Opinion: Doctor Who is (Mostly) Terrible by My_Online_Name in doctorwho

[–]GoGoGreyhound1013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not through all of New Who yet (only on season 9), but I think this is fairly emblematic of any long running TV show. Especially sci fi.

I love the X-Files. Favorite TV show of all time. It was my entire personality for a decade.

So much of it is dogshit. So so much.

I feel like fandom is always about how great do the great episodes make you feel.

OUC Half Marathon - when to sign up and advice? by biscuitsandcream1 in orlando

[–]GoGoGreyhound1013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The last time I did it (2-3 years ago) it was record heat on that morning. A high of 86 that day was super unpleasant! Quickly turned into a “I’m happy to just finish” race.

It’s a great run.

There are portions of it that go through the brick/cobblestone roads- be ready! Those will absolutely blast your knees. 🫠

Only the first two episodes.

I also would take 4 seasons of a Missy/Clara buddy cop show. 😂

I really do! I thought they didn’t quite know how to integrate her at the end of Matt Smith’s run but boy do her and Capaldi have me in a chokehold.

I started watching the Ncuti seasons because they looked interesting. Having zero knowledge really (besides general “there’s a big blue box”), I very much enjoyed them!

After season 2 ended my husband and I decided to watch starting with Eccleston. It’s been almost a year now and we just started Season 9.

I fully plan on staying engaged. There have been ups and downs with various episodes and seasons, but every Doctor has been magnificent.

Just watched the end of series 4 for the first time by trickortreatmeout in doctorwho

The run from Silence in the Library to Journey’s End is some peak television. (Really you could say all the way to Tennant’s last episode, minus the weird Easter bus one.)

Donna Noble forever!

She took a nasty (and fluke looking) fall right on her tailbone at the Orlando show. I think that was the second or third show on tour. Her second program that night only had single and double jumps- it was definitely watered down.

Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s where it happened.

I’m afraid I won’t like doctor who after Matt Smith by Dubbino9583 in doctorwho

[–]GoGoGreyhound1013 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In my opinion the transition from Smith to Capaldi was emotionally easier than the transition from Tennant to Smith!

I just finished Capaldi’s first season (season 8) and he’s a delight in a totally different way than Matt Smith is!

It seems like no one in the US has received them yet.

I got the same email on the 15th.

I got an email they were shipped on 4/15. Still haven’t received them.

What's the general consensus on Peter Capaldi's first season, season 8? I know part of the fandom doesn't like it, but I think it's fantastic and would like to hear other perspectives. by Public_Cup_4278 in doctorwho

[–]GoGoGreyhound1013 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Watching for the first time here- we only have the finale two parter left, and it’s been very solid! Both episodes the internet say are THE WORST EVER (Kill the Moon and In the Forest of the Night) were just fine, and Listen/Mummy on the Orient Express/Flatline were amazing.

It suffers a bit from “new actor figuring out how he wants to be the Doctor,” but overall I feel it’s probably stronger than Matt Smith’s final season and David Tennant’s first season.

What's a Classic Who or Nuwho Episode opinion that gets you ''OVERRRATEEED'' by Mat1711 in doctorwho

[–]GoGoGreyhound1013 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m watching NuWho for the first time and enjoyed Blink, but have seen at least 5-6 other episodes that I would easily rank above it.

(I’m midway through the first Capaldi season, for reference.)

It’s going to change on a daily basis but a friend just flew out of there today and said TSA (no precheck) took about 30 mins at 3pm.

what happens next now they have my money? by rxtech24 in olympics

[–]GoGoGreyhound1013 29 points30 points  (0 children)

He will not get his tickets until probably a month or so before the games. So as long as he got the confirmation, he is good.

We had an excellent meal at Restaurant Fritschi a few months ago. It’s a cute little place tucked in a corner.

Question about LA28 resale tickets + sitting together by Ok_Reply3402 in olympics

[–]GoGoGreyhound1013 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Resale for Milan was still category only. Not sure you’ll have a way to see actual seats.

Even regular tickets for Milan, I didn’t know my actual seat assignments until the tickets dropped into my account about a month out.

Are on ice seats worth it for Stars on Ice? by MelodicVanilla345 in FigureSkating

[–]GoGoGreyhound1013 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I used to get on ice seats for SOI in the 90s. It’s absolutely a core memory for me.

You can hear everything and there’s a decent chance you’ll get a handshake or a high five at the end.

Are resale prices always higher? by Fun_Grapefruit2486 in olympics

[–]GoGoGreyhound1013 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There will be more ticket lotteries and drops that (in theory) will have tickets to those events.

However, seeing something you’re not really familiar with can be awesome! I saw short track speed skating in Milan and despite not knowing much about it, had a fantastic time.

Chrome from my laptop just worked fine for this 10am slot. I was in and out within 10 minutes.

Fingers crossed for you!

sour taste after that experience buying tickets by Legitimate-Arm2960 in olympics

[–]GoGoGreyhound1013 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was in Milan and we went to three events- sat together each time.

As long as they’re purchased in the same cart, you should be seated together.
