I agree that it's got to be a timey-wimey thing that's causing the indeterminate reading. Maybe Amy exists twice in the current time line, and one of her is pregnant. The TARDIS scanner was not told which Amy Pond to scan, so it bounces between the two results.

It seemed like eyepatch-lady said something like a midwife would say to a woman giving birth in one of the eps (the pirate one, I think). Something like "You're doing fine."

The next episode is supposed to have a big cliff-hanger, and then just one more until the mid-season break. Gahhhh! I'm all atwitter.


Well... Amy did sort of create an alternate timeline... Remember from the first series with Matt, the little Amy who visited the museum and released Amy prime from the whosiwhaticron box? :3

Then again, Donna did, too. :)

But.. but... I waaaaaaaant mooooore! ;-)

That's funny. I didn't even realize the last season was only 13 episodes too. There's been a few series on this side of the pond that only had 12 or 13 episodes before it was cancelled (Firefly and Crusade to name two) and the fans describe them as never really getting the chance to draw an audience.

Hi all,

I bought a lifetime sub to LotRO when it came out (and have been playing it off-and-on since, so think I've got my money's worth!)

For Lifers (and subscribers) it works pretty much as before. A Free player can play a fair bit straight out of the gate, but would then need to spend turbine points on unlocking new areas, etc.

Lifers and subbers get 500 turbine point per month free, which you can spend on various nice things, including a few stat point boosts (max +50 to each stat so not game-breaking). You also get a few turbine points from completing deeds, and of course can buy them too.

I think it's working out pretty well for them, tho I do find the constant references to LotRO store in the game UI pretty annoying...

As for the game itself:
- It's based itself heavily on WoW.
- There's no open-world PvP so it's a much more relaxing (and generally adult) environment.
- The story is pretty good for an MMO.
- Artistic license (for the sake of gameplay) means Tolkien fans might cringe a fair bit... but it's not as bad as STO in that regard so I'm guessing it wouldn't bother most of you! :P

I still play it now and then, but obviously more STO atm...

i can't believe that in texas that gay can be refused to service.

in witch time live texas in 1700? or 1600? that makes me still cry.

i thought germany are not right on time what gay and lesbians is in law and the respect. but now i am happy to see that germany is much more in the right time. netherlands and danemark are in first place for gay and lesbian in law.

i hope it is possible to understand what i want to say.

after all texas is stone age in my eyes

WARNING: The following is potentially politically charged and comes from a pretty libertarian view. Please note that these are simply my personal opinions on matters and can respect thoughtful disagreement.

I don't really have the time to go through the entire video again, but I recall an overlay mentioning how many states had anti-discrimination policies on the books and it was less than half if I recall correctly.

That doesn't bother me in the least In the U.S. when it comes to business we have the freedom to vote with our wallets. If an establishment does something we don't like, you don't patronize the establishment. My personal opinion is that it's absurd for our elected officials to have to waste their time making laws to prohibit certain groups, or forcibly allow others (e.g. smokers). I firmly believe there are substantially more important issues to deal with (but won't go into that here). It's a nanny state I personally don't want to live in.

A timely national poll was released this week showing that for the first time, the majority of Americans are for Gay Marriage equality, and in my experience this number will only grow. If a business decides to exclude one group of people, you can bet that there will be a backlash against them by potential patrons. I don't think the government needs to step in.

I really liked this video because it presented things as "this is what happened" and didn't try to skew things to show that Texas or any other "red" (Republican) state were backwards homophobes, and "blue" (Democrat) states were enlightened intellectuals. This usual intentional mis-characterization of the participants in a debate does not help matters.

We need to get beyond the name calling and political affiliation demagoguing so we can get to the humanity of the participants. Only then can real debate and progress be made.

Years ago, when I finally came out of the closet and was making a new life for me in the area I live in now, I wrote a small missive for my MySpace profile as a creative way of telling people about who I was, and what my hopes and dreams were.

I firmly believe that real social change does not come from the Capitol, the Oval Office, or from the Pulpit. It comes from you and me respectfully interacting with the people we come into contact with. Parading half-naked down the street and simulating sex at a Pride parade isn't going to change anyone's mind about "gay equality".

But I have seen in my own life, how the "normalcy" of the life I have created with MikeyNY, has made us welcomed in our conservative leaning suburban neighborhood. My boss and several colleagues are very right-leaning, but I have had nothing but friendship, acceptance, and support from them. I interact with Indian vendors on a daily basis, and I have developed friendships with several of them even though their culture still shuns marrying outside of their caste, much less adding racial or sexual-orientation issues into the mix.

Even more shockingly for me: my devoutly-Catholic father has even come around after 3 years and is now willing to attend our marriage ceremony.

Sorry for the soap box moment. I guess I'm just tired of the labels and stereotypes on ALL fronts and am frustrated that some are actively encouraged for political reasons.

My hope is that they do a "Trials and Tribbleations" type of episode for the 50th anniversary (only 2 years away!). They could put Matt (or whoever is the current Doctor) into previous Doctors' stories, sneaking around in the background, foiling some timey-wimey or spacey-wacey Dalek plot.

Maybe if I wish really hard, it will come true.


Haha! I'll start wishing as well... if they managed it for an episode of DS9 I'm sure they could budget it in to DW!

Actually, even though Tom Baker has aged (and reddenned) over the years, they could still use some new voiceover lines from him, and through the magic of TV, have his old character appear to say them! :cheer:

The other day I was wondering about multiple-doctor episodes... you remember the old ones where Tom Baker et al would appear on-screen at the same time? They could easily do a similar one now with Smith, Tennant and Eccleston - that'd be great fun! He is a time traveller, after all... :)

I was going to predict it would never happen, but then Zep brought up this excellent point that I had forgotten. So it just might.
