So the thing with Ncuti Gatwa's performance as the Doctor isn't that he cries too much. That's good and fine; they're affected by tragedy. It's what happens after.
What's missing from his performance (and Jodie Whittaker's, come to think of it) is moments where all of that patience and resilience turns on a sixpence into righteous anger spat directly at the face of injustice.
Moments like when Captain Sisko found out that [spoiler] was a Maquis traitor (though of course the situation was much more nuanced in Deep Space Nine… it's always more nuanced in Deep Space Nine). And see? Peter Capaldi was considered for the role of Benjamin Sisko.
But then I suppose that's not really the actors' performances at fault, but the writing.
On today's show: - Nerding out to Dr. Who! - Trump's FBI arrests a Wisconsin judge. - Elon Musk sues Minnesota over our deep fake law. - Why moderate Democrats should be primaried. - The U o

A year later, it seems like a good time to put out the 2nd episode. So keen were we to bring this wonderful show back to your pod catchers, we recorded an episode last week... and someone forgot to press record. So, presenting here episode two mark two, in which we cover the first two episodes of the new season, the forth episode of the last season, and prove that we can hardly remember what happened last week let alone in Jon Pertwee's 4th season. There are some sound issues.
What with the direction #DoctorWho is going this season, it feels like a great time to revisit the metafictional Ms. Wildthyme. This particular anthology from @obversebooks also happens to contain my first ever published story!
