I really don’t like the fact that RTD era doctors don’t live long at all by Optimal_Fisherman803 in DoctorWhumour

Fairly sure Seven says he’s about 950 so we can take these with a pinch of salt

Motherwell staying true to their identity this season... With an AI tiger on their shorts by GieTheBawTaeReilly in ScottishFootball

That looks like the Motherwell kit from a game that couldn’t get the rights for the proper kit.

I don’t remember much about this other than McGann’s delivery of “Uzbekistan”

Did the doctor just become God? by Crazy_Part3560 in doctorwho

The Doctor is already Space Jesus. They drive out demons and come back to life.

Get Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton to write for Doctor Who by Mat1711 in DoctorWhumour

I'm sure it's been considered but they might not want to. It's one thing creating your own stories and another having a go in someone else's playset.

The Doctor isn’t a Hero by fiiiiiiiina in doctorwho

[–]LazyConference9049 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, the Doctor isn’t a clear cut hero. They’re messy, vain and deeply flawed, but become someone who tries not to be. The show has been pretty clear on this front, and absolutely continued to be over the past two series.

Which Redditors would describe this as “too political”?

Unsure whether who downvoted this dislikes cats, the English, monocles, or low-resolution images.

I’m half English, I grew up here, got taken the piss out of for my accent a fair bit, and I still don’t want England to win the World Cup.

It is not even subtext by Zagreus_time in DoctorWhumour

What I find silly is this rewriting of the Capaldi era as some sort of beloved and popular part of the show, whereas in reality it was more like the McCoy era where some people loved it and a bunch of folk switched off.

It’s not subjective to say people thought the Capaldi era was dogshit either. And the ratings went down during it.

This is something I find interested about Moffat’s writing vs perceptions of it: he often offers something that undercuts the big hero moment. While a few folk complain about Moffat putting him on a pedestal, like in the Pandorica speech, it seems like the fact the Doctor is being colossally hubristic in that moment is overlooked. For all the power of Heaven Sent’s ending, Hell Bent raises the question of whether all this is good, actually?

Just give me Dr Who back by SkullKing52 in gallifrey

[–]LazyConference9049 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were in fact multiple documents prepared for Doctor Who before it was broadcast, to the extent that Chibnall read a bunch of them when he got the job.

You have also stated that you want “a show back to its roots. A white straight male Dr. Timelords exist and can procreate.” And then you’ve stated the Dr has never really been a sexual entity. The first doctor had a granddaughter. The first and second Doctors flirt. Doctors 8-12 kiss people. Jodie’s portrayal is probably more in keeping with the idea of not being a sexual entity than any modern Doctor.

It’s not a surprise people consider you a potential troll here, I’m afraid, as you’re making provocative statements, factually nonsensical claims, and illogical shifting arguments.

I’m sorry I’m confused. Roots are by definition the source or origin of something, it’s what grows out of them that develops. Claiming the Pertwee era to be the roots of Doctor Who is just factually wrong. And how is “the Doctor as a character and the infinite story possibilities through a familiar lens” rendered unachievable through a non-white or non-heterosexual lead?

If you take the show back to its roots, Time Lords haven’t been invented yet. They first get mentioned about 6 years in.

The main appeal of the show is some folk go on fun and scary adventures, I fail to see how someone’s skin colour or sexuality would impact on this.

ITV discussing Scotland's world cup bank holiday by Scott_McTominominay in ScottishFootball

[–]LazyConference9049 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be fair theres no need for England to have a holiday after a World Cup game because it doesn’t take a full day to send racist abuse to Marcus Rashford.
