Yep. It's not a good run. You should talk to blueshift about it. He has a few mild opinions. No, I don't think I'm going to poke that bear.

It's quite shocking. You know, irl blueshift is quite the potty mouth. He might come across as a nice young man on here but my word he can turn the air blue.

I won't be baited!
Chibnall just seems to forget how stories work and his era is pretty much just stuff on the screen. And it isn't even interesting stuff most of the time

It's like a Saturday teatime comedy-drama, not science fiction. It's not weird. It's... boring. I really want to like Whittaker, I think a female Doctor is overdue and I think she is definitely hamstrung by poor writing, but she just seems to constantly ask questions all the time wide-eyed, and wave her sonic screwdriver around. She doesn't seem two thousand years old, like Capaldi did. And this is a hard thing for a Yorkshireman to say, but the Yorkshire accent doesn't seem to translate well to screen. (But that's probably the poor writing too. Obviously.)

The constant sonic use is definitely a problem. I'm not sure what that's about, it just implies the Doctor doesn't know anything until the sonic tells her. The sonic started out life as a hands-free screwdriver, not a Star Trek tricorder.

Watching Timeless Dude now.
.....seems constantly one step behind. The Doctor should be one step ahead!
I'm not entirely sure what's going chums.
I don't mind this Master, but it should, and could, have been Missy. That would have worked really well.

Still finishing off the extras on the season 23 set. The writers' room bit with Saward, Bidmead, Daly and Martin together is nice. Saward really is still miserable about just about everything.
Bidmead - I wanted to call it 'IN the Hollows of Time' what do you think? Would that have been better? Saward - Lumpen. Bidmead - Pardon? Saward - I think it's Lumpen.

The doctor clearly recognised them, so why didn't she anticipated them? They cleared arrived on that planet at that time on purpose, with all their anti-Cyberman gear, so why not go back earlier and try to stop the Cyber War? Save more humans? Why intervene right at the end when all the humans are already dead? The Timeless Child bit as a concept I didn't have too much trouble with, but it just, I dunno, seems a bit silly somehow. It's a complete rewrite of the character's origin. Again: it's Saturday teatime soap opera. Running around shouting and doing random things. Anyway. What's this Fux all about then? Two episodes in.

My god you're binging on binging here. Wait, when did you start with Rose? How long has this taken you? See above. But I am cracking through them. Who's Rose? Not Rose Tyler... I hated Rose Tyler. Soap opera. I'M NOT INTERESTED IN THE COMPANION'S FAMILY EXPLOITS!!!!! Edit: I may be tapping into some latent Doctor Who anger here or something. Not sure what's going on. I seem to be taking things rather personally. The internet tells me that's a thing that there is.
