I challenge Bad Wolf to a Doctor Who trivia vs Esquilax, and we can see just who'se the Whovian of the who's.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

It's gonna be him, if he's familiar with classic Who.

Since esquilax has partially withdrawn his previous comment, then so shall I. I apologise.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

Also: Just been watching An Adventure In Space And Time on the BBC iPlayer. I expect I'll stop crying in a bit. If David Bradley doesn't get an award for his uncanny and deeply moving portrayal of William Hartnell, I'm going to organise mass exterminations.
I might have to rewatch Peter Davison's excellent The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot to counteract it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Oh my god how fucking sad was that ending?
My guts did not need that punch, Gatiss! They did not!

The story of those genesis years is one that's ingrained in fandom history; it was fascinating to see it brought to life. For an hour and a half, I really was in the sixties, in the presence of pioneers. Even though I knew how it was going to end.

And yet they wonder why piracy is so rampant. I too downloaded it - although to be fair, I did watch the ABC broadcast too - however the ABC gave us shitty SD with channel logo and I can download it in HD or 3D without channel logo - as I wanted to see it in 3D I downloaded it in HD3D.
Here's a comparison ... here's 2D:
And here's the same screenshot in 3D:
So much more depth, even with such a crude example. If they're not going to broadcast it in at least the quality that we can download it on torrent sites, then they should expect the show to be pirated IMHO.
Just like when the series starts up again next year (well plus the Christmas special) I'll continue to download it in HD instead of watching ABC's shitty SD broadcast.

It was the bestest thing ever!!!!
Pfft. Here's some of the flaws in the episode (spoilers ahead):
"We're looking for a string of numerals from around 1550" - There's no way to date the string of numerals - a. not enough time for radiocarbon dating, b. it's etched into the building anyway so radiocarbon dating would be moot, and c. you can't date by palaeography because it's not written by somebody contemporary of 1550, and while it is written in English, there's nothing to distinguish it as from that period.
The doctors use their sonic screwdriver to push a dalek through the glass of the painting, which is ridiculous.
The doctor then makes everyone forget whether they're human or zygon - meaning by default they think they're human, and as humans they wanted to detonate the nuke, so why did they stop the countdown?
If an entire planet disappears from the middle of the dalek's battle grounds, how on earth are they going to kill each other in crossfire? As if the daleks - a. would not notice and b. would be firing in such density into the planet that it would destroy themselves (this point is completely disproven anyway by the fact that the doctor goes to an abandoned shack somewhere in the desert on Galifray and there is NO dalek lasers raining down anywhere to be seen).
So with that in mind, how come they don't disappear the planet and then detonate the WMD?
If the calculations would take "hundreds of years", then if you had a bank of "hundreds" of computers (as commonly seen in servers all around the world) it would take 1 year, and if you had 365x those "hundreds" - so say approximately 200,000 computers then you could do the calculation in just 1 day. If you had 4.8 million you could calculate it in one hour and if you had 288 million computers you could do the calculation in one minute. Are we really meant to believe that none of this is possible on Galifray - that they don't have banks and banks of servers, etc?
That's some of the errors, I don't believe they were the only ones but that's all I can remember right now.
