The Glass Ceiling trailer is great because it shows how hilariously out of touch the BBC is in terms of actual social states these days. Of course, a corporation that recently had a small scandal about an Gender Pay Gap the BBC enforced with its own staff and presenters. Paying their female staff significantly less for the exact same work they were doing is going to try and throw these blocks of environmentally friendly tofu to the screaming twats in London.

Just remember, whatever leftards accuse others of doing they're probably doing it themselves.


This trailer seemed alright though. The writing team behind it seems ok with the new lead and while the BBC is pulling its usual attempts at DIVERDITEEEEEEEEEEEEEE tickbox shit the trailer looks ok.
 
Title was originally "Doctor Who has AlWAYS been Political".

Another chucklefuck whiteknighting for the new series. Because she's breaking the glass ceiling YAAAAS Kweeeen
is totally the same as some old man running about with cavemen.

Has anyone gotten a chance to hear the new River Song Box Set, and if so, is it worth getting?

The new Diary of River Song is kind of shit to be honest.

I don't think I feel strongly enough to do a full run down- the stories were mostly just meh aside from cringy social justard nonsense shoehorned in. At one point, River accuses a villain of "man-splaining" and at a later point, she unironically uses the word 'friendzone' to rebuff the same retarded villain's advances, because of course everyone wants to fuck River Song.

The entire box set makes a point to build up the 'strong female lead' by making almost every other male character a weenie, even the (male) villains suffer from this as previously hinted upon.

Not even the 4th Doctor is able to boost the set. He shows up in the very last story, and for reasons that I guess make sense in context, he is pretty much out of character for the entirety of it. (Think love-sick puppy for River).

Getting back to that actually, I am getting sick of all the contrivances as to why none of the Doctor's are allowed to remember their meetings with River when "the Doctor lies" was practically his catch phrase with River. (Who says he didn't actually know her all along?)

I actually *really* liked River Song Series 3, in large part because it avoided social justard bullshit. (And had great stories to boot) And the first 2 were pretty good as well.

I'd say avoid this.
 
The 14th Doctor made her comics debut this week.

Oh that reminds me, did you know that black people seeing the words “police box” on the tardis might trigger them? Well you do now!
 
Tell you what....

That were alright that was. Good names coming up in the series generally as well including Mark Addy and Art Malik.

Writing felt good pacing was pretty good and they seem to use the additional time well.

If they can keep this up this will actually be a good series.
 
It was really good. I'm glad the whole "Doctor is a woman" thing was addressed quickly without making a big deal about it.

Too bad the Watch Party segments in between were so cringe worthy. Not to mention Wil Wheaton showing up.

I thought it was okay. I like how that awesome armour the villain wore concealed a face so bloody ridiculous it could only be a Who Villain. Like a cross between the Tooth Fairy and the Predator. Also featuring the electric spaghetti monster.
 
Well blow me down, that was actually pretty good.

Not one bit of SJW bullshit in sight and for the first time Doctor Who genuinely feels like it's doing something fresh.

Whitaker's really likeable as the Doctor and you totally buy that she's the Doctor who just happens to be a woman now. They really don't shit their pants over that fact.

The supporting cast for the episode was really good too and I was genuinely sad when Ryan's Nan died - I thought she was great.

I even like the new theme music because it's really reminiscent of the classic series.

So far so good. Roll on the rest of the series!
 
It was pretty ok; I actually enjoyed it. Extremely glad that they didn't go full "grrl power" SJW. So far, it's just the Doctor, who happens to be a woman, doing Doctor things, which I hope continues.

I kind have would have preferred the grandma as a companion, at least compared to the three we got, but that's just based on one episode.
 
I was pleasantly surprised by that episode

Great pacing, though the Nan's death was obvious due to being not-Graham. I thought the new alien was a cool idea, though clearly a ripoff of the predators with a gross tooth thing and a lack of honour thrown in. I'm not sure how I feel about the new Doctor yet as the first episode post regeneration never shows the Doctor quite as they are yet, e.g. (Troughton), but it's looking good if perhaps a bit too cheery for my tastes. Also, can we talk about how good that cliffhanger was? Lost in the vacuum of space, nothing around to help them and I'm just thinking 'How are they going to get out of this?'

It seems to me that the season is going for a Keys of Marinus type thing where each episode is a new location with the last episode or two being a mission to reach the goal, and the Christmas episode (if there is one) likely being the first trip in the TARDIS. If nothing else they are clearly trying to invoke the journey home vibe of the early First Doctor run, with 'home' in this case being the TARDIS.

Yas is probably my favourite of the new companions though Graham is also pretty good in a 'doesn't want to get involved with aliens' way, reminding me of Mickey who really grew on me after a while. I will have to see them in more situations though to properly judge, as there's no telling what growth a character will go through.

Over all it feels so different to both of the NuHu show runners stylitically and that's just great as I was getting so tired of everything Moffatt. If the show keeps this up I might be a fan again

Edit: Quick addendum to my theory on story progression, as there are no multi-parters the last episode will either be the first trip in the TARDIS or the finding of, either way it will likely go a bit screwey
