Comment on Gallifrey One Recap: Listen Now! by Alice

First off, it was great hearing your quick recap of Gally. I came over here from Joy Piedmont’s twitter. I was so excited that Jo Martin was one of our first guests after the absence of Gally. I completely agree with you on the topic of moderation and good moderation. Matthew Sweet, as he said himself, has more often been a panelist or an attendee and while his interviews were quite good, his control of audience questions was very loose. There has been room for audience questions in the past and the moderator has definitely been the one to wrangle bad or overly long questions. I also saw this on the Segun Akinola panel where the panelist moderating didn’t seem very experienced at doing a panel and one audience member was able to speak for an overly long period of time. But otherwise, the small, closely-knit feel of Gally was amazing to come back to and the guests top tier. BTW, that guy on twitter saying the Fugitive Doctor isn’t a major character seems to have a lot of hate in his heart, so I think his opinion can be safely ignored in this case.

In reply to Ian. I'm only replying to this because I made a point to distinguish the fact that Bill's death is brutal and nobody else's is. Clara does scream, which can be an emotional response as much as a physical one, but we don't have to watch her body be torn apart. Appreciate the difference.

As of now, the tweet-along for those episodes are cancelled, but it’s good to see Thin Ice included in that fan watchalong…for reasons I think are very obvious. Keep the spark alive, hope matters too.

I appreciate this perspective and certainly understand it, though I think at some point we’re denying artists if we don’t let them express themselves in some provocative storylines, but everyone experiences the same thing differently. I hope you’ll note that the decision was made to scrap this watch-a-long, and it had been planned long before the current wave of protests brought these issues to the forefront again.

I will say Clara’s death is anything but peaceful, she screams in pain. Bill’s is horrific and emotionally traumatic and drawn out for her, but Moffat killed* every single companion he created.

Just wanna say thank you for this. Going to be honest and say that I’d been so distracted by the explosions and the Cybermen that I didn’t see what was right there in front of me. And reading your words, it occurs to me that if that’d happened to a trans character, I’d have been ranting furiously about representation, so I’m shocked at myself. Sorry that you had to educate, grateful that you did, reminding myself that passive media consumption and spectatorship is always going to bite sooner . Also, the writing here is awesome. Just sayin’.
