It really felt like something done in benefit of the really, really, really inattentive nitpicky players, which are like… three? Because the kind of player that just goes along for the ride won't care about the details and nitpickers will have picked up the clues already.

Which one were you interested in?

Oh, yes, it's still a huge factor. But I like that it's not so much ego/self-esteem - because he also consistently doesn't like himself that much - but rather a whole lot of unwarranted confidence in his mind/intelligence/etc.

I don't AoU was about his ego, not exactly. If you look at what he's doing and his reasons, he's actually trying to replace himself, which is not really something IM1!Tony would have done.

The fact that Tony is a relatively credible option for a mentor.shows that he has had a really huge character arc.

That's a great quest.

Still playing Dishonored 2 (doing a Ghost run). I… can't believe how much I missed in my first playthrough. I knew that I had spent the first two missions flailing around, but apparently I also spent the last ones flailing around too. I'm in the middle of A Crack in the Slab right now and I love that level so much.…

If I don't remember wrong, there should be a bunch of Intimidating/Charming/Convincing skills. Those unlock quest options, sometimes.

I really loved it at the time, but I like DA2 and DA:I way better. I also realized that I pretty much hate two our of its three dungeons.

God, won't I always love how the Spanish subbing team just went 'eh, add those letters back in'.

I think that, given the themes it ends up focusing on, it wasn't intended as an abortion lecture.

It depends on what I'm rating them for. Series 6 has some of the best episodes in New Who, for example.

Ha, I'm glad it resonated. I haven't seen much of Moffat's work outside of Who, but what he sees in Who is pretty much what I see. I'm really sad to see him go.

Well, in the episode. I just really don't like the fake cleverness in 'oh, there's no indication at all that it was a dream, but what if?'.

That's… completely irrelevant? My point was that it makes no sense to assume that the final part is in the Doctor's mind.

1) It's not really that complex? It's like in Father's Day, when Rose travelled back in time to where she was a baby. This is the same.

I really want that fella to get Internet so we can delight in him.

And The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances! His first Who episode sets his philosophy quite well and Midnight is not really… fitting with that idea of what Doctor Who is.

I always saw that as two people who weren't really seeing each other, but their biases. The Doctor has always kinda been annoyed at the military and Danny also lacks the curiosity that he enjoys in humans. Danny, otoh, sees the Doctor's impervious authority and maps it onto his experiences.

Well, I'd consider seeing her boyfriend turned into a Cybermen tragedy enough. And in the case of Bill, being turned into a Cybermen counts as suffering too. It did go wrong! Death is not the only way to show stakes.
