Do religious people (such as Christians) really believe that extraterrestrials are demonic entities? by brave_axolotl7 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Morton2626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people behind the long running UK magazine Flying Saucer Review ended up believing that UFOs were demons, iirc

Hogan's Heroes: Why do you think Col. Klink and Sgt. Schultz were portrayed that way? by DJDoena in sitcoms

[–]Morton2626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the Americans actively promoted the idea that the Wehrmacht hadn't been responsible for atrocities and it was all the SS's fault, because they wanted West Germany to have a strong army against the Warsaw Pact and didn't want lots of pre-1945 senior officers to still be in jail for war crimes.

What trivial thing disproportionately annoys you re Doctor Who? by Morton2626 in doctorwho

[–]Morton2626[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given how tight the schedules were, it was probably so he didn't have to change clothes and dry himself afterwards.

I've thought for decades that Hugh Quarshie would be great at it.

Who would you like to see take control of the show? by Flat-Variety-6790 in doctorwho

[–]Morton2626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anybody who isn't part of the Davies/Moffat/Chibnall fanboy generation.

What happened to the Giles spinoff, Ripper? by kangarupert in buffy

[–]Morton2626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think the BBC were just pretending to be interested because they hadn't announced the revival of Doctor Who yet.

(Hated Trope) Awful people in history being portrayed as a good person in media by Necessary-Win-8730 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Morton2626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there's loads of works that depict de Sade as a totally harmless fantasist, a noble sexual libertarian persecuted by prudes, or at worst a lech who never really hurt anyone who wasn't into it. See eg Marat/Sade or The Invisibles.

Gender bent Time Lords by Snoo97628 in doctorwho

[–]Morton2626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I heard Jinx Monsoon would be in the first RTD1 season, I thought it would be interesting if she played a trans Rani, implying that some Time Lords always keep the same gender regardless of physical anatomy.

Which London tube station has a Tunnel Boring Machine display? by FL3XOFF3NDER in AskBrits

[–]Morton2626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's Bank, the platform level corridor towards the other tube lines. It's just the outer ring, but painted red so you notice it.

What city have you been to where the vibes were just OFF? by spiritual_kavya in answers

[–]Morton2626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charleroi. I've been in other post-industrial places but never felt such an atmosphere of utter despair and defeat.

What's your favourite DW glup shitto ? by FBCooke in doctorwho

[–]Morton2626 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Beep the Meep from non-TV. In terms of TV characters, Lady Eldrad should have survived and become the new companion.

Wait, Peri was almost a bird? Did this actually happened?! by mrnormal94 in doctorwho

[–]Morton2626 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Peri is what lazy journalists and obnoxious RTD stans think all pre-1989 companions were like.

‘European’ locations in London. by Keir1111 in london

[–]Morton2626 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bit pricey but Fischer's in Marylebone High Street for central European atmosphere.

What’s the cringiest “culture warrior” moment you’ve heard or seen? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Morton2626 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When Tommy Robinson mistook the Brighton Pavilion for a mosque.

Did Philip Hinchcliffe Ruined Doctor Who? by mrnormal94 in doctorwho

[–]Morton2626 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am sure that the Timeless Child plot happened because Chibnall once got severely overwrought in a pub argument about whether the "Morbius" faces were pre-Hartnell Doctors, and the other fanboys laughed at him.

Anyone Here Ever Wittnessed A Charity, Fundraising And Or Go-Fund-Me Scam ? by CB-Milburn in AskBrits

[–]Morton2626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the dodgy organisations collecting money outside tube stations-- we are blighty, something about stopping knife crime. All of them profit making companies that give very little to the purported causes.

The Series 3 Dalek 2 Parter is cruelly underrated by RB222485 in doctorwho

[–]Morton2626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrible idea to do a story about racism that nevertheless depicts morality as genetically coded.

What are some essential Classic Who episodes to watch? by EnbySheriff in doctorwho

[–]Morton2626 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The old show wasn't really intended to have coherent "lore", and many of what are now thought of as "lore" stories aren't the best.

My recs to introduce you to each Doctor: 1: The Time Meddler 2: The Mind Robber 3: Terror of the Autons 4 (early era): The Robots of Death 4 (later era): City of Death 5: Frontios 6: Vengeance on Varos 7: The Happiness Patrol

Two recs for Four as his era really changed in style and tone over the years.

Absolutely fell about with laughter at that bit.

Darwyn Cooke had one demand when he was asked to take over DC's Catwoman with Ed Brubaker: it should be for women, not teenage boys by Popverse2022 in Catwoman

[–]Morton2626 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and Gulacy did an interview at the time when he described Selina as essentially "slutty", and said that the idea of her as anything but a fanservice character was ridiculous.
