  1. I'm all sad now.

     

    BBC bosses expect Peter Capaldi to leave Doctor Who after the next series – when writer Steven Moffat also steps down.

     

    The 57-year-old’s tenure as the 12th Doctor is likely to end in 2017.

     

    When new chief Chris Chibnall, who created Broadchurch, begins a new era in series 11, it is thought he will also get to choose his own Time Lord.

     

    A source on the BBC show said: “Bosses are already discussing a fresh start when Steven leaves.

  2. Also I don't know, it's probably Capaldi may leave after his next season to give the new showrunner a clean slate which is a shame cause I wanted to see Capaldi get some good material after last season.

    This is just speculation on your part, right?

  3. Well, guys... this is it... I've launched the kickstarter for my first comic book! And I am nervous as hell!! It's been a long time coming, so much money spent leaving my pockets dry, so many set backs! But it's finally here! Even if you're unable to donate, please, share and spread the good word as much as possible, especially to those who'll love a product like this! :)

     

    Thanks, everyone!

    i have started to try to contact a therapist. thats actually as hard as i was afraid. long waiting lists worth half a year and all... i started talking to two good friends and my ma, about the idea and i come to realize that above all, i am amidst something like a depression, that i am doing my best to ignore for quite some time. welp, awaiting callbacks from therapists and will try to contact more later.

    Well done! Yeah, waiting lists are a bummer. Hope you get to see someone soon. Do you have a referral from your doctor, or maybe you don't need that in Germany (if I recall correctly, that's where you live?)

  5. let me put it this way: i panic, because i have social problems that i am aware of, for the entirety of my life. i am reading on about it, because of that. but you are right, before i tell others what i think about myself, i should talk to a specialist and have an official diagnosis.

    I'd say that seeing a specialist (psychologist or psychiatrist I would assume) could be a good idea, not because getting a diagnosis in itself is any helpful, but because understanding yourself and learning to cope with your issues IS helpful. BUT: I would not tell the specialist that you want to see them because you want a clear diagnosis. Instead, I would tell them about your social issues, and say you need help with that. Then, once you're talking to them, you can say that you've been wondering whether you are on the autism spectrum. The way you present it, your problem is rooted in finding ways to manage social situations and relations. That should be your focus. Getting a "clear diagnosis" is helpful only insofar it gives you new tools and insight into how to manage your life and relationships.

     

    Also, you could talk to your friends about these issues (if you feel comfortable discussing them), and tell them how you feel, what makes you nervous, which things you find difficult etc. They may be able to help you cope. You seem like a very nice person, so I'm sure people will want to help you feel better if you help them understand your situation.

  6. I thank the maker that I'm not hipster enough to frequent shaving forums and blogs :D

     

    I've been told that both salty licorice and sour jelly is something of a Norwegian/Nordic peculiarity, and that especially salty licorice is not to all Britons' taste.

  7. I got something in the post earlier (which makes me feel bad that I didn't get my own package* off earlier): a couple of bags of Norwegian sweeties and a "Wit And Wisdom of Tyrian Lannister" book. Many thanks, Secret Satan (I think I can hazard a guess as to who that was, as well).

    How was the candy?

  8. You're right about the Thor subplot, but here's why:

    One of Whedon's first cuts for Avengers: Age of Ultron clocked in at three hours and 15 minutes. The final run time is about two hours and 20 minutes. And Thor's spelunking subplot is a casualty of nearly an hour's worth of edited material.

     

    "The original scene was that he went to speak to the Norns," Whedon said, referring to female beings in Norse mythology who control destiny. Basically, Norns are analogous to The Fates in Greek Mythology. "How it would work was, he goes into the pool, and the Norns possess him, basically. And Erik Selvig asks all the questions, and the Norns, speaking through Thor, give the answers."
