Hello!

Just finished Endymion and am about 80 pages into Rise. Honestly, these books feel like they’re the author acknowledging how convoluted the stories of the first two got, and is using them to clarify.

I think this, because that was me lol.

It’s like Dan saw people say “That was a masterpiece!! It was so epic!! But what the hell did I just read???”, and then wrote two more books to iron out the confusing parts of the first two.

Anyone else kinda get that vibe?

Hey all!!

Just wondering, is there an in-universe reason that UNIT wasn’t involved in the Extremis/Pyramid/Lie of the Land trilogy story in Series 10? Seems like the kind of thing they would have and should have been involved in!

Hey all! I’ve always wondered: is the Terry Silver character meant to be a parody/making fun of Steven Seagal? He’s a rich martial arts loon with a deep black slicked back ponytail. I think it’s hilarious if the character was created specifically to make fun of Seagal.

I’m loving the series so far, but my one….i don’t know if I’d call it a gripe per se, but a minor annoyance I have is the world building…or lack thereof. I think Will does just enough to get us to really care about the characters and the story, but the setting is often just there is justification for the characters’ continuing cultivation (which is fine! I’m just not used to the genre).

Simply having a map would be a good start, but seriously, HOW BIG IS THIS PLANET??? Every time it seems they reach a new huge capital, like the Black Flame Empire, they find an even bigger one in Moongrave that stretches off in all directions out of sight. Where the heck are all these cities fitting???

The Girl Who Died/The Woman Who Lived. Idk there’s just something off about these episodes that I can’t put my finger on. It’s just strange. Anybody else experience the same thing?

Any dojo owners here who have locked in membership agreements for their students? Why or why not?

For context, on one hand, I feel if your instructors are good enough at inspiring people to stay for long periods of time, you shouldn’t need them, but on the other hand, I know how….fickle people can be in todays day and age. So I kinda see both sides.

(Mods, if this is the wrong place for this post, I apologize, and if you could please direct me where this post would be more appropriate, I appreciate it.)

OH COME ON. See? See???? Oh yeah >!Ozriel!< looks exactly like Eithan and talks and acts exactly like him. Nope, you guys kept trying to put me off the scent on my last post but I’m not buying it.

Ethan is >!Ozriel!< and I’m more sure of it now than ever

That the Doctor would just up and abandon them. It feels super out of character, and happens just to force drama.

>!Ozriel!<. That’s my working theory anyway.

Hey all. About 50 pages in to Skysworn right now, and the renewed focus on Ozriel’s disappearance, immediately cut to a focus on Eithan’s abilities to apparently get into places that no true Underlord should be able to reach implies a level of power FAR exceeding his current stated rank. Add that to the fact that >!The Arelius are apparently descendants of Ozriel.!<

It’s the perfect place to hide.

What are everyone’s opinions? On rewatch, it’s not really as epic as I remember. I feel like it’s…fine, but I see a lot of missed opportunity with it. There are a lot of moments that feel like they went to tumblr and picked out the most popular Doctor Who memes and made scenes out of them.

…did they not foreshadow John Hurt’s War Doctor more? There are SEVERAL instances where the Doctor talks about regeneration as if he has more faces available, and he talks about regeneration with the Cyberiad, and there’s no mention of the extra face. It feels like it comes out of nowhere.

I mean I guess it all gets wrapped up anyway in the Name/Day/Time of the Doctor trilogy (which I kinda consider all one thing anyway)

I feel like the 15th Doctor having a consistent outfit would have gone a long way with cementing his identity. I think keeping the long orange leather trench coat would have helped more than people realize. The Doctor’s look plays a lot more into conveying their character than I think people realize. I think the constant switching outfits definitely hurt more than it helped.

What do you guys think?

Hey all! Do you ever think we’ll see the Weeping Angels’ true form? Like the form they have when they aren’t frozen in rock? I think it would be a foolish decision, but then again I also thought showing the Midnight entity would be stupid, and that happened, so do you think they’d ever get so creatively stumped with the angels that they’d show their true form?

Super random post here, but last night, I had a dream that during Tron: Ares, Julian Dillinger was feeling down and frustrated about himself, so as a cope, he calls Sam Flynn to gloat and make himself feel better, but Sam has a special program, that if any of the Dillingers call him, his phone automatically answers with a voicemail message of Sam acting like Kevin Flynn’s “zen” personality, just to troll the Dillingers.

Man, I wish Ares made money. We are never getting Tron 4 and a return of the Legacy aesthetic are we?

Hey all, on a Series 6 rewatch, and I’m liking it a lot more than I used to. I know it doesn’t have a great reputation in the community, at least from what I remember in discussions past. Why is that? It seems great so far!

Hey all! First time reader. Just finished book 3. The bloopers always crack me up at the end! I don’t know if Will lurks on this subreddit, but bravo sir! They make me laugh out loud every time!

“Blood pits?”

“Blood pits.”

LOL

Hey all!!

I’ve always found series 7 split to be pretty jarring narratively and aesthetically. New companion halfway through? new opening titles? New Tardis interior? New outfit for the Doctor? Just feels like all the changes for a new season or new Doctor, and putting it halfway through a series just feels strange. Any idea why they did this?

The Doctor takes Vincent to the museum…damn, it just WRECKS me every time.

Hey all! On volume 3, and man, this series is REALLY starting to click with me in this volume! I feel like Will is really starting to clear up his power system, and flesh out his characters more, and I’m HOOKED.

I’m also very unsure of Eithan. He’s giving me some serious Satoru Gojo vibes for those of you who are JJK fans. He’s flippant, laid back, but has moments where when he locks in, bad things happen to those who cross him. It’s almost…sinister? I’m excited to see where he goes.

Hey all! Just wanted to see if you guys also felt the transition from the RTD to Moffat eras of the show to be very…jarring? I feel like Moffat to Chibnall wasn’t nearly as jarring of a tonal and visual shift, but the jump from season 4/specials to season 5, from the new intro and logo, to very different cinematography, almost feels like a different show.

What do you guys think?
