Cleretic posted:I didn't like the swordy-spoony scene, but not because of its ridiculousness. It was just kind of painfully shot, since they had to obscure the fact that a spoon is an awkward as poo poo weapon to be dueling with and the fact that they couldn't actually shoot the duel in a realistic way (partly because of probable lack of training, partly because, again, spoon). The duel with the Sheriff was just fine if a little shaky, but the one with the Doctor didn't really work. Well, the Doctor did say he learned from Errol Flynn, who specialized in staged duels that looked cool but wouldn't work in real life. But yeah, the main thing is that Robin was just screwing around, not fighting to the death.

LividLiquid posted:He assumed I didn't know what confirmation bias was, and mansplained it to me, which is condescending.  He literally just said what the term is, and since you described the phenomenon clumsily instead of saying "confirmation bias", it wasn't an unreasonable assumption to think you didn't know the term.

Oh, and for any Big Finish peeps who ordered the big BF Who anniversary crossover, they first moved it up to the end of this week... then just released the freakin' thing today. So if you ordered direct from them, the download should be in your account right now. I've downloaded it, but not listened, because I'm mainlining an X-Men podcast right now.

If some avatar fairy would grant me a few avatar certs, then I would change mine to Tom Baker and instead of regenerating into Five immediately, over the next few weeks, I would just find pictures where he looks progressively drunker and zoom in closer on his face each time that I have to re-buy an avatar. Maybe for the last one, I'll just put Tom himself in the clown car and see if they let me keep it.

If you made a wiki I might chip in on on the things I have knowledge of after seeing your guidelines, when I have time. I prefer to have no administrative responsibility or commitment and will be part of absolutely no drama when people start disagreeing on how to do things, though. e: I'm so generous.

But see if the likeliest thing happens, which is that it explodes into factions and intense arguments and bad design mock-ups before it even hits the ground, it has the potential to be the funniest thing since the Zybourne Clock and if not, it virtually has to be better than the TARDISpedia or whatever. e: MrL_JaKiri posted:Imagine four Doctor Who continuities on the edge of a cliff This basically, except with pictures of Doctor What's coat and angry jibes edited into every Moffat entry by PriorMarcus

And through the Wiki, I shall have that power!
