Well, this time I’ll be Capt Obvious

I’ll that THAT as a challenge…

@kevinwho

Leave it alone – trolling rule 101: never tag people properly, even though the method is obvious to anyone with an IQ higher than that of a frozen pea.

Also, this one has form.

@misslegaleagle

When you say “we”, who did your polling for you?

@seeoswald

It’s nice to see you are the same trolling halfwit you were three years ago, the last time your witless trolling got you into a lather while everyone else pointed and laughed.

Rewatch

Per @juniperfish, Charlie was never presented as a ‘union’ man – he lied to get the job and referred only to ‘The Cause’ – and was closer to a Luddite (aside: although they could easily be interpreted as proto-middle classes trying to protect their privilege). He had murdered and was planning mass-murder.  He was no Tolpuddle Martyr, but…[Read more]

The system didn’t kill Kira – the terrorist did.

The terrorist who had hacked the system.

Work by definition is to through labor, physical or mental, to gain something you want or you need, it is a mean to an end

Work isn’t only a means to an end. Something like 80% of marriages are between people who meet through work.

@bluesqueakpip

Also, per The Doc’s “That’s robotist” crack, the biggest robot was the system that called for help. Which makes one wonder if it is constrained by Asimov’s three laws, and in particular the first:

A robot must not harm a human being, or through inaction allow a human to come to harm.

@juniperfish

Nice-ish middle-management, historically, are not the engine of betterment.

But a large and stable middle class is a sign of it. Entire empires, from China to Rome, and even Britain have fallen because of the lack of a stable middle class and, instead, reliance on various from of indenture (from outright chattel slavery to…[Read more]

@fatmaninabox

I know. I let myself down on 5th Nov ‘cos I was out photographing these:

This ep also had the tightest dialogue and direction/editing so far, so I would be intrigued to know the shooting blocks.

@cedarbranchtardis

Why can’t the Doctor go back in time and visit Amy and Rory?

Short answer: cast availability (Lis Sladen is dead, Karen Gillan and Jenna Coleman fantastically in-demand and busy).

Slightly longer answer: the show needs to keep moving and looking forward. Once it gets bogged down in its past, it is dead. Moffat trod a very f…[Read more]

Good old fashioned hokum. Enjoyed that.

And once again, the obvious baddie is not the baddie…

I’m sensing a theme….

BBC APPROVED SPOILERS...

@mudlark

Christ on a bike that’s tiresome – but definitely better to get it nuked early (and it is good that the Docs are still free to err on the cautious side).

@Arbutus

Thank very much. I’m OK, although still keep getting flashbacks to my dashboard light up like the friggin’ Blackpool illuminations. On the plus side, since there was no credible dispute about who was at fault, the insurance has been sorted very quickly.

I get the proper glucose testing a few weeks, so it will be interesting to see if…[Read more]

gammon

Right wing, face like gammon steak, hate anything that might smack of foreign, vote UKIP and the BBC in a consistent and inexcusable display of poor editorial judgement is prone to packing the audience for its Question Time show with such,…[Read more]

@mudlark @troygorsline

Worth noting that head covering (extent/ requirement) is much more cultural than religious. None of the women of the Bangladeshi (once East Pakistan) family I used to live next door to routinely covered their heads, and few of those in the neighbourhood did, other than on ceremonial occasions (when they were spectacularly…[Read more]

Apparently a lot of gammon stomping off is no biggee…

(Especially when they will sneak bake so that can whinge again)
