I recently visited Planet KRALKA on a whistle-stop inter-galactic tour, where I spied the most amazing sight. Believe it or not, there was the original incarnation of The DOCTOR, enjoying a quiet snifter of invigorating Kralkan air, in the company of a first-generation DALEK. (They were obviously visiting from the 1960s as the Doctor's current manifestation is a camp chap with an effeminate accent and in desperate need of a good ol' Glasgow slapping.) What's more astounding, however, was the fact that Doctor and Dalek appeared to be the best of pals.
Huh! Just goes to show you can't believe everything you see on the telly. They'll be telling us that they're only actors next. (What do you mean, there's too much vinegar on my chips?)
And yet you said the new Doctor's debut episode was entertaining, Kid, so I assume you prefer him to Jodie Whittaker.
ReplyDeleteI found the episode entertaining, CJ, but I'm still undecided about the Doctor himself. Woman or wooftah - you decide.
ReplyDeleteKid, you refused point blank to even watch Jodie Whittaker so the fact that you're prepared to give Ncuti Gatwa a chance is a big step I'd say! Did you know he was born in Rwanda but grew up in Scotland?
ReplyDeleteYes, but only because you mentioned it before, CJ. He's not getting an automatic 'pass' from me just because he's got Scottish connections though.
ReplyDeleteFor me, Dr Who finished in 1989 with Sylvester McCoy and a very enjoyable 1960s set Dalek adventure.Age is a factor of course but the novelty has worn off.For me the golden era was Jon Pertwee from early 1970 until Christmas 1973(I think).Years of Ogrons,Daleks,Adventures on Peladon,The Sea Devils,The Amzing Daemons and the Master episodes and the incredibly frightening Shop dummies/mannequins that came alive and smashed through the windows of the shop fronts.....brilliant and unforgettable!Hope you are well Kid and keep up the good work my friend.
ReplyDeleteIt's just a shame they couldn't have squeezed a few special episodes out of David Bradley as the first Doctor, TF, but he's probably too old now. It seems it isn't enough for the show to entertain, now they're trying to influence society according to the producers' own views. Hope you're well as well, and keep up the comments.
ReplyDeleteHomophobic slurs and wishing to punch someone for being gay. You really are the lowest of the low and anyone who supports you is just as much to blame.
ReplyDeleteAppropriating someone else's name is pretty low, and no one said anything about punching someone for being gay. What I humorously suggested was that anyone so annoyingly camp or effeminate deserves a 'slapping' to bring them to their senses, much in the way that one slaps hysterical people to calm them down. Anyone with a brain would see that it was for comedic effect and not intended to be taken seriously. Verdict? You really are an @rsehole.
ReplyDeleteYou’ve literally just admitted to my point. Saying the quiet part out loud, as they say. Everyone in the industry knows you’re a racist, homophobic, transphobic, bigot. You’re a joke. Nothing but a punchline. And every person that supports you is complicit. Thankfully the world is progressing and leaving people like you behind.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, 'everyone in the industry knows...' is a giveaway to your true identity, the amount of times you've used it. However, it's obviously a spurious claim for two reasons. Firstly, most people in the 'industry' will never have heard of me and don't know me from Adam. Secondly, there is no 'industry' any more. Now go and haunt a funeral. Maybe your own?
