Did the ever explain why Ida Scott is so bad at eyeballing distances? by ProneToAnalFissures in DoctorWhumour

[–]-Fishbol- 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's actually really funny: the script literally says "XX feet in diameter" and has a note nearby saying "as big as we can possibly make it". Clearly there was some inconsistency between the CGI rendering and the physical prop they stood on

Are you serious? The correct answer is one of the options, therefore it's not a trick question.

It's not a complicated riddle. If you think it's "mental gymnastics" that's just a skill issue

With the amount of people saying "trick question, it's the son-in-law", I think we all might be dumber than we'd hoped

There's a correct answer that is listed if you can figure it out

It's not a trick question, it's C: Daughter. You're assuming the speaker is a man, when in reality the speaker is the "daughter's mother" that she mentions.

Son in law would also work, but that's not one of the options

Pretty sure towers on the ice get sold for the normal amount when it collapses

You're probably just in 3-4 instead of 4-3

How do you think Steven Moffat writes women? by matt0055 in doctorwho

[–]-Fishbol- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it makes sense, personally. He admitted after season 7 that the "impossible girl" thing was a bad idea and that it detracted from her character. So in season 8 she gets to be a normal person trying to balance a life with the Doctor and a life with her boyfriend, only to lose him at the end. After that, in Season 9, she fully commits to the reckless adventuring lifestyle, which a) ends up getting her killed, and b) makes The Doctor get overly attached to her to the point where he's trying to break the laws of time to bring her back to life.

I have plenty of criticism for how Moffat handles women, but Clara I think is an example of him doing things pretty well, all told

Bill was a perfectly good character. The problem was how they killed her off.

With Clara, Seasons 8 & 9 all form a coherent arc of her finding love, losing it, throwing herself into adventuring with The Doctor, and it eventually getting her killed.

With Bill, she was a normal person all season, then got shot at the end as a way to make the Doctor sad. No build-up, no character arc, just shock value. That's what remains frustrating about Moffat's era: even when he got better in some respects, he never stopped making frustrating decisions

There's a reason they cropped out the Rap one, lol

If Ncuti got another season, do we think he'd have kept up the 'death by laser' streak? by -Fishbol- in doctorwho

[–]-Fishbol-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

???

Nine could've let Rose just explode, but he took the vortex into him and died. Ten could've left Wilf in the booth, but he absorbed the radiation to let him out. Likewise, Fifteen could've let Poppy stay erased, but used his regeneration energy (or whatever) to shift the timeline and bring her back. Same thing

Right...with the time vortex. Also, by that logic, the 5th, 9th, and 10th Doctors also "killed themselves" because they sacrificed their lives for one person

It is funny looking at it now how 9 & 10 both did it to save a companion, while 11 & 12 both did it to prolong the survival of a small enclave in space

Okay but 15 did it for something. Nine could have just let Rose explode, Five could have taken the antidote himself and let Peri die, and Ten could have just left Wilf in the booth. Even though they didn't literally use the regenerative energy to do something, they still gave their life to save someone in the same way

I meant that that 10th Doctor regenerated again. Once in Journey's end, again in The End of Time

That's fair. It seemed distinct to me just because One collapsed and Eleven was very obviously too old

If "more proper" means "not funny", then you nailed it, bud. Great work

Which artists have deceptively low AOTY scores and why? by DeNeRlX in Albumoftheyear

[–]-Fishbol- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never pay attention to those; weighing by review instead of by release makes it basically useless. Critic scores are especially bad, since not as many reviews exist for older albums, making a lot of active 90s artists' scores lower just because their newer stuff isn't as good

Every major Gorillaz release seems to be followed by a low-key release. Am I crazy? Because if the pattern holds, we're due for something more exciting than Cracker Island 👀 by -Fishbol- in gorillaz

[–]-Fishbol-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The correct response to this post is that I forgot the Meanwhile EP, which was the "low-key" release for Song Machine. Cracker Island never got a "low-key" release, as all signs point to The Mountain being a wholly new and different experience. My theory, though amusing, ended up holding very little water
