Cross-Section posted:

Actually, it is being broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 in about a hour and a half. I'll admit it'll be somewhat of a weird announcement without the visual element, though.

Not if it's a well-known actor :ninja:

That's not even Moffat's Sherlock

EDIT: Also, I don't seen anything on Google about an actor named "Howard Stretch"

Riptor fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Jul 15, 2013

I wouldn't be against them somehow rolling back in time with the next series and using John Hurt as 'The Doctor' for a season, telling stories of his time.

that is exactly what I want to have happen, but it's not going to unfortunately

Capaldi would be amazing for a ton of reasons, but in particular I just think they could make the physical transformation during the regeneration from Smith to him look really interesting since they're so physically different.

Speaking of which, anyone else feel like the visual effects from when Tennant regenerated to Smith was super crappy looking compared to when Eccleston turned into Tennant? I always feel like we got scammed a bit

The interesting dynamic there would be that 11 would know Donna, but she wouldn't know him, and she'd know 10 but not the chronological version of 10 traveling with Rose

In honor of the Kennedy assassination anniversary I'm reading Who Killed Kennedy. On the whole it's a really fun book, but what the author did to Dodo...There's a lot of weirdly dark stuff in those 90's Who books.

Gimme details please

Does anyone else hope the Time War is resolved in such a way that'll allow them to contribute more to stories? I think would be neat for Capaldi Doctor to have a long-running singular villain to break up the creature of the week stuff. Preferably a Time Lord.

I really would like the Time Lords to be back, not as enemies though

I guess the trap is to kill him while he's in regeneration? Like.. Lake Silencio?

I guess Kate Stewart was fine but Osgood was a completely forgettable example of yet another weak comedic side character.

weak is fine. Weak means there's room for improvement. Osgood was infinitely better than the idiotic big-glasses guy from Planet of the Dead, or that :siren:

GADGET GADGET :siren:

thing in terms of 'comedic' characters

I keep reading a whole load of bullshit about how The Master slipped through with the regenerations and is inside The Doctor, thus messing him up/asking if he's a good man, and that there'll be some sort of biological meta-crisis type event again where he'll syphon off into a new body.

gently caress you guys that sounds cool

do a thing where the siphoning thing goes all wonky and the master kinda blorps out of Capaldi's body and is revealed to be evil Eccleston, Smith or (i guess if you have to) Tennant

but with a goatee

I also have a soft spot for Gridlock. I'm not exactly sure why as it's very peak RTD yet for some reason in that episode all the elements fit together nicely.

It's a parked bus in a forest. It's definitely meant to be there.

Let's not forget the jacket thing from Time of Angels. Two camps, one arguing the jacket was a production error and the other that it was deliberate.

but this is way more likely to be a little easter egg/joke from the SFX crew

DoctorWhat posted:

actually having the Doctor's face on a poster on a bus is a bit more obvious than your usual SFX joke

especially on HDTVs, where you can MAKE OUT THE TEXT and, presumably, so can the characters

did you even look at the picture

its obscured by trees and stuff and not the focal point of the scene

All the "The ____ that _____" is really trodden at this point. I'm dreading those episodes simply on title alone.

Besides the first two, none of them sound particularly interesting either.

I agree that books should be judged by their covers

The same way I can enjoy all those decanonized Star Trek novels and NAs? Yay.

"Oh, here's some speculative what if fan fiction that has no bearing on the universe I'm immersing myself in."

I mean the Unbound stories are great but it's not cool if really good ones that I considered canon become Unbounds for no good reason.

I mean, i knew a doctor who spoiler thread would be nerdy. I just didn't realize it'd be THIS nerdy

Realities of production schedules, budgets, etc would prevent this from realistically happening but next time they do a regeneration it'd be awesome if it just spontaneously happened in the middle of a season, or, even better, in the middle of an episode

a trap street by the way is a non-existent street that map makers would slip into maps so that if someone plagiarized them they'd be able to prove it
