Slightly late to this party, but I finally got around to swapping out the LEDs in my 13th Doctor's sonic! Now I need to get another one so I can have both the orange and blue, the Portal themed sonics.
The fact Peter Capaldi specifically requested them because he thought kids shouldn't need expensive toys to be the Doctor makes the really hard to hate imo. It was cool to lose the screwdriver for a season too, I love the sonic but it is overused.
Liz Sladen and RTD seem like two of the nicest people to have worked on DW, so the fact that Levine managed to draw genuine anger from both of them shows what an insufferable prick he must be.
I do love how most actors who've played the Doctor give fairly vague, non-committal answers when they get asked if they'd be willing to come back. Then Jodie Whittaker, who's only been gone a year, says "yes" almost before the question had finished being asked lol
Youtube will age restrict a video showing Michelangelo's Creation of Adam (this actually happened to
@JimSterling
), then show you two casino ads in a row followed by a beer ad 5 mins later 🙃 Astounding levels of hypocrisy going on over there.
Doesn't it make sense though? The only way the Doctor could ever truly settle down, ever stop running and fighting, is if someone they they trusted *fully* could take over doing all that. And who does the Doctor trust more than anyone?
@LilySimpson1312
The funniest part is she clearly wrote on that the photo after she took it rather than on the paper itself. What an epic own that will be when she quietly ticks "her/she" and sends it off.
@Q_Review
Well I say I'm the best chef in the world, so I'm going to sue anyone better than me. Ramsey will be hearing from my lawyer one I crowdfund the money for one.
@JennyENicholson
Like many things in our country, they're something that used to have a purpose but now we just keep around out of a weird sense of tradition and because the Royals need to be constantly made to look about 50x more important than they are so people don't question why we need them.
@SafeSpaceDrWho
I hope he changes is up a lot like Capaldi does, I feel like Ncuti dosen't suit being tied down a single look. That being said I do really like it!
@KatyMontgomerie
He dosen't actually know what an incel is, does he? He just thinks it's a general insult because people have called him that so often.
@DimensionsInJen
When my family are all shocked about the bi-regeneration and I have to act like I didn't hear about it months ago and make fun of how silly it sounded
@JayExci
Yeah, I'm against it. Could be cool in games? Sure. Do I trust the games industry to use it well? Not even slightly.
Maybe a small indie game that uses it I'd be alright with, but when 'AAA' studios start using AI it'll be as a way to cut corners and screw over the workers.
@CaelanConrad
Isn't this the guy who married a man, included transphobia in the wedding vows, got cheated on multiple times and is now pretending to be straight?
This a great example of what I mean by AI art being designed to glance at but not study. It looks fine, until you notice Georgia's arm. And Colin's bow tie/tie combo. And then the faces of the classic Doctors both look slightly off. And the backgrounds are a mess.
@Q_Review
I think it would have been so much better with just Stephen and Karl, Ricky is basically a laugh track and comes off more as obnoxious than anything.
I finished this the other day, and damn can Tom Baker write some good Doctor Who! Without spoiling too much some parts feel very honest about his feelings towards being the Doctor. It has a sweet scene with 13, and some other Doctors pop up too (in a way). Would highly recommend!
@DimensionsInJen
I'd say Moffat made the best use of time travel in his stories. Apart from Father's Day it's mainly just a way to tell stories in the past/future. Which is still fun but Moffat used it to tell stories in a new way, like River Song and the time jumping in the Pandorica Opens etc
@Quod_Matter
His S5 look where he's always a little disheveled is my favourite by far, S6 usually looks more tidy and while I like the S7b outfit I think the original is the best.
After having almost the entire 60th spoiled months before it aired, I'm going to be super harsh on leaks going forwards. I will mute/block anyone I see talking about them in detail. WBY made me remember how amazing this show is when you go in as blind as possible, so
I’ve seen the new leak going around.
I would not recommend sharing it around. Sure, it sounds fake but we all said that last time and well… 😂
It’s better not to share just incase. I won’t be talking about it or acknowledging it.
(Unless for now to just warn it’s going about)
I will always share this, because I'm still not over the organisers of this tory event *literally* putting the LGBT cons in Section 28. You can see it at the top, and I don't believe for a femtosecond that it wasn't deliberate.
