Fuck, I hope this injury Saka picked up playing against Greece isn't serious.

[-] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Rumor has it that Odegaard might be back for Liverpool, but I really think we should be overly cautious and let him have extra time to heal. The last thing we need is for our captain to have a recurring injury problem that never fully heals.

Not looking so bright now. One guy says December return likely.

[-] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Yup. Bad news.

[-] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I just want to know how B is. Martin wasn't going to return too soon anyways.

[-] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Bukayo's looked precautionary, though that might be copium from me. If he's out then we're 10x as screwed as we would be with no Odegaard.

This guy is not serious ๐Ÿ˜‘

Finally got to the Chibnall era. Three episodes in and I'm already not wanting to keep going. I like the premise of Rosa a bit but the script and the actual plot elements are... kinda shit really. And not the most historically accurate. There goes my comfort show, I suppose :p

[-] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

No, Chibnall era really falls into clickbaity type of writing. More than half the shit don't make sense, the companions have the personality of Digestives (though if I'd have to pick one from them that is ok it's Graham funny enough), Jodie unfortunately tries to channel Matt Smith a tad too much. She's such a good actress but she needed to inject her own flair, and the scripts weren't much to work with.

[-] nuggsy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I was getting Matt Smith vibes too. In all fairness he was a tough gig to follow, so maybe that was an influence? And I feel like there was probably a lot of scrutiny over picking a female lead for the first time which probably added a lot of pressure too.

But, the writing, from the few episodes I saw, just doesn't seem great at all. It makes me wonder how she would have gone under RTD or even Moffat. Kinda wish she had stayed on at least one more season.

[-] nuggsy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

May I add, everytime I see Chibnall's name, it makes me think of a species of Doctor Who creature.

[-] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

So a bit of River Song..." Spoilers!"...

spoilerThere is another female Doctor, but she has her own style
. I agree that there is incredible pressure with the role, but I think if she had better material it would be better. It was around the time when the Beebs really was trying for everything to be an in your face social commentary. Chibnall's material tried too hard with it. Where as Moffat (however problematic he can be) and RTD, yeah it's social commentary but it's worked in well into a contained science fiction story each episode.

They definitely went back to their roots with the Ncuti era.

I think I know who you mean? Isn't there also the

spoilerfemale clone daughter
from I think the RTD era, under Tenant? Not sure if that's a spoiler or not xD

[-] nuggsy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Mmm... not sure if it's just me, but the spoiler function in this is odd... I don't know if I did it correctly, but if I did, I don't like it.

[-] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah it's a weird function. I think it's my app?

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Graham does seem cool, actually. Just... urk.

[-] nuggsy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

May the gods be with you.

I will one day force myself through it, but I still haven't finished my rewatch yet with my mates. I think we are still halfway through Smith.
