Okay, that's weird about the tag.

t tag?

t /close?

Okay--don't put the dash before the t, put it after the space.

As for the ranting--if characters didn't try and do things the audience knew to be inevitable, fiction would be a measure more boring. And sometimes they will find ways to succeed that we couldn't have predicted. That's the magic of someone else writing.

t tries again

/t is successful?

What am I missing here? I feel completely brain dead tonight.

There is no /t.

I was trying to make the closed tag. What am I doing wrong?

I'm gonna close this, eh? Just add a t like before, and then the slash after

t open

t /I'm gonna close this, eh?

I don't have the context to frame what level spoiler this is, but I was trawling the Sun, and Peggy Olson to return to Mad Men: [link] ?

Really, really, really spoilery for Doctor Who. Except that I suspect it is a either a flat-out foiler, or at the very least deliberately misleading. However, if it is not a some kind of a foiler than this is about as spoilery for a single episode as it gets, as well as for an important point in the seasonal arc. If you click, it is at your own risk that this is real, and you are being spoiled the hell out of. I'm posting the link rather than naming the spoiler just in case someone does not want to be quite THAT spoiled. [link]

My thoughts: the first spoiler/foiler would be kind of awesome. The topic really can't get any scarier, so making it over the top and funny is not a bad way to go. The 2nd seasonal arc point - well I'm NOT thrilled. But could make for a decent story. Which is why I don't believe it. Moffat is not going to give away both of those if either one is true. Though I really want to see the first.

Revolution spoilers, bearing in mind that I watched this over a month ago and it wasn't very good so the details are pretty fuzzy.

Why would people move away from firearms unless they *had* to?

I really should remember this better because I think it was an important plot point, but I'm almost positive that guns are just illegal for everyone except the militias. So they work, but if you're caught with one they will arrest you and take your gun away.

As far as electricity and the laws of physics are concerned, there's evidence by the end of the episode that electricity is somehow being *actively* suppressed, and that there is an underground resistance movement who knows what's going on and how to get around it and plug shit in.

(There is also a character who used to work for Google who walks around pointing out all the things that don't make sense in their world and being pissed off that nobody else seems to care about the science, which takes some of the sting out.)

That's actually pretty funny.
