If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place
Time

While I have only been here for a few years, I can say that there were more members here. Of course some things got changed but I can’t say whether things are better or not yet as it is too soon to say. However I don’t necessarily like the fact that certain kind fellows like Possessed, Collipso, Frink Your Majesty and a few others have been placed on forced leave. This is all my opinion based off of the scant information that has been left for public consumption by this fourm’s upper class. Please don’t ban me for disagreeing like the ones listed have.

I confess that I didn’t see the tiny bit of gantry above the TIE in that shot at first.

The only onscreen evidence of how TIE’s are parked pre-SE is in ROTJ.

Jedi Outcast had a Star Destroyer level with a hangar bay full of TIE’s hanging around this way.

I never noticed the TIE hanging from some sort of maintenance gantry in this shot before!

Fun fact: The majority of what you see in the last too images are matte paintings. I geek out every time.

Also, Return Of The Jedi is my favorite Star Wars movie.

Very much agreed, Anchorhead.

This next episode will be a true test. They’re going to go visit Rosa Parks. Will they be historically accurate, or will there be a lot of revisionism? I’m going to guess a bit of revisionism.

What do you mean?

I’m guessing the show will greatly simplify the situation, playing into the great myth you’re taught in elementary school. The great Rosa Parks was the one who said no on a whim, and it is all because of her that buses were integrated here in the US. The historical context is a lot more complex and complicated, and interesting. I’m assuming the episode will have the Doctor try to convince her to go through with it, with no mention of those more interesting elements as they go against the prevailing legend.

Really, if we’re going to have an episode where Rosa Parks is hesitant to go through with it, I want a dialogue like this:

Rosa: “Well, they don’t need me, there are others–”
Doctor: “Yes, there are others, and there have been others. But your actions here will reach beyond them. Someone as well liked, someone so innocent, to go through the horrors of your society, will resonate far beyond Alabama. No one else will look as righteous to the nation.”

Or something to that effect. Basically I want there to be some recognition that Rosa Parks was not the only one who was courageous in that situation, that she did not do it on a whim (She and Colvin were both active members of the NAACP), and that the black leadership in Montgomery, Alabama wanted her to do it for the reasons stated above, as they would not be able to gain the sympathies of the courts, whites, and the middle class with Colvin, a poor, pregnant teenager. This in no way minimizes the bravery and injustice Parks endured, but it is the way it happened.

“I’m not disappointed,” Colvin said. “Let the people know Rosa Parks was the right person for the boycott. But also let them know that the attorneys took four other women to the Supreme Court to challenge the law that led to the end of segregation.”

But maybe this is too much to ask for from Doctor Who.

So much for giving it a chance eh Warbler, Handman and co?

Warb you conveniently left out the part where you complained about feminist agendas…yet again.

Warbler said:

And my worry was about a feminist agenda being shoved in our faces, not just the gender change.

That was literally him explaining that he wasn’t worried about an agenda. You’re being dense and antagonizing him over nothing.

“Dense” is wrong and “antagonizing him over nothing” is your opinion. Maybe he shouldn’t say stupid shit like “feminist agenda.”

This very much this.
