Also that what the hell ending would have made a tiny bit more sense if the Doctor explained that by defeating Maestro, music was flooding back into the universe, forward and backwards in time. That things would go back to normal and the timeline would reset itself eventually, but that the 1960's would forever be a…

Space Babies was extremely unobjectionable. Downright aggressive in it’s averageness.

Like most of RTD’s season openers, it was very silly (if you took a drink every time they said “space babies” you’d be in an alcoholic coma right now) and super light on plot, and mostly an excuse to quickly infodump what’s been…

“vast majority” - Explain.

Doctor Who - I mean this, you can watch very old episodes to prove it - used to be mostly science fiction, with a little psionics thrown in. Not magic, not gods, not ridiculous and empty crap for stupid people.

I’m just really not into these ‘the rules of reality are totally different now and anything can happen just go with it’ storylines, despite my love of Neil Patrick Harris!

I thought the metaphor in "The Devil's Chord" was the conservative British government trying to kill off the BBC and the arts in general. But YMMV.

Only note on your recaps is on Space Babies because RTD crammed a lot into it. What if we use space babies and a snot monster as a metaphor for how conservatives treat life in the womb vs once they’re out.

It wasn’t a musical episode, it was an episode with a musical number in it. One. So about 3 minutes out of 60.

My biggest issue is the way people are treating the legally questionable deployment of new technology as inherent and therefore excusable to the technology itself.

The biggest problem with AI art generation is it’s a product (not a person) pieced together almost entirely out of the uncompensated work of others. I’m…

Have you ever considered the possibility that this is the best the tech will ever look, sans direct human intervention? Especially now that LLMs are being fed on “synthetic data” from other models because there’s not enough real data to work with? Look up “Hapsburg AI.”

Fucking pathetic

I bet your kids would laugh at that one if they’d ever call you back. 

Why do trailers these days need to begin with a micro trailer about the trailer?

Well, I have been assuming all along that the Tunguska event was a Predator self-destruct so let’s see that story...

The cancellation of Westworld in 2022 came as a shock for multiple reasons. HBO’s marquis lineup of prestige dramas have generally gotten to end on their own terms, and the sci-fi show seemed like it was hoping for one last season to tie everything together.

Do NOT give the Honored Matres any ideas.

I’ve got to imagine the Fleshlight company has a licensing deal with this film.

You can get “Directed by David Lynch” stickers to put on your window, which helps make the current state of the world make more sense.

I always liked the OG film! Kyle MacLachlan kicks ass. 

It’s a trippy and visually stunning film, despite some bad miniature FX here and there. If you’ve never seen it in a theater you owe it to yourself to do so.
