Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

While true, Dr Who came out incredibly strong and there always had to be an eventually drop in quality.
Trying to mask it with special effects when the whole vibe was cheesy practical effects that would stay cheesy but watchable 20 years later.
Like, they really just lost the plot, trying to show in huge revelations constantly instead of just focusing on making great episodes that loosely over a couple years resolve a plot point.
This article really isn't about DW, though - which is why I shared it here, and not in the DW community - it's more about...gestures broadly at the entire internet
But, the title mentions Dr. Who, so... disgruntled fans can be dangerously assumed to appear.
I mean, I could have explicitly pointed out that any opinion from Twitter is worthless...
I thought:
Covered that.
Okay, so why derail the conversation away from the actual topic?
Because someone shouldn't use the excuse that "Twitter is a shit hole" to disregard criticism from everywhere.
But again, all of this was implied. And I felt like it was perfectly understandable.
I honestly don't mind explaining things, but you're being super argumentative about not understanding this.
Asking for clarification isn't a big deal, trying to start arguments from a mod account tho
It's a bad look.
They're being argumentative? Dude, you came in with an "um, actually" that just proves the title's point.
You already said "while true" - you don't need to be the embodiment of "it's all getting soured."
