I remember when the doctor was cool. All this guy does is cry and run away from everything. He’s barely been in the past two episodes. From someone how has literally watched and/or listened to every episode of Doctor Who since it’s inception, this is beyond horrible. I don’t care about his race, I don’t care about his sexual orientation, but the Doctor used to be able to keep his head in the game, no matter what happened because he could always see something that the rest of us couldn’t. For whatever reason, this Doctor can’t do that, and because of that, he loses a lot of what makes the Doctor great.

yes, just watched the half hour special on the making of the episode, and it was explained there. The ep. still looked “phoned in” though. And I had no idea about the racist theme until i watched the making of the ep. I just thought Lindy didn’t want to go with them…but i had kind of tuned out of the story by then.

hellsingfan01 1 points 8 hours ago. (Contains Spoilers)

While the episode was good with the Lindy character being a good lead character what really let the episode was the fact that Russel T. Davies made the episode about race when everything that’s shown to us on screen even the fact that Lindy is rich shows that it’s not a race issue as Lindy wouldn’t want to go with Ruby and The Doctor not because The Doctor is black because of the fact that she sees them as being poorer then what she is and that’s really it but Ncuti Gatwa does turn in a phenomenal performance in the episodes gut wrenching final scene tho.

This doctor is horrible! NO doctor would choose running as a first option, and they sure as heck wouldn’t cry, unless one of their companions was leaving or dead. Hopefully they either toughen him up or find a tougher one to replace him. Ruby, on the other hand, is awesome! I like her as a companion.

Amen! Running, crying, what happened to the Doctor, he’s become a scared little kid. I honestly don’t really care about all the other stuff, it’s just the fact that the Doctor’s turned into a whinny, scared little b#$ch is what is turning me off.

Bugs and Thugs (Short 1954) (1954)
random000 2 points 5 hours ago.

Friz Freleng liked all the mobster films done by Warner Brothers as a place to get ideas from to make toons, so he designed a sawed off smack talking dwarf with a monotone voice in big hat that took cues from Warner contract player James Cagney. He called the little gangster Rocky & appointed him head of Crime Inc. then made some toons putting him with moronic henchmen.

The 1st was Golden Yeggs with Daffy Duck, then 1953 Rocky was paired with stupid goon called Nicky featuring Sylvester going after Tweety. This toon however puts Rocky with his best known sidekick, the extra-stupid Mugsy. Warren Foster wrote this remake of 1946 Rackateer Rabbit where the two criminals are making a run for it after robbing a bank. Problem is that Bugs Bunny is in the taxi also & one of Bugs favorite hobbies is messing with self-appointed bad guys who drive Acme cars.

Music director Carl Stalling retired, so this is the very 1st toon that his protege Milt Franklyn takes over completely.

The animation team represents themselves as Local 839 in this toon. They are Charlie Brown director Manny Perez, Ken Champin, Virgil Ross & director Arthur Davis, who himself would do work with Warner all the way into the 1980’s. Pink Panther director Hawley Pratt did the really cool layouts. Irv Wyner did the backgrounds. Award winning Treg Brown did sound & editing.

Catty Cornered (Short 1953) (1953)
random000 2 points 5 hours ago.

Friz Freleng was fond of the Warner mobster films & thought it would make for some nice toons to use some gangsters, so he created the shifty tough talking no-nonsense dwarf with a big hat, Rocky & his organization Crime Inc. In this story written by Warren Foster, the little criminal is paired with one his idiot henchmen, Nick. The two steal a rare yellow bird named Tweety. In a Looney Tune, it’s never that simple however. Rocky & Nick have competition in the form of a big sloppy tuxedo cat named Sylvester who wants the bird just as much as they do.

30 years later this toon is used as part of 1981 Friz Freleng’s Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie.

Ralph James is the Narrator & Mel Blanc does all the other voices.

Music Director Carl Stalling uses his Warner punctuations as well as quotes from Warren’s At Your Service Madame, If Someone Had Told Me, America Speaks & none other than Sousa’s The Washington Post.

Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century (1953)
random000 1 points 5 hours ago.

Duck Dodgers is number 4 of the 50 Greatest Cartoons Of All Time. Besides some other appearances, it was shown before the original Star Wars film & it was in Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. Finally in 2003 Daffy got his own tv show as Duck Dodgers that was so popular it ran for about 3 years in one of the best animated series.

