The Borg would presumably be able to adapt their shielding to block the Daleks' beam weapons, making them no threat at all, but would also find it impossible to assimilate them through their armour, unless they happened to have previously assimilated knowledge of Sophie Aldred's baseball bat. Stalemate.

Despite their reputation, these episodes aren't anywhere near as terrible as suggested, merely not very good. Perhaps the one thing which annoys me more than anything else though is when the Daleks launch an attack on Hooverville and the Doctor offers his own life to save the others. How does this plan make sense,

Aha, I was under the impression Wolverine was certainly popular, but more one among the team. Doesn't change my opinion that he's overexposed on film, of course, but at least it's staying true to the comics then, I suppose.

Surely I'm not the only one who's utterly sick of Wolverine by now? I'm not a comic book reader but never got the impression he was a particularly dominant figure in the X-Men canon, yet he seems to be front and centre in almost every movie (First Class aside) despite the fact we'd seemingly been told everything

Gotcha. At least now when I'm needlessly revealing my occasional fondness for tween girl-oriented programming, I'll be able to state the correct supplier. Huzzah!

I'm in the UK, so know nothing of your crazy American networks.

Poor old Gomie. I actually think she's pretty good in Wizards Of Waverley Place, but the queen of Disney-bred sexy songstress comediennes is undoubtedly Ariana Grande, whose Cat Valentine is a gloriously barmy comic creation. Liz Gillies is pretty great too.

My sister and I have next to nothing in common pop culture-wise, but if we can expand the topic to include all family members, an ex-boyfriend of my mum's was big into '60s TV and introduced me to The Prisoner, The Avengers, Star Trek and more besides. He didn't turn out to be such a great bloke in the end, but his

Nagger?

'Shakespeare Code' is just big, ridiculous fun and while it could have taken a deeper look at Shakespeare's depression after his son's death, or a more careful examination of the implications of a non-white time traveller, I'm glad it didn't. Those topics are far too weighty for a second episode, and part of my

You never know until you've got one.

There's a re-enactment of Ourumov executing Trevelyan if you don't exit the level or kill any guards once the alarm goes off in the Facility bottling room. In Bunker II, a conversation between Bond and Natalya is triggered if you walk over to her while emprisoned, ending with Bond announcing he has a 'cunning plan'.

Beyond Good & Evil did this very well, basically throwing you into a boss battle from the start. It was very simple to defeat of course, but got the game started with some momentum and gave a sense of the stakes to the plot.

I haven't played it (don't own a 3DS) but have heard it ditched almost all the tutorialising and hand-holding. Sounds great, and very promising for Zelda U.

My all-time favourite TV show did 'will they, won't they' and diabolical masterminds perfectly. Naturally, I'm talking about The Avengers - the proper, John Steed Avengers - where it was never explicitly stated whether Steed and his trifecta of female partners ever 'did' anything, but it was pretty strongly hinted and

Skyward Sword, Twilight Princess. Inelegant, overlong, laborious, dreary… compare that to the masterpiece of design simplicity of putting a cave on the first screen of the original Zelda, knowing that even with three alternate paths that's where everyone would go without instruction and immediately find the sword,

KOOGLER!

Anyone who embarrasses Piers Morgan is alright by me.
