Being a Doctor Who fan sounds exhausting. Good thing I’m a fan of Star Trek, where nothing stressful has happened lately because it’s been a few months since one of them was on the air

In RTD2 this is replaced by the episode's Stock Crying Scene™️ and if you think it's naff someone on here will accuse you of supporting male genocide

dont wanna go too far saying this but the ep feels so anti abortion like wdym you cant get rid of the baby you IMAGINED ..

We all know Ncuti has left early. It’s just PR since there’s no way they can be honest & say it’s because Disney delayed production on S3. Either the BBC were too optimistic Disney would automatically renew. Or Disney said from the start they would but then changed their mind.

Happy Pride Month to her

If you want to write comics ... don't go into with this mindset. Because this is the wrong way to do it.

girlfriend called me a "discord queen" and it's a phrase so bad that i gave myself the ick

Benjamin Cook yarmouth fever Adnan Hailat Luke interesting use of statistics to mislead the audience, let me explain why. 1. Audience Index inherently suffers from bias as you are asking people already predisposed to enjoyment of a show to rank it. Not really relevant here as this is a discussion on fanbases but worth noting

Benjamin Cook yarmouth fever Adnan Hailat Luke 2. Since 2009, AI scores generally average around the mid 80s. With this in mind it’s clear that the past season of Doctor Who was actually seen as slightly BELOW average by fans rather than being received particularly well. For comparison, RTD1 regularly got AI scores over 84

Benjamin Cook yarmouth fever Adnan Hailat Luke In fact, Journey’s End, another big finale, received a staggering AI score of 91! These are the peaks Doctor Who used to aspire to and should be the goal for a writer of RTD’s caliber, not barely passing average 3. You are weighting these episodes against each other…

Benjamin Cook yarmouth fever Adnan Hailat Luke … which is important because of my first point. People who do not enjoy this season will simply turn the TV off. Only the people who actually enjoy the episodes will contribute to this AI score. There are very few detractors left on this poll you hold so dear

Benjamin Cook yarmouth fever Adnan Hailat Luke 4. Space Babies, the opener to this season and a good example of an episode widely panned by fans, received an AI score of 75, which is frankly terrible. Over the entirety of NuWho, only Once, Upon Time has ever scored this low and no episode has scored lower.

Benjamin Cook yarmouth fever Adnan Hailat Luke By this metric you are using to prove fans have absolutely no criticisms of the show at all, this season contains the joint worst episode of Doctor Who (2005-) of all time

Benjamin Cook yarmouth fever Adnan Hailat Luke In your original tweet, you describe Empire of Death's 8/10 score (wildly inaccurate as AI scores rarely if ever dip below 20, making the act of calling it a true /10 rating system false) as 'impressive'. These are the AI scores for Season 4. This is what 'impressive' is

Benjamin Cook yarmouth fever Adnan Hailat Luke I wonder if it is important for you in some way to dissuade fans who have valid criticisms of the current quality of the show into thinking they are 'bad faith nitpickers'. Works of art need to be criticised, not from a place of hate of course but from a place of love.

Benjamin Cook yarmouth fever Adnan Hailat Luke I criticise Doctor Who because I want the show that would score 90s on AI back, not because I want the show gone forever. As fans, we have a right to make our displeasure known, otherwise who is the show being made for?

I’m so glad that all 3 of the biggest sci fi franchises fell to total dogshit, all want to emulate each other even though it’s clear nobody likes them and they’re failing, and all at almost the exact same moment in ~2017

game theory: the reason that Ben Cook screenshots like this pop off while his replies flop to 3 replies is because he has nearly everyone on this website blocked already
