Actually, you're right. Bad fiction doesn't have to make sense. Good fiction does.

Because...

I buy everything, except the coincidence which brings her into the life of her double. I would say there would need to be a secret coordination, some sort of plan by a Mr. X which conspired to have her in that place at that time otherwise the "grounded" feel of the story is lost on me.

While a too-powerful hero can makes things too easy (your reasoning for leaving Superman out of the previous epic list, if I recall), they can be all powerful and still be vulnerable... for example, Superman (and the other power-house super heros, such as WW, to a lesser extent).

A great episode. Very much the best Christmas episode. BUT.... at the moment of her death and rebirth, I was intensely disappointed that Clara was going to be another 20th century city girl. But, her (secret) origin opened up the door to some interesting ideas.

Clearly not the sarcastic, no, never... you may give her the benefit of the doubt, but given the dirth in both quality and accuracy of late, I'll give her my doubt first.

/le_grumble. Most of them lack epicness. Major players, like Superman, have been omitted in favor for some who were more involved in local troubles than worldly ones (Batman, Dredd, Wolverine, Jones, WW, Max, Zena, and Conan).

There is not "a" Cthulhu; there are multiple Cthulhi, the star-spawn of Cthulhu, but of Cthulhu there is only one!

But, didn't Damon do the same deliberate end with Brick girl in NO, with not a positive effect, which was why they went to the witch to check out the black magic mogo?

It all depends on the result. You can pose interesting questions, but without interesting answers you end up in Lost territory or, as we're discovering, Fringe. So far, the back and forth of "will Damon command-destroy the bond" is more of the same will they, won't they schtick. (Also, didn't they prove that the bond…

While I'd disagree with the premise (there is surely another, even several other mechanisms for understanding Who), it was the source of the "concern" which drew me in. The Doctor wasn't superpowerful. He had a broken time-machine and all he had, really, was an intellect and a memory; a merlin-like memory of days to…

It was indeed a questionable suggestion, which was my point and is why I took you to task on it.

While I have mentioned my profound atheism before, I was actually referring to my reference to it in THIS conversation. I believe it was in the response to your questionable suggestion that I may have been a Catholic Missionary in a past life. Once again, you both misunderstood what I said and didn't read what I…

I don't see the words "moron" or "idiot" in that quote. Try again, try harder.

And so it goes, and so it goes... nice to end on an Ad hominem attack. You keep putting words in my mouth to bolster you weak position (Once again, I never called anyone a moron or an idiot. You did that all by yourself). I used your criteria for evaluating an opinion based on the facts upon which it is based and you…

I'm not confusing opinions based on faulty facts and plot-holes, as the plot-holes form the basis for the faulty facts. Ask someone why the rainmaker is, they say Syd, they are wrong on the facts.

Where is the evidence that Nina was right? "Aha!" she says, "I've seen that tick in lizards too and by this rationale, you have regressed!" I would have loved for Windmark to have said (similarly to the Observer Peter tortured) "Actually, no. Similarity is not conclusive, nor even suggestive in the scientific method,…

Now, you are getting confused. Whether it be the second and third hand experience of religious indoctrination, they weren't missionaries. They were, as you described RESIDENT in the countries. Everything you described (with the exception of four words in the center of the paragraph, which I'll return to) happened in…

You say I didn't address your main criticism, and then you point out one of my points about said criticism and use it to go a different way. You had an issue with my angry and condescending (let's say) abuse of those who liked the movie, possibly the IQ comment, and when I venture an explanation of same by saying "the…

I didn't consider that you'd comment here, but I'm glad I could offer such joy to you at this time of good will to all wo/men. Normally, I don't expect responses. I just put out (in this case) an opposing view and leave it. But, it should be said... it's not the movie so much as the inordinate adulation which is given…
