Timby posted:...there have been multiple reports that Moffat is notoriously slow at writing scripts / revising other people's scripts (he supposedly got the 50th special script in only a few weeks before filming, which gave the design and costuming departments very little time to do their thing) Isn't the 50th special still more than a few weeks away from filming?

Timby posted:The 50th wrapped shooting on May 5. Location filming with Hurt, Tennant and Smith was done in the first few weeks of April (which is when we saw photos of all three, plus the Zygon), and then they moved to soundstages. Post-production will take a while, surely, and there's no reason they can't shoot a bit for the 50th while they film the Christmas special this summer (like how they shot the Hurt piece for The Name of the Doctor while they were making the 50th special) but the actual, "official" filming portion is in the can. Oh, right right. I was mixing it up with the Christmas Special, I think.

bobkatt013 posted:I want Karl Urban. However I know it will be someone like Robert Sheehan, Iwan Rheon, or Joseph Gilgun. They have been in tv shows, and if they were in a movie it was a bit part. Based on the way Robert Sheehan left Misfits, I'm not sure the producers would want to take that chance with him.... but I do suddenly really want to see the Doctor somehow saddled with Nathan as a companion.

Aurora posted:He's not the 'real 8th Doctor', they're already getting around that by every other Doctor striking him from the counting, it seems. Numbering is intact, as far as we know. It may not change the numbering, but it does change the number of regenerations that there have been. Edit: Actually, I guess it's "incarnation", so that probably does mean Doctors.

I have no idea how Moffat would make it work, what with the leadership being entirely corrupt and amoral by the end of the Time War, but hey, writing his way out of problems is what he gets paid tons of money to do so The newly-regenerated Doctor gets a job in the Time Lord government scaring incompetent Gallifreyan bureaucrats straight through profanity-laden tirades?

2house2fly posted:"Season" makes sense if it's around 13 episodes, ie about as long as one actual season. When American shows get to be 20+ episodes long it makes no more sense to call it a season than a series or block or set or whatever. The US Television season is 8 months long, though. September through May. It doesn't have anything to do with the 4 seasons of the year. That's like saying that "duck hunting season" or "the Christmas season" or "seasonal fruit" can only use that word if they last around the same time as an "actual season". thexerox123 fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Jan 8, 2014 |

e X posted:Wasn't the whole idea behind " A Good Man Goes To War" that the doctor gathers up past allies to help him out in his hour of need? Did Moffat just flat out forgot that you need to actually establish these allies before you can bring them back? Would be a very Moffat thing to do. One of his writing quirks is definitely that he likes the pay off more than the build up. To be fair, he did apparently want to get Captain Jack in it too, but John Barrowman was busy filming Torchwood.

socialsecurity posted:I really dislike the whole Clara "you are old now I don't know who you are" Last season she literally went through his entire past and visited every version of him, should should be aware that he can be old and that he regenerates and changes none of this should be a surprise at all. Well even The Doctor doesn't quite know who he'll be with each new regeneration. They do often have markedly different personalities. And this is a whole new set of regenerations, which adds another unknown to the equation, for her.

Bown posted:Not sure by what logic this excuses lazy writing. Because if you're making a Robin Hood-based story, obviously there are going to be references to the original story? You might as well be saying, "Pfft, they have some guy stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, what a cliche!" Note: I haven't seen the episode and it probably is terrible and derivative. I just think that if you're doing a Robin Hood story to begin with, you're going to get those references. thexerox123 fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Aug 17, 2014 |

qntm posted:There is no "the original story" of Robin Hood. The arrow-splitting thing is from Errol Flynn's version. Yeah, I know it's a series of stories and ballads and embellishments. I guess I should have said the original canon or the source material or something. The arrow splitting didn't originate in Errol Flynn's version, though, here's part of a ballad from the 17th or 18th century: quote:But brave jolly Robin shot under his hand, Although it's not actually Robin doing the arrow-splitting, in that case. Either way, though, the Errol Flynn version is definitely one of the more influential modern versions of the story, anyways. thexerox123 fucked around with this message at 18:55 on Aug 17, 2014 |

Varance posted:The arrow contest is a good example. After loving with Robin Hood, he blew up the target with the Sonic just to prove that it was all bullshit (target contained machinery that facilitated the arrow splitting). So it sounds like it is at least trying to subvert the convention a bit, then.

They explicitly say it was a dinosaur though, and dinosaurs weren't that big. Yes, but preconceptions about what dinosaurs are supposed to be like are meaningless in the context of a world that already differs by having reptilian humanoids.
