Sexagenarian series seems only good for reminding us how old we are anymore, what with all there being to the new stories hyperkinetic visuals and characters who run around trying to explain them, surely not the stuff of later fan service …Of course I’m being a hypocrite, as I’ve criticized the lackluster serials during Janet Fielding’s tenure, even if it was very nice of them to bring her and her Doctor back for their latest Master+Daleks+Cybermen+kitchen sink special. Honestly, Baker’s including “The Invasion of Time” and afterward were hardly memorable, either, so maybe it was a drop in quality that accompanied the end of the seventies among many peaking creatives; see also Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd.

In retrospect it may not amount to much, but there was at least some progress from the Killing Eve remake where the queers were relegated to supporting characters then letting them be the leads, if only “coded” as such and surrounded by the most extreme examples of the opposite sex.

Even the Doctor said Trump was inevitable (in contrast to the optimism that Superman is), but I worry about living to see a day when we as a people can look back and heaven forbid, learn why. It’ll also be interesting to try and trace—forensically, of course—where some of his nonsense originated, whether it was Q-scripted and fumbled, anyway, or the product of a media-muddled “mind.”
