I really liked Cold War, but I think that was all David Warner's fault. I'm so glad they finally got him into live action Who.Jerusalem posted:I'm more concerned by the director, who doesn't sound like he has the best pedigree. I dunno, going by his IMDB, he's a pretty solid TV director with 11 years worth of experience. Plavski fucked around with this message at 12:48 on Sep 5, 2014 |

That episode was great fun and Capaldi is just magical - I've never warmed to a Doctor so quickly before. I think in a couple of episodes time he might be my new favourite. These last two episodes have been brilliant examples of what makes Doctor Who so good.

You could really tell Gatiss just loved writing Capaldi too. He loves writing Sherlock-esque snark and know it can be pulled off by the actor. For Big Finish people, you should really listen to Phantasmagoria if you haven't already; I think it's one of Gatiss' finest Who contributions.

Goddamn, Spare Parts was loving incredible. It completely lives up to its reputation. Now I'm listening to The One Doctor and it's so charming hearing Biggins ham it up.

The One Doctor was suitably campy and fun, but I'm glad to get to more serious fare with The Marian Conspiracy. As someone with a history degree (first class, how's that for employability!), it was nice to see it all being taken so seriously. Having a historian around, especially one as delightful as Evelyn, is a treat. I've already heard Jubilee, so I know her quality, but I'm looking forward to the rest of her stuff. She has a lovely rapport with Colin and it's a shame illness forced Maggie to retire from acting. Still, I have many more stories ahead of the two of them. It might hit the old wallet hard, but so far they are great value.

Loups-Garoux or Singularity are awesome starters too. The dream team of the Fifth and Turlough are perfectly matched for these radio stories. Or just listen to Dark Eyes and enjoy.

Five and Turlough is my favourite partnership and it's a pain to me that there are only three stories with just the two of them. The fact that all three are really great is a good bonus, but it's a real pity there aren't more. There's something about Five's optimism and Turlough's irritability that helps drive the plot on fantastically. Five is constantly battling with Turlough's natural negative instincts and the two have a great rapport.

I hated Situation Vacant. Boring and filled with unlikeable characters I couldn't wait for it to be over.

Autonomous Monster posted:It's 42, one of Chibnall's efforts. Reading the synopsis, I think I vaguely remember watching this one, but good, bad, indifferent? Haven't a clue. Anyone? 42 is the one with the loving trivia competition.

There is a lot about Season 3 that isn't particularly well thought out. RTD complains a lot in the Writer's Tale about how badly he treated Martha because he just couldn't figure out what to do with her.

Inspired by Gridlock chat, I'm watching Gridlock again. I'd forgotten how plastic looking the Tennant-era was. And Oh God, Ardal O'Hanlan as a loving cat-man.
