I don't know anything about Corden outside of Who, but I thought Craig and his performance as Craig were pretty likeable.

He's alright in Oceans 8 as well, but he's bloody awful when he's not acting and he went to a WGA meeting he wasn't invited to, to try and get them to let him pay junior writers less. He's a poo poo.

Last week, someone spread a fake rumor about how a Glee reboot starring Corden was going to start filming soon and it got big enough that the Glee creator had to say they have no plans to reboot the show.

My rewatch has finished season 6. Closing Time is an okay episode which is buoyed up by some fantastic comic performances Smith. Would be completely forgettable if not for him really showing off his capabilities as a comic actor. The Wedding of River Song is just an incredibly Moffat episode, with everything both positive and negative that that implies. edit It also has some absolutely top tier Rory-ing.

Kinda irritating how you can have stories with James Corden in them, written by Gareth loving Roberts, and they're perfectly decent stories.

I feel like Doctor Who is the last thing with James Cordon in it that that actually knew what James Cordon's strengths are. He's good at playing a relatively schlubby but overall pretty charming everyman, so I'm not surprised that his first career-definer was a sitcom, but that's clearly not what he wants to be so he keeps getting himself horribly cast. He's like a British version of someone like Kevin James. Although from what I know Kevin James is actually a pretty nice person.

Yup. There are plenty of schlubby everymen who aren't total elitist assholes who treat restaurant workers like poo poo to prove what a big man they are, so gently caress him.

I'm another one who didn't like him and expected to dislike his Doctor Who episodes, then actually did like them and liked him in them. Also liked Gareth Roberts bringing a sitcommy tone to the show with the Corden episodes and The Caretaker, thought they were some of the standouts of their respective series. Well, not that Closing Time has that much competition. As if my questionable judgment wasn't already beyond doubt, let me just say while I'm here that I quite liked Nightmare In Silver

The_Doctor posted:That ep is SO GOOD. The Doctor telling House,"You're so much smaller on the inside" was a loving incredible line too. The TARDIS just obliterating House instantly the moment they faced off in a fair confrontation rocked.

Idris-TARDIS has some incredible lines. "I wanted to see the universe so I stole a Time Lord and ran away." and "Biting is brilliant! It's like kissing, but there's a winner." are standouts.

SirSamVimes posted:"I wanted to see the universe so I stole a Time Lord and ran away." That's one of my favourite lines in the franchise, just for the way it perfectly recontextualises something and adds to it in a way that fits everything that came before.

"You never take me where I want to go!" "No, but I've always taken you where you NEED to go" The Tardis as Idris was so lovely. The_Doctor posted:I think Gaiman would like to forget that too. His experience on it (and then American Gods) essentially made him realize what not to do as a showrunner when he did Good Omens and Sandman and that is a hoot.

The TARDIS opening her first ever conversation with,"Goodbye!" because of course she experiences time constantly backwards/forwards/sideways and can't always wrap her head around the proper tense for these weird "linear" people ruled too.

I like to imagine when fifteen doubled the TARDIS it didn't turn into two TARDIS consciousnesses and living beings. Existing in two places at once is no problem for a mind that already exists across all of space and time. The TARDIS is just both here and there.

I think the idea is pretty much supposed to be that the "split" is just that eventually 14 and his TARDIS becomes 15 and his TARDIS? But yeah, the TARDIS would probably have no issue with being in two places at the same time. Hell, if Scaroth can do it...

I just can't get over the part in Nightmare in Silver where Warwick Davis' character is like "Yeah they blew up several solar systems to stop the cybermen, killing trillions, but you know who I feel bad for? The guy who had to pull the trigger". Then you find out he's the guy that pulled the trigger...

Dabir posted:The TARDIS has frequently been in two or even three places at the same time. Day of the Doctor, for instance. Yeah, I just meant from the perspective of the "current" TARDIS being in two places at the same time if you take the perspective that 14 and 15 "split" the current TARDIS so they could both have one. I don't necessarily think that's the case anyyway, I still think 14 and 15's TARDIS are very much meant to be from two different points in the TARDIS' timeline (as much as that can be understood, given what we've just been discussing about how the TARDIS experiences "time" in the first place). Anyway, this all reminds me of The 5 Doctors where each of the Doctors appears to walk into the one TARDIS but it turns out that all of their respective versions of the TARDIS are just sitting in the same place at the same time.

Imagine if One had come back out and grumpily asked who added color to his TARDIS - he liked the classic monochrome, thank you very much!

Even though their memory doesn't work like that (the earlier incarnation forgets after the event and doesn't remember till after they've experienced it as the later incarnation), after Twice Upon a Time, I like to imagine 1 meeting 3, seeing his hair and immediately assuming he was 12 and being confused that he doesn't remember that time they met in the trenches in WWI.

I honestly think that the Cybermen just aren't in his wheelhouse.
