I'm going to go out on a limb and say that humans are genetically more moral than a species genetically engineered to be psychotic omnicidal fascists who feel only hate, yes. Humans start out as pretty much a blank slate to be shaped, even Diagoras more than likely became who he was as a result of his circumstances. He had an underlying capacity for empathy and love and curiosity and all these other things even if they were suppressed by his upbringing, those things were surgically removed from the Dalek genome long ago. And Diagoras-Sec wasn't immediately a force for good. Hhis first thoughts were about how good humans are at waging war and destroying things. It was that incorporating a human opened his mind to ideas and feelings that weren't previously allowed to him. The Doctor was able to begin getting through to him in the short time he had.

Well also there's RTD saying things likequote:I kind of know that the Doctor’s reached the status of like Robin Hood. Sometimes there might be a pause, and during that pause, the viewers of Newsround now will grow up a few years and start writing stories and they’ll bring it back. So I have absolute faith that that will survive because I am living proof of it and that’s what happens to good ideas. No good idea ever dies.

Alternatively, it's also a very Pratchett idea. Quite a few Discworld stories have the premise of 'a story leaks into the Disc and the inhabitants have to fight it off'.

Thinking about it, I don't think I liked the ending. It reminded me a bit of that one Joseph Lidster-written story where the ending is the monster coming back and going "jokes on you I was only pretending to be dead, and now the Doctor has left and he's never going to come back and save you, muahahahahaaaa"

It seems like the TARDIS might be picking out appropriate outfits for them now. Doesn't sound too far fetched that it could do that, just take a quick sample of the local environment to see what looks would fit and dig out whatever clothes it has that match. Or make new ones. Fits perfectly into its suite of abilities designed for covert observers, alongside the translation and the chameleon circuit.

You could say it can't translate language in motion, or that it doesn't translate from one form to another. It doesn't give subtitles to alien speech, doesn't read out alien text audibly. And it can't inform you about things that you don't understand even in your own language. We can confidently say they're not 'actually' using ASL or whatever real sign language I assume they're doing on screen, so maybe the TARDIS is translating the alien signing into Belinda's nearest equivalent and not knowing that equivalent is on her.

2house2fly posted:Man Midnight is so good. Had to rewatch it. Tennant's face while the thing is possessing him is magic. That last speech from Sky, in the chaos when they're trying to throw him out, a lot of it sounds like things he'd say. He has some tiny amount of control left, he's able to hook his foot around a chair. I think he is able to get it to say the things he needs it to, first trying to reason with the people by making it tell them what it's doing, then the last second hail Mary.

Maybe the entity deliberately went out of its way to make the scanner say 4 to taunt the people left behind, and they just didn't notice.

They could have indicated the bomb being disarmed in any other way than a giant zoom in on the word ABORTED is the thing. Big powering down noise. A computer voice. A character saying "it's stopped". Anything. It's such an egregious shot that you automatically reach to try and make it mean something.

If it is saying something about abortion, the only thing it can be saying is "health of the mother doesn't count, women don't die in childbirth"

"It's getting heavier because it's an egg" is as stupid a line to hang the big reveal of your episode on as "it's falling upwards because it's made of lead". Motherfucker we KNOW those things don't do that. Actual children should, if they have any brains, be shouting that at the TV. It completely torpedos the episode cause from that point on anyone could just say anything, there's absolutely no obligation for it to make any sense at all. And one additional word to make it a sci-fi concept would fix it. Call it a tekron egg or a dimensional egg or just a loving space egg, anything more than "it's an egg, so it's getting heavier, like eggs do".

E: Post I was replying to edited the bit I was replying to out. They explained that in the episode. Someone, presumably the Corporation, salvaged the debris from the shattered Earth and scooped up as much of human culture as they could find. There's plenty of Graham Norton's image around to pull a hologram of him together from.

Ohh, I have seen Rylan before. He was on the first Taskmaster new year special, along with Nicola Coughlan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqo4AwoKK0c Other than that he seems to mostly be famous for being consistently associated with reality television.
