As much as I always want to tell everybody to start with A Christmas Invasion, unless you're already inclined to enjoy goofy sci-fi or are already leaning towards liking Doctor Who for some other reason, Eleventh Hour is really the easiest episode for somebody who knows nothing about to jump in and enjoy.

Bicyclops posted:It's "Time locked." I think that you're only capable of visiting Gallifrey in their "current" time. I thought the idea of it being "Time locked" was that nobody could visit it, it was all sealed off from time and space along with the whole war. And only the war doctor is having it happen because it happens everywhere at once until he time locks it, at which point it never happened at all, and he only remembers it as part of his personal continuity.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Charles Dance doesn't really have the slight touch of insanity needed to be the Master. He makes a brilliant Patrician though, and I hope he reprises the role at some point. I'm disappointed in all of you. Charles Dance should play The Doctor, not The Master!

The_Doctor posted:Oh no, not recently. I'm waaaaay back in the Eccleston season, like, literally just started at the beginning of the thread. It's actually pretty miraculous how well people have refrained from spoiling stuff after Annekie's initial post about it. I'm just hoping we can keep it up, I love seeing his reactions to the twists especially as we get more and more river-related stuff.

MikeJF posted:poo poo, I thought Pandorica opened happened in 1020, it was 102. Sorry. Huh. I always figured that the stars still existed prior to the doctor getting locked in the pandorica, which is why there are myths/legends/cults (also psychic universe bleedthrough or whatever), but I guess that does kind of all apart (along with everything else  ) because of the whole "universe failing across time and space" thing. I'm not really sure how that timeline would work though, I guess if they still have other history from back then that they should have records of the stars from back then.E: Of course, if they're going out because of actions the doctor never took that involved him travelling into the past before 102 AD, but him making the jump later in his own personal timeline, I suppose that would mean they were always gone.

The_Doctor posted:Despite being satire, Private Eye are usually quite good on the news front.  I wonder if the BBC makes more from dvd sales/netflix paying for a new season of sherlock + Doctor Who every 3 years instead of a new season of one every year? I'd think if they weren't getting some benefit from it that they'd just be all "No, Steven, no. Work on one thing at a time and keep a schedule" at this point. (Alternatively I'd guess he's the only one making them money and they're terrified to cross him.) Also, I really like the hipster-magician doctor, I think the colors and style go with Capaldi's Doctor very well. I don't remember while posting if the video of him on Craig Ferguson was posted here or the other thread, so apologies if this is literally last page, but the whole thing about Capaldi coming up a skinhead made me actively appreciate the outfit outside of thinking it works fine for The Doctor, because it's neat that he basically gets to wear what he already wears. surc fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Aug 6, 2015 |

I'd actually be curious to see RTD write a few things for Big Finish. Maybe not having all the visual stuff to lean on would fix some of the issues with his writing. Big Finish already lends itself pretty well to big emotional sweeps, since they're relying on voice to convey everything. E: Oh, looks like last year they adapted a novel he wrote like a decade before becoming showrunner. Not quite the same, but anybody have impressions on it? I missed it if Jeru/Cobi reviewed it. (https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/damaged-goods-standard-edition-1109) Rochallor posted:I would expect that's the reason we're down to 13 episodes a year. How much money does the BBC lose from people picking up the DVD box set and going, "Well, maybe if there were 13 episodes..."? They basically save a whole episode's budget. surc fucked around with this message at 16:24 on Aug 7, 2015 |

I didn't mean to add to the pile, I was just wondering if it had been reviewed already! (I'm sure you really mind )
