Awesome Pink. That's his name now. Even the younger one.

HOWEVER, I'd like to know how much god drat incest was in their family for someone HUNDREDS of years in the future to look identical to current timeline Pink?

I haven't posted much the last couple of days because I've been building a rudimentary time machine so I can go back in time a couple of days and stop myself from listening to Minuet in Hell. Did it work?

Oh wait no, I just time-traveled the old-fashioned way - straight forward in realtime.

I'm really just a sucker for character study bottle episodes. Do a Shuttlepod One in the TARDIS.

Yeah, from what it sounds like you could TARDIS in to any part of the bank except the vault itself so he just left them there before he wiped his memory.

wait

you DIDN'T KNOW!?

Spatula City posted:

I have a question for the old-timers: has the Doctor ever been so precise with the TARDIS that he could land it inside fairly small spaces the way Twelve has done multiple times? Because I don't remember him ever purposefully doing it in the revival. He just didn't have the control.

I'm actually quite hopeful for the Missy storyline, forcing The Doctor to meet up with people who died (or at least, would have died) due to him seems pretty interesting. It hasn't been very well-handled so far though.

Come to think of it in Time Heist we had two people who we thought were disintegrated but who actually teleported, that seems like another hint.

Nah actually he isn't.

I just found out that Hulu Plus has, of all things, K-9 and Company. But for the sake of sanity they've done their best to hide it from people by placing it under clips for the new series.

Doctor Who as 1970s bawdy comedy film?

I've been watching the new Who for a while, though skipped a few episodes here and there (Vampires of Venice maybe? Dinosaurs on a Spaceship?), but that's alright.

Sadly it's not what everyone probably wants it to be. It's a preview for the new Doctor Who Experience coming later this month, updated now with Capaldi.

Interestingly it sounds like Lalla Ward's Romana?

Best control room. Putting some shelves in the current one didn't make it any less poo poo.

So my dad found out that some esoteric channel somewhere in our cable package is airing the second Peter Cushing Who movie tomorrow night.

Does anyone here know if it's worth watching, in either a good or bad way?

I quite liked the epilogue for it's dialogue.

"Tell me the truth right not or I swear I'll smack you so hard you'll regenerate"
and
"It was patronising! Don't ever tell me to take the training wheels off my bike ever again!"

were very well delivered.

Further fuel for my 'going full Colin Baker' theory.


I'm glad they've finally got some new stock spacesuits that aren't being reused from The Impossible Planet. It kind of made sense for the Doctor to keep his around (and the fact he reused it in Hide was a nice touch), but the fact he suddenly had abunch of them was a bit weird. Whatever happened to the suits from Silence in the Library?

Irony Be My Shield posted:

I think they should have made it clear that the "shell" would be harmless from the start, so that the question becomes "is it OK to pre-emptively kill the creature in case it wants to attack us". That would have made the theme more coherent, since that's basically the decision they were discussing.

Oh, and what the gently caress was with the student suddenly floating in zero-G? The yo-yo was a nice Doctorish way to get out out of that scenario, but how the gently caress did she get into it?

I figured it out. The moon was an egg, but unfertilized. Male space butterfly came by and fertilized it. Those spiders aren't bacteria, they are space butterfly seed. That's why the Mexicans died right as the moon started messing up the earth. And they are super dense so the can break the shell of the egg and burrow to the nucleus. That explains the mass gain and why kid companion floated when the spider climbed around... she was caught in it's gravity.

I feel like 12 "works" when he's being a grumpy old man who is kind of a jerk, like when he and Robin Hood are arguing in the prison cell and fighting over who gets to grab the key with their feet. "The good news is that Clara wasn't here to see that" Or when he's terrifies the guard at the orphanage about something you can't see, moving things after you put them down then immediately stealing his coffee and then going to find Wally in a non Where's Wally book.

I think though he's going to have to get over himself though, proving to Danny that he's worth Clara's devotion etc etc.

Like a big American nerd, I ordered some British candy stuff - some of which was Doctor Who related. Already tried Matt Smith's Jammy Dodgers, which were pretty good. Will definitely be ordering more of those as treats.

Today my Jelly Babies arrived though.

Trying my first one - an orange one. Conclusion: Hmm! I rather like them.


Edit: Tried a few more and I really dig them. I will be now stockpiling plenty of imported Jelly Babies in the future because they're wonderful.

The Foxes cover was fantastic, but there again I love genre-swap music; it's not like anybody could have done it better than Freddy in his own style, so why not see if it's possible to switch the style? Nobody's saying it's better than Queen. It's not like it's the Scissors Sisters cover of Comfortably Numb (which, admittedly, I also quite like).

CobiWann posted:

Eight died in the ship crash, and it took the Sisterhood bringing him back to life in order for him to have a shot at regeneration.

I wonder if he would have regenerated at the end of those six minutes anyway, since all the chalice did was give him a choice at what he wanted to be.

Can we please talk more about how incredible it is that someone found a way to use hammerspace in Doctor Who and played it straight?

The Missy plotline will not resolve well, there's just no way that it will.

I liked both of those episodes he wrote, but I think I missed something. Did The Doctor just magic wand away the bad guys at the end or was that set up and I just missed it?

Prison Warden posted:

When the Doctor was talking about all the various types of communication he's come across before, I was kind of hoping for a Curse of Fatal Death reference, oh well.

I know how you feel. Charlie and the chocolate factory also had me apoplectic too.

Wtf?

Irony Be My Shield posted:

Yeah it looks like a fob watch twist to me. The idea of The Master deliberately choosing to regenerate into a young woman in order to get picked up by The Doctor is pretty amusing . Or maybe it's some other Time Lord.

Then again if that were the twist then I wouldn't expect them put such a big hint for it in the preview, so it could just be a fakeout.

EDIT: You know what would have made this episode way better? If they expanded on the zoo breakout and had the field trip at the zoo instead of the museum. Holy poo poo, actual consequences that can actually put these kids in actual danger! Sure, it doesn't fix the horrible anti-meds message, and it's probably not going to make the plot resolutions less stupid. But it would make all the parts of the episode that weren't that become interesting and noteworthy by introducing real stakes.
