Paul's letter footprint stretches waaay back to Prog 268 in 1982. He has been awarded the Beast Code MMM, which was stripped from James Mackay who has been stuck on 9 since 2008. Sorry James but it's a tough old world in the letters game.

As soon as someone proves there's a paying audience for action films with female villains, The Rock will be wailing on Meryl Streep's face with a 2x4.

Why would Stannis sacrifice his only living heir if his goal is to be king?
Quote
Why would the Boltons - an upjumped minor house with a tenuous claim on the North - immediately turn on the Lannisters with little to gain from doing so, and when they have only just forged an alliance?
What the hell is Littlefinger even up to in the North, and why did he think marrying Sansa to the Boltons would be a good idea? Isn't he supposed to be the mastermind behind basically everything that has transpired so far? What is his endgame here exactly? Chaos for the sake of chaos?
QuoteGive it time. He's been hopelessly in love with Cersei since he was a kid, he can't just turn on her immediately.
Why doesn't Jaime seem to be particularly bothered about the atrocity Cersei just committed?
QuoteYeah. Poor scripting there. They could easily have had him return with a big fleet and just add a few more ship to it. No way round this one.
How could Euron build 1000 ships in the space of a few months, on an island that has few trees or natural resources?
QuoteWhat with High Sparrow etc, they had a few other things on.
Why didn't the Lannisters immediately retaliate against the Martells for killing Myrcella?
QuoteAlliser Thorne spent his entire life defending the rules. It takes a lot of time and conspiring to overcome that.
If Alliser Thorne and his cronies' grievance with Jon was that he allowed the Wildlings through the Wall, wouldn't it have been a better idea to assassinate him before he did that rather than after?
QuoteShe didn't trust Baelish to actually bring them until they arrived.
What possible reason (other than a contrived way of upping the drama) would Sansa have for not telling Jon about the Knights of the Vale before the Battle of of Winterfell?
QuoteI think Jaqen had a serious soft spot for her: it was the Waif who insisted she be allowed to kill Arya. In that last scene, Arya had a sword to his heart, which also may have helped his decision.
Why did the Faceless Men have an inexplicable change of heart about Arya, and let her go after she killed the Waif?
QuoteRavens got faster, and there are things people don't know - nobody knows about the Brotherhood, or who killed the Freys, etc.
Why does everyone seem to know exactly what everyone else is up to at the moment?
QuoteFor that matter, why does everyone assume Tommen committed suicide and was not murdered, when no one was there to see it happen?Nobody else in his heavily guarded apartments, and nobody would dare accuse Cersei of such a thing.

The Doctor as an identification figure for geeky/spectrum kids like myself shouldn't be underestimated. It is hard to think of another character in popular fiction who fulfilled that asexual/non aggressive male persona.
There's a lot of talk about just how important representation is for minorities, so if you wanted to be geeky about it, you could say the Doctor was fulfilling just that for atypical boys.
If you had asked me a while back, I'd have been wary just on that basis. but then you realise there are geeky/spectrum females who haven't even had the luxury of one role model - the fact we can share ours with them is rather wonderful, no?
