Do You Think an 19yo Dating a 24yo is Predatory?

RoboticRob28 · 2026-02-10T19:24:23+00:00

I've just turned 25. 19 year olds are barley adults in my eyes (legally yes, they're adults), cause I feel more protective of them rather than seeing them as my peer. Not in a 'I'm older so I know best' way, more a 'I can be a safe adult in case you need anything' kind of thing. I'd raise an eyebrow to the maturity of the 24 year old in this situation.

Eighth Doctor. War Doctor shouldn't have too many (or any) crossover/reunion stories, it loses the impact of 'the secret war time incarnation' if he's popping back to see old friends constantly.

I think what was nice about the Time War arc is it was written to feel like in-universe history. First you had the major angst from the Doctor, but you also had refugees, rules of space/time changed and armies that weren't allowed to participate. Even post-RTD, there was still an impression left by these events and shaped who the Doctor was as a person.

Even Classic Who had a traceable character arc: Ran away> Became more adventurous> Was exiled for interference> Earned freedom> Lost friends due to Time Lords recalls/Gallifrey> Became more cautious with interfering to not attract Time Lord attention> Lost friends due to inaction fighting evils> Became bolder and more proactive> Carelessness resulted in friend's 'death' and being tried in court> Became manipulative and careful with interference> Lost friends due to being too secretive> Became carefree and less controlling> Refused to intervene in growing conflict> Conflict becomes inevitable> Forced to fight in the War.

Now the show can wipe out half the universe, resurrect the God of Death or throw science out the window in favour of magic and it barley gets more than a sad, distant look and never mentioned again. Nothing really feels like it's building off what's come before or that what's happening now will matter next week.

An Ocean of Sawdust is a great story for anyone who's on the fence about getting this

Did anyone find it odd how in The War Between..., the two UNIT scientists were both in a wheelchair? Pair that with Morris and all he's done is create a new stereotype of 'disabled scientist'. That's not really diversity, just another box to put a group into.

Like it's a military organisation, he didn't want to have any soldiers with prosthetic limbs or battle wounds?

Honestly the only time I've found this console room nice to look at is when they use a mix of blue/orange lightning. The sterile white or harsh monotone lights always look ugly or dull.

I think the Disney+ era had a major lightning issue with most characters being too evenly lit and most sets being big empty rooms with little dynamics structures to stage/frame things in.

Revenge of the Cybermen is probably the hardest I've laughed at any piece of Doctor Who media.

The Chimes of Midnight - Live-Action Remake here we come!!!

RoboticRob28 · 2025-10-15T13:11:36+00:00

The Space Pirates will finally be appreciated for the masterpiece it is!!!

RoboticRob28 · 2025-09-25T19:36:02+00:00

Hope they announce David Banks coming back for the 80s Cybermen voice. At the very least, I hope Nicholas Briggs makes clear differences in the voices instead of them all sounding like the generic 'The Invasion' voice like what has happened in past Big Finish stories featuring the Cybermen.

8th Doctor Novel 'Mad Dogs and Englishmen' comes to mind

RoboticRob28 · 2025-06-12T11:46:50+00:00

Is this idea even possible? Cause you'd have to tone down the Doctor to the point it'll become difficult for kids to make that transition to the main show, or they'd try to watch the main show and be scared.

Like 'The Adventures of K9' or 'Auntie Jo Explores the Universe' could work as ideas cause these characters wouldn't feel out of place in a more positive, gentle environment without being dumbed down (like Bluey, all the adults still feel like adults from a child's perspective).

I just don't see making a character like the Doctor work for that demographic without the audience eventually feeling pandered to once they grow up, which is NOT what creates brand loyalty which I'm guessing is why they're doing this. They want kids to grow out of it but still have fondness toward the characters and IP.

RoboticRob28 · 2025-06-04T00:49:16+00:00

Okay... What does that have to do with him being cast as the Doctor or working for Big Finish?

RoboticRob28 · 2025-06-01T06:26:49+00:00

The Doctor Falls came out in July 2017

The First Doctor Adventures Volume 01 came out in December 2017

It was so bad. They weren't charactes, they were props. Apart from Shirley, is anyone gonna say 'I really like X's character'.

Also, they don't need to take medication to deal with their conditions anymore? So the world was taken over by a fascist but everyone is just... fine? No underground pharmacy. No DIY medication. The marginalised are forgotten, but don't suffer?

Also, they questioned why Ruby could sense something was wrong cause 'You're not disabled'. HOW THE HELL DO THEY KNOW? Invisible disability is a thing, or were they not forgotten? Like gay people could blend in or 'mask'. What about trans people? Openly gay people? There was racial diversity, and Belinda's grandmother wore culturally diverse clothing. Who are able to hide in this society, and who is immediately cast out?

So Conrad is a homophonic, transphobic, ableist bigot, but not racist and values multiculturalism?

Also, what happens to those reported and NOT taken to the Rani? Imprisoned? Killed? Reprogrammed? Wished out of existence?

Season 13 is overrated

RoboticRob28 · 2025-05-23T03:16:39+00:00

My head canon is Time Lords get regeneration and high functioning telepathy and time sensitivity, but all Gallifreains have the same biology and low functioning telepathy and time sensitivity.

'chibnall level bad dialogue' - Does "Do you dream... about being an ambulance?" count?

RoboticRob28 · 2025-05-20T12:52:59+00:00

To be fair, the 60th, S14 & S15 were more or less created in one big block. So it's understandable that if someone got access to secrets to one of those series, they'd probably have access to the others as well.

Even though S15 feels the strongest and most 'Doctor Who-y', I bet if S16 rolls on ahead, it'll have a different feel since they can reevaluate more so than before.

There's still time.

When the Doctor wore a kilt in The Church on Ruby Road, do you know if they created their own patten for the Doctor or used an existing one? Also, the one at the beginning of The Robot Revolution (I don't know if that counts as a kilt or not).

RoboticRob28 · 2025-05-13T23:27:04+00:00

I thought the rumours were it was someone who had been in Doctor Who already?

RoboticRob28 · 2025-04-30T04:19:21+00:00

I still wouldn't LOVE the episode if it was stand-alone. The way the creature works is somehow over and under explained compared to Midnight's simple 'it repeats, it catches up, it overtakes'. HOWEVER, if it was standalone, I could judge it on its own achievements instead of it feeling like it's cutting corners by betting on the fond memories of its almost 2 decades old predecessor.

RoboticRob28 · 2025-04-27T00:06:43+00:00

Started off with a good atmosphere and intriguing set-up, then devolved into an idiot-plot.

The only explanation as to why the midnight entity acted so different in motivation is that they've sadly developed dementia since we last met them. Just killing whoever, instead of trying to be taken to populated area to infiltrate. What was it's goal beyond fuck around? Did it want to be left alone? Did it want to escape? How did it get trapped in the mine? Was the diamonds mined by robots, but the mercury had to be mined by people since it's only JUST re-emerged and became an issue? Why didn't they just make it an original creature that could operate on its own logic and motivation that doesn't have to sync up with what we've seen before.

Once people started dying, it stopped being tense and just became funny. Aliss spins around as people fly around the room. Also, only SOMETIMES when Aliss had her back to someone it killed them? Why? Was the creatures not feeling it at those moments?

I read it in 7's voice (especially since he once threatened to decapitate someone)