@AnarchOnion
Especially when faced with the enemy he commited genocide against his own people to eradicate. Like to him even one Dalek surviving the Time War meant his actions were for nothing, so all that considered I think he was quite reserved here.
@the3rdjp
Right? I feel like it's going from niche to mainstream again, I'm a bit wary of that tbh but it will do the show good! Not so sure about the fanbase 😅
@CooperHillier
It is cool, but it's too sleek and modern for his Doctor. Him dressing like an old man worked way better I think. Plus that coat is a bit too much like Sherlock's.
I love how when the first set pics dropped, some people saw a blurry white smudge from half a mile away and were instantly like "that's Beep the Meep". And they were right!
Imagine him trying to deliver 9's 'turn of the Earth' speech from Rose, or 12's 'who I am is where I stand' from The Doctor Falls. It just dosen't work.
@Glinner
Doctor Who is a family show, so I get why it might hit a nerve with you. Do you remember what it feels like to be happy? To enjoy things? Do you have any hobbies beside hating people and collecting dust?
@the3rdjp
RTD is the king of this! I remember the couple in Father's Day who ask if the Doctor will save them. "You two. Street corner, two in the morning, getting a taxi home. I've never had a life like that. Yes, I'll try and save you."
@mattxiv
I think you answered your own question...
You know those "justgirlythings" pages that were huge a few years ago got outed as being run by corpos? I'd bet £5 these accounts are run by the same people. Same as the annoying ones like Kira etc
@bbcdoctorwho
Ooh, so the claws retract when the top is pushed in like 11's? That's my favourite feature on a sonic screwdriver so I'm happy to see it come back!
Are the BBC playing nice because they don't want to be too harsh on an old man with mental health issues? Because I'm sure they have the money to take this to court and likely win, so the fact they're just letting him have his way is odd.
@ArtBeanWithAJ1
@DiscipleOfBrad
Unfortunately not, this is just a joke about Ecclestone being very vocally anti-royal. He once commented "parasite in chief in her idiot hat" under a pic of the queen lmao. But he does have some Big Finish audio adventures now!
@beeeeeeaan
Timelord instinct, he probably just doesn't trust anyone else with that power. Plus Jack can be reckless and selfish sometimes, having watched Torchwood recently there were times where Jack would have absolutely messed with time if he could.
I loved how Donna didn't even react to the first "my arms are too long". She's so used to the Doctor saying weird stuff totally unprompted that it just didn't register lmao
The funniest resolution to this situation is that the BBC manages to get all of An Unearthly Child on iPlayer, only for fans to watch the first part then skip straight to The Daleks anyway.
@Sydney1788
@RebecTV
What exactly do you not like about him? Seems like an odd stance to take when we have so little of his Doctor's character to go off 🤔
@_cosmicangst
Picks her up, takes her to an era of the past that would have been very dangerous for a black woman (and dismisses her when she raises this valid concern), brings up Harry Potter and praises JKR, broods about his ex all the time.
10 has to be the worst date ever.
Taylor Swift is said to be considering legal action against the deepfake website that generated explicit AI images of her which circulated online, Daily Mail reports.
As someone who didn't like Flux and the Timeless Child a whole lot, I am thrilled RTD is going with it. I'll take a well thought out "yes and" approach over a straight retcon any day, especically in a show like Doctor Who
@_cosmicangst
I've been saying this for so long! The only thing wrong with the Eleventh Hour is that they really wasted Olivia Colman. Mind you they could still bring her back, seeing as her actual character was in a coma when Prizoner Zero copied her 👀
Remember to vote today! Your choices are:
-The Tories
-The Tories (now in red!)
-The Tories (diet)
-The "we love the enviroment but aren't too keen on trans people" party
@DimensionsInJen
Did Moffat know that was Chibnall's intent? Because he did a good job laying the groundwork with lines like
"Is the future going to be all girl?"
"We can only hope."
@bestofdyingtwit
Fuck it, why not? Lets just ban images. Let's make it so you can only make posts from a pre-selected list of words like messages in a Souls game. Gifs should cost $1.
@the3rdjp
Something similar happened before where he liked a transphobic tweet from JKR, then when people told it what it meant he aplogised and said he stands with trans people. He probably dosen't realise *all* her tweets now are transphobic.
