I am slowly getting more and more disinterested with this series and I think the producers are holding Capaldi back with the weak story lines.

 

Over all the series, I think my favourite Doctor is tennant in series 3 & 4 (not series 2 - boring) as it was emotional, had some dark moments and lots of action, and the specials were fantastic!

 

I really hope they do the show justice and bring back that spark.

I just watched last weeks and it was really good, its not Blink good but it was still amazing.

 

What annoys me is the amount of the people who gets a ride in the TARDIS

 

I know right? It's no longer this mysterious invite only all powerful time machine, it gets more passengers than 55 to Oxford street!

Can the mighty UNIT contain Missy? As the Doctor faces his greatest challenge, sacrifices must be made before the day is won.

The feel of the Flatline episode reminded me of the Tennant Era for some reason and i really enjoyed it. 

 

I look back at Matt Smith's first series and remember how he had great episodes from the word go - World War 2 Daleks, Churchill, The Weeping Angels, Vincent Van Gogh!

 

Capaldi is a fantastic Doctor yet so far it feels like the storylines are a bit weak in comparison to those of his predecessors? 

 

Moon is an Egg, The world is covered in trees? Okay great but it all feels a little rushed. Like these huge events, with potentially massive consequences get wrapped up with no real harm done and without much intervention needed. For example, while tonights episode was alright i felt like we spent the whole time watching them wonder aimlessly around a Forest, the Doctor realises there is no threat and then 'the end'. Suspense? None.

Ha ha. 

 

Not only that but the fact that companions now have a life outside the TARDIS is tedious and it's silly to think that the Doctor has to pop by their house/workplace every time he wants a friend to go and do something.  He comes across as a bit of a billy no mates.  He also seems like a bit of a pervy old third wheel now that the companions have separate love lives (Amy Pond's marriage, Clara's thing with the boring Mr Pink).  He always just seems to be hanging around waiting for them to come and play with him.

 

The whole thing's a mess.

 

There are so many children wandering in and out of the TARDIS these days the show's starting to feel like Blue Peter.

I liked it, I thought the inner message bout the trees were a really good message to give out, specially to kids that watch the show.

The finale is going to kick butt though!  :woot:

So the CME "burnt off" the oxygen in the atmosphere, and nobody on the ground felt anything...

 

Because it didn't burn it off, all the trees made it thicker, thick enough to withstand the flare, so it wasn't all burned, or in this case blasted away.  Plus the trees were fireproof, added protection in some fashion, this is scifi, it doesn't always have to make complete sense.

 

The only thing people on the ground would notice is the pretty lightshow in the sky.

I rather like the tree episode. The message was good too, and Capaldi is settling in nicely as the doctor.

 

The trailer for the finale looked amazing. I hope it can live up to that trailer.

 

Was never a fan of Matt Smith personally. Never felt like the Doctor to me. More like some kid pretending to be the doctor.

 

 

Missy....? Good question. Good Villain.... or maybe something else.... maybe something.... more familiar.... hmmm....

    • KillerPDF 1.4.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

      "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.

      It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
