“the emperor of something stupid”

Both RTD and Moffat, for all their faults, bring a joy, excitement, humor, and energy to their scripts that Chibnall has not produced once in his tenure. They are also both capable of producing some pretty outstanding highs, which again, Chibnall has just not been able to produce.

Canonically, in terms of how many regenerations the Doctor possesses, both the War Doctor’s regeneration and Ten’s second regeneration count, per Eleven’s final episode.

Sure, except for the fact the RTD era is highly rated and considered one of the peaks of the entire show’s history.

Yeah, I was gonna say, it’s probably not that they jury doesn’t believe Rapp...but it’s hard to prove in a court of law, beyond a reasonable doubt, that something, based purely on witness testimony, happened over 30 years ago.

No thanks.

I saw an ad that The Audience with Helen Mirren was going to be on Broadway and told my wife, “We’re going”. We live a long way from New York.

When she came on stage in this gown, the audience practically fainted en masse. The rest of the cast was filled with heavy hitters. I wish I had known more about the different…

I’m guessing she probably said it tongue-in-cheek, but obviously, we’re not given any real context.

This is a wierdly under-researched and thought through list.

General Bond takes, of varying temperatures:

Counterpoint: If It Makes You Happy still slaps.

I mean, Jenna also describes Qarl and Laenor as faking his death on their own, when it was clear that all four parties were in on it since we see Daemon killing the guy they used as the burnt body and Rhaenyra explicitly says that everyone will think they were behind the murder and she’s okay with people fearing what…

Seriously. No one gave a shit about Maisie. It would have been so easy (for someone who knows how to make movies which I don’t) for someone to conceive a plot about DINOSAURS LIVING AMONG PEOPLE. That just seems like something anyone would want to go see. No one wanted another movie about scientific ethics that we’ve…

God they did her dirty in Strange. I was really enjoying the arc of WandaVision and the depth it gave her character. And then she got the Dany treatment.

Couldn’t agree more! I think it’s horrible they are publishing this. Those were his private thoughts. It’s not like he had a chance to go back and add notes or explain the full context.

They probably just shouldn’t have printed those quotes...it was his private diary after all. It’s not like he ever publicly spoke negatively about the children.  Furthermore, just because you have a negative thought about something or someone does not mean you resent them or hold it against them.  In the context of…

The Royal Family on The Crown aren’t quite as shitty as the real ones.

Ughh okay. World of Avatar did not invent the “immersive world” theme park area - The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened at Universal in 2010, World of Avatar opened seven years later. Planning for the Avatar park began in 2011, obviously in response to Disney FREAKING OUT because of how much attention and…

This whole article seems an overly desperate stretch over and around the weird hollowness of the first Avatar movie and its lack of resonance in pop culture despite its box office success. Titanic gets referenced far more in pop culture than Avatar, and it came out 25 years ago. Toys and other Avatar merchandise…

my only hope is it feels like people desperate because they know they are losing. they know young people do not believe in their nonsense, so its going to die, and they are flailing against the eventuality that they have no power to resist, its like the people who fought interracial marriage.
