It’s stupid and dumb, but I liked the Doctor’s look in this episode more, as they were sans T-shirt. T-shirts just seem un-Doctorly.

I ultimately think this is what’s going to push away Team TARDIS — although I actually hope Yaz stays with her. She had a pretty interesting scene with Claire where Claire’s infatuated with Byron was compared with Yaz’s friendship (or more?) with the Doctor. And Yaz has become increasingly more Doctor-like — even in…

The whole “Kate’s soulmate” conversation was way too pointed to not be someone we know. Odds are it’s Sophie, but I really don’t want it to be Sophie. Fingers crossed it’s someone else. PLEASE!

I was hoping they’d do something clever and have Cartwright and Mouse be the Big Bad for the second half of the season rather than Alice and keep Beth to round out the supporting cast a bit more.

Not everything needs to be political. Sometimes you don’t want politics getting involved, like at the Thanksgiving dinner table. I used to frequent a number of forums that had a “no politics” policy.

Exactly. And you look really silly trying you argue about something you admittedly know nothing about. No, “I’ve read a lot of comics in general” does not give you grounds to blanket critique a specific run.

Then what was the point of her having cancer? It sounds like it was just a giant MacGuffin/ Chekov’s gun.

No, I haven’t read the run. I stopped buying superhero comics a decade ago because I got tired of the constant reboots.

You keep missing the point.

What isn’t all that surprising is that Phastos is going to have a relatively traditional nuclear family, because, hey, this is a Disney production after all.

Uh-huh.

I’ve been musing about this. The Doctor personality does change dramatically with each incarnation, each Doctor would have responded differently. Some would have comforted Graham. Some would have responded worse.

Well, yeah. Because the writer knew they needed to mash that rest button for the next creative team and not resurrecting her was pointless, especially after the Forster Thor had become so popular. So they worked the resurrection into their story.

I imagine they might want the Foster Thor to be in a couple movies, so they can have a sequel with her or have her in Avengers 5. Not having her develop cancer might make it more open for future movies.

But that’s comics. Every sad ending is undone and every change is reset.

Yeah... all Aspergers and all social awkwardness here.

Open Question: How much of the backlash and response is related to sexism and assumed gender roles?

That is my point.

It had lots of problems.
My biggest was that it was an online game played with friends where my friend and I sat in absolute silent on the mike for half of each play session listening to largely uninteractive cut scenes.

Which is pessimistic as fuck and doesn’t feel very Star Trek.
