Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Anyway I’m now entering hour 26 of my long journey home from holiday, hence why I’m so cranky rn. Let’s end this thread with some nice photos of the cool animals I saw as a palate cleanser 000
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 19/09/2026No wonder they had to literally invent their only client. 100
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Basically, the marketing ghouls behind Tilly Norwood are trying to force it into a model of celebrity that died 30 years ago, after being killed by the same tech that allowed Norwood to exist in the first place. In itself thats plenty evidence of their massive, massive incompetence and idiocy. 100
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 19/09/20262. Movie stars as they exist today are basically influencers with a more lucrative day job, whose cultural cache is based on parasocial relationships. Obviously an AI can’t replicate that- Tilly Norwood might “act” in a film but it’ll never appear on Hot Ones. 100
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 19/09/2026So the obvious question Tilly Norwood begs is- if the technology (theoretically!!) exists to sculpt an avatar that perfectly matches your ideal vision for a character, why would you ever bother hiring an “actor” that has to look a particular way? 110
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 19/09/20261. Movie stars simply don’t exist like they used to thanks to the dissolution of the monoculture and hollywoods subsequent pivot to leaning on IP. You used to sell a film based on the lead actor, now you sell a film based on the lead character. Folks care more about Spiderman than Tom Holland yknow? 100
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Also, not to harp on, but as an appendix- an AI movie star is something that will never ever ever happen, for two reasons: 100
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Look, it’s understandable that journalists haven’t exposed themselves to that toxic garbage- god knows I wouldn’t want to- but nonetheless it is objectively true, regardless of your views on AI and its “art”, that reporting on Norwood is 100% disconnected from reality. 100
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 19/09/2026This thing has two credits- an absolutely excruciating “skit” that’s crucially *about* Norwood without actually featuring it, and a horrible AI song accredited to it which is a) the most substantial appearance it’s made outside of its “interviews” and b) NOT AN ACTING JOB 110
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 19/09/2026It’s not an actor!! It’s not an actor!! Not even because it’s a computer program, but because it literally hasn’t appeared in anything!! 100

Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 24/12/2025I made an effort this year to limit the amount of books I read by white guys to 50%, and in doing so discovered a much wider and wonderful array of stories than I would’ve otherwise. It was a deeply rewarding and worthwhile experience! 001

Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 08/08/2025And as Brits it’s our moral responsibility to exclude, shame and (if it comes to it) knock the teeth out of anyone enforcing this shit. No fucking excuses. This is actual genuine segregation in our country 100

Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025Thanks for the fun time babes. See you in the stars ❤️❤️ 000
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025But it won’t be the end. I guarantee there are kids out there now who will grow up to be actors and writers and crew members and producers because of this show. I cannot wait to see what they do. 100
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025If this is the end, at least the show can boast that it left us with one of its all-time best seasons, with nearly half the episodes! And so many stories are up there with the best of NuWho. 100
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025Crucially Gatwa was central to that. While you can often see the influence of past doctors on the current actor (Smith/Troughton, Tennant/Baker etc) Gatwa stands alone. Never before has the doctor felt so libidinous, so loving, so warm. I loved him. 100
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025Creatively the juiced budget and RTD’s push to do new things has led to some of the most inventive and daring moves Doctor Who has ever made, while still being oodles of fun. I would’ve gladly watched five more seasons. 100
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025FINAL THOUGHTS. This is definitely one of my favourite eras of Doctor Who. It’s never felt more like a show that can do anything, can take you anywhere. Every single episode delighted me somehow, even if I didn’t love all of it. 120
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025RANKINGS. 1. Lux 2. Boom 3. Wish/War 4. The Story & The Engine 5. The Interstellar Song Contest 6. Rogue 7. Dot & Bubble 8.

Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025And silly as it is, the idea of it becoming a burden, or being abandoned does make me a bit sad! Plus starting and ending with Gatwa feels right. But before I’m done! Rankings and some final thoughts. 100
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025This project has been a really fulfilling ritual for me. I know it’s mostly gushing first impressions, and no one cared except me, but it’s led me to a more critical engagement with this show I’ve loved & given me space to be a big nerd- even the alt text has improved my descriptive writing! 100
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025However, this is the end of this thread. I started it 18 months ago thinking it’d go much longer, but god knows when they’ll be a new episode, or if I’ll even be on Bluesky when it releases! So I think that’s it. 100
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025THE REALITY WAR. I really, really hope this isn’t the end. 100
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025THE REALITY WAR. It’s kind of a perfect image to end the show, should that be its fate. The tension between the absurd and the mundane is the driving engine of DW, and in its closing moments we’re presented with a perfect synthesis. 000
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025THE REALITY WAR. Gosh Davies is desperate, isn’t he? 000
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025THE REALITY WAR. The next Doctor should always feel like a scary choice, whether you cast an unknown actor, an older fella, a woman, whatever. This is certainly that. But Piper is such an incredible actor I’m already excited to see what happens next. 000
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025THE REALITY WAR. Bold of them to simply not tell anyone about the ending. It’s gotta be the first time anyone’s watched a regeneration not knowing who’s next since childhood, which was tremendously exciting. 000
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025THE REALITY WAR. Theres so much inside baseball stuff on proud display, like the seal of omega or project indigo. Without the classic series’ freedom to ignore its history the continuity has mounted up, alienating the not-we to an alarming extent. 000
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025THE REALITY WAR. There’s so much inside baseball stuff on proud display like the power-of-love snipe or the Doctor dual-wielding a gun & a frock. It’s gloriously fannish, adding layers of meaning without detracting from the experience for casual viewers. 000
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025THE REALITY WAR. Every single member of this cast has proven themselves admirably. Though I think there was more to be done with Belinda, Varuda Sethu crushed it, as did Gibson, Punjabi, Dobson, Redgrave, Langford, Madeley, Hauer-King, de Whalley, Whittaker, even the wee babbies! 000
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025THE REALITY WAR. Gutted that this is all we’ll get of Ncuti Gatwa. Simply put- he had far more to give. His Doctor was distinct and layered and deeply fun to watch and there’s so much we’ll never see- no Dalek story, no resolution to Rogue. It’s too soon. 000
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025THE REALITY WAR. Ncuti Gatwa served an acting powerhouse, a victory lap and his best performance yet, demonstrating a beautiful, layered and deeply fun to watch Doctor who will no doubt be a template for many more to come. I’ll miss him deeply. 010
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025THE REALITY WAR. Everything with Poppy and the Doctor’s quest to save her felt so fresh and new. This is a story that Doctor Who could never dream of attempting before now. Clearly the show has much more to give, and is broadening into exciting conceptual territory. Here’s hoping it continues! 000
Jaaaaaaaaake @dumbasnothing.bsky.social · 01/06/2025THE REALITY WAR. Doctor Who is desperately eating its own tail, clawing at shards & detritus of its history, cannibalising itself. This show is a fractal, closed system- a hall of mirrors. It’s trapped, those final moments especially locking it in stasis. 000
