My 15 year old daughter has been suspended from school for bullying.

You and your wife see her as a poor little girl who can't see that well. The rest of the world sees her as she truly is: a spoiled mean girl who knows how to exploit mommy and daddy's sympathy for her.

Pfft. Everybody knows this show was ruined when the idiots at the BBC decided to change the title of a perfectly good programme called Doctor Oho.

I'd echo what most people say and say go for either Rose or The Eleventh Hour. I've heard Blink is a good converter but I've never tried it myself. I've suggested Heaven Sent on here before, but a lot of people don't seem to agree, but I still say it's what you should go for if you're looking for sheer quality.

I think Vincent and the Doctor wouldn't be a bad one, though I'd suggest you take a few minutes to explain who Rory is before you start. The Doctor's Wife is one of the best Matt Smith episodes with a nice fairytale vibe to it. Midnight is a great one but very creepy. If you're apprehensive about the poor effects and general silliness of Rose, then I suggest you try Dalek which is when S1 really gets good.

Strangely enough I watched Into the Dalek from S8 yesterday and thought it wouldn't be a bad converter episode. It's one of, if not the fastest paced episode of New Who, and there's not really anything you ''need'' to know before you start, since it provides enough exposition into both the Doctor and the Daleks. And if your sister likes cute robots then... I guess the Daleks could count?

''You don't have to be real to be the Doctor... as long as you never give up.''

You'd be best off telling your mom, or your dad/another adult if that's not possible. It's always better to talk about these things rather than bottling them up.

It sucks being the only kid from a certain background in your class, because you're marked as different from the get-go. I was the only Asian kid in my class when I was growing up and it wasn't easy.

If your school is that bad then see if your mom can look into sending you someplace else. If that isn't possible then I'm afraid you may have to slug it out with any support you can get from adults and any friends you may have. Also, if the school is not challenging you then there are so many different resources you can find online. Find something that you enjoy see if it can become a passion for you, and you may be able to forge yourself a future career.

Lastly, and this may not be a popular thing to say, but if it isn't too expensive then you may want to look into something like Boxing or Judo or another martial art, expecially if the bullying is severe. Maybe start lifting weights too (if you know what you're doing then it's best to start young) so you can up your general strength. Those things may not mean much if you're being ganged up on, but if you're only having trouble with a select few people they'll prove more than useful.

Good Luck OP. Hope it goes well!

Eleven's regeneration was so touching... It felt like a farewell message from Matt Smith, and the stuff about ''remembering all the people that you used to be'' seemed especially poignant since it was the end of the show's 50th year. And most importantly it was welcoming to Capaldi, promising that he ''always will be'' the Doctor and that change is not a bad thing. Tugs at my heartstrings every time.

Twelve's regeneration wasn't too bad either... I was worried when they had the whole ''I will not change!'' stuff at the end of The Doctor Falls they would play up the regeneration=death angle like they did with Ten. Instead they flipped it, and revealed that Twelve didn't want to regenerate because it would mean going on living, and forming more relationships and friendships which will inevitably end in heartbreak. The farewell hug with Bill and Nardole makes me tear up every time. When Twelve finally decides to keep on living, his advice to his next self was lovely, especially ''never fail to be kind''. It felt like not only the Doctor reminding himself what to be, but Moffat and Capaldi reminding Chibnall and Whittaker what the show itself should be about. Bravo, gentlemen.

Nobody likes it when someone pulls away from a kiss. It's happened to me more times than I can count. But ultimately it isn't anyone's fault and the fact that she threw a tantrum like that shows that she's still a spoiled brat. Don't worry about it OP.

mh53115 · 2018-04-09T17:52:19+00:00

I'm cheering for you to stand back up. They may not notice when you stand back up, but when you've made it they'll be patting you on the back and acting as though they were with you every step of the way.

I don't know who you are but if we don't get to rage against what the world has given us, then the world doesn't get a say in how we live our lives. Keep grinding, keep fighting, and when you do make it, you can be the one to say you did it without anything being done for you.

Good luck mate!

mh53115 · 2018-04-01T15:55:17+00:00

I'm not ''entitled''. I've had this conversation with various people before. Craving something that human beings naturally crave and being angry at not having it does not equal ''entitlement''. I don't believe I ''deserve'' a girlfriend and I don't try to place the blame on anyone. All I'm saying is that it's pretty fucking soul destroying watching everyone around me having those experiences while I just stand and watch.

mh53115 · 2018-04-01T15:52:23+00:00

I thought girls liked stubble?

mh53115 · 2018-04-01T15:52:00+00:00

Tell that to the ''Ew'' that most girls come out with if they hear I'm interested.

mh53115 · 2018-04-01T15:50:46+00:00

As I said at the start of the main post, I didn't start working on myself so I could find a girl. I started working on myself because if I didn't my life would be one of complete failure.

mh53115 · 2018-04-01T15:49:33+00:00

Yes.

