A thought about last Saturday's Doctor Who, 6.4:
The scene when the Doctor looks at the junkyard of broken and discarded TARDISes and sees parts, while the TARDIS sees "people"--her sisters--really draws a parallel between the Doctor and House. (And BTW, that name? MASSIVE FANDOM CONFUSION. Thanks, Gneil.) He wants to build a patchwork TARDIS out of various pieces of broken ones, like House builds patchwork people.
I wonder if the TARDIS minds that the Doctor is basically pulling a Frankenstein on her sisters? She doesn't seem to. And I wonder if this is supposed to have some deeper meaning? It doesn't really seem to either. Just a signature creepy-Gaiman touch. But it does seem to fit in with the parallels/alternate timelines/mirror imagery that the last couple of seasons have been exploring.
