Topic: The Twin Dilemma


In the News (Tue 14 Feb 12)

  
  Double Trouble - The Twin Dilemma
One of the twins can then be maneuvered towards the distal (tip) end of the uterine horn, and reduced by exerting pressure using either the thumb and forefinger, or more usually the ultrasound transducer against the pelvis.
Twins detected after conceptus fixation must be treated differently from those identified prior to fixation.
If the twins are of a different size, and located in a non-adjacent position, then as with same size conceptus, the most convenient and non-viable appearing conceptus should be selected for reduction.

 Prisoner's dilemma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is allied to the twin dilemma of encouraging those people whom one would aid to indulge in behaviour that might put them at risk.
One resolution of the dilemma proposed by Douglas Hofstadter in his Metamagical Themas is to reject the definition of "rational" that led to the "rational" decision to defect.
The prisoner's dilemma is therefore of interest to the social sciences such as economics, politics and sociology, as well as to the biological sciences such as ethology and evolutionary biology.

 The Twin Dilemma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Twin Dilemma is a serial in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in four twice-weekly parts from March 22 to March 30, 1984, the first to star Colin Baker in the title role.
Azmael explains to the Twins that Mestor usurped him as leader of Jaconda and outlines a plan to draw two outlying planets into the same orbit as Jaconda.
The Twins' genius is required to stabilise those planets in their new orbit.

 Twins Help
For example, one twin might have a red plaid comforter and a blue pillow, and the other twin might have a blue plaid comforter with a green pillow.
Many moms of twins find their babies not only are comfortable in one crib, but that they seem to prefer it.
Some sets of twins sleep better without their sibling's feet or fist in their face, so if you have just one crib, make sure you have a Plan B or none of you will be sleeping much.

 JoBS: The Twin Tower Dilemma
Twin Towers are an experiment that has a rather brief and spotty history.
In their second year together, the Twin Towers would be in the NBA Finals.
The other Twin Tower experiment was carried out by the New York Knicks of the mid- to late 1980's, playing Patrick Ewing and Bill Cartwright.

 The Twin Dilemma
Professor Sylvest is terrified by his twin sons, Romulus and Remus -- mathematical geniuses with the power to change reality on a massive scale, they don't have the maturity to accept the consequences of their actions.
Peri is frightened and confused by the Doctor's regeneration, and his new persona is not reassuring; brash, egotistical and arrogant, he dismisses his past incarnation as feckless and effete, and abandons his cricketing outfit for a garish, clashing patchwork coat.
Mestor arrives to study the twins in person, and orders Azmael to tell them the purpose of their work; once they realize they are working for a benevolent purpose they may no longer be so intransigent.

The twins are annoying (as child prodigies have a tendency to be) and the Jacondans are, with the exception of Barry Stanton's wonderfully melodramatic Noma, a little on the dull side.
The Twin Dilemma is your run-of-the-mill monster story featuring some ridiculous-looking monsters (based on slugs and birds), twin geniuses who are as interesting as spoilt milk (and badly portrayed to boot), and a B-movie villain.
Twin Dilemma probably suffers as being the regeneration story which most centres around the Doctor, the actual plot of the Jacodans, Gastropods, Azmael and the twins are forgotten about on many occasions - at times feeling like the background noise on what is really going on - the Doctor trying to sort his head out.

The Twin Dilemma might look like the cash-starved end-of-season four-parter it is, but it's doing better than The Caves of Androzani (where spy cameras are studio cameras, personal computers remote controls and laser guns replaced by machine guns with sparks added in post-production).
The disappointment that I feel when watching 'The Twin Dilemma' straight after 'The Caves of Androzani' must be similar to that which one would feel on having finally had sex with someone you have fancied for ages, only to discover that they have infected you with syphilis.
Mestor says of the twins "Take care not to blow their hearts or minds!" and he later orders Azmael to give the twins artificial respiration when he tells him that they are tired.

"Twin Falls Idaho" is a moody, unique, and engaging story that gives a whole new meaning to the word "threesome".
Francis and Blake Falls are twin bothers who call on Penny to show them a good time for their birthday.
She turned to religion and became a nun for redemption, but her realization as to the seriousness of their health is gut-wrenching and emotional.

