I’m not sure LaserDisc was ever widespread enough as a format to ever be the subject of a horror movie. Like Betamax or HDDVD or all the other long-forgotten format that only hardcore cinephiles remember.

“he is drawn into her investigation of a dangerous cult at the Visser apartment building.”

the “creepy obsessive guy just deserves a chance” trope

Slight correction - the TARDIS set up the loop. The Daleks just detected temporal weirdness (the TARDIS reset) and took advantage of it to attack. Presumably the TARDIS started looping after the Daleks got the Doctor the first time. 

I don’t see the need to have something ever-more momentous for these Doctor Who anniversary shows. If The Day Of The Doctor was “fun but ultimately anticlimactic”, then why do we need more than that? Fun is the first think I am looking for in a Doctor Who episode. The show is almost always better when it focuses on…

Kind of hoping they take advantage of the budget and creative independence and go Full Hinchcliffe this time. I miss the weird, gothic, cosmic horror-y Doctor Who.

“1) If the flux is an antimatter wave ripping through all of space how can there be any thing left like stars or decimated planets? Shouldn’t they have been erased from existence?”

Remember when the 10th doctor commited genocide on the spider-lady and her people?

And what’s the bet that even if it had been brought to light, the finger fucking would have been treated as “just” that and not a big deal, when by many legal definitions it qualifies as rape as much as penetration with a penis would. See also Brock Turner’s crime, which way too many people for my taste suddenly…

I was raped as a preteen. I’d already experienced several instances of sexual violence, some with boys and one with a man. But looking back that shit was ubiquitous. One of my friends had a kid hold a knife to her throat until she let him grope her breasts. She wore loose tops for the rest of middle school after that, …

The symptoms may overlap but the drugs are different (as this article points out) and so are their methods of acting. 

I think Doctor Who has made the UNIT timeline very weird. 

There was someone screaming on Twitter yesterday that Russell T. Davies was going to “save Doctor Who” from being woke and would be erasing the female Doctors from canon and going back to traditional Who values. Russell T. Davies.

There is also the link to the unproven allegation that David Cameron was alleged to have been intimate with pork products as part of a college initiation prank.

Boys and young men looking up to fictional women as role models, whatever is to be done

Look we all know that having a Female Time Lord has many ramifications across the time stream and can be traced directly back as a retroactive cause of the fall of the British Empire.  Damn you, you penisless monsters from the future, you have ruined everything Britain’s men have worked so long to create.  Again.

Don’t suppose it could have anything to do with the fact that the rich and powerful have gotten spectacularly brazen about committing crimes and bragging about them in full public view, and the justice system has reliably persisted in never punishing them

Sorry Jodie but you’re too late; Ripley and Janeway have already inducted me into a life of power loader regicide and chopping my friends in half with science. 

Gettin’ mighty tired of the right constantly trying to start these culture wars over bullshit the left doesn’t even care about. Stop trying to distract from the fact that you have no actual platform other than to obstruct and complain.

I am a huge Doctor Who fan and have always found its intense British-ness a big part of its appeal. And yet many British aristocratic politicians seem to combine stupidity, arrogance, and apparent inbreeding in a way that is particularly appalling and perhaps dangerous to the evolution of the human species.
