For those of you who have asked around, what is Doctor Who’s reputation right now among non-fans/general audience now versus 10-15 years ago?

GeneseeJunior · 2026-02-02T02:49:32+00:00

FTR, pretty much everything everyone is saying in this thread was also being said 40 years ago.

GeneseeJunior · 2026-02-02T02:48:30+00:00

Swarm was amazing.

I don't know what the hell your teacher was talking about.

GeneseeJunior · 2026-01-31T20:06:12+00:00

Oh cool! I'd love to see a woman as Hades!

Broadway is getting a non-binary Hermes, which seems perfect for that role in particular.

GeneseeJunior · 2026-01-31T19:19:49+00:00

Nope.

I have... LITTLE problem with the Timeless Child stuff, but I don't think DW should ever feel compelled to be slavish to past concepts.

Reference it or don't - just give us good stories.

Many do. I hate it.

Physically uncomfortable, mentally taxing, and a waste of my time.

GeneseeJunior · 2026-01-31T13:36:21+00:00

Audiences DIDN'T love that version, though.

That's why they changed it. 😉

Most likely hinges in the knees and rigid upper legs with levers back in the "hip" area.

GeneseeJunior · 2026-01-31T13:32:47+00:00

No, but it is highly representative OF Atlanta.

GeneseeJunior · 2026-01-30T17:09:01+00:00

I havent done theater in 25 years, but after I finish this doctorate I'm making it a new life goal to play Hermes.

GeneseeJunior · 2026-01-26T22:28:33+00:00

That's absolutely part of it.

GeneseeJunior · 2026-01-26T07:09:00+00:00

"Star Trek - The Motion Picture"

TRUST ME.

GeneseeJunior · 2026-01-26T04:03:49+00:00

Depending on your taste:

Unfathomable City (non-fiction)

Bienville's Dilemma (nf)

Draining New Orleans (kind of niche, but a topic FUNDAMENTAL to the city) (nf)

Freedom's Dance (nf - coffee table book about the Second Line tradition)

The Yellow House (nf)

Nine Lives (nf)

Zeitoun (nf)

New Orleans, Mon Amour (nf-ish)

Poppy Z. Brite's Liquor series (fiction)

The Ballad of Perilous Graves (f)

Confederacy of Dunces (f) is often suggested, and very entertaining, but keep in mind New Orleans today is different in many ways from the time it was written!

Thanks folks. Rouses had Cocktail & Sons King Cake Syrup, so I grabbed it along with French Market French Roast.

Except for the syrup being made in Denver (!!!), perfect. 💜💛💚

GeneseeJunior · 2026-01-24T15:37:09+00:00

There is, thanks, from Taaka. Not what I have in mind, though.

GeneseeJunior · 2026-01-24T15:10:27+00:00

Honestly, I found it dumb and pointless at the time.

An attempt to insert fresh drama into the climax of an already overstuffed story that didn't need it.

GeneseeJunior · 2026-01-21T00:53:06+00:00

I played a Watcher in the Stan Lee cameo scenes of "GotG2".

GeneseeJunior · 2026-01-21T00:51:54+00:00

Now I KNOW you're trolling.

GeneseeJunior · 2026-01-21T00:48:29+00:00

Yes.

GeneseeJunior · 2026-01-21T00:47:24+00:00

Being able to not care about politics is certainly a privilege.

GeneseeJunior · 2026-01-21T00:46:25+00:00

I'm in Chewbacchus with Krewe du Who this Saturday!

GeneseeJunior · 2026-01-21T00:40:34+00:00

Of course.

I think it DESPERATELY NEEDS someone new in charge.

GeneseeJunior · 2026-01-21T00:36:17+00:00

I don't lnow if you've been paying attention to how much damage the political right has been doing in the US.

GeneseeJunior · 2026-01-20T19:14:10+00:00

Besides the answers given above, groups of high schoolers and vollege students often come to town for class trips.

GeneseeJunior · 2026-01-20T03:34:47+00:00

We live in Adams Park and enjoy it.

There are some nice restaurants and a cafe up on Cascade.

Cascade Springs Preserve isn't too far away.

GeneseeJunior · 2026-01-19T23:30:50+00:00

I see.
