It's Doctor Who canon. None of it counts, except when it does, and then only briefly.

Fair Bear Maiden posted:Eh, I think it worked fine on screen at normal speed. Also, consider that many of the people who write Doctor Who may not be aware of Churchill's role in atrocities, or (in the worst case) may actually think that his being a good war leader makes up for them.

Like, "Winston Churchill was bad" is a fringe view in the UK generally, even though it's completely accurate. We're taught in primary school that he saved the country. I guess the analogous thing would be how controversial it can be in the USA to point out that the founding fathers owned slaves? But that's more well-known in the US generally, simply because slavery is widely taught at high school level in the USA, while the brutality Britain enacted on the Indian subcontinent is only taught in tertiary education in the UK.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Man, I’d also forgotten how mean-spirited it was for the show to constantly poo poo on Mickey. It's weird that like, the show's treatment of Mickey is, "he's an idiot, a bad boyfriend, he sucks and is stupid and irrelevant, and then also several seasons later Martha marries him". Huge whiplash between two points, neither of which are particularly compelling.

All the evidence seems to point to him having made it up for clout. Which is really funny, and a little sad. I mean, he could be vindicated yet! But it doesn't look likely.

The Capaldi run is my favourite of the revival, I think. I actually like S3 least, in part because I think the 12/Clara dynamic is super compelling and absolutely sizzles, this best friends plus master-pupil dynamic where the pupil is eager (and perhaps ready) to become the master. It's so much better than the lazy "his companion is in love with him but it can Never Be" subtext that a lot of the other revival companions derive their character drama from. Bill got a raw deal and very little characterisation in comparison. She wasn't in that aforementioned group, it was cool that she was gay, but less cool that they just couldn't fix on a dynamic between her and the Doctor that was coherent between episodes.

Yeah, I think the fact that their relationship is so close is something that's built up over multiple seasons with Clara. She's the only revival companion who becomes the Doctor's peer, rather than his assistant/love interest/kidnap-prone human pal, and that development is pretty well-earned by years of adventures. Also makes her ending perfect - she gets to be a version of the Doctor herself, rather than getting shuffled off into retirement like so many before her.

I think the abortion metaphor reading is totally accidental and not that intuitive. It's mostly just that it's a decision about whether to let something be born or not and there's a big button that says ABORT, and from there no matter how shaky or circumstantial the rest of the reading is, you have to at least acknowledge the subtext. I liked Kill the Moon though. Courtney was cool.

My name happens to be Terror of the Zygons, so this will be easy.

Yeah, it feels like she never gets to have the big righteous indignation, oncoming storm speech that, even if it was tired sometimes, all the other modern Doctors at least got a version of. It feels like they're toning down the Doctor's volatility and mercurial nature a bit and the fact that they're doing this for the first female Doctor can't help but feel moderately sexist, to me.
