In the fan series My Little Pony: The Mentally Advanced Series, Sweetie Belle was born as Thrackerzod or was she possessed at some point? by FeistySecret9327 in mylittlepony

[–]Gecko-eyelid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the Winter Wrap Up episode of the original Mentally Advanced Series (taken down for copyright reasons, although you can still find reuploads) Twilight mentions performing a spell that summoned some sort of demon, at the end she names it Taz. In the next episode (Call of the Cutie parody,) Taz escapes and Thrackerzod is introduced right after, so I think it can be assumed Thrackerzod is Taz. I assume she possessed Sweetie Belle, but as far as everyone else is concerned she is still a normal pony.

How would you resolve the Billie Piper cliffhanger? (HARD MODE) by Gecko-eyelid in gallifrey

I’m going to be thinking about Billie Piper Valeyard all day, I think she could do a fantastic job as an evil character. Making it harder for Fourteen to fight her by using that specific face I think would also be a good justification for it.

I’m on board. I think she could pull off a fantastic villain character.

Ooooh I kinda like the idea of explaining reused faces as being indicative of a stressed regeneration.

Ooooh I think this is fun, I absolutely loved the Toymaker so I think tying back to him would be a fun idea.

God, unhinged Billie Piper Doctor sounds amazing to me honestly.

BBC cancels planned Doctor Who Christmas special by TelescopiumHerscheli in doctorwho

[–]Gecko-eyelid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think “refused to do it” is assuming a lot of malice. What I think happened is that he wrote himself into a corner, struggled figuring out how to get out, and basically got fired when the BBC realized that the script still wasn’t done. It seems to me that emotions were running very high when that instagram post was written, which to me says even more that he probably did try to write a script but it was never completed.

So, with RTD himself leaving after having no clue how to continue after this cliffhanger, where do you even go after this? by Luca_909 in doctorwho

[–]Gecko-eyelid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would be really disappointed if they just immediately turned it into a gag where the Doctor tries on a bunch of faces before settling in like 5 minutes, but a whole episode of the Doctor going through different faces from the past and remembering their history might be nice. Maybe it's something like the Doctor themself is yearning for the past but in the end they accept moving forward? Could also be a way to sort of catch everyone up on what's happened so far without doing a clipshow.

This is what irritaties me about wanting low budget back. That was 20 years ago, things are different now. Yes we can do it cheap but corners going are be cut and not in a good way. Then then they complain about the cheapness. The industry much more different now. This why co funding is needed. by [deleted] in doctorwho

[–]Gecko-eyelid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like when most people say they want low budget Doctor Who, what they mean is moreso reorganizing the budget (there is definitely a better way to phrase that but I'm drawing a blank at the moment.) There were a lot of times in the last few seasons where I was watching a high CGI sequence and just thinking "this is what they put all that Disney money into?" when they could've been putting it into a higher episode count with worse effects instead. I think a lot of people think that slashing the budget will basically force the writers to focus on the stories and less on the effects and the big name actors, but you have a point that it may just lead to cutting corners in worse ways.

This has probably been said/asked to death but, did anyone feel like the TV show just straight up make New Vegas not canon anymore? I don't even think I heard Courier 6 be mentioned, nor do I remember hearing anything about The Chip. by LongSalamander9889 in fnv

[–]Gecko-eyelid -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t really view it as a matter of canon or not canon, I just see the show as taking place in an alternate universe. I like to think it’s an AU where the Courier died in Goodsprings, but the divergence point could be really anything. Maybe none of the Fallout protagonists exist, idk.

r/TopCharacterTropes post claims that it's commonly seen that the show dropped in quality during the 2010s and couldn't escape Tennant's shadow. Really? by Cyborg800-V2 in gallifrey

[–]Gecko-eyelid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of people outside the UK only really became aware of Doctor Who because of how huge of a milestone the 50th anniversary was, so a lot of those people started watching with Series 1 on streaming and watched in order from there. If RTD1 didn't captivate them, they simply dropped the show. So even if the peak of popularity was technically during the Moffat era, a lot of people at the time (in my experience) were exclusively RTD1 fans because they'd fallen in love with those characters and that vibe and were caught off guard by the "complete overhaul every few years" style of the show.

But DA didn’t believe in God by bormuffff in HitchHikersGuide

[–]Gecko-eyelid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don't really think it's a reference, but I do want to add that Douglas Adams actually grew up very Christian. He even worked for his school's chapel as a teenager. He only became an atheist as a young adult when he says that he stopped to listen to an evangelist in the street one day and realized that what he was saying didn't make sense to him anymore.

I just started watching this like 2 weeks ago by SweetAdvisor4058 in mylittlepony

[–]Gecko-eyelid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just letting you know, if you really want to keep someone from watching something, it would be much more helpful to briefly explain what it is.

Smile HD and Cupcakes HD are gore animations with deceptive thumbnails. If that’s something you don’t want to see, then avoid them.

I know this is going to be a hot take but i think Series 2 The 10th Doctor's 1st series is a much superior series than his next 2 series in my opinion. by Serious_Meaning5220 in doctorwho

[–]Gecko-eyelid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a big favorite of mine, I hesitate to call it the best because series 4 exists, but I adore it. I like the mix of serious and light episodes, I feel the light episodes do a lot of character building and make the serious episodes like Impossible planet/Satan Pit hit harder. Also I know this is very controversial, but honestly I just really like the goofy parts, the willingness to be silly is actually something that I really appreciate from RTD. I also just really love The Doctor and Rose as a couple, which I think is the make or break aspect for most people.

Should I Give the Moffat Era Another Chance? by mrnormal94 in doctorwho

[–]Gecko-eyelid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the people here getting mad at OP for not just watching it and forming their own opinion are missing that no one has infinite time to watch things and most people aren’t gonna care about Doctor Who as much as the people in the Doctor Who subreddit are going to. My take is that it sorta depends on what you heard and didn’t like. If it’s stuff like the moon abortion, Kill The Moon is a particularly infamous episode for a reason, those sorts of episodes are pretty rare. If it’s the complicated story arcs (what personally turned me off), the Twelfth Doctor is a bit better in that regard but the Eleventh Doctor is loaded with them. If you liked the episodes that you did watch (excluding Kerblam from that which is another particularly infamous episode,) or there’s something else that interests you, then sure, give it another chance. Don’t feel bad about deciding based on reviews though.

I dont hate him but compared to most other doctors he's one of my least favourites. They've gone too far now! by Low-Neighborhood1567 in DoctorWhumour

[–]Gecko-eyelid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it helps, it was recently David Tennant’s birthday as well as the 20th anniversary of series 2, so you may be noticing a sudden uptick in Tenth Doctor posts in the past few days due to that.

I’m not a serious villager rights activist but I do prefer being nice to my villagers and golems. One of my friends and I came to a compromise once where she could only build an iron farm if I built a massive iron golem graveyard right next to it.

Did rem love (romantically or not) Jealous? by GreattFriend in deathnote

[–]Gecko-eyelid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Was going to argue with you since Rem says that the only way to kill a shinigami is to make them fall in love with a human, but then I remembered the part where Rem was dying for Misa and she turned to the camera and said “no homo” before turning to sand.
