It probably has the illusion of being extra secretive just because it’s a) the actual anniversary special and b) most likely filmed primarily in-studio and therefore less likely to be leaked by people just spotting the actors on location like most of this year’s leaks have been.

I wonder if the air dates weren't slightly altered; going from some of the background art it seems like The Star Beast might have been intended for a Hallowe'en airing. Tbh I'd assume The Giggle was planned to air on the anniversary.

Ed: actually nevermind, I’m stupid.  I mixed up the recent leaks, The Giggle is in fact the one that sounds more like a typical anniversary special, at least on paper. Big Mean Jerk fucked around with this message at 10:21 on Dec 1, 2023 |

It doesn’t help that everything we’ve seen so far seems to be from the first 2 minutes, when usually they’re up front about what the episode contains.

I wish people would stop using the term "lying" in the context of not revealing info about plot points, casting, future direction of a show etc. I know it's technically correct, but for me calling some one as a liar is a super negative term.

It really was the best of both their styles, plenty of RTD emotional bombast and a plot that properly tied everything together. It bought Moffat a lot of rope as far as I was concerned (which he promptly used all of, then bought even more on credit and was just about even on rope expenditure by the time his run ended).

TheBigBudgetSequel posted:Some people are hoping that Capaldi is lying, but I don't get the impression that he is. He did his time on the show and he's happy with it and doesn't want to do any more and that's perfectly fair. I would have loved to see his Doctor one more time but I don't think it's in the cards. I've heard what Capaldi said, but if he was playing The Valeyard in a way, it would be different enough. Of course I know I'm probably way off, but imagine a few years ago someone said "So the Master will reveal he killed all the Time Lords and made them Cybermen because he was pissed that he found out the Doctor wasn't Gallifreyan but was from another universe and a species who could regenerate and some Other Gallifreyan from Rassilon's time experimented on them to get regeneration and there were 72 other Doctors who did secret missions and the Doctor's memory was erased and that's how the Morbius Doctors are canon." My idea is nowhere NEAR as dumb.

I feel like a bit of a double-edged sword for Moffat is that he didn't really have 'one overarching thing', like RTD had the Time War and Chibnall had the Timeless Child. Moffat just found a new big, weird thing to do every season or so. It does stop his tenure being pinned down as being about a singular thing that could be thrown out or undone, but it did instead show that he only had so many ideas for big crazy poo poo. (Which was also true of RTD, but 'it's the Daleks again' was at least generic enough to be less noticeable.)

MikeJF posted:SILENCE WILL FALL Moffat's overarching story was weird, in the sense that it went on too long and never should of included Clara (so much of it was tied into Amy and Rory and River) and also it ended too soon because Matt wanted out of the role so it's resolution is all crammed into Time (?) of the Doctor.

You can, I believe, just about glue a coherent plot line together from what's on screen. There's some time loop/predestination stuff going on if I remember right, but yeah, it slides out of your brain pretty quick.

If we get just like 30 seconds of Eccelston on screen again in the RTD2 era, it will all have been worth it.

Resdfru posted:Picking a favorite doctor is hard The show has been incredibly lucky to get such consistently great actors for the role. Even with 10 and 6, the two Doctors I like the least, it’s extremely easy to see their appeal. And then again, I still really enjoyed at least half of Tennant’s original run and only started to sour on him towards the end. With C-Baker it’s the two-part matter of his televised episodes being kinda poor and all of his best stories locked behind a format I just can’t get into no matter how many times I’ve tried.

Eccelston left because of bad blood and a lot of it to with RTD and how he was running things, how he treated the workers, and enabling poo poo like Barrowman whipping his dick out constantly like it's his duty. If Eccelston ever came back, I can't expect it would be with RTD around.

Man, out of the modern ones, it's Capaldi for me, just because I'm the type who likes 'em ambiguously dangerous and Scottish. Which might be why my all time favourite (and first, hence kiddy nostalgia) is Sylvester. Took some time coming to that conclusion, but by Heaven Sent and onwards, I was all on board for him. Basically, perfect Doctor. But there's no BAD choice! Not really. Some of them like Whittaker and C.Bakes have caveats on the production/writing side of things, sure, but each and every one is golden in terms of casting.

I would have liked to have seen Tennant with Moffat as showrunner. That combo would potentially be quite deadly for an all time fav Doctor list. Moffat did a good majority of my fav 10 stories, and would have loved to have seen what he could have got up to with him for a full season. As much as 10 is my Doctor, I'd probably rate 12 above him. Some of Capaldi's performances were amazing. Harlock posted:If we get just like 30 seconds of Eccelston on screen again in the RTD2 era, it will all have been worth it. A 9 cameo would be amazing, but as mentioned he probably won't do it with RTD around - not unless RTD prostrates himself and apologises appropriately. He's done audio stories, so he's def open to the idea of playing the Doctor again tho!

I get mad sometimes listening to the 6 audios because they’re a taste of what could have been if Colin was given stellar scripts. He’s the kind of actor that just elevates anything he’s given.

Yeah he was upset with Keith Boak, who directed Rose and the Slitheen two-parter. Apparently he was a massive rear end in a top hat, but Eccleston may have placed some blame on RTD and crew by proxy for not doing anything about him.

My first thought was maybe it locks itself when she's far enough away. I used to have a car that I thought did that. Then my dad, car person whose car it was before, told me it definitely did not do that. But the theory is sound, it can work for the TARDIS if she believes.

Okay, that's weird and gently caress watching Chibnall again to confirm it, but given how the show was produced at the time, I could see it. Stories tended to jump right over the Tardis arrival so there weren't a lot of Doctor coming out and poking around bits. Maybe a quick insert of her popping her head out, but they had to quick cut to the action...
