Sometimes there's nothing wrong with enjoying your favourite comic book characters on screen, like watching a live action cartoon. Comics don't make sense all the time, or cartoons, comic book movies don't have to either.

If that's not for you, than to each their own.

I'll also say I haven't enjoyed many DC / Marvel movies for awhile but not because they don't follow their rules. That's their secret... They have no rules.

Okay I may be wrong there but I don't know offhand one rule a comic story hasn't broken at a new point. I also don't read a ton of them but I know they change their mind a whole lot. Also physics goes out the window when you take into account many comic characters. Sure ant man said this, who says ant man was correct?

The big finish stories gave me much more appreciation for 5 / 6 / 7, they all have such great adventures and once they find their groove are very well produced. I only add that last bit after listening to the very first handful of stories, they needed a bit of time to get things great.

Of course 8 we hardly saw, and the movie was meh but I think I enjoy his stories almost the most. I'm a bit of a 7 fan for the audio, maybe cause I always thought Ace was a fun companion but the rolling Rs are fun to listen to heh. Though I haven't listened to much passed their 100 so need to get more.

Apologies to not naming the actors I am terrible at remembering spelling and didn't want to embarrass myself with the time constraints.

I'll admit, I found first three doctors more rough to watch and only watched a handful of 1-3, more 3 than 1 and 2 for sure. Does make me curious on those episodes though, I do enjoy seeing first and early appearances of major characters/species in series when they're still being fleshed out.

I'd hazard a guess he always uses the royal we, I haven't analyzed it in depth but he really can't think outside himself. No imagination what so ever,all his attacks are just whatever he does or thought of (well maybe some aides helped). I imagine if I knew more about narcissism it'd tie in there but I have zero studying to comment on that.

If he wasn't such an asshole with zero self awareness, it'd be enough to pity him, but he is so fuck Trump.

For more evidence of the royal we just look at when he was president and insert Trump anytime he says the United States. Not directed at who I replied to but to other readers.

Huh I thought the one story they did was the origin story, since it has the appearance of the first Cybermen (well they had a few around already) and Mondas had some people still. I forget the name but I think it's #5 and Nyssa, this sounds like it may be a bit before that but also sounds like the doctor may trip over himself if it's not much earlier.

Resorted to crimes make it sounds like he even takes that into account when deciding what to do. He just does whatever he wants, which as far as I can tell is commit crimes because it's makes more money than being honest.

I see what you're saying, when you said put it out of your mind it more sounded like forget about it, which isn't helpful when people see a problem, but you have to know what you can reasonably impact. There is usually more that can be done but time and money are limited. Many people don't have the time to campaign for ideas which in itself is an issue with the way things are run in my opinion.

Depends on the reaching of the action, even if the event was out of their control but going to impact them, say an invasion or war breaking out at their location it'd be warranted. However in a general sense I agree, it causes undue stress if there's nothing directly they can change.

People thinking like that is how we get some people fighting for rights, the current fight may not directly impact them but they can see how it'll impact things in the near future when more rights are changed. I mostly agree with not adding undue stress but sometimes it can be difficult to know when it's undue or warranted because it can happen quickly once the ball starts rolling.

Makes me think of the novel cryptonomicon where the guy had to encrypt and decrypt every message on his finex (may be misremembering that one) laptop.

For those that aren't familiar it's from the late 90s so tech is dated but a pretty fun novel that deals with cryptography, by Neal Stephenson, long but enjoyable.

Pretty much what I was thinking, as long as they had some infrastructure to produce if it's needed it could be ramped up, if not then it's probably mid range formula that's available but rarely noticed. Better to have it and not need it afterall. Every country should make sure their most vulnerable have their needs met and few things more important than food to an infant.

Talk about an awkward conversation with the fiancee, or a short time before it's called off. Unless their partner is as scummy as the candidate, I see a big future in the GOP for them, assuming they get that seat. Party of family values for sure heh. Nothing like showing lies to show how highly you consider those values.

At first glance I thought it was a crown corporation and thought it was a good idea.
