Acne Rain posted:I do wonder if they will put a number on how many regenerations he has at some point. Moffat originally wrote this season with the plan to leave with the Christmas special so I have a feeling that "Hell Bent" is just going to un-gently caress the Doctor's regeneration limit permanently due to Gallifuckerey or whatever.

On the War Doctor/regenerations stuff, chalk me up as somebody who is glad it turned out exactly the way it did. I think it would have been very powerful to see Eccleston return to the role, and he would have played the hell out of the dark Doctor who "WATCHED IT HAPPEN"...and "MADE IT HAPPEN!!" But what we ended up getting was a whole new, extra Doctor, played by a great actor who is going to be doing a number of stories and expanding on the role. A great 50th Anniversary present! I agree with Moffat on not making it 8...he was The Idealist, and it was great he went out true to the character he'd always been. I'm not sure how Moffat would have handled the "Last Doctor" story if we'd had 9 in the 50th. I was always of the opinion that telling that story is something he really, really would have wanted to do. As it was he had to add in the 2nd 10 incarnation to make the numbers work. I'd be interested to know if he had really planned for 11 to go out as the Last and do the regeneration drama then, or if he got saddled with having to do the quick War Doctor fix and said "oh hey wait, if I just double up on 10 I can be the Producer who brings in a new regeneration cycle!" I remember when we used to debate that topic in these threads, and there were people adamant that the regeneration limit was silly and should be ignored. I always felt that it should be mined for the potential drama, though I'd have thought it could be at least a half season's arc of the Doctor dealing with being the Last. What we got worked good though, thanks in no small part to Smith's terrific performance.

So after marathoning all of the new Doctor Who I'm going back and watching the old episodes, or at least the ones that are recommended. Started the first episode and noticed that Doctor Who has a granddaughter. What's the episode where you find out what happened to her? Or is it in that 4 part episode?

I'm working through the classic ones too. I'm presently picking through season 3 but I'm actually finding many of these to be not that great.

Susan is such an unfortunate waste of a character outside of Marco Polo and sorta kinda a couple of Companion Chronicles. At least her unused potential shows up a little in the more capable Vicki (until her own terrible write off).theblackw0lf posted:Which season? Or which Doctor? Season 2's Dalek Invasion of Earth.

Oh yeah I liked Vicki but I skipped her writeoff episode because I wasn't in the mood to watch a reconstructed story. When I went back to find out what happened I was like "she fell in love? gently caress off."

In the context of Doctor Who, she is literally Cressida (in that Cressida is her), but a redeemed Cressida. She stays behind because she loves Priam's son and wants to help rebuild Troy. In terms of character motivations that's a decent one I thought?

I only reread the summary from wikipedia to find out what happened. I just don't like that the first two female companions left the show because they ~fell in love~ and that was enough to get them to decide to live in a wasteland.

The first two parts are neat because it feels like Doctor Who does The Thing; but not John Carpenter's The Thing because that's still six years out. And then you've got the rest in that guy's mansion and his goddamn pulverizer and yeesh.

It's essentially identical to the way Susan left, yes, but unlike Susan it's more supported in the text. To be honest "Fell in love" or "Tired of all the danger" account for most of the companions, with at a guess "Just written out" coming third (Dodo, Liz for example)

I just never really believed that Vicki would be comfortable living in the twelfth century given that she treated Ian and Barbara's then-contemporary times as positively ancient. Maybe she fancied the guy from her exit but that only goes so far and shifting from the 25th century to ancient Troy seems like a bit of a stretch for a guy you've known for one serial. Plus, the whole "poo poo, the female companion is leaving, we need to write in someone for her to fall in love with" that was the deal at the time.CommonShore posted:I just don't like that the first two female companions left the show because they ~fell in love~ and that was enough to get them to decide to live in a wasteland. I'd like to be able to say "eh, it was the sixties, things were still kinda rough then" but it kinda continues through the seventies with Jo and Leela and into the 80s with Peri. e: for bonus points, while I don't think Mel was romantically linked with Sabalom Glitz, who she left the Doctor to travel with, the gross 90s novels made a point of saying that her replacement companion, Ace, lost her virginity to him.

Maybe not a Time Lord though, since there has been some indication that not all Gallifreyans get to be Time Lords, and she was still school age at the time they left. How that leaves her with regard to regenerations and whatnot is anybody's guess. But she probably had two hearts.
