I'm not sure why I've suddenly realised this having not seen the film for about 5 years, I'm also not sure it counts as subtle given the subject matter of the film, but during Bruce Almighty while he has God's powers, he commits all of the 7 cardinal sins.

It's been a long time since I've seen that. What does he do that would qualify as gluttony, sloth, or wrath?

For Interstellar: Since it just came out, I'm gonna spoiler this, even though it doesn't really spoil anything: Interstellar very much channels 2001. The design of many of the ships, much of the plot, and the latter half is very Kubrickesque One thing that cracked me up in the theatre (this one does spoil), Toward the end, when Cooper is on the O'Neil cylinder, one of the people mentions that they found the robot in the orbit of Saturn, and then shows said robot looking like the 2001 obelesks

TV example, from Doctor Who's season finale. It's right at the episode's opening, so it's not really a spoiler. The episode opens with the Doctor's current companion, Clara Oswald, trying to argue a Cyberman into sparing her. She resorts to trying to convince it that she's mroe useful alive than dead, she tries to drop the biggest bombshell possible: Clara never existed, she's been the Doctor this whole time! Cut to the opening credits... which credit Jenna Coleman over Peter Capaldi.

Man between that and Missy Moffat is really trying to prime the audience into accepting the idea of a Female Doctor in upcoming seasons isn't he? I mean I'm 100% down with that but it's like "just shut the gently caress up and do it and stop trying to subtly normalize it."

He has to subtly normalize because there are a bunch of nerds who are resistant to the idea of a Doctor who's a woman. And its not like it'll be relevant for a year or two anyway, unless Capaldi plans on cutting out quickly like Eccleston.

And there exists zero reason why The Doctor can't be a woman or any other race for that matter. Well, maybe the limiting factor that he only regenerates under duress and cannot focus on the change. Didn't the Time Lords also force his regenerations to be random as punishment? I know the canon is pliable but what rules are still in play?

The expression on this guys face during this scene is so Brucedamned perfect  Another one that took me way too long to catch is when he is in the restaurant after gaining his powers and he parts the tomato soup. Moses parted the red sea and the tomato soup is red. I have no idea why I didn't get that on first viewing.

River Song gave up all their regenerations to save The Doctor's life. Basically, the arbitrary limit of 12 regenerations is irrelevant now because he's (often) last of the time lords so who's going to stop him?

Everyone knew the arbitrary limitation of 12 or so regenerations was bullshit when he went into his 11th incarnation more popular than ever. It didn't matter how they did it, everyone knew they were going to work around that little bit of canon from like 1968 or 1983 or when the gently caress ever.

He also straight up says in this new season he has no idea if there is a limit on this new set of regenerations or not or if he'll just keep on going forever (barring the odd 20 year gap in profitability to the BBC).

They knew it during the old series when the Master was just outright given a new set of regenerations by the Time Lords. It was always a resource, not a biological limit.

They won't, this is the tumblr fanbase we're talking about. At least half of them are into girls, the other half completely support gay rights, you put a hot enough female doctor into the mix and BBC would be converting the remaining heteros quicker than you could even say Cyberman
