But you see, water was a THEME. If you don't like themes in your shows, maybe you should just go back to watching Teletubbies like a baby. Sherlock's childhood trauma kind of involved water (even though he never found out how the kid died, or he did and he repressed it, or something?) and therefore a few of the mysteries he solved also involved water, it's like poetry, they rhyme.

SEX BURRITO posted:The absolute raft of poo poo articles and stupid social media arguments it'd cause would be tedious as hell. It's bad enough for any new actor becoming doctor who and facing the army of nerds. Imagine the crap a woman would face if she took the role. The doctor regenerating into a woman has come up every time they announce the current one is leaving. There already have been rafts of poo poo articles and stupid social media arguments about the mere possibility of a woman becoming the Doctor.

After the gigantic shitfit Reddit threw over the Ghostbusters remake I'll be shocked if they ever have a female Doctor.

The misogyny thing with the new Ghostbusters was largely a red herring perpetuated by a studio and producers who knew that their product was a cinematic mouthful of smegma. The backlash was because the public could see what it was and didn't want to eat it.

There already have been rafts of poo poo articles and stupid social media arguments about the mere possibility of a woman becoming the Doctor. I remember when Tennant announced he was leaving but before Smith had been announced, there was this big double-page spread in the Daily Mail speculating on who it could be next, with guys like Paterson Joseph, Peter Capaldi, James McAvoy (since I think he was mainly known for State of Play then and hadn't gone to America to make superhero movies yet), Bill Nighy, Richard E. Grant, James Nesbitt et al. and right in the middle, a great big picture of Catherine Zeta-Jones.

I've never really watched Doctor Who, but do people who like it think Capaldi was a misstep? Seems a bit like it to me. Hard to pander to tumblr girls making homoerotic fanfiction when the main guy is a 60 year old man

Capaldi is trying to play one kind of Doctor and Moffat & Co. are trying to write for another. Specifically, Capaldi is going for the style of the first doctor who was rather remote, dry, and cerebral, and the producers are writing for a children's picnic at a home for retarded clowns. It is shameful that they are squandering Capaldi instead of tailoring the programme around his performance. The man's a world class actor who is slumming it on a BBC family programme solely because he is a huge dork who has loved Who his whole life. And instead of utilising their incredible, inexplicable good fortune, they make him sword fight with spoons and fire golden arrows thousands of feet into the air to bad touch alien ships. It's like having Pink Floyd offer to perform on your radio show and you insisting that they only play Westlife covers, with dustbin lids for instruments.

I just looked at an article of five actors who should NOT be the next Doctor: Matt Smith, Emma Watson, Mark Gatiss, Hugh Laurie and Adam Sandler. Hard to disagree with imo, great article. Imagine if Gatiss wrote himself into it though. I bet he'd love to, the prick. How about this: Ricky Gervais? And he gets to co-write as well. He goes to a planet with loads of dwarfs or just ugly people or something and teaches people not to make fun of them. It writes itself.

What a loving shame, glad I put that stuff on hold as I was busy watching other stuff but wasting Capaldi like that has killed my interest in checking the ones out entirely.

To me what makes it worse is that most of the Matt Smith run was pretty well written and functioned as an all ages programme. It's like they decided to go explicitly Cbeebies with the Capaldi run, without telling him.

He's definitely above Who and so is Capaldi really. They're better off finding a relative unknown like Matt Smith again

capaldi still has some decent to good episodes under his belt season 9's let him down more than season 8 also I finally saw the last sherlock episode wasnt as awful as the buzz made it sound, but it was definitely not as good as the 2nd episode for one thing, spend more time on the resolution and less time on the wacky opening. Euros was stopped quite sudden and yes a lot of the pre-episode build-up didnt play off, nor was it really explained

The Sherlock finale was an incredible disaster. The one bright note was the appearances of Moriarty - I know the villain intended those scenes to add to the tension, but instead whenever the klaxons started wailing and Andrew Scott showed up I started smiling and remembering better seasons past. Also, why did they title that DVD "MISS YOU" and not "BABY'S FIRST CODA" because that was the most heavy-handed thing I've seen on TV this year.

I really hope they rush out some sort of Rivers of London adaptation before he's too old to play Peter Grant.  (Given how good he's looking at 57 (!) I reckon Paul McGann still has about 20 years left before he's too old to play Nightingale.)

After watching the series of him in Russia, he's definitely a follow of the Theroux School Of Giving Them Enough Rope.

Besides that it was pretty decent, few cool bits. EDIT: Wait nevermind, thought you were talking about the Saville tribute episode. Paperhouse posted:I just looked at an article of five actors who should NOT be the next Doctor: Matt Smith, Emma Watson, Mark Gatiss, Hugh Laurie and Adam Sandler.
