HD DAD posted:I forget where, but didn't someone say that Tasha Lem was supposed to be River, but they couldn't get Alex Kingston in due to scheduling problems? Who knows? The Doctor Who wiki is loving poo poo. In fact, maybe that should be our off season project? Lets make a new Doctor Who wiki that's actually loving worthwhile and includes Big Finish.

I had completely forgotten about this title card: "Oh, 'The Ambassadors' sounds like a nice episode. 'OF DEATH!'"  If you haven't seen the original, there's a musical sting when "OF DEATH" gets added to the title. It made me laugh so hard...

Jokes in the captions, ridiculously comprehensive information in the main body, and a strong editorial style guide. That's exactly the model I was thinking of. The current one is both too serious to comprehend and not detailed enough to be useful.

Oh, and keep it off Wikia. We can look into other MediaWiki platforms, but independently-run is critical to maintaining academic and aesthetic coherence.

You know, I'm realizing a lot of why I like Doctor Who is appreciation for how it even exists sometimes despite horrific production problems. It's been a hallmark of the series from basically Day One, and you can totally see where poo poo went wrong, and episodes turn out completely awful, but the sheer charm of the production crew trying their best is awesome. Then again, I'm just generally a sucker for production trivia in anything.

Speaking of aesthetic coherence I'd love to call dibs on design duties. We should make a list of people who would like to run the site, and then start planning to build it in the off season.

It needs round things. Also between CobiWann, Jerusalem, myself, and other posters we can start compiling plot summaries for all the Big Finish stuff the Data Core lacks.

So, between the three of us we've got visuals, tech and rep covered. Let's start looking at the best wiki to use, software, etc. I'll brainstorm some names and the like too, we can maybe do a vote in a weekly thread sometime in the near future.

That page links to Rape and Sexuality on the same wiki. Why do those articles even exist? Worst of all is one of the citations on that Sexuality page. It links to a 1996 Newsgroups post by Moffat, where he says that fans are utter bastards for thinking the Doctor should stay away from sex.

I've worked mainly with Wordpress (credibility instantly destroyed, I know) but I do know there are some decent wiki plugs for WP. But yes, I agree we should wait till the off-season, but that don't mean we can't start gathering content.

Ratings time for everyone to lose their poo poo over! 5.2 million overnight and a 25.4% share, 2nd for the day behind Codpiece Cowell, pretty much exactly the same as last week. For my money the most important number here is "most-watched thing on the most important day of the week for British television when you discount a completely unstoppable ratings juggernaut", but that never stopped anyone losing their heads before, so.

Lampsacus posted:We should start a subreddit to organize our ideas. Do you guys want to start a limited liability corporation for your radio show summary project? If you create a little pitch video, I can take it to some powerful investors in the media recapping industry. I'm not saying its a sure thing, but I think I can get Drovethrughosts on board. He's always expressed an interest in Doctor Who and it'd be a real coup to get an actual wikipedia editor backing this project.

HD DAD posted:Also, apparently Time went through a lot of hasty rewrites. The scene where Eleven hallucinates Amy was supposed to include Rory, the Paternosters, and Craig. Mainly I'm just sad about the lack of Rory. As much as I like Craig I'm glad we only got Amy. The regeneration was already long-winded enough, adding a whole bunch of people would have made it feel like the cheesy reunion scene in Return of the King. Also, the point was that Amy was the first person 11 met, so it was fitting that it would be her alone.
