Many fine people, no doubt.

As the saying goes, if the punishment is a fine, it's legal if you're rich.

I felt that thread needed better closure, myself, but the interviews I'd seen suggest that they always considered that thread closed as soon as they finished with Season 2 (and, given that Season 3 was filmed right on its heels, I see no reason to argue otherwise). Some threads, I guess, are...

I could be wrong, but I don't think most people would agree with you (especially in regard to Discovery). But I was intending to reference the shows' initial seaons (plural) rather than strictly the FIRST season of each show. Even if we agree that season two was worse than season one, both...

It's not the theology I ascribe to, to be sure, but that was hardly the point I was making in bringing it up.

It's a trade off. We get FAR fewer episodes these days then we used to, but the episodes we DO get tend to be of much higher quality (Discovery and Picard's first seasons notwithstanding).

Pilgrimages are rather a different thing, though. Usually, a pilgrimage is (explicitly) about letting the place have an impact on the believer, whereas we're more talking about the influence believers might have on specific places.

And the way these streaming seasons have been leaking out, it's pretty darn close to taking seven years just to GET five seasons (and not just for this show)....

I should note that going to a physical location to "pray over it" is very much a thing, even besides the bit in wonko's post above.

This seems a hoax. If nothing else, the redirect described would be redirecting a hypothetical "netflitwitter.com" to "netflix.com" rather than the other way around.

Does anyone have access to a post from four years ago where this doom and gloom was being spread? Just so we can prove part of it wrong? I certainly don't think we should be taking victory for granted, but this isn't helpful at all.

Generally speaking, it's been when they bring in folks with deep ties to the franchise that the stories have taken a nose-dive, not the other way around. I'm willing to wait and see.

Not having actually seen this series yet (NOBODY HAS), I'm willing to see how this plays out. I'm not saying the Star Wars saga is without contradictions, but it's WAY too early to be complaining about this.

Learned at Gallifrey One a few weeks ago that, recognizing that Tom Baker is not going to be around for forever, but because he's come to love doing the recording sessions (which he can do from his own home), Big Finish has already recorded enough 4th Doctor audio material to keep releasing them...
