I’m not following it closely, but I find it funny how people were obsessed with how utterly devoted to each other Morticia and Gomez were and romanticised it as the perfect relationship until the exact second they stopped finding Gomez conventionally attractive.

The Addams Family has literally always been about the acceptance of what society deemed to be outcasts and how differences should be celebrated, not shunned. Clearly a lot of its “fans” seem to have somehow not picked up on that at all.

This criticism isn’t limited to just Kerblam. Its reductionist presentation of the Civil Rights movement, its treatment of queer characters, especially Thasmin , and the Nazi Master thing are all such badly-handled wannabe-leftist, actually-on-the-fence moments.

The 7th Doctor: *does actual fucking nonsensical magic somehow to get them out of a pickle*. Ace: how did you do that Doctor?. The 7th Doctor: Everything crumbles to dust eventually. Nothing survives the eternal march of time, not even gods *pulls 6 eggs out of his nose*.
The 1st Doctor: *does actual fucking nonsensical magic somehow to get them out of a pickle*. The companions: how did you do that Doctor?. The 1st Doctor: shut the fuck up you fucking idiots.

One thing I love about Inferno is that it’s a deep, serious and dark exploration into the very real dangers of fascism, but then it has like a whole minute of the Doctor just doing this

The Star Beast will be the 4th time we’ve seen an extended universe story adapted on screen, so I’m now wondering: will it follow the same pattern as being a new story in its own right, or take a new approach and have the Doctor acknowledge the story as having happened before?

Campy theatrical villain with a black-and-white colour scheme played by a queer actor? I’m not saying there’s a good chance they’re playing the same character, buuuut….👀👀👀

@bbcdoctorwho Everyone saying 60th, it actually means the 50th year of Target novels, as the first one was published in 1973.

@namedinstant @MewtwoNega But when that’s all that’s provided, the wider subtext of the story follows suit. The Doctor doesn’t actually speak out against anything Kerblam does, and neither does the story, it’s only real message is that people who want change are mad and should just calm down.

@dweeeebles Well no, Kerblam was about the robotisation of workplaces and how people were now struggling to make ends meet because the system is designed to only support people with jobs. But for some reason that’s not the bad thing, the bad thing is when people try to change that.

@theshapeburns Honestly I’d be thinking the same, cause Saw is always seen as the “crappy cheap torture porn” franchise, and especially given the reception of the most recent films I’d expect there to be some pushback, but nope.

@MaxKashevsky That’s the thing with Doctors, literally nobody makes a slightly correct guess, and the name always comes completely out of left field when they’re revealed. And that’s absolutely how it should be.

I really hope this is just me being cynical but I hope that Sontarans vs Rutans doesn't start a new trend of Big Finish splitting boxsets into single stories so they can charge more for the full set and squeeze as much money as they can out of them.

Can’t this just be the actual 4th Doctor? There’s no reason it has to be a retrobigenerated Doctor when it can just literally be the same one, like old companions coming back and travelling with the same Doctor they used to is not unprecedented.
So is this meant to be the BIGENERATED fourth doctor that Leela just gets to travel around with now?

For the DWM comics to fit into TV continuity, 6 would have to drop Peri off, meet Frobisher, pick Peri back up, drop Frobisher off, live the rest of his life, regenerate, drop Mel off, pick Peri & Frobisher back up, then drop Peri off again, then Frobisher, then pick Mel up again.

New minor conspiracy theory of mine is that the reason the AI made up a random villain called The Unknown for the Willy’s Chocolate Experience is because of the announcement of the new Dead by Daylight killer, The Unknown
New details on the Willy Wonka Experience disaster. • Script was '15 pages of AI-generated gibberish'. • Made up a villain called The Unknown — 'an evil chocolate maker who lives in the walls'. • Event had no chocolate — kids were given a single jelly bean & a cup of lemonade

@vamp1rekid It’s honesty one of my favourite part of Saw, the unique way absolutely everything is unbelievably filthy, rusty and decrepit. Just an absolute visual cesspool, I unironically love it so much.

Me in 2013: Why did Moffat bring back the Zygons for the 50th? They’re such an obscure and relatively unknown monster, why use them for such a massive occasion?. Me in 2022: BEEP THE MOTHERFUCKING MEEP IN THE 60TH LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!.

@dweeeebles That’s the point, if people had other means outside of their jobs there wouldn’t be a problem, but the capitalist system has been set up in such a way that they’re dependant on it and being left in the dust when an easier and more cost efficient way turns up.

@TVOrangeMan I never watched past series 12 and don’t give a single fuck about Thasmin, what annoyed me was the fact that they started going into it just enough to appease the people that did ship it, but didn’t actually do anything meaningful with it so they didn’t step on anyone’s toes.

This paired with the fact the Empire of Death title card was a TARDIS…there is definitely something going on here
Updated shot: we’ve seen the Doctor leaning out of the TARDIS in space screaming. The interior has been fully lit and… WAIT A MINUTE THAT IS THE REMEMBERED TARDIS! EXCUSE ME WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT FRICKING WHATTTTTTT. Either this is a fakeout or we all gonna meltdownnnn!~

I think one of the big missteps of the later Saw films is on how they use technology. Part of the horror and the unique feel of the early Saw films, especially the original trilogy, was in how grimy, stripped down, simple and barbaric the technology Jigsaw used was

If the idea that there’s gonna be a 60th anniversary series rather than a single special, I hope it’s structured similar to Legacy of Time. An anthology of separate stories with different characters that all link together in the end when everyone unites to fight the common threat

@carouselshotgun Giving a similar vibe to the Nerve Gas house, only it’s all in one room. It fits really well, how they all gathered in a operating room to watch John being sentenced to death, now they have to watch each other die (or live? We’ll see).

So now he’s confirmed as the Toymaker, and The Giggle looks to be referencing Stookie Bill, a toy used in the development of TV, and he appears to be puppeteering events….It’s looking more and more like he’s going to be a riff on nostalgia and fan culture in current media

One little detail from The War Doctor Begins that I love is that they use new sound effects for the TARDIS controls, unlike the effects that are used in John Hurt’s audios. It leans into the idea that the messy coral console is the result of the Doctor patching it up overtime
