Can't you just buy followers, like it's not even all that expensive if you live in a "1st world" country? What do we even call the not developing nations anymore? I give up.

The hot new phrase is "Global South". "3rd world" is a relic of the Cold War. "Developing nations" presupposes some kind of linear path of progress where, like, Paraguay will eventually turn into another United States or Belgium once it "develops" enough. Granted, "Global South" is actively stupid as well, particularly since there are cases like North Korea being considered part of it, while South Korea isn't. Or Indonesia being part of it, while Australia isn't.

Consistent pronoun game Phallus.

Yeah I meant what do we call the nations formerly known as "first world". Aside from Empires, ofc.

Gotta admit, "Emerging Markets" is pretty great for the poor countries.

Yep, apparently I can't read. This is what happens when you've waited too long for new RLM content.

They posted the behind-the-scenes photos from the BotW shoot on April 15th. Hopefully that drops today or tomorrow.

I guess "colonized nations" would give the game away?

lmao that one was easily one of the worst of the Tennant run aside from the Agatha Christie giant alien wasp ep. the casual nature in which the show also condems its characters to fates worse than death is astonishing.

Doctor Who since it came back in 2005 has largely been terrible, it doesn't even have the quirky "here's your £5 special effects budget for the month, don't spend it all at once" charm that the original series did, and the fact that they're bringing back the guy who originally got it brought back in 2005 (and who is highly rumored to be bringing Tennant back with him) just shows that the BBC is desperate for it to be the hip new thing again, even if it's completely creatively bankrupt

Also the incoming returning showrunner wants to franchise the poo poo out of it, a la Disney and Marvel, so it's going to be even shittier his second time around

oh man, I remember the last time they tried to do a Doctor Who Spinoff. It starred the only good side character from the early reboot years and was about gay sluts killing monsters. And it was unwatchable.

The Eccleston season where they’re just recycling old sci-fi scripts and making all the props on a £10 budget are extremely charming imho.

Which is ironic since the returning showrunner, RTD, openly praised Whedon as a huge influence on his vision for the show's return, which at least explains why it's mostly terrible

It was a real waste of Capaldi, I like the Doctor being a grump, but he had a terrible run and it killed my interest in the series.

Oh yeah, Moffat definitely took his non-writing-related inspiration from Whedon

E: probably Tarantino too, with Karen Gillan being his Uma Thurman. No foot fetish stuff, but his scripts made it abundantly clear he was desperate to put the wood to her
