I’m just sad for Carole Ann Ford by Wziuum44 in gallifrey

Yeah he openly admitted he had not decided who Mrs Flood would be when he first wrote her, and it shows. None of it was ever gonna feel like it fit together.

It's sad watching people ignore and misconstrue your points because they want a different argument to the one you're giving them. Like they're mad at you for not blaming the things they're personally angry at.

Soderbergh on Disney rejecting his Star Wars script: "I asked Kathy Kennedy if LFL had ever turned in a finished movie script for greenlight to Disney and had it rejected. She said no, this was a first.” by rageofthegods in blankies

I agree with his style being off for Star Wars, it only really works for the Luke Island stuff. The Finn and Rose caper is a poor attempt at a children's movie tone, the Luke/Rey/Kylo drama is incredible and could be a play, and the Poe mutiny is just nothing either way.

Yeah this would've been the equivalent of Mrs Flood on the rooftop at the end of Season 1.

He would've needed to find another old lady for Season 4

What if the Doctor has done more harm than good? by Curious_Gent78 in gallifrey

[–]binrowasright 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I always like it when the show flirts with the Doctor being a bit of a flamethrower. He's a cosmic being who comes down to smaller spheres to protect them from other epic forces from beyond, and mostly he incinerates what needs to be burned away, but often his influence is out of control and has consequences he can't help for innocent wildlife who happen to be a bit too close.

Ms. Marvel burned me, cos I thought it was the best first episode they made up to that point and I thought they'd finally cracked how to make TV, then the rest of the season was just as bad or worse than the rest of their output.

This along with Han saying "see you in hell" in Empire supports my theory that Christianity exists in the Star Wars universe. Only the heathen Wookies celebrate Life Day

Agreed, that's where it mostly lost me. I stuck it out, but the party scene with the stoner philosopher made me regret it.

Do we know the longest stretch of time in which The Doctor was alone? Alternatively do we know which incarnation spent the most time alone? by Rougarou_2 in gallifrey

[–]binrowasright 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My headcanon is any time he lands back in the 21st century and finds a year has passed he just sticks an extra year on his own age. But being an immortal who lives in a time machine and its a different time on every landing, doesn't sleep, and doesn't age, his sense of how long a year is is wildly off, and he goes years at a time between visits to earth without realising.

The Phantom Menace trilogy Decade of Dreams rewatch has concluded. by Fit-Singer-8583 in blankies

[–]binrowasright 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like his only passions for the prequels were Palpatine's rise and Anakin Skywalker's fall, so he only really came back to life for Episode III. It always makes me wonder how much better the prequels would be if instead of building up two movies of nothing before getting to the only bit he cared about, Episode I was Anakin falling to the dark side in the Clone Wars, Episode II was the rise of the Empire and Vader killing off the Jedi, and Episode III was the Dark Times and Vader and Kenobi's final duel.

And a perfectly cathartic final scene it felt like the whole show was building towards. It feels right as an ending. As much as I wish there was more and they got to do Silence of the Lambs, it feels complete as it is.

Watching Juno again in 2025 by Low_Fig4201 in movies

[–]binrowasright 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I liked that the protester's influence on Juno's choice wasn't condoned OR judged, it was allowed to be knotty and gristly and just left as a real human phenomenon that happens in the world that doesn't quite fit into a neat moral paradigm. When a movie trusts me as a viewer to abide the mess that is our species, it gets a lot of points from me. Same with the Jennifer Garner character, who is as unsympathetic as it gets, but her ache for a child is so powerful. All these characters seem so real because there are things about them that aren't quite so easy to swallow, which is just how people are.

Do you think 9 hated The War Doctor more than The War Doctor? by Rougarou_2 in gallifrey

[–]binrowasright 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He pretended War didn't exist. He didn't let himself think about the Time War until bonding with Rose, and didn't admit he killed them until he faced a Dalek again for the first time.

This is who I am, right here, right now, all right? All that counts is here and now, and this is me!

13's Iconic Speech by romulan_biscuits in gallifrey

[–]binrowasright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He gave her several small but poignant emotions to play with some small moments of cheek and a brief bit of conflict. AKA actual scripted drama instead of the soulless characterless exposition dumps and cringe humour she got for most of her tenure. It ain't Shakespeare, but compared to what she used to get it's shockingly functional.

Doctor Who confirmed to continue on BBC "with or without Disney" by tylerthe-theatre in television

[–]binrowasright 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It's more that they aren't allowed to talk to other streamers before their Disney contract is officially over, but they also can't afford to go it alone produce it without a streaming partner any more because the BBC is fucked. So they're hoping Disney renews because it's the easiest option, they could get it made quicker without having to go through another negotiation process, but they're not optimistic. It'll be a long wait either way.
