I'm just curious...is there any interest in discussing DW episodes in a startrek.website community?

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Really, what is the Doctor if not an astronaut, on some kind of star trek?
I'm down, I'm super excited for the new series and who knows when Prodigy will air
Sure, love them both. Really liked Jodie but the writing was sub-par in her series
I really hope this new Doctor is good because 12 and 13 were kind of crap.
Oh boy, I cannot get behind that Capaldi slander.
The Chibnall/Whittaker era...I don't think they're are many people who would say it's their favourite, but there were at least a few pretty good installments in there.
I don't know how you could get past Capaldi's first series and not see what an incredible Doctor he is.
I tried so hard to like things in the Chibnall era –– I was so excited when Whittaker was cast and I think she did the best she could -- but after reading Elizabeth Sandifer's evisceration of the Chibnall ethos in her piece on Kerblam! (which I think also applies to ENT, tbh) I think I've come to terms with the fact that I'm not really going to get there.
At the same time, "Demons of the Punjab" is probably a top 10 episode for me, I really love it.
"It Takes You Away" is delightfully weird, the New Years specials are generally pretty solid, "Fugitive of the Judoon" is pretty good even though the greater arc-stuff is not, and I have good memories of "The Haunting of Villa Diodati" and "Can You Hear Me?" even though I haven't revisited them since the first run.
