I would LOVE it if tv writers had a the slightest bit of common sense. A bacteria that has NOT evolved antibiotic resistance is not something you have to find a cure for... its amoxaciline
I dont care about CSI. Thats a show about science that gets the science wrong. Im watching a show where science has no business being in. Yet its there, and they couldn't bother to phone a high school science teacher
@Tritium21 theres a few movies or TV shows that can take time and so theres always something I want thats missing but theres also always something I want in general to watch between them if Im not being specific
I like how this game has multiple paths you have to upgrade. You hire people to get more data which you spend to get more rep which increases your rep which increases your funding which lets you hire more people.
@Aaron - Thanks for sharing. Reminded me of an old sci-fi short story by Robert Heinlein, "All You Zombies", that also explored the idea of a character being descended from himself.
Regarding the mithril + armored kilt question mentioned above - are there explicit rules prohibiting armor stackingin D&D? For example, on p.123 in the 3.5 PHB, rather than wearing a single suit of mail costing 150 gp for +5 Armor/Shield bonus, what about wearing studded leather on top of leather for only 35 gp and the same cumulative +5 Armor bonus?
Makes sense. I see the armor descriptions in the 3.5 PHB do mention that thick padding is worn underneath chain mail and full plate, implying some layering is part of the armor.
Wait here it is on p. 122: "The armor bonus from a suit of armor doesn’t stack with other effects or items that grant an armor bonus, such as the mage armor spell or bracers of armor.." Since I'd rule a suit of armor is an "item", this seems pretty clear.
Missy is obviously River Song. [crosses fingers and hopes he's joking]
@Aaron I once ran a D&D campaign with catfolk who believed their entire species was doing this, as a punishment/atonement for being descended from rakshasa.
For 50yrs, it was just a pair of monstrous arms. Now we finally see what Deinocheirus looked like. Spoiler: WEIRD. http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2014/10/22/deinocheirus-exposed-meet-the-body-behind-the-terrible-hand/
@Smurfton I have acquired Pixel Dungeon. Specifically, I have acquired Shattered Pixel Dungeon.
@BESW Oh god actually this would make a lot of sense. She got rescued on the brink of death, so now she's become bent on doing the same for everyone else.
And then we get some kind of redemption story maybe.
"River, you've forgotten who you are!"
and then because the doctor says what she's doing is wrong, it probably is.
She has probably found a way to add new space to it or something. Or discovered that because it's a quantum fibblum computer it's got unlimited space. Or she puts people into cold storage.
Other theories include that she's the Rani (urrrrgh, please no, making the Rani romantically obsessed with the Doctor is even worse than bringing River Song back), or Future!Clara (though that seems to have been Jossed by the end of the latest episode).
More theories: She's the TARDIS; she's a female regeneration of the Master ("Missy" is short for "Mistress"); she's the Valeyard; she's a Davros head, nothing more than a distraction from the real villain.
If Moffat has any sense of continuity and not dragging the Gallifrey Falls plot out for decades, she'll be directly associated with Gallifrey in some way.
@doppelgreener I think the fundamental underlying flaw with nearly all the possibilities is that Moffat has once again introduced a woman whose primary character trait and relevance to the plot is "I feel strongly about the Doctor."
Whoever she turns out to be, that's not a good place to start.
