I think the thing to remember, particularly for a fellow long-time fan like yourself, is that ‘Doctor Who’ is basically the TV embodiment of “This too shall pass.” - you’re not losing the Doctor as a male role model partly because of the back catalogue and partly because i’d be absolutely astonished if Capaldi is the…

Yeah, just a smidge. Plus, y’know corpses and so on but really very few, i’d say virtually zero corpses at any particular instant.

Well, the outcome is certainly the same so in that sense they’re functionally equivalent but surely when claiming someone is a certain way it’s important that they personally actually are that way (otherwise we’re claiming something that isn’t true) ? The change averse response isn’t saying “I want to preserve the…

The closest to anything sensible that i’ve seen is that a male Doctor is a good role model for young boys, most of whose fictional male heroes are much more pro-violence, less about using their brains etc. He can also be quite camp and definitely isn’t a traditionally masculine character in most incarnations which is…

Traditionally, only if you’re holding yer lapels and doin’ the Lambeff wawk (oy!) when you say it.

Hah, good one (it runs through the middle of a city of around 9 million people so, y’know, nope ;).

I mean, he was _well known_ in the UK at the time but very far from revered. For the most part, as far as it makes sense to generalise about the opinions of 60+ million people, we thought he was a bit of a twat (a guy was arrested for allegedly trying to cut his water pipe, people hit golf balls at the box, people…

Honestly, I get why you’re being a bit defensive. You just work here and i’m sure none of this is your fault but the sad truth is, the site design kinda sucks now (navigation is harder, too much whitespace etc.) and the comments sections, one of the unique attractions of the AVC for me and it would seem many others,…

Some people have said being followed helps with ungreying so here goes...

It really is shit isn’t it ?

If you can’t see the seams then I don’t think it matters as much (or at all really). It’s natural for the early films of a sketch comedy group to feel pretty sketch-y and ultimately, all narrative films are a collection of “skits” right ? It’s just that we normally call them “scenes”.

Speaking for the whole of the UK (it’s not even my turn but Dave in Staffordshire has a bit of a dicky tummy this week) i’d say yes. Both are well thought of but LoB was really trying to say something and resonates more. It also has more notoriety since it caused a bit of a kerfuffle when it came out (AFAIK it’s still…

As I say, I don’t mean now though, I mean at the end of the current run of films when the actors want out/are getting too expensive (as per the next two Avengers movies) then they could really go for it, blending all their properties into a big mash-up which resolves with WB being able to pick and choose different…

Your comments are under “Discussions” (I assumed they’d be called “Posts” because, y’know, common sense but apparently not).

It even gives them their big end of phase 1 “Infinity Wars” equivalent, just do Crisis. They _might_ be thinking along those lines with the Flash movie.

One of the admins/staffers/Kinja people said it over in the “Welcome (back)“ thread I think.

Same. It said an account with my name already existed (the display name is right, it’s the actual username which is the issue).

Comment/time of post synergy.

Din Din !

Can’t tell whether i’m grey or not. Replied to someone which seemed to appear but now my profile is saying I have 0 posts.
