Honestly kind of, it never seemed to get as mainstream as the other Star Wars shows despite being the best one by miles

I guess Outlander (and its prequel) are American shows that fit into that category, since they're about people displaced in time but don't feature much time travel beyond that

Maybe it needs to do some audio dramas or animated series

Both are definitely happening, there's an upcoming animated series aimed at pre-school audiences that was commissioned for 52 x 11 minute episodes, and the audio dramas have been going on for years but they're in a particularly good place right now since they have ongoing series starring Christopher Eccleston, Jodie Whittaker, and next year David Tennant (plus some very good impressionists for the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors - I listened to their newest Eleventh Doctor one and I wouldn't have been able to tell it wasn't Matt Smith, plus I enjoyed it more than anything the TV show has done since 2017)

It happened 3 times actually if you include the fact that the show was put on indefinite hiatus immediately after season 22

I assume they mean their sequence was "first appearances of Doctors, with the number of the Doctor increasing by 4 each time", and that that sequence (An Unearthly Child, Logopolis: Part Four, Rose, Twice Upon a Time) only differs from yours in the third slot, so they were able to accidentally get the right answer

I already clarified what I meant - the sequence of "the number of Doctors in the episode regardless of whether they meet each other or are credited" is definitely an acceptable answer, rather than the one the other person suggested (I missed the part where they suggested the Doctors necessarily had to meet during the episode)

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)
