Burkion posted:The big problem really is, with it, that it is pretty unearned and doesn't carry the same kind of weight and impact that the original did. I agree, it definitely doesn't land. I just don't think it was "copying" as much as an attempt to invoke it that didn't quite work.

From noted producer and writer of Doctor Who, Michele Gomez no less. Truly, the most reliable of sources. Though seriously it'd be weird if 13 wasn't into women at all. The Doctor's gender is fluid, that wouldn't do anything to their sexuality. The Master wanted to gently caress the Doctor when he had a dick and when she had a vagina.

Yeah, it sounds like Gomez was just making a joke. I just hope they don't do another Doctor/companion romance. If they want Thirteen to have a fling with Queen Isabella or something though, they should go right ahead.

Thought this might be of interest to the thead; yonks ago, in a previous incarnation of this thread, I mentioned the Doctor Who Complete History book things (broad synopses of the episodes, their production, cast/crew recollections, etc - these things) Well the publisher just had a survey up with possible ideas for other subscription collection things - among them were reissues of the Target novelisations, and a Big Finish collection with mock-up covers. Unfortunately I didn't think to take any screenshots  The other things were audiobook recordings of the classic episodes, hardback reissues of the Doctor Who comics, and a really terrible fact-file type thing.

Yup: http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-11-27/14-years-ago-steven-moffat-and-michelle-gomez-talked-doctor-who-at-a-partyquote:"She recalls and I do not – when we were all out in Montreux in 2001 and Coupling won the Silver Rose. We all partied, so drunk we could hardly speak, and I said, 'I swear I'm gonna make Doctor Who one day.' I like the fact that this conversation took place between the future showrunner and future Master."

Yeah, apparently her and Jack have been married for nearly 20 years, so they must've been together during Coupling.

corn in the bible posted:At the time I had some problems with Rusty Davis's writing, but it's grown on me over the years. I especially appreciate Eccleston's performance; its a shame he didn't really want to stick around because while Tennant is a good actor and did his material well, I don't think he really fit what the doctor had been as well as Eccleston. I guess it's always been the rule that each actor and era has a different take on things, so that's fine. Plus he got to hang out with the Best Companion, Donna Noble! Holy poo poo.

2house2fly posted:I'd more or less be willing to watch Voyage Of The Damned again for Max Capricorn, who's delightfully petty as a villain. And the moment when the Doctor is held aloft by two angel robots was very funny, although I forget if it was meant to be. I will always love K-Mart Davros  docbeard posted:Human Resources: Hahahahaha, I love it. I haven't really listened to the Eighth Doctor Adventures line before, so a lot of the revelations about Lucie were lost on me, but okay, quite often I find that stories with a big clever high concept (weaponized corporate culture in this case) try to get by on just having a big clever high concept and the whole exercise just ends up feeling a bit hollow in the end. (Some of Robert Shearman's work hits me this way, for example. Not all, but some.) I bring that up because Human Resources isn't that way at all. The characterization and storytelling is up to par with any of the best stories, and that makes all the difference. And also, while I knew going in that the Cybermen were involved, how they were involved was a genuine surprise, and a pleasant one. I am so happy whenever anybody listens to Human Resources. Everybody please listen to Human Resources!

Started listening to Classic Doctors/New Monsters Volume 2 and within the first four minutes we've got the Fourth Doctor loving about on dodgems/bumper cars while people with guns yell at him Edit: First story is really good, great lines by the Doctor and Tom nails the performance. His final lines in the episode really hit home. Jerusalem fucked around with this message at 07:00 on Jul 28, 2017 |

That's equally true for The Harvest - which happens not to spoil the story on the cover! Like, unless you get handed Human Resources part 1 on CD, or use Adblock to turn off the covers when buying it, I'm not sure how easy keeping it unspoiled is.

Only ten minutes into Spare Parts and I already want an animated version because what I'm hearing sounds fantastic Someone go send the BBC a few million dollars for a proper animated adaptation, frankly because the style they used for things like Invasion and Power of the Daleks would never properly convey the correct feeling And then an extra million for The Chimes of Midnight as well drat, I wish McGann had been given a proper chance on the revival, because his voice is on par with Capaldi's hair for sheer sexiness Guess I'll go watch Night of the Doctor again
