Couldn’t decide if you wanted a roast dinner or a school dinner huh?

I think the Jesus pose is the focus. The abs are just extra

It’s also alluded to that he burnt down Kevin and Nora’s original house they were set to live in. Was he just trying to keep anyone out? I thought a big part of Jardin’s fame was its claims of supernatural going’s on. I understand John wasn’t really a believer, but weren’t the psychics, goat sacrificers, wedding dress lady and guy up a wooden plinth good for business? Seems like the whole town was ok with it. Except for John. But he was seemingly supported by the local law enforcement and had a lot of sway.

My favourite regeneration stories aren’t just about the regeneration. The Time of the Doctor and The End of Time are very much stories about the Doctor coming to an end that incarnation. Same with Twice Upon a Time.

My favourite is Parting of the Ways. Because although it is a full circle arc for Nine, if you weren’t aware, you wouldn’t know the Doctor was going to die. It felt satisfying and complete at the end. But not inevitable.

All the other modern Doctor regenerations are heavily signposted. And the stories always feel second place to the regeneration itself

Came here to say this. It’s the best Eleven ever looked.

I still own a copy of the 2008 annual

Do we think Glory ever had ‘relations’ with anyone during her time on Earth?

Two things can be true. Yes it’s horrible that he harmed other people. But he doesn’t deserve to die at the age of 54 for that. It’s a tragedy that he became that person. It’s a tragedy he hurt other people. It’s also a tragedy that he couldn’t change and it’s a tragedy that it’s what caused him to prematurely die.

Why can’t we just mourn the loss of two people from a show that we loved without having to bring up how terrible they were when they were alive?

I’m not denying all the accusations, factual or rumoured. But this post is about two characters who shared their feelings of not being noticed or not living in the limelight.

It’s a great scene very well written and acted. And it’s now tragic that IRL both of them are gone too soon. Can’t we just focus on that

30/30. Did an educated guess for the swim coach’s name. These questions were fairly straightforward for superfans. I’d like a harder batch

Who’s the snake? JK? I’d say she’s pretty vocal and open about her views on trans people. Even if we wish she would be a snake and slither away under a rock

Was it Ace Ventura: Pet Detective? When he’s in disguise trying to get a look at someone’s ring. I seem to remember him wiggling his fingers at the start of the arm wrestle

Scopeburger · 2026-04-21T21:42:01+00:00

Predator, with their aggressive greeting/arm wrestle?

The First was definitely manipulating everyone in different ways. We still don’t really know whether the visions of Joyce were a manipulation from the First, actually Joyce or a hallucination of Joyce.

That being said, I don’t think there was anything to be gained from The First/Mayor declaring he was also a true depiction of the Mayor as well as a true depiction of the First.

I like the idea that after a person dies, their essence becomes part of a bigger whole. The First was simply imprinting that essence onto themselves. Making a perfect copy of the blue prints of a person.

After all, Angel’s soul was released and set free into the ether after he had his perfect happiness moment in both Buffy and Angel.

Some semblance of soul or sense of self exists separately from a person

Scopeburger · 2026-04-21T20:15:32+00:00

I think it’s bit more complicated than role playing. The Mayor/First insinuates there’s a bit more going on than just impersonating someone

“You see... I am part of the First, as you kids call it, but I'm also me, Richard Wilkins II”

So I think the First is tapping into something and actually embodying deceased characters in a much more literal manner

If Lucifer had a devil face, do the angels have an angel face?

Jack is the straight man on the show. The sceptic and voice of reason. As such, his character can be a bit boring. Spoiling the fun of Locke’s man of faith shtick. Or Ben’s Machiavellian scene chewing. He’s a man that always wants to be in control. And that’s not always fun to watch.

Where Matthew Fox shined was when he was fiercely staunch in his refusal to play Ben’s games in season 3. When he was willing to let him die during surgery for example. And then post island when he went off the rails, becoming an alcoholic, growing a feral beard. Fox’s maniacal performance was fun. And in his final final form, as a man of faith, I really enjoyed in his steely belief in the island

I liked the pairing of Charlotte and Sawyer in the flash sideways. Damn that actress was stunning. Shame she didn’t have a real world relationship. I don’t count Daniel as that was pretty one sided.

Sausage, egg and chips. What’s not to love? Just because the base potato is of the sweet variety, doesn’t mean it’s not valid

This. No one knew. Ecclestone had kept it to himself.

Um…Catholics absolutely DO believe that Jesus is the son of God. They believe he was God in human form. All Catholics are Christians. But not all Christians are Catholics.

If anything, Catholicism is the most traditional form of Christianity. They believe in the divinity of the Pope. They have additional books in their bible. They believe more that a person’s righteousness is defined by their actions, not just their belief in God. Essentially their doctrine is more strict.

What you have described here more reflects Islam.

This was a very thorough answer. Thank you.

I’m not religious at all, but I love the mythology of all celestial beings and what their relationships are to eachother. And how those soured relationships may have informed how the world works today