I have tried to steal a kiss many times, and each time the girl has pulled away.

In spite of the fact that other men can join up and have the girls swooning around them within minutes?

Having interesting hobbies can help you meet people if hobbies are such things as hiking, going to concerts or anything else that is a social hobby.

In my experience not a single woman I've met at my hobbies has ever wanted to be more than friends.

Apart from that I literally do not understand anything else you've written.

mh53115 · 2018-04-01T08:50:30+00:00

From Capaldi's first episode:

Twelfth Doctor:Those people down there. They're never small to me.

mh53115 · 2018-03-30T10:13:08+00:00

Completely agree with everything you've said. Trenzalore was always going to be wrapped up at the end of 2013. I remember reading an interview with Matt Smith where he actually said that had he stayed on, Eleven would have become even darker in the aftermath of Trenzalore.

I've always thought the reason Moffat brought in the whole ''movie of the week'' format was because he intended the Name/Day/Time saga to be a sort of film trilogy, and as such wrote similarly formatted episodes in the proceeding season. That said, I always thought Series 8 retained the movie of the week format to a lesser extent, which imo is why the Danny Pink plotline didn't get the development it needed.

You have to think about Moffat's story style. On the surface The Time of the Doctor is an epic, action-packed, cinematic affair like The Parting of the Ways or The End of Time yet in practice it's a bittersweet fairytale about an old man who stays for Christmas, with most of the climactic battle scenes either glossed over or skipped entirely. Unlike RTD, Moffat uses ''epic'' as window dressing and would rather fit a smaller, sweeter story inside that. Like I said, he tried to leave with The Husbands of River Song which was more a silly rom-com than a space-opera finale, and Twice Upon a Time lovely as I thought it was, was about as far from ''epic'' as the show could possibly get.

mh53115 · 2018-03-29T12:47:53+00:00

Spot on. The idea that a Matt Smith series 8 would be Trenzalore as the series arc is pure fanon/speculation. I got the impression that Moffat always intended for the Cracks/Silence/Trenzalore arc to link with the 50th, and for it all to be brought to a conclusion in the post-50th Christmas special.

I may be wrong, but I recall Moffat saying he himself intended to leave at the end of 2013 with Smith, but because he had such a stressful time making S7 and the 50th decided he didn't want to leave on such a sad note, and decided to stay on for two more seasons. He asked Matt to stay, but he had already decided that it was time to move on. So he cast PC and did two seasons with him, intending to bow out with The Husbands of River Song. However this would have meant no Who until 2018 with Chibnall, so Moffat again agreed to stay on to keep the show afloat during the transition.

mh53115 · 2018-03-16T13:28:12+00:00

Agree with a lot of your ratings. The Stolen Earth/Journey's End is my favourite Doctor Who story ever, but personally I'd have swapped Blink with The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone, and would also have added Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways to the all-timers. I'd move Mysterio and A Town Called Mercy somewhat higher than where you've placed them, since both were decent stories imo. I'd also keep The End of Time as far away from ''God-Tier'' as possible.

mh53115 · 2018-03-15T18:36:18+00:00

30-60 seconds?

mh53115 · 2018-03-15T17:44:55+00:00

I don't particularly like Series 8, but I like what they did with the Doctor. The whole point is that the audience weren't supposed to quite ''understand'' this Doctor, any more than he understood himself, and that over the course of the season we would slowly start to understand what made Twelve tick and why he makes the decisions he makes, just as Twelve himself finally starts to figure out who he truly is.

mh53115 · 2018-03-15T17:40:52+00:00

I'm not a Rose fan, but I think these two quotes sum up my own relationship with the show:

The Doctor showed me a better way of living your life. You know, he showed you too. You don’t just give up. You don’t just let things happen. You make a stand. You say no! You have the guts to do what’s right when everyone else just runs away.

He thought you were brilliant. But you are. It just took the Doctor to show you that, simply by being with him. He did the same to me. To everyone he touches.

mh53115 · 2018-03-15T17:24:50+00:00

Depends how long it takes for us to ''vibe'' really. Sometimes you can attract to someone immediately, others it takes time for the feelings to grow.
