RE: The background music.

While Murray Gold is an absolute musical genius, they really should turn down the volume of the background/incidental music by about 50%. 

This has been an issue on much more than Dr Who in recent years...

I've been thinking and I have a feeling Rose's face showing up has something to do with Bad Wolf since reality got fucked up due to the wish and the 1 degree thing clearly didn't work as planned.

Now Bad Wolf has to fix reality as was kinda hinted at way back in the David Tennant days.

I also love these videos she makes: 

 

I was also thinking about that daughter. I think there's more to her than we know.

Also can't help but notice that it was said multiple times that the Gods play tricks.

I was thinking, and was going to post, almost exactly what @Brandon Hjust posted!

It's definitely a curious omission, but not curious enough that I'm tempted to start watching again! :p Billie Piper was the one thing I hated about Dr Who's return to the screen.

Disney+ will be exiting the Tardis and will no longer be involved with Doctor Who after partnering on two seasons with the BBC plus a spin-off of The War Between The Land and Sea.

The BBC just confirmed that the show will continue and will return with a Christmas special in 2026 penned by showrunner Russell T. Davies. We understand details of future seasons will be announced in due course along with an animation for pre-school children.

I can't imagine the global viewing figures (because in the UK, we don't watch it on Disney+) were much to write home about.  A vocal fanbase that like "the quirky Bri'ish sci-fi" certainly wouldn't have been sufficient to sustain such a show - especially considering it keeps flirting with being a wannabe "blockbuster" show.  The rabid fans of "classic" Who also are unlikely to have cared.  I have/had nothing against the house of mouse throwing some money at the distributors to get it on their platform, but I really didn't see it as quite the fit that it was billed as being, more suited to BBC Worldwide or such.

I'm not surprised. There are many shows out there that it is competing against.

RTD and Bad Wolf out
Everybody lied, there was never a Christmas script done, even though they said there was
RTD brought it back then killed it with the PC overload and garbage nonsensical stories

Who knows what production company will want to drink from the poisoned chalice now.

The squandered opportunity with the Disney partnership will go down in production folklore

Everything I have read is that the BBC is still Pro Doctor Who but wants a solid plan before they let anyone else try to do it. Which is fair.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
