Space babies is such a rent-lowering gunshot of an episode I love it dearly

[itwoodbeprefect]

going into manner of death you may think this is a show about an adult man with an adult job (performing autopsies on his childhood friends), but the further you get, the more clear it becomes that this is actually a show about an adult man with way too many adult jobs (he also treats patients in the ER, gets called in for emergency surgery, and juggles several potentially connected murder investigations as an unpaid side gig). no wonder literally every single person around him keeps randomly handing him food, even though we know he's a good cook. with only twenty-four hours in a day, it's a miracle he even finds the time to be weird and domestic with his prime murder suspect and their pet cactus

There’s something very funny about Doctor Who suggesting that tumblr will be outdated by 3, maybe 4 generations come 2049.

Watching 2000s TV shows keeps you on your toes. You'll forget it's a 2000 TV show until throws out an out-of-nowhere r slur, or a jab at queer people or racial minorities, or cringy complaining about "political correctness/PC culture" (has been replaced by the cringy complaining about "cancel culture" of today). It is amazing how precisely it dates things to the mid-2000s.

Space Babies is the only valid abortion-themed episode of Doctor Who.

Kill the Moon was just a bad dream, skip that episode during rewatches.

spoilers alert

…….. sooooo….

Am I the only one surprised that Millie… might not want a baby???

I was honestly thinking this was just another “Millie’s being weird for some reason Viv won’t write well… again…” moment, but then in the bathroom I immediately went ohhhhh ok. Baby time. It’s happening.

But then… when she’s all “I don’t know what do to??” to Sallie??? I dunno about y’all, but I thought for sure this b wanted to be a mom someday. I thought if anything it would be Moxxie having the anxiety pro-con charts about keeping one. But they always seemed like a couple who def were going to have kids?? And I don’t think they’ve ever talked about being protected…

I know it could be the whole “I’m not ready- yet!!” excuse, but I just… it seems like a ton of forced drama from a woman who cannot seem to to write women without throwing an external problem at them. Tell me I’m not alone feeling like this is all…. sum bs

ten caps per episode - Law and Order Criminal Intent - s01e11 - The Third Horseman

Eames: "From locks to lock n load." Deakins: "Next step for Mr. Griscom is lockup."

K so, Semblances are connected to Aura which is a manifestation of the soul yeah?

In Before the Dawn, the father of the villains confirms that one of twin's semblance was active in the womb throughout a good portion of the pregnancy

Meaning, in Remnant, fetuses have souls. Wonder how legal abortions are

Edit: just remembered Pyrrha had to unlock Jaune's Aura in V1, so does that mean someone cracked open a fetus's Aura inside the womb? Was Gillian strong enough as a cluster of cells to unlock it herself?? Wtf is this origin story???

Saw someone say there's no bad doctor who and I'm like LMAO cause there DEFINITELY is. Sure no one can agree on what the Ls are but they're there babey!!!

[prolibytherium]

I suppose it’s a possibility unless they ever elaborate on the situation (UNLIKELY) but I also think it’s a reach when people imagine Dennis as actively keeping up with his child and remaining present in his life because I’m 98% convinced he just deadbeat dadded it. I feel like 'raising a family from a distance' is probably code for 'paying child support'

Doctor Who's Kill the Moon🤝Voyager's Retrospect🤝yes I know the writers didn't intend for the story to be a metaphor the thing that it is obviously a metaphor for , but the thing is, it's an extremely obvious metaphor, so for better or worse (worse) it is about that and while I feel kinda bad for the writers knowing that the thing they created is reviled for totally unintended reasons, the episode does suck so so bad

[emma-d-klutz]

Ok before you get mad at mad me, this was your idea. So we took out the kid whose power was Heart, because he seemed like he did fuck all -extraneous, right?- and the villains immediately started killing civilians. Yeah, on screen. No cutaways. Mhm, they used the k-word and everything. Melted a guy in magma...

I found it really interesting how like... 14x01 gave points to both sides of the abortion debate.

On the one hand, it points out the hypocrisy of some pro-lifers who are determined that all babies be born, and then seem to stop caring what happens to the babies once they're here in the world, are perfectly fine with abandoning them to cruel fates.

On the other hand, it makes the claim that even though you might not see something as a baby, you still need to save it, you can't just abort discard it out of fear.

And I just. I actually really love that they didn't do a one-to-one allegory for the abortion thing, as they so easily could have. No one likes being lectured or moralised at. By allowing the complexity the writers made the episode so much better. It both stands on it's own as a unique story, and also prompts nuanced thought about various aspects of what is a very complex and divisive issue.
