I got some "Doctor Who is dead, it's over" videos recommended after Wild Blue Yonder, which I felt was quintessentially Doctor Who and what the show is all about but because the Doctor maybe likes fellas now, it's all over.

LividLiquid posted:I hope they're at least going to acknowledge that there was already a The Girl Who Waited and her husband, who also waited thousands of years. The Girl Who Waited. The Husband Who Waited. So you're saying The One Who Waits is...River Song?!  Random Stranger posted:The nice thing I can say about the Chibnall era is the show looked great. Both in terms of how everything was designed and how it was shot. Chibnall probably wouldn't have made the catch scene in The Giggle look so boring. Hell, the Rasputin thing was Dhawan misreading the script and going wild improvising...

Astroman posted:The Girl Who Waited. The Husband Who Waited. The Doctor confronts the One Who Waits: "Your mad ambition stops here!" The One Who Waits turns around: "Hello, Sweetie." WHO. BE. CONTINUED. That won't happen since River Song is Moffat's pet character, but I could see it working. My stupid rear end guess is the Valeyard. I know every time there's been a mystery villain in the revival people have gone, "Aha! The Valeyard!" but at least the Valeyard has a clear connection here. Watch it be Fenris or something like that.

Skyl3lazer posted:My only problem with playing catch was that it was obvious the ball wasn't being thrown. Like, they'd smash cut to someone acting like they just caught a ball they had clearly been holding. That's my story. I believe it was brought up earlier, but supposedly the reason for this was because Ncuti kept fumbling the ball, so in all of his 'catches' he's just palming it.

Rewatched the Curator scene from DOTD and yup, it's him. Revisiting the "old favourites", saying "perhaps you are me"... Most importantly, notice what the Curator tells the Doctor in that scene. The Doctor believes the painting has two titles but the Curator corrects him, saying it's "all one title". He's literally fusing two titles into one, an inverse of bigeneration.

Mr.Radar posted:I've been getting those kinds of videos in my recommendations since I started watching Doctor Who content after The Star Beast came out despite having tuned the algorithm pretty well through careful pruning of my watch history so it doesn't usually recommend that kind of poo poo to me. I basically only use YouTube to listen to albums by 70s Japanese singer-songwriters, and I got recommended that DW IS COMING FOR YOUR KIDS?!?! one immediately after watching that trolly RTD clip that got posted in this thread. The algorithm just loves people complaining about The Woke Agenda.

Slyphic posted:Y'all don't have youtube suggestions permanently blocked? That's like Internet hygeine 101 stuff I taught my kids when they were old enough. It's good to block, but my problem is that I don't want to block something just because they don't like it. Sometimes, the YouTube thumbnail will make it easy for me and say "Doctor Who is WOKE now!". But when it's not obvious, I don't want to block people who have legit criticisms so I open their channels in incognito to get a vibe check. So far, I'm batting a thousand for "Didn't like Doctor Who" matching with "It's because of 'politics'". I still have my own opinions (which is I liked the episode and wasn't too far out for me), but I like being challenged.

Rochallor posted:I basically only use YouTube to listen to albums by 70s Japanese singer-songwriters, I think that might actually be why. I watch a lot of stuff on Youtube, and my recommendations rarely ever go rogue, and certainly not with more than one recommendation among hundreds. If anything I feel like it's over-focused for me, it feels weird when a 26-view Pokemon video turns up on my recommendations, that is... concerningly confident. If I had to guess, the algorithm wants a certain amount of variety so that it can show you more of its stuff; for a fairly regular Youtube user it'll have a lot to work with and be able to get things fairly accurate, but for someone whose entire watch history is old Japanese music and then apparently specifically current Doctor Who, it's gonna grasp at whatever straws it's got to get any variety at all.

In 2015, most social media sites changed their algorithm to focus on engagement. The algorithm is showing you inflammatory poo poo because a techbro with no sense of right or wrong wants you either mad or addicted to right wing bullshit. Left wing stuff tends to be too dry and based on fact for that to work since left wingers tend to actually back up their arguments and use evidence. Right wingers just do inflammatory stuff because their stuff is all culture war clickbait poo poo. If you don't constantly block it without watching until the algorithm realizes you aren't a mark, you get that poo poo.

Eh, we've all seen the attempts by soft left grifters and clout chases, with wacky, threadbare "X is problematic" stances that don't hold up to scrutiny. There's a Doctor Who twitter that's pretty much exclusively dedicated to "documenting" manufactured outrage with a liberal bent. They're just quite as well entrenched or as successful because they don't have the financial backing that right wing speakers often have, but they're very much a thing.

2house2fly posted:throwing this bullshit at RTD just exposes how impotent it really is. This isn't two girls kissing in the background in Star Wars or whatever these dipshits normally complain about. This is a TV show that was already woke 18 years ago when Davies made it the biggest thing on TV actively chasing new heights of wokeness previously unheard of. You can't respond to a TV show bellowing "we're here we're queer" at you with "regrettably it appears the TV show is woke now". Toothless beyond imagining. Basically: HD DAD posted:This episode couldn’t have been more RTD unless he judo-chopped the camera man and directly screamed to the audience “I’m back, gayer, taller, and you cannot stop me”. God bless that Welsh Giant as he strides across the country bellowing laughter amongst the clouds

I just came up with this and I feel like I have to write it down somewhere or else I'll forget (thanks ADHD). It's about "He who waits", the one The Toymaker was so scared of and ran away. It could be an original character that's new to the series and, if so, I'm really curious what it'll be like. But if it's a classic villain, I have a theory. Who's been waiting a long time. I mean a loooooong time. Then, almost got a chance to conquer the universe, but was made to wait even longer. Long enough to theoretically die inside the time tunnel between Earth and Mars. Sutekh!

I thought it was that the events of the episode changed history subtly and it hadn't caught up to the Doctor yet. Or it could just be that the Curator, knowing how things really went, personally thought of the titles that way, and since he's in charge of the gallery that's what it's going to be.

keep punching joe posted:The tardis being a police box in the 60s made sense when they were everywhere, but since there's only a handful left these days it should adopt a new shape, like an American candy store for example, or a phone repair shop. The Tardis should be a vape shop and the sonic screwdriver should have a vape.

I don't think Davies did the "Every Doctor is also out there" thing to be the coolest or whatever. I think he was just trying to open the door wide open for prior Doctors and companions to do televised adventures and not have to care about their age, because a huge corporation drove a dumptruck full of money up to Cardiff, he's as much of a Doctor Who nerd as some of us are, and he wants to see Colin Baker yell a monologue at a sun if the revival is popular enough to warrant some kind of "prior Doctors" anthology spin-off.
