Hard to say at this point. This early testing was on cells in a petri dish. It will take a lot of study to convert this to a treatment on living humans and determine the best time to intervene.

No one’s saying they’re not. But Down syndrome also predisposes kids to cataracts, hearing loss, heart disease, leukemia, thyroid problems, severe constipation, and gum disease. It’s a disorder that causes a litany of health problems, and it’s not fair to saddle a person with potentially life-threatening conditions on the grounds that many with the disorder are nice people.

He had some great episodes, but the swing from Hartnell-like curmudgeon to guitar-wielding goofball didn’t really hit for me. It felt like they were trying too hard to make him seem cool. Capaldi himself is fantastic though, especially his stint on Torchwood.

I like Moffat and his obsession with kudzu time plots.

I’m on my first watch through of Old Who and gotta say, 4 is a little overrated. I’d currently rank 11 > 10 > 2 > 4. Then IDK, 12 or 15.

Sorry Tenant AND Tom Baker fans, Matt Smith is the GOAT.

Adaptation, because it’s more Nic Cage!

Seth Rogen is playing Napoleon, the dad character in the scene.

But yeah, the tone doesn’t seem right based on that clip.
