▲ 48 r/Frasier

Finally gotten around to watching the reboot

A few thoughts which have probably all been posted a million times before so apologies:

It’s nearly a good show isn’t it? KG is obviously funny and very good. The premise makes sense, him coming home to Boston to teach is a very Frasier thing. However:
David is awful, ruins the show.
Freddy doesn’t feel like Frasier’s son at all, I quite like him not following Frasier but he just seems so off.
Alan is also awful. Would have been better if they hadn’t make him a Niles substitute.

Hardwired…To Self Destruct is so close to being top tier

Obviously has already been done to death, but listening to it this morning for the first time in a while, the first 6 songs are obviously all awesome, confusion is miles better than I remember, and then it gets very dull…until Spit Out The Bone.

If they’d just released it as single, 8 track album, like the old days, where would it stand in their discography?

For the record, even with those 4 boring songs (manunkind, here comes revenge, am I savage and murder one (the worst song they’ve done), I still prefer it as a whole over 72 seasons.

16/Rose - was there a plan?

Appreciate this has probably been done to death, but do you think RTD had a plan for what happened to 15, and why he seemed to regenerate into Rose?

Rewatching The Timeless Child

Recently rewatched the timeless child - id given up on 13 by the time it originally aired and had never really given it a proper look.

As a story, I don’t mind it tbh; however the execution of it is horrible. There is simply far too much happening during the episode to give it space to breathe (the master, the cybermen, the cybermans back story, the bazillion companions).

Surely it would have worked much better as a focussed episode (like heaven sent) where the doctor finds the truth on her own etc.
