  1. Notice how the Cut away from Gretchin and Half-Faced Man, was the same 'Cut Away' used when the Doctor Materialized around Blue. Missy has TARDIS Technology? My top theories are in order: The Master, Insane Clara Splinter? The Rani, Other theories, which are baseless, are an insane Romana (K9 Always called her Mistress - i.e. Missy?) or perhaps The Black Guardian?
  2. Anyone have any theories as to the Identity of "Missy"?
  3. Do what I do. Watch "The Satan Pit" And Pretend the Beast is Ruin.
  4. Perhaps, rather than have single colours dictating the purpose, there is a spectrum of colours, with different colours being suited to others. Imagine the alloys in Mistborn? How if you are out by a bit, it works, just not as well, and out by too much, it doesn't work? Perhaps a similar thing with hues? But the above works quite well. Hmm... I think the "Anti-Ink" should be accessible to all... It reminds me of the "Dip" from the old "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?!" film? Remember? It acts like an acid or a solvent, decaying imprinted images and objects, which would mean that for some things, its not suitable... Another interesting idea, would be to use the Imprinting to create the mould or cast of an object, then fill it with molten gold, silver, or cement, to create buildings with fascinating architecture, then dispel the imprint, and have it made of suitable materials. Proceed to paint, and done.
  5. Well that was FANTASTIC! And that final scene... Begin Rani/Master/River Debate!!! I have my own theory of who this person is...
  6. Heh! You know something? My first magic system had plenty of parallels to Feruchemy... And the book title of another, was called "The King's Necromancer" and was about a guy, who wanted to become a Mage (Think Oxbridge Uni) but due to things like a lack of back ground, wealth, and poor results on a rigged test, fails. In desperation, be is trained by a Necromancer, which though not illegal, is frowned upon as being dirty, and unpleasant, if useful. Kind of like a guy going from wanting to study Medicine, to studying nursing. Both are important, but because of social perceptions one is seen as more "Academic" and useful. Thus begins his time as a Necromancer, which is essentially a Department of Post-Morton Communications for the Night Watch. I envisioned it as a CSI-Fantasy, with the murder's being solved with Necromancy... No sooner do I have this idea, but I log onto Sanderson.com, and read that Sanderson actually has a book in the works called "The King's Necromancer." Not only that, but the idea of diseases causing magic power? My Brother had that one, and was excitedly telling me about it, until I explained it was in an unreleased Sanderson Novel. *** Anyway, story over. I have a few more questions: Perhaps the Ink can be what determines the quality and type of Imprint? And Ink-print, if you will? This adds a finaciel limitation, with the richer imprinters being more powerful. Black ink might be only suitable for Basic Imprints. With Blue, Red and Green inks being needed for Fluid, Directional and Static Imprints, respectively? Presumably, some form of alchemical component which attacks Ink would dispel some Imprints, unless specific Inks (Thinking along the lines of Waterproof/Permanent Markers) are used to eliminate this weakness? So most imprinters would use the coloured special inks, but in a pinch, you could use regular inks? How is this for a limitation? Every Person can only create one Imprint at a time - with the size of that imprint being determined by the strength, concentrations, quality of ink and brush, etc. Creating a second one, dispells another. This creates an interesting dynamic. If two "Duelists" fire Imprinted Bullets at one another, they can shield themselves, buy imprinting a wall - but if they do, their own bullet disapears. creating a ladder, requires jumping, then quickly forming a new rug, as the old disappears. This would also force Imprinters to work together. *** As for worldbuilding, as long as the following are included I don't particularly mind. - At least one Creation myth, in which a God "Drew" the world. - At least one Creation Myth in which "Satan" grew jealous and tried to scribble it out. - At least one "Hero" myth, in which a Hero drew an entire Sailing Ship out of thin air to wage war/defend the ocean/to return home in. Any thoughts?
  7. I love this magic system. Kinda reminds me of elements of Elantris, Black Prism, The Rithmatist, and "Scribble-naughts". It looks really cool - and yet, I can already see some pretty cool limitations. You are limited in moving parts - Ie., you can make a bullet, but not a gun, so no summoning of tanks in the middle of a knife fight. I have a few questions: Is there anyway to dispell another's imprint? Is there a limit to the number of imprints one can make? Presumably, the "Brush" isn't a literal brush, but a tool of some other significance. Is there only one type of Brush - > Can different brushes create different imprints? Do imprints last long? Is an imprinted object visibly different? Is there any benefit to using the real object over an imprinted imitation? Have you read Sanderson's Three Laws? How have these influenced your decisions?