If anyone’s ever seen the old Buck Rogers comics & serial cliff-hanger films, this is the toony equivalent. This was made a couple of years after a Buck Rogers tv show happened, and it was made by the legendary Chuck Jones team that included Michael Maltese as writer, Ben Washam & Maurice Nobel provided most of the look & feel with the character sets & backgrounds which have a really distinctive style that’s easy to spot. The great Carl Stalling provides all the musical cues, quoting memorably from lots of stuff including Powerhouse which is in lots of Warner Bros cartoons & is known as a toony tune.

We grew up with the Gil Gerard Buck Rogers that had Erin Gray & Pamela Hensley in the 80’s. It’s not wacky like this, but oddly, that one does have Mel Blanc in it. Yep.

Here Mel voices Daffy & Porky as a comedy team that might be sort of Laurel & Hardy like. It’s similar to the comedy the two characters did in the Errol Flynn Robin Hood spoof where Porky gets to poke fun at what a fool Daffy is. Mel also serves as the then unnamed Marvin The Martian in his 2nd toon appearance and a scientist.

The Hasty Hare (Short 1952) (1952)
random000 2 points 5 hours ago*.

Long before he was ever called Marvin, he was called The Commander of the X2 space vessel from Mars. He’s a pretty apocalyptic little alien that often brings his green Martian dawg K-9 with him, complete with high-top sneakers. Marvin’s mouth is never drawn, so the animation is very expressive whenever the little guy says anything. In this toon by Chuck Jones, Marvin makes his debut in a story written by Michael Maltese.

When he’s not wanting to utterly destroy the Earth, then he’s wanting to abduct Earthlings. From the time his space ship lands, he’s on a collision course with a wisecracking Earthling from Brooklyn named Bugs Bunny whose favorite hobby is to get the upper hand on those who feel the need to mess with him. The colors are perfect, the gags are great & Bugs is at his mischievous best. Zen to the max.

Besides the original uncut version of this toon, another version cuts out scenes of Frisby.

Music director Carl Stalling composed a very funny yet fitting music score that even quotes from Raymond Scott’s legendary Powerhouse (made famous by Stalling’s use of it in cartoons) and Boy Scout In Switzerland, Sammy Cahn’s Fiddle Dee Dee, Turkey In The Straw, and California Here I Come.

Duck! Rabbit, Duck! (1953)
random000 1 points 5 hours ago.

These three classics done by Chuck Jones & written by Michael Maltese are comedy gold since they’re heavy on scripting gags rather than visual & it’s the 1st time Bugs & Daffy are paired together as a comedy team:

1951 Rabbit Fire, 1952 Rabbit Seasoning & 1953 Duck! Rabbit Duck!
These are known as The Hunting Trilogy. There are two versions of this toon. The original, and then the censored one. This trilogy is also featured in 1989 Fifty Years of Bugs Bunny in 3 1/2 Minutes.

Mel Blanc as both Bugs & Daffy might seem to be on the same team against Elmer Fudd played by Arthur Quirk Bryan, but Daffy isn’t so daffy anymore & he’s more of a scheming conniving antagonist to Bugs, constantly trying to sell him out to save his own skin. It might be Goat Season, Dirty Skunk Season, Pigeon or even Mongoose Season, but everyone knows it’s really Baseball Season.

Music director Carl Stalling uses quite a bit of punctuation & whimsy in this musical score which includes some french songs.

Chuck Jones’ animation staff at Termite Terrace are Ken Harris, Rick Thompson, Lloyd Vaughan, Ben Washam & director Abe Levitow who did MGMs The Phantom Tollbooth, UPAs Mr. Magoo & Le Fair Mewsette (Gay Purr-ee) with Judy Garland which was written by Dorothy & Chuck Jones. Abe later did Raggedy Ann & Andy with Roger Rabbit creator Rick Williams and then Curiosity Shop with Chuck Jones. The very distinctive layouts are by the one & only Maurice Noble. The backgrounds are done by Philip DeGuard. Sound & editing are done by Treg Brown. This is the absolute peak of Warner Brothers animation under the leadership of studio boss Ed Selzer.

Daffy Duck's Quackbusters (1988)
random000 1 points 6 hours ago.

