  1. I sense a stitch up.

    Although, this would be the perfect excuse to have a Doctor Who Firefly crossover.

    Edit: Seriously though, that list is all kinds of weird. Ianto gets 6, but Kirk and Picard aren't on the top ten?
  2. "Haven't you figured that one out yet?"

    Oh Moff you silly.
  3. The key to getting to the bottom of this will be the stop code the BSOD gives you.
    They'll look like 0x00000000 and various things like that, if you can write them down we can (maybe) get to the root of the problem.
  4. Now I'm wondering what a Mirror's Edge/Spider-Man game would be like!

    Hulk Movies

    Hulk certainly had problems. Far too long a build up. We had all that stuff exploring his childhood at the beginning that wasn't really needed and then even more protracted stuff with him as an adult. The last fight was weak too, but the rest was pretty good in my opinion.
    I'm not sure why people make fun of the gamma dogs, stupider things have shown up in the comics and Hulk dogs seem to be in line with stuff that gets thrown at the Hulk.
    I also really enjoyed Incredible Hulk, it spent far less time messing around and just got straight to the story.
    I felt Hulk seemed stronger (although, not as resilient) more like a force of nature you couldn't stand against, but Incredible Hulk's fight scenes were better and he seemed to be truly angry, not caring if he happened to kill them, unlike Hulk who specifically was shown to go out of his way not to kill.
    My only problem is that Incredible Hulk didn't have that force of nature feel, he was strong but not so much that he couldn't be overcome, he only won because of skill, so to speak, rather than because of pure power.
    Which I can understand for Abomination maybe, since he's meant to be stronger than the Hulk (until the Hulk gets really mad) but against the army it was a little odd and to have it twice in one movie just made the Hulk seem weaker that he should have.

    I don't think we're necessarily talking about modern incarnations of characters.


    Throw in another for Kingpin.
  7. Well, they can and do fluctuate, but I'd say:

    Green Goblin
    The Leader
    Doctor Octopus
    The Mandarin
    Galactus
    Apocalypse
    Venom

    appears to have designed a real-world version of Iron Man’s hand cannon.
    Iron Man's "hand cannons" are "repulsers" they "repulse" things with force, they are nothing like lasers.

    But then along comes Children of Earth, which I take was only five episodes. So...kinda like the Tennant 'specials' but with a story running throughout?

    But what about Miracle Day? Is it a full 'series' or another sequence of 'specials' Children of Earth? I would prefer the former, but the subtitle makes me think it's the latter.
    Anybody know?
    Children of Earth was Series 3, this is Series 4.

    In the UK our Series or Seasons can be any length really.
    The Tennant Specials were Specials because they were longer than regular episodes, spread out over the year and didn't have a "Series" production.
  10. Oh yeah, saw Episode 1 on Thursday, I liked it a lot.

    Saruman Trolling

    That's a great video, well done.
  12. Holy crap guys, the actor they got to play Sherlock has the wrong nose!

    Really?

    *shakes head*
  13. Too serious? I dunno. It can be pretty frustrating, after all, a lot of time was spent and no one got the reward they wanted.
    It might be a game, but time is time.

    It doesn't sound like anyone was particularly jerkish about it though, just very frustrated.

    Don't dwell on it too much, these things happen.

  16. Ultimate Spider-Man is about the only thing worth saving in the Ultimate line anyway. Well, and Samuel L. Jackson Nick Fury.

    I believe so.
    Rumour has it Nolan will stay on as a producer, but not write or direct. No word of whether the following stories will be sequels or yet another reboot.

    Well, I dunno. In the Nolenverse, aside from that blip with the Joker, aren't conditions actually meant to be getting better?
    Crime's actually gone back underground for instance rather than being all pervasive.
  19. The problem with these sort of things with super heroes, is I'm sure we all have a character that could probably blow up a city and quite a far few who can someone actual demons, or zombies... or are demons or zombies.
    A tall guy, supernatural or not, isn't so much scary as just a boss at the end of the mission.

    Not to criticize you or anything, just lamenting the problems of horror when confronted with people in spandex.

    Pretty much anyone animal-themed.
    Like Doctor Octopus, Scorpion, Vulture, Lizard, Chameleon, Rhino and Hammerhead?

    It didn't happen when both shows were both made solely by the BBC and under the same showrunner, in Wales. It's certainly not going to happen now.

    The question is, are Doctor Who and Torchwood even in the same continuity now?
    I got the impression that the Cracks hit the reset switch on humanity's alien knowledge.

Or some other plausible story about bystanders being where they shouldn't. Might be possible to kill that many without killing a bystander with a bow or pistol, but when explosions and machine guns are involved, no amount of planning can keep bystanders safe if they are in the area.
    This is Marvel though, they claim that the Hulk never once killed an innocent bystander in all of his rampages (and only killed like, one or two villains).

    Well, after watching the first episode I've come to the conclusion that they didn't actually give up on the idea but rather decided they would try to stealth it in by pretending it was a new season of Torchwood that was going to be bigger and better due to having a major cable channel backing it. This just felt like an Americanized version of the show. Not as bad as Red Dwarf but not as good as The Office so far as adaptations go.
    I think you have a few of your facts mixed up. This, Torchwood in America with Barrowman and Myles was always the plan.

    It's also the only reason we still have some of the old Doctor Who episodes after they almost all got binned in the late 60's/early 70's.
    They recovered a lot of stories from Australia, Canada and oddly enough, Nigeria.
