'The Master sexually assaulted The Doctor' is sort of definitely canon now, although that one scene in The End of Time Part Two already went most of the way there.

The phrase "girl Doctor" made me think of young Amelia Pond as the Doctor and I kinda really want to see it happen now.

Donna would've gotten to be the woman doctor if they hadn't decided that that was too interesting and wrote her out instead.

This was spectacular. This season is just firing on all cylinders, both big reveals landed really well and all the setting work (a.k.a. elaborate misdirection) was really atmospheric too. Capaldi and Coleman are total dynamite together in like, every scene they share.

It's kind of sad that Coleman is leaving after finally hitting her stride, because wow has she been amazing this season. On the other hand, it looks like unless they poo poo the bed in the final episode she'll be going out on a high.

I wouldn't be surprised if she left after the Christmas special (in fact I sort of think that she will), but I also wouldn't be shocked if she stuck it out one more year.

I have no idea, the only casting news I know about is what drips through into this thread. I had just assumed from the things said in other peoples posts that she'd confirmed she was leaving, if it was just a rumor then I guess I'll go into the episode with no clue where the character might end up, which is nice.

It's been the usual nonsense sources that started the rumor, and Capaldi and Coleman have actually actively refused to comment one way or another specifically so that everyone can speculate.  It would make sense that she's leaving and she probably is after Christmas, but we still have lots of room to guess!

So I guess after thinking about it, the one question I still have is this: who the hell is Chris Addison supposed to be? Just another Time Lord that's in cahoots with the Master? Or some villain in particular? His name plate in his office said "SEB", but I was wondering the entire time if that was just an acronym for something. Watch him turn out to be yet another version of the Master or something weird. Gordon Shumway fucked around with this message at 02:41 on Nov 4, 2014 |

He COULD be another Time Lord or even the Master's human companion (in another warped reflection of the Doctor/Companion dynamic ala Harold and Lucy Saxon) or some kind of Cyber-Control program or something. For my money, I'm betting he's simply an artificial construct of the Matrix Slice, an interactive simulation that manages the biodata/personalities being stored inside.

Doctor Spaceman posted:We've seen him and Missy in the same room, which is something I'm still curious about. It's a Matrix Slice, which means Time Lords are able to go in and out of it (as seen in The Deadly Assassin with the actual proper Matrix) so there's no reason the Master can't hook herself up when she wants to and go inside. Whether Seb is similarly plugged in or just a program remains to be seen.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Wait, this is a thing? I've been to three weddings the last year and a half, and each time they've done the same 5 dances. And now I find out I could have been doing the Time Warp instead? I think it's a generational thing. It seems like a pretty standard dance for older people. My folks got married back in the mid eighties and for people their age and maybe a little younger, it was a pretty standard reception dance. No wedding I've been to has had it though. Shugojin posted:Girl Doctor would be a terrible idea because the writers would be unable to just roll with it. There would be terribly awkward jokes about it shoehorned into the worst of places. The reason I don't really dig the idea of a female Doctor is that you've got two choices: Either you ignore the change entirely, or you do this with the half-assed jokes. You can't actually adequately address the Doctor's feelings about his body because, well, that kind of drama is not within the show's wheelhouse. It's not going to try to deal with dysphoria in a substantial way, nor should it. So either the awkward jokes and half-assed acknowledgment make light of gender dysphoria and kinda colour the whole arc without being able to commit to it, or you just ignore it, which is kind of the best case but still seems uncomfortable and awkward to me.

There's no reason the Doctor couldn't grapple with his identity changing if that occurred. He does that with many of his other incarnations, after all, including this one. Or you could just have him (her) not be bothered or interested or even understand why other people are shocked that he's changed, which would be very in keeping with the abstract character displayed by several of his selves. ("I always say they should put it in swimming pools." "Why?" etc).

So w/r/t to the toxxipation thread, this past episode and Flatline have made a couple direct references to the dominance games that the Doctor plays with others in order to make sure he gets to be in charge of every situation. Midnight was a really interesting episode because of the way his authority breaks down entirely, and I don't think that's a very common occurrence. Just something interesting I wanted to mention but couldn't really do in the Toxxipation thread.

I fail to see how "oh poo poo I shot my girlfriend lol thought she was a robber" (not a loaded caricature at all) really covers a soldier in wartime firing at perceived enemy combatants, even when he does so in a reckless manner? Either that or we're both intercommunicating, either way you had me double checking what I posted originally, and double checking the scene. I gotta argue about random points in a dumb Danny Pink storyline because I keep checking the thread to hear Dark Eyes 3 news ...

I was talking to a friend at work today who seems to think that Clara's a goner. I doubt it, but I do think she'll stop traveling with him soon and that Danny is dead for real. He asked how their grandchild could exist then so I countered that Clara must already be pregnant, she and Danny have already been loving. We stopped talking at that point and I mulled it over in my head, then went back awhile later and said that that might be why she leaves the Doctor, can't travel around having adventures while pregnant! At that point he immediately brought up the line about her hormones going wild, which I had entirely forgotten. I honestly think that thats how it will be, everything fits with only Danny's outcome being a potential surprise.

I can't wait for the arc where CyberDanny may be cheating on Clara with that Cyberwoman from Torchwood. (It was a whacky misunderstanding, of course)

Is there anywhere or anyone who is able to summarise the current situation about the rumours regarding more missing episodes that isn't overly-speculative or conspiratorial and is actually easily digestible for someone who hasn't been following them for a long time? I've ducked into a few threads in other places about this and have found the arguments pretty much impossible to follow.

I assumed the nethersphere was a physical place inside the building, and the building was the master's TARDIS. The slice thing was holding the consciousness in the dead's new bodies until they decide to be cybermen. (That's what I get for watching with a 2 year old in the room) The data slice being a virtual world and the building being just a building makes more sense. I'm glad because I want the Master to have a telephone TARDIS.

Oh yeah, I definitely expected them to emerge not into London, but from the Master's TARDIS, since I reasoned one place the Nethersphere could fit into easily would be a TARDIS. Although that would have meant materializing into the Master's TARDIS with the Doctor's TARDIS and I have a recollection that that's established as being a Never Cross the Streams thing to do. Edit: I looked this up and looks like I indeed need to watch Logopolis
