Makes sense. Why else would they always be so angry, and hate having their relatives around?

Doctor Who also has been streaming free on Pluto for as long as I can recall - I don't mention it in the OP because FAST channels are hard to put into a box.

I don’t often watch Doctor Who on Pluto, because I don’t want to join in at the middle of some serial, but I definitely stumbled on Remembrance of the Daleks at some point relatively recently.

It’s funny to hear McCoy as a rarity, because Paradise Towers is the serial I’ve seen on there most often.

I think we're all tending to check it (and thus remember it) around the same time of day, so we all think our slice is the whole pie. Anyway, It'd be funny if they do in fact have 200 eps in rotation, they're just running through them so fast (and we're checking so anecdotally/haphazardly) we don't even notice. Y'know, I don't think I have ever watched Paradise Towers in its entirety. May need to rectify that this week, as the holidays bring me some needed free time (Beyond the usual BF binging during work).

Children in Need minisode today. I can't believe Doctor Who is back on TV, feels like literal ages since I last saw a new episode (even though Power aired just over a year ago).

In DW-adjacent news, if you're one of those people who can read the words "Steven Moffat" and "cancel culture dramedy" in the same article about his upcoming new TV show, and still look forward to watching it, well you have my sympathies.

2020 was ten years condensed into one, and having a year without Who on top of that makes it even worse ...What do you mean Jodie's run started five years ago

You must have just missed it - aside from the repeat run in 1999 where they discovered no one was spending 7 weeks to watch Doctor Who and the Silurians, pivoted to Genesis and abandoned the whole thing, you’re going back to the 92/93/94 repeats which included Battlefield!

It must have been those earlier ones, maybe I went on holiday after Revelation or something, or just slept in more. I definitely didn't have anything better to be doing!

Narsham posted:You've buried the lede: also starring Karen Gillan and Alex Kingston. I'm not surprised that Gillan and Kingston are in the show, considering that their DW characters were A)annoying as gently caress and B)given as much screentime by Moffat as he could possibly manage. I'll also add that I personally think the concept of "cancel culture" is a completely fake thing (mainly made up by aging comedians and right-leaning media personalities who are very "not mad" about people calling them out on their bullshit); so it's not in the least bit surprising to me that Moffat has not only decided to explore this fake idea, but to do it in a show about how it affects the career of a TV presenter who's also a middle-aged white guy.

The first season and a half of Morning Wars/The Morning Show already did this well enough

A show about a newsman who gets cancelled because he's recorded saying something that sounds bad out of context if you don't know that his best friend is a pedophile but is actually completely okay to say because his best friend is a pedophile but he can't explain this to the public because he needs to protect his best friend, the pedophile
