I love watching old Doctor Who with Radio Free Skaro commentary. Its so chill and good. I'm ALSO going through the revival series from Tennant's debut onward. Man the cinematography is flat as a pancake. But David is good, the dialog and pacing is fine. Micky is more annoying than I remember. Jackie is cooler than I remember. It must be because I'm ten years older. However, the CGI is so shoddy. They just use way too much of it. So much of it. I've also been thinking a lot of Paradise Towers. Does anybody know of a better vaporwave DW ep? Maybe that lovely early 90s special?

If the Five Doctors was in any way worth it for anything but some of the performances, I would consider it a massive waste of potential in how it handled Susan. That said, it is what it is and I enjoy it for 2 and 3.

I think you could look into something like the unofficial spin-offs from the wilderness years like Shakedown, Downtime or Daemos Rising.

Regarding the BF Iron Legion adaptation, it's pretty poor that nobody even bothered to tell Pat Mills and John Wagner - the original writers - that they were doing it, never mind offer to pay them any money. Mills only learned about it when someone told him on Twitter.

One of my favorite parts of the 10/Rose dynamic is those brief moments where the Doctor will casually mention something and you see Rose's fantasy world get punctured momentarily as she realizes she really doesn't know anything about him. I think it's in The Impossible Planet where he's talking about being trapped in that time and maybe having to get a job, and she's all,"And maybe get married? :bigtran:" and he just kind of off-the-cuff mumbles something like,"I was married once..." and then just moves on, but she's left kind of shocked.

Shame about the way it all ended up.

I know for a fact you looked at Peri's boobies while Five was dying. Traitor. I'm just glad John Simm got to be in at least one episode where I don't have to go 'but look, his performance is actually really good, please ignore the actual plot that's happening'.

In addition to World Enough/The Doctor Falls, I unironically love The End of Time in all its hokey glory. It's really just Last of the Time Lords I can't defend (except for the Scissors Sisters bit which requires no defense)

Doctor Zero posted:Didn’t we have someone who even liked THE BIG FINISH AUDIO THAT SHALL NOT BE NAMED? Umm... Unbound or main series?  If it's the Unbound one, you may be thinking of me, although I usually phrase it as "don't hate it as much as I should because that David Tennant fellow seems to be having the time of his life." If it's the main series (and it still needs to be narrowed down a little) I'm clear, though!
