Ncuti Gatwa is a fantastic Doctor. Millie Gibson was a fine companion, if unremarkable. The increased production value thanks to Disney and the basically competent direction that was lacking under Chibnall’s era were nice (more the direction than the money, if I’m being honest).

I think the “pivot to fantasy” concept had a deleterious effect on the series. The show was already steeped in fantasy, so turning to goblins and faeries seemed like a good enough idea but it didn’t rise to meet my expectations. RTD was never my favorite writer, and his worst tendencies seemed exacerbated throughout.…

It was bad. While I loved all the wokeness and rage-baiting the right, the stories were bad. Even two of the better episodes, Boom and Dot and Bubble, had major logic errors. The final episode was just stupid. I saw a clip on youtube from the official Doctor Who channel where RTD just came out and said, “why is Ruby’s…

I’m not sure that RTD could even say. It definitely started out as a pro-life commentary then went sort of scattershot at general conservative dipshittery

I thought the metaphor in "The Devil's Chord" was the conservative British government trying to kill off the BBC and the arts in general. But YMMV.

I know the show’s always been loose with the science at the best of times, and that sci-fi isn’t REALLY what it’s about, but I’m just really not into these ‘the rules of reality are totally different now and anything can happen just go with it’ storylines, despite my love of Neil Patrick Harris!

Only note on your recaps is on Space Babies because RTD crammed a lot into it. What if we use space babies and a snot monster as a metaphor for how conservatives treat life in the womb vs once they’re out.

So far this season seems to be leaning into the whimsy and wonder. Not complaining. 

It definitely sounds like RTD is back.... for better and for worse.

I am glad that Ncuti’s Doctor and Ruby appear to have more chemistry than they did in the Christmas special because, whew... that was a rough one to sit through.

I feel like RTD (and really all the show runners) could use a Classic Who script editor…

the nation that nearly had to be cancelled because of half of Janet Jackson’s left nipple must be protected from outright filth like Bluey! What if it distracted children from shooting their teachers?  Won’t someone think of the children??

I mean, nearly wrecked is click baity, as I’m sure it was designed to be. But DS9 is an excellent example of how Trek can test and strain its stated values while ultimately reaffirming them and it stands in stark contrast to efforts from shows like Discovery or Picard, which to varying degrees ultimately ignore,…

Because he hasn’t run over any innocent people yet. Gotta give him a chance to really prove how dangerous he is, apparently. 

I came here specifically to talk about that. Did he rob a cartoon character??

The dude is wrapped in cheetos sweats, driving a cheetos-themed car.  The mschf boots are the least cheesy thing going on in this picture.

I think there’s an honest conversation to be had about whether this individual is truly a goofus maloofus or more of a dorkus malorkus.

Officers gave him a verbal warning about speeding in highly populated city areas, and he was released.

This judge is a hero. He should move to Alabama. There are a lot of these Charger jackasses that need to be neutered. Especially the one clown who keeps waking up the entire neighborhood at 2:30 every morning. I really hate this fool.

And “goofus maloofus”...good one.

There.  I fixed the headline for you.

I haven’t seen She-Hulk, but Daredevil’s original costume from the comics was yellow, so most likely it was a reference to the character’s history.
