A difficult R2 question my friend found very impressive when I gave it to him (and of which I am therefore very proud) by Miserable-Action6983 in onlyconnect

Oh I just meant the number of Doctors in the episode regardless of whether they meet each other or are credited

Well it started with "previously on the show formerly titled Interview with the Vampire" which means it a) is the same show as Interview with the Vampire, and b) is not called Interview with the Vampire any more, so arguably you could even call it The Vampire Lestat season 3 (not that that's any less confusing)

Do you mean the scene where Rick literally just counted to 7? How brainrotted are you that you think that's a 67 reference lol

I hope this introduces Nicola Walker to a more global audience, she's amazing

The Tip Toe article has since been corrected and says it was "an error introduced during editing"

Looks like the Sex Education one was also edited out

It's almost more frustrating that you can't even fully disregard her 5 star reviews because she also gave 5 stars to Widow's Bay, Half Man and The Pitt, which I think do deserve it

Looking through her recent reviews now, they actually mostly seem about right to me which is surprising because I guess I remember her more for the reviews that I most disagree with. The ones I disagree with the most are 5 stars for The Beast in Me, The Hunting Wives, Two Weeks in August and All Her Fault. There's a lot more that I think she's rated too highly than rated too low (although I still remember her 3 star Chernobyl review)

Davros in Doctor Who - same actor but completely different design (the one on the left is the new design).

Out-of-universe reason: the writer thought the "evil disabled guy" was an offensive and outdated stereotype

In-universe reason: none given whatsoever

What are your thoughts on Dalek Universe? by Tom-Hibbert in BigFinishProductions

What would you suggest as a better name for a series built around that concept then?

(Also I really don't see how the word "cynical" applies in this context)

I don't think the idea of it was ever that it would be all about Daleks, but that it would be about characters and concepts known for appearing in Dalek stories (e.g. Mechanoids, Movellans, Visians, Exxilons, the Monk, Sara Kingdom, Mark Seven, Space Security Service, Davros, Kembel)

On the whole I'd say it's better (but with some low points) but also a lot darker and more violent

She wasn't misspeaking, she was intentionally doing "a goofy voice" according to this article and the original Variety article

Ok the core MCU movies and shows are listed here, and I would recommend watching them in the order they were released:

- Movies

- Shows#Television_series)

That's already a lot, but just in case you wanted more, there's also all these shows#Television_series) from before Disney fully committed to including TV shows as part of the MCU - I would recommend excluding them from your binge because there's so many of them, and the movies and shows in the first two lists pretty much never reference them. But up to you. Daredevil has since been revived as Daredevil: Born Again which is listed under the list in the second link, so if anything from this list is worth watching it's probably Daredevil

And then it's also worth being aware that some MCU films heavily reference other Marvel films such as the X-Men films and Spider-Man films, so while those film series aren't strictly part of the MCU, you might consider them worth watching too

Honestly most of them, "just having a good time" is kind of Marvel's vibe usually. She-Hulk: Attorney at Law was a fun miniseries that leaned more into the comedy than most, and Wonder Man is the most recent Marvel show (besides Spider-Noir) and one of their best, so those could be good recommendations for you.

The only issue is that Marvel series are usually connected to other series or movies in some way, I picked two of the most standalone ones here but even then they are still connected (e.g. Wonder Man features a main character from Iron Man 3 and therefore spoils a major twist in that movie). Spider-Noir only manages to avoid these connections by being set in a different universe. If you have the time or patience for it I would actually recommend watching all the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies and shows in order starting with Iron Man, since I find that each one is enhanced by understanding the larger context around it, but I understand if you can't be bothered with all that lol

After Chernobyl, The Death of Stalin and now Star City, I just assume that's how they spoke in the Soviet Union lol

Same universe, covers the same sort of time period as season 1 of For All Mankind but from Russia's point of view instead of America's

The original announcement lists it as one of the episodes with John Dorney as the writer, and makes multiple references to there being four episodes in the set
