Is the phrase "huevos rancheros"?

"What became of Trojan?" Good question. Will people still use them because--hey!-- there's still syphilis and Hep C out there? Or, without the fear of preggers, will straight America become one big pool of multi-drug resistant gonorrhea?

I gave "timey-wimey" a pass initially because the episode treated it as a stupid thing to say. Sally Sparrow smirked at it, the Doctor realized he sounded like a fool-- it worked in context. And it matched Tennant's characterization of the Doctor: he would leap before he looked and apparently start sentences before he knew where they'd go. It made sense at the time. When the show started referencing it again and again as Moffat became the show runner, then it became intolerably self-satisfied. The phrase "crawling up your own b-hole" comes to mind. Am I wrong in detecting some passive-aggression in this Canon submission? I half-expected Sarah to say, "Alright, we've watched 'Doctor Who' for the Canon. (You can all stop writing us now.)"

I'm probably not the first person to say this, Jeff, but you might at some point want to go back and watch Tennant's last season, with Catherine Tate as the companion. That season has some great moments of a companion with more to do than say, "What is it, Doctor?"
