Favourites are probably the Sandler and Last Place rankings, he does gigantic rankings very well, least favourite are probably the Nolan and Cameron rankings, both of them have pretty short filmographies compared to other directors, and they've both been done to death, I agree with the lower ranked movies on both, but from there they both just turn into the most boring rankings imaginable, so they just weren't really that interesting to me.

I've just about had it with This fanbase, whether it's the conformity gate theorists or the Andies that think the show should've ended after Season 1. Thanks to those silly secret finale theories the fine enough finale is now a punchline of being "so bad the fans thought it was fake" Nothing even matters anymore, even when misinformation is disproven, the lies are what stick, which was the case with both the secret finale stuff and the final season allegedly being written by ChatGPT. And the fact that I even have to defend Season 5 just because of how bad the fans are at critiquing it really sucks. And the S1 Andies have been so god damn annoying about it all because they can't handle the fact that the show simply changed genre, and would rather miss out on all the cool stuff we got after, especially in season 4. For all the things that problems I had with the final season, nothing annoys me quite as much as the credibility it gives to the S1 Andies. And I'm not gonna act like the fans have ruined the show for me because even the best of shows have shitty fanbases (How the fuck did Breaking Bad fans hate Skyler more than Walt) but it still sucks.

At the very least though, I honestly have full respect for people that think season 2 should've been the ending, I think that's perfectly fair, even if I don't agree.

(NOT A CONFORMITY GATE/SECRET FINALE POST) In this alternate timeline, Episode 8 ends with Eleven's sacrifice and episode 9 is the epilogue, this way the final episode can fully end things on a positive and isn't dragged down by the shitty final battle

The hiatus isn't too surprising since the ratings for Ncuti Gatwa's era of Doctor Who were reportedly the lowest in the show's history, even lower than McCoy's, which were so low that the show got cancelled.

According to the List of Doctor Who Episodes wiki page, McCoy's final season had an average of 4.15 Million Viewers, the lowest up until that point, and remained so until Gatwa's first series, which was 3.97, the first to ever drop below 4 Million. There was an even bigger drop off in his second series, going all the way down to 3.23 Million.

However, with the fact that the episodes got released earlier in the day before they aired live, which as far as I remember wasn't the case before. Are the ratings only taking people who watch it live into account or is the viewership just that bad now?

In the scene where Eleven sacrifices herself, Mike escapes the grasp of the military, runs towards her and dies with her. This way, regardless of whether they're dead or not, they at least get to be together, and in the epilogue, Will is the one that comes up with the possibility of them being alive.

I'm pretty sure the finale was originally intended to be 3 hours, and I almost wonder if Mike dying had been the original plan, but they had to cut it because the shorter runtime meant they didn't have time to have a scene of the Wheelers grieving his death.

Really the only downside to this is that he wouldn't be able to serve his role as the storyteller in the epilogue, but I think they could've had either Will, Nancy or Holly write the end of his story for him.
