Marginalia as it currently stands (1/9)

@NotAgnor @daveisageneric Oh hello, let me introduce myself… I liked a lot of the episodes but disliked 90% of RTD’s and particularly didn’t like how he interpreted the Doctor. But even I know the gap between first era and second era is a colossal drop

[Stompy Makepeace @commonswings]

@TrilbeeReviews I’ve never considered that reading of it until now, but that’s actually a really lovely point

[Stompy Makepeace @commonswings]

@DrMatthewSweet Huge huge fan. I got so cross at Dan Simmons’ Drood for essentially being a character assassination of Collins. He’s such a rich and clever and funny writer, and I always enjoy rereading him

[Stompy Makepeace @commonswings]

@WhoMinusContext It’s incredibly passive aggressive

@ericitaIiano Spielberg, without a moment’s hesitation

@EddJones259480 @TrilbeeReviews The show needs to have non fan producers. Much as it’s been fun to have nods to continuity it’s scuppered the show in the long term and we need to return to not knowing or caring about the show’s history. Respectfully that’s what Big Finish can and should do

@TrilbeeReviews @MMStudios512 A limitation becomes a creative way of working around a problem and would push the production team and performers better. Just because you can approximate something doesn’t mean you should if you can use that budget better elsewhere

[Stompy Makepeace @commonswings]

@TrilbeeReviews @MMStudios512 I think it’s not so much smaller budget the show needs, as limitations. If there are limitations you think creatively how to work around them. The Gatwa era suffered enormously from a budget that could do everything hugely but frequently for no reason. It meant nothing

@WhovianLife For me i think the show needs someone who isn’t a huge fan, just someone who’s a good show runner with great dramatic instincts. It will steer things away from overdoing the continuity and hopefully get a new audience in and I think those are the important things right now

@theistinthought There’s a bus stop across the road from the supermarket. You time your trip so it arrives leaving you half an hour to shop and you’re finished in time for the one going home. Dead easy. Never needed a car and never will do

@Strandjunker My late father in law was fond of Trump and I think it was the sense of absolute zero doubt and full self belief that he admired. A man unbothered by self reflection or anxiety or sense of how history will look at him. Just thinks he is the greatest ever. Insane to me, mind you

Hi @uklabour so this happened and do you know what happened next? The money owed was paid. Just like that!

How about making him pay the hundreds of millions of pounds in UK corporation taxes he’s been avoiding through intricate corporate structures?!

@tomjc09 Well admittedly he lived with us when I was about ten, but yeah. A mad story and a mad part of my life. Very likeable and charismatic though, which Starmer i don’t think could ever be

@poliicyoftruth Our neighbours have a cat called Maisie they don’t really pay much attention to, but nothing jollies me and my wife more than stopping and playing with her through the window while she gets excited and giddy when she’s there. I almost met her once properly but she got shy

The bottom line is that if you can't write without AI now, you couldn't write before.

@archivetvmus71 @woodg31 Is this the remake of The Stranger Left No Card?

[Rory Blank @BoneJail]

@tlakomy If someone stuck their dick in your pocket and pissed into your pants would that be art then?

[Stompy Makepeace @commonswings]

@tlakomy Ha ha this is not a definition of anything close to art, you simp
