DSA stops an individual jumping...Tut-tut, Matthew.<br /><br />DSA stops an individual jumping the timelines, but not OBJECTS - else how could the slaver ship get ANYWHERE? Besides, WG shows that DSA is no obstacle for a TARDIS, which is why Biroc needs Romana, K9 and their new TARDIS to free Tharils from slavery.<br /><br />So, in Day of the Moon, the Doctor could never have escaped the DSA cell on his own, but with the TARDIS? No, as they say, sweat.Youth of Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08509521019229324658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075740671122268515.post-66125627611645878942011-07-24T07:37:56.153+10:002011-07-24T07:37:56.153+10:00Apparently it's "the only thing heavy eno...<i>Apparently it's "the only thing heavy enough to weigh down dreams", ie, stops someone travelling through time.</i><br /><br />Wait, <i>what?</i> How could the Doctor use the TARDIS in it, then? :-SMatthew Blanchettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829163626544348823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075740671122268515.post-46862070507789543442011-07-23T23:20:53.746+10:002011-07-23T23:20:53.746+10:00The dwarf star alloy thing is one that really irri...<i>The dwarf star alloy thing is one that really irritates me, btw.</i><br />Right there with you, bud.<br /><br /><i>the suggestion seems to be that it's among the rarest materials in the universe and isn't even a very practical material.</i><br />Well, not really... There's enough of it to build fleets of spaceships and manacles for millions of slaves. Mind you, dwarf stars might be common to E-Space...<br /><br /><i>it was primarily useful for the operation to enslave the Tharils rather than anything else...</i><br />Quite right. Apparently it's "the only thing heavy enough to weigh down dreams", ie, stops someone travelling through time.<br /><br />My main objection is... why build a submarine out of the heaviest substence in the universe?! It'll sink and never come up again!<br /><br /><i>And... if Jack's immortal, doesn't that allow him to build up several lifetimes of regret over the consequences of his actions?</i><br />Yeah, I totally give up on the logic of his last scene. Almost as retarded as the bit in Miracle Day where Gwen asks Jack "Why did you leave?"<br /><br />JACK: Um... because I got my boyfriend killed, murdered my grandson and had a complete nervous breakdown before hitchhiking a passing UFO. You were there at the time, when I explained this to you. As was Rhys. After six months of me wallowing in self-loathing and pity.

It's been in a couple of stories and it confuses me because when it's introduced in WG the suggestion seems to be that it's among the rarest materials in the universe and isn't even a very practical material. ISTR in-story it was suggested that it was primarily useful for the operation to enslave the Tharils rather than anything else...<br /><br />And... if Jack's immortal, doesn't that allow him to build up <i>several lifetimes</i> of regret over the consequences of his actions?Jared "No Nickname" Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13825668092428993308noreply@blogger.com
