I like Sleep No More too! And even if the Zygon ones are not my favourite their WAY better than UTL/BTF
like i’m not seriously trying to be a dick here but idk how to watch the Zygon Fuck You without feeling like it’s trying way too hard (and failing) at being a Super Action Globetrotting Thriller premised entirely on ‘refugees are shifty spooky monsters who will trick you into thinking they’re people like you’ and then i’m like ‘maybe that wasn’t the intended metaphor’ and then i’m like ‘wait holdup why is the Other only represented by a half-human like what is this trying to say’ and then the Dr does their weirdly paternalistic White Savior ‘only idiots fight back against oppression’ speech and then i’m like, but they are literally monsters who kill people, and THEN i’m like why in the fuck you write a story where literal monsters are the immigrants seeking asylum and why they gotta stay Other and why unleash this #AllLivesMatter shit upon us
and then my brain just short-circuits out like
also it’s just a clusterfuck of an episode. Under the Before is wonky and imperfect but at least i can follow it and it doesn’t make me feel like a bad person for enjoying what enjoyable parts it has.
anyway plus 1 to the “Sleep No More” fan club

are you familiar with leverage?
Oooh, I watched it years ago when it was still airing. The whole thing, I guess. But that would be so, so nice to re-watch.

community!! and doctor who ofc
florencedrunk replied to your post “Are there any tv shows you watch that just make you feel warm and...”
Parks & Recreation!
I’ve watched some episodes of both before, I think. Parks&Rec even from the beginning. Is there like a point that’s well known (or just in your personal opinion) for those show to kind of click? Fan favourite episodes?
onaperduamedee replied to your post “Are there any tv shows you watch that just make you feel warm and...”
Leverage, Atelier, The Avengers (1961-69) And Doctor Who.
Doctor Who I’m obviously familiar with and Leverage, see above, but I might just check out the others....

Weeeeeh, I’m not alone! *highfives* *clears throat* no, uhm, I meant - *grave voice* you share my pain @florencedrunk *salutes*
@shirokou I’m almost there! 8D I think. I mean, other than just realising I might've accidentally created a subplot (that’s gonna stay unexplained for my own sanity xD ) I’m literally at the epilogue! Go me!! *cheers*

Oh, sure, I get that. I guess I just love the tragic nature of the whole thing. I mean, maybe it’s because I never really wanted (or expected) Missy to turn good, or as good as the Doctor, if that’s our standard. And I like to think that the Doctor did know about what Missy was about to do. So , in a way, they did stand together. Maybe not side by side, but at least as allies.
Oh, definitely. It was a fantastic storyline and I think it was done as well, or very nearly as well, as it could have been with the various limitations taken into account.
It was all beautiful and tragic and possibly doomed from the start, in a wonderful sort of way. And man, did Michelle just nail every scene.

I'm afraid it's destiel gay
Oh well, I pretty much figured that already. The fan art looked too dirty for it to be canon