Daffy Duck’s Quackbusters is a Ghostbusters type of story centered around Daffy but using classic Looney Tunes from The Golden Age of animation. There are new sequences made that knit the entire story together, which runs about 80 minutes.

The story is an expansion on the 1948 short called Daffy Dilly, so that is but one short that is featured in this compilation since it’s the whole take-off point. In that toon Chuck Jones perfected an ill-tempered screwball greedy Daffy who hears that a rich guy named J.B. Cubish hasn’t laughed in ages, so he’s offered a million bux to anyone that can get him to laugh before he kicks the bucket. Daffy is greedy, so why not?

The entire premise of the story takes the toon fan on ride that weaves Daffy The Paranormalist on an adventure that is compiled of both newer sequences along with the Golden Age toons. There were a handful of these feature-length compilation movies done, and this is one of the better ones. Night Of The Living Duck kicks the whole thing off, which is notable since these two projects are the very last Looney Tunes that legendary voice artist Mel Blanc lent his considerable talents to before his death in 1989.

The other classic shorts used in this feature length toon are: 1951 The Prize Pest, 1952 Water, Water Every Hare, 1960 Hyde and Go Tweet, the hilarious classic from 1954 Claws for Alarm, 1963 Transylvania 6-5000, 1961 The Abominable Snow Rabbit, 1953 Punch Trunk, and 1955 Jumpin’ Jupiter. The Duxorcist from 1987 is also used. Since these classic toons are used to tell a newer story, they’re not just merely edited in, but the lines are redone to fit the narrative of this story. The writers are Michael Maltese, Tedd Pierce & John Dunn.

Besides Mel, the actors from the classic toons are Ben Frommer as The Count & Julie Bennett as the double-headed buzzard. Actress B.J. Ward is Melissa Duck. Roy Firestone is The Announcer, and Mark Kausler does Egghead.

Since no competent musical directors could be found to do something as complex as providing sound synced music score for a cartoon, they just took the classic work of Carl Stalling & Milt Franklyn to get the job done. Shame shame shame that art died with them.

Why do I have a feeling that the guy with the glasses that seems to be running everything in the background that has a collection of stuff, like Sisko’s baseball, Geordie’s visors, and a few other things, and named himself as ‘Agent (can’t remember now)’ from the Enterprise, can be only Odo? Guy was a shapeshifer, and was for all intents and purposes immortal, so he could easily have blended into Starfleet for all of those centuries, and would up holding positions of trust and power. And it would explain the collections…

Water, Water Every Hare (1952)
random000 1 points 6 hours ago.

Who doesn’t like The Gossamer? Big guy created by Chuck Jones, Michael Maltese & Bob Givens, seemingly made of nothing but lots of orange hair with crazy serving as his only means of expression while he runs around in stylish yet practical high top sneakers? The only thing wrong with The Gossamer is that he was only used twice in Golden Age toons.

He’s always with a mad scientist. The 1st time around in 1946 Hare Raising Hare, he was with a Peter Lorre nutbar scientist. This time around he’s with a menacing Maurice Tarplin Strange Dr. Weird sounding green big brained scientist that calls him Rudolph or Monster & he’s tasked with capturing Bugs Bunny since the scientist wants a brain for his giant robot creation. Bugs is naturally not amused with this idea in the slightest.

After this The Gosssamer disappears for 30 years & doesn’t pop up again until 1980 Duck Dodgers And The Return Of The 24½th Century, then again 15 years later in 1995 Carrotblanca, which is a good toon. Again in Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries. Then about 16 years later in 2011 on The Looney Tunes Show, The Gossamer appears again, but Witch Lezah (Witch Hazel) is his mom & Daffy Duck is his… surrogate big brother mentor, haha. Not right. Currently, he is found on Looney Tunes Cartoons. However, this toon was used as part of 1959 Hare-Abian Nights & also the 1989 Quackbusters story.

John T. Smith is the Mad Scientist. Mel Blanc does all the other voices.

Looney Tunes music director Carl Stalling uses his own What’s Up Doc as well as classical quotations from Brahm’s Lullaby, Rossini’s William Tell Overture, Chopin’s Raindrop Prelude & hahaha… How Dry I Am… of course…

Sahara Hare (Short 1955) (1955)
random000 1 points 6 hours ago.

