ooh

/will read when I have the brain for it

ok

XD: ahhhh well it's a clist

*list

I MEAN I GUESS IT'S SPECIFICALLY FOR HISTORY BUFFS so

yeah it is XD

For me the Aztecs is a good choice

I havent' watched the Crusades

but I'm surprised Rome isn't here >>

i.. am not sure if i know that one. the rome one

vesuvius is on there so maybe they felt like they had to choose

I feel like Pyramids of Mars is familair somewhere else

yeah maybe

Rome was with Nero

yeah i don't think i got to see that one

and of course there was one in Mongolia but a lot of that is missing

can't say much about Fivey's eposiode but I'm more partial to the one guy who should have been a companion but wasn't

The Mark of the Rani was an interesting one I do agree for the time period

The Girl in the Fireplace was okay :/

but the 1950s one with the speech was better

XD

i liked the girl in the fire place and i think it also made me roll my eyes

It's an okay list for a list but not very indepth

yeah it was a bit XD

well it hink it's trying to get people INTO it?

mm perhaps XD but

so you don't want to get too much info

yeah

but idk

...oh my god

someone posted a picture of a wombat with a story

this picture specifically

someone told them "congratulations he's beautiful!"

OP: ????

Person: FECK I DIDN'T LOOK PROPERLY I THOUGHT YOU HAD YOUR BABY I'M SORRY OMG

XDD

...i thought i put this on the other thread

oh well XD

XD sok

any preference of which thread to use?

that one I think

ok

Rome is super innaccurate

I love GitF >> at first and now I hate it :V

I wonder why

and true

Well Nero didn't actually set fire to the city, it wasn't reaaaaaalllllly that Shakespearian opera drama and it was just it tried but I mean total product of its time

And the Crusades was ehhhhhhhhhh 1/2 and half really

they are soooooo off-base

I'm not even a history nerd just married to one and descended from :V

XDD cuutie

The Highlanders? = A+

admittedly tho that's hard to watch

the stupid ass Western was ALSO REALLY GOOD SURPRISINGLY?!?!?

yes

XD the stupid ass western

I don't

Marco Polo wasn't so you know

like it would have been a fine story without the Doctor

yeah

oh but the St Bartholomew's Massacre was fantastic and for REALLY REALLY HISTORY NEEEEERDS the French Revolution because that was LITERALLY while they were doing educational tv and had a history teacher as a main character FOR A REASON

also this list is Moffat heavy /PEERS AT IT

Which is frankly odd because I feel like Moffat doesn't actually

try to get history

Like he enjoys it as an aesthetic

well it was written in 2013

so it's during his heyday

/s i g h

but there are so many better eps than the Girl in the Fireplace

I was so fucking addicted to that episode the first 100 (I exaggerate but it was a LOT) times

Back when I hadn't gotten through my backlog of 7, 1, and really did a deep dive on Rose characterization and put everything into a more linear context and was just EPISODIC

Then the tech crew told me about Moffat's shit and I can't watch it anymore without internally hissing lmao

XD I forgot what shit he did but eyeah

I could never get beyond 10's treatment of Rose in that

or rather Rose just

puttng up with it

:V

I loooooooooooooooooooooooove the way the fanfic authors FAR AND WIDE handle that

also the versions where 9 tells 10 off for it :V beautiful

rofl

yes but

I guess because it's a very eyecatching epsiode

but

idk

yes

It's visually/initially gorgeous

as Moffat things tend to be

/dangles keys

yeah

like if he just was in charge of that ...

but

XD

"make things bombastic"

I MEAN

He did with s5-10 so

but at the sacrifice of continuity, replayability, depth, etc. etc. -> but the Moffat fans are all pissed off because Chibnall is going back to educational and I AM JUST

well they can su k eggs
