Mortanis posted:Pretty sure that Confidential mentioned it was sent over almost immediately after that, and that it had been on set still since the end of Tennant's run because they'd had an idea for revisiting it. That seems kind of odd that they'd keep it around so long. Any word on Smith's old set?

Diabolik900 posted:It makes more sense that they kept the set around if you remember that The Doctor's Wife was originally supposed to be part of series 5. I guess that does make sense! So, TARDIS chat: Am I the only one hoping the classic set they built sticks around and is used at least once?

Bicyclops posted:I seem to be part of the minority, but I really don't see what part the Zygons have in modern Doctor Who at all, and certainly in the anniversary. Zygons are shape-shifting jerks who want to gently caress up Earth. That's better than most New Who villains right there.

Astroman posted:It preserves his character a bit as being the optimistic one that sees the best in everyone and is ever hopeful and out for adventure. This is the very best outcome for Eight. He got to go out on top, untarnished and we got shout outs to his BF adventures. Moffat gets a gold star for this one.

qntm posted:It's weird how the necessities of the real world sometimes cause a story to write itself. In retrospect it's almost head-slappingly obvious. Nine can't have fought in the war. For it to be Eight could stain that Doctor's character unnecessarily. Solution: a secret regeneration?! Totally elegant, and at the same time, storytelling dynamite. We've known since like 15 minutes into the new series that Nine didn't fight in the war, he sees himself for the first time in the mirror in Rose's apartment.

jivjov posted:Yeah, at this point the only thing left on my 50th anniversary wishlist is some manner of regeneration that ends in Eccleston. I don't care if its Hurt -> Eccleston or some kind of wibbly wobbly thing where they replay Night of the Doctor except with McGann making a different choice and regenerating McGann -> Eccleston, but I just want to be able to visually witness an unbroken string of regenerations (Not counting the dubiousness of the Troughton -> Pertwee one). Same here. If Chris shows up this weekend I might actually cry a little bit.

qntm posted:Ohhhhh, I bet that's why John Hurt is barely shown in that minisode. Because then you can show both John Hurt and Christopher Ecclestone to the same extent. You see some hands, a body double, a blurry face reflected in armour, a different phrase... and in both cases you need hardly any cooperation from the actors other than a grudging nod. Oh wow, the War Doctor becomes an invalid incarnation and the Ninth is a do-over because of events of the Time War. Holy crap.

Never change, doctor Who. I assumed the Paradox Machine kept those monsters locked out of the continuum.

Maybe the empty seat was supposed to be for some poor chaps wife but she died before the show, did you ever think of that? And he went alone to honor her memory because that's how it's done. Nah, just kidding. Some loser probably just couldn't find a date.

Republican Vampire posted:In other news, Clara may well now have a personality. In an interview with Doctor Who Magazine, Moffat played up that Clara is "clever, sceptical, hard-to-impress". Moffat implied in the interview that he's interested in exploring how this affects her dynamic with the TARDIS, which won't be boring and redundant after The Doctor's Wife at all. Also the episode in which Twelve wears the Warehouse or Lab coat is called Kill The Moon. Ben Miller is playing the Villain in a sci-fi take on Robin Hood called The Robots of Sherwood written by Mark Gatiss. Gatiss has poo poo'd the idea that the time lords will return because apparently making them into lame-o-zoid Oxbridge House of Lords dweebs is somehow less interesting than treating them as generic super powerful god-like aliens. Ben Miller is loving awesome, can't wait for that.