welcome-to-my-mind-shed a réagi à votre billet “the problem with series 10, for me, is that it never ultimately...”
I really loved series 10, right up there with series 9 in my opinion. I hate it when I don't like something and I wish I would. I'm sorry you didn't like series 10 very much. All I can say is I hope series 11 is all that you wish it to be. :)
Thank you! I’m glad you loved series 10! I didn’t dislike it at all, it was just a bit sort of...same old same old. I’d have just loved something self-contained but meaty and emotionally complex, which is something I think every other series has given us! I’m pumpppeeed for series 11! It’s probably a year away and yet...I want everything now. New companion reveal/Thirteen’s costume reveal/filming photos. It’s all coming and I’m beyond excited!!
steamedbunns a réagi à votre billet “the problem with series 10, for me, is that it never ultimately...”
i find that s10 is my favourite capaldi season, probably because i had more of an open mind when watching it than I did with his earlier ones. but yeah, I don't think I'd actively go back and rewatch episodes. I wouldn't buy the dvd set like I did for most of elevens episodes. they were fun but not particularly gripping.
Yeah that’s kinda the way I see it too. It was fun, I had a good time, but nothing substantially gripping, (World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls notwithstanding!). For me, my fav Capaldi series is s9. Regardless of what you think of the stories themselves, (I think the Zygon two-parter is well-intentioned, but messy at best, insulting at worst...), series 9 did something super interesting and different with it’s structure, and took a lot more risks with it’s storytelling throughout, even Sleep No More had a good high-concept Black Mirror-esque premise, while, naturally, Heaven Sent was a huge risk worth taking, and the ‘forgettable��� The Woman Who Lived is at least emotionally driven and stylistically unique thanks to its lyrical dialogue ... plus like. I’m a sucker for that Twelve/Clara dymanic. Plus that glorious finale. Plus that Twelve development. It’s just wonderful to me!
lullapiee a réagi à votre billet “the problem with series 10, for me, is that it never ultimately...”
I understand you here. I was a bit 'meh' with some of the episodes this season and had no wish to re-watch them- namely the Empress of Mars and Knock-Knock. I'm not sure why this is but I just didn't find them that gripping and so the element of re-watching them isn't there. However, I am warming to the season by forcing myself to re-watch from the start. I'm hoping this time around I might get a better feel for the episodes and might enjoy them more.
I’ll certainly do that too at some point! I mean you’re talking to the person who agressively hated the Moffat era until they did a rewatch post The Time of the Doctor and then, well, everything changed! I absolutely find that when removed from the in-the-run-up hype and the week-to-week...waiting...things feel so much better so fingers crossed I find something super memorable in it too!
gallifreyland a réagi à votre billet “the problem with series 10, for me, is that it never ultimately...”
I feel exactly this way too! It was fun while I watched it and I loved the finale, but the middle episodes just feel kind of average to me in retrospect. I think it might be because this series was a bit lighter on the 'powerful emotions' stuff – all the eps you mention above have a powerful emotional element, whether it's fear or love or the sadness of saying goodbye. S10 it seems saved it all up for the finale (which was great!) but it sort of suffered around the middle imo.
Yes exactly! The emotional element was missing. I think a lot of that has to do with the side characters tbqh? Heather/Penny/Erica/Hazran are the only side-protagonists I remember, (All four of whom are Moffat written so like..no surprises there!), And from them like...Heather and Hazran were from the opener/finale and...Penny and Erica are just dropped for no explicable reason like you would think given the story is a 3-parter that they’d have both played a role in The Lie of the Land but...nope! Toby Whithouse just...drops the ball so hard from literally every angle that even the story-specific side characters just flat-out...dissapear! Maybe I’d add the LGBT+ teen Romans from The Eaters of Light to the mix, but I’d have to watch it again. Without memorable, consistent side-characters with episode arcs then where are our emotional hooks? It can’t come from Bill and Twelve every time! Where is our Nancy or Elton Pope or Joan Redfern or Jenny or Liz 10 or Rita or Merry Gejelh or Ada Gillyflower or Kate Stewart or Ashildr? I feel like we really didn’t...get one...this series...which is probably a massive reason why it’s so eh in my mind!
florencedrunk a réagi à votre billet “the problem with series 10, for me, is that it never ultimately...”
Ultimately, I think the problem is that they trusted the Monks Trilogy to be that, but because of The Lie of the Land the previous two episodes (which are rather good episodes, in my opinion) deflated like one of Oswin's soufflés.
Agree 1000% - Extremis is wonderful, and Pyramid is at the very least conceputally interesting with some great set up for potentially iconic villains. yet. it’s totally. utterly. wasted. in The Lie of the Land, which is effectively one of the worst episodes of Doctor Who ever, in my book. So much potential squandered. So many plot points just? leading nowhere, (is it ever explained why the Monks can cure The Doctor’s sight? Or where they come from? Or...anything about them beyond ‘ooh here they are for a 10 second montage of them doing vague...electrical...stuff’, they literally do nothing in their big climactic episode 3 finale. It’s laughable). so much...character assassination...(Why is Bill so trigger-happy this episode? Not just in shooting her teacher/mentor/best friend 4 times but in??? wanting to beat up Nardole? Like?? Where the fuck did that come from?? You could try and argue 6 months of opressive despotism but when the entire point of the episode is about how Bill manages to hang on to her good-old-happy-go-lucky self despite all that it just makes no sense! What part of wanting to “beat the shit out" of Nardole is in any way in character for Bill Potts? And then there’s...The Doctor...merrily standing by while the human population is tortured and exterminated by invaders under an opressive reigime, and merrily partaking in said murderous opressive reigime before...calling the human race “annoying” for??? forgetting everything that happened? and running off to NASA totally guiltless of the months of mass torture he was complicit in.) Not even Missy can salvage it, thanks to some horrendously unconfident, patronising, writing. “You’re so Caliente! That’s Spanish for hot!” yeah thanks for explaining the joke that was totally neccessary! (that said the “pretty shapes in the smoke/your version of good” speech is A* A* so...) But yeah no overall that episode is just a hot mess...

