Anonymouse Mook posted:I'm rather holding out for Alex MacQueen myself Oh I can only hope if The Master comes back, it's with either MacQueen or Gatiss. Since I kinda doubt Gatiss would want to take on a recurring role (and a well known one), I will hold out for MacQueen. Now we get Tennant to don some make-up and he can be a secondary character as Brimmicombe-Wood. In fact, let's just start producing Big Finish stories and call it a day. I would love an "Unbound" episode, or whatever you want to call it, where it completely changes things (like Turn Left but with less focus on "this is the correct path and if you fail to follow it BAD poo poo HAPPENS" and more on just exploring the world after the point of departure. Hell, make it an alternate reality thing if you need a reason. Maybe just send Clara there and she gets to meet this "alternate Doctor" (who eventually sends her home, of course). OK now I'm just writing fan-fiction, time to go

I can't remember if it was implied, assumed, or ambiguous - all I recall is Smith's "breaking new ground" statement from Time. If it's ambiguous, I wonder if that uncertainty plays into some of the 'unexpectedly grumpy' thing. Just had a thought as I started to hit post - what if all this "am I a good man" stuff is because The Doctor came face to face with his own mortality, and doesn't want to be 'judged' poorly in death (He wants to get into Afterlife/Promised Land/maybe he is starting to open to the possibility of a non-science based world?). Or Moffatt just said "This Doctor is gonna be DIFFERENT" because he was bored. Whatever.

DoctorWhat posted:... So did everyone miss the post I made about Maggie Stables suggesting in an interview that Evelyn should be made a fan of pot brownies? Evelyn is definitely my #1 companion for Six, but I based it entirely on the character and haven't heard much behind the scenes stuff with her. Maggie just won me over on that front as well. To be fair, us stoners are pretty easy to impress. Just mention weed in a non-alarmist way and that pretty much sinks it. By the way, how is the Big Finish Talks with Maggie? I saw you received it - the only behind the scenes stuff I've listened to has been for Unit Dominion and Light at The End, but those were fun so might pick up some interview discs if they're recommended. Attitude Indicator posted:no, we didn't. but you're really goddamn annoying so maybe we're just ignoring you Boo. DoctorWhat is sometimes obnoxious with his over-enthusiasm, but I still look forward to his posts because I've picked up so much trivia from him that it more than balances out, IMO.

jng2058 posted:I'd try Unregenerate. It's not a classic or anything, but it did manage to surprise me some down the stretch, which counts for something. I remember enjoying this, but that's about all I remember except somehow time lords are involved . This is my opportunity to praise Unit: Dominion again, but I absolutely adore this story. It's probably my #1 for most re-listens. l I know it is regarded well by those who listen to it, but I don't know how popular it is among the general crowd. So might be a deeper cut, might not, but good regardless! Part of my love for it is the fact that I didn't have the twist spoiled for me, so it was really a twist. edit: And I have given copies of Live 34 to two people (along with Light at the End) to introduce them to Big Finish, so gotta prop that here as well. I adore that format, but I am also a big War of the Worlds fan. Reviews tend to be hit or miss due to the format.

Gaz-L posted:Red Dawn I can vouch for being awful. The only reason I remember anything about it is because the title is so obvious about it being an Ice Warriors story. For decent Ice Warrior stories, check out Lords of the Red Planet, which is an origin story with the 2nd Doctor. Thin Ice and Crime of the Century are another set of decent Ice Warrior stories (Though I forget if Crime has much of them besides an off-hand reference or two. I can't remember if the alien mercenaries hired by the Soviet Colonel are Ice Warriors or Metatraxi (sp?) , with the 7th Doctor, Ace, and Rain. Both of those are from the Lost Stories collection. edit: OK, Crime is the Metatraxi, and I now remember why I love them so much such as once the Doctor fixes one of their universal translators, but he fixes it into "early 90s surfer" mode.

Here's a different topic that I see popping up repeatedly in this thread, but it finally has personal significance to me so I'll bring it back up. Classic Who really does have kind of a 'reverse tolerance' thing with regard to the different eras (filming/editing/scripting/padding/etc). I honestly didn't believe it and really had to force myself through episodes, but these days I find myself glad for the end of the night so I can go through my post-teaching ritual of making/eating dinner while watching whatever classic serial I managed to find at the Library. One part per day is perfect pacing and I thank this thread for giving me the info I needed to cross the boundary from a partial Who nerd into a complete Who nerd. Luckily my local library branches have a healthy selection, since I killed my Hulu account (and have burned through the pathetically small and seemingly random Netflix/Amazon collection). edit: Perfect opportunity to ask, in your opinions, what's the best 'representation' of the First Doctor, episode wise? I don't mean the typical 'best' or whatever that's usually asked, but what gives the best overall feel for his run? I've never watched an entire one of his and he's the only Doctor I have been unable to get myself into. edit: gently caress, I thought I remembered Dark Eyes 3 coming out in October so I went to check today and now it seems it was pushed to November and I never noticed. So excited for this one. McGann fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Oct 14, 2014 |

