Actually ‘aluminum’ was coined by a Brit.

No, it’s Taika Waititi as “Wizard”.

Or “No Mans’ Skies”?

I know Rian Johnson wrote TLJ but I really don’t think he had much say in the direction it took - if TFA started a story arc, then he would have had to work within the confines of that story arc. Likewise, I don’t think Episode IX is going to turn out much different with Abrams back at the helm than it would have done…

That’s pretty much how I remember them.

They were released around the time of T3 and totally outshone it in terms of what a sequel to T2 should have been.

I loved it so much. It was one of those shows I lived to watch week by week - pretty much the Game of Thrones of its day for me. The ongoing plot was pretty strong and some of its more standalone episodes were outright fantastic.

Also it will make a shit ton of money.

Due to a dispute between the props department and the special effects department - each insisting the TARDIS set was the other’s responsibility!

I’m not sure an adamantium skeleton qualifies as cybernetics per se but I’m willing to have that debate. 

There was a trilogy of books, starting with T2: Infiltrator, by S.M. Stirling that featured a Terminator (the titular ‘Infiltrator’) that was made that way. Basically, Skynet had decided that they needed Terminators that were even better at passing for humans (rather than being so big they had no option but to make…

Yeah, Disney have set a dangerous precedent here. Gunn’s tweets were posted years before he was hired to direct Guardians so there’s no way Disney didn’t know about them before now, so he hasn’t so much been fired for the things he said, but rather because the things he said have been highlighted by a vocal minority,…

Firstly, what Roseanne said was not a joke - she can argue it was meant as a joke all she wants, but the fact that it was an offensive tweet about a specific, real, living person is what made it cross the line. Gunn’s tweets, as unfunny as they are, were clearly meant as jokes because they’re not aimed at anyone in…

Some of his jokes were racist - but they were still jokes. Or at least, attempts at jokes, because none of them are really funny. But they are clearly meant as jokes because they are pretty generic and do not reference any actual real people or events. It’s not like he was making derogatory comments about individual…

Yeah, he should be president by now.

You’re mixing up the leak of Rose (Series 1, Episode 1, 2005), which is what we’re discussing, with the leak of various scripts, clips and unfinished episodes from Peter Capaldi’s first series as the Doctor (Series 8, 2014).

Just like Bill Murray and Lorenzo Music.

I love how a) you ‘know’ what JJ Abrams was thinking and b) you ‘know’ that it was Rian Johnson that said ‘fuck all that’. I don’t have the fly-on-the-wall inside scoop that you have, but it would be great if you could leak some of that production meeting footage you shot to prove all this so we can file a class…

What is your source for it being a BBC leak? Or are you just conspiracy theorising? Because I’m not saying that it wasn’t leaked “accidentally on purpose” and that the “firing” wasn’t just a smoke screen, it’s just that I’ve never seen it attributed to anyone internally at the BBC - everything I’ve read about it over…

That wasn’t a leak so much as it was a statement released by the BBC that shouldn’t have been released at all. They weren’t going to announce that Eccleston had decided not to do a second series at all, but journalists kept making inquiries about it and so they decided to tell them that he wasn’t returning due to…
