I’m going to take a stab that the Gallifreyans are going to be humans that past through the boundary and acquired two hearts somehow. Doesn’t make any sense but it wouldn’t be the first time they tried to make the Doctor human.

Well, we already know Jack has been sent back in time and had to age back into the present day at least once, so there’s no way of telling how old he was chronologically when the Face of Boe first came on the scene. Could’ve pulled a Marvin and been sent back to the beginning of time repeatedly, so he was far older…

It’s not like it would be unusual for Star Trek to bring back a one-off guest star for a cameo decades later. I can think of a half-dozen examples off the top of my head.

A new actor played Icheb, too.

I feel like the best way forward is to recast and retool the character. Maybe have an episode where gets a white-collar job, or franchises out some Kwik-e-Marts, overworks himself at first, and at some point in the plot, his voice changes because he got laryngitis from the stress or something. Or flip it, and he…

I saw last week they were doing audio book adaptations, too. Different narrators for each character, which was a nice touch.

Get out of here with that BBC nonsense.

While John Simm seemed to be going for inverted David Tennant, I’d say Sacha Dhawan really seems to be playing off of early Matt Smith, especially with that herky-jerky physicality. Which is funny, because when Missy first started I felt like Gomez’s evil-Mary-Poppins thing was almost playing more off of late-period,…

*Taps nose*

Given how things went with the Vault storyline, I was hoping the Doctor would react a bit more specifically to the Master returning to evil than just general shock at seeing him. “Missy, what the hell? Things were going so good between us! Remember, ‘I’m Doctor Who!’ ‘I was on your side all along!’ What happened?” Oh,…

The Rise of Skywalker is on a different planet compared to the reliable, well-oiled Marvel machine. Again, this movie isn’t aiming for the broad audience; it’s aiming for all of the different narrow audiences.

The guys who wanted the past to die in that movie were either convinced otherwise or made a complete fool of by the guy that changed his mind. Did you also think the theme of ESB was that the right choice was to end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy?

They switched up the formula in the second movie. Star Wars has always had an element of reinvention and remixing in it, going back to the original concept as a modern-day Flash Gordon serial.

It’s not attempting to please a crowd, it’s attempting to please dozens of them, many of whom want contradictory things. Look at how virtually every possible hope for Rey and Kylo came true over the course of the movie; she killed him because he was a monster and she kissed him because he was redeemed, along with…

And judging by the design of the Star Destroyers being the ANH/R1 style and not the more modern ESB/RotJ version (seriously, the VFX team could make a Cloud City model for one shot, but they couldn’t make a second OT-style Destroyer and had to use the R1 model with the cannon from the TLJ dreadnaught bolted on? Was…

Rey kills Kylo Ren, Ben Solo is redeemed, Reylo happens, Ben/Kylo dies so Rey isn’t constrained or coopted by her relationship to a negging bad-boyfriend type, Finn has a secret he needs to tell Rey... Wow, J.J. gave literally everyone literally everything we could want, especially the hopes that contradicted the…

Going back to TFA with Finn hearing the people crying out on Hosnian Prime (retconned in interviews as him hearing... people in Maz’s parking lot reacting to the sight) and Poe’s supernaturally good piloting ability, along with TLJ’s establishing Jedi can come from anywhere, I expected Episode XI would have Rey having…

The Knights of Ren were big let down. Again, had JJ been able to make the 2nd movie, I think they’d had more of a role. Rian clearly had no use for the concept in his story (yet another plot thread Rian just kinda dropped for no apparent reason).

I’m a “Husbands of River Song” man, myself.

Yeah, it was a trip to hear Conroy doing THE VOICE in live action
