2 fannish things
We got a trailer and a date for Jodie's last episode:
I am excited for Dhawan. I think he single-handedly has saved the era for me, just through being so amazing. I am hoping that Ace & Tegan will be well-served, but mostly I'm just praying that Chibnall doesn't break anything else before he leaves.
If anyone happens to love Thirteen and Chibnall - I'm happy, they need some love. They just singularly failed to grab me. (I loved writing Thirteen, but that's different.)
But, in more exciting news!!!
It feels like a million years since Good Omens aired... as with most things pre-covid. But goodness, a single poster is poking at emotions that have merely laid dormant, waiting for their moment. Their wings form a heart! The background is nicely grey. The number 2 has both a halo AND a tail. *flail*
I also look forward to spending 9 months speculating on what the blue feather means.

It's weird, because he CAN write. He just... didn't. Well, not for most of it.
I think Jodie got a bit of a confusing character to play but she did her best!
It's shame, and all the props to her.

I've liked none of the creative heads of the new show; early on, as I recall, I said to you that whatever RTD has done; no matter how good, wherever there has been another version his, by far, has been the inferior.
He is, without doubt, a creative genius; just one that I would rather stayed away from things I love, even ones he created.
There's a bitter irony in that I feel that way about everything Whedon has done now as well.
Having watched An Adventure in Space and Time (and reactions to it as well) a few dozen times I wish we'd had a modern Verity Lambert in charge so badly it hurts.

Almost anything would have been better than what she got, but a female team would have been ideal. (sighs for what could have been)

Well Chibnall has challenged that! (I shouldn't jest, it's very sad.)

It's awful when that happens. I have basically decided that Chibnll's era is all AU. You could go back & say that everything post the Classic era is as AU as the Cushing movies.

Ugh, yeah. I like to credit his team now.

ONE DAY SURELY. There must be a woman in this country capable of doing the job.

Amy & Rory.
Matt Smith.
River Song.
Blink.
Michelle Williams.
Sparrow & Nightingale (even if it is a bit ITV)
Bill Potts.
Clara, who it took me forever to forgive (in very similar a fashion to the way I came to forgive Kennedy for replacing Tara),for something that was not the characters fault she replaced two characters who were as beloved to me as ever Sarah-Jane Smith, Zoe Heriot & Ace were.
Peter Capaldi, who proved me very wrong.
Vastra & Jenny.
Jodie Whittaker first words as The Doctor; who became The Doctor faster than any Doctor I have ever witnessed; not only via that brilliant, "Brilliant!", but via that fall, with that music, and the way she inhabited a role so completely within seconds of her first words on the train.
Yaz.
Yaz and The Doctor.
Ryan and his Nan.
Grace and Graham (kudos to the actors for creating a character I loved and mourned and missed all within less than an hour; and for creating, for the first time (rather like Peter Capaldi) a character I liked.
School Reunion.
Captain Jack Harkness.
Maisie Williams.
The Woman Who Lived.
There are others, but these are those that, almost without thinking, and without appreciating how long a list it would be, truly stand out.
Oh, and that glorious thirteen episode story that was Season Five of the new show.
And... in case you thought I'd forgotten.
The one who stole the show in Season Five...
Wee! Amelia Pond.

Thought I'd put them in, but apparently not.
Michael Obiora & Louis Mahoney, who between them in so few words and even fewer scenes created so wonderful a character as I have ever experienced.
Billy Shipton.

Now I'm getting VERY nostalgic....

Sometimes I wonder what my brain is at.
Had just watched a large chunk of two movies with Michelle Williams in them; not much of an excuse, but it is true.
Goes away to hide in an embarrassed corner...
