For the first time in 83 years, the voice of America fell silent this weekend. For more than eight decades, that voice had (not always consistently) championed democratic values, challenged tyrants and bullies. This weekend, Donald Trump silenced it. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

X is now one of the core platform for research, with regards to terrorism and violent extremism. X faciliates TVE content and activity, in as much as Telegram. I honestly feel less trepidation logging into Gab or Truthsocial or the chans for research than than I do X, due to how vile the content is.

Following up: I'm about halfway through S3 of the Archive 81 podcast. Static Man has just been introduced and I had forgotten how awesome that character is. I am confident this season can stand on its own. If you watched the Netflix show you will recognize a few names but it's not essential.

The idea that Sutekh has been hanging onto the TARDIS since Pyramids of Mars (incidentally, the story that got me truly hooked on Doctor Who) is just laughable. The literal presentation of this god as a big black dog did not help.

000

Felicity K @felicityk.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

The return of Sutekh was a great idea. The execution, not so much. After building up the idea that the Universe has been breached, letting entities like the Toymaker and the Maestro in, the obvious choice is for Sutekh to be the culmination.

The mundane resolution to the mystery of Ruby's parentage was not the biggest disappointment for me. It felt emotionally satisfying enough that I was willing to go with it.

The two-part finale replicated the feelings I have often experienced with Russell T. Davies' season enders. Part one is a near masterpiece and part two a major letdown on many fronts.

The episode that hit the hardest for me was 73 Yards. Millie Gibson conveys the loneliness and loss incredibly well, and it blew my mind to learn this is the episode she filmed first. And the political situation is chilling, all the more so in retrospect.

Felicity K @felicityk.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

Second, I am well aware I am no longer the demographic Doctor Who is aiming at, and haven't been for quite a while. So I try to embrace the overall feeling and not dwell on things I find cringey, such as singing goblins or space babies.

First, the chemistry between Ncuti and Millie Gibson is outstanding. This for me was the highlight of the season. It will be interesting to see how their relationship changes after a break from traveling together.

BTW if horror is not your genre, believe me, it wasn't mine either until a few years ago. I like suspense and dread, not blood and gore. Two horror movies I do like: The Wicker Man (Director's Cut) and Burnt Offerings.
