Yeah, Doctor Who has always been science fantasy, never “pure sci-fi” or hard sci-fi.

“By that same regard, though, it’s likely some longtime fans might find it hard to stomach the changes to their favorite show, particularly its aforementioned shift from pure sci-fi to fantasy.”

Must have been one hell of a shitty boss. I’ve literally heard more smoke about Schneider than pretty much any other celebrity.

Well played, sir.

There must be something about it considering how many times HB tried the same formula and none of them really stuck (Clue Club, Jabberjaws, Fangface, Speed Buggy, Funky Phantom, etc.)

It really is amazing that this janky ass 70s TV show has a cultural footprint as big as it does.

Sadly, large dogs rarely live past 15 years.

“There are a lot of incredible news organizations here tonight... as well as a few credible ones.”

Ok, but “The New York Post is like getting a summary of the New York Times read by a crackhead” legitimately made me laugh out loud. And leaving Michael Che out of the act in order to “Stand in solidarity with President Biden in also losing all his Black support” was a pretty trenchant observation. 

I thought the joke about the world being backwards when an 81 year old Catholic is the one fighting for abortion rights was pretty good. But yeah pretty weak set. I feel kinda bad for him though, he’s caught in between a rock and a hard place of “you’re here to makes jokes about the president/media but it’s an…

Authorized biopics are usually sanitized and dull.

It’s not appropriating the Holocaust to correctly describe the people that were targeted, persecuted, imprisoned and killed by the Nazis. It is not denying the fundamental anti-semitism of the Holocaust to recognize the multiple other groups that were also targeted, whatever their numbers. In fact, it is essential to…

J. K. Rowling is perhaps our greatest living author today.  I look forward to her next novel.

Transvestites killed by the Nazis were all either gay or Jewish. The idea that people were targetted for being trans in the modern sense when the concept was unheard of at the time is ridiculous.

First of all, no. You’re wrong. Second of all, even if true, so what? They absolutely targeted trans people. It’s not about “not liking” Rowling. It’s about the fact that she’s a bigoted piece of shit.

The ground work for this was set two decades ago with Captain Jack. Think of how beloved that character is and how Captain Jack would bed anyone and anything that he thought worth the effort.

From Wikipedia:

The main theory is that since the internet got massive in the ‘90s, “culture” started to stagnate then. I believe that outfits of a show like Buffy or friends don’t look as ridiculous to current teens as the outfits of the ’70s and ‘80s looked to those of us who were teens in the ‘90s
