The Chibnall era of Who has been pleasant enough that I still got a little choked up watching the Doctor bid one final farewell to her fam.

And he mumbled a few of his lines.

If Whedon really wanted to scare Gadot, he would have sent a shoeless, brown child carrying a piece of rubble from his village that was just bulldozed. That, apparently, is terrifying to the IDF.

“Now normally in this situation I would just snipe the guy in the kneecaps from several yards away, but then I remembered that I wasn’t dealing with a 12 year old Palestinian boy throwing rocks.”

The IDF is intimidated by children with rocks and kites . . .

Soldier for apartheid regime =/= badass.

Tally up the harm Joss Whedon has caused over his life and the harm that Gal Gadot caused as a proud instrument of the IDF, and I think the latter has absolutely no ground to stand on whatsoever.

Yes, I hope the former IDF soldier kicked that toxic dude’s ass! That former IDF soldier deserves our plaudits for this one. #girlboss

And spent a lifetime in power voting against everyone having Healthcare. What a guy!

He broke with the Republicans like 2% of the time! He was a maverick!

“In Congress, the liberal wing will descend into internal squabbling about how to best honor the memory of John McCain.”

I think that was more metaphorical based on past actions from them. Which, fair. I’ve had to sit and watch many liberals of late slobber all over the memories of the evil dead, like Barbara Bush or McCain. I’m pretty tired of the G. Dubs apologia as well from purported liberals.

To me that line spoke of the stupid and…

I sure wish the Clintons would fade into the background.  30 years of them is really quite enough.  

Oh, Hillary. Fully retiring is an option.

And the neoliberal machine has managed to beat another great point into submission. As if a fucking apology was needed for pointing out that people are still going to suffer. Did he jeopardize your cozy view of the future now that Trump is leaving office? Are you uncomfortable at the idea that “normal” is still…

His “Horse Loose in a Hospital” is still the best take on Trump to date.

One of the weirder parts of Chibnall’s time running the show is that he doesn’t seem to find it at all necessary to give villains any kind of real comeuppance. Most of the time, Thirteen just gives them a stern talking-to and then leaves them free to pull the same shit again, and the rare times one of them does get…

I guess they’ll all be extras, but I thought maybe he’d like for someone to cameo as a patient in the Kunduz hospital he bombed, for example.

I was momentarily annoyed that Drake, a creep, would be slated to play him and then thought. Ah. Okay. Yeah, whoever you want, Barack. I guess Drake’s selling point is thus far, he has not had people killed on shitty pretexts...as far as I know!

Since they won’t have any lines, the extras agency will handle that.
