Lazarillo

But...what exactly does a BCU know that could possibly be useful for Desdemona to learn?

I thought that was what the whip was for.

Will they give her pants?

Perhaps her pants took the fall for her? They're serving a lifetime sentence in the Zig, while she goes free (in more ways than one).

That's Kinetic Melee.

Outside of Shin Breaker (which looks to be reasonably skippable), it's about the stylinest melee set around. It's one thing to beat everybody down, but it's another thing entirely to beat them down with incredible finesse.

With CoV, I paid $30, and got a bunch of stuff other than powersets, but when you break it down, even if all I payed for was powersets, they ran $2 each, as opposed to $10 for these new sets. And with things like proliferation and the roll-in of CoV to the rest of the game, these sets were effectively free (after all, even if I didn't buy anything, my Controller didn't need to pay extra to get Thermal Radiation in the first round of proliferation).

I'll be buying Street Justice anyway, because I have the points set aside for it, but people might not complain as much if things were more reasonably priced.

River's pretty easy to explain, actually. In her situation, basically, why should she be honest? If bad-types ever got hold of her diary, they would find out the order of the Doctors, which is something that she, married to and in love with the Doctor, absolutely does not want anyone to know at this point. It suits her to keep up the ruse as well.

Wait, that's it! They're going to launch every Zig! Moon zone by way of rocket-prison!

I feel sorry for your Positron.

You can't use it yet. It was in beta for a little while, then taken out, and it's slated be added to the Paragon Store sometime between now and the end of the year.

Well, only from our perspective. Since the Doctor's a time traveler and stuff anyway, the rest of the universe sees him with all sorts of different faces at all sorts of different times. There's really not much "outside" way to tell which Doctor came when.

He was from finale in the first half of the season, A Good Man Goes to War. One of the guys the Doctor recruited to rescue Amy.

That one was in Let's Kill Hitler, yeah.

As much as we know is basically as it was stated in this episode. The Doctor is going to be compelled to answer a question frankly and honestly, and that answer must remain hidden from the rest of the universe. So they're trying to kill him before that happens.

As I understand it, the Doctor's "death" absolutely had to happen. By breaking that "fixed point", it broke the rest of the universe.
