Classic Doctor Who is way better than the new poo poo. It all went downhill when Matt Smith came on as the 3rd Doctor.

His talk show could be kind of hit-or-miss in my opinion, but if you've got Netflix you should try his stand up specials. He tells a single joke over the course of an hour, and it's both brilliant and hilarious.

Just to be clear, you have literally said that if a woman or person of color were ever cast in the role, you would be "worried that the only got the part because they weren't a white male," hence the fact that each time that you bring this up, you remind the entire thread that you have really awful opinions that are worthy of our derision.  edit: These were your exact words, to be clear: MattD1zzl3 posted:

Does anyone know if they just reduced prices for subscriptions beyond story 50? Last time I looked, I could have sworn they were about $150 for the 12 months, but they're suddenly down to almost 2/3rds of that.

Cruel Rose posted:Just listened to Night Thoughts, a Seven/Ace/Hex story. Not sure if I liked it or not... that was an odd one. A little hard to follow too. It was originally conceived as a TV story for Seven and Ace, so the original concept was very visual. That might have something to do with it. It's very Ghost Light.

MrL_JaKiri posted:Is this a joke or just a typo of Lethbridge-Stewart? Typo. I wrote that at midnight local and then went right to bed without an editing pass. poo poo happens.  Anyway, I listened to Jubilee. Strong story. Of course, knowing as I did that that it was the story that the Eccleston episode Dalek was based on I had some idea of what was involved. But not everything. The degree to which humanity had devolved into cut-rate Daleks themselves, as well as the prisoner Dalek's recognition that even total victory would lead to an empty universe with only one Dalek left alive in it was pretty powerful. When the 1903 Daleks appeared, it was surprising to be able to tell the Daleks apart by voice alone which was quite an achievement! Baker was impressive as well, being able to run the gamut from confused, angry, terrified, and even resigned to death as the 1903 Doctor. Maggie Stables gets the Rose role of sympathizing with the Dalek and does it well. The guest cast does their job well, and unlike some of the other stories I've listened to, even the really good ones like The Chimes at Midnight, Jubilee really feels like a big and wide open adventure with a cast of thousands. Which isn't to say that everything is prefect. I quibble with some of the writing, and especially wonder what the point of the 1903 Doctor was is if the Dalek was just going to blast him before the 2003 Doctor ever even finds out about him. I was execpting Colin vs Colin, dammit! Yes, it has an effect on Evelyn, and Colin does a great job with it, but even so it didn't have the impact it might have. Quibbles aside, though, this story affected me more than I thought it would. It could be childhood trauma, but the sound of a Dalek blaster made me flinch the first time I heard it in the drama. They do a good job making the Daleks terrifying again, and that's quite a feat after (at the time of the recording) forty years of The Doctor vs Daleks. It also made me uncomfortable in many places, and I paused a few times to catch my breath. I don't do that for many stories, audio or televised, and that's the mark of a powerful story indeed. Next up, the last Big Finish I've got until I get paid next, The Kingmaker!

That's the amazing thing about Shearman in my opinion, is that in a story with singing Daleks and an obvious, overblown James Bond parody, he manages to leave you feeling unsettled. It's a really traditional Doctor Who dystopia in a lot of ways, but because he finds reasons for it to be as overblown and simple as it is, it becomes extremely uncomfortable. Instead of trying to make the Daleks real, he finds a believable reason for their unreality, if that makes sense. Bicyclops fucked around with this message at 14:21 on May 6, 2014 |

You may lack the sharpened aesthetic sense to properly appreciate its precise design sensibilities, but that doesn't excuse passing such uninformed and inaccurate judgement upon what is, I assure you, the very height of sartorial elegance in more... advanced cultures than yours.

DoctorWhat posted:Hideous? Hideous? HIDEOUS!? You'll be glad to know that when I visited the Doctor Who Exhibit a few weeks back my girlfriend who really doesn't give a gently caress about the show outside of it being her boyfriends obsession immediately fell in love with that outfit more than any other Doctors. It was her favorite exhibit piece by far.

I think the patchwork nature of it probably plays better in person than on film, which might be why they didn't realise how negative the response would be until after.

It also looks considerably better in HD-quality than it does on the often-muddy video and film used at the time. It's very crisp in person, but the nice tartan patterns render down into an ugly smudge under less-than-ideal filming conditions.

Or I guess get an enormous green ball and pretend to be a Rutan, but that's a little trickier to turn into a costume.
