Warb you conveniently left out the part where you complained about feminist agendas…yet again.

And my worry was about a feminist agenda being shoved in our faces, not just the gender change.

That was literally him explaining that he wasn’t worried about an agenda. You’re being dense and antagonizing him over nothing.

I wasn’t complaining again, I was correcting ChainsawAsh about what my previous worry was.

Anyway, can we drop it now?

Did anyone notice that the Doctor was wearing an earring at the end of the episode? When did she pierce her ear? Did she regenerate with the piercings? Not complaining, just fun to point out little things like that.

I did not notice that. Are you sure her ear was pierced? Aren’t there earrings that work without a hole in the ear?

There are, but it was.

However, the Third Doctor suddenly had a tattoo after regenerating from the Second Doctor, and I believe there’s been at least one Doctor that had scars the previous Doctor didn’t display (like Smith if I’m not mistaken).

So there’s some precedent for cosmetic differences through regeneration such as pierced ears.

Also I can’t recall exactly, but don’t feel like looking it up - but didn’t Capaldi have pierced ears (or at least one), he just never wore any ear jewelry on the show? It wouldn’t be out of character for Capaldi, who was something of a rocker and a rebel in his youth.

“Dense” is wrong and “antagonizing him over nothing” is your opinion. Maybe he shouldn’t say stupid shit like “feminist agenda.”

You haven’t watched Dr Who in years, but gave the latest doctor a run last night.

Sad to say I feel asleep before the end, not a reflection of the show, just a reflection of what a combination of cold air, warm bed, and exhaustion will do to you.

It seems like positively typical Doctor Who fair to me which is both a positive and a negative. I’m not a Whovian, and the typical Doctor Who formula always seems a little childish to me.

The cast seem to be top-notch. So all in all great show I would say.

This is an interesting tense to choose.

I was hoping it would be a choose your own adventure post.

Sadly it was not.

You are sorry and will do that next time.

You do realize that it originated as a children’s/family type show, right?

Sure, but that doesn’t mean the series can’t mature with the times, which I’d argue it has.

I’d also argue that the S11 premiere was the most adult it’s been in a long time, though, so I’ve gotta disagree somewhat with dahmage’s assessment of the episode feeling childish.

Sure. But he said “the typical Doctor Who formula always seems a little childish to me.” My point is, that there is a reason for that: the show originated as a children’s show. When a show originates as a children’s show, it should be no surprise that the typical formula for said show would seem a little childish.

I am unfamiliar with any children’s show Origins for Doctor Who. But like ash said it’s been more of a family geared show the entire time I’ve seen it AKA starting in 2005 with intermittent episodes since then. (I stopped watching regularly soon after the first doctor switch I think). So I don’t think that really matters originally came out of the children’s show or what.

What I mean is everything about the Sonic Screwdriver and the timey-wimey and wilblewomble and all the hand-waving Whenever there could be interesting technical stuff always kind of bugs me. The the aspect of that that is essentially the same way that children play together.in other words you just say what a thing is and that’s what it is and it does what you says it does even if that makes no sense. Play make-believe is wonderful don’t get me wrong, but I see aspects of that in Dr Who and that’s why it just isn’t really for me.

And yes Doctor Who has always been this way in my opinion sometimes it’s endearing but at the end of the day I just prefer something a little more Sci-fi.

Shoot does this mean that we need to create a is Doctor Who sci-fi thread?

I don’t think so. I think this thread will be enough.

it was a joke referencing the “is star wars sci-fi?” thread over at the general star wars discussion, i think.

The fantasization of Who under Moffat is one of the biggest problems I had with his tenure but it’s something that’s been an issue throughout the entire Revival era.
