When you’re depressed…..

Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: Doctor Who: Ask the Matrix: When you’re depressed…..
By Rodney Hrvatin (Rhrvatin) on Friday, November 18, 2022 - 2:09 pm:

My mental health has not been great in recent years but I have found some excellent previous conversations to lighten my mood around here. Here are some suggestions-

Lunier describing watching The Web Planet while high

Tim vs Kate on the Four to Doomsday board

Emily’s complete 180 on Extremis when she found out I hated it and the subsequent somersaults she has done to try and convince us that it wasn’t the case.

Emily vs JEP in the calling the moderator board from earlier this year.

Me unleashing the furies of Hades for suggesting that The Doctor was callous in his dismissal of everyone that he had killed in Horror of Fang Rock. It literally spawned an obsession with a small character from that by Tim.

At the risk of patting my own back- my script for a deleted scene from The God Complex and the subsequent discussion.

My script of CapaldiDoc meeting Malcolm Tucker (I actually can’t remember where I put it but I remember being angry that it didn’t get anywhere near the love that deserved- however unlike JEP I’m not demanding anything from anyone)

Watching Steve slowly unravel as a producer dares to set an entire season on Earth (despite having no complaints when RTD or Barry Letts did it).

Undoubtedly Emily would like me to mention my former friend who once told me there would be no new series. That he was wrong was great. That Emily kept petulantly rubbing my face in it not so much……

If you want to venture further from the Who boards then….

Rona vs Luigi in the Kill Bill boards

Jeff’s postings about Jewish representation in DS9. I literally became a moderator to shut that down.

Feel free to add more….

Well, I was right in some cases. I just think if your show is centered around an alien with a a time machine that can go anywhere in the universe...YOU SHOULD TRAVEL THE UNIVERSE!!!
13 wasn't exiled to Earth, so Chibs had no excuse.
And looking back, yea, RTD sure did have alot of episodes Earth-based episodes, but I'll boast the superiority of 'Rose', 'The Empty Child', or 'School Reunion' over 'Demons of the Punjab' or 'Arachnids of the U.K.' any day.
Anywaaaaays...

Other amusing places at Nitcentral can show the creativity of the people here, such as in the Humor section in The Kitchen Sink.
Check out 'Add A Touch Of Godzilla', where 'Godzilla' is substituted for other words in movie and TV show titles, songs titles, etc. Some are pretty funny.

I might actually stop bothering to correct you on that, if it really makes you happy...I mean, everything about Extremis is false WORSHIP IT so why not one more thing...

Emily vs JEP in the calling the moderator board from earlier this year

Whereas I'm still mildly pissed off we lost what COULD have been a regular poster over something so STUPID.

At the risk of patting my own back- my script for a deleted scene from The God Complex and the subsequent discussion

You are VERY entitled to pat yourself on the pack, our deleted-scene scripts are some of our finest moments, I'm still chuckling over human/Silurian snippets (Paternoster Gang section).

My script of CapaldiDoc meeting Malcolm Tucker (I actually can’t remember where I put it but I remember being angry that it didn’t get anywhere near the love that deserved- however unlike JEP I’m not demanding anything from anyone)

Well do a search for some key words and let us know where it is when you find out - I'm happy to give it another chance, in the meantime there's a rather nice Malcolm-Tucker-faces-Liz-Truss video...

Undoubtedly Emily would like me to mention my former friend who once told me there would be no new series. That he was wrong was great. That Emily kept petulantly rubbing my face in it not so much……

Honestly, I WISH you didn't see that as rubbing it in YOUR face - by this point it's not even rubbing it in your Former Friend's face, it's just GLOATING that IT'S BACK IT'S BACK OH GODS IT'S BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK...

I just think if your show is centered around an alien with a a time machine that can go anywhere in the universe...YOU SHOULD TRAVEL THE UNIVERSE!!!

*Much sympathetic nodding*

13 wasn't exiled to Earth, so Chibs had no excuse.

It occurred to me he may have, y'know, DESTROYED THE UNIVERSE to give him an excuse to stick around on Earth but everyone sorta...forgot about that so I was obviously mistaken.

I'll boast the superiority of 'Rose', 'The Empty Child', or 'School Reunion' over 'Demons of the Punjab' or 'Arachnids of the U.K.' any day.
Anywaaaaays...


What about over Fugitive of the Judoon, Power of the Doctor, It Takes You Away, Rosa, Haunting of Villa Diodati...?

Stupid and silly spin-offs is where you’ll find my script- scroll to October 2015

Yeah, he left because of a silly quarrel over the name of a city.

Ah...yes...sadly it was all just a bit too rude for me to cope with...

Other suggestions for happiness: search for 'Last Day' on a REALLY lively day on Nitcentral and feast your eyes on entries like 'Modern Series - Season Fourteen', 'Novels - Tenth Doctor' 'Doctor - Thirteenth (Whittaker)', 'Audios - War Doctor' etc etc and just imagine you're reading this list as your twenty-years-younger-self who thinks their chances of being blessed with a single extra episode of Who is pretty remote...

Oh, and read Space Helmet for a Cow Volume I.

Had no idea you were such a prude (especially after your review combat rock). And it’s as sweaty as the show.


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Monday, November 21, 2022 - 12:44 pm:

I'm TOTALLY a prude (am an asexual reared as a Catholic by the worst prude on the planet). I just...like swearing. Sex, not so much.


By Rodney Hrvatin (Rhrvatin) on Monday, November 21, 2022 - 10:40 pm:

There wasn’t any sex in that sketch though?


By Emily Carter (Emily) on Tuesday, November 22, 2022 - 1:58 am:

There was a pretty explicit reference to doing stuff that I REALLY don't want to think about. And in the presence of the Doctor, too!
