I’m on board, though not as enthusiastically as I had been in prior outings.

The Doctor #15 started out in the ditch (disliked the Xmas special, I will never watch “Space Babies” again, and though it began strong, “73 Yards” is a big miss for me) but the show has generally improved bit by bit.

I’m still not a fan of…

By that time, I had already concluded she was being classist because of her prior comments but I went back and watched that final scene again and it is pretty clear to me now that she’s being racist. Maybe that was the point, to obscure the (only sort-of offensive) classist take on her character that lull’s the…

I took the “you’re not one of us” comment to mean his socio-economic status. These are the uber-rich after all. Lindy saw him as working class, thanked him for doing his job of getting her out as he should have, but otherwise had no time for him. The main reason I didn’t, and still don’t, see the racist angle is…

“Space babies!” The first thing I thought of was, “Dinosaurs! In space!” Not a compliment since I disliked that episode too. Cutesy to the point of diabetic coma. I suppose if this appeals to British sensibilities then that might explain it even if I found the whole thing to as interesting as a half-inflated balloon.…

Have they not met people?

While I have my issues with the narrative and its pacing, the visuals of this movie are amazing and this sequence was the most striking. Worth seeing on IMAX if you can.

I’m 3 episodes in and I’d give it a B-.

RIAA counts 150 streams = 1 certification unit. This means that the song has been streamed 3 billion times, not 20 million as stated in the article (assuming all units are streaming).

Christmas specials are often fun romps - my favorite to this day is still the Spider Queen - and this one was too. Some very interesting story tidbits and Whologic that kept the story moving along at a nice clip (and I enjoyed the Labyrinth similarities which I have to assume was intentional). However, Doc #15 and…

I couldn’t figure out why I didn’t like this special given that there was a lot I did like and there wasn’t anything specific that I didn’t . Then you wrote this -

“I gave away ALL my MONEY?!!!”

I’m not saying the show shouldn’t have it, just that I don’t find the type of relationship drama they have chosen to include here to be original or interesting given the setting. Sexist men overly devoted to their jobs, unexpectedly qualified women holding in their screams - seen it so many times before in shows and…

I tried two episodes and gave up. Couldn’t get past the same relationship drama that I’ve seen in every other movie and TV show about the space race.

Glad to finally see some movement on this. I have friends that in VFX that love what they do but they are worked to the bone.

10% more Futurama than the leading brand.

Thank the stars I chose to binge this again last summer. The month after I was done was when it got yanked.

Disco finishes post later this year so it makes sense for Paramount to wait until afterward to give serious budgetary consideration to a new show which will require new sets, contracts, etc. 2024 will give us two live-action shows (Discovery S5 and STN S3) and presumably two animated shows (Lower Decks and Prodigy) so …

It’s not bad but I’m only mildly interested. Wish they had kept more of the comic origin, like just Paco and Brenda being in the know and La Dama as the big bad. I don’t really care about the ties to Ted Kord so if it is going to be here, I hope it ends up being more than just a fan-service-y plot device.

On its own its a pretty good episode but given the stellar season we’ve had so far, comparatively it’s just serviceable: great in some parts, just meh in others.

It was genius! As I watched the scene unfurl, I was thinking, “Well now they MUST know they are real.”
