0.000% interest in any of it. This show is worthless trash TV fit only for cancelation. Please don't give Fathead the viewing figures. Have some self-respect. I've got plenty of confidence in myself, thanks. I'm also not irredeemably bitter. I'll watch this and be just fine. |

I'll give it a watch. If I don't like it I'll turn it off, bust a nut to Jenna Coleman and roll over and get some sleep. I can't be bothered to get angry about any of this. Life is too short.

It goes up on iPlayer tomorrow at 00:00, both episodes I assume. The premiere on Disney+ at the same time (which is about 7pm ET). Yeah isn't Christopher Lee just great in it? I seriously love those claustrophobic dramas that examine the awfulness and concealed evils of English parish life, Straw Dogs is another one, and maybe Hot Fuzz as well lol. That's coming from someone who's lived in small villages all my life. I know the types lol. |

I just stumbled across a video on the Doctor Who social media at random with the caption “What to expect in The Devil’s Chord”.
I feel oddly inclined to chime in with: “A load of bollocks”.

Another moron. Did anyone inform Mary Shelly, Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, or Asimov? What's Bugs Bunny done to deserve that slur? |

Another moron. Did anyone inform Mary Shelly, Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, or Asimov? What's Bugs Bunny done to deserve that slur? Here's what RTD said back in 2008 when he was crowing about how wonderful he was for having Jack Harkness, a bisexual man as the lead. " I do watch a lot of television science fiction, and it is a particularly sexless world. With a lot of the material from America, I think gay, lesbian and bisexual characters are massively underrepresented, especially in science fiction, and I'm just not prepared to put up with that. It's a very macho, testosterone-driven genre on the whole, very much written by straight men. I think Torchwood possibly has television's first bisexual male hero, with a very fluid sexuality for the rest of the cast as well. We're a beacon in the darkness." Now apparently it was always queer? The point of sci fi was that it was for everyone. It was a genre that was looked down on by snobs, so a lot of writers and actors who were rejected for similarly shallow reasons could gravitate towards it and be accepted, which yes back in the day could mean gay people. On top of that as it was more imaginative and flexible then it could have different types of leading men and women, which yes could include LGBT people. It makes me f*cking laugh to see RTD describe sci fi and fantasy on tv as a macho, testosterone driven genre. Really RTD? Okay lets look at the leads of some of sci fi's most famous tv shows? Lost in Space, Doctor Smith, yeah real alpha chad. Red Dwarf, yeah Lister and Rimmer, big alpha men. Star Trek, okay Kirk I'll give you to smoe extent, but even then that's exaggerated. Kirk is often a thoughtful, more romantic hero. Avon meanwhile computer genius and devious underhanded character, Philip J Fry, yeah real macho guy you've got there. Doomwatch again not exactly big alpha chads, and finally the Doctor himself. Finally as a lot of sci fi is about escaping the humdrum of our boring little world, then yes it wasn't as bound by the limitations as other genres. Hence why before he vandalized a classic we DID have a large range of people represented in the genre. From Rocky Horror, to Xena, to Buffy, there was plenty of LGBT content. In fact often leading forms of LGBT content in popular culture, like David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust persona were sci fi. That said however a lot of sci fi also was sexless because, and I know this is impossible for a shallow heat magazine loving moron like him to comprehend..... because it wasn't obsessed with who was shagging who! How much flagrant heterosexuality is there in sci fi series like DW, Lost in Space and Blake's 7? A few kisses and flirtations in B7 and that's it. The writers of these series were more focused on alien planets, time travel and monsters, you know the things sci fi can do that other genres can't? Still there has been a big LGBT presence in sci fi, but that didn't mean it was a queer genre, just that it was an open minded genre. RTD meanwhile is not an open minded man. He was NEVER the outcast who connected with the genre, I'm not saying you have to be to enjoy it btw, but still since he keeps trying to link it to that via it "being queer" then ironically no he wasn't. He was an Oxford boy who became the media darling because he wrote gay fiction, and was exactly the type to look down on the genre in the past. He only came to it, when it became more mainstream thanks to the work of others and made his contempt for the genre open and insulted its history by making out it lacked depth and was bigoted. Now however twenty years on he's such a narcissist he is trying to reshape it in his own image and wants to turn the genre and its fandom into an LGBT only club, by making out that LGBT people are the ones who get the genre more than straight people. He's a stain on the genre. |

Like most soap writers, Davies is only capable of stereotypes.
I think "Representation" in general comes from a well intentioned place, but in the hands of hacks like Davies, it does more harm than good, because you just end up with stereotypes.
In one sense, inclusivity and representation is a bit of a myth because you can't include multiple personality types, showing that gay/black/whatever people are all different types of people, so more often than not, you end up with stereotypes and lowest common denominator cliches. Unless you're a really good writer, which Davies isn't.

From the sounds of it this season is also saying "to hell" with good writing. I'm getting a bit bored to be honest. I obviously don't mind representation, but all RTD, Ncuti and some of the other cast and crew ever talk about is their sexuality. |
