#drwho

23 posts20 participants1 post today

I like to imagine a brief interaction in #DrWho -- The Doctor has encountered a relatively primitive society and wants to learn how much they know about science....

Doctor: Tell me, what do you know about the stars?
Local scholar: Ah, the stars in the sky are actually suns...
Doctor: Yes!
Local scholar: ... and daughters...
Doctor: No!

Just watched Dr. Who: Planet of Evil. It was really good. Great sets, FX and fantastic, over the top, acting. The plot was a little nebulous and what should been the most tense part was replaced by the line "I had a chat with it". All in all, solid fun.

So far, my rankings for Tom Baker are:
1. Ark in Space
2. Revenge of the Cybermen
3. Genesis of the Daleks
4. Planet of Evil
5. Terror of the Zygons
6. Sontaran Experiment
7. Robot

Next it's Pyramids of Mars!

Scripting my podcast, I needed a short break. And made the mistake to read an article about the parallel reality on the other side of the pond. OMG. 😱 🥶

Only *one* short article and you're torn between accusing this #felon regime of massive abuse of a completely derailed designer drug or believing that aliens have taken over the White House and are secretly farting. Can someone pls call the Doctor!?! youtube.com/watch?v=tYX2VhXxEIc

Nice piece about the new Doctor Who crew, minimal spoilers.

"It is a good sign, surely, that Doctor Who and his new time-travelling companion seem to get along. When we enter the room to interview Ncuti Gatwa and Varada Sethu in New York, they are in fits of laughter. It is the back end of a conversation about their mothers washing dishes.

"And if that tells us next to nothing about the new season of Doctor Who, it does tell us that numbers one and two on the call sheet – still crying with laughter – have developed a rapport."

@Angelaswf @AngelaScholder @spatula they do include iPlayer from after the programme I believe. I agree that live viewing is not so relevant these days, but it’s still a really poor showing and even in terms of relevant ranking that is bad.

People have lost #DrWho. Tbh I’m not surprised, last season was miserable. This is much better so far but probably still not connecting.

Finally caught up with the new episode. 2 eps in and Belinda is shaping up to be one of my favourite companions. The banter between Ncuti Gatwa and Varada Sethu works amazingly. 'Lux' was a little meta, bit weird, a bit out there, at points funny, also creepy, with a touch of heartbreak by the end. I really liked it, peak Doctor Who!
