I’m 62 years old and I just heard about the Hanukkiah for the first time tonight on puppy dog pals. What the heck? How can I live my entire life and never have heard of this. I’ve been around plenty of Jewish people and we talked about Hanukkah plenty of times. I’ve known about the menorah. I’ve known about the dreidel....
I suspect bi-generation is a ploy to make this Doctor, and all he does, reversible. I understand if RTD didn’t want to carry all the dense guilt and lone wolf weight of Moffitt’s Doctor into his version, but just dumping it onto poor Tennant and carrying on with a properly “counseled” Doctor, as if the new Doctor wasn’t a continuity but rather a drop in from already having a life, seems…weird.
But for the producers, if it doesn’t work out you can just eliminate the RTD storyline and switch back to Tennant. After all, who really expects a time lord to sit on a porch drinking lemonade for long?
I guess I wasn’t clear. I like the new Doctor too, and I don’t want a reset. It’s did occur to me that the episode lent itself to rolling back. Another possible conclusion is that Disney wants to spin off more Doctor-themed shows and having two doctors makes that work.
IDK. I’m happy we’re getting more Doctor Who, but nervous we’re destroying tropes along the way. Two Tardises, just like that? Hmmm.
Seems pointless and inconvenient for me as they usually seem to be poor quality, and can you really listen to music in the shower, and are you showering long enough to benefit from it?...

I think it might have originated in the Bible. Paul says in Titus 1:12-13 NIV
"One of Crete’s own prophets has said it: ‘Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.’ This saying is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith.
I always found it comical that Paul, the great apostle, endorsed this stereotype of the people of Crete.
I like time-loop movies, groundhog Day being there most notable. My favorite is probably Triangle. I’ve seen Timecrimes, Happy Death Day (& 2U), Edge of tomorrow,
I’ve watched Exam, I forgot to include it but you’re right, same genre. I’ve watched The Game but I’m going to rewatch it with my adult son who hasn’t seen it to feel out there similarities you’re getting.
Im having difficulty finding names I like. I need two - three names that roll off the tongue and wouldn’t be out of place with a long hyphenated surname....
IT’S THE POST. The very post we’re commenting on is an example of how art is trying to be shielded from the advances of technology whereas coal miners knife sharpeners roof thatchers… everybody watched them starve and nobody cared.
They were clapping while the miners were sent into starvation. People were dying and we were clapping because an industry we didn’t like went away. It’s all because “Art Lovers” are rich and elitist that they want an outcry. Which of us has a collection of art, or even one piece? Nobody who thinks about paying bills I’ll bet.
Alfred Russell Wallace discovered evolution concurrently with Darwin, and sent him a letter that purportedly spooked him into publishing “Origin of Species” before anyone could ‘scoop’ him. Wallace had proposed natural selection as the mechanism of evolution, what Darwin had been working on independently.
Calculus was discovered independently in the late 17th century by two great mathematicians: Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz.
I’m just saying sometimes things emerge because it’s just time for them to emerge. Maybe that’s what happened with Hanna Montana and Taylor Swift. It was just time.
