Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Doctor Who going to Disney. I haven't even watched it. Maybe it's ok, but classic British shows never really survive getting Americanised. I lost interest about halfway through the Jodie Whittaker era - specifically The Timeless Child nonsense.
this is eighth doctor erasure /s
That really wasn't very good even though Paul McGann was an excellent Doctor. Eric Roberts as the master, though...
The Eighth Doctor novels were a wild ride though. Fantastic stories. They really put him through the wringer. I hear his Big Finish stories are pretty good as well.
It sucks but it wasn’t Americanized, Chris Chibnall (English) just ran it into the ground
Didn't they bring back Russell T Davis for that series?
He came back after the Jodie Whitaker bit, for the current doctor, but I haven’t checked in.
Ncuti was a pretty weak doctor , even worst than jodie. the villians(rani, pantheon of discord) however seems to be the only good highlight to the show. ncuti seemed to be too much of a goody two-shoes type of person. the fact that regeneration is billie piper in the last moments of 15th doctors regeneration, is already problematic, i dont think she would be good as a DOCTOR.
Seriously? Ugh.
I lost it at the moon egg
Yeah, the cracks were starting to appear, so to speak, in the Capaldi era.
It isn't.