  8. Hehehehehe... He hasn't finished WoR! He thinks his mind is blown NOW... Just wait... Just wait... Welcome!
  9. Some serious ones, I think. There is some humerous ones here on this thread, and that is fine... Which order would you say suited me? I will stand alongside those hated and feared for their beliefs, even if I do not share them. I will not allow the actions of the few to twist my judgement of the many. I will not allow others to decide who I can and cannot love, nor will I make that decision for others. I will search for Truth in the Universe, and see Truth Universally. I will not forgive those who hurt innocents and blame their intended targets for the fate of those who fall in their place. I will fight against intolerance, ignorance and idiocy, no matter the odds. I will never look away, or shut my eyes from other's pain; When watching, is all that I can do.
  10. Ooooh... I like the thought of this... If Calamity - whatever it is - is a sentient creature, "Gifting" powers to people all over the world... Hmm...
  11. Confession scares the begeepies out of me every time, hence why I avoid whenever possible - and that's being born a Catholic, AND the only priests I've ever known being fantastic and kind men. The thought you've described to me there gives me shivers.
  12. The Second Arc of SAO was... different. The danger was no longer life and death, so they gave us a different Danger, for us to care that much about... Unfortunately, that meant Asuna became a "Princess in the Castle" which was very disappointing. Though did have a few good moments - I wish they had given at least one more partially successful escape attempt... Yui though, still makes me grin at the cuteness. I just wasn't as enthralled by the whole "Brother-Sister" Relationship, over the first, more interesting relationship of people trapped in a violent world trying to survive, and yet still lead "Lives" at the same time, as weeks becomes months and years... It was indeed inferior to the first arc, but not "Bad" as such... I was also just waiting for "Survivor" to become a thing... You know - a kinda mythological player, anyone who survived SAO, was noitcably better than anyone around them... But understandably, most never went near a game again.
  13. I am of the opinion now, that much of Yolen was destroyed during the Shattering - possibly by Odium or Ruin... And all that remains has been named Briaze. It would explain why Roshar is at the heart of a lot of Cosmere wide conflict... We also know there are Splinter's of Adonalsium on Roshar.
  14. Sword Art Online is very impressive...
  15. I think someone needs to ask if a Parshendi would enter a horneater pool without coming to harm.
  16. Soulmarked? Thaum is Latin for Magic (or it might be greek) So... Thaumarked?
  17. I heard a rumour that Charles Darce is playing the Master, but I am very weary of reading theories now, because five full scripts were leaked, and footage of six episodes has surfaced - without special effects and in poor quality.
  18. Well, my top three are: 1) The Cosmere (I consider it all one series) 2) The Belgariad/Mallorean 3) The Song of Ice and Fire 4) The Wheel of Time But I have read the first books in "The Gentleman's Bastards", "The Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne", "The Lightbringer" and am waiting to finish those before deciding on the 5th.
  19. I have seen a fan depiction of the Dalek Emperor's Nightmare Child... It looked like a Dalek Mutant, out of its shell, but a thousand times the size, towering over buildings... Like a cosmic Kraken... My favourite two parter probably has to be "The Impossible Planet" and "The Satan Pit"... That cliff hanger episode... with the voice of... something. Screaming. "THE PIT IS OPEN... AND I AM FREEEEEE!!!" I'll admit, when I read Ruin's release some years later I wondered if Sanderson was a Whovian. But as it happens, I am simply convinced he has a shard of awesomeness in him (See what I did there?) I am also a good fan of Blink, Amy's Choice, The Girl Who Waited, The End of Time, Human Nature/Family of Blood, The Parting of the Ways, Doomsday, and Journey's End... Anyway - that''s my two pence. Its a fantastic series.
  20. If only we had some evidence as to where the Trellish religion came from... I like the idea - but it seems very speculation. Its possible, that Trell was a God worshipped in ancient Scadrial, and also by an Ancient Scadrielian world-hopped. We know world hoppers emerge from the Purelake - so perhaps this same world hopper brought the religion to Roshar? It would be a case of planetary social transmission rather than a Shard. Its a nice thought though.
  21. I wasn't expecting a happy ending - but I was expecting "An Ending". We just got... nothing. No sugar Bowl. No Great Unknown. Nothing. It was so disatisfying - I think it was the first book I ever put down and said "What a waste of time."
  22. UGH! A Series of Unfortunate Events! I had forgotten... The End was the most disappointing thing I have ever read.
  23. Thud, and Nightwatch are two of my all time favourites.
  24. Yes. Reaper Man, Soul Music, Hogfather, Thief of Time, all feature Mort's Legacy.
