Wouldn’t those calls that the BBC got about the Rose Noble character, be TRANSphobic, not homophobic, especially considering that I don’t think Rose’s sexual orientation was even mentioned. Interestingly, this series of specials seemed to introduce the idea that, in addition to being gender fluid, the Doctor is also sexually fluid, as evidenced by David Tennent’s 14th Doctor discovering something new about himself while discussing Sir Isaac Newton with Donna. It will interesting to see how far Ncuti Gatwa’s 15th Doctor goes in this regard. I was wondering if 14 might have been bisexual and, after the bi-regeneration, the sexuality might’ve split as well, leaving 14 straight and 15 gay. We’ll see.
It’s a show where the main character is an alien who time travels in a police box that’s bigger on the inside. I think we can get over a trans character. It was also an interesting way to save Dr. Donna’s life by splitting the Tardis energy, so I’m OK with that as I love Dr. Donna. The trans issue was also a tiny part of the show and was harmless. So, no idea why they had a problem with it besides just being transphobic.
QueerTY – stop pretending guys who are sorta okay looking and many who are not are super hotties. I don’t think most of us fall for it. Just cause someone’s got a photo doesn’t make them a as magnificent as you portray them. You wanna show hotties? Good. I applaud that. Just be sure they’re hot. Like Keith T Powers, Paris Brosnan, Brandon Nevarez….ETC
If you’re talking about Lee Pace, Paul Mescal, Matt Bomer, Taylor Zakhar Perez and André Lamoglia, you’re just mistaken. And the vast majority of people would disagree with you.
I love J-Lo but really, do we really need another adaptation of Kiss of the Spider Woman, which was Manuel Puig’s best novel, and then again was a great film starring William Hurt and Raúl Julia? Why other than for money, no matter what the artistic directors behind this say? Why not pick a different Puig novel (he wrote quite a few) or a different author or come up with anything original? The adaptations of adaptations (of adaptations, etc.) are so tiresome.
The Lukas Gage/Chris Appleton flopped coupling (officiated by Kim Kardashian, no less) sounds dreadful. All that hipster posturing on social media – and for what? Embarrassing.

Why can’t they be both?

It’s TV show, can be anything the producers and writers want. The viewer will determine how long the story line remains.

Yeah, those guys are hot.
I do know that to be woke they now have to have one of every race and some fat and hairy guys so the freaks don’t scream, but why complain?

Poor Lump. Please don’t let anyone have any joy.

Ariana Grande looks like a very pale robot, especially when she is looking for her mark on the floor right at the very beginning.

Ariana is a very talented performer, but she’s had so many cosmetic procedures I’m surprised she can see at all.
