So because of the length of the new DW seasons, Ncuti has been doctor for I believe only 5 more episodes than Christopher Eccleston. Now I love 9 he is one of my favourite Doctors I think it’s an absolute crime he didn’t get more time and the situation around that is criminal too, but I’m gonna put that aside for a second.

A Doctor who has had 2 companions, the return of multiple major Classic Who characters, references to the MASSIVE lore changes during the previous era, as well as involvement in currently two specials has FIVE more episodes than one of the shortest incarnations of the Doctor.

Now I can’t find anything concrete that Ncuti’s run is ending after this season, only comments that he hasn’t been ‘axed’ but no dispelling of the rumours of regeneration (or show cancellation lets be real), but if he is leaving??? That feels so wrong.

The length of these seasons is appalling we don’t get enough time to develop ANYONE properly, almost every episode seems to be out competing the others, and the huge classic Who things the entire fandom is talking about have taken place over what is to be THREE episodes. Obviously they’ll likely continue into possibly further seasons but now? With Ncuti? With Varada? It’s three episodes.

Eight episodes will NEVER be enough to tell stories like these. Longer seasons allow for an episode or two that feel a little out of character because we have enough to come back around with whereas eight episodes doesn’t do that - Belinda’s immediate forgiveness and affection after seeing the Doctor torture someone is the best example so far, she literally Would Not Act Like That.

I hope this isn’t the end for Ncuti, him as the Doctor is what’s keeping me watching every week because I LOVE where he’s taking it. I just wish the plot and scripts allowed for more exploration of his version of the character and his wants and wishes (lol) and Ruby and Belinda’s character arcs (if you can even call them that).

I hope I eat my words I hope he gets more time I hope characters start to feel fully fleshed out. Mostly I hope we see the end of 8 episode seasons and go back to actual creative freedom and not a streaming set up show. I hope a lot of things.

the continued ambiguity about stan's cipher wheel symbol is something i think about often

the fez is mentioned as belonging to the royal order of the holy mackerel, but the symbol itself was never named directly, made even more notable with bill calling the rest of his family by their symbols; pine tree, shooting star, question mark, six fingers... and tbob + the website really emphasizes this difference even more

while bill doesn't call gideon by his zodiac symbol either, even gideon's is called "the tent of telepathy sign" by other characters, and robbie's referred to as his hoodie (the only ones not directly mentioned in the cipher wheel scene is ford's and stan's.... and also the llama.)

it's pretty infamous that the fez symbol's redesign happened unceremoniously mid season and was retconned to it always being the new version in flashbacks and in the cipher wheel

and while fan names i've seen have been stuff like fez, fish, clam, oyster or mac (this one i prefer the most honestly), it's never really mentioned that it also looks like the shriners symbol simplified and on its side

(at least from the tweets i've seen) it's interesting that when alex tweets out character stuff and symbolizes them via emoji, it's usually their zodiac symbol with stan being the exception, being represented by money, but also by glasses and boxing gloves for lost legends teaser

(also before anyone gets too worried, the polls mentioned here is stan voting for mcgucket for president cos he's enamoured by free death robots and ford is voting against cos he thinks it's bad for mcgucket's heart pressure)

You know...I made the mistake of watching reacts of the KPDH movie, and I was like. Where's the critical thinking and watching comprehension? Or maybe it's just me who's hallucinating. But anyway, imma rant because I don't think the point of this movie was another "let's throw away our ideologies because they're wrong" more than. Well...

First of all. I like what they did with Rumi's arc. I like how they incorpotated the songs to tell the stories the spoken/visual narrative couldn't - because songs are really effective ways to incorporate exposition and an emotional punch at the same time that may be important to the plot without overshadowing it. How It's Done was a way of showing them as cool, effective, professional, confident ladies juxtaposed against their silly normalcy of being gals who like to eat and be silly. Golden was delivering the emotional journey of Zoey and Mira's stories that the beginning scene had set up through the fan's reactions, as well as telling us both Rumi's past, her sense of home with the HUNTR/X members, yet secret shame that she felt would be dissolved through this family she'd made with the girls. Soda Pop was the Saja Boys' introduction and really well thrown into the story with the fans' reactions, the ladies' reactions, and their general vibe. And so on.

