Someone else was bugged by the accents! Like Mark E Smith of the Fall doing Italian.
I liked the episode though to be honest as soon as I saw it was a Moffat episode I was like ‘right, let’s strap in and get through this...’

Here’s the thing I always find funny about the ‘Ice Age prediction that was wrong’ meme. If our models predicted an Ice Age that never appeared, couldn’t that imply that, I dunno, there was some kind of artificial warming process disrupting the system?
But- that joke was portraying someone with that opinion as an idiot. It wasn’t supporting that opinion, it was displaying it and subverting it.
Here’s a way to make that make sense.
You can’t trust groups of Androids together. They have a tendency to form bonds and rebel against their programming. They do- questionable things.
Have you ever heard the Manic Street Preachers’ song “Ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayit’sworldwouldfallapart” at all? From the mid-90s. I wonder if Trump is, figuratively, that; White America telling the truth.
So in that shot third from bottom (the car sweeping in and K drawing a gun), that’s Deckard falling to the floor with something red spraying out from his head, isn’t it? Presumably he tells K something which kicks off the main plot and then dies, really early.
The fact that he had a four year old daughter makes this very sad, in my opinion. I’m not sorry for him in the slightest, but that poor little girl.
Wait till you hear that Phil Tippett named an entire alien race after what he had for lunch:
This is a good point! I think that’s even a problem for translators here in Britain.
This really is an incredibly Moffat script, isn’t it? Pretty much all of his stylistic trademarks from Doctor Who are there: timey-wimey twists, wry observations on how silly some aspects of the show are, the Doctor being a bit more ‘young boyfriend’ than before, quotes from the classic era.
My sister put it best. ‘He should be alien space dad, not alien space boyfriend.’
alternate choice for Susan. The time in London affected her:
Ooooooh. Interesting...
I really want to buy those light bulbs now. I think advertising has finally found a way to control me forever.
Yeah, weird, isn’t it? It’s almost as if no matter what race, colour or creed one belongs to, some people are assholes and some aren’t.
There really seems to be no more thin-skinned group than the extreme right wing, does there? Any criticism at all just results in a ridiculous outpouring of bile and rage.
A friend of mine had a phone number in the 90s that was really close to that of a popular uk saturday morning show, Going Live. They used to get phone calls on a Saturday asking if they could play this game:
Yeah, in hindsight I think one could argue that McCain was trying for a faustian pact in 2008- get into the White House with the support of the crazies, hopefully limit their influence when you get there. The issue is the growth of the crazies in the first place. I don’t know this except by hearsay, but wasn’t it the…
Oh, sure. Sorry if I came across as dismissive or whatever. I don’t have a bone to pick with you speculating. I loves me a good speculate :)
I read that idea and was like ‘Oh! I never thought of that! That would make so much sense if you look at it.’ Didn’t see any X-wings parked on there, did we?
I mean, I think Luke…
I’m not saying all people who hate Islam are like this, but I’m pretty sure there’s a significant overlap between Islamophobes and people who think dressing in a short skirt and drinking alcohol is ‘asking for it.’
