And they also said season 1 & 2, also referring to modern. I kinda think we need more than series vs season to refer to things. Zingo 1 and zingo 2?

I get why people don’t like the season numbering restart, but I like it cause it’s easier to get friends in with a “season 1” as opposed to being like "Start at season 14, then go back and see if you like it!

If your friends aren’t sold with “Start at season 40” it’s time to find new friends! /j

With Newer Who, i use the episode titles more than the series number. I’m the same with Classic Who too, i know all the episodes in the first 4 seasons then I’m lost with what’s in where

They said season referring to Gatwa’s seasons (as they’re officially named), and Hartnell’s seasons, but didn’t refer to 2005-22 as “season”

I was afraid you’d follow this up with ‘in Terror of the Autons’…

Saxon Master in Series 3 I do like, although his pseudo-Joker shtick can get a bit much at times (the musical bit in LotTL for example). In The End of Time…
…well when he has his deep conversations with 10 and when he fights back against the Time Lords he’s pretty cool. But as I said in a different thread: implied cannibal Skeletor Master is… certainly a choice.
I’m still yet to properly watch Capaldi’s era.

I don’t know if it’s an ick but something that annoys me a little, mostyl in classic Who, is that the charcaters keep getting exposed to some sorts of radiations and once the exposure stops, they’re fine (The Ambassadors of Death, the Mutants, Genesis of the Daleks…) and I’m like “Umm, no actually, that’s not how radiations work”.
Given how much Doctor Who plays with physics I don’t know why this bothers me so much but there you go

Hiding behind a truck to stop the effects of a nuclear strike reaching them in The Hand of Fear has always amused me.

One thing with older episodes in science fiction is that you somewhat have to contend with what people knew at the time of the episode being written rather then what we know now, so I tend to give older episodes slack in that regard…

I like to assume it’s a truck made of lead, which means it’s a fundamentally useless truck and that amuses me

Ok, but would you rather hide behind a truck, or hide in a fridge? You’re going to die either way, but which is more stylish.

Oh, yes, for sure! And that’s why it’s more a pet peeve than anything too bad. I still love the episodes I mentioned for example so I don’t hold it against them.
It’s more a case of I wish my brain stopped imagining the actual consequences it would have on the characters.

Same goes for a bunch of superhero comics, I’d imagine…
DOCTOR: Why did they call him Spider-Man? Don’t they like him?
YOUNG GRANT: He was bitten by a radioactive spider, and guess what happened?
DOCTOR: Radiation poisoning, I should think.

Omg yes I think about that a lot too 
I just have to assume the doctor used some high tech medical equipment to save them from radiation poisoning of screen lol

He does have anti-radiation pills in destiny of the daleks, so I presume the doctor gives those to people afterwards?
