Andor and Doctor Who: A Day for Season 2 Trailers

Yesterday was a day for season 2 trailers, because we got two of them for highly anticipated shows. What a joyful cornucopia of content! I’m excited for both of these shows, and both trailers are solid.

First up is Andor, which has another full trailer. It doesn’t live up to the fun and energy of the first trailer we got a month ago. But another look at Andor is good by me.

Looks good! And looks the same as we’ve seen. Looks like all of the characters come back, and tensions rise, and the Rebellion takes shape. Should be a nice season of political intrigue in the Star Wars universe, which is what we all want to see.

Andor season 2 comes to Disney+ on April 22.


Next up is another trailer for the new season of Doctor Who! We had a first trailer earlier this month, and I think this one is even stronger.

This looks great! Look at the effects. Look at the action. And we get a stronger sense of the overall story. I really dig how this looks and can’t wait to watch! Ncuti Gatwa is a great Doctor, and I hope he has all sorts of upcoming adventures.

Doctor Who season 2 comes to Disney+ on April 12.

More Doctor Who is Coming

Like a lot of other good TV, the next season of Doctor Who is right around the corner. It’s so close, we’ve got a trailer for the Doctor’s latest adventures, and new companion!

Looks fun to me! I very much enjoyed Ncuti Gatwa’s first season as the Doctor and I’m definitely looking forward to more. The gossip sites keep ragging about him leaving early or the show getting cancelled, but I think both are overblown and not likely to happen. Doctor Who is good TV, and I like the bigger budget that Disney+ can provide. I’m also looking forward to the new companion, played by Varada Sethu.

It all looks great to me! More Doctor Who is on the way April 12.

Let’s Take Another New Look at the Wild New Season of Doctor Who!

The next season of Doctor Who is promising to be a wild one. New Doctor! Returning showrunner! Something of a fresh start, now on Disney+, with Disney money backing all of the special effects! It’s gonna be so much fun, so let’s look at another trailer they released over the weekend.

This all looks good to me. There’s so much going on in this trailer, so much zaniness, and I think that’s for the best. This is gonna be a season of fun and adventure, which we all love! There are some dramatic bits too, and we’ll see how new Doctor Ncuti Gatwa handles the dramatic stuff.

Anyway, it looks like fun! The new season kicks off on May 10.

I Don’t Know Fashion, But I Do Know Doctor Who

I am way behind on Doctor Who. I haven’t seen the last season and any of the specials that came after, so I haven’t even seen Jodie Whittaker’s regeneration yet! Ideally, I’ll be able to catch up when it’s all on Disney+ in a year or two. That being said, I still get Doctor Who news in my various feeds, and they revealed 15th Doctor Ncuti Gatwa’s official outfit last week.

I do not understand fashion. It looks fine. I guess it looks like a Doctor outfit. But fuzzy orange jumper underneath that brown checkered suit? I just don’t get fashion. But then I’ve been wearing the same cargo pants/button up look since high school. So by all means, I am really bad at this.

But Gatwa looks fine, as does his sidekick, Ruby Sunday, played by Millie Gibson. Here’s hoping for some quality Doctor Who again!

Surprise, Surprise, There’s Going to be a New Doctor Who!

Jody Whittaker’s time as The Doctor is coming to an end at the end of the year, and now the BBC has announced her replacement: Ncuti Gatwa. Hooray for him!

It’s pronounced “Shooty”

Gatwa will, obviously, be the first Black male to portray The Doctor, and that’s perfectly fine by me. I am definitely not one of those losers whining about The Doctor no longer being a straight, white male. Get out of here with that nonsense.

I don’t know anything about Gatwa and I never watched his main show, Bad Education. So when he shows up, his acting style is going to be a surprise for me! Which is pretty much the exact same thing from most of the other Doctor actors. I’d never heard of Matt Smith before, right?

Anyway, I’m a season behind on Jodie Whittaker, because I agree with everybody else that it’s just not very good. And none of it is Whittaker’s fault. She’s great! But she didn’t get any good episodes or good material. Which is a damn shame! She’s got one special left at the end of the year that will include this regeneration.
