This video has sparked a 9 hour long argument that has caused 4 of my friends to cannabis each other, I thought it was hilarious, and immediately thought of this thread.

(Let's not pretend the show has not had absolutely abysmal moments)

Please stay on topic, we're talking about, the Doctor Who; not Jojo 's Bizarre Adventure.

The episode with the blowjob pavement wasn't even that bad. The story about some people getting together because they somehow noticed the doctor but have no idea who he is and whats going on and the doctor himself barely showing up in the whole episode was an interesting idea. That ending though...yeah...

Is that where they lock each other in a phone booth and toke up a storm? Or is it where they hold each other down and inject them with cannabis like the Very Special Anti-Drug Messages of lore?

Also the monster was literally invented by a 9 year old. Which makes the blowjob thing even more inappropriate.

Look, they didn't talk about blowjobs! All we know is that a face stuck in a piece of pavement talked about having a sexlife with its human male partner! It could be anything! Maybe they connected on a higher plane or something? Thats possible right?

I think im in the minority here because I actually like dr who. I wish it was better but its usually fun enough.

I like the idea of a female dr but I dread the implementation of it. I don't really trust the production staff to do this in a good way and expect to hear the line "but you cant be the dr you're a woman" multiple times alongside many shallow womens rights episodes (not that they are bad in concept but they i fear they will be cheesy as hell and not do the subject matter justice).

Its kind of like, you could do something great but in your heart of hearts you know they are going to gently caress it up.

I loved Doctor Who under Davies and have watched a handful of the old series, but I hate what Moffat did to it. If Moffat were still in charge, I'm sure his sexism would ruin any potential. I don't know enough about Chibnall to guess how it will end up, and past work doesn't necessarily indicate future work anyway. Moffat wrote some of the best single episodes of DW under Davies, but he's been terrible as a showrunnner, going back to the same well over and over and refusing to follow through on any of the big ideas that he hints at.

EmmyOk posted:

Broadchurch is amazing.

I tried to watch Doctor Who once and the first few episodes didn't do much for me and then they had an episode about shapeshifting aliens who could only be detected because they couldn't stop farting. That killed the almost zero interest I already had for it but I'm glad nerds are protecting the sanctity of the farting aliens.

One thing I've never understood is how people can take one small part of a story and ignore everything else in the episode. Yeah, farting aliens was dumb, but there was a ninety minute story around it that I thought was pretty good at the time. Yeah, turning Moaning Myrtle into a literal object trapped in concrete was awful, but the rest of it was interesting. Yes, the Doctor making a spread-arm Jesus pose surrounded by glowing light while forgiving the Master was on-the-nose symbolism, but it was in a three part story about the dangers of the surveillance state and the fundamental flaws of humanity. Conversely, in the Moffat era you had a handful of really cool moments embedded in stories that don't make sense where everyone acts like an rear end in a top hat.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I feel like a lot of fans that have strong opinions of a new thing in an old series hasn't really followed the thing since they were young.

I liked the Moffit Doctor Who stuff just as much as the Davies Doctor Who stuff :colbert:

I just really like Doctor Who, but i'm not going to emotional invest myself in a loving TV show (that was original literally created for children) to the point that I care about other's opinions.

Also, Capaldi was a kick rear end Doctor with some really bad starter episodes.

for some reason Chelsea Manning was arguing with one of the stupidest figureheads in gamergate. she posted a pair of emoticons in reply to one of his tweets.

He's saying that such a reply is harassment.

he's also longing for the time when it was easier to troll SJWs, apparently.

I miss the good old days, back when i could harass people without fear of also being harassed in return. I wish they'd go back to crying in the corner so that I wouldn't have to cry in this corner.

I don't think so. He was more about the organic kind of harassment where you set your followers on people who say things you don't like.

The ant thing is doubly funny to entomologists because https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamergate

quote:

A gamergate (/ˈɡæmərˌɡeɪt/) is a mated worker ant that is able to reproduce sexually, i.e. lay fertilized eggs that will develop as females.

Eccleston's unapologetic Northern accent was one of the best things about his Doctor, and the show has always kinda picked on the actors' real and/or affected accents, too. Tennant using his real accent in one episode, "lots of planets have a North", Cassandra whining about Rose's chavvy accent, multiple jokes about Capaldi and Amy Pond being Scottish, etc. Northern accents are always great and I hope there's plenty of playful ribbing on her accent (if she uses one).

I think my favourite dumb line in Doctor Who came in the Matt Smith episode with the old woman with the parasite:

"In the wrong hands this technology could be catastrophic!"
"Do you know what these are doctor? *raises her arms* The wrong hands...:smug:"

Eccleston's run was only one series long but it's still in my mind the strongest overall season of the rebooted franchise. Even with the farting aliens getting three episodes and a bit of a rushed relationship with Rose, he was just so much fun in the role. Shame he only got one run and he was pretty ambivalent about the whole ordeal after the fact, but that didn't stop him from leaving a mark. Wanna see the new Doctor get ribbed on for some hackneyed game of thrones references where she starts mimicking the redhead who mocked Jon Snow's yorkshire accent.

Oh well I didn't like anything I saw the farting just stood out in particular.