I'm a big twin peaks fan, but the quality of these videos is absolutely horrible....episode 24 was totally unwatchable, it was mostly static, and the other tapes are also of similar quality.
Twin Peaks is the crowning achievement of David Lynch.
It may not be entiely convincing that the twins are really together inframe (the split screen effects are as corny as they get) and the story may not be entirely original...but TWIN DRAGONS is nevertheless, one of the best Jackie Chan movies ever...

I remember sitting in anticipation during The Twin Dilemma as the Sixth Doctor slinked round the TARDIS console, his face becoming brightly menacing and then lunged at Peri’s throat after declaring her an alien spy.
The Twin Dilemma is centrally about him, and Attack of the Cybermen is (in theory) a story of him and his misjudgement of Lytton.
Twin Dilemma and Castrovalva before it, it's nature a violent biological process was emphasised - the Doctor's brain was physically reforming itself and his mania was in essence an illness; he was therefore not responsible for his actions.

 Siamese twin dilemma
Reports highlighted the difference in the new case with that of Grace and Rosie Attard, who were separated after a lengthy legal battle in an operation that resulted in the death of one of them.
In the current case, May is said to have accepted that separation would result in only one twin surviving, but experts pointed to crucial differences.
In this case, both twins, named Natasha and Courtney, appear to be developing similarly, although one is reportedly stronger than the other.

So in The Twin Dilemma we have her sporting a blouse that appears to have been made out of deckchair material; and similarly Hugo Lang, who spends quite a bit of his time with the two regulars, acquires a jacket that seems to consist of sections of garishly coloured tinfoil.
Anthony Steven's scripts for The Twin Dilemma, apparently heavily rewritten by Eric Saward, leave much to be desired.
Ian Clarke, also reviewing the story in TARDIS Volume 9 Number 1, highlighted some of their deficiencies: 'The general theme of a power to change matter by mathematics being misused and thus resulting in a threat to the universe is hardly original...

On Earth, mathematical genius twin brothers Romulus (Paul Conrad) and Remus (Andrew Conrad) are kidnapped by Professor Edgeworth (Maurice Denham).
Mestor claims to need the twins' mathematical prowess to provide the energy equations required to realise his plan of placing the Jocondan sun's outer two planets into orbit around Joconda, thus providing a ready-made larder facility.
Released as "The Twin Dilemma" in the UK [May 1992] and Australia/New Zealand [May 1993] (BBC catalog #4783), US/Canada [October 1993] (WHV catalog #E1101); episodic format, cover illustration Andrew Skilleter.

 One twin eats, the other doesn't
To be honest I was concerned because one of the two eats very well and the other prefers milk instead of solids; when I told this to their pediatrician she told me not to worry because they are growing according to their percentiles and they are very healthy kids.
The little guy (he's the smaller one) eats like there's no tomorrow, but his sister is very fussy - she eats, on HER terms.....no way can that be changed.
It is also common for twins to be under the 50 percentile.

 Dr Who Twin Dilemma Review: Doctor Who t-shirts and DVD/video reviews from Androzani.com
We've always rated him as an actor - anyone who thinks he's OTT in Twin Dilemma because he just can't help himself has obviously never seen him as the super-controlled icy villain Paul Merroney in The Brothers - and he doesn't disappoint here either.
We like the strongly visual opening shot of the twins playing whatever that backgammony game is, and we love the surprise element of the quiet opening in a galaxy far, far away (or something) when you're expecting it to be all about the regeneration.
Most of the scenes with the Doctor and Peri yapping in the TARDIS are in those episodes too, and because we're most interested in character we think those are the strongest (yes, we know you think we're completely loony).

 Doctor Who LogBook - Introduction - The Colin Baker Years
In hindsight, the greater gap that would have been afforded by waiting until the new season to introduce the new Doctor might have helped.
But The Twin Dilemma, in which the Doctor donned a clashingly colorful patchwork coat, and later tried to strangle Peri (Nicola Bryant) in a bout of post-regenerative dementia, was met with consternation from casual viewers and diehard fans alike.
The 22nd season of Doctor Who was, for the most part, a great improvement over Twin Dilemma, but the making of that season posed problems of its own.

All these things conspired to make the Sixth Doctor one of the least favourites in the eyes of the fans.
Colin debuted at the end of Season 22, with the 6th story of the year being Peter Davison's swan song, and the 7th story, "The Twin Dilemma", Colin's debut.
This regeneration did not go so well, and the Doctor was extremely unstable, subject to frightful fits of cowardice, rage, bravado, condescension, and general unpleasantness.
