So something that you made up, then?

So what is woke, then?

“Dr Woke”? Always has been. If the moaners and whiners about ‘woke’/‘SJWs’/‘Political correctness’ had their way at the time, the show never would have existed in the first place.

Me too, but then of course race and class are inextricably linked, and once the racism angle was pointed out it became obvious especially upon rewatch.

Depends when you’re talking about. Remember the Celestial Toymaker is a character that goes back to the 1st Doctor. The 2nd Doctor had a story in the land of fiction, and let’s not forget The Greatest Show in the Galaxy that had villains literally called ‘The Gods of Ragnarok’

Not that it’s necessarily that important to making a movie adaptation good or not, but Timothee Chalamet is quite close to the physical descriptions of Paul Atreides in the books, except he’s older and perhaps taller than Paul is supposed to be:

I also took issue with the ending where the Doctor straight up murders the Goblin King. That’s not how the Doctor rolls.

I also feel strongly about the Doctor straight up murdering the Goblin King at the end. That’s not how the Doctor rolls.

so the Doctor has saved the people of earth like a billion times, and the entire planet knows about him and his TARDIS. So why is it that in every episode, they write it as if someone shined on the planet the MIB device to wipe people’s memories

I am overall not crazy with the TC stuff (though I do kind of like the idea of pre-Hartnell Doctors, and I love validating the Brain of Morbius Doctors

you can lay it all at RTD’s feet

Yeah I feel like it would have been better to set the episode around 4 years in the future so Rose’s character could have been the same age as Yasmin Finney

Absolutely, society loves a false binary apparently, men and women aren’t opposites either!

I mean yeah she does look older than the 15 years old her character is, but hulking over adults could certainly be realistic for a 15 year old.

Letting things go is not always emotional, it can be a rational decision, or a bit of both. Because most things are a bit of both.

I can’t think of any examples in the last five years (could you point me to any?)

“gay or gay-coded villains through the whole history of cinema - indeed it’s still occurring in a lot of non-Western places”
Queer-coding villains still occurs in a lot of Western places too. Even in the last 5 years I’ve seen a fair few examples of characters being shown as promiscuously or hedonistically bisexual…

its constant use of queer and/or kinky sex life as a marker of decadence.

Should it? You think no one should be fired for any reason other than being found guilty of a crime in a court of law?
I should be terrified that if I’m incompetent, or behave unprofessionally, or don’t do my actual job, or prove a liability to my employer that they may choose to terminate my employment?
