Carbon dioxide posted:What's crazy to me is that alt-right edgelords are still posting memes and poo poo about how last season was a 'failure' caused by the Doctor being a woman. Because nobody was watching it (except for those record numbers of viewers)! And the episodes were all bad (except that most of them were critically lauded)!

Yeah but if you don't count the record ratings and the high appreciation index figures, then things don't look so rosy do they!  As I'm sure others have mentioned, it's particularly irritating because there are quite a few issues with the last season that definitely need improvement (like the editing) but those tend not to get discussed or really analyzed much because of dumbshits who are super mad because apparently the core defining feature of the Doctor for all these decades wasn't the sense of adventure, the empathy for close friends, the championing of moral causes or the rejection of hate but was actually all about... having a penis?

Doctor Who is quite possibly the best-placed show to gender-swap the lead actor, since the Doctor's gender is irrelevant in 99% of episodes and the show has a simple in-universe mechanism for explaining the change. Plus we had 3 seasons of Lady Master for people to acclimatise to the inevitable change. And yet people still lost their minds about it  .

It was utterly ridiculous. The basic premise of the Doctor is that the Doctor is an alien from Gallifrey who travels through time and space with one or more companions. Whether or not the Doctor has a cock is completely immaterial to the premise and it's so stupid that people lost their minds.

The older I get, the more I come to believe that you can't negotiate with misogynists. Maybe they'll change their ways, and great, if they do, maybe not, probably not, but you can't talk them out of it, or bargain them out of it, because it's not a position they entered into rationally in the first place. So you just need to accept that there will be a lot of shitheads out there, and not center your own actions or behavior around trying to appease them. They can  .

Someone itt a long while ago put it perfectly by saying 'the doctor is an immortal shape shifting alien who makes a policy of transgressing every norm and stepping over every boundary, why should gender be the one hard limit?', and they were quite right. The Doctor is a set of values, and those values are unisex.

My stepdaughter loves Jodie and after a few years of cosplaying as characters from My Hero Academia she's going as Thirteen for Halloween, down to actually spending her own money for Jodie's sonic screwdriver instead of just borrowing mine. The loving haters can loving gently caress the gently caress loving right the loving gently caress off. I have that embroidered on a tea towel at home.

This is adorable, and as it was mentioned earlier really makes me happy for the future of the fan base. Y'know, once a certain vocal portion fucks right on off (dies, you know they won't give up watching with breath in their lungs to complain. Also, I want that towel. A cursory google hasn't found me much, was that purchased or made for you? I may have to commission one if it's the latter.

Davros1 posted:One week from today I had to check what Mission to the Unknown was, and now I'm entirely, 100% on board with this. This is kinda the perfect way for them to handle this one. For other people who don't know off the top of their heads, Mission to the Unknown was the only one-part story of Classic Who (which also means it's one of the completely lost ones), and the only story to have no appearances by the Doctor, the TARDIS, or any companions. So it's basically the only story that you theoretically could replace by just re-shooting the whole thing without any big recasting problems.

the trailer shows an admirable effort on the part of the people involved in the project, and i don't want to come across as slamming on them because it's absolutely cool to see people putting in that kind of work, but it also confirms my belief while listening to the The Daleks' Master Plan that those creatures, especially on a cheap 60s BBC budget (or, here, a student project budget) are better left to the imagination in terms of how they infect and transform their victims. they're frightening when you listen to them and hear the effects and the implications, but once you actually see it on that level it becomes extra silly (i know "extra silly" is the show's bread and butter but like, for as cheap and silly as they are, something like the original Cybermen are friggin' creepy when you take their concept, voice, and everything all together. the Varga are just silly)

They seem to do it all the time but I wish they were a bit less dramatic with the trailers. Don't really need the Inception horn for a Doctor Who reconstruction, lads.

You can see fingerprints and handmarks on the black Dalek  I mean that in a good way, you can see the sheer effort that went in. I'd actually love to see a version of this in standard def too, as it looks a little oddly too clean and crisp (what an odd thing to be "complaining" about)

I love, love, love the fact that they did a 1:1 recreation of every element, right down to props and VFX. Even on a student budget, a half century later they could have made it look so much "better" and more modern.

The photos own and the article rules too, especially the last line which I'll leave you all to read yourself. However, this section was too good not to quote: quote:In 1972, after touring the working men’s clubs of Britain, the roadshow received an invitation to perform in Israel, where they alarmed and bewildered audiences for a week. “They thought they’d booked the Glen Campbell Roadshow,” says McCoy. “They eventually forgave us.”