The good place 😊
thank you!! :)
my all-time ultimate fave character:
i think i’m going to have to go with eleanor! she’s come so far, and deep down she’s such a wonderful person, plus she’s so cute and hilarious :)
a character I didn’t used to like but now do:
maybe tahani?? i thought she was kind of stuck up to begin with but after seeing more of her & learning about her life on earth she’s really grown on me
a character I used to like but now don’t:
don’t think there’s anyone really? i mean there was michael for a while but i’ve grown to love him again this series!
a character I’m indifferent about:
i’d say jason - i’m just not too bothered about him either way
a character who deserved better:
tahani, during her life on earth - she deserved more respect from her family
a ship I’ve never been able to get into:
jason and janet
a ship I’ve never been able to get over:
eleanor and chidi obviously? as in like i still love them so much, not over them at. all.
a cute, low-key ship:
does eleanor and tahani count?? as much as i love eleanor and chidi my gay heart still wants them to be together
an unpopular ship but I still enjoyed it:
not sure about this one? not sure if there are any that apply!
a ship that was totally wrong and never should have happened:
none of them?
my favourite storyline/moment:
i feel like it has to be the reveal at the end of season 1… like i’ve never been more thrown by a twist in a show, i did not see it coming At All!
a storyline that never should have been written:
nothing really springs to mind for me? although the trolley problem episode was a bit unnecessarily bloody i thought
my first thoughts on the show:
i was a bit unsure about it at first, ngl - like the end of ep 1 with the chaos sequence i was like ‘what the hell’ but as i got more into the 1st series it really grew on me!
my thoughts now:
i really love it now, i’ve grown so attached to all the characters and i just love how they’re constantly taking it to new places that aren’t predictable, and there’s just no other show like it!

I think they announced him in August 2013
That seems about right. I did see someone suggesting they could announce at SDCC, if they don’t want to do a big reveal special like they did for Capaldi.

florencedrunk replied to your post “I hope thirteen's post regeneration scene is long. I need a minute...”
You'd be worried with Moffat. The man who has already written TWO characters who changed gender after regenerating. wow.
I was wondering whether I should contest the anon on that and then decided not to. (Technically, the number is three - the parody version needing 0.2 seconds to result in a boob-srelated joke.) But, really, what is it my business what people worry about.
Moffat has remained pretty tasteful regarding the physical aspects of those regeneration, notwithstanding some comments by the Simm!Master, but he’s also into gender essentialism (see also “ The only time I've been a man, that last body. Dear Lord, how do you cope with all that ego?”) and the possible results might not be to everyone’s taste.
Cibnall hasn’t done anything particularly notable on Doctor Who that might give us an idea what he’ll done and that means everyone can project what they’d like to see happen on him for now.

florencedrunk replied to your post “I can’t believe none of y’all have guessed either of my “actually well...”
One of them has to be Missy, right?
Actually, no. Don’t get me wrong, I love Missy’s redemption arc. But I wouldn’t exactly call it complete.
For me, in a redemption arc, you need to see all of it. Every single crucial moment has to be there, and you need to get the payoff at the end. We didn’t see Missy’s early days in the Vault. We barely got a glimpse into the huge amount of time she spent being lectured and reflecting on her ways.
And although we did see that she changed - we never quite got the proper payoff of her actually standing with the Doctor for once. (Don’t get me wrong, I love the scene with the two Masters killing each other, it’s incredible, but it does deny us of what the redemption arc had promised all along, and I’ll always be disappointed by that.)
Missy’s redemption arc is great. But it’s flawed and we straight up just didn’t see enough of it. She’s a truly horrific person who has done horrific things, we need more than just a handful of scenes across a season to make a redemption arc for her properly ring true.
But I also know that it probably couldn’t have been done without making the series suffer too much as a whole for being too centered on her, so it’s tricky. It’s limited by its own format, which is a shame.
