Autonomous Monster posted:That scene where the Doctor's sealing the crack in the power cells made me laugh. Oh, hey, look- it's a bloody great crack spewing radiation all over the room- I'll stick my head right over that, get a good dose going, yeah? Oh, look, the Doctor is fighting a giant crack in the wall! Yeah, that better not mean what it looks like.

No one responded to this, so I'm just going to ask directly: they're not really bringing back the crack in the universe, are they? Also, I've liked both episodes so far (though they probably should have cut the dinosaur out of Deep Breath). In two episodes, Clara has shown more clear personality than in half a season.

MattD1zzl3 posted:For me this is the disconnect. Despite them being the antagonists to the doctors motivations in the episode, i dont find them horrific or "Thuggish". Normal humans make arrangements to salvage derelict ships, care little for human life they dont know personally, and treat disabled relatives like poo poo. They recycled metal from derelict spaceships and made a deal with the doctor for the technology from his. Their actions did not constitute an immoral act. This is not to say we should ignore the misuse of minorities in "lower class" or antagonist roles in the media at large, but i think IN THIS CASE, and when it comes to doctor who we can give them the benefit of the doubt as they have shown themselves to be very progressive when it comes to sexuality and race relations. (They are "On notice" when it comes to gender) They were talented actors cast in a well written, believable role and we dont need to pretend racism isnt an issue to think that in the future a black family wont treat a relative badly or do a legally questionable thing. People have noticed that the number of non-white actors in DW has decreased since Moffat took over. In the Davies era we had Martha and Mickey, off the top of my head, who were significant, sympathetic characters of color. I can't think of any major POC characters in the Moffat era, so the fact that he finally cast three black actors and they were lower class thieves is troubling. In most cases with racism/sexism/other isms, it's not so much the individual act as the pattern.

Android Blues posted:I've finally decided to try watching Torchwood, and gosh, this would be almost good if John Barrowman as Captain Jack didn't feel like watching a sixteen year old in a school play. Eve Myles is really good! It's just...put her opposite Barrowman, and... Seriously? Most people say he's the best thing about Torchwood. I really liked all three seasons (I choose to ignore Miracle Day). Well, to each his/her own. I'll tell you what I tell everyone, though: If you don't want to watch all of Torchwood, at least watch Children of Earth. CoE is freaking brilliant, though very dark.

PriorMarcus posted:A man who dislikes Doctor Who is about to review a disliked episode of Doctor Who. Will he dislike it? It actually might be fun to see his reaction. It's a decent episode for a while, kind of like "Blink" in that it's a Doctor-lite episode about getting over your youthful obsessions and living your life. I really like the new characters, and Jackie shows unusual strength of character. But then the alien at the end is disgusting, with a face sticking out of his rear end, and then we get implied blowjobs from a stone Moaning Myrtle. Yeah, it could be fun to see a hatewatching of this episode.
