Jerusalem posted:The Rapture is really bad. REALLY bad. As a direct follow-up to Colditz it is ESPECIALLY bad. CobiWann posted:1. Jerusalem is right. This story sucks. Sucks. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. Rochallor posted:This story really is a turd. This is one of the few Doctor Who stories of any format to come close to consensus. It is one of the only Big Finish releases that I can say I actively hate (The TAO Connection is another). This one, though, really affects me because of its treatment of Ace. And it infuriates me. Out of all companions, Ace is the only one actively portrayed as the Doctor's protege. She knows there's no place for her at home. She's seen wrongs and needs to right them. She has a... fondness for pyrotechnics. If there's a young Doctor in the making, it's her. Episodes like Ghost Light are specifically based around the Doctor arranging lessons. But for Lidster, being a companion has to be the worst thing imaginable - it's one of his recurring themes. Only damaged and broken people with a death wish choose the travel with the Doctor. When Ace meets her Surprise Brother, she has a meltdown because if only she'd known about him growing up, she could have been a "normal" person, "with a boyfriend!" even. Ace. Who stayed overnight in the rubble of a friend's home to keep away looters after it had been firebombed by racists. Ace, who's spent her entire life, long before she met the Doctor, fighting anyone who uses a position of authority to do wrong. I know it's supposed to be about her getting over the the events of Colditz, but it goes way beyond that and shits all over the concept of the character. gently caress Joseph Lidster.

I don't know if they think it's "edgy", or "profound", but a lot of them like writing post-travels life with the Doctor as the worst thing ever. Jo's life in the BBC 8 Doctor novel "Genocide". Ace, in the NAs. And Dodo. Poor Dodo.

Ace, in the NAs. Jo got off lightly! At least she didn't end up dead, maimed or irrevocably traumatised(or all three, if it's a Jim Mortimore novel). Not like the terrible fates that befell Liz Shaw, Mel and Dodo. But yeah, it did seem like gratuitous companion-torture was a game of one-upmanship for the NA writers. Lidster seems to've only taken in the "misery porn" element of those stories and used it as the basis of everything he's ever done. My feeling is that the "edgy" NA Ace was very much a product of the prevailing trend at the time(in comics mainly) of taking existing properties and make them DARK and GRITTY and GRRR. I do actually wonder if the decision was made to age her up because some of the stuff involving the character in the early books was decidedly uncomfortable, given that she was supposed to be a teenager at that point. John Peel's "Genesys" was the worst offender(and also happened to be the first one to see publication, unfortunately), you can practically hear the author's heavy-breathing at times.

This goes nowhere and has no pay-off whatsoever

Maybe DoctorDonna is the Hybrid and this will end up being the greatest season arc ever.TinTower posted:Can someone please explain the "Clara is dead" theory to me? I don't get it. In the second story the Doctor acted like he had already hosed with time to save Clara, also something about the cloister bell ringing around her I can't remember. I don't remember if there was anything in the Viking one, and in the most recent story he made that remark that it was "like she was dead for a month" and "I'll be the judge of time". He's really just been acting extremely wonky around her in general, like he's hiding or afraid of something. Or avoiding something he knows has to happen to her eventually. Somebody can probably lay this out better, I'm not recalling all the evidence with total clarity. Linear Zoetrope fucked around with this message at 12:42 on Nov 14, 2015 |

TinTower posted:Can someone please explain the "Clara is dead" theory to me? I don't get it. Someone else will post the long version, and I know they already have earlier in the thread. Basically the theory is that the Doctor has seen Clara die, but unlike when he saw Amy and Rory's gravestones and decided that it was definitely 100% impossible to see them again because shut up that's why, he's going back and having adventures with her despite knowing that she's eventually going to head to her doom. This is based on him looking at Clara slightly more wistfully than usual, him being more willing to bend or break the rules of time, and the occasional odd comment he throws out there, like how he said he spent a month thinking Clara was dead. For my money, the first episode makes a LOT more sense if the Doctor's seen Clara die right before it. He sees that, sends off his will, goes to party for about a month, makes a big scene that none of his time-traveling enemies (such as davros) can miss, and waits for one of them to show up to kill him. 11 moped on a cloud because he felt that he couldn't see Amy anymore, but she did live a full life with Rory so he was just depressed, not suicidal. The Doctor in the first episode of the season really seems to have given up on fighting and living, and so far we haven't really seen an explanation for that aside from "Davros remembers that you once left him to die." I mean, the shame could have driven him to basically giving up, and that's how the episode was framed, but you never know. We're coming up on the last few episodes of the series, and it wouldn't surprise me if Clara dies at the end of episode 10, and eps 11 and 12 show the Doctor interacting with past Clara as we've seen through the season after he gave saving her his best shot and couldn't. Missy may pop in with a new threat and claim (possibly truthfully) that she can save or did save Clara, but the Doctor won't see her again unless he stays out of Missy's way, or I dunno, Missy'll be doing something or other for sure. So yeah, this turned out to actually be the pretty drat long version. The short version is it's typical wild speculation about Doctor Who stuff.

The Doctor was also playing Amazing Grace in the TARDIS in the first Zygon episode, which could be a clue in a "Paul is dead" sorta way.

Basically, there's enough stuff that would make more sense (or different sense) if Clara was dead that it wouldn't be a cop-out if she was, but not enough that it's an obvious plot point right now. It's on the table, it hasn't been refuted, and it's an interesting idea. That's more or less it.

There was also that promo pic this season that was a riff on the Abbey Road cover, with Jenna in Paul's place barefoot, with a modified license plate that used to play into the "Paul is dead" theory.
