Opinions by their very nature are often not fair and usually are not unbiased. Honest is another thing altogether. Opinions should be given honesty. As far as I can see, Alasdair is giving his honest opinion and he is explaining why he has that opinion. That's all you can ask for.

Which is still stupid and slightly mad. There have been disasters throughout history that children have survived and their parents haven't. Good Lord! There are kids who survived the genocide in Rwanda who lost everything and everyone they loved. The same with the Holocaust. Going back to Biblical times, Lot didn't…

Arthur was coming from a different perspective. He was all about the miracle of creating life. He saw Samaritan as a child. He didn't think about the fact that Samaritan would be a child with unlimited power and no way of learning a moral code.

I can buy that Samaritan and the its "followers" can't think outside the box that way. Samaritan isn't set up to think about keeping humans alive. To Samaritan people are moveable pieces on a chess board and it goes with the easiest method to neutralize them, which is kill them. Frankly, the same logic applies to…

I wondered when they stated a character was going to die if it might not be John. As pointed out, his arc has come a long way. He redeemed himself. Reese's death would prove that nobody is safe. I also have noticed that Reese and Harold don't interact face to face much anymore. This is in part because the storyline…

Actually, the fact that people HAD to turn themselves into pretzels to say the kiss was only friendship kind of bolsters my point. The only reason they had to turn themselves into pretzels is because the immediate assumption was that John and Carter had a romantic interest in each other. So people are willing to leap…

The problem with this is if it were a heterosexual couple that had been expressing interest in one another, you wouldn't even question what Root meant. If Carter had said something like Root did about John before she died, no one would have said, maybe she was just going to say she values his friendship.

In my town, you can go to a high school not in your district if you want to take a course that is not offered at your assigned high school. The best high school in the city was the only one that taught Russian. We had a lot of kids that suddenly developed a passion for Russian so they could get in. I know it wasn't…

When I rewatched there was one person who reacted to Perkins. When one of the victims (the expert? I can't remember if it was him or the conductor) was being stalked by the mummy, Perkins was counting down the seconds and the expert said will you stop saying those numbers. It's possible that he could only hear him…

IMDB lists the mother as Beth Lancaster and the daughter as Sara Lancaster-Weis. I can see Beth keeping her name, especially because we know Beth had a professional identity that used Lancaster. But I can't see hyphenating the kids names, mostly because Lancaster has 9 characters and if you hyphenate a name that long…

That's what I thought. Then I how progressive, the husbands took the woman's name when they got married, because the curse was on the Lancaster family, not the guy the girl married family. I mean when the one girl escaped, her parents could have tried again and had more male heirs. Now Beth kept her maiden name, which…

This actually came up in Arrow where the character of Sara was shown to be in love with and having sex with Oliver; and who later revealed being in love with and having had sex with a woman. When the creator of the show was asked "Does this mean she's bisexual?", he pretty much said Duh, I thought that was self…

Bleeding heart liberal all the way, baby! Nice that you tried to insult me though.

And now that I know that, I'm less upset about the episode. The writers shouldn't have to consider how their story will fit into other cultures, so I accept that however we in the USA took it, there was no intention to make the an abortion debate.

I admit I kind of blew the whole the moon gained mass practically overnight off and went with Doctor Who science does not have anything to do with real life. That said, just a couple a sentences "I few months earlier there was a huge comet coming our way, Luckily it never got to earth, but the edges engulfed the moon"…

Well technically no one is ever totally equal to another person. Being hit by someone with a black belt in Karate is not equal to an untrained person hitting back. Hitting a child of either sex is very different from hitting an adult of either sex. If a six foot female wrestler hit Stephen Hawking it would not be an…

And here I have to totally take issue with your description of "good people like Clara". The thing on the moon had already destroyed millions of not billions of lives because it's very existence had caused cities to drown. They were faced with very little information about what would happen when the creature hatched.…

Well my position is that I think The Doctor was right to leave the decision in the hands of humans and Clara was right to feel angry and betrayed. So we aren't far apart about Clara at all. She was in a terrible position and she was angry about it. I am less happy that the show had her wanting The Doctor to make the…

Of course he could have been lying, but to what purpose? All he had to do was not let them blow up the moon. Heck he could have put it to a vote, and then The Doctor could have overridden the vote.

Ten and Eleven both stated that they were 900+ years. Eleven was around 1000 when he went to Trenzalore. He is now 2000. That gives him what 900 years on Trenzalore. But even taking your numbers, and say that he spent 200 years on Trenzalore that is more time than he has spent on earth. He has spent the most of his…
