The thing that terrifies me about both of Moffat's monsters is that they fuck with the fear response: you are only safe when you are present and looking at the beast. Unlike other situations where your gut-reaction is to run, doing that here is what will get you killed...from a certain point of view. The Angel's…

Seconded.

I had to jump in and defend Mortal Kombat...despite some cheez-whiz, it is a decent action kung-fu flick, my Dad even said it reminded him of Enter the Dragon when it came out. In my opinion, Mortal Kombat is the best video game movie ever. Not that there's a great deal of greatness coming out of video game movies. …

I don't, but SGU was getting pretty darned dynamic, right around the time it was getting the axe (personally I loved Eli growing, Rush softening, Greer in general, and the drones relentless pursuit, so I'm not trying to be sheep on SGU, I really did like these things), but those episodes were filmed well before they…

I agree with this, new shows in particular, should have no less than three seasons, to find their mooring, perhaps shorter shoot schedules will also make the producers and writers get to the meat instead of the fluff a lot of new shows seems to choke on trying to find what does and doesn't work. "30 episodes or you…

I see a new io9 bracket poll fight forming...who's the wackiest crackpot? I take full credit.

Sadly, this is probably the truist statement that could be made, but it'll work for now, and when the super-persisters come along and we discover essence of chilli peppers works on those, then ultra-persisters will come along, until we're fighting overlord-persisters by drinking buckets of duck sperm...we're all…

Clearly this guy is unaware of the made up three hundred years on our calendar. Oh, and the fact that zero wasn't a number when the calendar was created so we're actually missing another forty or so years. Math. It sucks no matter what.

Okay, so in all seriousness (I'm simple minded, forgive me, I try to understand these hugely complex stellar mechanics in the simplest of terms), gravity acted like the teeth of a gear? Like cogs in a machine, one going clockwise actually makes the one it's touching go counter-clockwise?

@lazerus72: Obligatory "How you dooooin?"

So, if this were true in human schizophrenics, could they be turned into mentats?

I now officialy refuse to have anything to do with this. Part of me held out hope for some barbarian goodness, but fast cuts, obvious computer effects, and pronouncing his name like a certain late night show host with red hair are too much for me to handle.

Red hair? Check.

The Doctor gets bit? He's sure getting a lot of lady-mouth these days.

That makes sense (but I like thinking weird, it's why I passed algebra despite having problems with every other form of math, there's a little imagination to it!), and as someone else posited, this could explain the universe expanding, if it's the result of this negative force trying to be as far away from matter as…

That must be it, thanks!

@corpore-metal: So, conceptually of course, I'm not smart enough to put it properly, you know, science-y, antimatter with it's negative mass, placed on a bathroom scale would then make the scale go backward into negative numbers as a result of the mass of gravity chasing the antimatter?

I wish I had a high power camera of some sort, I have on multiple occasions seen over my neighborhood what I can only describe as a second moon. I know it's got to be a trick of the atmosphere because it only happens in certain conditions, but it's eerie nonetheless. Typically when it's partly cloudy and the moon…

I am a fan of boobs, but I think I like the feathery one the most.

I said it in last weeks recap, but I think future!Doctor isn't the Doctor at all...perhaps it's this timey-wimey girl instead of a Doctor clone, since we've seen her regenerate now. Perhaps she can mimic the Doctor's appearance and agrees to sacrifice herself. I just KNOW that we're gonna come back to that scene…
