Heh, at least Amy is finally clothed in this episode :D

And, I gotta admit, this Dalek story seem refreshing to me for some odd reason. I mean, I know at the end they will try to kill everyone and take over the world and the usual Dalek stuff, but leave it to Moffat to have a fairly unique Dalek episode :)

I'm hoping its different from the usual Dalek stories, I'm totally up for them getting away or something similar.

Better than them always getting killed and then always turning up.

There's a review of episode three, "Victory Of The Daleks."

The episode is basically split into two halves ? the first 12-15 minutes are really exciting and play up the "Blitz spirit" and Winston Churchill's cabinet war rooms. We meet Churchill before the opening credits, and there's a quick twist to capture your attention. Churchill talks in speeches and patriotic slogans, but Edwin Bracewell, the Daleks' "inventor" is a more fleshed-out character. There's a great space dogfight (as seen in the trailers.) The Daleks have been redesigned again, and instead of names, are called things like Drone, Scientist, Supreme, Strategist and Eternal. This story reintroduces the Daleks in a way that leaves the door open for them to return. And the fact that Amy has never heard of

Hey, guys, I'm working with BBC America and I wanted to pass on a very cool clip and help get you ready for the US premiere Saturday at 9/8c!

There was a fan screening in East Village and Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Steven Moffat answered questions by fans afterward - watch the video on the BBC America website: http://www.bbcamerica.com/shows/doctor-who/video/events.jsp?bcpid=78110230001&bclid=78116751001&bctid=78144784001

I don't normally thank One Post Wonders, but thanks! That was a great video to watch. (And scarfffffffff!)

Thanks a bunch. :)

Was it just my TV or was some of the speech in that episode ridiculously hard to hear? :huh:

mine was ok? on Freeview

I noticed again another nod to the crack, that's 3 for 3 for the crack!

I heard he was gay not sure how true that is

Can't really say he sets my Gaydar off, to be honest.

As for tonights episode - I wasn't all that impressed. We had a power cut in my street about 15 mins before the start, and the lights were a flickering more than in the Cabinet War rooms, so I'm glad the power didn't go off, however, I didn't really "dig" tonights episode - it seeemed like they'd come up with a decent idea, then consensed it down into a single episode

Spoilers:

Also - those new Daleks - United Colors of Benneton anyone? Or have they been taking advice from The Power Rangers?

Next week looks interesting, however.

    • Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
