Well, the Lost Stories ARE the $15 tier stuff, so they did do that, but yeah, kinda weird to go with Dalek Empire. Though isn't Briggs really proud of that series?

Rat Flavoured Rats posted:I have a massive crush on Faye Marsay. I'm torn on her character. On the one hand, she's a really good decoy companion. (She's clearly there so that when they do the Clara-is-elderly fakeout that you assume she's the replacement.). On the other, that's because she's basically Lucie from Big Finish. Like, if they'd gotten Sheridan Smith to play her, I'm pretty sure BF would be owed some money.

Yvonmukluk posted:Considering it was rumoured that Clara was actually leaving, I wouldn't be surprised if she was written to be the next companion till Coleman changed her mind. Her being the one that instantly gravitated to how implausible it was for Santa to be there certainly points that way. It's exactly the sort of thing you can see the Doctor using as his reason for asking her to join him. Fair Bear Maiden posted:I think the rumor was that they initially wrote it as Clara's ending and then patched it up to allow her to continue to travel with the Doctor, and to be honest, the script really feels like that. I don't mind, though, I like Clara as a companion and she had a good arc during the last season. I sort of wish they'd just scrapped the old Clara ending then. We ended up with Return of the King syndrome a bit. I understand how painful it might have been, as Coleman and Capaldi are really good in that scene (especially impressive for Jenna, under that makeup), but it's all sleight of hand as it currently stands. It works in the moment, but loses a lot once you know the 'twist'.

Rat Flavoured Rats posted:I just got done finishing up the copy of Silver Nemesis that I got for Christmas. It wasn't nearly as bad as I had been led to believe, and makes me miss the EXCELLENT 80s Cybermen even more. Ace and her +2 Slingshot of Cyberman Murder are kind of charming. It's still dumb that it's the 'official' 25th anniversary story when Remembrance Of The Daleks is so much more clearly meant as that.

"Remember, this is the Brig's daughter! You remember the Brig, right?!" "Hey, the Brig may be gone, but he had a daughter! This is her, right here!!!" And so on... Yeah, they'd be much better off doing more stuff like her throwing the busted Cyberman helmet down. Show us she's a no-nonsense UNIT commander, don't just talk about how awesome her dad was.

Davros1 posted:I was surprised by the last set. They kept most of the Benny obnoxiousness away, except for in the first story. I was disappointed by the fact Davros is in it for a two minute monologue, and THAT'S it. No interaction with another character, nothing. Other than the Davros thing (which was a fine monologue, just odd to have it without payoff- yet?) that might be my favourite Dalek story... maybe ever.

Yeah, some people outside the UK may not realise it, but Who kinda started a bit of a revival in doing genre TV over here. BBC did new versions of Robin Hood and Merlin, as well as currently airing Musketeers and Atlantis series, and ITV had Primeval. egon_beeblebrox posted:Oh bummer, I was going to get my wife some of the Stargate audios. She loves Stargate. Since they're out of print, maybe they'll pop up somewhere. Try and find her the third season. It's not perfect, but it has Shanks and Black (and the dude who played Ba'al) and does at least try to tie up some elements that were a bit abruptly handled in the show.

Yeah, bear in mind that Lego Ideas submissions are made by fans as concept pieces and then submitted. So if they don't have a piece appropriate for a specialised thing, they'll either need to make one (kit-bashing or 3D printing) or improvise with what they do have.

It's incredibly unlikely, but it'd be amazing if they kept it a secret, and at the end of the first new UNIT set, the UNIT team are trapped by the Autons, but Kate's able to hit some signalling whatsit she's been fiddling with throughout the series... *VWORRP VWORRP* "What do we have here? A gaggle of Autons? Welllll, I say a gaggle, more of a swarm really. Wellll, I say a swarm, more like a hive... Tsk, Kate, you have had some cowboys in here." (Only, y'know, less rubbish dialogue)

I don't hate Terror Firma with nearly the fervour of others here, but it's been so long since I heard it, I can't really put together a defence of it either. I will note one moment I liked a lot, enough that it's stuck in my head. Davros brings up the events of Genesis and Remembrance to the Doctor, and McGann basically spits his lines in reply, "This is where I hem and haw, 'did I have the right?', OF COURSE I HAD THE RIGHT!"

Astroman posted:Did not know that. Hell, part of the reason you never find out the name (and I believe part of why McGoohan didn't like the notion of it being a sequel to Danger Man) is that Number 6 is meant as a symbol of individuality, more than an individual unto himself. You can absolutely have that same concept with someone else playing the part. Hell, we're discussing this in a Doctor Who thread!
