    That sounds okay. Think we can get that many?

    Ooh, good choice. That's a six-parter, so we'll need three hours.

    What time zone are you in? I'm GMT -7. I could easily do today or
    tomorrow.

    Moutain Time Zone?

    pick something. I'm hoping a few more people will join, but two's a
    great start.


    Any other takres?

    Doesn't look like it. Let's just pick a time.

    Do you want to do it today? If so, we'd better start soon. I say we aim
    for tomorrow, Monday, at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time.


    5:30 PDT p.m.

    That's a tough call. It's probably Four overall, but I also like Five
    quite a bit.

    From the new era, I liked all the Doctors in different ways (though Ten
    got very whiny), until the show itself started collapsing. I dropped out >partway through the Capaldi years -- Capaldi was good, but the show had
    lost direction.

    How about you?

    I've only heard of that indirectly, so it's easy to ignore. :)

    This show wasn't originally supposed to be about how superduperspecial
    and important the Doctor is. He's a madman in a blue box. In earlier >iterations, it was clear that the Doctor was just some guy -- a Time
    Lord, but not a very highly placed one, just some guy who stole a TARDIS
    and ran off to see the universe. He has made a name for himself in some >corners through his actions, but he's not the freakin' Chosen One.

    The scariest take on the Time Lords remains The War Games. I was also
    okay with the reboot's take that there'd been a Time War and Gallifrey
    and Skaros were both gone. That was killer, actually. It respected the
    old show while also providing a fresh direction for the new one.

    Now... I'm not sure what's going on now. I guess the Doctor is the key
    to the universe or something. I don't want to watch that mess.


    RTD 1 and Moffat did keep that until The Doctor's Wife.

    Is that when you figure it went off the rails? I didn't like that
    episode -- it was much more "Look at me, I'm Neil Gaiman" than it was
    Doctor Who. I thought the show stayed decent longer, though.

    "The Robots of Sherwood" was when I stopped. I didn't really decide to
    stop. I just didn't want to watch any more of that.

    If I had to pick a single point where it got bad, it would probably be >turning the Master into a woman. MISI would have been a fine new
    villain, but instead they did that, being progressive at the expense of
    the story and the world.

    He turned back into a dude, but it shouldn't have happened in the first >place. They gave us way too many episodes which we had to ignore in
    order to keep watching. Eventually, there were too many to ignore.


    The Corsair was a rel turing points for the wokes.
