@corpore-metal: Then maybe the economics of efficiencey will even things out. That would be ironic.

@corpore-metal: Oh, man, I hadn't even thought of robot-slave police! I could think of like 6 books to write right out of that alone.

@obsidianpunk: Believe me, as a black sci-fi fan myself, talk of robot slaves strikes a bit close to home, too.

All this talk of how we will treat our AIs overlooks one very weird and very creepy, yet vital issue: How will the AIs want to be treated?

@lucife: I see. So it sounds like the overall intent is the same, though the tone is darker?

If they're newtypes, they should be piloting gundams!

@Charlie Jane Anders: Not so much a question, as a schism among the faithful.

@britboyj: That's the thing. If Rassilon didn't recognize him, but the Doctor did, it makes the whole thing even more awesome. Then casting them all into nothingness is an even greater symbollic act of denying his old self.

@Douglas Raymond: That's the beauty of it. Because they already went over the idea that the Time Lords could re-create/clone/re-make dead Time Lords when they brought The Master back. It only makes sense that they'd bring back the guy who they thought was the biggest bad-ass in their history back, not realizing that…

@Derek Gelinas: The Time Lords said that Rassilon was a duplicate, one they'd re-created to fight the Time War, just like they made a new Master to fight before him. They didn't know who the Doctor really was. And seeing that duplicate of the old self he's been running from for eons would be the thing to finally make…

@PistachioWildebeest: Also viable. Remember, part of the joy of fan-theory is that you can take something that appeared on screen for 3 seconds and turn it into the center of Cannon. Look at Star Wars!

@britboyj: Of course. Because the Time Lords didn't know the Doctor's true origin. They recreated a Rassilon, probably a clone or something. Same thing they did to The Master. And the eviler Rassilon was, the more the Doctor has to repent.

Where proper explanations are left wanting, it's time for berserk internet fan-theory!

I loved this show! I saw it in the early 90's, and I was blown away because I'd never even heard of a lot of these movies, and now had to see them. It was because of this show that I hunted down a copy of Evil Dead 2 and showed to the guys in the dorm when I got back to college. It was because of this show that I…

I remember the first time I went to see a Combots cup competition. Yes, I remembered Battlebots from years past, so I had a vague idea of what to expect, but it's nothing compared to being there ringside.

@picrad: True enough, but there's a bit more to it. Remember the time and place. Jekyll & Hyde was written in an era of social upheaval and sexual repression. In contrast, The Hulk was a creature of the nuclear era. Dr. Jekyll was a repressed individual who became a deviant. Dr. Banner was a nuclear weapons scientist…

@BubbaZanetti: A new Star One album! You just made my day!

@Meander061: I love that her version of swimwear involves her putting on more clothing.

Well, who else would be better to pilot the Deathmobile? Broyles? He'd be all moody and stern behind the wheel of the deathmobile. Fauxlivia would use it for thrill-kill joy-rides. Peter would swear he'd never get in the deathmobile, but then would secretly build his own deathmobile in his garage. And Astrid? She'd…

@twophrasebark: Three's company, nothing! You gotta go full Marx Brothers for that kind of quality.
