I like most Disney+ shows (Secret Invastion was a rare occasion where I didn't watch past episode one though) so I think I'll be fine.

She had like half an episode of looking like she was going to be some amazing mad steampunky mechanic type, building bonkers gadgets for stuff, but that seemed to drop down to normal background levels for the Doctor pretty quickly

I got to watch The Daleks In Colour in the end and I’m here to inflict my scorching hot take on everyone as well as see what others think. What I liked
What I didn’t like
One scene that stuck out in particular for me was when the daleks learn about the thal predicament while listening in on their captives. One dalek suggests they can do nothing and leave the thals to their fate, while another opines that the thals will not just allow themselves to starve to death, and that it was a good idea to preserve their captives and would be an even better idea to use them to bring the thals to the daleks. The scene ends with the daleks expressly looking to lull their captives into a false sense of security to help in whatever scheme they’re cooking up. To have this all replaced by a Nick Briggs dalek loudly laying out their entire plan to draft a letter while twirling its metaphorical moustache just isn’t anywhere near as good. I know I’m not the target audience and it was a neat idea, but I think it would have been a lot better if they could have had a 90 minute runtime without the bombastic Murray Gold style score.

Lord Ludikrous posted:[*]Random Nick Briggs. I like the guy but his dalek voices stick out like a sore thumb and its jarring as hell when a dalek goes from sounding like Peter Hawkins, to Nick Briggs, and back to Peter Hawkins again during the same conversation. The additional/replacement dialogue just isn’t as good as the original. Not Briggs, and I bet he's fuming tbh lmfao. Good though, he gets too proprietary sometimes.

I didn't realize they were re-editing it, too. Sounds like it wasn't a particularly great execution, but The Daleks is probably one of the serials that could benefit most from a shorter runtime. It's difficult because you're restricted to the existing footage, but re-editing old serials is an idea that appeals to me. I've always thought they should lean into the whole lost episodes thing and cut down on the runtime by popping up a title card that says THE DOCTOR and LEELA try and fail to escape. Bam, 5 minutes gone.

Rochallor posted:I didn't realize they were re-editing it, too. Sounds like it wasn't a particularly great execution, but The Daleks is probably one of the serials that could benefit most from a shorter runtime. The Pertwee 7 parters would greatly benefit from this I think. The amount of times they get captured, escape, captured again, escape etc in some of them is absurd. But I personally would prefer it to simply be a case of trimming and tightening the pacing as opposed to inserting new effects and dialogue.

Open Source Idiom posted:It's David Graham, the original dude. Hmm, I don’t think that’s right, I went back and checked the credits and Nick Briggs is credited as additional Dalek voices. I figured during the episode he did try and mimic David Graham at some points. Kinda wish he’d done so during the modern series run actually, Dalek voices work a lot better when there’s obviously two different actors talking to each other instead of one dude just altering his pitch.

During his tenure it always felt like there was something happening, be it the show itself airing, a trailer, the Christmas special, Torchwood, Totally Doctor Who, one of those CBBC animated shows, etc etc. And the beeb was always telling you those things were happening. They even got Big Finish actively in on things, with the Eighth Doctor Adventures getting broadcast on Radio 7 I think before they got released on CD?

It was more they made the stories with him and Susan Sheridan in FOR the radio, and then released them as audioplays. But yeah, when the RTD hype machine gets rolling, he never messes about.

I feel like my excitement level might be a little excessive, but I am so so looking forward to this. Like I can't believe we're going to get new doctor who incredibly soon. Favourite show in the world since I started watching in 05 when I was ten and I feel like that kid again. So this isn't just me saying the same stuff over and over again here's a short clip of tennent being excited about the new tardis. Don't worry there are no spoilers! https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSNucw3Mj/

I don't think I'll be able to finish my rewatch on time, just starting Day of the Doctor. I love that the BBC iPlayer just has it in the episode list where it's meant to go! Definitely worth hopping on VPN to use iPlayer over my other options. My one beef is they don't often seem to want to autoplay next episode and I have to refresh to get episode list back, since it just eventually hides itself?

Going to rewatch Power of the Doctor and get prepared  I missed out on Rise/Fall Fall/Rise ep chat before, but lol @ what a magnificent rise Power of the Doctor is over Legend of the Sea Devils.

There's a lot of easy outs The Master lied (what better way to mess with the Doctor than to dump their trauma off on them?) The Matrix is flawed (has it ever not been?) Something something machinations by other party (CIA, Shadow Proclamation, Great Intelligence, Absorbaloff...)
