that SNW clip didn't rub me the right way. This video gets into why...

That still doesn't answer why Sutekh couldn't just see her mother like all the other 7 billion humans on earth. Why her and not the other 6.9 billion people out there? It being random is just bad storytelling imo

I liked it but I'm finding the answers to a lot of the mysteries unsatisfying and I feel somewhat deflated. Why the snow? Why the song? Doesn't make sense if her parents are just humans

Let us know where you end up starting!

depending on jurisdiction they can't just arbitrarily raise rates

This goes so hard I love it

Plenty of US shows go live on streamers at midnight for one of the coasts, seems like they're just treating Doctor Who the same but for the UK?

I mean, they shouldn't be bricking each other's computers, then they can't continue to learn with them

I suspect it will be still family viewing, just a little dark for some young kids to watch solo maybe

That's literally what I thought and still kinda think even after his comments

Yeah I think a lot of Chibnals detractors are in for a rude awakening. Sure, you can say it wasn't woke for RTD1 but that's nostalgia considering he:

• parodied Tony Blair with John Simms master
• created an out and proud pansexual in Harkness
• portrayed the Doctor as ambiguous sexually, accepting advances from Jack and Lynda (?) In parting of ways
• the slitheen two-parter being commentary on the war on terror and false claims of WMDs

I think that in the time since 2010, RTDs writing experience and the general increase in right wing radicalisation since 2015 are combining to create these decisions like able bodied Davros or 14 regenerating clothes

Source?

It wouldn't be so bad if classic who was consistently paced. The black and white episodes had some real bangers that I was engaged for the fill 22 minutes, but a lot were just slogs.

In principle I do believe a good story can carry anything - visuals are secondary in a compelling plot.

VPN for now sadly. Torrent sites might have it at some point but not yet last I checked.

I started this summer, and I've made it to the Pertwee era last week.

Unless she trespassed there's nothing illegal. I don't think she shared a specific address. It IS (was?) against the YT TOS but they only care about what makes returns for Google's shareholders.

Twitter too now

Gatekeeping the Fediverse? Cringe

None of the books being banned are pornographic. Don't fucking lie to advance your cause of genocide

I wish I could say this was me but there's been a couple of times thst I've been knocked on my ass by something, but every test I've taken came up negative

I deadass probably watched a reconstruction in my classic who watch through but I didn't even remember it until i started paying attention to the 60th special rumors.

Josh Snares has some videos on it iirc

How bout your friends or Czech spaces elsewhere on the Fediverse?

Just trying to be helpful and optimistic

Precisely! I try to comment and post partly for the purpose of generating activity

I actively try to post when I see this happen.

What communities are you experiencing this with? Maybe we share some interests.

I think that they want to go for a big, epic, nostalgia-heavy trio of specials to entice people back in before Ncuti comes into the full series next year. I saw the tower and it's the single part of the trailer that's sticking with me. I always loved the first RTD era for it's somewhat grittier, critical view of UNIT in the context of the rising surveillance state of the early 2000s, so this tower seems like an extension of that viewpoint, given how entrenched said anti-terrorist dogma has gotten.

Love the Avengers Tower-style UNIT headquarters

I thought it would be for the 60th so that would mean November for some of it, and I think then it's a Christmas Special. Idk how many total are with 14 before the proper season with 15.

Because that sure didn’t seem like a ‘redeemed’ Anakin.

I thought it did. The world between worlds is tied to the cosmic force, so "force ghost" anakin could probably appear however he wanted, so sith eyes and red saber were used because thats what Ahsoka was aftaid of, and confronting fears is very Jedi - Yoda went through a similar experience fighting a manifestation of the dark side within him. Additionally, Ahsoka's fear was also impacting what we saw on screen - I don't think he was choosing to flash into Vader, I think that was Ahsoka projecting.

I think they're probably doing what they did for the Clones, have a set actor for live action and TV. Casting an additional person to play the young Rosario Dawson version prevents that from getting muddied.

"The force existing all around us" is something that comes from George Lucas himself, idk what this article is complaining about. It's a far more compelling universe if everyone exists on a spectrum of force sensitivity ranging from Sabine all the way up to Anakin. It like the idea and think it aligns with what George was trying to do with the PT era and showing how the jedi weren't ways right, didn't have a monopoly on the force, and that just because you couldn't leap from buildings and weird a Lightwave didn't mean you could open yourself to the force. It's meant to be a somewhat mystical, unknowable mechanic of the Star Wars universe.

Part of me definitely wishes we had gotten to the galaxy by episode 2 and had instead had the character-focuaed stuff be happening in a far more exciting context. It's given me the same sort of annoyance I would get when you're trying to leave town for a road trip only to keep getting delayed by needing gas, getting hungry, having to pee, etc.

I thought Hayden melded aspects of Matt Lanter's performance from TCW so well! It felt like he was both prequel Anakin and Clone Wars Anakin, delivering "snips" perfectly while also channeling his campy sith stare from Ep III.

Meanwhile casually ignoring the extradjudicial assassination of American citizens too. So much for our legal system and rights.

On isolated, super rural areas where you're the only person on a dirt road for miles, I think it might be unavoidable during parts of the year or if the road is really intensive to bike (steep, sharp curves for example) BUT that's where you should be able to drive to your village or town center and pick up the 15-30 minute regional train.

Likewise that would mean the people closer to town who might already be walking to the barber or liquor store would also be able to walk to the station if they needed to go farther.

Cowards

This is the ideal. I think a problem also comes up because I think a lot of people (DMs included) feel like "peak Dnd" is when you could in theory, go anywhere and do anything your party wants, and you just need to review few quick notes and be ready to go.

Neurodivergent people everywhere appreciated how it made them go to being 5 bucks at a gas station instead of 20 + shipping

I believe Kbin already fills that role either as a fork or at least as a similar platform

the specificity is the chaos

It's a pretty common joke for libright people
