  1. youre gonna run into a bit of trouble at some point. the xkcd What If? book details the effects but suffice to say there are some elements you should not collect unless you want to experience the effects of intense radiation.

     

    Yeah, I don't want to collect all of the elements. Just the ones that are sufficiently safe. I'm not after any plutonium or astatine. :P

  2. As for the whole "don't pay until you receive the package" thing, that often won't work, since many sellers will only ship after you pay.

     

    Anyway, in addition to those that Lychir mentioned, most parts from the "technic liftarm" and "technic connector" categories are invaluable for MOCing.

  3. Now that I think about it I may have imagined that episode

    It was, somewhere in the middle of series 7.

     

    Anyway, as for the insults, to me they've always come across as sort of the Doctor's way of reasserting the whole "I am not your boyfriend, Clara" thing. He overcompensates in that regard to ensure that there is no doubt. That's how I see it, anyway. 

  4. Oh yeah sure, that's what it's become. The 'Clara' show, not the 'men fight over Clara as though they're somehow entitled to her and emotionally abuse and manipulate her while they're at it' show.

    Doctor Who is supposed to be about the companions. Right now all I'm seeing is a forced romantic subplot being used to teach the Doctor a lesson about the soldier prejudices he never had until now, and the use of Clara as a plot device to facilitate this unnecessary Doctor-centric charavter development.

     

    but y'know what let's just name it clara, because even with all of these issues this is somehow still better treatment than she got last season

     

    (as a side-note, if this is a comment on clara being forced into literally every moment in the doctor's timeline then yes, i agree)

    I'm not against characterization of Clara, and it agree that the whole "men fight over Clara..." thing wouldn't be good. The only reason I'm bothered is that they are overdoing it, causing a new doctor to have little development when he needs it most.
