Nope. That pretty much sums up Americanized Christianity. What, you think the Middle East wasn't populated by English-speaking white male Capitalists back in the Biblical days? Unbelieving Muslim Socialist Obama Supporting Lover of Evil!!

Flawless Victory!

The new Community: Introducing Coy and Vance!

Flawless victory!

Without Troy, Pierce, or Shirley, there's really no reason to continue this show. It's the gang or not at all.

((Oh sure, it definitely leaned on the modern stuff, I mean, there's no way to avoid that, it *is* the modern stuff. And there's a lot of legit worries that putting in too many homages would make for a bloated, convoluted story (as "The Five Doctors" was). But my point is, those are legit creative choices, not…

To the point that it's The Doctor around humans in a pedestrian environment. Otherwise for me, no, it lacks the comedy bits. Many like it, though. Take a shot and watch it. You might find something to enjoy.

Hey man, that's your right to disagree. And I've got really nothing against modern Doctor Who. I love how Matt Smith's era picked up the baton from the Tom Baker Golden Age and continues to carry it (even if I think the Capaldi era is dropping it like a lead balloon). In many ways, post-2005 is superior to what came…

No, I don't think I will. See you next week. :)

LOL! I hear you. I just turned 41, so I'm right there with you… ;)

…when? When he found random electronic devices around the school?

Nice! Funny, but I never think of Ace or Adric as children and only see them as teens for some reason. And for some reason, in my mind/memory, they are older than say Courtney from CARETAKER or the two kids from NIGHTMARE IN SILVER. But I wonder if that's actually true? I might be seeing it all from the perspective of…

((I don't know that bending all the creative decisions to serve nostalgia is any more valid than doing it to make money. It's all just pandering, at the end of the day.))

Man you're awesome to debate with! Please keep coming back to these threads! You're the best debater I've interacted with yet. Seriously, no bullshit. I know this is the internet and people always expect "arguments" over "debates". But this type of discussion is exactly what I get off on. You're effing GOOD! Thank you…

Colby, I respect your stance and opinion. And I think you make some good points. I honestly do. And I think I was pretty clear up front in saying that, yes, I want an entirely different story for DotD because I was expecting a celebration of 50 years. Maybe that's unrealistic of me, and maybe I don't use the best…

((I'm ignoring nothing))

((Except that I pointed to 4 long-running character traits of 3
previous incarnations, not one thing that happened in one episode. There's no "agree to disagree" about it, those are two entirely different things.))

((Well, I suppose it is, but it's a rational one, and one I stand behind. He had exactly one adventure that we're sure is in continuity (and they played loosey-goosey with that until "Eleventh Hour" or so, right?).))

You are ignoring the rest of my words to single out those random lines you can find a response to, instead of tackling my points. That's cool. Just realize I can't take that seriously as you aren't addressing what I'm saying.

I agree to disagree, as saddling random minutia into a ball of primary characterization in an effort to support a momentary plot point is transparently awful writing for me. That's like me saying The Doctor LOVES (I mean emphatically LOOOOOOVES) smoking a pipe. Because I mean, One did it in the pilot (see my avatar).…
