Doctor Who

[(Anonymous)]

I fucking told people RTD would be a shitshow. I told people he'd somehow bring back his own fucking "glory days" because RTD is a hack.

People didn't believe me, but here we are.

Re: Doctor Who

[(Anonymous)]

what's this based on

Re: Doctor Who

[(Anonymous)]

Spoilers, but apparently the Doctor has just regenerated back into David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor. Ncuti Gatwa will be playing the Fifteenth Doctor instead.

Re: Doctor Who

[(Anonymous)]

But is the episode good or bad?

Re: Doctor Who

[sparklywalls]

I'm a lifelong fan as in, I was born (just) when the show was originally airing and I watched repeats with my dad during the hiatus.

I quite liked it. Wasn't amazing but wasn't terrible, I found it better than The Timeless Children, which I didn't like at all. It was pure fanservice and I'm still not sure about some of the plot decisions in relation to the lore but I liked the callbacks and that it addressed that of course you'd be a bit fucked up as a former companion and want to find others to talk to about it.

Re: Doctor Who

Horrible, as a portent to come. It's basically nostalgiabait and RTD wanking himself and going, "See??? Ten! You remember Ten and how amazing I--er, I mean he was, right!?"

Re: Doctor Who

[(Anonymous)]

I like Tennant and dislike Ncuti. So there.

Re: Doctor Who

[(Anonymous)]

Tennant's Doctor need to be retired and never come back because all RTD is doing is using him to wank himself into dust

Re: Doctor Who

[(Anonymous)]

And?

Re: Doctor Who

[(Anonymous)]

doesn't the whole timeless child debacle mean we need to add like a million to each of those numbers

Re: Doctor Who

[(Anonymous)]

I honestly thought you were trolling until I Googled. Just... wow.

Oh! He's the kid from 'Sex Education'....
Oh, he's not a kid. :D

Re: Doctor Who

[(Anonymous)]

The episode hasn't aired here yet, but I read the spoilers and thought it was pretty obvious that was gonna happen when we found out David Tennant and Catherine Tate were back.

Re: Doctor Who

[philstar22]

Ugh. I hope they come up with a better explanation than this being the Doctor's favorite face or something like that. Tennant's Doctor is so overrated.

Re: Doctor Who

[(Anonymous)]

I can already visualize the people at the bbc getting desperate for doctor who to regain any kind of popularity it once had and instantly approved of Tennant because of it.

I also notice that for the most part, especially with it being the celebration of the BBC's 100th year - most of the reference to Doctor Who in trailers or overall "The BBC is amazing!!" footage have largely consisted of anyone one (mostly between the 10th and 11th doctor) before Jodi's doctor.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it but for a while either the BBC didn't really want to acknowledge Jodi's doctor running up until her last episode or maybe She has had enough beyond what she had to do for the show near the end of her run. It's especially telling with the bullshit that went down with making the Flux series (by cutting the episodes down from 10 to 8 and then only 6 episodes when it looked like filming had already started, so the story line had to be altered and seem to set it up to fail due to not getting the popularity that DW had in the past).

Even though I'm one of the people who really haven't been enjoying this run of Doctor who, I do feel particularly depressed about the fact that the first 'female Doctor' is going to get the 2000s Catwoman movie treatment as an excuse to never let a woman be the doctor again "because look what happened when we did!!" ideology. Nevermind that even with a male lead the stories would have still been pretty bad - mediocre.

Re: Doctor Who

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed to all of this!

Re: Doctor Who

[(Anonymous)]

I'm just grateful the current shitshow is over. Let the decade's worth of fixfics begin.

Re: Doctor Who

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe my standards are just low, but I really don’t care about David Tennant being the Fourteenth Doctor as long as the specials end up being fun. Thirteen’s final episode was sort of a mess plot-wise, but man was it fun and it’s easily one of my favorite episodes from her run.

Re: Doctor Who

[(Anonymous)]

So you're telling me that the fifth person playing the role of Doctor in this era of the show was an upbeat likable blonde who often played the role as distinctly alien, suffered from often poor quality during their tenure due largely to the incompetence of the person in charge of writing their scripts, and whose final episode was also one of the strongest of their run

GBBO rant

[(Anonymous)]

I've just caught up with the Halloween episode and honestly if it wasn't for the likable contestants and just checking in to see what Noel Fielding is wearing, I probably would have given up on this show a few series ago when they made baking contestants do an outdoor barbecue as a technical.
Also I'm never getting over the 'Just make a lemon meringue' bullshit technical challenge from the week before.

Re: GBBO rant

[(Anonymous)]

I actuslly thought the lemon meringue pie challenge was a good one although probably more fitting for later in the season

But, yeah, they've gotten really bad at coming up with challenges. I think maybe they're too worried about repeating themselves? Idk

Re: GBBO rant

[greghousesgf]

the only thing I like about Noel is his clothes

Re: GBBO rant

[(Anonymous)]

I'm still annoyed about Mexican week. Even if you overlook the casual racism, it was so ridiculously half-assed. Yes, yes, there aren't many Mexican restaurants in the UK. Have people heard of research? Like you might do when you're planning a show that supposedly celebrates a specific culture and cuisine?

Re: GBBO rant

[(Anonymous)]

They watched some Americans on youtube doing Mexican food, what more do you want?
