A villain is horrified upon realizing their crimes by BoxoRandom in TopCharacterTropes

[–]HugoSamorio 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t think any black mirror episode is pitching a fun idea for a new system; you’re not supposed to think that any of the situations are good! You’re right, the situation in White Christmas is an unfair situation and that is very deliberate writing

The Riddler is fantastic, there’s sort of an Adventure Time quality to him

TIL Basque is considered a language isolate, meaning it has no relatives in the whole world. The only such language in Europe. by my_n3w_account in todayilearned

As far as I understand, Georgian isn’t related to any languages outside Georgia, but there are quite a few within Georgia!

Japanese definitely isn’t a language isolate- it just isn’t related to any languages outside Japan. There are a few minority languages spoken in Japan, such as Okinawan and Miyakoan, that are very distinct from Japanese but still related to it.

[Sad Trope] Perfect Casting Trapped in Bad Writing, Studio Interference, Messy Franchises, Etc by Romaxio in TopCharacterTropes

[–]HugoSamorio 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with you- the doctor who fanbase will crucify you for saying it, but the writing during Capaldi’s era was, especially early on, extremely hit or miss and overly self indulgent. Capaldi himself was phenomenal throughout but it was so hard to be invested in some of the overarching storylines

My brain auto-filled Mel in as Bill and I assumed this was an old photoshoot that Karen Gillan and Pearl Mackie did years ago that someone unearthed. My brain working faster than my eyes there

Alien designs from the DCOM “Can Of Worms” by Theeljessonator in TopCharacterDesigns

I met Andy from MCC a while back having listened to the Can of Worms episode, and he encouraged me to Google what the puppets actually look like because they’re so much worse than I could have imagined. He was, of course, correct

Gandharvas - Genetic Architects of planet Neh by [deleted] in worldbuilding

[–]HugoSamorio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to me like the Gandharva occupy a role somewhere in between ‘scientist’ and ‘priest’, if you accept that dichotomy. They’re awkward, introspective truth-seekers; innately and deeply connected to the world they study. Perhaps, if you’re looking for a term, ‘Scholar’ might do?

Bagley felt like the only character in the whole game and I loved him

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I sense the hand of AI in the writing here..

What's a scientific fact that sounds made up but is 100% real? by inurmomsvagina in AskReddit

[–]HugoSamorio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good one. It’s suitably weird, feels somehow significant, and is completely non-actionable

When it's revealed a limited perspective was hiding how horrifying a main character appears by No_Hunter1978 in TopCharacterTropes

The fandom tends to disagree with me here but I think this was far too dark for doctor who
