  1. Foley in 'defends a girl who will never, ever fuck him' SHOCKER. Expect a chapter in his next book about how him and Eve have really gotten close in the last year and about how amazing a person she is.

     

    I fucking hate Mick Foley now.

     

    Im with you on this.

     

    In his earlier books, his interaction with women came across as playful and innocent. It seems he "realised this" and now approaches the subject with the subtlety of a sledgehammer.

     

    In his latest books he practically comes across as a stalker in regards to Melina. It's REALLY cringy to read esspecially as he thank John Morrison for being a "understanding" guy about it.

     

    Frankly he comes across as a bit creepy now. Glad Im not the only one who saw this.

     

    It's a shame, I was a massive Foley fan. But now I get this really unsettling feeling that his has quite darkside deep down.

  2. <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler

    When the airline pilot has become infected, and it sort of shows that he's spreading it about via his airline trips and so on

     

    [close spoiler]

    ");document.close();

     

    Makes it even clearer how this would work on a grand scale.

     

    HAH! I didn't see that bit of the film and only just seen it now on YouTube thanks to you. It was cut out of my showing when im saw it on a flight between Singapore and Melbourne. Thanks, I was wondering what happen to that loose bit of plot thread!

  3. wii u still relys on motion control as well as the tough pad thing

     

    Plus they have only shown a tech demo (as oppose to actual gameplay) on the wii u. I suspect skyward is not coming out for wii u, but that backwards capability is possible.

  4. The Dictator looks appalling and if it wasn't for Cohen's name being attached to it I would have believed it was made by the same people responsible for the likes of Vampire's Suck.

     

    Only chuckle I got out of the trailer was seeing how far Megan Fox has fallen so fast.

     

    That's what happens when you slag off the transformer's director.

  5. I've always been confused with that rule, but I would of thought that sentence was okay.

    You might not be the best judge have grammar.

     

    You can use "it's" when it regards the ownership of something.

    Nope, you can't.

     

    * Cough *

     

    Edit: Oh I see what you did there. Very clever.

  6. so the Prometheus tyrailer has been leaked and it is certainly very familiar

     

    LINK

     

    quality of it is shocking though

     

    The grammatical quality isn't too hot either.

    I've always been confused with that rule, but I would of thought that sentence was okay.

     

    You can use "it's" when it regards the ownership of something.

     

    E.g. "Sarah's book."

     

    So in this case, "it's" referring to the ownership of a "it".

     

    Not an expert on this, but that's how I understand it to work here.

  7. When i was a kid i dreamt that Stone Cold Steve Austin was a dinner lady at our school.I have issues :(

    I'm just imagining Austin listing what's available for lunch and all the canteen shouting "what?!""we've got burgers. What? Fish fingers. What? Chicken mushroom pie. What? Jacket potato..."Tickled me anyway. :thumbsup:
  8. Thats what Im saying, how has this made him go under the radar? It makes no sense when you stop and think about it and how time travel works. If he wanted to be under the radar then he would be able to do the same without faking his death or needing a set up.

     

    I mean his (fake) death was needed for the story, and going less obvious is fine, but tying them together makes no sense in any logic I can figure.

     

    I have to disagree. I think what happened IS logical and I simply don't get where your coming from. The silence wanted to prevent the "fall of the eleventh", and they believe they've done that by "killing" him at lake silencio.

     

    That's it. As long as the doctor dosen't let on he faked his death, the silence will never know they failed until he reverts into the 12th doctor, and by then it will be too late.

     

    As I mentioned earlier, as far as the silence are concerned they've got him. So if they do bump into him in future adventures, yeah, they're going to try and stop him... They may even try and kill him. But ultimately they going to think "ah fuck him we've already got him at lake silencio." They have NO idea that when they bump into him again that it will be the doctor post-lake.

  9. Well its not fully tied up as the silents will find out he is not dead eventually?

    Not necessarily. If your after a guy and you "know" when, how and where he will die, why pursue him and try to kill him elsewhere? You "know" you've got him and you "know" you've already won.in addition The silence don't know when the doctor dies in his time lime. so every time they meet him, they will presume it's the doctor pre-lake silencio, and thus dont't need to kill him.
  10. Just watch confidential, for the first time, and they had a great section going over river somas story. Really well done and nice to see the song story, especially clips from silence of the library with knowledge of the entire song story.

  11. That was shit

    LolIt wasn't that bad. I certainly enjoyed it and appreciate the series giving us a couple of clever red herrings (the two doctor theories, the ganger theory)' and the fact they've laid a few mysteries for the next season.
  12. I appreciate that there are different types of Cybermen, but how come so many different conversion processes into the same thing essentially?

     

    Easy. When the doctor travels through times he does something (eats a banana, sneezes, punches a koala bear) and inadvertently changes the future. The butterfly effect of the doctor doing something as simple as these things causes a MASSIVE ripple through time and somehow results in the Cybermen coming up with a different way of converting victims.

     

    I mean, duh, its so obvious.

  13. Oh and i'm going to throw this out despite the chances of it not happening:

     

    What if there are two doctors? What if there is a REAL one and a GANGER one, and the REAL doctor dies, whilst the guilt stricken ganger survives and takes his place?

     

    How ballsy would THAT be?

