i really really hope that RTD remembers that Rani’s WHOLE THING is evil science and that’s she NOT just the master but woman. PLEASE RTD. She’s only been in three episodes. Just do her right. Her whole thing is SCIENCE. EVIL SCIENCE. SHE LOVES PLANTS AND DINOSAURS. PLEASE RTD PLEASE

i had a lot of predictions for this episode, but rogue sending the doctor a video message from super hell in order to snap him out of heterosexuality was not one of them

I really love the fact they brought back the Fugitive Doctor for perhaps 2 lines to reveal that she had a lesbian situationship with Anansi's daughter

I want to make it very clear that while I think the head of a large military organization allowing a dangerous alien monster to brutalise some guy was pretty fucked up regardless of the circumstances, it is 100% in character for Kate Stewart.

She would fucking do that.

love the premise of the episode because like “there’s a barbershop traveling through space on the power of stories” is already great but then you throw in “and it’s on the back of a giant mechanical spider monster” and that’s doctor who baby!!!

How Undersiders get their powers if there were no Shards around:

Taylor: became too vital of a part of the Locker ecosystem for bugs to leave her

Lisa: a smart person, as envisioned by Stephen Moffat

Brian: interior decor skills so terrible they create sensory deprivation chambers anywhere

Rachel: her dogs got that her in them

Alec: whimsical quips leave you weak in the knees

Aisha: bisexual erasure

oh worm

This discussion of superhero logistics reminds me of an element of Worm's background worldbuilding that I've always found really interesting, which is that the heroes are running out of teleporters. They had a cloak-style mass teleporter, Strider, who was apparently indispensable for troop deployment at Endbringer fights, but he didn't get the hell out of dodge in time so by the Behemoth fight they mention having to seriously kludge other not-as-good powers to get everyone on-site on time. No one dies forever in comics so the question of "what are the risks of one guy's powers becoming indispensable to our organization" isn't as salient, but here goes Worm, gesturing at the idea that you might just get super fucking unlucky because you became organizationally dependent on a couple golden gooses who you inexplicably keep bringing to live fire situations. If they weren't hard to replace, they wouldn't exactly be superheroes, would they?

>be me, pizza guy in shittiest port town on Earth Bet

>terrible tips and get robbed for pizza so often I have honest to god decoy pizzas

>get called to deliver to this weird old warehouse like three times a week and have to roll the dice on how it's gonna go

>there's this whole Burger King Kid's Club worth of diverse teenagers that live there and I never know who I'm gonna get

>worst kid there is the one that answers the door 90% of the time. I hate this little fucking shit

>black haired boy. Dainty little prince pretty boy type. Always the one who calls the orders in, and always gives some stupid ass fake name like he's fucking Bart Simpson. "I.C. Weiner" and "I.P. Freely." That kind of shit.

>like half the time I think I'm delivering a depression-meal since he's dressed like he just woke up, and I'd feel bad except he makes some smartass remark every time, and since I see him every other goddamn day, it's almost always the same joke. Also tries to get free pizza by saying it's 30 minutes or free, except no one has done that program since like 1993, so he's pulling shit from tv. I don't need a fucking comedy routine from a kid in cookie monster pajama pants. Bad tipper. Whatever cash he has in his pocket.

>he's on the shitlist because, and I don't know how the fuck he does this, but every time the pizza is "late", this fucking kid trips me somehow. Or I drop my phone or the pizza bag or keys. Swear to god this kid has Home Alone tripwires or something.

>and every time it happens. Every fucking time. This little bastard says "have a nice trip."

>would say he's a cape, but every cape I've ever met has had some kind of presence, and I'm not giving that much credit to someone with a four-hair teenage mustache

>hate this smug little fucker and I'd have him blacklisted if this fucking building and its weird teenage polycule didn't make up like 50% of our orders for the neighborhood. 0/10, I hope you die

>be me, Brockton Bay pizza man. Deliver to welding building. Name on order is "Dick Hardly." Little prince opens the door. He has a sidekick. Black girl counterpart. They give me matching shit-eating grins. I hate my fucking job.
