After The War posted:I'd imagine it has mostly to do with who wrote it and (more timely) its connection to the first Dirk Gently book. Oh, most assuredly. It lends an air of legitimacy to our show with plastic wrap monsters and the worst use of bluescreen imaginable. My favorite adaptation of Shada might actually be the novelization by noted shithead Gareth Roberts. Never really liked his televised stories but he did a good job with the book.

Yeah, "The new doctor will get a revamped sonic screwdriver" is about much news as "The new doctor will get their own costume" at this point.

Every day, each one of us in this thread can wake up and say "No matter how bad things get, no matter how bad I feel about myself, at least I'm not Ian Levine. e: in case his "Goodbye... forever!" post didn't show how he feels about a woman being the Doctor, here were his tweets at the time: quote:THIS IS REALLY poo poo – IT SUCKS – IT'S STUPID – KILLS THE SHOW. I want nothing more to do with it and I HATE CHRIS CHIBNALL – HE CAN gently caress OFF quote:CHRIS CHIBNALL MAKES ME WANNA VOMIT Bicyclops fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Oct 11, 2017 |

"I now wish I hadn't." gently caress you, Ian Levine. I appreciate you saved the episodes but wishing you hadn't because the BBC is making an official version of one of their own commissioned but never-completed scripts? Jesus Christ.

Was it here that someone posted an excerpt from some singer's autobiography who had worked with Ian, and the big takeaway was Ian had an assistant whose sole job was to run and get Ian candy, which he wouldn't share?

Astroman posted:Yeah, and I've heard some of those. I'm thinking more history altering, like the Doctor is shot by a Kaled in the middle of Genesis of the Daleks and turns into Peter Davison, who has to finish out the episode, confront Davros, and decide if he has that right, while hanging with Harry Sullivan. Then meeting up with Sarah Jane at the end and they go off for new adventures together. There is a bit in the Titan comics where something hits the doctor and he regresses a regeneration or two, continuing as eccleston for a bit.

I think that's Gary Barlow's biography. I'm still sad the story about Levine chasing Barlow and the rest of Take That out of the recording studio in the middle of the night is apocryphal.

Bicyclops posted:What was the deal with Richard Franklin again? I remember people referring to something obliquely in this thread, but I could never figure out what it was. The only thing I really know about him is that he was active in politics and skewed increasingly right as time has gone on. He started out as a lib dem candidate, then a referendum party candidate, then a UKIP one, then formed his OWN party with such aims as: £200 per week Citizens' Income for Pensioners and Students 25% Seats in Parliament reserved for Small parties & Independents EU Diversity through greater National Sovereignty Freedom and Achievement through firm but fair Discipline at home, in school and in society And now he seems to have formed something else called the 30-50 coalition which seems to be mostly wanting another dozen seats in parliament that the big parties aren't allowed to have.

Thanks, I always figured it was something like this. The "open secret" references to Weinstein and seeing so much of him in The Green Death last night put it in my mind. Show biz let's too many people get away with a lot.

Show biz let's too many people get away with a lot. I admit I spent a good chunk of the past few days mixing up Harvey Weinstein with Harvey Feirstein, and feeling a little confused at the reports of females being assaulted. (Weinstein can gently caress the gently caress off) With The Orville scratching my classic sci-fi itch, I really need to get back into classic Who. The last serial I watched was over a year ago and that was episode one of The Face of Evil. CobiWann fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Oct 11, 2017 |

MrL_JaKiri posted:I wouldn't call it mean spirited exactly; Rick himself is a jerk, yes You definitely get the impression that it's more meanspirited than it actually is when you don't watch the show. Until recently I'd never seen an episode, just clips and things and that VR game and thought that it was. Watching the show, nah. It's not that mean spirited. Rick can be an rear end in a top hat, but largely he means well. Sort of.
