Doctor Who 2022

It smacks of "I can't be bothered 99% of the time, if anything happens that might be within the 1% sphere of interest that I can't be arsed to look out for myself then come and wake me up and if that doesn't happen then I will roundly chastise everyone"

(sorry, still ill with covid and feeling a bit arsey atm)

I'll put it down to covid, but there is no need to get arsey with me. Normally it is impossible to ignore a special episode, this time it was somehow easy. I would have almost certainly chosen to watch it at a later date anyway. I have not ticked off 'days to dr who' on a calendar since I was 12.

Well there are plenty of us who love Doctor Who, and don't understand your need to come onto threads about it with what appears to be "meh, boring, I don't get it" line, and the asking for explanation when you clearly just want to denigrate it? That's getting very old now. Why don't you find something to watch that you actually enjoy?

You said "Well if I am not tagged" - do you want to be tagged or don't you?

No. I was just stating that if I am not tagged it won't show up on my alerts bell so if it's not in 'new posts' I probably won't see it. I do usually see alerts to threads that I have previously responded to, but sometimes this stops happening.
I very rarely search for something on u75, and if I do it is because it is something I am already aware of.

I'm stating the fact that I did not see the anything about the show on sunday. I was completely unaware it was happening.
I was not making a request to be informed about it. Far from it. I really don't want to be tagged. I just thought it was a point of interest that despite Dr Who being of interest to me, this never showed up on my radar on social media or any advertising that I saw.

So do you want to be tagged or not? I will tag you if you want to have updated Doctor Who information as and when it comes out.

If you just want to whinge that you didn't see any info (and weren't tagged) then please feel free to go for it with full force, having turned down my kind offer to keep you updated.

What?
Yes I am pissed off with the current writing, but I wouldn't comment if I didn't care. No need to be a thread nazi, are we only allowed to write of our gushing love of new Dr Who?

You have lost not just any debate ever, but also the plot.

Oh FFS.
I said I don't want to be tagged. I never asked to be tagged.
I am commenting on the media campaign and lack of usual social media buzz around new Dr who on my radar. I am not whinging about missing it or not seeing any info about it, I am commenting that it is odd that I was unaware of it (as others have also done).
 
I didn't tag you, you fucking moron - I asked you if you wanted me to tag you because you seem completely oblivious to new Doctor Who stuff and I was offering to keep you updated - calling me a nazi was never going to go well. Go and take a break from the boards, you are being ridiculous.

I could easily flip that. You really don't seem to be grasping my very basic point. There does not seem to have been as much fuss /promotion /buzz about the new episode as I would have expected.

Please don't call me a 'fucking moron' if you can't even read and digest what I have already written several times.

I know you didn't tag me.
I don't want to be tagged.
I never asked to be tagged,
I was only saying that as a doctor who fan it was perhaps 'of note' that I didn't hear about the new episode.

I called you a thread nazi because you demanded a thread only of positive comments about the new show.
 
You likened me to a nazi, over a basic discussion about where it was possible to find info about the latest Doctor Who news.

I am not forgetting this, do not respond to me again

You dictated what should and should not me written on the thread and said that I should leave.
I didn't call you a nazi I called you a thread nazi.
It's a term, get over it.

Calmly look back at what you have written and what my responses have been. You have completely misunderstood from the very beginning and wound yourself into an incredible tiz. I can't type it out any clearer than I already have.

Oh for fucks sake fuck off.

I get that you are a bit like me (I think we are both a bit autistic) but you can't just come barrelling in and call people a nazi if you disagree with them a bit, that is completely out of order both to the person you have said it to and the 7 MILLION DEAD PEOPLE.

Do not EVER use that as an insult. EVER.
 
This showing didn’t get a massive hooha around it because it was meant to be advertised as part of the massive celebrations around the BBCs centenary. But then they didn’t dare go ahead with that celebration because the Tories hate the BBC (and a bit because an old woman died), so all the hype for this episode fell by the wayside.

A shame, cos it was a decent episode. I was worried at first that the Doctor may have come in on the side of the Tsarists in the Russian Revolution, but thankfully not. Dhawan was excellent, the plot actually made sense and they held the schmaltz back. V enjoyable ninety minutes.
 
I liked that episode a lot. Some things didn't make much sense but that's pretty much a given with the series nowadays. But it was gripping and entertaining.

