The episode is titled "The Victory of the Daleks," and it is completely accurate. Maybe the Moff doesn't want to mess with the high note he left them on?

Good to see the return of Colin Farrell and the Eyebrow of Power.
My first thought was "HOLY SHIT WEEPING ANGEL!" But I guess the guy from Pan's Labyrinth would be a better fit.
So, they can have Sinestro with prosthetics and makeup, but Ryan Reynolds couldn't wear an actual mask? I'm not upset with the suit, I understand their reasons for that, but would it had killed them to give him a physical mask?
So, lateral lines are cool and all, but I was under the impression that pretty much all fish have those. So not exactly a reason to bow down before your shark overlords, unless you're planning on bowing to the goldfish next.
While there are certainly reasons to think that DNA might make for a useful computational substrate, if the best this author has is "it's base 4 rather than base 2," I'm extremely unimpressed. Sure, on its face having base 4 rather than base 2 means you can halve the number of spaces needed to store information, but…
Exactly, I saw a suggestion somewhere that people put out fake "rapture leftovers" like those suggested here, and then underneath include a flyer reading "The Rapture didn't happen, but there are real people on Earth with real needs; please donate these clothes."
First of all, the lack of a "overthrow the corrupt government which will just steal any food aid you provide to the country and try to replace them with one that's not going to kill its people" option makes this poll kind of invalid. However, with that said, anyone reading the comments before voting should STOP NOW…
If I'm not mistaken, these would constitute MACHOs, the leading opponent to WIMPs (dark matter particles) for explaining the missing mass; however, I thought MACHOs were fairly well proven to not exist in large enough quantities to explain a significant portion of said mass. Didn't this blog's physicist-in-residence…
So, I'm sure the author knows this, but I hope the commenters are also aware that the Hubble Volume is named after astronomer Edwin Hubble, after whom the space telescope is also named, rather than being named after the telescope directly.
Certainly, the vast majority of fanfiction is crap. This is not the same as "*all* fanfiction is crap." While I completely understand saying "I'm not going to wade through that cesspool to find the occasional gem," when someone says "I've done the wading and found the gems; you should take a look," you can't just…
For those of you saying "wow, that Battle of Hogwarts looks a lot more exciting than the one from the books," you should read the fanfic Dumbledore's Army and the Year of Darkness. It's extremely dark and gory, but it recounts Neville's seventh year at Hogwarts and the true brutality of the battle.
"There will be no survivors...it's what they did to my people." Then how are you alive? Or is this like the Dread Pirate Roberts, who everyone knows about despite his leaving no survivors?
No Sword of Truth? Really? Yes, the later books go downhill significantly, but at least in the earlier novels, literally hours after the protagonists have finally vanquished all those who seek to kill/torture them, the next disaster (and book) starts. Never mind the author's obsession with obscure sects of sexy women…
When I saw the title of this post, I was sure it was going to read like "Scene 1: the first tenth of the movie. Scene 2: the next tenth of the movie. Scene 3: the third tenth...you know what, by now you should have noticed a pattern."
Speaking of guest stars, though, isn't it about time Mark Sheppard has an episode? Everyone knows it's not really a sci-fi show until Mark's been the Morally Ambiguous Brit.
You mean "The Doctor is marrying the Doctor's daughter, who is also the Doctor's favorite Doctor's daughter." It's like fractal weirdness.
While I can't fault this list, some other interesting species are the squid, whose giant neuron (with an axon up to 1 mm in diameter!) allowed for early researchers to understand the electrochemistry of neurons; the zebra finch, whose mating call is frequently studied to discover how animals learn complex behaviors;…
