Here is my poem 'I remember my childhood as a violent nursery rhyme,' published in the delicious latest issue of @madrigalpress themadrigalpress.com/post/i-remembe…

@Alonso_GD Having met Greta that's absolutely what it was.

You idiots need to spend more time around 22 year olds who wear frog hats because there is no way that smile was not the most sarcastic wry expression I’ve ever seen lol

@aimtove @okeechoBree That's not 'out of context' that's firmly in context. The episode sets up an Amazon satire and comes down on the side of Amazon. I think it does so out of a vapid lack of consideration for its themes rather than being intentionally evil, but that's still what the episode does.

@DanLukeFuller @okeechoBree It's funny you bring up Kerblam, everyone loves to take it out of context- specifically "the systems aren't the problem. How people use and exploit the system, that's the problem," when the system is synonymous with the Kerblam bots and someone is actively exploiting them.

Flux used all of dw’s sauce that’s why we have rtd2

@aimtove @okeechoBree The Doctor is also the last person to side with an exploitative company when they've literally helped initiate a revolution that brings down capitalism, and yet Kerblam exists. These are not real people, these are stories that writers make decisions to write.

@Dorkiana2 @JayExci At this point I'm just going to assume you're trying to be insufferable on purpose and leave you to it.

@DanLukeFuller @JayExci Aka "I am the arbiter of quality, disagreement with my ratings is arbitrary because how could they possibly disagree with me". You're arguing a matter of subjectivity. Yes there are better episodes than Unicorn, we both agree. Doesn't make contrary opinion invalid or bad faith.

I just rewatched The Unicorn and the Wasp... It was such a forgettable episode at the time but good lord is this miles ahead of anything that's been put or for years. I would kill for a season of Unicorn and the Wasps these days.

@Dorkiana2 @JayExci I never even said I dislike Unicorn and the Wasp, I think it's a perfectly decent episode, but pretending it's better than anything we've had in years purely as a way to bash the current era (when there are plenty of legitimate critiques) is just silly.

@Dorkiana2 @JayExci No. My argument, which I've reiterated about a dozen times at this point, is that there are plenty of episodes better than Unicorn in this era, and that people who disagree are rating good episodes poorly out of a dislike for the era rather than actual honest engagement.

@Dorkiana2 @JayExci I'm not even gonna bother repeating myself, you're just wilfully misunderstanding me at this point.

@DanLukeFuller @JayExci Your point to me was that the hate of "good" episodes is arbitrary. Some are good, just not two of your chosen, but most of this era is bad. The hate for this era and it's episodes are because most episodes are bad, not "arbitrary".

@Dorkiana2 @JayExci Even if we accept this ridiculous claim that the episodes I used as examples are shit, BY YOUR OWN ADMISSION there are episodes in recent years that are as good or better than Unicorn and the Wasp. Thus, again, my point stands.

@DanLukeFuller @JayExci He says as viewership is at an all time low. And again I don't know how many times I have to point out you tried to dispute his claim with shit episodes.

@Dorkiana2 @JayExci Let's not try and pretend your takes are reflective of the majority all of a sudden. And again, I don't know how many times I have to directly quote 'ahead of anything that's been put out for years' to make the point. This is self-evidently not just a claim about 'the era feel'.

@DanLukeFuller @JayExci You disputed the claim with episodes people consider worse than Unicorn. I point this out. You suggest it's because people rn arbitrarily hate good episodes. Jay's point imo is more the era feel than individual episodes. Yes some good episodes as we both agree, era still sucks.

@Dorkiana2 @JayExci I mean even if we for argument's sake accept the wild take that Unicorn and the Wasp is that good and the stories I listed that bad, you yourself listed several episodes above an 8/10 thus my point stands.

@DanLukeFuller @JayExci Your original tweet specifically lists three episodes that are worse than Unicorn and the Wasp (an 8/10). I then give episodes of the Past two eras I think are good. You then invalidate my opinion based on two of those. Kerblam is hated for its politics, not crazy a leap to make.

@Dorkiana2 @JayExci So if you actually read my original tweet it's specifically responding to the idea that Unicorn and the Wasp is 'miles ahead of anything that's been put out for years'. None of that has anything to do with the politics of RTD2.

@DanLukeFuller @JayExci HAHAHA, so basically "I don't like the politics of Kerblam! therefore it is bad and I can't take you seriously. But anyway who dislikes the politics of RTD2 is just arbitrarily hating and lying to themselves."

@Dorkiana2 @JayExci I can't see any way in which people can genuinely think that except that they've arbitrarily decided 'This Era Bad' and thus refuse to acknowledge the good episodes as good.

@DanLukeFuller @JayExci Pretending? It is better?

@Babi_Berisha @JayExci If Boom was in RTD1 there is absolutely no way in a million years people would be rating Unicorn and the Wasp over it.

@DanLukeFuller @JayExci The Unicorn and the Wasp is infinitely better than anything and everything post Capaldi

@aimtove @okeechoBree If you can't see the issues with writing a story in which displaced people are baddies coming to take over during Boris Johnson's first year as PM, as the Tories are ramping up their anti-refugee politics, then there's not much point having a media criticism discussion with you.

@DanLukeFuller @okeechoBree

@aimtove @okeechoBree I'm not saying that, I'm saying writing characters that are trying to survive and being hopeful against the odds isn't enough to constitute meaningful storytelling. And the refugee part is in her hologram to Yaz talking about 'displaced creatures' coming to 'take over' the Earth.

@DanLukeFuller @okeechoBree Lol what would rather have them do, just give up and have the doctor go-"you know what, half the universe is dead, and I'm just going to let the other half die too, what's the point?" So much for storytelling💀 and Idk what you're referring to, she never said that.

@MarikTheEmperor @okeechoBree War of the Sontarans and Village of Angels are both perfectly fine, I wouldn't call them good.

@DanLukeFuller @okeechoBree Hey hey hey The episodes that were not really about The Flux were good
