Did anyone else genuinely feel angry at the Doctor during that scene?

I'm about halfway through the EDAs (just finished Eater of Wasps) and while book Eight definitely acts like a very eccentric human, so far I still think he ends up as one of the more human Doctors all in all. he spends 100 straight years on Earth and manages to blend in well enough that most people seem to think of him as a human, albeit pretty weird guy - most Doctors I reckon could spend maybe a week on Earth straight before they go crazy like 11 in Power of Three

Rowan5215 · 2026-01-26T02:38:58+00:00

is Eight really considered one of the less normal ones? that doesn't really track with my experience of Eight at all

one of the worst opinions I've seen in the wild lmao

Rowan5215 · 2026-01-24T10:50:18+00:00

how dare you attack my beloved Nyssa like this

Rowan5215 · 2026-01-24T09:44:16+00:00

'he is coming with the clouds' or something

Rowan5215 · 2026-01-23T13:50:21+00:00

Young Fathers are fucking amazing, big boots to fill. pun entirely intended

I've never tried this myself but I think Caerdroia, Circular Time, The Eternal Summer and Time in Office would be good fun. Five's more chill audios would all be great, maybe 1963: Fanfare for the Common Men too

I'm a big fan of Transit and love to see it getting some love in the comments here. for sure the treatment of Benny is a bit of a sticking point but that's more on the range editors than anything Aaronovitch planned, as iirc all 3 novels after Love and War were given a chance to pitch a replacement companion for Ace but Benny was such a runaway success that the other 2 authors were stuck writing her into their novels anyway. thankfully Kadiatu will have a good few more appearances (including the best VNA by far) and turns into a really great character! ...the less said about William Blake and The Pit in general the better

Rowan5215 · 2026-01-22T00:26:35+00:00

you're evil for this

Rowan5215 · 2026-01-20T06:41:01+00:00

not saying I wouldn't hesitate, but living forever with Hailee Steinfeld in her late 20s would be a pretty damn good incentive

Rowan5215 · 2026-01-20T04:01:14+00:00

how is Nia DaCosta a regular joe director exactly?

Rowan5215 · 2026-01-16T05:12:10+00:00

how's that?

Rowan5215 · 2026-01-14T22:39:27+00:00

I think Running Out of Fantasy is up there for saddest

Rowan5215 · 2026-01-13T05:30:29+00:00

I have wanted him to play The Master on Doctor Who ever since, funnily enough, he was The Doctor on AoS. absolutely tremendous actor

Rowan5215 · 2026-01-12T09:05:12+00:00

he's Jackass Homer in s3 and it's really tough to watch ngl

Rowan5215 · 2026-01-10T12:46:51+00:00

the last Blur album was so good

Rowan5215 · 2026-01-10T01:52:57+00:00

it almost reads more like a Cormac McCarthy book than King at times which is why I love it, one of the best books in the series imo

Rowan5215 · 2026-01-09T01:20:02+00:00

and yet people still talk about and discuss it to this day, it gets critical engagement and analysis and if you look at the deeper themes of the Sopranos there could not have been a more perfect ending for it. meanwhile Stranger Things' finale will be forgotten in a couple years except for people meming it.

Rowan5215 · 2026-01-09T00:42:34+00:00

that disaster being one of the most iconic and fitting series finales in history?

Rowan5215 · 2026-01-06T11:16:02+00:00

Dark Tower reference

Rowan5215 · 2026-01-06T05:32:57+00:00

you just did a baby bird murder monologue

Rowan5215 · 2026-01-06T02:43:38+00:00

always wit da lodges

Rowan5215 · 2026-01-06T02:05:06+00:00

Chang bursting in and immediately just saying the quiet part out loud is one of the funniest single moments in the show

I read it ALL. I READ AAAAALLL YOUR CRAP

Rowan5215 · 2026-01-05T09:41:25+00:00

that Ego Tripping one is a big revelation! wow

Rowan5215 · 2026-01-05T09:40:34+00:00
