Re: “Doom’s Day”

Coming soon – Doom’s Day | Doctor Who

This special multi-platform story will celebrate Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary by introducing a brand-new character on a 24-hour pursuit of the Doctor.

OK, so there I was thinking “I don’t really understand what this is and it’s probably for kids and therefore it probably isn’t for me”, then I saw that FruitCake Extraordinaire Graham Linehan has taken against it because the actor is someone he disapproves of.



So now I’m thinking “what the fuck is a Vichy Feminist”, and “how do I consume this content to annoy WingNuts like Linehan”?

 

[Santino]

I don't want to read a bunch of fucking comics.

 

[danny la rouge]

So “Vichy Feminist” appears to be a coinage of Linehan’s. It’s so he can imply people he doesn’t like are Nazi collaborators. The sad fuck.

Anyway, we need this thread because Who stuff will be happening this year. So that’s good.

What stuff?

 

[danny la rouge]

What stuff?

Well primarily the 3 Tennant/Donna Noble special episodes in November.

And then leading up to that, things like whatever this Doom’s Day is.

Plus Gatwa’s début episode in the “Festive Season”.

From the trailer it looks like Gatwa will feature in the specials with Tennant. I'm pretty sure I saw him in the trailer in that place in the Doctor's subconscious where all the Big Finish lads hang out.

Yes, he says “what the Hell is going on” or something. I suspect that’s his regeneration appearance and pretty much all he says. I meant the first episode with him being the Doctor throughout.

Maybe or he could be a constant presence trying to get free or something.

I hope so. I’m hoping the Tennant extra regeneration is some kind of glitch, or something.

 

[danny la rouge]

Maybe Tennant isn’t “really” the Doctor, which is why Donna doesn’t die when she meets him?

I think that she has to avoid anything that will trigger memories of all the fun she had or it will be enough that she'll become part Time Lord and her brain will burn out. If there is some sort of consistency then a slightly older looking David Tennant would be enough to trigger it. Perhaps 10 is back because the Doctor figured away to use something to repress the metacrisis maybe an application of whatever bollocks machine the Master had last time. The Doctor decides to leave sleeping dogs lie but 10 breaks out because guilt.

popular kind of term amongst trans hating people. See also 'handmaids'

I thought it sounded like a feminist who liked to spend a lot of time at the spa.

Like “champagne socialist” but with cucumber slices on the eyelids .

Didn't he say at the end of his regeneration that he wasn't ready to go?

Anyway, stoked for this because hopefully it will be on a platform we can access. Haven't seen the show for several years, which is a first since watching for nearly 50 years!

Also, after Sex Education, am really sure Ncuti Gatwa is a great choice for the role.

 

[danny la rouge]

I was aware of the Handmaid thing, though it seems to be applied inconsistently. I’ve seen pictures of Women Who Won’t Wheesht dressing up as Handmaids. I don’t really understand what their point is, except that they’re upset.

My websearch only found Linehan using the Vichy Feminist term, and an entry on Mumsnet saying Linehan uses it.

Anyway, that’s quite enough of this sidebar.

I scanned that as “Tennents Extra Regurgitation”.
Which I’m sure is way more common than the correct reading.

danny la rouge why have you put those shit icon things in the thread title, can I ask you to edit them out?

I don't want that shit showing up in my watched thread list.

He's accused trans people of being Nazis so it makes sense in his own warped logic.

I’ve put them in a) because I like them, b) because Ncuti used them in a social media post, c) because they signify the two hearts of the Doctor and the blue box (Tardis), and the revived DW logo, d) to make it easier to find the thread (something that I like, being mildly dyslexic), e) because I’m a visual person.

Is it not possible to turn off emojis yourself?

I will give consideration to your request.

No problem, I'll put the thread on ignore.

Looking cool as fuck, and it's going to give a stomach ulcer to the right people... What's not to like?

The early publicity pics were fine, but these are just stellar.

Am sure some will miss bowties, fez and so on. This gear is completely fab, though.

 

[danny la rouge]

I can’t wait.

 

[ginger_syn]

nice little trailer before eurovison for the 60th.

 

[Santino]

Catherine Tate did the UK Eurovision scores and slipped in a cheeky 'allons-y'.
