Jodie�s first season had her be incredibly passive and nice, never seeming like she was on top of the situation. The latest one gave her a few more teeth, but she still feels like she�s never in charge of what�s going on, and is still just passively dragged along by the story happening at her.

He did manage to wake a woman of colour the Doctor, albeit not the main one, because the show will be another 2 decades before it gets there properly.

THAT�s what this reminds me of! That weird mid-2000s stuff where it was �revealed� Spider-Man was something like a representation of a spider-totem/god and it had specifically chosen him or something? It removed the �Peter was an ordinary kid and is making the best of juggling powers and a regular life�, and made him Always Been Extra Special.

He's Spider Man but he never uses any web or climbing powers because in my version he's afraid of heights. Also no silly spider costume, he goes around in levi jeans and a casual shirt.

And then in the 3rd act, he fights a giant spider?

Fun Easter egg from the Faceless Ones:

And a lovely story from the Popbitch mailout:

quote:

"I used to work in an office on Haymarket with both a front and back entrance. When going for a cigarette, I used to take the back entrance so I wouldn't be standing outside on the main road. I certainly didn't expect for the lift doors to open on the ground floor to be confronted by Sylvester McCoy who was trying to get in, explaining to a security guard he was there for a meeting.

"The security guard had no idea who he was or what he was talking about and was getting quite arsey, so I walked Sylv round to the front of the building.

"I confessed I was a bit of a fan, to which he replied: 'That's the best thing about being an old Doctor. I used to save the universe, but now there's always someone in the universe there to save you when you need help.'"

Of course, we should also have the little mini special with the Doctor too. Although, not the one we were expecting.

I can't believe that Moffat has a better handle on the specific incarnation that Chibnall created dashing out a couple-page short story than Chibnall himself has had after two full seasons of show running.

I chose 6 over 5 because of Rory�s presence. 5 is really good, but Rory being there for 6 sold it. He�s such a good character, deflating the Doctor�s bubble.
