Right. I’m a taaad slow. I wasn’t aware that that person had actually been on other threads -most of my thread boxes aren’t ticked. And I get it: if we respond that’s their win, not ours.

I always thought talking, nicely, would help. Would change …..something. Thing is, a troll’s a troll. L…[Read more]

Thank you @craig (and @jimthefish.) Running and modding this site must take a considerable amount of time and energy, especially recently!

I absolutely love this forum because it’s open to all while maintaining standards of civility and intellectual rigour, and a genuine sense of community.

It’s sad but no surprise that occasionally commenters…[Read more]

I came across this today too. Just some proof that Scotland really doesn’t effect UK elections. It’s from the same source but the facts can be checked.

Why Labour doesn’t need Scotland

@Jimthefish I couldn’t agree with you more. It was the perfect season finale for a simply poor and disappointing season of Doctor Who. That could have as easily been any episode this season. RIP S.M. and P.C. I will miss you two with out a doubt.

For a mid-late-series episode this would have been passable but for a finale it’s pretty damn poor.

We didn’t use to have a finale unless it was the final story of that particular Doctor – so this story was also Chris Chibnall saying that we’re not going to get the big, explosive, type of finale. In fact, I think I spotted one or t…[Read more]

Frogs are cool 🙂

There are some interesting points to debate, except in this case where I am clearly right and you are clearly wrong(1).

1. Name that episode.

Now, who’s going to explain synchronised swimming?

@kevinwho

It’s not that it was uninteresting, but that a browse through the archive would see how heavily the ground has been covered.

You may find it useful browse the blogs from a couple of years back about Buffy. Even non-fans know about the silent episode, the bonkers dream episode, the musical episode and the Willow-in-leather episode (OK,…[Read more]

@JimTheFish

I just want to point out that I’m not railing against some kind of BBC amphibian agenda here. Just at seeing a quite promising Stranger Things/Solaris fusion squandering its potential in such a spectacular fashion….

See, this is what happens when people are coming at an episode from different directions. The only version of Sol…[Read more]

Trigger warning: Frogs play a starring role in the final part of Terry Pratchett’s Bromeliad trilogy.

A very Doctorish take on Through the Looking Glass, and perhaps the best and most imaginative episode so far this year. The initial misdirection was neatly done and the concept of an alternative and lonely universe yearning to connect with ours was compelling, though it rang faint bells and I’m not sure it was entirely original. As @pedant says,…[Read more]

@jimthefish well just the one frog actually…
