Series 11 News & Spoilers

Yeah, and in the US, the f word is also considered a slur.

So, yeah maybe you shouldn’t discuss British cultural artifacts.

That f word, in context, is dinner. Which illustrates my point. You see an insult in cake. Do I have to post a link up to the One show talking about faggot manufacture? Because I don’t know if it’s on YouTube, and it kinda puts me off a favourite meal knowing what it’s made of.
I have to read discussions of the Doctors fanny pack and neither take offence nor snort my drink through my nose. Maybe looking for an argument where this isn’t one is just a bit...naf.
 
I predicted one more Doctor. A new McCoy era essentially, now the anniversary love affair is over. We even had grumpy alien Doctor, continuity porn, schedule jumping and a hiatus.
I will be happy to be wrong, I ain’t some Johnny come lately to this fandom, but if it goes, then yes, I called it.
Break out the Jimi, cos all of this has happened before, all of this will happen again. It’s like RTD, Moff, and Chib are like some trinity second coming of JNT.
You *might* have a case if it comes to pass. But, it's too early to be "calling it" now. Ratings are good. That's nothing like McCoy years when ratings were bad. I think you're jumping the gun by quite a bit!
 
I think both RTD and Moff tried for that Farscape feel on a BBC Wales budget. I kinda liked that. Didn’t always work, but I liked it.


That analogy actually works. Just look at "The End of the World"

Which definitely makes reading Lord of the Rings weird and uncomfortable.

Yeah, I'll admit I got Farscape vibes the first time I watched that episode.

I don’t see an insult in a cake. I see people misspelling a person’s name and I don’t understand why. I ask. And what did I get in return?

I think it's simply because people don't know how to spell it. As for any conflict over people's reactions I would just mark it off as a misunderstanding that comes from talking via posts instead of face to face.

I stuck an extra e on the end by accident. It’s a different accepted spelling of the same name. The very post decrying it then also spelt it wrong. *shrug*
I mention a cake as a reference point and it’s apparently disrespect.
Lê sigh.
 
And it's not like he's some obscure actor. He was well known for many years before he even did Doctor Who.

I personally could actually count on one hand the amount of things i had seen him in before Who, Cracker and two movies, Hillsborough and Let him have it, but apart from that i had never seen him in anything else, a bit like Stewart, i remembered his face from Dune and Lifeforce before he was in TNG, and that is it, yet when you check their credits they have been making stuff for years, so funny that is all i can remember them being in. lol
 
It's not that hard to figure out. Eccleston is spelled out on any number of websites, and is clearly visible on screen at the start of all thirteen episodes he was in.

It's the two c's in the name. Easy to kind of forget one of them if your not really talking about him a great deal. Also easy to think the second c is suppose to be a e.

Uh-huh.

How is this an excuse for putting an e at the end of his name?

Typo,brain fart and how sometimes the e can be silent. I mean it's a simple mistake. Why does anyone need a excuse? A "My Bad" seems to be more than enough of a reply to this type of thing.

Not since Marie Antoinette has a mention of cake caused so much fuss.
