Kevos Setzer posted:Yes, that is what it is. I don't know why it's there, though. Now that we know he's the final regeneration, maybe that's what he saw? Maybe when he opened that door, he saw 12 dead Doctors instead of 10, and that confirmed what he was afraid of, that he is the last one. Just a shot in the dark.

I actually really enjoyed the premiere episode script, and 20 pages in I'm enjoying Into the Dalek as well. Though, I usually enjoy Moffat as show runner (I think the second half of series 7 was weak, but ended on a high note). So far they seem to be giving Clara an actual character, and in Danny Pink a love interest that, based on what very little I've read, sounds mildly interesting. Super early impressions so far, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what I've read so far in live action. I do like whimsy in my Doctor, though. So, you know, grain of salt and all if you don't. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 14:23 on Jul 9, 2014 |

Chairman Capone posted:Deep Breath was one of the most bloated and completely dull episodes in the last few years. Dalek and Sherwood were each better, but really didn't stand out for me. Just like it too me three episodes to really get what Matt Smith was going for, it wasn't until Sherwood that I started to really get what Capaldi is going for. Specifically his group of scenes arguing with Robin in the dungeon.

Does Listen explain how Clara can visit the Doctor when he's a kid, considering Gallifrey is in that pocket universe now, or whatever?

I haven't watched it yet, but I'm going to hope there's enough wiggle room to say that Clara is visiting the Doctor when he was a kid and his parents had taken him on vacation in a TARDIS to some other planet not locked away in a pocket universe. *dusts hands and walks away*

Guy A. Person posted:Well, I figured the monsters and general mythos was a given. I am talking more about direct references and allusions to the old Doctors themselves. RTD obviously brought back Sarah Jane, and then there was the notebook from Human Nature/Family of Blood. Moffat has shown the older Doctors on screen in clip form on several occasions (off the top of my head: the 11th Hour, Nightmare in Silver, Name of the Doctor, the 50th) and seems less shy about pointing out that Doctor was 11 other guys previously. It's not a clip, but this will always be one of my favorite call backs to a previous Doctor.

Looking around, I found a review that gives some dialogue teasers from the episode. http://www.spoilertv.com/2014/11/doctor-who-death-in-heaven-finale.html quote:"Oh go on, crack a smile. I wanna see if your eyebrows fall off" Nothing too spoilery, but some interesting ones. Like who assumed she was the Master? And You are a good Dalek. Who is calling back to that moment?

No Butt Stuff posted:First I'm hearing about there not being a series next year. Why would they do that? They need time to find a new Doctor or something? There was a rumor mentioned that because of the schedule to shoot Sherlock, Moffat wouldn't have time to do a season next year. But it doesn't really make a ton of sense, and I think there was only really one rumor mentioned, so I'm not putting much stock in it. People are just predisposed to believe it from Moffat due to the year of specials and fans holding grudges. Literally the only other times I've heard it are in passing comments in this thread.

David Tenant and Peter Capaldi both did not recognize the Master/Missy upon meeting him/her. Do they have to know they're a Time Lord first, or something silly like that?

I like this post, and the journey it takes. jivjov posted:Yeah, people are latching into that too. "Clara was bi! Bill doesn't need to be gay, you people just got representation!!" Wait, was she? I missed that. I've only watched most of Clara's episodes one time, though, and I missed a couple with 12. I remember Danny as being the only real romantic interest, in story or even in passing. edit: Box of Bunnies posted:Clara who had a series long arc centered around her heterosexual relationship. But they slipped in that one line about her snogging Jane Austen! Totally equality there! I guess I should have kept scrolling. I don't even remember this.

I'm hoping there's not a huge deal made about it like last time. It's Moffat's last regeneration scene, and (if they do what they did with Tennant turning into Smith) possibly the last scene he gets to write. It is going to be the hugest of huge deals.
