Graham Norton being the one to deliver the news that Earth was dead was funny , but probably not for the reasons intended...
 
I have mixed feelings. I'm not entirely sure if the goat people were supposed to represent sand niggers or Jews (if it's the latter, them having horns is a hilarious case of accidental antisemitism), but I can't say I'm the biggest fan of the whitey evil nigger good trope being used. But man, Ncuti's damn good in this role and I really love his dynamic with Belinda. It's nice having a Tardis Team that doesn't have a romance going on but also isn't full of dykery as an excuse for the companion not fucking the Doctor. I also really loved the whole hologram thing, that was an excellent technobabble BS solution that also felt natural within the plot.

I will say that while I'm not huge on faggotry being shoved down my throat, the couple were solid. Definitely on the woke side of gay comic relief characters (no jokes about the abnormality of homosexuality but jokes that use their fagginess) which I feel is a societal ill that normalizes homosexuality to children, but they were funny enough and there were a few really solid visual gags.

As for Susan and the Rani, I think this is setting up saving Gallifrey yet again. I'm not huge on the new Rani being a jeet (seriously, the UK needs to hire an exterminator or something), but her last name literally being Punjabi made me lol (that's like being named saar or street shitter). I also like that they finally used bigeneration for something. I think having a dominant, mastermind Rani and a submissive, servant Rani is a fun concept and God I hope they don't fuck it up in the finale.

Anyway all in all, I'd probably give this episode a 7/10. The second weakest of this season, but considering how good this season's been, that's not bad at all.

Also was the presenter some British celebrity? I've never been pozzed enough to watch Eurovision or any British reality television other than GBBO

Yeah he's a Brit celeb. I believe he hosts the English language of Eurovision, but don't quote me on that. Having sat on it for a while, I don't think this episode is all that bad but the reveal fell a little flat for me. New woman has the original's mannerisms down at least.

I suppose you could make the argument that Pertwee was the first attractive Doctor with his dashing aristocrat doing James Bond shit. Weirdly Tom Baker's weird bohemian clown was considered attractive too he especially took the show to it's second most highest ratings and had the hottest girl companions of course.

I knew a fair number of dork girl Who fans back in the day and they all utterly adored Baker.
I always considered Davison the most attractive Doctor.

He's the most conventionally attractive, at least before Tennant.
 
Speaking of Classic Doctor Who.

I'm back into collecting the classic series DVDs again. I've mentioned before one thing I like to do is make digital backups. I also like to organize them in "story order."

One problem: For some reason, the DVDs stopped putting a convenient "Story #" on the back of the case. And apparently different lists disagree (Wikipedia for example counts "Shada" as story 108.5 but an older DVD release numbers it 109, Wikipedia also counts "Trial of a Time Lord" as one story whereas the numbering on the DVDs calls it four).

Okay, to make a question out of this...

Where are these DVDs getting their numberings from? I read somewhere there was some source for it but I can't recall where or what it said.

I think it's from a period when they had been trying to match up the TV/VHS/DVD with the books which had numbers too.

It makes sense until you read/watch it and understand that the Doctor is time traveling and you can't watch/read them in order and expect any more/less understanding of events.

I take back what I said. This is toxic troonslop. The faggots almost fooled me by not including a tranny character but it's written by a troon. Luckily the leftist fuckers on Twitter are eating him alive so hopefully he kills himself before the next season goes into production.

Wow that is a beautiful stack of books.....

Keeping them properly numbered is more about organization than about understanding the canon or anything like that. That said I have long entertained a notion of one day watching every Doctor Who story (or reading/listening to the ones where the TV version no longer exists) in their original order. There is something fun about watching how a thing changes and evolves over time.

EDIT: Also no, the "story #" on the DVD does not match up to the order of the books--the DVD numbering is the order the stories aired on television (or were meant to, in any case--I think I heard somewhere that for whatever reason, the first broadcast of Peter Davison's introduction episode Castrovalva wound up happening after the first broadcast of his second episode, Four to Doomsday... but Castrovalva is clearly meant to be first and that's what the DVD numbering said).

The book numbering has absolutely nothing to do with the DVD numbering. The books are just whatever order the serials were novelized, and considering the first to be novelized were three Dalek stories... yeah.

So if all Timelords can just Bi Generate..does that mean there there are two masters out there?

Some people have theorized that it's the Rani experimenting on The Doctor...somehow. It's easy to miss, but someone with a clearly female hand picks up the gold tooth (that contained The Master) at the end of The Giggle. Wouldn't surprise me if one Rani was able to develop bigeneration this way.

I will never understand the love for Hell Bent and the Missy shit as a whole (although that last episode with the Cybermen was solid). It's one of the worst bits of the entire Moffat era. One of the few good things I can say about the Chibnall era is that he just ignored it and brought the Master back as the Master. I know everyone involved in the modern era is adamant about avoiding the status quo of the classic series by not letting us get traditional Master or Gallifrey stories, but we're at a point where this subversion has gone on longer than said original status quo did. The War Games was twenty when Who went off the air, so the whole lonely god with no home bullshit is as old as the Time Lords were when the show ended.

i liked the missy stuff, it was essentially just moffat taking what rtd had already started with redeeming the master and giving a sexual subtext to it, but with some actual drama beyond fapfic potential. hell bent was a weird prophetic note of what would happen with geeky franchises come the late 2010s: have a decent, character-focused build up and then leap headfirst into subverting expectations while also still doing tons of cameos. So you piss off the sophisticated character development people, while pandering to funko popoholics while pretending you're being avant guarde

Hell Bent is Doctor Who's own TLJ, the Timeless Child is like TLJ 2.0, then the Sutekh stuff is TLJ 3.0. Just imagine the next decade of Doctor Who as a million TLJs forever

wait, so were they LOSING disney money? lmaoo
 
Of course, if the show had been the success Disney was hoping it would be they would have already ordered more seasons. But it came out as the backlash to woke was beginning to fuck over Disney's bottom line.
 
it's poetry that doctor who was always about accepting change, to the point our biggest fear was that when they decided to undo decades of change and bring back the fat gay wanker from 2005 that they'd compensate with a meta plot about the Toymaker representing the fanbase. Instead we got a fucking monkey's paw of the opposite: introducing a concept which undercuts change and growth immediately so RTD can make Two-inch Tennant his own personal immortal OC
