Why not be in the middle then?
That's the way I am. Some of the stuff I've seen from what you'd call the left can go a bit too far but the same can be said by the right.
My point is that both sides can be just as bad. I think sometimes the message can be focused on too much for example and the story itself suffers.
I think Boom was more traditional although that was a Moffat episode
I don't think so.
I wouldn't be surprised if Ruby is Ruby's own parent somehow.
Yeah I always preferred Moffat myself too.
He played a lot more around with time and I really enjoyed that and also the fact his era was at times like a dark fairytale.
I read originally before filming the series, this was going to be the first episode but Moffat said it might be to much for an opener and I do see why. The first episode was a bit too silly but it did need to be lite
I mean the previous era as in Chibnall's era didn't do well so something clearly needed to change.
Don't get me wrong I do feel the new era feels a bit too Disney at times but Boom has given me hope
The irony is your complaining about people pushing their views and agenda but like every anti woke person you also have a massive agenda but just won't admit it. By making this statement about controlling and removing people your actually becoming the thing your against. It just reminds me of people who go on about the importance of free speech, those who believe in it until you say something they don't like.
For example there is a poster who likes to come on this board occasionally and comment about how bad of a companion Bill from series 10 is. The commenter claims it's too woke but has never watched that series, he just judged it from her trailer.
Now if he's never watched the series, how can he know how bad she is as a companion. Bill is black and also a lesbian, so the user has just decided this is too woke and never actually watched to see. If they had watched they would possibly see that he sexuality is part of her but not her main characteristic.
No one can ever define what woke actually is. I've seen some people for example say avatar 2 is very anti woke and then some say it is very woke.
And this is the point.
The people who claim to be anti woke often say agenda shouldn't be pushed and talk about box ticking but what they actually want is no diversity, they just don't want to admit to being racist etc.
You said it yourself, you don't want to see any blacks. I may never agree with the anti woke points but I'd respect them more if they where honest. It's not forced diversity that's the issue it's any inclusion.
The thing is we always knew the show would find a way to get around the regeneration limit but I feel the doctor should not know this.
By making the doctor have seemingly no limit it just takes away threat and tension. If he has a limited number of lives then he's going to use it wisely and each regeneration is important and a loss. Making the doctor basically have unlimited regenerations removes the urgency, the theat etc. if he dies, oh well it's just one of an unlimited amount of life's he uses.
Yeah I think the episode wasn't helped by the fact the Beatles looked nothing like the Beatles and due to the costs they didn't have any Beatles music.
A podcast also pointed out that the villains reason for killing music was also odd. If it feeds on music then surely removing it would actually starve them.
I'm not as bothered about the villain been stopped by a tune as it was what also brought it into this universe. If they keep doing the fully powerful thing all season though it would get tiresome
I think that's one of the things about new companions, they do need to learn about the doctor, but usually it's the basic he's a time traveller etc.
I also thought the bomb exploded and killed all life on Gallifrey but now are they suggesting it killed all time lords? Surely not all time lords would be on the planet so I don't get why they are doing the last of the time lords kind of thing again
