Well, I enjoyed that episode, but it seems like I’m in the
minority. But then as I get older, I tend to prefer quiet, gentle
short stories more than big, long epics, so it’s not surprising
I welcomed a breather episode as a nice change from all
the action.

And, as I’ve said before, Chibnall’s small-scale character
sketches are much better than his attempts at plots.

It was good to learn more about Vinder’s background
at
long last. My only complaint is that he wasn’t atoning for
a serious crime, which would’ve given him some interesting
moral complexity. Instead he really is a genuinely good
guy who did nothing wrong and has a devoted, loving woman
looking for him. (It was also kind of obvious that he would
turn out to be who she was looking for. Why else introduce
her in the episode that gives his backstory?)

It was also great to see the past connection between Swarm
and the Doctor. I didn’t care for the look of old Swarm
though. His appearance has definitely improved with age!

Talking of changed appearances, it was a pity we couldn’t
see more of Jo Martin’s pre-Hartnell Doctor, but I loved
the brief glimpses we got. (Could COVID restrictions be
they couldn’t actually show her with any other people?)

Maybe those restrictions are also why this episode had
so few guest actors, with the regulars doubling up in multiple
roles. Whatever the reason it added a wonderful surreal
atmosphere to the episode, like no other. Of the few guests
there were, it was interesting to see Dot from Line Of Duty
playing an equally corrupt character. He’s probably typecast
for life! (I’m a bit confused though about why Vinder was
so shocked to learn that someone literally called the Great
Serpent wasn’t entirely trustworthy!)

For me, the weakest parts of the episode were those that
were only there to tie into the wider epic. Why is a Weeping
Angel stalking Yaz? Is the mysterious old woman the White
Guardian or a future Doctor? Who started the Flux? And
what else does Karvanista know that he isn’t telling?

Forgot to add: I’m not quite sure what happened with the
Mouri going backwards in time to replace themselves or
whatever it was they did to fix things, but that’s always
the problem with the resolution to timely-wimey episodes
anyway. The set-up is always better than the solution.

As n tends to infinity, the Sum of (1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + ... + 2^n)
also becomes infinity.

So, you gave the episode (1+infinity)/10.

That’s a very generous score!

Well only simpletons might have trouble with the plot. Looking
at what you have regurgitated then you had problems with the
plot and missed loads of stuff. Half the stuff you write aren't
even intelligible sentences.

> Bel is out there surviving. Bel is Vinder's friend.

Hmm a bit more than that. You did catch that she was pregnant
didn't you?

> Why did Swarm want to spring this trap?

What - do you mean ths trap in particular? Because it is obvious
why he wants to destroy the Doctor. The Doctor (in Jo Martin form
with Jodie Whittaker along as some sort of quantum leap presence
albeit a bit glitchy) bested him and Azure in the far past and
caused his imprisonment (which we saw in part 1).

> WE Know Claire is a hosting from part 1.

There was no character called Claire in this episode. Claire
was the woman attacked by the Weeping Angels in part 1.

> Why did The Doctor not address the Weeping Angel issue?

Because it is a 6 part story and if everything was addressed in
1 part then it would be very rushed and there would be 5 parts
with nothing to do.


So onto my thoughts.

Structurally this is clear it is an epsiode that isn't a straight-
forward episode in terms of introduce threat or monster and deal
with it. It simultaneously introduces Bel and expands Vinder's
backstory so we know what has gone on that resulted in the shit
posting he had in episode 1. Through Bel's story we see Daleks and
Cybermen taking advantage of the Flux - so that is three time capable
races all trying to carve out their individual sectors. This was very
deftly done without requiring a Dalek and a Cyberman episode. We
also got to see how Swarm was defeated way back (although we don't
know who two of the Doctor's companions were at that point, although
we know one is a Lupari). We get hints of Weeping Angels for the
cliff-hanger and we know that they will return for their episode.
One interesting thing is that the Angels seem to be able to travel
from electronic device to reality - I don't think we have seen that
before.

Finally we are also introduced to Awsok (the shady old lady played
by Barbara Flynn) who may well be ultimately pulling the strings.
She didn't seem to be a very sympathetic figure.

If you haven't realised by now I liked this episode a lot and it
is some of the best story-telling we have seen for a long time.
Unfortunately I think the effects are uneven - some are really good
but at other times the CGI and matte work looks a little obvious.

We saw it in the Moffat era, an Angel emerging from a

about and never seen again until now.

What is infinity?

Nope. As n tends to infinity the entire series behaves as if it were
equivalent to -1, satisfying all the processes of addition and
multiplication. This is exactly the way negative numbers are represented
in binary using a modified version of the 2-adic numbers.

If you add ...11111111 and ...00000001 you will get ...00000000.

I gave you a clue with 10, which is 2 in binary.

Using the Euler summation you have y^0 + y^1 + y^2 + y^3 + y^4 + ... =
1/1-y, which for 2 is -1.

if s = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + ...
= 2 + 2(1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + ...)
= 1 + 2s

therefore 0 = 1 + s, so s = -1.

You’re adding increasingly large positive numbers. Nothing
negative to bring it down, just more and more positive
numbers to drive it further and further up.

How does that give you -1?

Suddenly you start using two’s compliment binary, even
though the initial formula was written in base 10 and the
infinite upper limit to n doesn’t work in Ring systems like
two’s complement.

Goalposts. Shifting. Again.

That doesn’t work if y>1. And since 2>1, you’re just adding
increasingly large positive numbers to drive the total further
and further up.

At least I now understand your misunderstanding.

You seem to be confusing two’s complement (which is a
binary method of denoting an algebraic Ring system) with
regular binary notation of the integer Field, and also treating
2 as if it’s less than one. It’s no wonder you got the wrong answer.

It makes no difference. The only thing that matters is how you define
the distance between the numbers.

The sum of the sequences is zero distance away from -1 if you break
everything up into an infinite number of subdivisions.

It's not shifting the goal posts. It's called changing the metric, and
I'm perfectly allowed to do that. The rules of mathematics and physics
are exactly the same in both metrics and so is the answer. Mathematica's
and physicists use this strategy all the time to solve prolbems. Some
problems are easier to solve that way.

How do you think Einstein got General Relativity to work inside black holes?

How do you think Fermat's Last Theorem was solved?

It works perfectly well since it was designed to sum up divergent series.

I should have typed = 1 + 2(1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + ...) is
= 1 + 2s

No wonder you got confused. My fault for the typo.

Black and white are exactly the same colour. Everyone should know that.
Through technically they are not colours. Black is just an absence of light.

Nope. How do you think two's complement works and what do you think the
mathematical proof is?

What you're actually doing is using a modified system of 2-adic numbers
where the sum of all of the powers of 2 to infinity adds up to -1, which
is why -1 is represented in binary in that manner, and obeys the rules
of addition and multiplication. The limitation is each binary word has
to assume an extension to infinity, and the limited word size limits the
magnitude of the positive and negative numbers you can represent and
manipulate.

As (1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + .... 2^(n-1)) also approaches infinity ......
so wouldn't (1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + ... + 2^n) actually approach twice
infinity?? ;-P

JO: Look.
(The scanner shows William inside a pyramid shape. He was too ill to act, bless

DOCTOR 1: [on scanner] Ah, there you are. I seem to be stuck up here. Hmm? Hmm?
Oh, so you're my replacements. Huh. A dandy and a clown. Have you done anything?
DOCTOR 2: Well, we've, er, assessed the situation.
DOCTOR 1 [on scanner]: Just as I thought. Nothing.
DOCTOR: Well it's not easy, you know.

Get out of chronic hysteresis mode Dannyboy!
