You think a couple of favorable comments absolves you of your nitpicky criticism? It's a fricking campy sci if show. You're complaining about the size of a dinosaur WHEN THE WHOLE SHOW IS ABOUT A TIME TRAVELING ALIEN. You must think the Slitheen were too big for their species, too, right? If you don't like the show and want to criticize every week, keep your shite to yourself.

I tell people the exact same thing in the BB thread. It's annoying.

No. I appreciate your insight though thanks for playing.

Can't wait for episode 2. It is also supposed to be a stinker.

Great addition to the post and thanks for adding to the list of pansy fanwanks.

Threats of violence over the lukewarm reception of a new episode. Nice.

I don't think the show is without flaws.

They did at one point dedicate half a season to the Slitheen, after all.

But you're complaining about shite that has no bearing whatsoever on the plot or development of the characters.

The size of a fricking dinosaur? Really?



ETA - I guess you did address the fact that you think it's dumb that the robots can't fight Vastra and Jenny and Strax. And that you thought holding your breath was a dumb counter move. At least those are legitimate story complaints.

Their inability to handle Vastra, Jenny and Strax has already been addressed, though. They're all three trained fighters. These robots are used to taking down halpless London citizens.

And that's your entitled opinion on the breathing thing. I thought it was clever. The robots have survived to this point because humanity as a whole is dumb and couldn't sniff them out. That's why the Doctor exists in this universe. Because humanity is a bunch of pudding heads. But, the Doctor found their weakness and exploited it.

There isn't even an illogical reason for the T-Rex to time travel because it swallowed the Tardis.

Did you study double negatives at the Vulcan Academy?
quote:

Not to mention that a T-Rex wasn't that big. Not even close to that big. Hell triple the size of a T-Rex and the who version could still swallow it whole. Big Ben is 316 feet tall. Maybe some industrial waste spilled on the T-Rex through a temporal inversion caused it to become Godzilla.

Don't care. Made a good scene.
quote:

The stupid coppper actually thinks the Tardis is an egg even though it has writing on it? The snappy comeback line from Lizard Lady Sherlock doesn't negate how stupid the copper would have to be to think that was an egg.

There are stupid people everywhere. This could easily happen.
quote:

Pretty nice of the T-Rex to just sit there doing nothing. No rampage. Didn't eat anyone.

Well last time she tried she ate a TARDIS and got transported to London, so she may be a little unsure of herself. The Doctor seemed to think so.

Can we agree the new theme sucks? I've always liked the theme and never disliked the changes but that honest to god sounds like a group of banshees humming the theme.

Yes, the music at least is terrible.
quote:

So are we to believe that little blowtorch caused the Godzilla sized T-Rex to be incinerated. Also, given that the showed the T-Rex go from being fine to total ash, when did they take the time to get the optic nerve that they burned into uselessness?

We didn't see how he did it.
quote:

So now the Sontaran is an idiot too. He thinks clothes are coats and hair is a hat. They have taken a cool enemy and converted him into a punchline.

He's always been this way.
quote:

Dear lord! Make it stop. The whole rescue from Robot land was horrible. They were able to kill humans and replace parts for millions of years but they can't stop a lesbian lizard with her court jester.

Others have addressed this. They have survived by stealth and surprise, not as an army. And this trio has fought through plenty of monsters over the years.
quote:

Ok. I just googled lesbian lizard and there is actual artwork I could post here if I didn't mind the ban. Oh the humanity! You guys are whining about Big Brother on the tv while out there, several people have created artwork for lesbian lizard. Kudos to the BBC. Historical day! They first lesbian lizard kiss. What a great day for England therefore the world. Hold your breath! That is almost of the same level of stupidity as House Party.

Not sure what most of this means.
quote:

Positives - Clara looks good. Screwdriver wasn't a deus ex machina device. Somewhat creepy villains.

Agree.
quote:

Unknowns - Capaldi. Hard to know what his true personality will be like in the first few episodes after regeneration. Davison was manic for a bit and Colin Baker. They both settled down.

Agree we have barely seen the true form of capaldi but think he knocked this out of the park. Great Matt smithish vibe early on, evolving into glimpses of a doctor that stole the show towards the end.

And perhaps you should realize that some of my nitpicks are tongue and cheek points.

Most people should figure out that my lebian lizard comments were meant to be funny. Thus following it up with my mention of the lesbian lizard subculture already existing.

I'm not the one who made any political statement about said lesbian lizard.

also, I was making a bit of a point in this thread. A bit of an experiment and it worked perfectly.

In another thread,someone lamented why we never have decent discussion on this board and you guys proved why. Any criticism is met with threats of violence and insults.

And I am not sorry in the least that I prefer a well written show. Being sci-fi doesn't mean it can be crap. A T-Rex the size of Big Ben is crap.

bullshite. You were nitpicking. Of course that's not going to lead to decent discussion because it's off on the wrong foot to begin with.


As not being able to have discussion - see my edited post. Your other criticisms are addressed and rebutted.

And BS to you. I specifically said in a thread yesterday that people behave the exact way you did when people criticize a show.

You don't mind shitty writing in sci-fi whereas I do.

So the fact that I actually responded to your "criticisms" is being ignored now?

I posted a picture and you twice complained about uncivil discourse and death threats. Meanwhile, you haven't addressed most of the rebuttals to your original post. I'll chalk this up to a stupid message board misunderstanding because I'm not in the least upset.

This. He started a thread in a combative tone and then when that brings combative responses he somehow thinks that proves something about his "social experiment".

Then he completely ignores the responses that are actually discussing his original points.

What is there to respond to? I think the Rex being as big as Big Ben is bad writing. You like it.

I think the stupid copper thinking a blue box with writing on it is an egg is bad writing. You like it.

I think a Sontaran acting like he has a severe brain injury is bad writing. You like it. Doesn't help that he is actually wearing human clothes and works for people who wear clothes.

I think people surrounded by robots wielding swords but nobody actually sword fighting is bad choreography. You like it.

I think it is bad writing to have the robots commit suicide after surviving for millions of years. You liked it.

So you admit you weren't actually looking for discussion but just trolling for combative responses?

Got it.

Did I miss where they said this? I thought it was left as ambiguous.
