Well Capaldi isn't wasting any time jumping into the convention circuit... https://regenerationwho.com/guests/ That's a hell of a lineup, not just of Doctors. I'd go just to listen to Janet Fielding and Mark Strickson participate in a panel!

TinTower posted:"Hello! I'm the Doctor! Basically… run." I don't like that actual line, but the sequence leading up to it (especially the little montage of all the previous Doctors with Eleven stepping out through it) is sheer brilliance. Just ending with "Hello. I'm the Doctor." would have been much more effective, and would still have set up the running theme of the Doctor's legend becoming too big and frightening.

Split the difference. "Hello, I'm the Doctor. Basically ..." then the Atraxi eye peaces out, and then the Doctor gives a little smirk and a scoff in the brilliant way only Matt Smith could do.

I'm personally a bigger fan of "I'm definitely a madman with a box," followed by the Matt Smith laugh.

The Next Doctor and the scene in the Day of the Doctor where we got the advance peak at Capaldi's eyebrows makes me think how great it would be if they pulled that off on a larger scale. Very secretly cast the next Doctor and have him her show up 5 or 6 episodes before the end of the current Doctor's tenure but don't say who they actually are. Then when we get to the regeneration it's like HOLY poo poo.

As it is they didn't even film Whittaker's part of the regeneration until the day after her reveal, because if she were randomly seen around the Roath Lock studio in Cardiff beforehand, everyone would have known something was up.

Rhyno posted:But it would be so much fun! If I were a terminally ill actor of renown, I'd want to film a cameo for a TV show that I anticipated running a long time and at the same time secretly film an additional scene for the end of the series, so that years after everyone thought I was gone, I'd have one last surprise scene, like I was coming back from the grave to say goodbye. No one will ever pull it off, though. Too many people involved in filming even a single scene; one of them would talk.

Actually, giving them a normal role would probably lessen this. You film the new Doctor's regeneration scene in secret while giving them a mundane supporting role in another episode, they've got an alibi for being around. Keep the staff for the regeneration scene small, trustworthy and tight-lipped as possible, which they have done before, and most of that work is done; some people might leak (although that's why you're picking trustworthy staff), but by the time they get a chance to the rumors about the next Doctor will be flying anyway.

That's basically what they did with Catherine Coulson in Twin Peaks.

Or how about just a Bill & Ted series where the Doctor gets out of scrapes with a bit of luck here or there (like reaching for the key just out of arms reach, and he JUST manages to get it, or a bullet is deflected from a passing car just at that second), and the last episode is her going back to set up ALL of those things to ensure she is at the present spot to stop the daleks or whoever in the last episode. You then see her push the key, or drive the car that gets the bullet, whatever. And you could Futurama it by going back and seeing a lock of hair here, or a shadow there.

It wouldn't be that hard really. Just the way Eleven's first season worked but MORE SECRETS. Edit: Has there been an update on the Heaven Sent/Hell Bent soundtrack release?

Soothing Vapors posted:"Basically... run" works for me mostly because of the way Matt Smith's face goes from pleasantly goofy to threatening in the span of the sentence Agreed, but I think the threat starts at the "there have been others, what happened to them?" The whole scene is just wonderful. The Doctor slowly helping the giant eyeball in front of him realize just how hard they stepped in it. E: not the same scene, but I'll always have respect for Smith's reading of "What...? Did you think no one was watching?" line. MisterBibs fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Jan 20, 2018 |

MisterBibs posted:Agreed, but I think the threat starts at the "there have been others, what happened to them?" The score is just spot on as well. "I am the doctor" is still probably my favourite bit of music from the revival (my favourite from the classic series is, of course, "cleaner bot slowly traverses a corridor").

Finally found that gif I mentioned of the fat guy staring at the tower. Also reached Planet of the Dead, which isn't that bad of a special. It not great, but I enjoyed watching it. Think the main reason is because I finally hit the point the show is in HD and the desert planet looked so beautiful.

Anywhere I can get a replacement eye socket for the Titan figure Dalek? I found one for only 4 bucks at Half-Price Books. It was dirt cheap because the figure came with a second laser arm instead of the eye socket.
