Andrew Fucking Wakefield can never suffer enough for everything he’s responsible for

Maybe I should at least reserve my real name on it…

*gets asked for mobile number

Nope, don’t care that much.

I got fucking chills the first time I realised who he was. Then his total change of demeanour, then when he finally said his name. Ooh. 2007. What a time to be alive.

I really liked ’the Fam’. It was a nice change of dynamic from previous (usually) single companions. And different from the Amy and Rory relationship too - grandfather/grandson and Ryan not being romantically involved with Yaz just felt different.

Plus they were all good fun and bounced well off The Doctor in their different ways.

And Jodie Whitaker was a great Doctor too. While I won’t try and defend every idea in every episode, we needed the change of pace from a decade of Moffat and Segun Akinola’s music was also excellent.

Thirteen gave me what I wanted out of a Doctor when she left - the desire for just a bit more time with her.

My favourite Doctor is:

1. Whoever is currently playing The Doctor

2. Paul McGann (the film wasn’t great but he was, and I wish we’d seen more of him than one mini episode and a quick cameo…)

Fugu. I’m far too much of a coward to try it normally.

I’d assume they were still called “Woody” and “Buzz”…

Nah, cows can’t move that fast.

They can’t fly either…

See, Disco had it right. Doctors wore white, compared to the navy blue uniforms of all the other divisions, including Sciences. Presumably during the war someone decided that your medic being conspicuously covered in blood gave a bad impression, that was downgraded to nurses (SNW Chapel) and the doctors wore blue (although the slightly lighter shade than science divison). Then later, nurses got blue as well (TOS Chapel). Or was Chapel a full MD by then? Not sure about that.

I’m in two minds about that. One the one hand, yes, of course - as all the original COBOL folks die off, the skills will be even rarer and thus worth more.

On the other hand, if we keep propping up old shit, the businesses will keep relying on it and it’ll be even more painful when they do eventually get forced to migrate off it.

On the other other hand, we know it works, and we don’t want to migrate everything into a series of Electron apps just because that’s popular at the moment.

Hah. To swap eSIM on O2 in the UK, you have to order a physical pack that gets posted to you with the QR code in. There is no way to get the code to appear on a screen you can scan with your camera, or in an app on the phone you can transfer to the phone’s eSIM manager. It’s so dumb.

Yes. The answer to this isn’t to restrict what the NSA can do, the answer is to stop people’s privacy being a legally tradable commodity.

Holy shit, Troy Baker is doing an incredible Harrison Ford impression…

I’m dubious on the first person stuff, especially since they seem to have put a lot of work into recreating Ford’s likeness. But I was dubious about Cyberpunk too, and that turned out OK, so what do I know?

Cautiously optimistic.

Fuck sparrows. I’d swipe right.

With a tennis racquet?

I am in this picture and I really don’t like it…

I mean Star Trek is not much better

What was it like before Disco came out? I know not everyone loved Enterprise, but was there always such a degree of animosity? I always thought Trekkies were generally pretty chill, especially compared to some of the assholes in the Star Wars fandom…

Also he’d need to know who Bob Marley was in order get the Jacob and Robert gag…

That’s a good point, hadn’t considered that.
