I'm really quite sick of learning things about the Doctor. Can we just have him on adventures saving the world please?

Episode 9 is primed to annoy the hell out of me. That's not a conflict. The Doctor does not favor humanity blindly. If humans are being dickheads, he will stop them. That's just a moronic problem.

I just Some of these sound like they could be fine The Gatis episode could just be the result of a lovely synopsis But they brought back two of the absolute worst writers of the worst episodes of the entire 50+ year history of the shows run In the same season At least they only get one episode a piece Jesus Christ

I think one of the dumbest things Moffat has ever said in relation to Who publicly might still be this "Steven Moffat defended the episode saying it was "beautifully and elegantly written," and added, "I think will grow in stature over the years.""

Of course they're not. Why would they be This is why we haven't had a good Cyberman story in near 50 years.

BSam posted:Agent Orange, the only defoliant. I was going to do a non effort spoiler joke about how all defoliants are dangerous to expose to anyone or anything, but instead gently caress it. Here's the problem with that sentiment. Agent orange is and remains one of the most potent defoliant agents in the world, if not the most. To do what they said they were going to, you would need a herbicide defoliant mix at least half as strong as Agent Orange to do anything. Now, the fun part is, Agent Orange is not illegal. Anywhere. Because it's technically not a chemical weapon, that would be the most logical and likely thing to use if they weren't just being cute about dropping literal poison on every major city of the world. If it isn't Agent Orange, well I hope you brought your gas mask, not that it's going to help you any, because you're going to be breathing poison as it rains down over your city and contaminates your water supply. If it is Agent Orange, well basically they'd get a lower body count using loving Sarin Gas, because Agent Orange has killed ten times as many people as any chemical weapon. 400,000 dead, 500,000 birth defects, only from the direct exposure. This is not counting people who were exposed to it second hand and got cancer like my grandfather. To so lazily include that as a plot point, to even throw that idea that ANY GOVERNMENT would be that totally stupid, is equally as stupid as saying "Okay we'll just nuke the trees, right over your heads." It's horrendous writing and offends me personally. And then the anti medicine bullshit gets to rear its loving head.

Guy A. Person posted:It was kinda cool that RTD had more of a continuity between the companions and could bring them back for guest episodes, I def miss that. But if you think Amy and Rory are less beloved and memorable than like Martha Jones or Rose's mom or Donna then just c'mon dude He said side characters my man. Amy and Rory are not side characters. That'd be like, their parents. Rory's dad would almost count if he was actually in anything much.

Guy A. Person posted:That's fair I guess, I thought the reference to visiting the companions like 10 did at the end of RTD's run implied that he was talking specifically about companions/recurring supporting cast. I don't remember him visiting many people outside of the core companions. There were a few, but the most notable one that came to mind was the woman related to the nurse the Doctor fell in love with when he was human.

For real though, I am SHOCKED we haven't stooped as low as to have a Cyberman or Dalek companion. That's a hell of an achievement

I think Doctor What was trying to make a cute joke about how that's really what their hands look like now (as in, in character in universe) But unless they polish the effect up after the fact, which kind of defeats the purpose of these costumes, they just look like gloves. Really bad ones.

Bicyclops posted:I think it sort of helps the "cobbled together, piece by piece, with little thought as to aesthetic and entirely based on form" thing, though. Oh no, I like exposed hands. That's why I asked why they were wearing gloves. I think a good makeup effect on the hands would look stellar for creepy zombie cyborg people like these dudes, so seeing really cheap gloves like that being used instead made me sad. If they're meant to be gloves in universe, that works well enough.

PriorMarcus posted:Moffat seems to mistake the Daleks for Cybermen and the Cybermen for Daleks. He doesn't have a good reading on either villain. Man you are 100% correct on that. And yeah, the Cybermen have been poo poo since the 60s ended, their last really good story was Invasion and that was mostly for their design and Vaugn being the best human villain ever. But with a modern day, with our climate in decline, society freaking out The Cybermen should be more relevant than ever now. Not from the technological angle either, from the Must Survive angle. Which just, gets ignored.

He absolutely was dead on. We went from the start of a good Cyberman story, to just another Evil Robots story with Bill the Cyberman included. Not a huge fan of that what so ever, and I'm even more annoyed that we didn't get to see more of Bill AS a Cyberman and her dialogue. The sing song voice is just inherently more interesting and more engaging than the loud evil robot voice.

I am blown away by them just now realizing Doctor Who is about progress and more left wing stuff Like that's always been a thing. Ever since the beginning. The Daleks were loving Nazis. Are Nazis. They are the most evil thing in the universe that the Doctor always fights. But I can't be too surprised given the Zygon two parter.

The thing is Hartnell is the First Doctor. Like how Sean IS his version of James Bond. Or Val Kilmer Batman and George Clooney Batman are not the same kind of Batman. With the Doctor, that's important, because that's why they're recast as new characters. It's not ghoulish, it just misses the point. Bradely plays his Doctor very differently than Hartnell, but he's supposed to be the same Doctor. But you can't expect him to just play Hartnell's Doctor that would be unfair to him as an actor. It's almost like the role of the Doctor is a unique thing in acting and history, and shouldn't be devalued by replacing the actors once the original has passed away. Instead, just retire the character and don't loving touch them again unless you can spin something like Day of the Doctor with the old footage. If Bradely was some future regeneration of the Doctor like Tom Baker as the Curator, I would be 100% on board with this. But no, he's being a character that he shouldn't be. The First Doctor is William Hartnell.

Mortanis posted:I know Doctor Who fandom is kinda the lowest rung on the slimy, diseased ladder that is fandom, but that's some crazy crap right there. Unique? Shouldn't be? So you're just going to miss the point of what I was trying to say entirely in favor of insults, good to know. Let me put it this way, not that you'll care. If some one was going to play Adam West Batman, that wasn't Adam West, in some big movie- I'd have just as much of a problem with that.
