    Fandom containment is breaking. Beginning of a new trend in Ten Forward?

    Mutating from going too fast is a better origin than an immortal mysterious child from a mysterious universe that forgot all their memories of said origin.

      Maybe he thought he was creating a blank slate for others to fill in, but wound up leaving us a with Swiss cheese plot.

        Which is a shame because there was a crumb of goodness. The space cops plot with the future doctor trying her best to be retired was such a unique idea.

          Unsurprisingly, the highest rated of that run.

    Fun fact: Classic Who and Star Trek actually almost had a crossover in the 60s.

      Oh, just the usual retcon of established lore that happens every decade or so. Only this round was very poorly written despite how much I enjoyed the portrayal of The Doctor by Jodie Whittaker.

        Jody got done so dirty by the writers her entire run. 💀

          That’s been my problem with the new who, when it’s good it’s really good…but the bad is sooo frustratingly bad

          i was so excited for a female Doctor and then half a season in forgot to check out the new episode and haven’t watched since then :') the cinematography became fantastic! the plots though? i guess there was something about uhh, a dead grandfather’s watch & demons that did nothing wrong and sci-fi amazon bomb robots? and didn’t she do a very un-doctor thing and then detonated those robots without really checking if anybody was holding one somewhere? like i know the doctor is reckless sometimes even to the point of having an ego trip, but that’s just fucking stupid and out of character
