That was very very good and clever and yes-I-called-the-twist because there-was-always-gonna-be-a-twist but who cares. Best 13th Doctor story, yeah?

I can't believe that years after he left the show and described his time on it as a "death march" Moffat will just pop back in to have the Doctor give a little monologue about the heroic narrative of the show's theme music. This right after RTD revealing that great prologue to Rose. Maybe since these guys are under quarantine now they can do a few more...

I can't believe that Moffat has a better handle on the specific incarnation that Chibnall created dashing out a couple-page short story than Chibnall himself has had after two full seasons of show running. I mean, I can, but I shouldn't.

I love how actors who take the role end up just straight up becoming the Doctor for real, it's the best Well, except Tom Baker who is legitimately just straight up the Doctor in real life and accidentally stumbled into being cast as himself.

1/5/10 for me, I think. 1 has some rough edges, but it’s the only Eccleston season we got and he’s still My Doctor. 5 is self-explanatory. 10 was a toss-up with 9, but I think overall it’s the better season even though there are still obvious gems like Heaven Sent. One thing sorting through those choices did hammer home for me is how Capaldi, Smith, and Tennant all have about a 1:1 good:bad ratio for episodes.

I think I choose 4, 6 & 10. Hmm.... 1, 4 & 10. Eccleston's my favourite modern Doctor, Donna's my favourite modern companion and makes Tennant tolerable, 10 is Capaldi's most consistent season and has Bill and Nardole. I'm not as passionate about Series 5 as others, but if I had a fourth pick it'd be that. Voting Floater fucked around with this message at 09:51 on Apr 9, 2020 |

That's really tricky! The only easy choice for me is series 10: the first five episodes are consistently great, and the dynamics between the Doctor and the companions (including Missy later on) are fantastic. Beyond that I'll be a bit soppy and say series 1 and 11. They're both quite variable in terms of quality, but I personally find each of those Doctors so exciting to watch. Something about the energy they each bring to the role just appeals to me, and makes even pedestrian stories a bit more fun. It's something I didn't really feel about Tennant or Smith, though I still like them both.

4, 6, 9. The second half of 3 has some of the best episodes and greatest moments of the show, particularly the last 2 episodes, but the first half season is too weak and it takes too long for Martha to hit her stride. 4 though, has such a solid run of classic episodes where even the weakest are really good. Donna remains one of, if not the best new series companion. She has fantastic interactions with 10 and a different dynamic, breaking the moonstruck companion in love cycle, and her arc is great and tragic. The return of Davros at the end is probably the second best return of a classic character besides the Master, with Rassilon (as played by Dalton) being a close 3rd. It was tough choosing between 5 and 6. 5 has such a good run of consistent episodes with the Ponds, though they had some greater moments in 6. On the other hand, the series got so wrapped up in Moffat's worst tendencies for convoluted arcs, tricks, and epic moments moving into twee. 7 would have been a good pick because you get 5 great Pondisodes and then Clara, but Clara and Eleven is just no contest when compared to Clara and Twelve. 8 and 9 was also a difficult choice. 8 has a solid run of great episodes much like 4, but with 9 they balance classically great episodes with a Moffat Mystery Arc which is more subdued than 6 and sticks the landing. And Heaven Sent is one of the best episodes of the series hands down.

I chose 6 over 5 because of Rory’s presence. 5 is really good, but Rory being there for 6 sold it. He’s such a good character, deflating the Doctor’s bubble.

As much as I disliked Moffat's run on DW, I always give the man credit for three things: 1. Encouraging NuWho actors to head over to Big Finish 2. Bringing back Paul McGann so they could film the 8th Doctor's regeneration 3. The Day of the Doctor And now I have to give him credit for a fourth thing, with this story.  . As others have already said, he captured 13's voice far better in one story than her showrunner has managed to. And it was a nice little story that I think kids would especially enjoy.

Astroman posted:but Clara and Eleven is just no contest when compared to Clara and Twelve. I have the complete opposite take. Clara and 11 never really seemed to gel for me until Day of the Doctor at which point their run together was almost at it's end, though I largely blame the decision to keep the Ponds (much as I love them) around for an extra half season for why Clara and 11 didn't really get a chance to find their stride. 12 and Clara, however, I absolutely loved. Their relationship running from it's breakdown to the glorious moment in Mummy on the Orient Express where she sees the Doctor really is absolutely 100% still THE Doctor tells a really good story, and then from there they just seemed to gel perfectly. Though the Danny Pink stuff was hit and miss, I did love her arc of becoming a bit too enamored with the lifestyle and so wrapped up on wanting to be like her own idealized version of the Doctor that she started putting herself into terrible danger. Plus it leads into Heaven Sent where she permeates every second of the episode despite largely not being in it. I think of Clara/11 a bit like 3/Sarah Jane. Yeah they traveled together and liked each other, but it wasn't until 4/Sarah Jane that the relationship really deepened into something special. Doctor: So Cyber-Leader, how's isolation treating you? How are you feeling? Cyber-Leader: ...... EXCELLENT! Jerusalem fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Apr 9, 2020 |

For the reasons you give, and also because with 12 she became a much more fleshed out character than The Impossible Girl/Perfect Companion Cipher she was with 11.

Edward Mass posted:RTD and Moffat didn’t rewrite the Doctor’s backstory any further than “why did the Doctor leave Gallifrey in the first place?”. Chibnall, however, did a Looms. Did RTD do anything to the Doctor's backstory aside from saying the Master got that way from looking into a black hole? (Way to make fun of fan theories by having the Doctor dismiss the idea that they're secret brothers then come up with something just as dumb.) The only concrete thing Moffat did with the Doctor I think was establish that they were scared as a child and either were orphaned or sent to boarding school, which is fine. Anything regarding the hybrid is basically inadmissible due to the Doctor saying it to gently caress with the Time Lords (and purposefully poisoned by having Me bring up the half human thing), and stuff about the Doctor being a little girl/stealing a moon/stealing a wife is kept purposefully vague and unreliable.

The "theory" that they were secret brothers was the original plan for the Master's character before Delgado died. That development was so tied to the original ending for Delgado's version of the character, that I don't think it's particularly weird that later showrunners would distance themselves from it, especially considering how long the character has been running without that being revealed. Besides, one thing Rusty can't be accused of is of not keeping things vague: the whole "looked into the time vortex and made him mad" stuff is specifically explained by 10 as something some people think, and even when we learn what caused the Sound of Drums, you can easily handwave that as *not* necessarily the cause of the Master's actions, and something that wasn't even part of the timeline during the early episodes with the character. The one thing RTD confirmed is that the Doctor did indeed have a family, which should have been obvious to everybody, but some people became really convinced that, in spite of Susan calling him grandfather, no, the Doctor actually just took a random child out for adventures. ALSO LOOMS. I'm surprised that Chibnall went for the "canonize the Morbius doctors" first rather than just introducing the Doctor's son/daughter or something like that.

Wait, I thought the original plan with the Master was that he was the Doctor, a byproduct of the Time Lord's forcing 2 to regenerate. Like he was the Doctor's negative and evil side, kind of like the Valeyard before the Valeyard. Then 3 and Delgado Master would have merged back and regenerated or some such I could have sworn that was the idea at least

But I don't think the Time Lords and Two's forced regeneration were supposed to factor into that, after all the Doctor does know the Master from before that already in Terror of the Autons. The secret brother stuff comes later I think, it's hinted at by Ainley at some point and it's a big thing in the cancelled plans for the 90s reboot.
