Or he could've not regenerated because being crushed underwater and drowning doesn't give his body space to be alive again.

Oh my god, if Big Finish ever got the rights to The Centurion Rory Chronicles imagine his various adventures with classic doctors over the past thousand years. EDIT: DAMNIT that wouldn't work, he was only around in the Starless universe. I still want Rory's adventures. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 11:04 on Apr 7, 2015 |

I like Murray Gold when he doesn't have RTD poking him with a stick shouting MORE DRAMATIC, even if he does lean a bit too much on the main leitmotifs.

Jerusalem posted:God Complex and The Girl Who Waited are both absolutely amazing episodes, amongst the best of the entire revival, and I feel like they get overlooked a bit because they're in season 6 which was overall such an uneven mess. Honestly, I really think that it would've been better if the order were reversed, and The Girl Who Waited was the last straw that sent the Ponds home. I mean admittedly as is it still reads that way, but it's kinda dulled. Although on the other hand, Girl Who Waited is probably better served by not having the fond farewell ending, so... eh, I dunno. Maybe if they'd just linked back Rory's desire to leave in God Complex to the horrible experience of Girl Who Waited more explicitly. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 15:53 on Apr 23, 2015 |

poo poo, I thought Pandorica opened happened in 1020, it was 102. Sorry. Although that said, the TARDIS exploded in 2010 and Rory saw the stars vanish in 102, so I suspect it was like the cracks where the stars never existed except in some vague way that leaked into minds.

I can understand why the crack is a fear; it represents the destruction of everything. The universe he's spent his life protecting. And not just that, but retroactively, too. But... ehh. Speculation is funner.

Bicyclops posted:I feel like when I actually watch Torchwood, the "Torchwood is the worst thing in the Universe, worse than getting your toes stomped on while you watch Star Trek: Voyager" stuff is going to over-prepare me to the point where I say "I don't know. The dog in this show isn't really that shaggy." One of the main characters attempts to rape a woman using drugs in the first episode during his free time and this isn't ever really brought up and he just happily continues along as a member of the team.

The_Doctor posted:I reasoned that the Master's TARDIS was somehow wrapped around the inside of St. Paul's cathedral, because the 3C building was clearly not the same place. The Doctor outright said that the cathedral was bigger on the inside, but just implied Missy had engineered that. I doubt it was her TARDIS. If nothing else, doesn't landing a TARDIS inside a TARDIS make things go wonkadoo?

Jerusalem posted:Time of the Doctor has problems, but yeah I was kinda shocked to hear its name bandied about as not just bad, but somehow worse than the utter drek that is Doctor, Widow, Wardrobe. That's opinions for you, though! I rewatched it lately and I feel like it's improved greatly with time. And it does strike a large number of the themes of Eleven's run. It still feels like there's a lot of cut material, though. And it had the disadvantage of coming off one of the best all-around episodes of Doctor Who's run.

Jerusalem posted:Oh absolutely, and I think the fact that Jenna Coleman was initially going to leave the show at the end of season and then requested to come back for the Christmas Special and THEN requested to come back for Season 9 indicates that she really enjoys being on the show and working with Capaldi (who wouldn't!?!) The dynamic of Clara and Twelve's playfully mocking relationship is great and I hope we see a lot more of it, love those two together. When was Capaldi cast? I can't help but wonder if they did a screentest of Coleman and Capaldi in secret. Hopefully now that we've gotten the payoff of the whole age thing with Twelve saying he doesn't see Clara's age in the Christmas Special old-age bit (which was obviously meant to be more significant when she was leaving), we can stop with the calling her old thing though.

jivjov posted:Yeah; I really liked her in her first appearance, where she basically was acting as an equal to the Doctor...but he had no idea who she was. She just got more smug and more puzzle box-y with each appearance. On the other hand, for all the episode's flaws I really liked her in Angels Take Manhattan, when both she and the Doctor were late in the story and there were very few secrets left. They were both more mature in their interactions.

Android Blues posted:They'd use the Silence, but nobody remembers them. The Silence'd probably work a lot better than the Angels for audio. Although the advantage of Angels is that The Doctor already knew about them in Blink, so it leads to less continuity problems. (Although the Silence do have a self-solving mechanism for that built in...) That said, I reckon it'd be much better to explore some of the more minor new monsters, some of them could be really cool to flesh out.

Barry Foster posted:Peter Davison (He Who May Be Kissed) was pretty laidback. You definitely get the impression he'd rather just have a nice quiet time playing cricket or looking at cool space stuff, rather than having to deal with adventuring and a TARDIS full of kids. Honestly, that's why he's always felt kinda... un-Doctor-y to me. A bit too chill.

Organza Quiz posted:Speaking of the Missy reveal in the Toxx thread, something I found kind of interesting was that that Doctor Who iOS game with the gem matching released a level with her just after the episode aired, except the names of the moves she had made it sound like she was a robot. I'm pretty sure their team was told that she was a cybercontroller or something like that while they were making the level. Don't forget her mid-episode "I am an android" prank.

I was mostly joking about her being the Master but one of the benefits of The Master is that we don't need to be too careful about incarnations, since they're offscreen so much. I could totally see Moffat doing a multi-Master episode with a future Master we never see again.

jivjov posted:It was alright; it's set in that same brief window when the TARDIS crew is 9, Rose, and Jack; which is starting to feel a little crowded (I know Doctor Who doesn't emphasize continuity like, say, the Star Wars universe, but I've just noticed that a LOT of 9 media gets set right there before Boom Town.) To be fair, that gap between Doctor Dances and Boom Town where Jack was with them was the vast majority of 9's life.
