From the BAFTAs Staged-like skit with David and Michael :D <3 (here)
He could have gone to an internationally known whovian catch phrase like allons-y, but instead he used Neil's "wait and see" that is only really known online and anyone casually watching Good Omens wouldn't really pick up on it. I hope Neil is proud
Unbelievably proud.
is there a field of study about like, the effect od time periods on music? like no yeah not the tempo necessarily, that's kind of like how we separate time periods into their own kind of genre. like 90s rock or classical compisers.
but like, a comparison between the 70s musical choices for Willy Wonka vs. modern 2023 Wonka. the lyrical choices, the timing on the songs, the themes, repetition, and situations they choose to go into song (in the case of a musical where plot affects all of these)
how about popular instruments in certain countries and time periods? any focus on certain romanticism, somber or slow music, drinking songs, chants for revolt, hidden meanings for certain political periods? that kind of stuff
the fact the new series of hypothetical isn’t allowed to talk about the pandemic just in case people forget it happened is genuinely the funniest thing i’ve ever heard
Watch me scheduling this to be re-reblogged in two years for obvious reasons that I might forget in that time.
Reminds me of how YouTube used to demonetize videos that referenced covid and one channel started calling it the “Backstreet Boys reunion tour” instead.
I’m now imagining a video referring to “The death toll from the Backstreet Boys reunion tour is now in six digit figures” and I’m not sure even the gallows-iest of my gallows humour is ready for that.
“When will the devastation of the Backstreet Boys reunion tour end?” 😔
“I think we just need to get used to living with the Backstreet Boys reunion tour.”
“The Backstreet Boys reunion tour has revealed the structural faultlines of our society.”
“Only herd immunity can protect us from the Backstreet Boys reunion tour.”
The face of a woman who has her best friend back, her memories back, an open UNIT job with 5 weeks holiday on a £120K salary, a husband, a daughter, a TARDIS… DONNA NOBLE YOU WON
David Tennant being a lifelong doctor who fan who was inspired by the show to act, becoming the Doctor and Ncuti Gatwa who watched David Tennant and was inspired to act, playing the doctor opposite David’s doctor is the most beautiful thing
i love that we're using any pronouns for the Fourteenth Doctor. she's our silly girl, he's our beautiful boy, they're our beloved alien
I'm like "do you two want to be alone?"
Things I noticed or simply liked while watching "The Star Beast" again:
Weak ass NuWho bitches in the comments being all “wah wah the last season was disappointing! It’s going the same way!”
Come on people! Do you have any idea of the absolute bullshit the show put out in the 70s and 80s?
Doctor Who is the longest running science fiction television series OF ALL TIME! It doesn’t have a weak episode or a weak season, it has weak DECADES. So sit your asses down, put up, and power through until a regime change brings some creative ideas that are more in tune with your personal tastes like the rest of us do.
Honestly! Fucking amateurs!
I’ve only watched like a handful of Matt Smith episodes but I love this viewpoint lol
You haven’t lived till you’ve seen vintage Who. Cybermen who are literally just dudes wrapped in tinfoil, wobbly cardboard sets, every alien planet being the exact same quarry, the convoluted Galifreyan political subplots, the weirdly sexist attempts at feminism, the time the doctor died by falling from a very low height.
Really, it was so great. So terribly, terribly great.
MY DREEEEEAMS OF CON - QU ES T
This is why I can’t ever really be upset about Doctor Who, even when I don’t like an episode or feel a series is weak. It’s so vast, so weird, with so many stories that a few bad ones really doesn’t make much difference to me. It varies wildly in quality within the FIRST story!
It can’t go off the rails because it was never on the rails in the first place. It’s laying down the track in front of it as it goes like that scene in Wallace and Gromit.
YES! YOU! YOU UNDERSTAND THE POINT HERE!
THAT IS EXACTLY THE ENERGY OF DOCTOR WHO!
The Doctor used to wear celery as a lapel pin.
Their main recurring villain’s hands are a plunger and the inside bit of a paint roller, for fuck’s sake.
y’all have seen that post where someone points out that just about any episode that Daleks appear in- the guys with the plunger and the whisk- the appearance of the Dalek is always treated as some reveal plot twist
even though the name of the episode always contains the word Dalek in it

I joy to hear @neil-gaiman read/perfom A Christmas Carol at The Town Hall in NYC 🎄
So much fun.

Air kiss
It could've been them but they misunderstand each other seriously. Neil, please, Good Omens 3 with a happy ending.
