I recall an episode of Static Shock featuring a tech-based superhero team populated by pro basketball players.

If not, I've got a Defender who still has that tip left over from last year. What am I bid? :-)

Given the phrasing and warehouse physics, it is possible that the inside of that little bubble would be "outside" the main bubble. As such, putting the bomb in the little bubble would protect the Warehouse, but flatten the rest of the state.

Not quite what I was getting at. Suppose the following conversation:

Dalek 1: "IT IS THE DOCTOR! EXTERMINATE!!"
Dalek 2: "NEGATE! The Doctor's death is a fixed point in time! Extermination here would destroy time itself!"
Dalek 1: "IT IS THE DOCTOR! EVACUATE!!"

The *Doctor* knows that he can be killed by Daleks without destroying the universe. But *they* don't know that. They all think he died in 2011, and nothing in the universe can change that. Hence, they'll know to not even try.

Hurm. Other plot problems: If his death is a "Fixed point", that means nothing *else* can kill him without destroying the universe, and the whole universe knows that. Including his enemies. Except that the Doctor himself knows that he can die.

A lot of this seems to be Moffat's way to undo some of the lore that RTD had added to the Whoverse. So I wonder how Moffat's successor will try to undo *this*.

And the Doctor could continue to operate normally, I suppose. At this point, the entire universe "knows" that the Doctor died on April 22, 2011, at the age of 1100. So the Doctor, age 1101, can pop out of the TARDIS anywhere he likes so long as he *claims* to be younger than that. Rule 1: The Doctor lies.
The Silence will even be satisfied. They'll see this 'younger' Doctor running about and know that he's going to be shot by River without ever getting the chance to answer The Question. He just has to be really sure that Amy, Rory, and River don't talk about it. Or any of the crew of the Tesselecta, I suppose.

Of course, that more or less falls apart when he regenerates out of Matt Smith.

Also in Silence in the Library where the Doctor warned the shadow-critters to "Look me up" and they retreated.

This time, he endangerd *himself* too. This plague was fatal to Time Lords. What if he'd landed pretty much anywhere else on the planet except inside a sterile facility?

For that matter, the planet was supposedly the #2 tourist destination in the entire Universe. Their health system should be _very_ familiar with aliens.

There is the issue that a large number of IDF troops saw the whole incident. And are supposed to talk about it. It won't that long for the Duray-clones to hear the story about how their predecessor died and what he was planning.

A joke from a PnP Champs RPG from many years ago:
Somewhere out there is.... The Hamster. This is a being built on the same number of points as a powerful superhero. But it has all the physical characteristics and powers of an ordinary hamster, save two: 1. Unaging and 2. Luck. A *whole* lot of Luck.
This is the reason that civilization appeared on Earth: To provide the wood-shaving-filled aquarium in a small elementary school where The Hamster can live comfortably. Superpowers exist to protect The Hamster from interplanetary threats such as meteors and alien invasions. The heroes will always manage to save the world thanks to the Luck Of The Hamster.

8/10. But have completely the wrong skill set and personality for anything that involves being "in charge".

And they seemed to imply that it went straight through the middle of the planet. Which doesn't work; we already know the center of the Earth is filed with giant drowned spiders :-)

I'm wondering if one of the "goals" of this whole story is to specifically strip off Jack's immortality because Barrowman wants to keep playing the role but is starting to visibly age.

He was granted infinite regenerations and keeps looping himself. We are *all* The Doctor!

Space-suit costumes generally don't look right without a backpack, for example. Military-themed medics likely want Red Cross logos. Not to mention all the battlesuit possibilities.

It is true that the Iowas have unique capabilities that can be highly useful. Unfortunately for them, their chief disadvantage is that they are very, very expensive to operate. Their crew size is immense, the older systems require a lot of upkeep, etc. And as we found out the hard way, the inside of the big turrets can be really dangerous.

That said- in my PnP Superhero RPG, a few Navy-oriented super-gadgeteers fixed a lot of those problems by installing robotic automation on the Iowas. They're useful for shelling giant monsters :-)

Make that two spinoffs, counting Sara Jane Adventures. Which is aimed in the other direction.

And they have 337 words for "now".

I'm pretty sure you can craft stuff before level 10. You can't run the Invention tutorial missions, but a level 2 can walk into a Library and craft.

That one sounds like a job for Eureka.
