If you really want to wind them up, just come in with this: "Hey, really new to this forum, just started watching Doctor Who. How do you guys feel about Rose? Wasn't what happened to her so sad? Billie Piper is definitely one of my favorite performers, I hope she makes a return to the show some day."

We shouldn't look to troll them, just have a bit of a cultural exchange. I propose sending MattDizzle.

I'm familiar with his posts (about theatre being a dead medium and how a woman should never play the Doctor because of reasons) but I couldn't remember any specific example of him talking about how wanted to beat someone up over something that happened in Doctor Who.

Davros1 posted:I've mentioned a forum I lurk at where the discuss/argue about the rumor of the missing episodes. The one thing they all seem in consensus is that EVERY single episode of Nu Who is the worst thing ever, isn't "real Who" and that EVERY episode of the classic series is the BEST THING EVER. Yes, even The Dominators. Out of curiosity, I won't mention it by name but is this a forum with a mind-numbingly stupid "you have to use your IRL name" rule?

McGann posted: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? Pink shot through a doorway… *a lie; he knew; but just for the sake of argument

While we are on the topic, are there any good non-official (as in not BBC affiliated) news sites out there. I seem to remember looking at one pretty often but I can't find it now and haven't seen anything else that was any good.

I think I'm finally starting to detect the revival's influence on Big Finish, which is not a bad or a good thing, just a thing. I think how I feel about this story overall will hinge on the ending, but so far it's been good, if a bit padded in places.

So what steps do WE have to take to get this thread to become the “official” BBC thread for Who?  And I can’t wait for the finale…in part because I can finally dive back into the audios. And no matter how upset Death in Heaven might make me, at least I can take comfort in being able to scream “drat it, Adric!”

The Master doesn't actually have her own time machine, she's just been hiding in The TARDIS the whole time.

I sort of had the impression that her TARDIS was just inside St. Paul's, with the front doors opening to the inside of the TARDIS - hence why the internal space with the Cybermen and the lab and whatnot didn't look like they should be the inside of the cathedral.

Acne Rain posted:"The doctor's real name should never be revealed to the audience" I legitimately do not particularly care if they do this, especially since future writers can essentially just ignore it if they call him, say, Theta Sigma. How often do they bring up his half-human side, you know? It also matter extraordinarily little.
