Not sure I’ve ever even met anyone who’d care if Northern Ireland split off. Maybe some Rangers fans?

There were literally decades of violence and terrorism over that, so clearly someone cares.

That being said, But then I'm Welsh and live in England, I do not have a horse in this race. If the people in NI want to unify with Ireland and regain all their EU citizenship benefits as well as removing the whole "Northern Ireland border issue", then I wouldn't blame them at all.

He ended up on a planet where fantasies were so realistic they transcended reality and he wasn’t confined to the chair, so…

Maybe I should at least reserve my real name on it…

Nope, don’t care that much.

Oh, 100% agree. I was just answering the prompt "What do you think history textbooks will say 50 years from now?" in the most depressing way possible. I do not endorse Trump, Fascism or anything that will lead to a dystopian future.

I got fucking chills the first time I realised who he was. Then his total change of demeanour, then when he finally said his name. Ooh. 2007. What a time to be alive.

I really liked ’the Fam’. It was a nice change of dynamic from previous (usually) single companions. And different from the Amy and Rory relationship too - grandfather/grandson and Ryan not being romantically involved with Yaz just felt different.

Plus they were all good fun and bounced well off The Doctor in their different ways.

And Jodie Whitaker was a great Doctor too. While I won’t try and defend every idea in every episode, we needed the change of pace from a decade of Moffat and Segun Akinola’s music was also excellent.

Thirteen gave me what I wanted out of a Doctor when she left - the desire for just a bit more time with her.

My favourite Doctor is:

  1. Whoever is currently playing The Doctor

  2. Paul McGann (the film wasn't great but he was, and I wish we'd seen more of him than one mini episode and a quick cameo...)

Fugu. I’m far too much of a coward to try it normally.

More likely the D&D/fantasy version. Harry Potter called them “horcruxes”. Keep your soul in a box and whatever happens to your body, you can’t truly die.

But I didn’t know they were based on Jewish mythology, so thanks for that TIL!

How do we stop Iran killing their own citizens? I know, we kill them first! I are very smart!

So I thought The Creator was brilliant. I watched it in the cinema, thoroughly enjoyed it and was gobsmacked when I learned it's budget was only $79 million. It looks better than some films I've seen that cost three times that.

But apparently, while it may make that back, it's unlikely to even earn $100 million globally.

So the answer to the question of why Hollywood churns out the same shite over and over is that, currently, tragically, that is what the masses want to spend their money on.

And that makes me sad.
