I think we're going to watch Star Trek: The Voyage Home tonight. It's my favourite Star Trek film, and we've been watching them in order with the kids sporadically. (We're going through Doctor Who, TOS, and TNG in order, so we don't watch the movies all that often.)

I'm curious when and where the new Buffy will appear... We haven't watched the originals with my younger two yet, as they're not old enough for some of the content.

...And so Chibnall doesn't feel left out

Continued thread

And, while we're at it, who's your favourite Moffat Doctor?

My hipster ass only gets 5 slots per poll so I was thwarted from including Toby Jones and the Fatal Death Doctors

#DoctorWho poll time! Who is your favourite RTD Doctor?

@Euan What bit of acknowledged Doctor Who continuity would you _eliminate entirely_ if you could?

If any, of course.

(This isn't quite "what's Doctor Who's biggest storytelling mistake?" because a good story can introduce some _real bullshit_ to continuity and still be a good story on its own. HOWEVER! If there's none in the above, then I submit this question in its place.)