Anyway, what that was meant to say was that, they set up Rumi to be confident and feel at home with her girls - even the little flashback to Rumi wanting to tell the girls but Celine reinforcing her sense of shame about it told us how close she was to the other HUNTR/X members. How it really was the insecurities and lies she'd been thrown and nothing Zoey and Mira done that made her unwilling to spill her shame. The switch from Golden to Takedown was a good example of that, anyway - from belonging with the HUNTR/X girls to her worst, secret fears coming true. And the relief that it really wasn't them temporarily had overshadowed her own shame about her marks before their hurt and confusion brought it back.

As much as the romantic undertones between Rumi and Jinu, and the whole revelation of how demons come to be, do carry a good weight to the story, setting up the theme of things not always being what they seem...we saw the demons eat everyone on the train. Rumi didn't question everything they stood for - because the scene with her asking Celine to kill her showed that she was here to protect, not hate and destroy. What she questioned was that hatred/shame of the self that she saw in Jinu reflected in her own self and perpetuated by Gwi-ma (and Celine. They are foils, except Celine is carrying on a cycle while Gwi-ma began it). She wondered, "hey....maybe demons can be more than the nature of their destructive, soul-stealing thing"...and Jinu's betrayal shattered that ideal and reinforced that, oh....demons are actually bad an maybe it was a matter of time before she went bad. And yet Celine's refusal to kill her and simultaneous rejection of that demon part of her probably unlocked something that Zoey and Mira had unconsciously fought with their acceptance. It WAS a moment of clarity for Rumi, who right now had lost everything but was still the confident and practiced professional the movie had set her up to be.

She still had her ideals to protect and an apology for hiding from her friends to give, so she went back and found that they accepted her and related to her (and that's what we hear in the lyrics of What It Sounds Like), as well as forgiving her and vibing their own apology back (because it was also set up that despite them being taught to hate demons, they were all in it for their fans and to protect the world from having their freaking soul being stolen to the giant fire demon in the underworld. And having their hatred shattered and questioned and shaken, they still had that fire to protect....maybe not through hatred this time, but through the unity of hearts that the honmoon had always been powered by). And anyway, the girls are always quick to get back on their feet - How It's Done Showed them pummelling those demons and still delivering a banger concert, the makeup scene covering their scars was also another once tbh, and composing lyrics together showed their strong connection and dynamic, etc. The bath house scene is where they can process it all and just ugly cry about it, anyway.

So yeah. Movie's theme was less about "maybe not everyone is bad and everything we stood for is wrong" (again. Rumi isn't stupid. She saw the demons swallow up people's souls during the train scene, even after wondering about it briefly in that one scene during the Takedown BG) and more about unity and self-acceptance, as well as hope and redemption. Less about the morality of people groups and more about the self, how you do not have to be your past and how you can reclaim and redefine it instead. About replacing a protection through hatred with a protection based on unity. Jinu's sacrifice and redemption came after he had once again fallen into his old patterns of leaving people behind because he finally saw proof of someone who did not let a shame she'd only just learned the full extent of break her and send her back into a cycle of hiding.

But, man....sometimes a theme isn't about questioning millennia-held ideologies and more restructuring/rediscovering their original or true depth. The honmoon wasn't a bad idea. Protecting people from demons and gwi-ma wasn't a baseless thing. Even thinking demons were evil wasn't baseless, as Gwi-ma really did gaslight his entire hoard of people to do terrible things, pushing them deeper and deeper into a hole they'd stumbled into in a moment of weakness (and the madung probably had no way of really knowing that until Jinu). And the discovery of the last part, as well as Rumi's heritage, shook everyone...but it didn't make the foundations of good intentions and actually valid necessities crumble.

Aaaand, with that, I'm done with my long-winded and nonsensical ramble.

Is that canon!?! Was Machete just really naive/didn't really understand the implications of his relationship to Vasco? Did his mentor ever find out about them or discuss such things with him? I assume bc he didn't have parents, he kinda didn't get educated on sex or anything. Was it a big shock to realize he was "sinning"?
