gently caress. Matt, nooooo. And I only just found this amazing thing yesterday.

I really, really hope they use the regeneration scene to set up the Valeyard.

Also, Hugh Lawrie has to get it. Come onnnnnnn.

Kick Moffat out of the Showrunner's chair, give him a two-parter every year. We know he's good for it.

This could also set a casting precedent for Fires of Pompeii specifically.

If the Time War was completely removed from history, then Cass likely wouldn't have had a reason to reject the Doctor's escape offer, resulting in the Doctor avoiding his own death, creating a paradox along the lines of River not killing the Doctor.

And then Rose's dad has to kill himself.

The woman's voice in the trailer for the Christmas episode is Kovarian.

We didn't get a Christmas trailer in the cinema. Is it on YouTube?

Edit: wait, found it. http://youtu.be/Hw79DvVTi1Y

At least the synopsis carries on the tradition of the Christmas specials being garbage. 11 deserves a better way to go.

Going out after defending a town for 900 years, losing a leg to the Weeping Angels (that'll make them scary again) and rediscovering your lost home world won't do it for you? gently caress man, it beats dying from Rose's time herpes.

If they legitimately go with "Regeneration Kills The Daleks" I will not be happy.

That's what really pisses me off, that idea. I don't think I really need to go into WHY that's just not smart to begin with. Oh wait I did before.

It'd be even more fantastic for them to revert to a sane loving schedule.

Goddammit, now you got me wanting an episode where a Silent befriends the Doctor and saves the day followed by an emotional farewell, Murray Gold, "You will be remembered", and then the Doctor turns away and forgets the entire thing.

Alex Kingston is a very fine actress and a lovely lady.

And with that said: please Jesus, no more River Song.

It's cool, I'm pretty sure we'll have Tasha Lem instead.

The lack of tie or something is really bothering me. Either undo the top button or wear something around your neck. To me that always looks really awkward.

It's a very punky-looking Pertwee though, for sure. If he was wearing a pair of brothel creepers, I wouldn't be surprised.

Brace yourself for an influx of top-buttoned, tie-less nerds.

It's like the Reapers in Mass Effect all over again.

"You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it" would be a pretty loving amazing tone for the resurrected PTSD Time Lords to take.

Republican Vampire posted:

Yeah but they were totally unconvincing. The one in the first game went on and on about how they were beyond human comprehension, but his whole plot got sussed out by your secondary party members in like two minutes. In the second game you had that one whose whole big trump card was giving a mook some unimpressive buffs. IN the third game it kind of looks like they're stooges of some half-bright space baby. They were an unimpressive and unconvincing villain and I seriously don't get people who could take them seriously.

I think that Time Lords would look the same if the show brought them back and tried to paint them as all that and a bag of chips. That's why the post-Deadly Assassin take on them was so clever. Yes, they're ludicrously powerful, but no, there's no actual reason why they should be. You can understand it in terms of actual class relations and it doesn't make the mistaking of aiming for and inevitably missing mythic status.

On the other hand this is a show about space Jesus fighting Robin Hood with a spoon
