This was a disappointing episode after what I felt was a step in the right direction afew weeks ago. It really sucks that the writers aren't taking more chances (there are no limits in the DC universe! You should be far more ambitious!)

So theyre saying:
- whole of society is this thing
So:
- MRAs reject this thing
- MRAs are the minority who refuse to assimilate into wider society.
I think it's a valid criticism also (but like you don't interpret it as feminist propaganda), but the least developed ever? That's not exactly how I would phrase it. It's an easy thing to say when her arc isn't over and you don't have pent up nostalgia that blinds you to the flaws in Star Wars.
I think Hardy and Theron are co leads even if it's very clear in the film whose story it really is. Fantastic film, my favourite of the year.
Certain men really do interpret Fight Club very differently to the people who actually paid attention the whole way through.
Snowtown the film is great. But I admit I get nitpicky when people I talk to believe the murders to have actually occurred in the town itself. That said: Snowtown (which is less than half an hour away from where I grew up) was so INTO those murders. They had merchandise.
And River is stuck for an immeasurably long time in a computer program with people she works with.
I just get so mad about this. It's like the "Fury Road is feminist propaganda" crap. Thinking Max isn't presented as the main character in the storyline is a criticism I can understand, but it's also a criticism that would be just as valid if Furiosa were a man. The conclusion just doesn't follow.
I don't understand MRAs, fine if you feel you aren't bring represented (it's bull but hey) but how is tearing down a film for casting a woman making you look like anything other than a brat? Propaganda for what anyway? "Women can do things?"
The best part is their pride in people reading between the lines of blockbusters. Something SJWs (a term I dislike but will use for the sake of clarity) also do. They act exactly the same as the people they mock for seeing slights that may or may not be there.
As much as I love that we will, maybe, see more time lords in the future who play an intrinsic role in the show I agree with Eccleston too. I know the Doctor still thinks it happened (the doctors up to 11 I mean) but it's a cheat that retroactively lessens the impact of particular scenes, many of them very, very good,…
Lizard. A terrible, terrible lizard.
It seems that series 9 likes the idea of prolonging the inevitable. That's not a criticism, i've always found the concept quite interesting, but between this and Clara's decision to 'take the long way round', it seems that facing up, and not facing up, to death/endings is a huge theme.
You know how people say Doctor Who is a weird show? This is what they're talking about.
I wouldn't be surprised if Clara and Ashildr made a few appearances on that (it would after all be quite easy to do), but as you said they would still run into Williams' aging issue. Plus I imagine there may be scheduling conflicts with whatever she and Coleman are doing at the time.
Vastra, Jenny and Strax at least deserve a special of some description. Such under-utilized characters.
Ahhh Doctor Who, it hasn't been that long since Series 9 ended and already i was antsy for more. I am generally in the camp of people who say that River had had her time on the show and that despite enjoying her immensely the returns were diminishing (this had nothing to do with Kingston herself but more the writing…
Additionally, it's a really fun and catchy song even when Groucho isn't the one singing it. Dinah in The Philadelphia Story especially sang it with a lot of verve.
The Christmas specials are one of the few things I think Moffat's era absolutely does better than RTDs (the two tend to be on even footing to me), but they've yet to have a truly sterling special. I think they may be getting closer though.
I agree but I so unabashedly love series 9 (and much of that love has to do with Capaldi and Coleman's chemistry) that I can't be mad. Or even slightly peeved.