Senor Tron posted:That's one interpretation but the dialogue in the episode suggests that he simply died too quickly and was dead before having chance to regenerate. He has a discussion with Wilf later on in the series that says that can happen. Yeah, I have always thought the dialogue was explicit in that scene, he died too quickly to regenerate. I think the UNIT guy was a regular (for UNIT episodes, anyway?) and knew what he looked like, so would be kinda dumb for him to say that if he was wearing a different face. qntm posted:I'm about to go back in time and make it known earlier. Maybe you already did? What if you were the one he heard it from, originally, you just haven't gone back and done it yet? What if he is from the future, went back and told you?

Ah, I am just starting to re-watch some of Tennant's run, so I forgot that Turn Left had a big chronological leap backwards. Though it should've been obvious in retrospect. What I'm saying is: Touché. And 10 is definitely a loving sociopath. Which leads me to a very spergy thought - do time lords have mental disorders? If so, do they carry on with the next regeneration? Then I thought 'bout it for 5 seconds and realized I didn't actually care. Carry on, nerd brain.

I would put 7 and 12 as sociopaths if they didn't still feel moral responsibility (and early 1, though I am using this thread as a reference and not my own interpretation). In fact, I guess Time Lord Society (tm) as a whole kinda fits the theme depending on how you view their non-interventions/CIA actions (god I hate that acronym).

jng2058 posted:I've always figured that, as usual, the Doctor is an outlier. I expect that, at least until the Time War anyway, most Time Lords regenerated when they wanted to, not because they needed to from traumatic injury. The Doctor lives a dangerous life and therefore has to save his regenerations for when he's inevitably killed in action. Most Time Lords probably flip the switch when aging starts to be a problem or when they feel the current body start to perform sub-optimally. I dunno, I got the opposite feel from Dark Eyes as (spoilers for the last 3rd of Dark Eyes to follow) Straxis has one of his CIA operatives sacrifice themselves on Stranghor (sp), where The Doctor assumes he hasn't regenerated before (and he confirms this, or he is saying 'no, not possible' - kinda hard to tell in the context) and starts to explain it before being told it's not possible.. Then again, Dark Eyes is set pretty close to the start of the Time War, so could still fit into your theory. But that's just the most recent audio I recall that mentioned regeneration explicitly, I'm sure if I wiki'd it enough I would find several opposite examples (and several more supporting it, and then two more crazy rear end theories that make no sense) edit: vvv True, I had that thought but it struck me as odd that a CIA operative was assumed to have never regenerated before.

Jerusalem posted:That moment where the Doctor reveals he set things up so he could force the Mummy to choose him as its next target is absolutely stunning, and the way his theme kicks in is the perfect accompaniment. I haven't agreed with the people who said that Capaldi didn't quite feel like he was the Doctor yet, but surely nobody could question it after THAT moment? Hell, reading that review made me load up Mummy for a third viewing before Saturday. I really, really, enjoyed that episode. I'm not sure if I like Into the Dalek or Mummy on the Orient Express better, but between the two they're the most enjoyable of the season (thus far).

Considering all the "wink and nod" stuff we've gotten so far, I would not be surprised to see this restriction lifted as we move away from the 50th. What I wouldn't be expecting (but hope for against all hopes) is some War Doctor audios. Y'know what would be hard to do 'right' but would be an interesting thought? Get McGann/Hurt together for a multi-Doctor story. You think 10/11 had disdain for the War Doctor? Imagine 8 meeting him, especially a war-weary 8 (Dark Eyes era) who is already desperately seeking some hope to hold onto. "Y'know that thing you're expending so much energy and stressing about staying out of? Yeah, you eventually give in anyway" I think if enough time passed, we might actually get some War Doctor / Time War audios. However, considering Hurt's age, I don't see it happening. Sadly. edit: Though looking at his wiki page (to find his actual age - 74), seems his father lived until 95. So he's got the genes (potentially) for a longer than average life!

I'd forgotten the second Klein trilogy even existed (nevermind the fact that I'd listened to it before - shut up, I drank a lot then) but I'm not sure how to feel about it. It's not as good as the initial one, but it's not bad, except that the (finale spoiler) end threat is pretty much the same as Light at the End / Name of the Doctor - someone wants to undo every victory the Doctor has ever had! Shock! Granted, it came out before both of those but still . I'm curious what the overall feel is with these stories? My favorite of the bunch was probably Starlight Robbery (made me REALLY want a Dalek vs Sontaran battle , and I could listen to Will Arrowsmith second-guessing himself in EVERY story, I love his 'stereotypical nerd' thing that he manages to pull off without it sounding like an obvious stereotype. I would like to hit a 5th doctor story next before I inevitably get J&L 8, any suggestions for a "deep cut" or personal fave? I've listened to the usual recommendations.

