Sylvester McCoy seems alright so far through one story. The production values and overall feel of the show feel as if they reverted to the late Baker / early Davison eras. But I unironcially wish that McCoy's Doctor had stuck with the Napoleon getup.

CommonShore posted:what If it's aiming for moderate plausibility, I don't think Nicolas Cage as the Ninth Doctor is necessarily realistic. Michael Chiklis would be a more likely choice. Maybe somebody like Simon Baker as the Tenth Doctor, I don't know. Trying to think of guys who do TV more than movies.

I watched both of them recently, and I barely could pay attention to The Twin Dilemma. Timelash was at least a bit engaging and had a few moments. It may be not so good, but it wasn't tedious.

Bicyclops posted:I really like The Natural History of Fear too (and Scherzo, of course). Kromon is definitely one of the top 10 worst Big Finish stories, though, and it's good some stiff competition. As far as the Divergent Universe goes, I thought The Twilight Kingdom was worse than Creed of the Kromon, to be honest.

See I think the attempted arc of the Doctor's instability is the one interesting thing in the story- the rest is just so generic. That said I think The Dominators is worse. They cut an entire episode from that one and it's still too long.

Oh, that's timely. For a while now I've made Christmas Eve into Bad Doctor Who Night. 2014 was when I watched the copy of Warriors Of The Deep I got, and 2015 was when someone hurled The Twin Dilemma at me so I watched that on Christmas Eve as well. I've planned The Dominators for tonight because it's the one universally bad episode I've yet to witness. Will I need the Christmas liquor?

At least Twilight Kingdom I can understand the intended purpose, which is Lovecraftian horror. Kromon, on the other hand IS a Lovecraftian Horror, in that, should you think too much about its intended purpose, it will destroy your mind.

Every one of these starts with "Gene Wilder would have been interesting playing the Doctor, but is American???" and then takes off from there, with varying degrees of success.

Twilight Kingdom doesn't have the villains try to turn Charley into their brood queen, so I feel like it's better than 99.99% of Doctor Who just on principle.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Hot take; all the revival Christmas specials have been terrible and this one will be no different. A Christmas Carol is the most watchable, but it's still pretty bad and the flying sharks make me want to roll my eyes clear through the back of my head. I find it sort of amazing that Doctor Who hasn't really done superheroes before. Between the show, the books, the audios, the comics, the little cartoons on the back of candy wrappers, and the mysterious runes tattooed on Ian Levine's chest, they've done pretty much every other genre known to man. And it's not like human beings with special powers and silly clothes are foreign to Doctor Who. Mind Loving Owl fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Dec 25, 2016 |

There are very few stories in the original run that you couldn't replace the Doctor with some degree of a Sherlock Holmes/Alan Quartermain mashup and still have it function perfectly well

Possibly with Colin, but McCoy was when they started doing the Doctor-as-Super-Batman thing well.
