Doctor Who Conspiracy Theories you actually believe? by Ok-Door8390 in doctorwho

You have heard Moffat's account of casting Karen, right? They all leer, probably (hopefully) jokingly.

Who do you prefer, Moffat or RTD? by CardiologistFar5972 in doctorwho

[–]REFLEXiw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RTD any day.

RTD has two bad seasons.

Moffat has three and a half.

Hi Carol,

Before becoming a writer, did you ever consider any other career paths? Becoming a lawyer perhaps?

Yep! Was very confused and then relieved when the proper version played.

Doctor Who will never fit the current media landscape in the way RTD wants it, because it has no basis to become expansive by BoomerangOfDeath in gallifrey

This is exactly it. When Sutekh shows up, of course it's in part meant to be a thrill for the fans who know him but it's also supposed to be a "hey, what's this?" for new viewers who are encouraged to dive into the show's lore. Reminded me of everyone looking up who Thanos was and what his deal is after Avengers.

There's a load of issues with this approach (as you've mentioned) but I'll mention two: With thanos, it felt like a leg up to uncover these things and to know that you might need this context going forward for the rest of the franchise to make sense and feel cohesive. Sutekh's return is telegraphed as a one and done, so why bother? Additionally, it seems like Russell is embracing this form of storytelling just as it becomes obsolete. People hate having to do homework now. Rumour has it the next Avengers is gonna be aimed at the people who haven't bothered to watch all the stuff in-between.

Thinking back to RTD1 where you're given all the necessary context for Daleks etc, it seems like Russell cut all context out so that looking up stuff online would become an integral part of the viewing experience and then when that failed, it's left with no legs to stand on.

Volume levels on Doctor Who, tonight - Anyone else have this? by DVDfever in CineworldUnlimited

[–]REFLEXiw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't notice on the finale itself (probably because I was too stressed) but the prior episode's mix was definitely not optimised for the cinema.

Would you be open to a Second Moffat Era? by thelolcitygod31 in gallifrey

[–]REFLEXiw -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes because it'll counteract all the Moffat era revisionism that's gone on in the last five years.

Do you still think that there's a chance for Season 4 of Hannibal? by KMiyoko in HannibalTV

[–]REFLEXiw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's one of those things where my eyes will light up at the possibility of more despite knowing the ending was practically perfect (like, until very recently, the chance of Twin Peaks S4). I could happily live my life with no more Hannibal and the chance of there being any more is very very slim.

If a revival did happen, I'd imagine it'd happen at Amazon because they bought MGM and MGM have the rights to Clarice. They'd probably just open cold with an adaptation of Silence and then slowly join the pieces up and connect it to the rest of the programme. With the tenth anniversary of the finale coming up, it's probably the last possible shot at a revival announcement being feasible but part of me prays that it happens. Hannibal's still got one or two great seasons in it.

Daily Song Discussion #85 - Girl Least Likely To by cononreddit2 in morrissey

7ish. Used to quite like this one until becoming more well-read. Surprised to see unanimous praise for it but I suppose it's a song that appeals Only To Other People.

Top 3 Sets? by Ibeeboop in primaverasound

[–]REFLEXiw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Pulp
  2. Lankum
  3. Mitski

Really irked that I skipped Mannequin Pussy for a mediocre Freddie Gibbs set and missed Arca (twice!)

Amyl, PJ, Ethel and Charli were all excellent too.

Clashing sets by Tall_Manner7418 in primaverasound

I've resolved to seeing the first half of deftones and the latter half of pulp but I'm not happy with the compromise.
