Judging from their commentary tracks on "The Silurians" and "The Green Death", I got the impression that RTD had flattered Dicks and Letts considerably. They saw the Master's comeback in Series 3 as a kind of personal tribute to their work on Doctor Who. They specifically pointed out the scene where the Master watches the Teletubbies in "Sound of Drums". I believe Dicks also mentioned in a written interview that he didn't believe Davison, Colin or McCoy were "fit for purpose". Yeah again I mean it's hard to get too worked up by it because it is all just taste. If they preferred Tennant as a leading man that's fine, but to say he was more the Doctor than three 80s Doctors? What Tennant kissing and falling in love with a 19 year old, young enough to be his grand daughter. Literally Susan was 17 when she left the show. That apparently is born to play it material? It contradicts everything Dicks said when making the show and in the years after, about how it's important to not change the Doctors character too much, and you could tell in interviews that he was upset at some of the things New Who did, but he always adopted a "It's not my place to say." Attitude. Funny he never did that for the 80s Doctors, including poor Colin who he knows was the most hurt by all that happened. Not saying "oh Dicks is such a bad guy" or anything, but he let the show down there and proved to be supseptible to flattery. |

Funnily enough I've heard that from someone else before and I'm not too fond of him either. I think I might just shove my Essential Terrance Dicks novel in the charity bag now. I'm happy JNT only used him once, the bitter idiot. |

Joss Whedon for instance was a royal prick but I still love most of his work. Also in all fairness that's nowhere near the closest to the worst thing Terrance Dicks has said in interviews. I'm not talking about what he said about JNT. His opinions could be a tad right wing and reactionary LOL. |

I'm also fond of The Five Doctors and obviously Horror of Fang Rock (Which I watched yesterday). I just don't appreciate his and indeed Ian Levine's comments about the three 80s Doctor being miscast and not having that special something, Even Eric said it about Colin Baker on a DVD extra which is total bollocks. If anything, Colin was more Doctorly than Davison was. |

Amazon Prime delivery drivers. I was at home and near the door after I was informed that my package was a mere few stops away. For some reason they didn't actually knock on my door and instead delivered it to a different house. I went to her door earlier but she's not in sadly and I can't go back as it's too late in the evening now. I'll have to pick it up tomorrow when I get up provided she isn't at work. I just don't know why Amazon do this. Unbelievable. It happened again today although they shoved it in some bushes across from my house instead. They knocked and I got to the door within seconds, but he was already up the road again when I opened it. Apparently the parcel was "handed to resident" Poor show, Amazon. Twice in the space of 24 hours. I might start buying from HMV from now on. |

If anything, Colin was more Doctorly than Davison was. Does Ian Levine feel that way about the 80s Doctors? I thought he liked them, it was just JNT he hated for personal reasons? Either way I do like Dicks writing too. State of Decay is an all time classic, but yes he was ultimately a sell out and took part in buying into the media's smear campaign against the show, whilst being shallow enough to be seduced by the success of RTD (which didn't last long.) Again won't hold it against him in the long run, but he really let the show down that way. |

When celebrities try and make out that their critics are just trolls. The latest example, Jameela Jamil who has had a habit of making awful, ill informed, Misandrist comments online recently said she was leaving twitter now that Elon Musk is in charge. Now I am no fan of Musk. He is a total wanker and a parasite, but this is a platform, that the gay stoning, woman beating, honour killing, Islamo fascist Saudi Arabia have had a share in for the last ten years. To say nothing of that slug Nick Clegg, a man who was complicit in the destruction of Libya and who is a genuine threat to free speech having an influence over it too. If anything Musk is positively likable compared to those two.
Yet she decided to quit it on moral grounds over Elon Musk having it and made a big song and dance over it too. Naturally she got a lot of shit over that, and her response rather than either letting it blow over, or acknowledging that twitter has never been owned by decent people, was to make out that all of her critics were just white men who wanted to kill her.
See here.
MY DMS ARE WILD TODAY.
I said this and then left, after Elon bought Twitter, and some angry white men are seemingly quite upset. They keep talking about how I don’t want free speech. That I’m a dumb bitch (partially true tbf) and some just told me how they want to kill me- standard. I don’t want a freedom of hate speech because it is detrimental to the freedom of speech of the oppressed as they face such horrific and scary real life consequences for objecting to their oppression. This is a move towards (esp straight male) white entitlement. Nobody else is safe there if they do not think the already HORRIFYING vitriol on that app is enough “freedom.” It’s about to become The Purge and some sort of crypto bro fever dream I fear. Why bother when I could just be happy and play with Barold and eat cake ya know?
Freedom to speak, and freedom to not listen and protect my sanity instead.
It appears obvious some of these people were looking forward to being able to abuse me on Twitter, and have had to come to my DMs to spew their boring bullshit. Sign of what’s to come on there eh? Let the angry boys have their toy. Once there is nobody there to make bigoted jokes about, or to oppress or threaten to rape, they will fizzle out and go back to Reddit where they came from. 🥸
In short: YAY MORE TIME THINKING ABOUT BAROLD! wahey Barold!
I don't doubt she will have had some genuinely nasty comments, but to make out that was what the majority of people were saying to her, and not addressing the actual, valid criticism of her public statements is ridiculous. It's just too easy an excuse to hide behind and worse it undermines people who have genuinely been bullied online's claims like Katie Waissel.

