The first half of Problem Sleuth is OK. It was good enough that I gave Homestuck six months to stop sucking.

thexerox123 posted:I haven't rewatched those episodes in recent memory because I don't hate myself... was the farting actually integral to the plot in a way that it wouldn't be able to be omitted/edited around? Yes. Harriet Jones pointed out that the smell of it wasn't like farts, it was the smell of bad breath, the Doctor deduced that it was calcium decay so therefore the Slitheen were largely calcium, therefore vinegar would make them explode.

Toxxupation posted:quantum particles can only be observed where they are or where they're going, but never both. Liiiiittle niggle but I think that's all subatomic particles, where it gets quantum is with things like photons that could, hypothetically, be anywhere (with varying probability) until you observe them and collapse the waveform. Which, again, makes total sense for how the Angels work. Blink, and for that split second there's an 80% chance they're COMING OH GOD

For what it's worth, I've never got the impression that the Joker and Batman were in any way similar. It's something that gets said a lot for dramatic effect but it's never really been backed up. Mr Saxon didn't just show up that one time, actually! There's been 'Vote Saxon' posters around in a few of the episodes on Earth, and Mr Saxon was the guy who gave the order to shoot down the Racnoss in The Runaway Bride. It even goes back to a newspaper headline in Love and Monsters. It's easy to miss, but spotting this poo poo was what nerds did for fun back then. And yes, everyone in Britain (the target audience, let's be fair) knew who the Master was. In that respect it's a lot better than, say, the Khan reveal in Star Trek Into Darkness (target audience: people who hadn't seen, for instance, Star Trek 2).

I like it too. It's a nice subtle way of saying 'no matter how far off we are, humans are always humans'. And after all, let's not kid ourselves, the alternative is stilted, rubbish future-dialogue.

Republican Vampire posted:Nolan's a lot like Moffat. He seems really clever and cool until you realize how limited and repetitive he is. I agree with this entirely. Every single line of dialogue in TDK felt like it was supposed to turn into an internet meme or be used in the trailer. Every. Single. One.

Tempo 119 posted:The Titanic was supposed to wipe out the entire planet. RTD set his stakes so ludicrously high that they were prohibitive to an episode where, explicitly, anything can happen and nothing matters, so he had to back off. They all died though. The Doctor at least convinced Ratigan to throw himself under the bus instead.

Surprised that you didn't touch on The Shadow Proclamation ultimately being just a big empty room with a woman and two rhinos in it. The concept art for that scene has pretty much every alien in the revival up to that point milling around, but they just couldn't get the money to work. Such a disappointing moment.

According to Wikipedia, this episode broke Doctor Who's record on the Appreciation Index at 91, the previous high of 89 being held by Doomsday, Silence in the Library, Forest of the Dead... ...and Parting of the Ways.

It was indirect, but taking in the power of the Time Vortex with no idea how that was gonna get worked out, just kind of assuming the Doctor would know what to do... which turned out to be sacrificing his own life. Oops.

The individual episodes were much shorter back then, though. And it's not just a question of writing, special effects were expensive and with the serials you could get four - or even six - weeks of television on one TARDIS materialisation, one set of costumes, one collection of sets then one TARDIS dematerialisation at the end. Plus the stories could be longer and more elaborate. They could be, and often were, overly-padded rubbish with laughable cliffhangers, but some were really good.

Personally I thought Robots of Death was kinda disappointing, had so much promise of being an Asimov-esque tale of the robot slaves throwing off their chains by using logic to get around their laws, then turned out to just be their creator secretly sticking an ice pick in their heads. Big let-down and I'm a little surprised to see it on the top ten list.

howe_sam posted:If you're some kind of soulless monster who absolutely has to criticize things then you could maybe say having Smith walking out from that projection of all the Doctors is a little too on the nose, and unnecessary to proving he is the Doctor, because he's done that the entire episode. However, since seeing Smith stand there fully-formed with that drat bow tie(*) is a great scene and anyone who doesn't like it can feel free to hit themselves with a brick.
