Reckon the UKians would struggle just as much if we decided to make up a new dialect for every single neighborhood too.

It's really getting in the way of the right callback show to make for Star Trek: A medical drama starring Dr. Bashir dealing with all kinds of weird space diseases, with his husband as a guest star.

Lots of fun ideas and feelings. Not as many returns on revisit, but I can say the new Doc can certainly cut a figure on the dance floor. Calling "The Horny Doctor" before the tabloids get it. Ed. gently caress ME "Thot Doctor" was right there.

Boxturret posted:Honestly I really liked the whole rope hacking thing. I like it conceptually, but I think the production didn't (couldn't?) go the full Jim Henson to make that subplot sing. There's a few other moments in throughout where I kept thinking that the production needed to be more cramped, more chaotic, etc. All the different gobbos and their designs looked sick, but I wanted more of that all over the place, e.g. the Sunday attic apartment set.

RTD should do this in the new season, and the entire Unleashed episode that goes along with it is him pitching the idea at a writers meeting while just staring an invited Steven Moffat directly in the eyes the entire time.

A friend of mine said there's a rumour that Moffat wrote an episode where the Doctor steps on a landmine and can't move from it or it explodes, and then after hearing about that there was a shot in the trailer that looked like the Doctor stepping on a landmine...

Isn't that just the opening of the Davros episode he wrote? Moffat doesn't seem the type to reuse an idea.

Just  if you don't consider The Empty Child + The Doctor Dances, The Girl in the Fireplace, Blink, & Silence in the Library + Forest of the Dead as some of the top tier episodes of RTD's run.Moffat writing an ep(s) where he's not the showrunner should make you excited.

Moffat's already run through more story ideas than most of us can conceive of, some tossed out in a cold open. Not sure what he could have left in the tank. I think he's written more Doctor Who than anyone at this point? Though a fresh lick of paint can always provide inspiration, and "the Doctor has to stand still" sounds like a fun high concept, especially for someone as active as Ncuti

And 4 of those are under a pseudonym.

Another thought: if you don't count co-writer credits (and uncredited co-writing/rewriting) Moffat has written 42 episodes. That's a number one might not want to alter

Honestly what Moffat needs most is an editor who can sand off some off some his bad habits, so assuming Davies actually does some redlines on stuff like sonic boner jokes, then he can come back once a year. I'll allow it.

I'll allow it. That said I am now deep into Series 9 on my full watchthrough and it's very good, easily the best of the Moffat seasons I have seen, and he writes a bunch in it. So I don't rule out his capacity to suddenly come up with a fresh approach.

I was watching Columbo yesterday (the one with Cassavettes) and had an idea for a multi-Doc special where The Doctor solves a murder over the course of several regenerations. He pops in, hangs out with the murderer for a while, leaves, pops up later at the companion’s work in a new form, etc. The murderer has no idea who all these weird folks are, or even that they’re the same person. If any of you work for Big Finish, I give you permission to steal this idea.

I thought Moffat and Davies have been all but outright saying Moffat will write at least one episode in the coming season. I'm good with that. We're all now very familiar with Moffat's problems as a writer, but one story every once and a while feels like we'd avoid some of those. It's when he has to carry a show, especially long term, that Moffat becomes unbearable.

The bad news is that the pattern will repeat endlessly, and once RTD2 ends we will begin MoffaTwo in vain.
