Every second that Jeffery Combs is not in frame is a second of the movie wasted.
Same. Reaper Man was the first Disworld book I read and my brain will always come back to it if I think I can worm it into a Discworld conversation.
I’ve been thinking about creating content for the Discworld fandom but most of it is rambling about Reaper Man.
Life would be so much more simple if we could all just stay home and watch Columbo.
Um...I have a few thoughts about this episode. It's not entirely negative because I think I liked it... but still.
The big thing is obviously the bi-generation and the splitting of the TARDIS. We have seen that the TARDIS is a living being with a personality. It even got a human form and confessed it's feelings. So what does splitting it do?
Also, New Who has made it a point to make REgeneration a big moment for all of us. We are saying goodbye to a face for good. If they ever reappear, it's at an earlier point in that Doctor's history. We will not get any REAL new stories from the timelines perspective. A favorite doesn't return return unless visiting them in the Doctor's mind.
Does Bigeneration cheapen our emotional connection to a certain Doctor? A Doctor that we've tuned in to watch each week for several seasons and then cried as they come to terms with being replaced. The monolouges and goodbyes that were beautifully written to comfort both the Doctor, any companions, and us the audience?
And really, that's all I'm worried about. How does this change how we view the most beautiful moments of Doctor Who, old and new? The grief and acceptance we go through each time with a new companion or a new Doctor. The loss and beginning anew? I love checking in on companions from different runs.
But if one Doctor is settling down and one is still going on through the stars, which one gets the happy ending? Because leaving 10/14 to live his life and never checking in on him again, he's just like a companion or the severed hand Doctor in a lot of ways. And the now "main" Doctor? Is he not still going to struggle with the same things?
Lastly as just a side note, did the Toymaster purposely missgender Missy? Because she was dying at the end of Capaldi's run and that looked like a woman's hand grabbing the gold tooth that he had trapped "The Master" in after he had won the game. I'm of the belief that 13th's Master takes place before Missy because of the character development we saw throughout 12's run ending with her "dying" alone instead of betraying the Doctor.
Okay okay I wanna play
Spin the wheel for a Shakespeare character!
Reblog for sample size, etc. Would love to hear what you got + reasoning in the tags!
them
Researching the more vague and supernatural aspects of Doctor Who in order to neatly sort them is definitely an experience.
Thank God for TARDIS wiki I guess, but this was mostly from memory and then whatever a few related links brought me.
Finished the Gunfighters.
I'm not usually a fan of films based off of Stephen King, but this line goes hard as fuck.
Happy twenty first Birthday to me!
Unfinished drawing of one of my favorite Discworld antagonists: Cosmo Lavish. He's a little under the weather.
(Yeah, I've been mentioning him more and more recently. So what?)
Terrible jokes and ramblings and OH GOD, THE PAIN! THE UNENDURABLE AGONY! (howdy)
