> I almost forgot about the new Doctor Who season. Looking at the comments, it seems it's not that good.
@commagray The first four episodes were pretty dull.
Also packed with social commentary, which is painfully obvious because of the overall weak execution including the said commentary.
But the fifth episode (the last one aired to date) was fun though. Pure fantasy, love it.
The influence of the Classic Doctor Who is pretty obvious too, but… the contemporary popular Internet culture references are still there and as strong as ever.
I was hoping they'll be gone with Stephen Moffat, but apparently not. Ugh, mediocre.
I will still tune in for the sixth episode of !drwho :-). Have a Jelly Belly and allons-y! -
Read the #ThingExplainer chapter on nuclear bombs to my son @rafael this weekend. He thinks most things in that book are dumb, but sat rapt for this one. So did I. It's less like "up goer 5" and more like how #DrWho describes the Last Great Time War, and utterly terrifying in its real-ity. !parenting

More bluntly: looks like the Wachowskis imprinted on #DrWho way earlier—with the other Baker… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm_HBOs1p5Q

So... the Wachowskis would have been watching Baker #DrWho in what stage of life? Impressionable teenagers?

Just watched Mark Gatiss' episode for series 36 of #DrWho. Not a fan of his Who work generally, but enough nods to the #Pertwee era to win me over. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZGZnDn0G5c

RIP Rodney Bennett, director of two of my fave #DrWho stories, Ark in Space and Masque of Mandragora. Indomitable! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtk1BE3toOg http://tobyhadoke.com/obituaries/rodney-bennett-rip-tom-baker-era-director-dies-aged-81/

Something made me recall this advertisement today. According to Davison, he had to be in the middle because Pertwee detested Baker and they needed to be kept apart. http://www.flickfilosopher.com/2010/09/doctor-who-thing-of-the-day-its-bigger-on-the-inside.html #DrWho

"It was harder in the wilderness years […] standing in a bookshop wearing my home-made Tom Baker scarf […] and this guy […] looking around furtively 'You're a fan, are you?' This is suspiciously close to dogging." http://theoodcast.com/knock-knock/ #DrWho

Late last night, having a wee swallie and partaking of some ethnic humour, I happened across David Tennant's first #TV gig. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWB3OSWPByQ #DrWho

Come to think of it, some other "showrunner" driven series could usefully learn to occasionally relax the pacing from Better Call Saul. ** cough #DrWho cough **

I agree with this considered opinion on something of utterly zero consequence: http://andydrewz64.blogspot.com.au/2016/11/doctor-who-or-doctor.html #DrWho

The only pinballl machine I was ever any good at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF8tfxc4IM0 The weird Delgado/Ainley Master hybrid was a bit freaky. If you can find room for 7 Doctors you can at least have 2 Masters. #DrWho

#OMGA No! Just once I'd like to see a 21st century Doctor outlast the producer (sorry, "showrunner") who hired him. http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/peter-capaldi-leaving-doctor-who-2017-christmas-special-steven-moffat-a7554411.html #DrWho

I now know to whom I should bequeath my collection. Before the Internet, there was the unattended office photocopier. https://whotopiamagazine.wordpress.com/2016/08/19/u-of-iowas-doctor-who-fanzine/ #DrWho

#DrWho Club of #AU is 40 years old. Antony "Doctor Wholigan" Howe and Dallas "Sidekick" Jones are still alive. 1980s #Bittorrent was airmailed VHS cassettes and a lecture room at #Sydney #uni. Happy days. http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2016/08/doctor-who-club-of-australia-to.html

Peter Davison's new autobiography sounds rather jolly. Tom Baker's autobiography will be hard to top, but I expect Peter knows as well as anybody what it's like trying to follow Tom. http://ur1.ca/q442g #DrWho

Damn. Missed #DrWho Day. Happy belated 53rd. "This old body of mine is wearing a bit thin."

Tho' interesting to see all the stuff from Power of the Daleks that Mark Gatiss shamelessly homaged 40-odd years later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XssNxLTcWE #DrWho

Power of the Daleks recon was about as painful as expected. Lots of lengthy pauses, where clearly lots of non-verbal actor-stuff was going on, lovingly "reconstructed" in the form of cardboard cutouts wobbling from side to side in silence for no apparent reason. #DrWho
