Numbers can definitely mean a lot of things. If I say 99 there are a ton of references that spring to mind. Plus, at first I thought 88 was a reference to that 888 thing the conservative SA off-shoot used to do. It will fade with enough time so that it becomes an innocent Back to the Future reference again, and until then, we can 86 the reference.

Surprisingly enjoyable, but the stories haven't stood out so much as it's just nice to hear David Tennant playing his excitable Doctor again. There are flashes where it feels like the RTD seasons, but I still think the tone is off a bit for the most part.

vegetables posted:I was sad to hear about Geoffrey Bayldon dying; he was really good as the Doctor in the two Big Finish plays he did. I was sad BF didn't acknowledge his passing at all, as to me he counts as A Doctor even though he's a very obscure one. Auld Mortality is definitely worth a listen if you've not heard it, although it does have a few baffling references to book continuity. A Storm of Angels was also a cool combination of 60s-era sensibilities with 80s-style genre-mixing/established universe.

This thread is my favorite place to talk about Doctor Who by far, but let's not forget some of those posts from back in the day that were extremely opposed to the idea of either a woman or a black man playing the Doctor. Big Mean Jerk posted:Nothing will ever top Ghostbusters fans hating the GB Facebook page's pictures of little girls dressed up as Ghostbusters for Halloween. The saddest loving fandom, I swear.

I'm at the stage in all this where I actively want a woman or PoC Doctor just for a very deliberately different take on the character, 'cause so far the Doctor's been twelve different white men's interpretations of the same very vague character. I mean when they inevitably cast the next Doctor as some fairly handsome late twenties-early 30s white male who's good at running and shouting I'll get back on board and be interested in what he's doing, but I don't want him right now.

I dunno, Peter Capaldi is pretty swoon-worthy with his wavey silver locks, attack-eyebrows and Scootish accent for a white cis male.

The entitlement of nerd culture these days is truly shocking.

The entitlement of nerd culture these days is truly shocking. To be fair this is because Mignola has personally shot down the third GDT film now several times due to a personal feud with that director and is now letting this version go ahead as a full reboot. Fans just wanted to see GET and Perlman finish out the trilogy.

That clip is Adams as. The next Doctor better be a woman or POC or something other than a cis white male because otherwise the show will go on a long hiatus. You can feel it in the air. Tnt.

The best thing about Nardole is that so far, there haven't been any episodes where he overstays his welcome. I feel he would get really annoying if he got any more screen time.

It's the whole thing this season has going up to now where things feel more tight and less patting itself on the back. 2-3 years ago this scene would have played out the same, except you would have had River hanging out there interjecting with "...and you believed him *shakes head pityingly*..." remarks.

They're running tours for a few weeks before filming starts on the Christmas special. They've got the TARDIS background noise playing while you're in there for extra atmosphere. They kindly ask you don't touch the console.

Some other names who have recently come up include Luke Treadaway (who was in A Street Cat Named Bob) and Sacha Dhawan (who already has a connection to Doctor Who - he played Waris Hussein, the programme's very first director, in An Adventure In Space and Time). Either could be interesting.
