CobiWann posted:It’s why I will never understand “hate watching.” Good television is worth discussing after the fact. Bad television deserves to be forgotten after the episode ends. Except, of course, for Timelash. By-and-large I concur, but every once in a long while you find something so utterly awful that it fascinates.

Bicyclops posted:This is basically the reason that the Doctor can't take the sick woman to the weird catperson hospital or do any number of things, because he can't screw with history when the plot demands it, and that's totally fine. "Fixed Points" is as good an "explanation" as it needs and a monster of the week show needn't get bogged down in the moral conundrums of rewriting history or pulling people out of their times every episode. I always took it as the same reason Four takes them into the future in Pyramids of Mars: They get to present day and it's a smoking wasteland because they didn't stop Sutekh in 1912. Incidentally though, I'm a big fan of The Christmas Carol too  .

Big Mean Jerk posted:It was nice of them to directly point out the episode's inspirations. That's pretty much the only thing I enjoyed. My favourite bit was them doing their damnedest to tell the kiddies that Santa isn't real for most of the episode.

Boogaleeboo posted:They had Santa admit that and say what does it matter? Because....what does it matter if Santa isn't real? Santa still saved them. Who cares if he's just a fairytale, he's a pretty good one all told. True, but when you're telling a story involving Santa to small kids, it seems kinda bad to write it as "SANTA ISN'T REAL AND EVERYONE KNOWS THIS AS COMMON KNOWLEDGE, WATCH EVEN THE DOCTOR TELL THE KIDDIES SANTA ISN'T REAL but he might be real in the end..." (That's written for how the tone came across to me, not ranting)

Jerusalem posted:There's something so sweet and sad about the Doctor listening to the bad guys' explanation of why they're doing what they're doing and then assuming that the reason they've trapped him is so they can get him to help them. Poor Doctor just can't comprehend that HE is the monster I just love it for the realization that, to them, he is the most horrifying thing in the universe. They're just doing their normal everyday thing (for them at least) and suddenly this lone rear end in a top hat just drops in out of nowhere and kills entire swathes of their civilizations without warning. Can you blame them?

Random Stranger posted:Regarding the cracks in the universe erasing things, I think the question that everyone should be asking is "How did the ducks get erased?" Parents is obvious, but what about those ducks? Is there another crack in time at the bottom of the pool? Was Amelia just shoving random things into the crack and eventually moved up to ducks and neighborhood cats? Did one of her parents get new ducks for the pond after the Great Duck Blight of 2008? This is a vital question that demands a multipart episode to explain! Day of the Duckleks.

DoctorWhat posted:I can't get it to open. The BACK opens, but the clock face seems jammed. I don't want to break it, though. And I can hear it faintly, when I put my ear up against the glass when the back's open. Are you sure it's broken? Have you actually tried opening it, or are you merely already certain that it's broken. Take another look, to be sure...

Angela Christine posted:I wonder why they particularly wouldn't want to be cremated? The few hours of being in a really hot place would suck, but once your body is reduced to ash it shouldn't cause you anymore trouble, right? In the long run not much worse than being buried and maybe feeling your body slowly rot or turn to soap or whatever happens in modern sealed caskets. All of the options other than being sealed in one of those nice climate controlled water tombs are pretty terrible. Presumably because then you'd be dead and gone. It's not a body anymore, it's just ash.

josh04 posted:Did people not like Last Christmas? I thought the reception for it here was pretty good. It was alright (and It's actually a little bit of a shame the fake-out ending couldn't stick, because it would've been a great twist), but my only real problem with it was that if you're doing a Christmas special in what is fundamentally a family show, the bare bones of it shouldn't be the adults AND the Doctor casually stating that Santa isn't real to the kiddies watching at home.

2house2fly posted:It ends with the implication that Santa is real, just like every Christmas special that features him. I know, I know. What bugged me about it was that even the Doctor's going "nope, not real, how absurd", through the whole episode when usually he's quite happily saying otherwise to that sort of thing.

Bicyclops posted:I watched all of Star Trek last year and to be honest, I felt considerably less embarrassed by even the goofy episodes of TOS than the majority of TNG. It has some really good episodes in the middle and end but even then, the good stuff is sandwiched between like two mind-rape episodes a season. Assuming you watched them in order, I feel sorry for you once you got past DS9 and into Voyager and Enterprise. Though I will admit Enterprise had that surprisingly good Mirror-Mirror two-parter in the last season.

Jerusalem posted:I always remembered the Valeyard as being a personification of the Doctor's negative aspects that he deliberately shunted off from himself inbetween regenerations. That's why the Valeyard was living a half-life, and why he wanted to steal the Doctor's future regenerations to give him an actual life/identity of his own. I really don't see why anyone's getting up in arms over the thirteen-regen limit on the Valeyard anymore. It clearly says between the twelth and final regeneration, which frankly could be any time between now and when the sun actually goes into heat death.

Rochallor posted:We do have enough Masters now to do a multi-Master story! There's Jacobi, Simm, and now Gomez. But honestly, with how totally insane a one Master plan is, I don't know if anybody could write a non-lovely multi-Master episode. A multi-Master story would just be an insane collection of backstabbing and inter-Master murders every two minutes, just for them all to turn up alive and well only to begin again immediately. What am I saying, I totally want to see that! .
