Just pick a great actor.

At least the 2nd Doctor tried to run first when the Time Lords put him on trial and sentenced him to regeneration.

Kinja is messed up.

I thought the Doctor’s regenerations were a rare and special thing. Now he could just have and has had them infinitely.

I liked the frog.

Moffat was burning out by the time Capaldi was hired, and I believe he should have let go of Clara sooner to allow Capaldi’s era to have its own identity. I still think there were many excellent episodes, and it improved during the last episodes with Bill.

They all had crap, but they also all had greatness that I don’t think Whittaker reached under Chibnall.

I think it’s for the best that Chibnall is leaving. He was an uninspired choice to lead the show and his scripts have usually been middling. Chibnall has nowhere near the imaginative power of Russell T. Davies or Steven Moffat when they’re firing on all cylinders. And I still think the Timeless Child was an…

A.V. Club isn’t letting me reply to greyed comments (Argh, fix Kinja!) but it sounds like the review is saying that in this story, Gawain’s mother is Morgan le Fay and Arthur is his uncle, reflecting some versions of the story where she is Arthur’s sister. Maybe they don’t share both parents, or one is adopted, or…

I just did the same. lol

I guess I’m just oblivious. I thought Excalibur was pretty universally beloved, at least in the pantheon of Arthurian movies!

I’m excited by this, too. I was hoping it would be more like “Excaibur” and less like “modern actors in Arthurian cosplay with heaps of CGI.”

I wonder if they explain how Arthur and Gawain’s mother are brother and sister.

Argh, that should have been the real ending.

I think there’s plenty of room to do both. Sidelining the main character is a pretty bold yet disappointing choice.

I hadn’t heard that, but it’s hopeful news!

Exactly. It’s so easy to jump into the “They’re all sexist!” boat without considering the context.

I think that would have been a very interesting story, seeing Adam have to survive and deal with adversity on his own without recourse to his He-Man powers, making him a stronger individual in the process. If Adam survives into Season 2, maybe we will get to see that storyline play out.

“No” wonder

While I watched all the big ‘80s adventure cartoons, I was more into the toys and creating a story for the characters. I was most intrigued by the packaging art for toylines like Transformers and MOTU, which painted fantastic fantasy worlds and gave you a basic outline for the conflict, but allowed enough room for you…
