Dear Bob, Sorry, I've been having a busy spell for the last while and somehow managed to work pweb out of my procrastination rotation. I'm currently deep in my incredibly exciting dissertation and am so full of exciting facts about political districting that it's not really safe for me to be around ...

I understand the thinking behind not calling people racist, that it just makes them defensive, they'll hunker down and disengage and we'll never be able to get our side across. But I don't understand the implied other half of that, does the 'softly, softly' approach mean we can actually have inform...

I'm all on board with all the 'racism' not 'racist' stuff. We've for various good reasons convinced everyone that it's a bad thing to be a racist, but I think something that's come out of that is we see racism as a individual sin rather than as something that's warped in the culture. It's something ...

Stewart never mentions the KKK, and that you went there is kind of my point - If racism is linked to the scary, violent people in the robes, by definition there are no racists in polite society. Which would be nice! But it's clearly not the case. Is the Tea Party an organised violent group like the ...

Sorry, good point, just taking from his closing remarks: There are terrorists and racists and Stalinists and theocrats, but those titles that must earned; you must have the resume. Not being able to be able to distinguish between real racists and Tea Partiers, or real bigots and Juan Williams or Ric...

Restoring Sanity
Jon Stewart's sane world is apparently one where being absurdly obviously racist and pointing out absurdly obvious racism are equally terrible affairs. Discuss.

The official Who explanation for when things don't seem right is that you didn't see the adventures that make that make sense - just imagine there was a season's worth of stories where the Doctor has to escape the horrible trap of unreality before his triumphant escape to the wedding. The musical ep...

I'm very impressed with Stephen Moffatt for two things especially - the way he drew the entire season into the final plot, and the way he USED time travel. So often the TARDIS has seemed like little more than a McGuffin. It was all so lovely. Yeah, I've got a whole thing half-written about how Moff...

I'm annoyed we wasted two episodes and a perfectly good premise on this last story for some incredibly rubbish writing, but yeah I'm pretty happy. Even stand alones like the vampires were perfectly watchable and he's getting a distinct take on the role which I quite like. Also I like Amy so that's g...

Yeah, all the on island action sat ok with me but the alt-world revelations kind of ruined everything that's previously happened there. Does it matter that some people were having happier lives without the island? Did those lives really happen? Those people just don't seem to exist any more so I'm n...
