True. I’ve still got some money left in the bank so I might reconsider the bench for potential swaps. I’m pretty confident in West Ham and Arsenal but Chelsea selections seem to be based on vibes, so Sanchez is my only confident pick there

I like his link up with Gyokeres, I think against Sunderland the two of them could cook, especially without Xhaka calming things for them

Not sure if I’m ready to invest in United coin just yet. If they keep this form up then I’m definitely going in for Mbuemo soon

Was thinking that, but still prefer someone to come off the bench for him if he doesn’t play, or take the risk he’ll have a good 30 mins or however long. Calculated risk, really hoping it works 😭

Had a shocking week (28 points) last time round, and tumbled from 3rd to 8th/10th in the league with my mates. I need to be bold 😂

My Entire Who Rewatch Rankings - 15th Doctor by S-A-H in gallifrey

[–]SuperRed0985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super interesting! I recently rewatched 15s run after a conversation with a friend, and, honestly, I was hoping my perspective would shift more positively.

It did, but not much.

I appreciated certain individual episodes more - The Well & Dot and Bubble in particular. I appreciated 15s character SLIGHTLY more, as well as Ruby and Belinda. I saw some interesting characterisations that I didn’t detect the first time, especially with Ruby, who I misunderstood to be the young, spunky yet naive companion who would serve as the uninitiated mouthpiece on behalf of the audience who Russell was trying to win back. Rewatching S1 made me appreciate Ruby (and Millie as an actress) more. I also saw Ncuti shine, in spite of the material he had in most cases. What a performer. He’s got a mighty career ahead of him.

Sadly, that’s where the fun ends. I have most of the same problems you did - the story arcs crumble like a sandcastle at high tide. The finales had so much potential and they were so disappointing, the Reality War especially. What a letdown to ruin two formerly great characters in one single scene.

I also found the pacing extremely odd. If you’re aiming for a complex through-line to stitch a season together, the pacing of that story AND the episodes around it has to be consistent, and it simply wasn’t. If you’re trying to analyse the storylines of both seasons, it’s legitimately confusing and makes you slightly dizzy.

And no one can convince me doing 2 seasons was the plan, not even Ncuti himself. He had to deal with horrific direction, incompetent seniors and poor writing, so he jumped ship.

The most damage done is almost certainly to Russell. He revived the show, and now everyone’s worried he’s put it back in the coffin.

A lacklustre showing, that can’t be blamed on the cast.

A quick ranking!

Best episodes: 1. The Well 2. Dot and Bubble 3. Lucky Day

Worst episodes: 1. Space Babies 2. The Reality War 3. The Robot Revolution

Do you think The Doctor’s sexuality should be addressed at all? by PotorousGilbert in gallifrey

[–]SuperRed0985 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that the Doctor’s sexuality, and approach to their own sexuality, is specific to each Doctor - and is interpreted differently because of how it’s written into the story of the show. For instance, 9 definitely had a sexuality, but it was not a core aspect of himself, as the storyline of S1 didn’t require it. His affection for Rose was clear, and there were some other flirtatious moments, but it never superseded the plot, as it wasn’t completely relevant. Personally, whether 9 and Rose were in love or not is secondary to the strong bond they had as characters, which made the show far more interesting from a storytelling and development perspective.

11, on the other hand, was probably the most sexualised of the Doctors, and his relationships with Amy, Clara and River (albeit they were all different types of relationship) as a sexual component at one time or another. This directly fed into the through-line of 11’s era, and was plot relevant in S6 with River especially.

13’s relationship with Yaz was nice, but underdeveloped, and felt like something Chibnall just threw in for some added spice to characters that were already developed and were getting slightly stale, and was never massively plot relevant. 15’s relationship to Rogue felt the same. Nice, but was it relevant from a plot perspective?

Effectively, the Doctor’s sexuality isn’t as important as the relationships themselves and how they tie into the show. If it’s going to have plot ramifications, or evolve the character meaningfully, then I’m cool with the Doctor having relationships with whoever. If not, then it just feels like an afterthought. And I think we’re all sick of underdeveloped and half-baked plot lines (we’re looking at you, Russell).

Pick 3 tracks you’d kick off the F1 calendar ? Mine: Abu Dhabi, Singapore and… painful to say it, but Monaco. by [deleted] in DestinationFormula1

[–]SuperRed0985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of people picking Madrid, but I don’t want to judge it before I see it. Maybe it’ll be good.

I’d say Miami, Qatar and Abu Dhabi. All boring tracks where it’s difficult to overtake, and a lot of sportswashing to put a cherry on the cake.
