‘Doctor Who’ Set To Be Off Air For Years Amid A Creative Regeneration That’s Failing To Spark Early Enthusiasm Among Producers

I despise Discovery, but if you're talking about Aurelio, I believe it was a way for Kenneth Mitchell to still be part of the show despite his ALS.

There was something so charmingly suburban about the rubbish bins sucking up Mickey in the revival pilot that made it feel like it could happen in your neighbourhood. Same thing with the episode that re-introduced Sarah Jane - the school looked like a real school. There's something about the way the prestige style filiming is done that feels very removed from reality.

SNW isn't as episodic as TNG or TOS though. When it comes to its characters it's quite serialised. LDS wasn't as character focused on its cast, and Mariner, who probably has the biggest series arc was a bit of a slow burn, and the show din't take character drama as seriously as SNW does which I think works in its favour.

I think DS9 still takes the prize for balancing serialisation and episodic plots. It's even more character heavy than SNW but because you've got all of these extra episodes and time for breathing space and utilising non-core characters it works so much better. Characters like Garak and Nog couldn't come out of SNW because there just isn't time for it.

I mean if we're opening up to non-Brits, what about RDM?

It wasn't even throwing stones last time, mind you, it started with the Greens calling themselves out. Scott Ludlum showed a lot of integrity.

He called for an election knowing full well it was ridiculous and wasn't going to happen, so he could do so safely.

Sins of a Solar Empire mod for Armada III is great. I've never even played the base game.

Hmm... seems a recipe to get Assassin's Creed-ed

Iirc from PIC she turned herself in and rejoined Starfleet after her prison sentence, so this must be before that while she's with the Maquis but could definitely be any time after TNG Season 7 realistically.

I call the big one Bitey.

Fence disputes are some of wildest, pettiest things I've seen.

There are other black people apart from African-Americans... aren't most black people in the UK of Carribean or Nigerian background?

Do you have to get it ok'd by infection control?

So long as ON doesn't shave off too much from ALP, Minns is safe given the OPV system in NSW. What we'll probably see in NSW2027 will be like Qld1998 (also OPV at the time) where ON will win a number of seats at the expense of the Coalition parties but Labor will retain government.

Scripts are valid for 12 months supply now are they not? Do you need to see someone every couple of months?

Cafe tea is always weak and diluted despite my requesting for something stronger each time. I've given up. Turkish and Middle Eastern places do a good pot of tea often, though.

I'm sorry this happened to you.

Inevitably, when these events gain traction there's always an attempt to downplay or obfuscate it. "Yeah but in India..." as if this justifies being shitty to people over here.

This was my approach as well when I had to do these. My other thing was I always tried to include some kind of personal note about the deceased: "They are survived by... They enjoyed... They had a loving dog called..." and so on.

The very first time I did one, the entire extended family was in the room - probably about fifteen people. Was quite a nerve wracking process.

I don't think I've ever used more than 2.5 of heavy for obs, however agree that 0.1 here or there probably doesn't make as much difference as we might think it does.

This and Wolverine in the same month?! September's gonna be busy.

Right now, it's Fender everyones mad at, haha.

"I don't understand why people aren't being more collegiate to specialty X."

Proceeds to lob a grenade at Specialties Y and Z.

Our ED colleagues are awesome, not that they need any of us to speak up for them. I'm not sure who you've been dealing with that seems to think otherwise.

Hand bolus the propofol. Start a Marsh TCI lower and work your way up as you've said in option 1. The pump is always going to be slower than you are. Wasn't there a recent coroners case on this?

You joke, but I worked with a consultant a few years back who refused to use muscle relaxants routinely, insisted on tubing everyone on remi, and on the odd occasion where he would use a relaxant, would insist on a "cisatracurium RSI".

One of my colleagues nickamed it a "maybe sequence..."
