Flatscan posted:That was because RTD was under a lot of pressure with Children of Earth, as the BBC really didn't want to make a third series. Rather than sitting back and basking in the adulation, he actually had to put his nose to the grindstone. Looks like the US network has given him free-rein and he's gone back to making poo poo. This isn't quite right. RTD had very little to do with the early years of Torchwood, and his scripts for CoE were last minute rush jobs.

At least he said "Robb Stark", unlike Zorba who just said "That guy who plays Robb" which was completely unintelligible even though I've seen a couple of episodes of A Game of Thrones. Then again he not only doesn't like Babylon 5 but also acts with astonishment when people say they like it so who knows what's going on

Mainly that comment was because I missed the whole B5/Farscape discussion and so didn't get the chance to laugh at you dismissing the best heavily serialised television programme* as a pile of poo poo or whatever that Spaced quote is. *The Wire is fantastic but I would never have been able to watch it an episode a week as I would not have any clue of what was going on.

Paperhouse posted:is his standup even any good? He's always bandied about along with Stewart Lee because they used to be a double act but I've always assumed that he was nowhere near as good as Lee these days. Certainly he hasn't got close to the acclaim that Stewart Lee has so I've always thought of him as the shitter half that didn't go on to do much Lee is a lot more artful, he's the kind of comic that the Guardian goes mad for ala their love for The Wire. Herring can be and is very funny, but he's a bit... odd. In the head. He also looks exactly like my housemate's younger brother, who looks like someone stuck a rubbish mustache on a fat 12 year old.

Strom Cuzewon posted:I've just been watching The Code with Marcus du Sautoy. I'm not a mathmatician, but he's completely full of poo poo. Cicadas have prime-number lifecycles, imaginary numbers make radar works. Maths is built into nature because music, this thing we made, has nice ratios! Clearly. Lots of creatures have prime number life cycles because if there are predators that have similar life cycles then prime numbers will give you the best chance of surviving for a long time (because the smallest common multiple of a number and a prime that is not a factor of that number is the two multiplied together) whereas something like 12 year life cycles will meet up with the predators frequently if the predators have 2, 3, 4 or 6 year life cycles. Imaginary numbers are used in loving everything in physics and are vital to our understanding of quantum mechanics, electromagnetism and electronics, optics, relativity, condensed matter physics and anything else that ever involves waves (which, due to quantum field theory and classical field theory, is when you get down to it literally all of reality).

I turned it on after it started, think the score was like 45-65 but the mathsy bonus questions I saw were about theorems and conjecture, and one was about diophantine polynomials.

Trin Tragula posted:I got horribly turned off by Stewart Lee when I saw that ridiculous bit where he talks about Del Boy falling through the bar. Anything can be unfunny and banal if you talk about it in a stupid voice and only use words from Dick & Jane. It's a funny bit in the episode but it's just a piece of, well done, simple slapstick. It's just a man falling over.

The problem with the Charlie Brooker's programme was that the only times that there was any actual regular analysis of anything was Barry Shitpeas's bits, plus that Curtis short. Newswipe was a lot better than this, because that would actually try to engage with the issues rather than just throwing the easiest narrative at the events (eg. rioters and looting). And somehow I accidentally highlighted a section of that and erased it, leaving me with just the enigmatic message "Newswipe wooting".
