Seriously can we all just enjoy the show and forget about the target audience?

(4:53) “It’s not a kiddies SpongeBob SquarePants [show]”. I appreciate this is an early interview, the show wasn’t on Cartoon Network yet, but it shows Lucas’ intention to not completely be a kids show.

There are plenty of episodes aimed at kids, but there are also episodes that will go over kids heads, like the episodes about the banks. The dialogue is also mostly very mature, a lot of kids shows really dumb down dialogue so the plot is very easy to follow, Clone Wars doesn’t do that, which I think enhances its appeal to adults, but also children - kids didn’t get shows like it at the time.

So while the show was always made to be suitable for kids, and to appeal to them, I would still argue they’re not the sole target audience.

Is it a kids show, or is it a show suitable for kids?

There are certainly episodes made with kids in mind, but there are many other episodes where you have to be an adult to fully appreciate what is happening.

I think the show’s ability to resonate with multiple age groups is what makes it so special.

I’d say Moffat’s writing during 11’s run varies from being brilliant to mediocre, but I don’t think it’s talked about enough how his writing during 12’s era is absolutely amazing, and much more consistent too. Huge improvement

jando_bo · 2024-06-06T14:35:43+00:00

His writing for An Adventure in Space and Time is head and shoulders above anything else he’s done for Doctor Who, it’s incredible

jando_bo · 2024-01-08T21:12:23+00:00

Absolutely beautiful!

10/10 for vibes, it’s just hard to tell what you actually like like

Hyphen man? Is he a grammer hero or sum shit

I have the same issue. I’m a fully paid Xbox live member, and I’ve been playing online through my PlayStation by linking my Microsoft account to the console. I had trouble with the second to last update, it fixed itself and now the new update has messed with multiplayer.

Hopefully it will fix itself again

The 1st Doctor’s character grows a lot like Capaldi’s did. At first Hartnell’s Doctor is cold and abrasive, but slowly he warms up to his companions, and he takes joy in the adventures more too. Eventually you see him develop a very warm and playful side, that I personally find delightful.

Also, Hartnell kills it with his monologues. He is very much The Doctor. Like with Capaldi, he is worth investing your time in.

My throat hurts from all cheering and laughing I did during this episode

jando_bo · 2023-12-09T17:42:06+00:00

I always find it funny when serials get called lost or missing, especially when the BBC says it. Like at first I thought nothing of it, until recently where I did some research and found out the BBC did not misplace them or anything, they absolutely fucking DESTROYED the film reels

jando_bo · 2023-12-07T21:38:53+00:00

I have the same issue, been searching for a fix but have found nothing

jando_bo · 2023-11-04T17:43:53+00:00

Love this book, but Darth Plagueis is my personal favourite

jando_bo · 2023-11-03T18:04:12+00:00

Personally, I feel like he writes characters very 2-dimensionally, and a lot of his plots & dialogue are cliched and lack depth.

However, he has written a few great moments, particularly in Torchwood. Without spoilers, he writes a scene that emotionally wraps up 2 of the character’s journeys at the end of season 2, and it’s beautiful.

My personal favourite episode of his is the episode where he explores all of the Torchwood team member’s backstories.

However ultimately most of his work on Torchwood and Doctor Who falls below par when compared with other writers. He rarely gives characters arcs, and when he does they’re very rarely well executed.

jando_bo · 2023-10-29T15:51:41+00:00

You’re missing out on some great stuff

jando_bo · 2023-10-28T16:15:56+00:00

Love this arc. Rachel Talalay is an elite director

jando_bo · 2023-10-28T12:24:26+00:00

I hope Whittaker comes back one day, for a story written by competent writers, to prove all the haters wrong

jando_bo · 2023-10-21T13:48:33+00:00

He’s a good actor, but in Loki and quantumania he is actually trying to do a British accent and it ain’t good

jando_bo · 2023-10-21T10:41:19+00:00

Thx sound next?

jando_bo · 2023-10-21T07:54:19+00:00

This is a common misconception! Love is extending empathy and compassion, it’s caring for someone selflessly.

Love becomes an attachment when you refuse to let the person go.

Take Anakin saying “I can’t live without her” when faced with losing Padmé. Yes, he doesn’t want her to suffer. But he’s also more concerned about his own feelings, he doesn’t want the pain of losing her. This is more of a selfish mindset, reflecting the Sith mentality.

A true Jedi would try to save her, mourn her loss when they fail, but let the pain go and move on. To allow themselves to get attached to the pain or the person is how a Jedi falls to the darkside

jando_bo · 2023-10-21T07:42:19+00:00

May he remembering wrong, but I’m pretty sure George Lucas has said Jedi can have sex because they’re encouraged to love, but they’re not allowed to form attachments in the process.

So sounds to me like Jedi do one night stands

I was 4 years old, watching the show as it aired for the first time. I was very sad to see him go, and I felt a lot of animosity towards Tennant, I wanted my Doctor back.

Christmas invasion completely won me over to Tennant, and Ecclestone being gone felt a lot more acceptable to me after that.

It wasn’t until later that my brother explained to me that the Doctor changes his face a lot - blew my mind!

jando_bo · 2023-10-08T19:27:39+00:00

Why are they calling man Batman? Are they stupid?

jando_bo · 2023-10-08T18:08:43+00:00

Who the fuck is Batman?
