This is why I love characters, not the actors who portray them. This shit keeps happening

Spock or Superman? Pure and awesome. An actor who plays them though? Might turn out to be a creep.

I'll reserve judgement until the facts are known, but simply going by the apparent number of accusations there's likely to be some substance to them.

For me, I didn't like him when he was in Doctor Who, and I've not changed my mind since.

They're going to have to rewrite the 60th Doctor Who Anniversary Special now.

hmmm we should always consider innocent until proven guilty.

that said the weight of allegations suggests its sensible to suspend his current activities until the situation is resolved. I do always find that the value of the person accused affects the decision making though, take Cristiano Ronaldo for example, huge value to his team but accusations and his paying off the accuser are conveniently ignored.

A lot of people are just jerks. Fact of life.

He was nowhere near the 50th so I see no reason why. Plus the fact that you can't rewrite something that hasn't even been written yet.

That's how jokes work, yes.

I'm worried that even if Clarke is indeed proven guilty by any common sense standard, he'll get off free on some legal technicality like Cosby did yesterday.

Is he rich enough for that?

 

[XCV330]

wasnt he the one that just accused barrowman of harassment?

The connection between the story linked in the OP and Star Trek was tenuous, at best, and if we're going to use that as a jumping-off point to talk about other cases which have nothing whatsoever to do with Trek, then I think we're done here.
