@@DiamandaHagan Not exactly open ended. The game is an Idle Game for mobile, you gather resources and upon reaching milestones you unlock scenes. The first 40 Episodes are a continuous story involving almost every Doctor from 1st to 13th. Not a multi-doctor story per-se as they don't met, but they do criss-cross some companions. Then each 5 episodes from the on form their own narratives. Stuff like the 4th Doctor, Sarah Jane and Harry Sullivan visiting Mars (With Harry punching out a weakened Ice Lord) or 10th taking Donna and Wilfred to a Ood Concert only to have a run-in with the Ainley Master. (And Donna slaps the Master, which was super satisfactory) Then there are around 15+ events, shorter narratives that tend to be compact stories. Stuff like the 8th Doctor teaming up with a golden age comic-book author who accidentally drew a Weeping Angel into a comic and now the angels come out from the comics, or the 12th Doctor trying to stop an alien film studio from making a Davros Musical (With thinly veiled references to Springtime for Hitler) Most recently we added Season Pass events, which are as long as Events, but also add animated scenes in the game's main screen. We had the 15th Doctor and Ruby encountering an original monster (Which I had the pleasure to make) and 11th saving River's bacon after a botched archeological dig on Mars. Our latest big event was a crossover with Star Trek: Lower Decks (Which was fun as I'm both a Who Fan and a Trek Fan)

They only wanted Captain Black to do their dirty work. Also the helicopter that was shooting at Captain Blue must have been manned beforehand when the Mysterons destroyed it & reconstructed it, leaving only the voices of those who originally operated it. Also in the the episode 'Renegade Rocket' Major Reeves was obviously Captain Brown previously. Even looked like he was using a Spectrum issued gun with the top of it coloured brown.

It is sadly, about as much of a bait and switch as Lovecraft Country which is not even remotely about the elder gods and eldritch horrors but a badly forced and boring allegory about racism (and no wonder it got cancelled quickly). In this case instead of the TV show being some creepy otherworld manipulation that comes back to haunt two people after they have grown up, it is just an allegory about repressed homosexuality. How disappointing. Showrunners still do not realize that people watch sci-fi or horror because they care about those settings and elements, and they don't want to see them just used as window dressing for themes the showrunners want to promote. (See also Velma, Netflix She-Ra, MOTU Revelation, the list goes on). It's why I liked The 100, or the first season of The Terror, for example, because it does not try to be just a false skin for a completely different show, it is what it says on the tin.

Yeah, horror and science fiction have never been successfully used as allegories for social issues or human experiences! This is why "Star Trek," "Doctor Who," "The Twilight Zone," "Star Wars," and "Dune" all failed, and no one likes them. Keep politics (and thematic elements) out of my video games! (Also, it's about repressed transgenderism, not "repressed homosexuality." We never learn what gender(s) Owen is attracted to. And I would argue it's also about existential dread, but whatever.)

Speaking as someone both kinky and trans: you sound like you might have a lot of issues with your own interests/kinks, and you've decided that means everyone else needs to be ashamed of their potential kinks, too. And at the risk of restarting the "kink at Pride" discourse, that's not really necessary. There really is nothing inherently NSFW about a fursuit in and of itself (I'm assuming it doesn't have "anatomically correct" visible or exaggerated genitals or something, since most fursuits don't). It's just being a person wearing an animal costume. As long as you're not publicly having sex while wearing it, or otherwise acting in an inappropriate way, I don't really see a problem. If you don't want to wear a fursuit in public because it feels sexual or intimate for you, that's obviously valid. But just identifying with a kink subculture while in public (like wearing a leather collar or a triskelion, while fully clothed and not doing anything sexual) is actually okay. In furries' case, you're probably more likely to get shamed or filmed/posted about for being "cringe" than you are to traumatize anyone.

The idea of the video is OK. The presentation is garbage. NEVER stretch a 4/3 ratio video, ever. It shows your lack of artistry and ignorance of response to image. Just for presenting 4/3 stretched to wide screen then shrunk in size to give better definition you get a thumbs down. If wide screen had been available when these programs were originally made they would have been filmed and imaged differently. They were made in 4/3 and the way they are presented was made by experts in using the 4/3 format to the best advantage. The old story of TV directors and cinematographers being different to their movie cousins mainly was very true, the images were shot differently because of the format difference and visual visibility intent. Not so much now with wide screen TV. But still requires different skills for some modern movies. Changing the format changes the viewer intent and focus differently to the intent the director wanted. Then on top is the fact that actors in the 1960s-80s were mostly lean and starving because they did not get many jobs that paid for food. Making them short and fat via stretched video is totally incorrect. Often the ones in successful TV shows seemed to get fatter in their second season of their own accord, as they had a food income, without any help from stretching. And No. Actors generally did not go for workouts the way many do today, thus changing their shape.
