I always thought it was intentional to portray the Daleks as powerful beings, but pathetic when their case is cracked open and you see what is controlling them.

I've never equated Daleks to wheelchair users in my life, not even when I was a nipper. They were make-believe aliens hellbent on exterminating everyone that wasn't like them.

ANYWAY.

Yup, hate personified.

 

 

On the Davros topic in general, my thoughts are this isn't the first time we've seen Davros not in a wheelchair. He wasn't always as physically damaged. So I see no issue with depictions of points in his life before that. It is a time travel show.

 

I don't think the entire depiction of Davros is being changed.

Want to identify as a cat? "You're not mentally ill, this is perfectly okay! And if anyone disagrees, then they are a ######!" is today's message.

People have been identifying as cats for decades, and they really don't care what you think about it.

Thanks for your useless commentary I guess, seeing as I didn't seek approval from people who want to identify as cats I don't know what the fuck you're on about or even trying to prove.

I could say the same of you.  But I have better things to do.

Okay okay, so.. I caved and watched it and.... NPH was bloody amazing as the Toymaker! Totally smashed it out of the park, especially the dance number!

 

Not sure how I feel about the thing where Ncuti showed up, but I don't hate it.   Just kind of a "what?" if you know what I mean...  I hope he gets some good writing moving forward because the awful writing is what ruined Jodie's Dr...

 

I enjoyed all the call backs to previous adventures too, but wasn't so sure about Mel... She wasn't exactly the most popular of companions... Mostly because Bonnie Langford in the 80's was a BLOODY ANNOYING CHIPMUNK! :p

Yeah I loved this special.

Spoiler

Wasn't expecting, but loved the "bigeneration".

And had already loved the new Tardis, but did feel something was off/incomplete with it. Seeing the duplicate get created, with slight differences, brings it all together 👍

 

Can't wait to see if David ever gets to show up in future specials now lol

The effect was cool... The comedy was hilarious... The concept was kinda dumb...

Did anyone notice David had a wee little trouble with his accent this time round?

I did yeah, but then I also noticed in all 3 eps that, to me at least, he doesn't look that well... He's looking REALLY thin and pallid TBH... Hope he's okay...

After pondering this a bit I believe it was all completely intentional, even down to the oddly single-buttoned "barely hanging on" vest, to demonstrate this is a Doctor who has been strung out.

Further driving home the point of the end of the Giggle, and the pit stop at the Noble clan.

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
