In terms of Switch (2) Pokemon games it’s definitely better than Scarlett/Violet, BDSP and Let’s Go but not as good as Legends Arceus. Probably about on par with Sword/Shield as just solid for me

Now I’ve got my hands on a switch 2 going to give Pokemon Scarlett another go and see if it fares a bit better than the ok first play through I had.

Paying for toilets regardless of method should be the real headline

But more broadly doccy who needs to keep changing and adapting which is why Gatwa was a breath of fresh air and even though he’s done some good stuff in this return run I’d like Russel T to hand over the reigns in the near future to get some fresh people with new ideas writing this glorious show

Now obviously I’m going to continue watch the show (however it continues) because I love doccy who and one thing that’s keeping me interested is that Billie wasn’t introduced in the credits as the doctor like previous incarnations on their debut.

As for the regeneration into Billie Piper I’m afraid to say I don’t like it. Russel T has already pulled the nostalgia card once with Tennant - which for an anniversary special is fine but to do it so soon cheapens the whole thing and just feels like a shock regeneration for shock’s sake

The fact Gatwa never got to square off with the likes of the daleks, cyber men etc is such a shame but that’s also due to the short episode counts we now have. So basically I liked 15’s run but it’s going to feel like a messy and incomplete era

The finale was so rushed, the rani and omega dispatched way too easily for me and while I really liked the 13 cameo I felt 15 would’ve really got cooking with a third season and there’s a lot tied to this specific era that’s unresolved from Susan to the boss and probably other stuff I’m forgetting

It’s clear now the original ending was not Ncuti regenerating but they changed it a few months ago with him not wanting to wait around for a potential third series given his career is on such a rise. Overall I liked his doctor but there’s a huge sense of what could’ve been

True interesting to see what the effects will be in Tory vs Lib Dem battlegrounds (particularly in the South East) because I don’t think reform will sweep in and as easily replace the conservatives as they have in other parts of the country

Also the injection of Carney into the election was a huge factor - if Starmer is still leader by 2029 (which I think he will be) and he keeps on the same trajectory then I can’t see people rallying behind Labour just to keep Reform out