Great Horny Toads! This tale is directed by Friz Freleng and written by Warren Foster. Bugs Bunny makes a wrong turn in Albuquerque which sends him clear to The Sahara Desert rather than Miami Beach where he runs into Yosemite Riff-Raff Sam who wants to pursue Bugs for trespassing & getting footy prints all over his desert.

Gags found here are also found in 1949 Frigid Hare, 1959 Knighty Knight Bugs, 1959 Hare-Abian Nights, 1963 Devil’s Feud Cake & also the one where Bugs plays Red Hot Ryder.

Carl Stalling’s protege Milt Franklyn provided the musical score. This is the 1st toon to feature his version of The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down a.k.a. The Looney Tunes Theme Song, which was originally done by Stalling. Milt’s version would be used until 1964.

Freleng’s Termite Terrace animation team are Ted Bonnicksen, Gerry Chiniquy and director Arthur Davis. Layouts are by DePatie-Freleng Pink Panther artist Hawley Pratt. Backgrounds are by Irv Wyner who also did Woody Woodpecker for Walter Lance, then also Disney and Chuck Jones. With Chuck’s Sib Tower 7 production team he worked on Rikki Tikki Tavi, Horton Hears A Who, The Phantom Tollbooth, some of the best Tom & Jerry toons ever as well as other Dr. Seuss specials.

Given that it has a 7/10 on IMDb, 84% on RT, 86% on Google and 7.3/10 on TVMaze coupled with, as I already stated, top 10 ranking for the last 3 weeks among streaming shows, the only thing illogical is that it has a lower rating here. I’m sure that has a lot to do with the demographics of users here, as evidenced by how many cry about how woke a Star Trek show is even though it has always been the case. Was it the most successful or best Star Trek show, no, but I didn’t make that claim.

BTW, episode count is irrelevant as no shows on streaming sites get 20+ episodes a season like shows used to.

AmieWarren 1 points 7 hours ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

This run seemed especially short, because it had so many fewer episodes than the previous series.

That was a strange ending. Flying off with no crew, when she just said she would send the crew back to headquarters (?) and leave the Discovery out wherever they were taking it. The reunion shot was sort of weird, too. It had to be just the cast celebrating the last show, but it didn’t really make sense in the context of what had just happened.

And what about the spore drive? Are they just going to abandon the spore drive somewhere out in space for anyone to steal? I guess they would remove it first, but what would they do with it? Enquiring minds need to know!

From what was said, I’m hoping the Discovery will be rebuilt, updated and eventually her son will take it over, but you never know what these writers are going to do. All I can say is that I loved Discovery and really want to see the ship at least continue on in the saga somehow. It was the best ship to date, IMHO, with the best crew since TNG.

Some of the best toons don’t have much dialogue at all. That doesn’t provide much work for a master of voices like Mel Blanc, but it really shows just how great writer Michael Maltese and Chuck Jones’ Termite Terrace animation unit really are, coupled with great selective musical synchronicity by Milt Franklyn. The timing of everything was worked out on musical bar graph sheets down to the precise mathematical moment. The scripting, animation, musical punctuation, sound effects & editing had to come come together perfectly, or the toons just wouldn’t have anything to deliver.

The premise of the Ralph Wolf & Sam Sheepdog toons is simple enough. These two are blue collar buddies that punch a clock in the morning to be adversaries throughout the day as Sam guards sheep & Ralph tries to steal them. Sam’s job is pretty easy going, but Ralph expends a lot of effort & failed ingenuity just to find out that Sam really can see through that face full of hair covering his eyes. When Sam gets Ralph, the outcome isn’t pretty, but it’s all in a days work.

Music orchestrator Milt Franklyn takes cues from his mentor Carl Stalling & uses the Big Band Swing tune The Five O’Clock Whistle as well as the classical Spring Song by Mendelsohn. Since Ralph & Sam arrive to work in their own cars in this one, he also uses In My Merry Oldsmobile, haha.

Studio boss Ed Selzer retired, so the producer for a short time at Termite Terrace was John Burton. Chucks’s animation unit is Ken Harris, Rick Thompson & Ben Washam. Maurice Noble did the layouts in his own easily recognizable style & Philip DeGuard did the backgrounds in his own equally distinctive style. Treg Brown always did sound & editing in his own award winning style regardless of the different animation units at Termite Terrace.