This happened to me yesterday, actually. Giving Voyage to Venus a re-listen (Six + J&L? loving right!) and the "animal noises" that are supposed to be alien are some of the same stock animal noises from Ultima Online (which I played pretty much the entirety of my teen years). Not as common but it did pop up multiple times in that audio and it took me out of it every time. Btw, DoctorWhat that recc for 1001 Nights was spot on. I absolutely loved that story (and the stories within the story, as it were). Boy, that audio doesn't go where you think it's going to - which is a good thing.

I am glad I don't live in Irish Joe's world, where no one can have a hobby unless it "has a point". Y'know, beyond being enjoyable and probably stress relieving. I fight as an amateur, don't have any intention to go Pro for a career (though I will do it as a "end goal" before I retire). I basically get injured for no purpose what-so-ever. Same thing with any amateur athlete or hobbyist for ANY ACTIVITY. Unless you spend 100% of your time making direct contributions to society as a whole, you're essentially wasting your time and resources on "pointless activities". Except no activity is pointless, we're human beings. Every action has a point, no one does anything unless they get something positive from it . It may not be obvious as a direct cause/effect, but he's benefiting somehow from the activity/collection/whatever. I understand your point is to piss people off and that's how you get enjoyment, but come on. At least make a better argument if you're going to pointlessly engage in discussion in this thread, or attack someone directly. I mean, poo poo, by that logic why even bother living? You're going to die and lose all your money/friends/family/etc anyway. Why waste the time/effort? edit: I just realized that Irish Joe is basically the anti-Doctor, arguing against some of the primary 'ideals' the show tries to inspire in people. And to make this post relevant to the show itself: I enjoyed the magical growing forest, but I recognize the stupidity of the entire concept. It's was enjoyable, and that's what matters to me. vvvv Sorry about the effort post response to a troll, but I was a philosophy major (pointless degree btw) and this poo poo is fun for me, even if I sound heated I still would love to debate with you Irish Joe but you gotta put a little more effort into the logic behind your statements.

Irish Joe posted:The Seventh Doctor is the best Doctor because he's always prepared for rain. That's the trick, though. The value you attach to it is not the same as someone who enjoys the activity. Never mind the better argument that's already been posted (You're not paying for a single 30 minute session, but a lifetime of rebuilding and tweaking/etc), you're making the mistake of thinking the $Amount:Value is the same for you as it is for someone with an engineering streak. Hell, I've never owned nor do I understand the appeal of Legos - but I do understand that some people get enjoyment out of it. The same as I get enjoyment out of being punched in the face (well, more so if they miss but you get the idea), but 99% of the world thinks I'm a loving loon. Plus, there are side benefits not directly related to the actual activity which add value. I do appreciate the additional thoughts because it lets me see better where you're coming from - I agree that on the face, the cost/benefit does suck. But I also think $150 to enter a bodybuilding show is retarded (plus $200 more for a NPC card required to compete, and it expires in TWO MONTHS), but that doesn't stop people who enjoy the process. (Sorry, spent the weekend watching my sister compete in a physique competition, and it blows my mind what a rip-off/cash cow that entire sport is). But she loves it, it relieves stress and it's a hell of a lot better than what she focused on before (It ended with her in an orange jumpsuit, to give an idea). However, I like your point about turning your creative hobby into a productive outlet - though you run the risk of ruining the hobby by making it a "job", if you can find a hobby you enjoy and not let it become "work", that's the best possible outcome right there. Some people don't want to run that risk, though - or prefer to keep it a hobby for simplicity sake, or have no interest in producing additional value for society. That's not to say it's not an investment in themselves, if it's a positive outlet and doesn't overtake higher priority things (food, shelter, mental and physical health, financial health, etc). btw I have to agree about 7's Umbrella being the best possible accessory, except when it (spoiler for the Klein trilogy) gets him shot for having it mistaken for a gun .

Unfortunately with no Brigadier (even though he was only in the 'prequel' and last one, with a small part in #2), I think it's pretty unlikely we'll see any more soon.

