I’ll take a personal day. Maybe I’ll watch, maybe I’ll just slob on the sofa, we’ll see…

Alright, Columbo, calm down.

Ok, legit sremoved from that, but I do approve of the way they showed their working.

Edit: do I have to write “snicker” like an American? Does some bot suffer from the Scunthorpe problem here?

What’s wrong with Neil’s beard?

Depends how bad at walking they are…

I might be in the minority here, but I think retconning hard earned, character defining/shaping/progression arcs is a bad thing.

No, I agree with you, I’d just never really thought it through with The Master/Missy. And we don’t know how many extra regenerations they were given in the Time War, so there’s plenty of room if we assume the great (and tragically underused) Derek Jacobi was “reset” to One, Missy could potentially be Thirteen, and then there’s plenty to play with in the middle.

I do at least think the genocide thing with the Doctor was handled well - because of some “you don’t really remember future events” shenanigans when meeting multiple versions of yourself, all of the Doctors from John Hurt to Matt Smith “remembered” making that decision, and it was compassion from that experience that led him to go back to be there when he did it, and finally realising he could have a second chance at it. It doesn’t undo anything Ecclestone or Tennant went through.

And while it was a good couple of Doctors, lifting that shadow means that Gatwa can be more cheerful and optimistic, but still with the dark side of having fought in the war and knowing he COULD have made that decision of he’d had to. It stops the Doctor just getting potentially grimmer and grimmer as more and more terrible things keep happening.

On the one hand, yes. And it does make a good tragedy.

On the other? We’ve seen the Master be turned into a cat person, exterminated by the Daleks, sucked into the Eye of Harmony and be dragged back into the Time Locked end days of the Time War (although I suppose that could be where he regenerates into Dhawan and kills all the Time Lords).

Don’t rule out Missy’s successor returning, is what I’m saying…

Edit: oh, also, since Missy has at least vague memories of meeting herself when she was Simm, she’s had a while to figure out a solution.

Are you saying Sacha Dhawan’s Master was an earlier incarnation than Missy? 😲

Show him the Titan-A. Lights mean you can at least see what you’re doing while at work…

And it was Torchwood, not UNIT.

Yeah, don’t trust your most critical passwords to a browser when you can instead use a dedicated bit of software designed for saving passwords securely and which will also work on your phone and any other browser you may care to use.

Two Doctor-light episodes in an eight ep season is definitely a choice.

Crushed three apples into juice FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!

Touché.

I’m sorry, you made some great points, but all I can take away from that is that your idea of heaven is becoming a Ninja Turtle…? 🤣

It would almost be funny if not for the whole “fate of American democracy” thing.

Sure, the Democrats are Doctor Evil and his minions. But the Republicans are literally Hitler and the nazis.

Vote accordingly.

Because they think they’re helping stand on other people’s necks, and that’s just fine in their book.

Then they act all surprised with the “I never thought the leopards would eat my face!” when it happens.

That was my first thought as well!

The last time I tried to install Windows 11 on a VM (Nutanix AHV), I had to fiddle with a virtual TPM and lost the live migration feature as a result.

Dos this mean I can install the LTSC version, not need the TPM and have a working, live migrate-able machine?

Something to test next week…

This was AMAZING, absolutely loved it. I normally don’t like leaving things unexplained, but it worked for me here.
