I for one welcome a return of our Paternoster Row overlords.

I'm kinda excited about this. Wonder if he's actually doing the christmas episode as has been rumoured? Either way it'll be good to see Moffat back!

Happy 90th birthday to Tom Baker, my first Doctor! in c/doctorwho@lemmy.world

Oh, I agree. What the production pulled off with tighter and tighter budgets is impressive. The Ark in space bubblewrap monster is phenomenal 😂

I've become quite fond of Patrick Troughton's Doctor as well, and I see some of the same quirkiness in his performance as in Tom Baker's. The Second Doctor with Jamie is as memorable as Four with Sarah Jane, just a pity so many episodes were junked.

NuWhovian here. It took me a while to watch Classic, and between the pacing and missing episodes the early Doctors were tough going.

Then the Third Doctor regenerates into this tall, shock-haired eccentric, and it just... clicked. Tom Baker was peak Classic Who, he is magnetic to watch. I can definitely understand why his version remains iconic.

Happy birthday, good sir!

‘Doctor Who’ Star Millie Gibson to Be Replaced by Varada Sethu After One Season in c/doctorwho@lemmy.world

"After one season" — we already saw set photos of her into season 15 (or 2 , into 2025 anyway), so it seems its more organic than that. Which I personally like apart from the fact that it means the Ruby question will probably be resolved at the same time.

the whole point of the trolley problem is that there isn’t any single “correct” answer.

Yeah, this exactly. However, the nature of fandoms and especially online fan communities means that rather considering the question bilaterally, people will argue for decades and factions will form 🤷

Apologies if this is the wrong sub for instance downtime alerts. Can't find any means of contacting the admin through other channels, unfortunately.

The Leminal Space admin gave notice over the weekend that there would be some maintenance, and since then the site has thrown errors when I check in. The status page shows all systems operational, though.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I can't access from the Eternity app either. I've cleared my browser cache and site data too, I still get the error message:

There was an error on the server. Try refreshing your browser. If that doesn't work, come back at a later time. If the problem persists, you can seek help in the Lemmy support community or Lemmy Matrix room.

Another “governance” think tank has its eye on the fediverse in c/fediverse@lemmy.ml

Agreed, Kissane and Kazemi are community forces to be reckoned with in this context. Their research into governance has been funded for at least the first half of 2024.
