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

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.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