PriorMarcus posted:I'm going to buy Dark Eyes next. What's the general consensus? Also, is there an on going plot between the three parts? As far as I know, and I agree with the opinion, Dark Eyes 1 is superior to Dark Eyes 2. But that's "great" versus "pretty good". There is an over-arcing plot though I think you could get through 2 without listening to 1, due to context clues/exposition. I get the sense that as we get further into the series, the ties between the "series" will be getting stronger - but it's really only hinted at now. For those who have heard them both Am I remembering correctly that The Master was the one who sent the funds/plans to Sally Armstrong in the Dark Eyes 1 timeline? I believe he mentions something about that when he's Dr. De'ath (still lol at that). And yes, Dark Eyes 3 was originally listed as October. It was changed to November at some point. edit: TinTower posted:And Ace. I mean, seriously, girl attacked a Dalek with a baseball bat. Because it called her small. It's amusing that according to the audios, there's an alien world out there with a statue of Ace and her baseball bat - I guess she thought it worked pretty well. You would think they'd fix that weakness but meh.

DoctorWhat posted:The audio with the Ace statue is the third story in the second Klein trilogy. I checked and it's Daleks Among Us, which is the most spoilerific title of all time considering the plot. Plus the statue itself makes no sense considering they're ignoring the Dalek invasion(s), historically and contemporary, why would they leave up a statue to a hero of the Dalek War? but those stories weren't the greatest. Which sucks, because I enjoy the UNIT: Dominion version of Klein (and everything to do with Dominion, actually).

DoctorWhat posted:he doesn't have to, because it's really really great. And my taste in audios is impeccable, so you can trust me on that! It's absolutely fantastic (edit: got confused and thought it was The One Doctor but Fourth Wall is great too!) Also I wanted to post this, since I got linked to the "Doctor's Gonna Bust a Cap" video from the Oxx thread, turns out he did a newer version where The Doctor doesn't even care if it's a gun, he's still gonna kick your rear end/kill you dead somehow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNuHV-iLBRw Go to sleep, bitch!

DoctorWhat posted:No, that's The One Doctor. The Fourth Wall is something else. I was hoping I snuck that edit in before you noticed, but I was just a *tad* slow it seems. Yeah I get those confused because they're both "funny" Six audios. Fourth Wall is great because it's basically Last Action Hero but with Six/Flip.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Especially something like the last scene of Doctor's Wife Hell, let's just use the jury-rig version from The Doctor's Wife, I think the velvet rope look is pretty rad. Though, that Rani control room is pretty awesome too (I've managed to never see Time or Mark, though I guess I'll have to fix that if Big Finish is putting out Rani stories).

I've watched Dimensions in Time (twice!), does that equal out to better or worse than Time? The second time was to attempt to figure out what the gently caress I'd just watched - followed by 15 minutes on the internet trying to figure out how exactly it managed to be made into a special.

RodShaft posted:Counterpoint: when showing your kids photos of your wedding, you can have stupid stories like that("it was from a tv show" *eye roll* "and Mom still married you?"), or you can just have, "here we are all lined up again. Here we are lined up in a different order" Advice that won't matter because A) I've never been married and B) you won't read this before it happens anyway!: Gotta agree with Rod, except I say go all out and do whatever for the ceremony too (as long as the soon-to-be-wife agrees, of course - it's really HER day, if it's like any other wedding I've been to). Having been to tons of weddings and been in a fair few, they're so loving boring for everyone in attendance - and doubly so for anyone you force to watch the video/show pictures to. That's the honest truth, it's like vacation photos that don't include people (or really, vacation photos in general) - everyone looks/watches because they feel obligated. So do whatever makes you happy and gently caress anyone who says otherwise. (caveat: I don't give a rat's rear end about the religious implications of marriage, so if that's a big deal to you then obviously you should follow whatever example your particular denomination/sect agrees with)

egon_beeblebrox posted:Yeah, that is my bad. Jacobi needs to be a part of any Multi-Master story. Hell, they could use it to explain why he ran away. And why he was a robot companion to the Doctor one time. No joke, if they referenced that, I would love it. Jacobi has played The Master & The Doctor (sorta), I just realized that, even though I listened to Deadline just last week.

Random Stranger posted:It's a reference to Chameleon, whose storyline was a bit of a mess. Kamelion* I've seen The King's Demon but no other stories with him in it. I know The Master gets control again, does he take on his image as well? edit: Ok, I had to look it up and found this bit of hilarious cheese instead quote:[Kamelion later] had a child with the Doctor's TARDIS (PROSE: The Reproductive Cycle)

Astroman posted:Oh, and was anyone else hoping the Doctor would just shrug, snap his fingers, and walk in the TARDIS after Clara threw away the last key? or: I laughed at your post and I think that was the intended reaction so I'll shut up

Cleretic posted:
Which is easily explained away as just a connection the Master uses to get the Doctor to show up. I love speculating on stuff that will probably end up being way off base (or incredibly accurate, as we all found out last night re: Missy). Complete waste of time, but still just the right amount of nerdy obsession to warm my heart  .
