Oh man, I didn't know Gatiss wrote Cold War. That's one of my absolute favorites. I mean, David Warner AND Liam Cunningham? Have they ever had a better guest cast?

Seems to me like Twelve's a lot harder to pin down as just one or two characteristics. But if there was one word I'd use for him, it's "honest". "The Doctor Lies" was a line repeated annoyingly often in a GRRM-esque way during Eleven's run, but it strikes me that it might no longer be true in this incarnation. Everything I've observed in Deep Breath and Into the Dalek remains true, and it seems like for a change Moffat's developing a really solid character arc. No idea about the big plot arc, the whole Missy/Promised Land thing. But it's not as annoying as, say, TORCHWOOD. Or the omnipresent Cracks. Or THE IMPOSSIBLE GIRL.

OP posted:The First Law of Doctor Who fans says: "No substantive discussion group shall be entirely able to agree on the merits of any given story, not even the 'except X, that just plain sucked/rocked' corollary to this law."

Big Mean Jerk posted:I just want to write the real world POV article on Doctor Who/Godzilla fan fiction. aw, now I want a whole episode where the antagonist is basically a kaiju, and the Doctor, speaking fluent Monster, has to argue it out of killing everyone. So, like a whole episode of the beginning of Deep Breath, I guess, but with Godzilla, and no regeneration sickness. Or the Paternosters. At all. MODERN TIMES. Monster rampaging through downtown London. I would be okay if they made really cheap small scale episodes an entire season in order to afford decent CGI to render the kaiju. WORTH IT.

howe_sam posted:The Doctor's Daughter is memorable because of the behind-the-scene meta stuff with Jenny and Georgia Moffett, although I did forget that Martha was in it. I like the Star Wars TOS-ness of the moral lesson, and the plot reveals. And how it has both Donna and Martha. It's not terrible. My least well-remembered: Fear Her The Idiot's Lantern The Lazarus Experiment the Agatha Christie one Boomtown 42 The Fires of Pompeii the specials I didn't watch: Planet of the Dead, Voyage of the Damned, The Next Doctor The Curse of the Black Spot (only really remember the stupid CPR) A Good Man Goes to War/Let's Kill Hitler (I have mentally blocked most of it out due to severe displeasure) The Wedding of River Song (same) The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe The Power of Three
