On paper it works for sure. The execution is what I found (drastically) lacking. I can totally buy the Absorbaloff as a literal representation of the lovely and nasty parts of fandom ruining everybody else's fun, but understanding that and being able to enjoy it were two different things for me.

The absorbaloff was literally made by a 12 year old and I refuse to believe any deep thought went into Love and Monsters whatsoever.

I’d rather watch Six strangle Peri and then have a mediocre episode than ever watch it again. That’s how strong my feelings are.

While I like Heaven Sent, I also kind of hate it for being the penultimate Moffat having to leave his mark with dumb changes to lore episode.

The Doctor's childhood scenes in Listen were pretty unnecessary. Hell Bent's Gallifrey and suddenly useless and powerless Rassilon is just the worst.

But in Heaven Sent he straight up killed the Doctor. Full stop. The character we've followed for 50+ years died for the dumbest of reasons.

And then a duplicated lump of flesh strolled off with his face.

Joke’s on you, that already happened to Five!

Every so often I stop and think about how wonderful Tom Baker's cameo in Day of the Doctor is, and how people will probably try to figure out a way to "fit it in" somewhere but you really don't need to because gently caress it, it was the 50th so they got in Tom and God bless 'em for it :allears:

It was a fine season. Not the dregs and nothing out of this world. Just fine.

The first of a Doctor’s seasons are almost always rough bc the writers are still adjusting to things. Series 12 should be a lot tighter.

I listened to The 8th Of March, big finish's box set for Women's Day. It was a mixed bag--River and Leela was good (and a rare team-up, which is nice), Ace and Benny was nice enough, Paternoster Gang was terrible, UNIT was OK. If their goal in putting in a Paternoster audio here was to sell people on the upcoming series then that is a hell of a miscalculation cause it's super bad

On a scale from Scourge of the Shadow to Nekromantia how bad is it

I really loved his transition in Utopia when he went from bumbling, cranking, sadly out-of-time but very well meaning scientist to full-on master, had that nice level of unsettling to it. It actually makes me think of Graham in the last episode of the previous season at the beginning where they find out Tim is on the planet. He has that subtle shift too in his manner that felt unsettling. Would have been great if they'd left it like that, but being Season 11 they had to pause the story and have an explicit conversation about how Graham was feeling and what he was planning to do next. The script got in the way of the acting too much in Season 11.

Not to worry. As one door closes, another opens. :stare:

I love Kinda. Davison is a good Doctor and he has good companions, I don't get why people are so down on him

He wasn't flashy, and when the show has problems juggling a large cast, it's pretty glaringly obvious. We've seen the same thing happen last series where some characters got lost in the shuffle in some episodes.

He's got some fantastic moments and lines ("Well, that's democracy for you") but since he's sandwiched between the overwhelming personalities that are the Bakers he kind of gets shuffled into the background.

I don't think the Space Force is particularly funny. The militarisation of space, something that didn't happen even during the darkest days of the cold war, is continuing to grow and we should all be terrified. How long before there are orbital weapons platforms and anti-sattelite weaponry?

Capaldi's last season was good though. Obviously imo.

Whitaker is being deeply under-served by very anaemic/flat out poo poo scripts, unfortunately. Also I do have some reservations about her Doctor's characterisation so far

Doctors always take a series/series-and-a-half to wear in, even when they're naturals at it like Smith. They have to find the groove so they can get a consistent personality going.

I think Whitaker's been great out of the box, personally. Just hasn't really had that "THIS is Thirteen, right here, in a nutshell" episode yet.

Also all this talk about the 50th made me watch "all THIRTEEN!" again and I love it every time that Hartnell's voice comes on and the whole gang shows up. Every single time.




ALSO I took a trip to the UK over the last few weeks. While I was in Edinburgh I saw a sign that said "1992 TARDIS ->" and I couldn't figure out what it was about, and I even asked a local girl I met who was wearing a Doctor Who shirt and she didn't know, so I assumed it was nothing...

But do you guys know about it?
