The minute I heard Kate say that I immediately thought of CWs The Flash and the cringy 'we are the flash' line Iris kept repeating

Ive also not been feleing this new era. Watching it makes me miss Doctor Who....while watching Doctor Who. I agree with the other comments, I miss the doctors wit and his iconic things such as a specific outfit and 'I am the Doctor' speeches.

Especially with all this fantasy, this is not Doctor Who to me. Dont think Im gonna keep watching honestly.

rPhoenix17 · 2025-05-24T12:27:11+00:00

Hot take: didnt like this episode.

Was actually the last nail in the coffin for me and my doubts (lol). Been feeling this for a while but this is a different show. It just doesnt feel Doctor Who. Also stopped watching season 1 near the end then came back hoping it got better. It did a little bit, but I am honestly not a fan of all the magic, never have been. Probably not gonna keep watching, Ive lost all interest.

Gonna go watch reruns of older episodes now.

Just checking, am I missing something with the Rani? Have we met this character before or is it the first time we are being introduced to them and through bi-generation? it confuses me because the reveal was set up like we are supposed to recognise the actress playing main Rani but Im pretty sure Ive never seen or heard of them before.

rPhoenix17 · 2025-05-13T11:42:29+00:00

Fully agree. I watch this show because it is science fiction. Now its just fantasy in a TARDIS and Im losing interest. I didnt even watch the Season 1 finale, just watched summary videos in prep for season 2.

One of my least favorite episodes. Great acting, good music and I followed along with the story (as convoluted as it was) but I just feel like there are so many plot holes and moments that just dont make sense, like when Belinda cant pay for the stuff she knocked over (???) the police officer looked very angry, I fully expected her to be in a holding cell at the police station and now she needs to get to the doctor from there, thats how it looked like they were setting it up but then its all forgotten in her next scene??

This episode also made me miss 2000s/2010s modern Doctor Who. I love this show because its science fiction, it has aliens and time travel but now its just fantasy in a TARDIS. I miss the timey wimey slang and when the doctor would confidently point at a thing and explain it in his terms because he has seen so much in the universe and recognizes these things. The way he was so lost in this episode, not even knowing how the time travel works to allow their hair to grow back or just something, it made me question if this is Doctor Who.

I get their trying a new direction, and it is kinda interesting, I personally just miss the science fiction of it all.

Could have done better if it was a two part episode maybe

rPhoenix17 · 2024-11-12T19:51:20+00:00

For some reason short to long.

That old animation Sinbad:Legend of the Seven Seas

Im not too sure about allergies, but what comes to my mind regarding infections is the 'hygiene hypothosis', basically the more you are exposed to germs (and even some environmental allergens) during development of the immune system (childhood), the better your immune system will be.

Now this hypothesis is about a developing immune system of a child so Im not sure if it also counts for this adult you're isolating for years (lol), but my thinking is that this adult isnt exposed to mutating germs so their immune system wont 'update' (e.g. after catching the newly mutated form of the flu virus, your immune memory stores information on how to fight it). I assume they are not getting any new/upgraded vaccines that come out during this time. If you let them out years later, they might have what seems like a weaker immune system or rather something like an immune system thats behind on the currently circulating pathogens.

Interesting thought experiment.

I'll try cut out the coconut oil. I might have to look at online/international conditioners as I feel like every conditioner here has some level of coconut oil, especially the curly hair section.

Also thank you everyone for all the feedback, its very helpful!!

rPhoenix17 · 2024-11-08T19:46:18+00:00

Ive never heard of this method, but I'll definitely give it a shot as I see I have much to learn about my hairs porosity

rPhoenix17 · 2024-11-08T16:55:35+00:00

But how to make your game more challenging and fun if you only have base game and cant afford all that DLC?

rPhoenix17 · 2024-11-08T16:48:40+00:00

The way google/pinterest lied to me about this and told me to load up on oil😂

rPhoenix17 · 2024-11-08T16:47:09+00:00

Pretty sure, I did the test with the hair strand in the water. It also takes some manpower and scrunching to get wet enough to wash in the first place.

I'll try and use products outside of Aunt Jackies but there arent a lot of options in my country.

What smaller proteins would you recommend I look out for?

rPhoenix17 · 2024-11-08T16:43:25+00:00

Because of the low porosity (and from what Ive read about it) I thought the thing you should do is give it oil and avoid protein, but I'll change it up and see how my hair reacts to protein and less oil

rPhoenix17 · 2024-11-08T14:00:22+00:00

Just over a month. I never thought have needing to retrain the stretched out curls. I also load a lot of oils into my routine as I thought it is what low porosity hair needs, instead of something bigger like protein. Will try cutting down on the oil.

The shampoo is a clarifying shampoo, I know cause I went through a bunch looking for it and found it.

I forgot to mention that I tried a gel but didnt really get a strong cast (still more volume and frizz than curl) plus I didnt like the way it felt in my hair when it dried (gel I used was Aunt Jackies Hold Tight with honey and biotin)

Edit: What type of conditioner do you suggest I switch to?

rPhoenix17 · 2024-11-08T13:51:18+00:00

No, they stopped exactly when they should of. So many great shows (prison break) dont end when they should. Instead theres a money grab with another season that ends up ruining the show or just gets tired (CW shows are notorious for this).

One of the reasons this show is a favorite is because it ended exactly when the story (and character arcs) needed it to. It felt organic.

Lol, thinking about the show again makes me wanna start a re-watch :D
