[12:37:35] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - World Health Organization Will Recognize "Gaming Disorder" - http://sylnt.us - play-on
[13:37:20] <SoyGuest42484> Oh, jeebus, I don't think I'm going to like the new Doctor Who...
[13:38:02] <boru> I've felt that way since the original series.
[14:02:46] <pinchy> i thought that show would have quit after that reboot from a few years ago
[14:03:05] <pinchy> well i guess it was more than a few. 2005
[14:04:27] <SoyGuest42484> I liked Eccleston, but the Tennent era was just terrible. Lucas wasn't much better, and I felt Capaldi brought some gravitas to the role again occasionally.
[14:05:03] <pinchy> so this is the new doctor https://en.wikipedia.org

[14:06:33] <pinchy> i liked the first season with hartnell
[14:07:18] <FatPhil> We started doing a rewatch from Pertwee onwards a few years back, and even the things I didn't like about some of the old ones I now liked.
[14:07:48] <FatPhil> I even liked Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy.
[14:08:07] <FatPhil> But perhaps I was just going through an "I frickin hate Tennent" patch.
[14:08:28] <pinchy> it seems those 'old' doctor who episodes were written as if made for a stage play. lots of heavy dialogue
[14:09:17] <FatPhil> One of my g/f's and my part-time hobbies is to create scripts for all the old episodes.
[14:20:39] <FatPhil> /usr/bin/sort needs a "sort by length" switch.
[14:21:07] <FatPhil> I might have to do a bloody schwartzian transform on my data, sigh...
