Poor old Whoopi Goldberg. Does she have a massive tax bill to pay, or something? And is that why they skimped on her wig?

It’s actually about ethics in Fictional Eastern European Dictatorships.

I am really excited about Jodie Whittaker’s casting, but I do see the argument Davidson was groping towards, however badly. I actually agree that the presence of a male hero who didn’t solve problems with violence, and whose defining qualities were his kindness and willingness to sacrifice himself again and again for…

Yup. I remember learning that and reacting in much the same way. When I then went back and watched it again, it suddenly looked like a weird comedy blueprint for his work on the show.

Plus Moffatt has been rather carefully laying the groundwork for this change for, ooh, ever since he took over as showrunner (one of his first lines for Matt Smith was ‘I’m a girl!’) and all the way through his tenure, which is ages now. Arguably, he’s been working towards it since he wrote ‘The Curse of Fatal Death’…

There’s a hint that the Doctors we’ve seen aren’t all of them, anyway: in a Tom Baker episode where he’s being tortured a screen displays a series of his former faces, and it’s the previous three plus a load of other guys (played by various carpenters and set-builders and the like apparently, because all the famous…

She’s been ginger:

‘How does Luke know how to fly an X-wing? Or a turret gun? I mean, he goes from having his ass kicked at Mos Eisley to blowing up the Death Star in a DAY. It’s so unrealistic!

Did you notice that Adam Driver was also training for a fight where multiple guys with staffs were attacking him?

Those two couldn’t be on the same side in that fight, could they?

I think he needs to wait till the current generation of toddlers obsessed with Moana can vote, and run with the slogan ‘America: You’re Welcome.’

There are three things that appear pretty clear motivations behind GOSH’s actions:

There is a significant chance that even the plane journey itself will involve significant extra discomfort for this poor child, to the point where that alone might kill him.

His life is basically pretty much an ongoing cycle of pain,…

It sounds pretty knowable, to be honest. There are three things that appear pretty clear:

There is a significant chance that even the plane journey itself will involve significant extra discomfort for this poor child, to the point where that alone might kill him.

His life is basically pretty much an ongoing cycle of…

It’s almost as if people would be more comfortable confiding in you than him, for some reason.

Or maybe, just maybe, low conviction rates, the trauma of the experience, and the tendency of shitty people all over the place to try and explain away rape allegations and blame the woman means that a lot of women aren’t talking about their experiences. I mean, I suspect they’re definitely not talking to you about it,…

That Yoda really

The Jon Simm Master did though (sort of) when he refused to regenerate in Ten’s arms. So there is precedent in-canon.

To be fair, they did also turn the Brigadier into a Cyberman during the same period, and he was basically the whitest person ever:

If the actual story they go with is better than your version, I’ll eat my hat. That’s cool.

I kind of had the opposite impression to be honest; it always felt to me like she was behind things, reading the books. I just saw her as this implacable force scheming away within the Lannisters, and I didn’t have any sense of her beyond ‘ahh, this woman is the absolute devil and her unstoppable schemes will kill…

Some brave interviewer is going to have to ask them who was fired first.
