Huh, interesting. I feel like with a title like that, comedy is the only way to go. It's too edgy to take it seriously.

[(Anonymous)]

S2 hits some dark points, but yeah, ultimately it’s a comedy.

[(Anonymous)]

I was expecting comedy. I wasn’t expecting it to lean so hard into the cringe comedy side of things. Oh well.

They are attempting to win back the crowd that got pissed off by Moffat and Chibbers, but without undoing any of the shit Chibbers and Moffie did that pissed them off. So that is doomed to failure on that score, but they are recalling stuff from the non Chibnall era that means the both of the Chibbers fans are gonna be pissed off at the reminder that Doctor Who was anything other than that, so doomed on that score too. The moral of the story, work out who you want to please and stick with it.

So just hit that motherfucking big red reset button already and get us out of this shit before you Chib us into another twenty year cancellation.

[(Anonymous)]

Generally agree on this tbh. I hope the plot over the next two specials can justify it somehow, because as much as I love Donna Noble, The Star Beast did feel a lot like RTD just going back to his best stuff from the past.

[(Anonymous)]

They are attempting to win back the literal millions of casual viewers who drifted away over the years, from all the ridiculously convoluted plot lines and emphasis on specialness instead of ordinary (Moffat); and/or all the obscure knowledge of Who-lore that only the most in-depth, decades-old fans would care about (Chibnall).

RTD never forgot that Doctor Who has to appeal to as broad a viewer base as possible. Both Moffat and Chibnall kind of forgot that.

I say this as a Chibnall fan who enjoyed Thirteen's storyline.

[(Anonymous)]

You do know that fans are calling him Fourteen because RTD and Auntie Beeb insist on that, right? And it does make a kind of sense; Ten was gone and didn’t experience what 11-13 experienced. The base characterisation is still the same as Ten but already we’re seeing the influences of everyone between. And in a couple weeks Fifteen will take over and have a new characterisation.

[sparklywalls]

I loved the Ten-Donna era and even I rolled my eyes when this was announced but... I actually quite enjoyed the special last night. My cynicism levels were pretty high beforehand but it was fun. I know it's pandering but I liked how it felt like an event again.

Also fwiw I feel like this new-old incarnation is coming across as older and wearier, not just because Tennant has obviously aged. I also think I'm just glad they brought him back with Donna, all he ever needed really was a friend.

[(Anonymous)]

I thought I'd never see the day when the backlash to Ten's overexposure would reach such heights! It's quite interesting, and also a reminder of how much time really has passed.

It's amazing how a decade and a half can at once feel so long, and also as though it went by in the blink of an eye. I am growing old.

[(Anonymous)]

I don’t know, Grover Cleveland was both the 22nd and 24th President of the US because his terms had another president between them (Benjamin Harrison) and that’s the way people tend to count things like that. I mean, isn't it the regeneration that they're counting, or do I have that wrong?

[(Anonymous)]

Chibnall and Moffat fans have spent a fucking decade whining about how persecuted they are, and then RTD comes back and they're right back to ceaseless RTD hate.

You have to laugh.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I don't like it either. I've always liked that Doctor Who moves forward with new Doctors and showrunners so going back for anything other than a multi-Doctor story just feels wrong.

[(Anonymous)]

The thing that worries me the most is a quote I read that said this version of Tennant's Doctor would be more human. Which, IMHO, is the exact opposite of what they should be doing. The worst part of Ten was how human he was. At least for me, the Doctor works best when he's clearly at least a little alien.

eugh boy, I see why this is a secret lmao. honestly? you are probably valid, OP. probably - because idk and idc about his VAs other roles, so mb you have a point. and also I can see how it's easy to hate rise!Leo, I am honestly surprised he's one of the faves, but it's 80% thanks to the movie alone imo.
that all said... oof, my condolences on being wrong, to me rise!Leo is easily one of the most interesting turtles out of all of them. THE most interesting Leonardo for sure, for me personally. mind you, I'm a casual tmnt fan with "controversal" opinions (I saw TMNT 2007 as a teen and still love it, imo it's a solid movie with solid plot. and I lowkey hated TMNT:MM despite loving the animation style and overall idea of making mutant characters into proper supporting chars instead of villains of a day).
...but yeah, this is a secret alright. that's rough, buddy. /pat pat

If there’s a season 3 of Loki I want it to be about Sylvie’s adventures working at McDonald’s. Dealing with snotty kids and their Karen moms, trying to win Employee of the Month, using her god powers to make chicken nuggets. And Mobius has to visit in every episode. And in one episode they’re all out of apple pie and she has to be the one to tell him and the whole situation is as melodramatic as possible.

Not me automatically wondering “is this about me?” despite the fact that I’m 100% aware of how bad I am at gaming and the last time a friend got me into a new game was over 10 years ago…

Reviews you've found puzzling, silly, etc

[(Anonymous)]

I was reminded today, out of the blue, about a professionally-written review I'd read for 'Children of Men' back when the movie came out. The critic complained that the film hadn't sufficiently explained why humans losing the ability to reproduce would make people feel like it was the end of the world. It gave me pause as the time, as I hadn't thought that was something that needed to be spelled out.

What's a review that you've read that's puzzled you, or that you thought was silly? Hell, what's a review you've read that you thought was just plain bad?
