But he’ll still win, even if he regenerates.

The giggle of a mysterious puppet is driving the human race insane. When the Doctor discovers the return of the terrifying Toymaker, he faces a fight he can never win.

Yeah, but in 1 and 3, our protagonist lose even more - in the first one, everyone dies but Ripley, who is now floating alone in space hoping someone will pick her up. In 3, almost everyone dies, including Ripley. And in neither version is the crompany really hurt in any systemic way.

I think Olyphant should play some kind of country lawman in a cowboy hat. He could be very brave and heroic, with a wry sense of humor, but also a worrisome temper.

The Star Beast is a 1954 book by Robert Heinlein.

as an incurable Classic Who nerd, I need this.

I’d be much more excited for new Doctor Who if I could actually see it.  Moving to streaming-only in a country where millions of people can’t stream was an absolute garbage move.

Okay I gotta say it; I love the new console room!
Oh my God, you should’ve seen the smile on my face.
It’s vintage, yet modern. It’s minimalist, yet detailed.

As soon as they can figure out how to do an AI generated recap they will.

I’m so happy to have this show back in every sense of the word. I miss goofy, exuberant Who

Watched it this morning. We are SO FUCKING BACK.

IIRC when Doctor Who last had lots of money, the 11th Doctor had two different TARDIS interiors and two (or was it three) different title sequence designs.

What a hoot, I love goofy exuberant RTD bullshit.

I wonder how much of the title sequence design, theme, the TARDIS set will get revamped when Ncuti Gatwa takes over. IIRC the 10th Doctor inherited most of the design elements from the Christopher Eccleston season, likely because there wasn’t budget enough to start over. But with that sweet Disney money, who knows?…

The return of RTD has resulted in a greatest hits of representation that is going to blow the minds of the right wing commentariat.

My favorite show is back!

People in wheelchairs, or with any other disability, can surely be as good, neutral, or evil as anyone else and removing an evil character’s wheelchair for this purpose almost feels discriminatory (albeit in a well-intentioned way). There’s a scene in (iirc) Jingo by Terry Pratchett where Sam Vimes is called out by…
