If they tried the Iris Wildthyme bit in mainstream Doctor Who I think the fans would probably assassinate the showrunner
This should also extend to events we are shown onscreen. Halfway through the silly pirate episode, a writer should be able to undo David Tennant 2. Trenzalore was a bit. The show is about a trickster bullshit merchant, why HAS unreliable narrator never been done actually

Half the "Doctor Who should do X" posts you see on here are not story ideas but people fantasizing about an opening which retcons every grievance they have with the previous era as a dream, simulation, gas leak, block transfer computation, etc.
Nothing worse than when you can tell a show REALLY regrets a prior writing choice and is trying to backtrack so hard

If it's a genuine quote, it's kind of damning. Criticism of Hitler's warlike nature (bit rich coming from a man whose nationalist campaigning was a source of inspiration to Hitler), not a word on the social terror unleashed on minorities. Which of course the Turks were doing too.
Atatürk, Hitler tarafından kendisine yollanan bir filmi yanındakilerle birlikte sofraya oturmadan önce izlemiştir. Bu, Hitler ve Partisinin bir propaganda filmidir. Salon aydınlanınca Atatürk ve arkadaşları sofraya geçmişlerdir ve âdet olduğu üzere, “Nasıl buldunuz?” diye sormuştur. Etrafındakilerin yanıtlarını dinledikten sonra şunları söylemiştir: • “Efendim, bu adam, filmde gördüğünüz gibi rol icabı bir hamle ile işe başladı. (...) Bugün Almanya’nın bütün askerî gücü onun elinde. Yarın harbe girişecektir. O ve onun mukallidi Mussolini harbe hazırlıkla meşguller. Evet, yakın bir gelecekte harbe dalacaklardır.” • “Dalacaklardır, çünkü asker değillerdir, harp ne demek bilmezler… Harp bir felakettir ve hele bu iki müttefik için mutlaka ölümdür. Talih Almanya’ya öyle bir toprak vermiştir ki, o, daima iki ateş arasında kalmaya mahkûmdur.” • “Körü körüne hesapsız, kitapsız bir nefis itimadı, tamamen otomatik bir ordu sistemi, ilk hamlede korkunç bir kuvvet tesiri yapacak, fakat bir kere bir tarafı sakatlandı mı, tarumar olacak, o çalışkan millet yere serilecektir. Ortada ne Hitler, ne teşkilatı kalacaktır. Mussolini’den hiç bahse hacet yoktur, o, efendisinin ortadan kalktığı gün yok olacaktır…” Prof. Ali Canip Yöntem’in Yeni Türk Edebiyatı Üzerine Makaleleri, ss. 816 – 817.

Doing the Mad Men "Jackie/Marilyn" on all the Doctors but for Hartnell/Troughton
heading back to my doctor who chronological watchthrough and patrick troughton really was the goat. crazy how much of the show's identity came from his portrayal of the character

Wasn't this the point of hereditary aristocracy?
Remarkable fact: though Origin of Species was published 167 years ago, there are as yet no long-lived groups who embraced the idea of trying to purposely live so as to win at evolutionary competition. Winning groups are doing so by pursuing other goals.

They're inventing whole new ways of driving cars into children
Turns out the future does have flying cars

People like this are "post-literate". They view the acts of writing and reading only as a means to an end and not worthwhile experiences in and of themselves. Also they mostly read posts
as soon as AI is good enough to write blog posts in my voice as good as I would have written them, i intend to use AI to do so. I know what I want to say, and I could say so much more if I didn't need to manual labor the words out one by one

Look there's a lot that bothers me about the Narnia trailer but if your takeaway from the VILLAIN being associated with a futuristic, seductive, allegedly Satanic song is to conclude the movie is on her side, I suspect you kinda just don't know how to watch things

You're saying they made Jadis the apocalyptic villain a creature of modernity, with associations of drug use, and rock'n'roll, but that this somehow means Gerwig is telling a story about how Christianity is bad?

I know it's just a figure of speech, but it's a lazy one: no, it doesn't "fix" the mistake when you're doing it for an audience of a few thousand. The existence of a good thing somewhere in the body of work is a technicality, not a fix. winteriscoming.net/doctor-wh…

No opinions on this yet, but it's interesting to see how the Doctor's "wacky" fashion and styling don't really stand out anymore in modern times. Basically looks like someone you could run into on the street.

I know this art direction is aimed at pre-schoolers, but I get the feeling you'd attain better results by actually doing the Hartnell/Capaldi thing of dressing the character in black to contrast the surroundings. As it is the Doctor kinda just looks like a companion

I'm curious to know if they're going to pursue a bit of an educational remit the way the live-action show was supposed to have when it was first commissioned. You'd think the target demo would give them more leeway to do it

Don't say it too loudly, but the underlying problem is that any kind of sufficiently patriotic imagery or performance will begin to echo Nazism, because Nazism is the logical endpoint of nation-states.

Nations like France, Italy and Turkey were created by eliminating or forcibly assimilating local ethnicities and dialects to form homogenized, centralized nations. Historical Nazism was the continuation of that process on industrial and international scales.

National governments are doomed to endlessly recreate the optics of Nazis because they're built by the same tools, using the same tricks, serving the same ends.
