Jerusalem posted:Davison himself said something akin to,"If they could have made more stories like this I would have stayed!" didn't he? That was never going to happen though, JNT didn't think scripts were an important part of television [edit] Or rather he thought they were important, but "quality" was far down a list of priorities with "speed", "cost" and "possibilities for celebrity cameos" at the top MrL_JaKiri fucked around with this message at 11:24 on Apr 24, 2023 |

Which story was The Ribos Operation with gun running?

No no, that story got canned. They did the story in Crete with Boris Becker as the guest star instead, you remember? The one where the gun runners end up shooting the Master's TARDIS console and causing a rip in space-time that caused a paradox effect that jumbled up the years that multiple UNIT operations took place in! The stern and patriarchal yet somehow charismatic leader of the gun runners calmly assesses the situation and makes a morally ambiguous exit in the aftermath!

I've seen basically nothing of Six, so I have no idea whether that's a joke or not

I’ve been watching Pluto tv’s Classic Who channel and they’ve been going through the Davison/C.Bakes era, and it’s always surprising how gritty some of the stories are, despite the cheap sets. Stuff like Vengeance on Varos has a real ‘you’ve come to hell, and you’re all going to suffer’ feeling to it. No one comes out well.

Random Stranger posted:That one made a bit more sense than some of the others (looking at you timeless child) because at least prisoner zero came through a crack and might have gained some knowledge from that. It all falls apart if you think about it. People fall through the cracks and are erased from time and memory, but Prisoner Zero can travel through one and escape, and it goes unnoticed not because of any property of the crack but due to a perception filter (that it abandons for some reason because two people got around it). All the birds at the pond got eaten by the crack for some reason and that means no additional birds show up in this location in future but plenty of birds still exist. The most baffling bit is the thought that it becomes common knowledge that the Doctor and the TARDIS are connected with the cracks, but evidently only the Doctor’s enemies know and they set a trap to stop him. None of his friends ever ring him up and say “the TARDIS seems to be unravelling the fabric of space-time, maybe have that checked?” Moffat gets away with it because you don’t have the context to see the problem until the finale, and it’s so satisfying that you are likely to say it justifies the elements that retroactively don’t make sense. Honestly, Prisoner Zero could have told the Doctor the cracks were his fault in a way we wouldn’t believe and the whole season still works, but Moffat loves his mysteries.

(Though I read that as coercion stopping short of physical violence.) We’re supposed to be unsure if Twelve is a “good man,” perhaps because Moffat forgot the whole “Good Man Goes to War” thing he wrote.

I mean it wasn't really very satisfying because the whole "reboot the universe" thing was bullshit, but ok The whole thing about Moffat is it constantly feels like he's trying to be smart and write smart scripts, but then he actually isn't that smart, so he ends up tying himself in knots. there is a two hour hbomberguy video where he proves this exact thing is a pattern across his entire career alexandriao fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Apr 25, 2023 |

Like the dalek redesigns were actually large enough to Impose on people, and the colours denoting rank were an insight into dalek society that wouldn't be paralleled until Asylum of the Daleks, and then not again until the DALEKS!!! shorts. edit: I wanna know how scientist daleks work.
