JFC Express. They published a story yesterday concerning the turmoil in the show as, at the conclusion of Series 12 (Jodie's second series), Steven Moffat is resigning as show runner from the show. https://twitter.com/graemeallan/status/1270683770920763392?s=20

Jerusalem posted:If I remember right, The Highlanders is the one where the Doctor goes from being interrogated to convincing his interrogator to willingly let the Doctor knock him out by slamming his head against a wall or something, right? Yes! While pretending to be German! It basically goes: Doctor: "ah, I can tell you have problems with your eyes." Clerk: "No I don't" Doctor: "That's why you get headaches!" Clerk: "I don't have a headache" Doctor: *bangs clerk's head against a desk* "Yes you do! Now just lie down blindfolded for an hour to make it go away." It's important to note this is immediately following on from the Doctor having fleeced the main villain and stuffed him inside a closet.

I really hope Jodie doesn't go with him, she deserves someone to run the show that won't screw it up  I also don't want to listen to idiots blaming Twelve for the series being terrible but I suppose that's inevitable. The worst conversation about Who I ever had was a checkout guy at Target saying he didn't like the new series because there's just something about Twelve

Even the updated article is sensationalist bullshit. Like, this part here:quote:Season 12 of Doctor Who ended in a dramatic finale back in March, which left fans on a bit of a cliffhanger, worrying if The Doctor (played by Jodie Whittaker) would ever actually return.

Still plowing through this rewatch. You know, I had my problems with Tennant back in the day and I definitely welcomed his departure, but I’m actually kinda enjoying his Doc now. He’s still too melodramatic and he’s a huge hypocrite when it comes to violence, but his manic energy and enthusiasm is kinda endearing in a childish way. Maybe I’m just getting nostalgic a decade later but I’d really like to see him play off Capaldi and Whitaker in a new multi-Doc story. Or maybe it’s just the generally improved writing in the Donna season, who knows?  - Planet of The Ood is still solid and the Ood themselves have to be one of the better Revival alien designs. - That Sontaran two-parter is still awful, although the techbro villain is far more believable as a threat in tyool 2020. - The Doctor’s Daughter has some nice moments but hooo boy that ending. Someone post that “The Man Who Never Would” comic. - I’d completely forgotten Felicity Jones was in The Unicorn and The Wasp. - Library two-parter is still great, but I’m not sure a fake beige Heaven with fake kids is an appropriate final resting place for River in retrospect. She’s basically a mortal Doctor, let her run around a whole galaxy doing Doctor things. - Happy to report the Midnight haters are still wrong.

been doing a rewatch with my partner - she watched all of Tennant's episodes when they aired and thought he was great, but she kinda trailed off in Smith's era She's now convinced that Matt Smith is the superior doctor  It was The Day of the Doctor that really tipped her off. Watching them play off each other emphasised how much more layered Smith's portrayal is in comparison.We're about halfway through Series 8 now. Now that I know where Capaldi's portrayal goes I'm a lot more inclined towards early 12 this time round. Maybe it's just that I'm older and much more jaded and relate to him more now, but where I first just saw 'bafflingly unrepentant arsehole' now I see 'deeply troubled non-neurotypical individual having a major identity crisis struggling to keep it together'.

A good way of framing and crystallising 12’s early character is to recall 11’s final phonecall with Clara. Underneath 12’s harsh exterior, he’s terrified and riddled with self-doubt (“am I a good man?”). If you view him through that lens, a lot of his prickly nature is actually just those emotions venting. Of course, sometimes there’s legitimate anger, he’s the Doctor after all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQHC7a9JEQQ

I think first time round that was lost on me because 11 was a pretty settled dude, all told, so it was like 'where's this all coming from all of a sudden?' but continuity of personality in regeneration is always weird and inconsistent in Doctor Who EDIT actually I suppose making peace with your final death and then being given a possibly infinite new lifespan would probably mess you up pretty bad Barry Foster fucked around with this message at 10:49 on Jun 11, 2020 |

Anyone else heard this, or is it just a random bitter rumour from an odd corner of the internet? I always heard he was meant to be a generic representation of annoying super-fans who were more concerned with meta-framing of the show within its own historical context, as opposed to any one fan in particular. I do have to say it was nice of Chris Chibnall to note that he was an insufferable little poo poo with his appearance on that television show in the 80s talking poo poo about the Colin Baker run on Doctor Who way back when.

I felt the same way. While there are some infamous stinkers in Series 8 and other elements/episodes that don't work, I was a lot more positive about it overall when I rewatched it last year. It helps that I'm now viewing it from a point of having properly internalised Capaldi as being the Doctor, rather than just seeing the actor Peter Capaldi who'd very recently finished playing Malcolm Tucker in The Thick Of It. I do think the part of his portrayal in Series 8 that still grates with me is when he's written as being PG Malcolm Tucker in Space.

Yeah, it's pretty undeniable that that's the way he was written, even with the benefit of hindsight. First time round I literally couldn't see him as anyone other than Malcolm Tucker, and I just couldn't 'see' the Doctor in him anywhere (J-Ru's Mummy on the Orient Express example notwithstanding). And I really really missed Matt Smith, who (to my mind) had perfected what the modern-era Doctor could/should be. However, The_Doctor posted:Series 10 mellowed 12 is so much better. this is true, and frankly even series 9 12 is a vast improvement. Capaldi's hair is like Frakes' beard.

I've known people who've chronically missed the point and people who don't like watching it because it's too intense for them, but actually thinking it's bad?!? The dumbest take I've seen on Midnight (which still concluded that it was a good episode) was a group reaction video where they took a high-and-mighty "we're so much smarter than those idiots" stance while simultaneously going "who would you have killed?" "I'd kill all of them!" "Well, I'd kill all of them EXCEPT Dee-Dee " Congratulations on proving the episode's point, you utter cretins.
