Iād hate to be the kind of fan who stops watching because itās all gone to shit. Odd comment for a football forum I know.
I just think that lifeās too short to subject yourself to media you donāt enjoy.

Watched Liverpool under Roy, whatās the difference? Just because somebody injects all their own personal agendas into a show and employs people who perfectly match their own view of the world shouldnāt stop me from watching and criticising. Or is it the case that I should (as the main actor suggested) just go out and touch grass?
Iām not keen on having the things I love taken away from me. Stopping watching when it all goes Pete Tongue (like what I did there?) isnāt my style.
Youāll point out where Iāve used that lazy phrase. Good look there.
I did respond to an accusation about the GWGB brigade I think but that was quoting / referencing somebody else.
Fuck sakeā¦Stollen. I do have TDS

See, I gave up watching us under Woy. Because lifeās too short.
As for Dr Who, been catching up with it this weekend. My unbiased view is that the space babies were silly, didnāt enjoy the performance of the Maestro in episode 2 (whole thing felt more like a pantomime) and the third one, Boom, was pretty good.
I like Ncuti, though, and Ruby.
Iāll keep watching, but been a little bit of a mixed bag so far. The kids have enjoyed it, though.

Just watched the last one again. Never in the history of Dr Who has the lead character looked terrified. As Jnr said earlier, heās acting like a human, not a timelord.
Iām sorry but Iām going to have to break my no reply embargo for this.
āIs that fear I can feel in your mind? You are not accustomed to feeling frighted are you Doctor? You are very wise to be afraid of me.ā
Planet of the Spiders (1974)
Ntcuti is much more emotional than any Doctor before him. But the idea that the Doctor has never been terrified is nonsense.
If you are going to state absolutes about Doctor Who, get your facts right. Youāre dealing with proper nerds.

There is a world of difference between a football club and a TV show. You only sign up for unconditional support for one of those.
TV shows are there to entertain you, and Iāll never understand why people persist with long running shows that they absolutely hate, because they liked it in the past.
This series of Doctor Who has been a huge improvement on the Jodie Whitaker run. I liked Space Babies, Thought the Devilās Chord was patchy, loved Boom, thought Dot and Bubble was amazing, and Rogue was alright.
73 Yards was the big let down, because I was told it was brilliant, best story ever territory, and I thought it wasāt half as clever as it thought it was, and there were elements of it that I thought were downright irresponsible.
Very clever. I have been unable to characterize 4+ years of your tiresome complaints with a single verbatim quote of yours, therefore my paraphrasing of said complaints is invalid.
Again, you a very clever boy and totally to be taken seriously

As close to an apology as Iāll ever get from you I suppose.
Can I just highlight this word for the general public please? Thanks.
Itās standard sci fi/fantasy online discussion
Could change that to: first episode of Dr Who is directed by a gay Indian man and itās biggest villains are representative of far right groups, itās the gay woke agenda
NuWho brought back under a gay showrunner who includes pan sexual characters such as Captain Jack, River Song, and has the Dr say human approaches to sexuality and gender are severely limited. Itās the gay woke trans agenda.
DisneyWho has Gatwaās Dr mention going through therapy in his very first episode and now openly feels things instead of burying trauma behind fake personas because heās healthier now. Also he kisses a dude and a trans character exists. Oh and the dr was a woman a couple of regenerations ago, so unrealistic. Itās the gay woke trans agenda.

Why? For some reason nobody actually reads what I post. They just assume I donāt like XYZ for any vague reason they choose.
As it happens I love the first book. Film was fine. Second book is the same and the third we see coming from the first chalter of the first book. What boiled my blood was when (whatever the lead actresses name is, Katniss) said in an interview that she was playing the first ever female lead in an action movie. You fucking cineilliterate moron. Hang onā¦ā¦

When Jodie Whitaker was cast, there were lots of online grunts complaining because you donāt get female timelords (despite the fact that there were several in the 1970s and 80s), but if you go back to the very first episode, literally the first main character we see is the Doctorās granddaughter.
I saw Waris Hussain speaking at a convention a few years ago and he said that they had to be very careful at the time not to show the characters having any romantic involvement at all, even though it was implied that Ian and Barbara were a couple and the Doctor has a romantic interest in the first series for which which the producers were ticked off about.

Well, getting the younger audience onboard was absolutely worth dropping approx 8m viewers per episode.
