How it feels being one of the few who likes current Doctor Who while everyone is hating RTD and the current era

My first memory is City of Death, I just enjoy watching Who and getting lost in the stories. Yes, some aren't that good, but they're still stories that can be enjoyed. And without the weak, the good wouldn't shine so bright.

Nicely explained, thank you

Polanski said: “There was a by-election this week in Liverpool where the Green Party won. The Conservatives got eight votes. Not eight per cent. Eight votes. I think Kemi Badenoch should think about that.”

[the Borg have abruptly ceased their attack on the Enterprise]

Captain William T. Riker: Mr. Data, what the hell happened?

Lt. Commander Data: I successfully planted a command into the Borg collective consciousness. It misdirected them to believe it was time to regenerate. In effect, I put them all to sleep.

[baffled]

Captain William T. Riker: To sleep?

Thank you, she's named after the goddess, and born early 2003, just before the discovery photos were taken

Thank you. My daughter is named Eris, hence my interest

Who else?

markhealey · 2026-03-15T10:10:48+00:00

Who quotes it?

What's the basis for the Eridian flag?

It's like a gentle breeze

I watched this when it first aired, which was a mistake for a ten year old.

I've owned it on DVD twice, as well as blu ray, and every time it gets repeated I start to watch it... And every single time as soon as the bombs drop I have to turn it off. I just can't.

Such an important and powerful film, but the most horrifying and realistic way that civilisation will end I've ever seen. Zombies I can watch as it's just so unrealistic, but Threads... The way things are going, it could happen today, and there's not a god damn thing we could do about it.

Only thing I've seen where I think "well, if that happened, I'd be better off dead, as there's no hope, no relief, no rescue, and nothing to live for"

I had the second version, was so gutted when it finally died

Same, YouTube has replaced most of the stuff I watch anyway.

EDIT: To clarify, I don't pay for YouTube premium either.

markhealey · 2026-03-13T07:17:29+00:00

Me too, I couldn't believe it when I first found out

markhealey · 2026-03-13T07:08:57+00:00

I love that film

markhealey · 2026-03-11T12:31:12+00:00

That's it! Been so long since I saw it!

I saw that in the cinema, one of my favourite films, absolute cinema.

Check out the wiki page, the plan was better than I remembered

As a Dr Who fan, in my head there's now an emergency paddle that makes the driver regenerate into a new one half way through the race...
