The simulation plot wasn't really a plot, but just a remarkable simulation of a plot.

I'm rather happy to hear that Pittsburgh will be standing in for Gotham. I've lived here for 4 years, and I really like this town.

There can be only one first female Doctor: Joanna Lumley. Yes, even today, she'd qualify.

Maybe, but at the same time- it left us wanting more. Every show should get cancelled before the audience gets tired of it.

I concur. I am sick and tired of Hollywood's daddy-issues.

It's like writers and producers believe that if a character doesn't have that hint of a flamboyant lisp, nobody will realize that the character is gay unless the writers make a plot point out of it. Y'know, sort of like the real world.

Adric wasn't a timelord- but weirder things have regenerated. But I like your version better…

Wait- Brannon Braga is behind this? The man who wrote "Threshold"? The man who produced "Voyager", "Enterprise" and wrote the 8th season of "24"?

Too obvious. Amy is Amy. River, obviously, is a regenerated version of Adric.

People are sometimes intimidated by the complexity of the show's backstory, but they should really just keep in mind that it's about a blue box that can travel anywhere in time and space and sometimes even get where it's going. And there will be a bloke in it, and he will try to fix what's wrong, and usually he'll…

For the first few episodes, my friends and I were convinced that Captain Archer on "Enterprise" was gay.Wes topped watching shortly thereafter (because, honestly, that show was bad), but in my head, he's the first gay character in Star Trek.

Internally, that clock still measures time as the rotation of a gear; it simply uses oddly shaped gears to get the hands to "jump" at discrete intervals. The rotation itself remains continuous (and, because gears slip, those designs will usually have the hands "drift" off true). While the movement may be somewhat…

You don't need any mechanical parts in an analog watch. You could build a completely electronic analog watch; there's no good reason to do so (since gears are a perfectly effective way to handle values in an analog device).

Dark tone can only be maintained through contrast. Humor is a vital part of having a dark series. Not that Doctor Who is terribly dark (nor should it be!). But you can't really rip an audience's heart out until you've first made them laugh.

The display of the data is what defines a watch as analog. There is no way that an analog watch must work. What makes a watch analog is that it displays the data in an analog fashion- as a continues series of values.

That is a digital watch. An analog watch displays the time as a continuous value, usually as the rotation of arms or "hands". The key here is that an analog clock does not enter discrete states, but instead, sweeps its arms around.

This is an episode where the "B" plot- Volker- dominated the "A" plot into submission. I'm glad that Ginn's back, but that whole arc felt flat and strained. It was more "Counselor Troi - er, I mean Chloe is under a mysterious influence." I feel like there should have been more awkwardness- three girls, each attached…

There's nothing wrong with it, nor is there anything right with it. But for a storyline involving god-aliens, it's a poor choice.

"It's very much grounded in the real world." OH FUCK OFF.

Except for canned beets.
