And you're 100% wrong.
Russell T. Davies Returns to Doctor Who as New Showrunner
- Thread starter Allyn Gibson
- Start date
Except I'm not, and its obvious in literally every frame of that show.
Anyway, I'm done talking about Andor here, its majorly derailed a completely unrelated thread. You like Andor, I think its insulting shit, and neither of us are wrong, thats what opinions are.
Clearly not considering how many people disagree with you.
Yes, you are. Now let's move on.
Originally, it came across that anyone who liked Andor was a person who hates Star Wars. I respectfully disagree with you in thinking it was made by people who hate SW, but you have the right to that opinion.
If what I said seemed to imply that I thought that people who like Andor can't like the rest of Star Wars then I apologize for it coming off like that, I definitely didn't mean for it to come across that way. I do however maintain my opinion about the people who made the show and their relationship towards the SW franchise.
Objective:
- Existing independent of or external to the mind; actual or real.
"objective reality."
The idea that the people who run Star Wars would air a show by and for people who hate Star Wars is absurd. So is the idea that they haven't approved every script and every episode at multiple stages and they accidentally aired a hater show because they missed the nefarious haterificness of it.
Andor isn't Star Wars by or for people who hate Star Wars. It's Star Wars for people who liked Star Wars as kids but aren't kids now and are tired of kid stuff and shows that pander to nostalgic fans. It's Star Wars by and for people who think Star Wars can be taken seriously.
Doctor Who has to walk a similar line, being family-friendly but keeping viewers as they age, balancing fun and nostalgia with changes in what people expect from TV series as the years go by. I think by and large they've managed that pretty well, and for me, at least, better than Star Wars has on average.

I like Star Wars, but when do we get back to discussing Doctor Who in the Doctor Who forum?
About... 27 days.
If only that particular exchange were made a day earlier, we could have made a 28 Days Later joke.
Still odd that they didn't start with the essential viewing Christmas Special but Disney have got the promotion machine firing away now. Here's a massive preview from the new Entertainment Weekly:

No spoilers except that the outfits seen in the photos are not just for the photo shoot but will be in S2/15.

Millie, Varada* &
Bonnie were shooting together today. They were asking people not to take photos but the scenes seem to be set in the past, so looks like Mel finally gets another trip in the TARDIS.
*Or should I say Belinda...

Amendment to the above.
Rather than being the past it seems to be an alternative facistic present with people in 1950s style clothes. So these two photos are from the same scene.
Hope they remember to CGI out the Cardiff City Council logo on the wheelie bin!

while everyone else is in 1950s style clothes Millie is in the same outfit she had on in Episode 4, which is the only other one we know for sure she's in.

Unless it actually does take place in Cardiff.
Frustratingly all three of them have been in the same location today but not in the same shot.
Here's Varada doing what Companions do best.
