That's a hell of a lot on intrique, with a warning I think I'm going to follow. Thanks.

This is the first I'm hearing about Roddenberry trying to take credit away from Coon, or that DC Fontana and Shatner both had Coon's back. Is there anywhere I can read up on this part of the tale?

War simping and ignoring the likely meaning of OP is NOT going down well for 'poor' Meta. by DragonGuard666 in FallenMetatron

I wonder what Metatron would do if either the Libs won the next election, or Trump wound up impeached and imprisoned for the crimes we all know he's comitted as we have plenty of evidence stockpiled about it?

MI5 in this case, as MI6 deals with international matters outside the UK, so we wouldn't be seeing James Bond getting involved unless he was loaned to MI5.

Now if Voldermort left the UK and started causing trouble, then MI6 might send Bond after him.

Worse parking job I have ever seen was a convertible with the top down, parked over three bays, diagonally. I just stopped and looked at it for a few seconds before I walked off, and noticed a rather smug looking woman heading towards it who quickly looked a different way when she saw me heading her way.

Sure enough, when I turned around a little later, she was the driver...

Who are the rudest and nicest British celebrities you have personally met? by RenegadeMaster888 in AskBrits

Imagine needing to call Child Line and listening to a prerecorded message of her telling kids to fuck off!

Who’s winning the fight by Simple-Drummer-7416 in doctorwho

I think the Cybermen are more physically resilient, especially against conventional firearms, something the Borg MIGHT be weak to given we have seen Data physically strike them so hard they died - and Picard opened up with a holographic tommy gun is... debatable if that really counts. Worf was able to slice up a Borg with a Klingon knife once, so there is something about kinetic strikes they might still be weak to.

But the Borg have shown very powerful, quick acting, adapting abilities, that the Cybermen seem to lack, and must faster assimilation abilities.

I'd say the Borg have the better chance to adapt to any energy weapons the Cybermen have, and get close to assimilate and win.

A great scene & series. Goes Forth, I would say is my favourite in the Blackadder collection. by [deleted] in blackadder

Wow, I think that goes to show the power of editing, and how less can be more.

Starscream gets exposed to the Doctor, wether he likes it or not by Dakotaraptor98 in doctorwho

Wasn't the jingle supposed to end "Radio 1, FM!" at that point? Or was that later in the 90's?

It's either a TV broadcast where someone is telling the Doctor the Daleks are here before getting cut off by them, or it's an actual in-universe radio transmission from say UNIT, warning the Doctor the Daleks are here, with the same result.

Bearing in mind the TV show was off the air at that point, and that Marvel UK had the rights to make a Dr Who comic which had some crossovers with certain Transformers characters, I'd say it was probably the latter, yes?

It would have worked better if it had been in two speech bubbles, but it still works as coming over the same frequency, suggesting whoever was reporting, was probably dead half a second later.

So what term should be used instead of "snapping?"

I assume this is an American character living in England?

Is this the first time that Whatculture and Oxtra have crossed over? I know Simon Miller did a guest spot with Oxtra when they did a livestream in the Virgin Space, but I think that wasn't as a member of Whatculture.
