Tesla vs Edison "current wars" dramatisation

[Mike Coon]

Long-running BBC1 TV sci-fi time-travelling space opera "Doctor Who"
episode 4/10 at 19:10 on Sunday 19 January will apparently include
actors playing both Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison.

I wonder if they will explain AC/DC without getting into gender
considerations...

Mike.

I think the real hero is George Westinghouse and while he is acknowledged I do not think he gets the credit he deserves

Well it certainly wasn't Edison.
That Dr Who show went right down the shitter when the BBC predictably
decided to politicize it some years ago. So expect the AC/DC bit to be
portrayed gender-neutrally and white, male characters (if any) to be
extremely dumb.

"So expect the AC/DC bit to be portrayed gender-neutrally"

What AC/DC has to do with gender or how they'd portray two competing
types of power transmission tech "gender neutrally" must be something
only known to CD and the OP. beats me. maybe he's seen the script;

More likely they'll portray Tesla as some kind of misunderstood, shy
genius that never got the respect he deserved, and a kinder person than
he actually was, and Edison as crass and money-grubbing. and dumber and
crueler than he actually was.

Which while both men were white would probably not be an accurate
representation of history, either way.

You remind me of people in the 60 and 70s who ranted
about "peverted filth" such as "The Life of Brian"
without having even seen it.

I'm sure that since you are in the mindset to find such
things, that is what you will see.

"This programming is so perverted I had to watch it four times to be
sure how perverted it was" - most politicians who have wanted only
"wholesome" programming to be broadcast. For other people at least, I expect

Having said that, so far Dr Who has morphed into
a committee designed story that attempts to tick
all the inclusivity boxes

He stood by with his bank accounts and watched the boxing match,

There is at least one Lexx episode that does it pretty darned good,
and there is a Farscape episode too.

Far out, man... or is it woman?

For the not so progressive of us they still produce hetero-junction
transistors.

They are better at coming to some kind of agreement than gullible raving lunatics like Cursitor Doom.

He sees it as his duty to believe nine impossible things before breakfast and he isn't well organised enough to believe the same impossible things as the as the other gullible raving lunatics that he'd like to see on the same committee.

If you want a committee that can come to some kind of agreement, you have to exclude the Cursitor Doom look-alikes.

Twit; forgotten (again!) how to use your killfile to
avoid views you dislike?

BTW, your .sig "No deal? No problem!" is presumably
about Brexit.

That's true for people, *like you* and Putin, who
don't live in the UK. For those that do live here,
it will be a massive problem.

When the masses that voted for it find they've been
sold a dud and are poorer, who will they turn to?
Not the main parties that got us into this mess, but
fringe extremist parties - just as happened in 1930s
Germany.

And Cursitor Doom is the very model of a fringe extremist.

He wants the UK run by the kind of people who believe his fatuous conspiracy theories. It would be a disaster, but his kind of disaster.

Needless to say I don't share any of your assessment nor prognosis. I
still have children in the UK so naturally I have their best interests
in mind - "twit."

Cursitor Doom is the twit here. He believes what he reads in the Daily Mail and Russia Today, not to mention ZeroHedge. He has yet to work out that they lie to him to give kind of stories that he likes to read, having worked out that the "Cursitor Doom" fraction of the population doesn't like objective and accurate information, and rejects any publication that tries to give it to them.
