If I were that sort of Dad (and who are we kidding here…I am) the first thoughts that would go full force though my noodle would be hooking this up, one for each kid, such that they would have to pay for intertubes access. Coin goes in, iptables get mucked to add their devices in, set a countdown timer script  based on coins inserted that would take the devices out of the iptables when their time was up…and then sit back and watch as the mayhem commences….and then watch as they learn how to hack iptables, routers and spoof mac address. Seriously, if I were that sort of Dad. ………

PS…this somehow reminds me of the punch line to a very old joke I learned from my Dad…'Here I sit broken hearted, paid a nickle …only farted."

The War Doctor gets sorted but then at the end another possible twisty turvy timely wimely wrench thrown in……The Curator. Great casting on that and one that opens up a ton of possibilities. At the very least Big Finish should have another 30 years of "maybe its canon maybe its not"  material. A good time was had by all…and made better in that the theater fraked up the first 15 mins of the 3d projector…fixed it…started it from the start with a comp ticket for any other movie. Yep, Doctor Who paid for my Hobbit II tickets:)-
