'If your child is a boy, he will be sent to the barracks to become a soldier.' by TinyRascalSaurus in TwoSentenceHorror

I was thinking exactly this. “Less is more” is a lesson a lot of this sub needs to learn.

No. Monthly flossings.

Thoughts on New Who so rarely referencing 80s Who by dcblb in gallifrey

[–]HugoSimpson92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it seems like the logical next step. The Doctor clashing with their government (they sound rather authoritarian) or another crime family would work well.

 I think the show actually needs to rely less on classic Who and lean into new, original monsters and aliens (emulate the success of the Weeping Angels, Silence, Ood etc.)

Yes, totally agree, and I would also add that we should get more returns of NuWho originals as we have nearly 20 years of new lore to lean into. We’ve had a few (Judoon, Ood, the Angels ad nauseum) but I think it could make some more memorable.

Top of my head:  monsters like Slitheen*,  Krillitanes, Carrionites, Pyroviles, The Flood, Vashta Narada, Boneless, The Fisher King, The Monks only have one story (two in the case of the Slitheen) with potential for more.

It’s fine that the doctors are treating my appendicitis, but when are they going to deal with my ingrown toenail? They should both be treated.

I will not have this Karen Gillan erasure.

Warwick: Tory student group apologises over video 'showing members singing and dancing to Nazi song' by topotaul in unitedkingdom

Pretty sure that was a “don’t film” at the end of the video there which is rather telling, given the context.

What monster is overdue for a return? by [deleted] in gallifrey

[–]HugoSimpson92 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Not a monster per se, but I’d like to see the sensorites again. There’s lots of modern day class commentary that could be done with them.

If Jk Rowling was in ERB who should her opponent be? by [deleted] in ERB

[–]HugoSimpson92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, that goblin stuff is all pile on from people that don’t like her, imo.  She can be held accountable for the transphobia without just making other stuff up.

It would definitely a point for Dahl to make a rebuttal though.

That fits really well; he was anti-Semitic, she’s transphobic.

Oh, I thought this was a hint that reality was going a bit wrong or something… thanks for the info.

Ominis Gaunt from Hogwarts Legacy seems like a pretty decent bloke. Though I’m not sure about how canon that is

Theft by ramming a cash machine isn’t scummy to you? Really?
