  1. Chibnal is an idiot. If you want good New Who, watch seasons 2 and 3, with David Tennant, and seasons 4 and 5, with Matt Smith and Karen Gillan. I first saw Dr Who as a wee lad when Tom Baker was THE Doctor. After hearing how bad current Dr Who is and seeing the reboot was available on Amazon Prime streaming, I thought I'd work my way through the reboot seasons. I skipped half of the 1st season because the shaved head dude was just too different of a lead in from Baker's character that I'd remembered. The 2nd season brings David Tennant into the role. He simply nails it. I enjoyed most of the episodes with him as The Dr. Also his seasons do offer a good bit of actual Sci-fi storytelling (as opposed to earth-Fi lecturing). Matt Smith takes over as the Twelfth Dr. It took me all of his 2 seasons to get used to him. He just didn't quite get it right. However, this Dr's companion was Karen Gillan. She's Scottish and definitely not crrrap! Besides being very attractive, she plays the perfect counter to the Dr. She does a great job of offsetting my disinterest in Smith's Dr. We also meet Clara, who continues on into the next Dr's season. Most of these episodes are also the expected Dr. Who. However, Smith/Gillan dous 2nd season, and show runner Moffat's last, begin to run out of steam. The same old, tired villains reappear. Oh, another Cybermen show. Oh, another dalek show. The 13th Dr is Peter Capaldi. On the nose of it, he looks the part. His portrayal or how the character is written is also just a bit off. This season also brings in Chibnal as show runner, replacing Moffat. This is the 1st season the earth-fi lecturing became noticeable. It's not surprising since Chibnal is the champion of Female Dr Who. The previous season was running out of steam and Chibnal has no fresh ideas that don't involve earth-fi preaching and lecturing. He starts it off mildly enough. But, I think this 1st season of Capaldi's Dr will be the last season I bother with. Chibnal is to Dr Who what Rian Johnson AND Kathy Kennedy are to Star Wars.

  2. I'd like to see you review Fire Department Chronicles channel. It's some seriously good comedy based on real life Fire /EMS calls.

  5. If these producers, writers, etc want to know how you do a movie with a "strong" female lead, there are so many examples of how to successfully do it, but these idiots don't want to make successful films. They just want to make propaganda films. GI Jane was a good example of how to do a military woman fighting "the male establishment" and deal with a controversial issue without alienating a male audience. Plus, Demi wasn't using the movie role as a soapbox. She let the movie and her character speak for themselves. Don Cheadle summed up why they shouldn't cast Brie: "Don't touch me."

  6. Black is a racist term. They are "people of diversity". So, the people of Wakonda are the worst people of diversity ever for not helping the rest of the people in Africa climb out of their corruption and 3rd world living standards. Good to know; I hadn't watched this film. This is the first non sarcastic review I've seen from you. I think it's even more entertaining than your sarcastic vids because your voice and style are great for calling out BS.
