People whose social media profile pic is the 2nd Doctor are always surprisingly right-wing.

Tell me your most unhinged Doctor Who opinion. I mean, if you’re a fan, they’re likely all unhinged anyway.

I hope it’s The Doctor explaining why Remembrance Of The Daleks is rubbish.

Steven Moffat is a perfectly nice man and not Satan incarnate.

Whenever Harry Sullivan isn’t on screen he’s having sex with a supporting character.

Bus drivers when you want to get on the bus but there's still someone getting off:

Fassbender as Magneto with hand out as if to say halt!

Colin Baker as Doctor Who with hand out as if to say halt!

Kevin Costner as Pa Kent with hand out as if to say halt!

Cumberbatch as Sherlock with hand out as if to say halt!

The Doctor should be constantly regenerating, scene from scene, line from line.

Anything that starts with “this is not unhinged” is always going to be insane.

I’m increasingly of the opinion that the mutant metaphor only works for mutants.

Dad used to moan about how I hadn't grown out of Doctor Who. I now get paid to write about it, so when I visit him I wear Dalek socks.

The Unicorn and The Wasp was as good a murder mystery as Terror Of The Vervoids.

People are always rightly pointing out that Warhammer contributes more to the British economy than the fishing industry, but the problem is that there just aren't very many folk songs about Warhammer

“We’re vibe casting.”

John immediately kicks tech bro very hard in the bollocks.

All I know is that if I was writing Hellblazer I would absolutely do a story where John had to deal with the consequences of a bunch of tech bros using AI to try and do magical rituals.

You only have to watch a few episodes of the original Star Trek series to quickly understand that the whole “it’s a utopia” idea came a lot later.

The "core premise of the franchise" is Gene Roddenberry realising you can do alien worlds on the cheap by reusing old sets and costumes and saying "everyone on this planet thinks they're a Chicago mobster."

Anon Opin @anonopin.bsky.social · 2d

Every Star Trek series gets progressively worse because they keep forgetting the core premise of the franchise. It's supposed to be a utopian future based around science and exploration, not some gritty action thriller.

I mean he’s absolutely dooming himself but turning up to a funeral with 3 top buttons undone on his shirt is a real energy.