  14. The whole apple/rubik's cube could just be a red herring, thrown in there because people picked up on the whole sleeve thing in the last series. I certainly agree that's it's not a ganger because of the regenerating.

     

    As River can regenerate, maybe she somehow regenerates into the form of The Doctor then shoots herself, not knowing it's a future version of herself, hence she thinks she's shot 'The greatest man she ever knew', but she's actually shot a version of herself from way into the future.

     

    Or something.

     

    We know that Alex Kingston is the LAST version of that character because (a) she sacrificed her regeneration and (b) we've seen her outright die in season 4.

     

    Course that's not to mean we won't see earlier (and evil) versions of her character

  15. That's a pretty selfish sacrifice of a ganger, not in tune with the Doctors feelings as regards gangers. Amy's aside.

     

    Well the Doctor HAS done selfish things in the past. As you say, he melted one before to save Amy.

     

    Its just interesting how in the Impossible Astronaut, the Doctor approached the astronaut quiet calmly, almost as if he fully knew, expect it was coming. Maybe its a remote controlled ganger with the real doctor safely tucked away in the Tardis.

     

     

    Of course he did. Did you not see the last episode? It was all about him knowing he was going to die the following day!

     

    Well yes, and your quite right to pull me up on it. I was more referring to the calmness he handled it with, as if it was all part of a plan.

  16. That's a pretty selfish sacrifice of a ganger, not in tune with the Doctors feelings as regards gangers. Amy's aside.

    Now that I think about it, River HAS to kill the doctor so that she can be arrested for it.

     

    Ah I guess we will find out in just a few short days.

     

    And to answer Brownie, as I understand it, yes a ganger possible could regenerate, but when we saw the Doctor "die", we clearly saw him get shot a second time, thus stopping the regeneration.

  17. Just read this on another forum. A theory about the ending:

     

    Could the Doctor who is killed in TIA be a ganger, killed by the Real Doctor in the astronaught suit, in order to fool the world that he is actually dead.

     

    That way he can spend season 7 in peace having a honeymoon with River, occasionally popping in to Amy and Rory as a visit to the in-laws?

     

    Sounds weird I know but for some strange reason I had this thought in my head when I woke up this morning and have only just remembered it now!

     

    Although I doubt the idea of him "popping in" to see Amy and Rory, and that the ganger thing has already been brought up... I do like the idea that The Doctor could be using this as a massive ploy to fake his own death and disapear for a while. After all if your a time traveler and your enemies "know" the precise time of your death, they arn't coming after you are they? After all why chase a guy whose death you already "know" is a fixed point in time.

     

    Xmas special spoiler: SPOILER - Highlight the black box to read

    In fact considering leaked photos of the Xmas special show the Doctor wearing a space suit... there is certainly some substance to this theory.

     

  18. Can I just say, that I watched this weekend's episode of Doctor Who (probably only the 3rd time I've watched one since the reboot) and it was one of the most awful, cringeworthy pieces of shit I've ever seen? I loved Dr Who when I was a kid, I really did, but the new series are just SO low-rent, it's excruciating.

    You watched Doctor Who when you were a kid... and you think the NEW series is low rent?

     

    I'm calling bullshit on that. Go watch the old series and see people running down the same corridor away from a man in a tinfoil suit. I refuse to believe that you could suspend your disbelief for that but not the far sleeker new series.

     

    That said, whilst your reasons are illogical, your conclusion that this week's episode was fairly low rent isn't far off the mark. This was probably the cheapest-looking episode of Who we've seen since 2005, save for the one where they never left the space bus.

     

    In all fairness to him, the standard of television is MUCH higher now and you can't fairly compare them like that. After all the old doctor who didn't have to compete with the insane high quality of a lot of American tv shows. Oddly enough, HD quality cameras now expose tv shows a lot more also (i.e. cheap models looking cheaper in HD).

     

    I remember thinking how cheap season 7 (or was it 8?) of Red Dwarf was even though "technically" the quality of the sets, the quality of the cameras etc was much better. What I'm saying is that the standard we associate to tv (rightfully) increases as time goes by. Doctor Who "back in the day" might of looked steller compared to other tv shows of the day, but when modern TV shows (like the "new" Doctor Who) starts using CGI and models that are no where near as good as on other shows, it exposes itself as being "low rent".

  19.

I loved Dr Who when I was a kid, I really did, but the new series are just SO low-rent, it's excruciating.

     

    Although I generally disagree with you and think your being a little OTT, I can perfectly understand where your coming from. In fact (IMO) the second half of the season was no where near as good as the first half or even last season, and believe can be attributed to the sometimes "cheap" feel of the show.

     

    Shame really. Mind you regardless of how cheap it can seem sometimes, at least Doctor Who's attention to long term storylines and mystery pisses all other convoluted series such as Lost and The Event (awaits flaming).

  20. Probably most shameful was punching someone in the face cause he danced with a girl who wasn't interested in me. I liked her but she had a boyfriend and was an absolute tease. Funny thing is I don't even fancy her anymore, but the fact I punched someone even blinding drunk was the most cuntish thing I've ever done. He was a sound bloke too, what a dick.

     

    Where was this? Because I had the exact same situation, except I was the dude being punched in the face!!