Levine loves the McCoy era now (unless he's since changed his mind again lol). He admitted on Twatter that his previous hatred of it was solely down to his antipathy to JNT.

F****g postman leaves note, so now I have to start traipsing down on a bus to collect something. I was in all morning, no one knocked on the door, and why they couldn't just leave it when they do everything else anyway is beyond me.
I don't think these people comprehend the concept of the bloody post. The whole point is that they bring it to you, not the other way round.

1) The Capaldi/Whittaker eras. 2) Post-2017 Star Trek. 3) Both left- and rightwingers. 4) Jam and honey and mayonnaise. 5) JJ Abrams slander (come at me, idgaf XD) 6) The fact that we still don't have a new series of Stargate. 7) Death 8) Pulp in my orange juice. 9) People hailing The Sopranos a masterpiece (it's good, but it's an incredibly flawed piece of work) 10) Bad acting in porn. 1/ Agreed, especially the Capaldi era because it has somewhat escaped the absolute slagging it deserves because what came after was worse. I've often said that Moffat is like the Emperor Tiberius. IE both showed promise early in their careers in different fields (as a general and as a writer) but when put in charge, both were utterly incompetent. They fired/sent people into exile when they disagreed with them (like Moffat screaming YOU ARE ERASED FROM DOCTOR WHO!) to his producer. Both were insecure and desperately wanted to be liked and listened to the wrong people (SJWs, Sejanus) which in both cases resulted in anyone criticising the wrong people (SJWs and Sejanus) being banned/exiled. At the very end, both knew that they were going to be hated so they picked someone even worse as a successor to overshadow them and sadly it worked. Chibnalls and Caligula. Casting Jodie was Caligula saying he was a god, the revelation of a pre Hartnell Doctor was like the horse being made senator, and the Timeless children was him eating the fetus. Finally the Sea Devils is like his war against Neptune that was pointless and cost the economy/the bbc a lot. 2/ I agree with Iank, make that post 2005 Star Trek. Quinto shouting Khaaaaaaaaan is unintentionally hilarious. 3/ Well I agree to some extent. I am a lefty myself, but left and right have become tribes for lots of people. Tribalism is an ugly part of being human. We'll do it for everything. Religion, sports, sci fi fandom. So many people will just join the left or the right because they maybe agree with a few issues on one, or they want to belong. They'll then defend that side no matter what. Case in point, McCarthyism where people are fired by extreme right wingers for their opinions, or today where Gina Carano a conservative is fired for her opinions. Or right wingers defending Augusto Pinochet, a murderous dictator, or left wingers supporting Castro, a murderous dictator, or Mary Whitehouse getting DW censored for her opinions, or SJWs forcing the show to pander to them. The horse shoe effect is real, but it doesn't apply to the left and right's policies, just the tribalism that affects both. I am NOT a centrist though as that is another tribe, and one that combines the worst of both as seen with Blair or even an old poster here. Rawkuss. I had nothing against Rawkuss personally, but his politics were crap. 4/ I love all three so f*ck you. 5/ Sorry but I am with Ian, he is overrated and a brat. 6/I have only seen the recent series with Robert Carlyle and it was quite good. Carlyle as always was excellent. He was kind of an Avon type character. The stone thing though was utter garbage. 7/ Depends on who it comes for? Rik Mayall, Christopher Lee and Amy Winehouse I was very upset over. When it comes for Tony Blair, Hillary Clinton and Bo Jo eh not so much. 8/ Agreed. 9/ The Sopranos was like the Wire, Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones. One of these shows everyone just decided to hail a masterpiece for shallow reasons. "oh it's gritty, it's got sex etc" but which people then either turned against in just as ridiculously an OTT way or forgot about. 10/ Never watched porn, so I can't comment, but I wouldn't have thought the acting or story was what mattered  10) I don't think you need to watch porn if you watch Xena  |
