I'm pretty sure it has to do with the speaker. I think that everyone except Malcolm who actually speaks Arabic(?) pronounces it Raysh.

Cyberpunk games are fantastic for smaller groups. You could probably do a decent game with a GM and two players very easily.

The Cyberpunk RPG in any of its editions is most certainly not a similar system. It's a similar genre (cyberpunk), but the system is massively different.

I always thought that hypertime was a fantastic concept. How can you not love a system that explains continuity errors in the comics by saying that the universe itself has continuity errors?

"[E]verybody could be enjoying much better science fiction if resources were allocated to something less stupid than superheroes."

And given Bricken's overall level of nerd-awareness, I'm rather surprised he didn't know. The Blood War has been a fairly widely written-about part of D&D since Planescape came out twenty-odd years ago.

"Raysh! Raysh Raysh Raysh! We all heard it! We heard the guy say his own name and it is pronounced Raysh"

Is Wells raising up an Injustice League? Does he somehow believe he's a metahuman messiah a la Magneto? Is he just a megalomaniacal game-player of the highest order?

"[I]t seems to me [Robbie Amell] did a pretty great impression of Victor Garber's speech patterns and infliction when playing Ronnie as controlled by Stein.

My personal theory is that the Dream Lord is the Valeyard. Amalgam of darker thoughts from his last incarnation? Certainly fits the bill! He may have survived by somehow hitching a ride on the psychoactive spores after the Doctor blew them out of the TARDIS.

Not a crime, no, but not a good thing in a movie reviewer.

I think Dottie's "Single White Female" moment might have actually been her preparing (in a weird way) to do some impersonation that's going to help make the SSR think Peggy's a traitor.

It's not like scientists and engineers don't actually make up cool and often forced acronyms for their projects in the real world.

I literally can no longer look at a picture of people silhouetted against a movie screen without a bit of cognitive dissonance if they're not sitting next to two robots.

Re: Eddie Thawne: I think Wells is from a lot farther in the future than ten years, and the reason he didn't kill Eddie is that Eddie is his ancestor. We've already seen that events in the present can change the future, so Wells doesn't want to risk editing himself out of existence by offing his granddad.

I would say this is the first Moffat Christmas special that was well done from start to finish. Not stellar, by any means, but solid all the way through.

Heck, they may have been the War Doctor's companions for all we know.

Can't figure out what character this is supposed to be.

If this was from a philosophy paper it could easily be a totally valid criticism.

Three thoughts:
