Er, what?

@juniperfish

I’m inclined to agree about Mina, although I think you’re right that it was more to do with simplifying the structure of a story which – in true style of its era – was a tad prone to wandering about the houses.

But I think Lucy was more of a metaphor for internet attention seekers – with their coterie of admirers (per @miapatrick…[Read more]

Well. if the white ghosty things start singing Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead we’ll know you were on to something…

@fatmaninabox

To be fair, I’m not sure stakes would be terribly effective against wolves and also, of course, wolves come with their own fear-lore.

Another easter egg: the ward Zoe was in was ward AD 72. Check out IMDB if not familiar.

Burned Lucy was epic and her demise a splendid nod to Buffy.

There was a bit of fluff on Twitter about the…[Read more]

A reminder that when we take the piss out of trolls, there is a very really nastiness behind them:

Two Whos talking Who (don’t know what event)…

@idiotsavon

Anyway, is there something wrong with my computer? Where are all the posts from new members who signed up to complain about diverse casting?

I think they just sent a representative.

SJW whinge: check

Cuck: Check

Erratic punctuation: Check

Poor anger management: check

Inability to get laid: implicit.

Why does the Master have to steal a body?

Somewhere in the dim recesses of my memory is the thought that this is an echo of something that has happened before. BG (but not necessarily DW)….

I have a flash of memory from many, many many years ago, of an air stewardess going along a plane and collecting passengers (who have all be…[Read more]

Dracula 2:

Speaking of fake outs….

@devilishrobby

Definitely not just you.

@badwolfalice   @twelveismydoctor

I thought they had a “neurones firing” vibe. Makes me think this might be a psychological representation of being squished into a matchbox.

Dracula.

Well I thought it was a hoot, and anything that get the Angry Virgins vexed has an edge in my book.

@julianantony

How is your squeeing going? ‘cos you’ll need to get it out of your system by Sunday!

General observation: still let down a bit by some lacklustre editing – scenes cut just a beat late (better to be early, as a rule) and a couple of “spell it out for the inattentive” moments that I suspect are forced but those-up-above rather than wanted.

And, of course, we know where Sacha Dahwan met the Doctor before…

@craig

welcome back to the land of the living(-ish).

Speaking of living-ish, a forum for Dracula?

@the-last-prydonian

An interesting comment let down by some puerile whinging about SJW/feminist crap that make you look like the worst Youtube fuckwit.

Well I think we’re going to have to give Chibbers credit for a World-class fake-out…

Happy New Year.

Neil Innes, RIP. He played a set ay Kingston Poly in about 1980 that remains one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Also, for those who know their spoof history, co-created The Rutles with Eric Idle. But this is lovely.

Nice Jodie Whittaker interview, hopefully not regional-locked. Spoiler-free, bar a few brief clips from the trailer.
