Sent in my guesses, for the first time in a long time. What the hell. Question (can't remember if this has been covered before). I know Toxx occasionally changed his mind on a grade for a previous episode based on the one he's just watched. Which grade counts for the contest? The original or new?

Season 5 has a few clunkers (I mean, of course it does, it's a season of Doctor Who), but it has the best premiere I've seen of the show (haven't watched much of the old series), Amy's Choice, Vincent and the Doctor, The Lodger, and a finale that I really think delivered. The way it played with Rory's death was really great. A premiere and finale that fit well together, with some truly great episodes in between, is better than I've come to expect from Doctor Who.Hemingway To Go! posted:My hope for chibnall is that there's more of a focus on individual writers with crrrrazzzzzy ideas, and that they discover new talent. This is what I'm hoping as well. Season 8 is far from my favorite season, but it got two great episodes from Jamie Mathieson, who came out of nowhere for me. Go find more like that.

it's not that different than what Oxx posted here in this week's review:Lick! The! Whisk! posted:Random Thoughts: He was laughing about how, after he slipped up and said the wrong one, that we should just get rid of gender pronouns. He wasn't saying, "Can't say anything these days", he was joking, "I can't talk because I keep loving it up, let's just all agree to use the same thing for everyone."

CityMidnightJunky posted:In the show Capaldi switched genders mid sentence when talking about the Master depending on which regeneration he was referring to. But yeah, I can see how that would be a loving nightmare when writing extended amounts of prose, for both the writer and the reader. I agree with you to a point, but, as has come up recently in another Who thread, the Doctor is a bit of a different case. A regeneration, in a way, creates a new person, a specific identity. It's like 10 said, you die, another bloke walks away in your place. So when referring to previous incarnations specifically (as in "He was rather vain and regenerated into himself...") I can see using the gender of the incarnation you were referring to. Neither approach is really wrong, though. And yeah, all options are better than "they" and "their". They work when there's no other choice (you don't know the sex of someone you're referring to), but I just don't like them unless absolutely necessary.
