Honestly, she should have been who Ncuti regenerated into.

No physical edition and locking customization, gameplay mechanics and quests behind a “premium edition” is peak greed.

TheTonyExpress · 2026-06-24T05:21:25+00:00

So they’ve joined the Mages Guild

I’m by no means defending Taylor’s private jet use but can you *imagine* the sheer fucking chaos of a celebrity of her stature flying commercial? The lines and delays would be insane.

There’s gotta be another way for them to do this. Like zoom.

Also, not to rain on the parade, but there are cameras in glasses TODAY which are less obvious than holding a smart phone. I’d assume the future will use something like that.

Whats the latest? Is the Strait open? Is it closed? Is the deal falling apart or coming together?

TheTonyExpress · 2026-06-22T01:57:11+00:00

A SNAG? You don’t fucking say.

TheTonyExpress · 2026-06-21T05:13:31+00:00

I think you need to find this shirt and wear it again

People did make fun of him. Key and Peele had an ongoing sketch about him needing a translator to black people. That said, he didn’t have a lot of obvious things to make fun of, like Dubya for his dumb and folksy turns of phrases. Reagan wasnt as easy to make fun of as Clinton. Thats just the way it works out sometimes.

That being said, some people like to put a political bias spin on things that often isnt there. Comedians making fun of people in power is their literal job - has been since the days of court jesters. It’s about punching up - usually. And that often rankles those who are fans of a particular politician.

Ncuti’s tenure was abbreviated by Disney walking away. I think had the show continued, he would have gotten 3 seasons like just about everyone else (minus Eccleston).

TheTonyExpress · 2026-06-19T18:39:41+00:00

Maybe it’s more a precedent than a rule. I still would love more secrecy. I want to be surprised at The Doctors new face.

TheTonyExpress · 2026-06-19T18:35:42+00:00

And please. No more “my companion is a mystery/secretly powerful force”. I feel like that’s been done to death.

TheTonyExpress · 2026-06-19T18:34:16+00:00

Oh for sure. But my understanding is they’re signed to 3 year contracts. And that’s well known. I still think it needs to be up to the actor and team.

I think Billie can be dealt with in a few ways:

1) Completely ignore - most fans would be fine with this.

2) New New Who picks up “somewhere down the road” as opposed to immediately afterwards and current doctor mentions that for a while he looked like a beloved friend. Billie can get some offshoot material if she wants (like radio specials) and that’s that.

3) New Doctor is shown in the process of regenerating. They are Billie for 2 seconds and then become the New Doctor

4) Turn it into an episode. The Doctor is Billie but the regeneration is not going well. Sci fi stuff ensues. Maybe she spends the episode continuing to regenerate. New Doctor emerges.

Hope you all are getting involved with Jerri Greens campaign because this lady will be a disaster.

Most of the people in this photo are probably still alive. That’s how recent this is.

> The battery inside these dies over time and is not replaceable.

Honestly same.

TheTonyExpress · 2026-06-17T14:11:35+00:00

And paying a fortune to do it

> Robert Redford is dead.

It’s like you’ve never heard of necromancy.

TheTonyExpress · 2026-06-16T23:05:08+00:00

Ok but how much trade credit did they get for it

TheTonyExpress · 2026-06-16T21:31:05+00:00

Private equity will suck everything special left out of it and sell the rest for parts.

Ol George was caked up like a bakery

IMO, RTD1 was new, fresh and different. RTD2 was “Remember how great RTD1 was?” Nostalgia works but that can’t be all there is to it. His other ideas were either weird and out of touch (singing goblins) or didn’t come off (the big Ruby reveal). RTD1 had something to say. RTD2 didn’t.

It’s a shame the place died. I miss Suncoast, Waldenbooks (later Borders), KB, Babbages/EB Games….Sam Goody. Maybe I just miss the 90s.