I was also very impressed with Sacha Dhawan's performance. He really does play a good psycho villain :)

Stop it.

Just to flip that . . You can't just tell people what they can and can't post on a thread just because you disagree with them a bit.

You're the one who called me a nazi, and always will be.
You absolute cock.

You know what, I don't have much of a life really, but massive thanks to those of you who always take the time to make what life I do have a little bit worse than it could have been.

I hope it makes you and your family happy and proud knowing that one day you called someone who started out trying to be nice to you a nazi and made them cry and feel small.
When you could have just not said that and not made someone's day a thousand times worse.

I wasn't telling anyone what to post, it started out me asking if you wanted me to tag you when I had any Doctor Who news since you seemed to miss the boat on this episode, I was offering to go out of my way for you to tag you because I didn't want you to miss anything if you were unable to keep up with the news, then it just seemed like the issue wasn't that you didn't know but just wanted to have a moan and I legitimately do not know how to deal with the situation, I was trying to be nice and you got really nasty with me and I don't know why

A 'thread nazi' . . .not an actual nazi.

Equally you could have not called me names, told me that I wasn't welcome to post my thoughts on the thread.
I can't say your comments brought me much joy either. . . . including the comment above.
I know nothing about what you are doing behind your computer screen apart from calling me a 'fucking moron' who can 'fucking fuck off'.
You didn't grasp the basics of what I was saying but kept pushing.
I have learned that I know nothing of the person/people on the other side of the screen and perhaps should be more sensitive to that. . . but again, that goes both ways. You assume I am not upset?

You said you were sick of my negative comments about doctor who and I should watch something liked and get off the thread

You missed the point. I was just saying that I had missed the news of the new episode. I considered this odd. Others on this thread have said the same.

I wasn't having a moan. I was pointing out the lack of advertising and social media presence of the event.

I'm sorry, but you were nasty first, you literally told me to get off the thread, and even then I didn't actually say anything nasty . . . ok, maybe I should have said 'thread fascist' or 'thread dictator' but those are not common phrases. A 'cake nazi', road nazi etc etc is not a nazi, in the same way a 'media whore' is not an actual 'whore'. . . but I understand that you have been sensitive to this and will take it on board for the future (not just for you, for everyone I don't know).
 
I wasn't nasty, I started out offering to tag you if there was any Doctor Who news -something that would have been going out of my way in an offer to help you, if you wanted to know about Doctor Who stuff since your complaint initially seemed to be that you hadn't heard about anything.

Please stop being so fucking horrible to me, I have had as much as I can take. Please just stop and leave me alone. I started out trying to be nice.

Calling someone any version of nazi or fascist is not on, and as a lifelong anti-fascist (and I've been fucking beaten by riot police for being such) it is particularly hurtful. Please don't take it so lightly when you say that in future.

And I told you right from the beginning that you had misunderstood my post and that I did not want or need notifications.
I had not made a complaint. I was observing that there was less advertisement of the new episode and Dr Who in general than I would usually expect.
I wasn't asking to be tagged, I wasn't moaning, I wasn't complaining.

I am not being horrible. The worst thing I did was say 'thread nazi'. My apologies for that. I did not mean offence. I did not take kindly to being told what I should/could or couldn't post on a Dr Who thread. You are obviously very sensitive and I am sorry I that I can't see that from behind a computer screen. . . but I didn't start this.

Sure.
 
The Ace and Tegan stuff was as cringy as fuck, and neither of them can act. The story was terribly overblown — are they really at the point where they’ve devalued daleks, the cybermen and the Master soooo much that they have to have them all at once just to create credible threat? (Probably — they all still can’t shoot for toffee). And once again it was a breathless plot with zero pacing, like something you’d play on a screen during a cinema based rollercoaster. And by creating so many threads, you’re left afterwards gradually remembering how much was unresolved.

I liked Sacha Dhawan though. So there’s that.

One thing I thought they underplayed, plotwise, was the rogue dalek. How did that happen, why etc. Suppose they might come back it.

Can't agree on Dhawan, as mentioned upthread, 'scenery chewing'. I hate it in any kind of drama when the 'mad' supervillain goes into one of those manic rants.
 
When there’s that much shit going on, though, the scenery really has to be fucking gnawed on big time just to show up against the background nonsense
