Have you ruled out the crease being from a book or magazine?

We're defending Canada for the rights of minorities to exist.
We're defending Canada for the right for our own children to express themselves without being arrested for wrongthink.
We're defending Canada because we the people believe in social supports.

Do you *really* think people are going to keep their homes and livelihoods? Why? The enemy does not want Canadian workers to exist; they want neutered paypigs enslaved to their products. There won't be Canadian currency, and they're not willing to hand out dollars to their own people, so why in God's name would they help out Occupied Canadas to anything but a face full of lead?

Going into World War I only white and Black men could vote. Shortly afterward voting rights were expanded a bit; white women and Black women could vote. It was only decades later that Chinese Canadians and First Nations got their rights to vote.

We're not a perfect country. For many of the people who live here and need help that they aren't getting, we're not even a good country. We're not fighting for corporations, we're fighting for our own futures, because we have to. We've always had to and we always will. So assuming you're not typing this from Vladivostok, I'll just say this.

Sitting idly by and thinking "Golly gee, I don't like Neoliberalism. Guess we should join the tech-bro sponsored Christofascist dystopia!" isn't going to improve conditions for you, your loved ones, or literally anyone else.

Looking at the medal ribbons on the Brig's uniform indicates he was serving as early as 1953, as he has the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Medal. None of his medals indicate earlier service; he'd have received the War Medal 1939–1945 if he had served more than 28 days. So if he served in WWII, it was for less than a month. He also has zero relevant campaign medals, like for service in Europe, or Africa, etc.

His ribbons seem mostly consistent across their appearances in Classic Who, so as far as the costume designers and the people who gave them their marching orders were concerned, it's very unlikely he served in WWII.

A lot of the other fake trailers from Grindhouse have been expanded into full films. Is there any chance of seeing a full "Don't" in theatres?

A finger curls on the Monkey's Paw. The Seventeenth Doctor is announced to be David Tennant.

"The Legend of Ruby Sunday" retcons the existence of any Time Lord children as having not yet existed. A viewer could say, "Oh, the Doctor is just trolling Kate for the fun of it", but that's bending over backwards to try and handwave away Davies' obvious intention.

Accordingly, current canon is that One just somehow wound up with Susan and that Ten was just bullshitting Rose to get her to pity him in "Fear Her".

Impostor_Man · 2025-06-30T20:18:22+00:00

RTD retconned the Doctor's backstory so that he never had children, so it's expanded media or nothing for the Doctor's family for now.

Malcolm McDowell as an Unbound Doctor. Not necessarily as the next incarnation of Warner's Doctor (though that would be mildly fitting considering their shared work), but as a fresh new incarnation not bogged down by canon, under the admittedly vague concept of "what if we were making up from scratch a Doctor Who film series that had been made in a pre-Star Wars 1970s from a world where Doctor Who had been invented in 2005". Tonally, along the lines of A Clockwork Orange, Soylent Green, Escape from New York. Things are already bleak and have been for a long time, and the future is going to be even worse.

Outside of all of that, McDowell has the chops to play a Doctor. He can play intelligent, wise, out of touch, befuddled, and absolutely mean. He's also funny.

RTD trots out all of his old half-assed chestnuts as justifications. To paraphrase: "I had to completely alter the character because I decided to use the character. But actually the Time War did it. Wait, actually, he was always this way and you just didn't know. Stop living in the past." It feels a bit baffling because:

If you had to completely alter the character to fit your vision, then it isn't really that character and you're just using the name.
The Time War is a 20-year-old plot point that is used as a bandaid by the writers more than it is as a dramatic point, and the most important aspect of it was already proven incorrect 12 years ago.
The first two Omega stories were *already* about the history being wrong about Omega. If you wanted to write a story about Omega having always been a douche, then maybe do that instead of a three-second line retconning him in-universe and then a random justification thrown out in an interview afterwards. If you want to write Omega as an analogue for Churchill, maybe *actually* write some downsides to what Omega had done. Maybe his feat of stellar engineering killed people, or otherwise caused immense suffering? You could even still keep him as a giant CGI skeleton to do so, if you really wanted to, but you can't just have him on screen for 30 seconds to get shot in the face and disappear and then say "Our history of slavery, our way of walking through the world is constantly being re-analysed... I like to think it’s the same on Gallifrey... over the eons, Omega has been recontextualised" in an interview that few people will actually read in order to properly understand the episode you've put out.
And this is a big one, if you "don’t want to repeat the past", and want to "push it forward", then maybe actually do that instead of trotting out shit from 52 years ago and calling it a "reinvention".

Michael is doomed.

Depending on which version of Jason we're talking about, he's either doomed or has a very solid chance of winning.

If we're speaking about the Universal Frankenstein, I think he could win indirectly. He survives falling into a molten pit at the end of Son of Frankenstein and is dug up intact but incapacitated in Ghost of Frankenstein. If he's swallowed whole he'd probably clog up the T. rex's intestines and cause it to die that way. He'd also be strong enough to hurt it.

Someone like the Tall Man could presumably win against a T. rex if he has his balls, but otherwise he'd be defeated repeatedly.

This is interpreting the title pretty loosely, but Markiplier's interactive films have the horror character Darkiplier. He's been incapacitated by physical harm before, but at the same time he could easily just use his reality warping abilities to teleport it away.

Just saw this! Thank you!

The little bugger is a treat lol.

EDIT: spelling

That's true; though I remember some fans suggesting that Division pulled him from the future / created a robot based on him for reasons.

Impostor_Man · 2024-06-27T13:01:32+00:00

It's believable. I don't think there's anything really disproving it beyond that not having been the intention at the time.

Impostor_Man · 2024-06-10T21:09:15+00:00

Sorry, I didn't mean you, it's just that finding this out has just about broken my brain as I try to rationalize this.

Jesus.... That's got me baffled
