One of her sons is a gay drag queen and finally wants to watch the show because of Doctor Niggerfaggot ☪️

The Twitter video in this Link has her doing his hair and seems to indicate it is s her youngest , who would've just turned 20 this year.

"White kids burned it down" indeed
 
All the talk about the david tenant stuff the past few months is just unintentionally making me think about that one Hotel security guard I saw at some convention in New York back in somewhere between 2014-2017 or some shit (doesn't feel like as long as it was and i'm bad with specific years). The guy was a deadass doppleganger of David tennant visually but his voice was nothing like him and I don't think he even ever watched the show. Actual non-tennant doctor who actor guys were guests at the convention and of course this resulted in congoers occasionally bothering the dude. I kinda wonder where he is now he was pretty chill compared to most security workers I've dealt with, then again most security guys I've dealt with were power tripping convention jannies and mall cops. Hoping his resemblance to some dude he didn't even know about didn't end up ruining his fucking life.

Ace was a companion to the 7th Doctor and the 7th Doctor is the last time (before this one) that left-wing political writers sunk the show. Ace (played by Sophie Aldred) uttered one of the worst lines in Who history which was about how "White kids burned it down". Referencing some vandalism or other.

Just for anyone who thinks heavy-handed left wing idpol only appeared in Nu Who. IIRC, the Happiness Patrol episodes were a direct reference to Thatcher but I was probably too young to understand.
 
Yeah

Yeah I know about the ( ironic ) firebombing line from Ghost Light. I'm under no illusion about the shows political miasma...

I thought maybe I'd missed her foaming about white people in the article or something

Not that I noticed. I think it was just a chance to highlight previous hamfisted politicking. I would post the clip but it causes me physical pain.

Ghost Light revealed that Ace had a black female friend who was murdered when a bunch of skinheads burnt down her house, killing her. This basically set Ace off down a road to juvenile deliquency including burning down the house that was the setting of Ghost Light in her then present.

IIRC, the New Adventures novel later had Ace reunite with a parallel earth version of her dead black friend who died as well, in a story that implied that Ace was in love with her black female friend and that her hate for her mother stemmed from the fact that she knew Ace was bisexual and not having any of it especially when Ace was mourning her crush's death.

Also, should be noted that Happiness Patrol was so god-awful that it basically was a death knell for the series in a LOT of circles at the time of airing and for a good time afterwards. Not just for the Thatcher bashing (and implying her husband was a fag who was just looking for an excuse to leave her) but also the main monster design (which got the show in super hot water as it ripped off a popular British candy compnay mascot).

It's reputation has somewhat improved only in the sense that it's defenders will point out that it works as a homage of sorts to the OF First Doctor's era as a homage of sorts to the batshit craziness of the Hartnell era. But in general, it's the only episode from the McCoy era that most people are OK with skipping due to how utterly out of place with the rest of the McCoy era stuff.

OOD: We have nothing else in life.
ROSE: Yeah, well, I used to think like that, a long time ago.

Think she just meant that last part, since she was a 19 year old chav who worked in a diner, implied to have 0 prospects of getting a better life. Idk how much the earlier companion's backstories played a part of their characters but Rose feels like she just exists in a protagonist void and things like that phone call to her mother are the few reminders that she's supposed to have had a life on Earth.

Ok if you were doing 2 commander decks of Dr Who villains, how would you divide them up?

I'd divide it to Cybermen and Dalek tribal with both Masters (Missy or Pajeet for Cybermen and Saxon or Pajeet for Daleks). Like you can't make a deck with conflicting directions of where it wants to go.

1) Her friend was Indian, not black.

2) The New Adventures *never* implied Ace was in love with her friend, nor did they ever imply that she was bisexual. All of that is bullshit you made up. I know this because I own the entire run of NAs.

3) Delta and the Bannermen is far worse than Happiness Patrol.

4) Shut your fucking cakehole, because you have zero idea what you're talking about (as usual) and are making shit up (as usual).

There is some irony in that the villain deck, the cybermen and daleks actually combo VERY well together.

Though I'm old school enough I'd lean into a villainous "alien" deck (which would cover cybermen and daleks) and a villainous Time Lord deck (Master, Valeyard, the Monk) + maybe any other "eternal" like figures like the Celestial Toymaker and others.

I just want to say I kind of enjoy the show you two are doing. @MirrorNoir to give us the autistic write up - then you to give us the details.

Unless you want to start giving us the autistic write up.

I can understand that, but I was thinking about what would Hasbro/WotC will do.

lol well in that case take the dumbest option possible and... oh wait. ;)

Yeah since we know what they would do (as they have now done it - happy release day tomorrow, everyone!), I was asking just out of pure day dream & wish fulfillment.
