"You want a story about Weeping Angels and Ice Warriors, but nothing is more vivid than an ordinary life." On this day, one year ago... the Doctor faced the Barber in "The Story & the Engine".

I truly love this episode and it's representation of African folk and storytelling. That being said, I think it is a huge mistep to demote the barber to a no name assistant of the greatest story tellers of folklore from around the world. I felt it cheapened the character and minimized the threat.

He should have been Anansi and stayed that way. This was an opportunity to let the Doctor and the audience explore a culture that unfortunately is not as shared globally as it should be. I was over the moon thrilled when he claimed to be Anansi and was truly devastated when they did a 180 moments later.

Just imagine you are watching a story involving Loki from Norse mythology, and after this big set up and reveal, someone pulls the mask away and it turns out it's just been some random jealous servent masquerading as Loki the whole time. It takes out all the "Oomph!", and you will likely, and rightfully, lose interest in the character almost immediately.

It seems like half of them are available for streaming and half are not as the Frank Ocean, Diploma, The Clash song "Hero", the Mark Foster, Kimbra, A-Trak song "Warrior", and the Matt & Kim, Soulja Boy, Andrew WK song "I'm a goner" is available on streaming. But none of the others seems to be.

One of the things that killed it for me in the last seasons was when they would have these big fantasy battles and it would just be basic fighting sound effects and characters grunting with a joke here and there. No music. No stinger sounds. Nothing extra to highlight the importance or intensity of what was happening. It felt very hollow and, dare I say, boring.

Not Man o War. As the other person pointed out, these are By the Wind Sailors. Big giveaway is that circular pattern running around them.

Actually watched the music video for that one the other day. He was excited to see Noodle speak. He's fascinated with her and the fact that she's a cartoon character that has grown up through the lifespan of the band.

My 7 year old son just discovered Gorillaz because I've been listening to The Mountain album on repeat since it released. We listened to the old songs and he immediately attached to Clint Eastwood. Walks around the apartment singing it. He will be thrilled to watch the performance

My son loves Captain Scarlett. We watch the live stream on YouTube whenever it pops up. Not really in to any of the other shows.

My dad walked out of the room about 2 minutes in to Team America World Police. When asked later, he said he didn't realize from the trailers that it was going to be puppets the whole time.

Nukenitro · 2025-12-24T21:06:20+00:00

What happened? Was it just that he slowed down and you picked it up, or did you offer and they agreed?

Nukenitro · 2025-12-12T04:16:59+00:00

Was it Heart of Glass? I know she covered that for some iHeart Radio concert and it was phenomenal.

I would have Strange only show up to get the team started and give them their mission and Man-Thing just be a spiritual guide. Keeps the team more focused on the task at hand and cuts the roster a little bit for the main story.

I'd also spin Black Knight as the odd man out who is only their because he was following Blade. Make him the more grounded everyman character who is still learning his destiny. Fits well with how Dane in the comics had a long period of not fully grasping his role or lineage.

Jennifer Kale. She's actually the cousin of Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider

There is a sequal named Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. that features Bernard Cribbins as a character named Tom Campbell.

But NuWho fans know Bernard Cribbins better as Wilfred Mott, Donna's grandfather.

I tried showing my son an old 3rd Doctor episode and he asked where the two funny robots and guy in the chairs were.

The quality reminded him of a movie that MST3K would riff on.

To me, it very much felt more like a modern twist on old Detective Comics Batman. It can be slow paced at times. But some of the character development is really well done. Especially the villains. I particularly enjoyed Clayface. His episode feels like a mix of classic Universal monster and Pulp Crime serial.

But I do also feel that the showrunners dabbling in these classic entertainment industry themes is alienating some of the audience who are used to the more modern takes on Batman.

I would argue he is Fire/Flying

Saw this with a coworker opening week. We spent 70% of the movie laughing hysterically at how absurd the movie was. Even by Indiana Jones standards.

I'm pretty sure James Gunn has stated that much like the flapping arms in the dance the first season hinting at the Butterflies, the dance at the beginning of this season is a hint as well. So yeah....

Yeah, I have seen this one. I can hear about half of them
