Yeah, it probably is structurally less like Classic Stylee than it has a handful of old school tropes in it under the New Show wrapper. There are a number of bits that probably wouldn't have flown for various reasons back in the 60s-80s, but a lot still reminds me of those times. How much of that was created in the writing or production levels I won't hazard to guess.

Perhaps the new enforced hiatus is an extended search for Capaldi's 2018 replacement now that their original plans with Bowie/Rickman have fallen through. Time for Elba, Grint, or Moran to step up, I suppose. edit: Saunders/Lumley? ThaGhettoJew fucked around with this message at 06:56 on Jan 23, 2016 |

Tim Burns Effect posted:Tamsin Grieg She was even already in Tennant's "The Long Game" episode with Simon Pegg! And the subtext for her wanting that face of course would be putting vaginas in the heads of all the annoying dork fans like her character did to Adam. It all works out. ...And she can rescue Manny from that dreadful Narnia Christmas special and Bernard can come by and drink all the wine and she can listen to the Fisher King do the shipping reports on the radio and it will be just like in my Doctor Who/Black Books fanfic...

If we're blue-skying talent, how about Cate Blanchett? Great actor, solid nerd cred, beautiful and chock a block full of gravitas. Unless Aussies don't count. She lives somewhere in Sussex now, though, so that should be good.

I can understand how this season can come off like a pretty long bummer of an experience. Capaldi's coming to grips with a list of bad options and miseries at every turn and Clara drifts in and out of character and plot importance. There's just not a lot of story uppers around. Pacing and editing problems I want to attribute to a burning-out Moffatt team, but I find myself looking past that and occasional plot holes for the pure Whoness of 12. In its defense, I think about half of this season makes for some pretty solid to quite good Who when viewed holistically with the full run of the show. And if you can view part one of the Zygon story and Attack of the Eyeboogers to be low-quality outliers (say, on par with of a couple of unnamed Tennant stinkers), it compares pretty well with most other seasons. Like, go back through this (TITLE SPOILERS, TOXX)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Doctor_Who_serials -and even if you just do the Modern Era Doctors I would happily drop about a third of most seasons. Admittedly I might like Apprentice/Familiar and Lake/Flood a bit more than this thread, but if you can include the two Christmas specials like Wikipedia does this is as good a season as any since the magical series 5. Capaldi and Clara aren't Tennant and Donna or Smith/Amy/Rory by any stretch, but I'm still mostly down with what the show's been doing.

CobiWann posted:Ok, why the hell wasn't I informed about how awesome Patrick Troughton and Frazer Hines are?!? They rule pretty drat hard. I'm legit sorry you didn't know before now. That is but one of the reasons losing Troughton episodes is such a tragedy. I mean they're so fun you can almost see the original show through the recon slides.

The_Doctor posted:No-one remembers Tiger Woods having to apologise for saying he 'played like a spaz'? Back in 2014 Weird Al had to apologize for using the word spastic in his Robin Thicke/Pharrell/T.I. parody "Word Crimes". It was a minor scandal for music comedy nerds.

Toxxupation posted:so guys i finished series nine and the xmas special Hooray!  I am unironically proud that a non-Who-fan could swallow the entire [modern] show, and with in-depth reports no less.You made it through the tedium and mediocrity, the plotholes and bad effects, the insane dialogue and melodrama, and still found a bit of the joy so many of us eke out of this very silly, very serious "family" genre tv programme.

Rochallor posted:Delta and the Bannerman is a pretty average serial for me, but I'm well aware I'm the only person that even kind of likes it. Dragonfire, too, maybe. Hey, rule one of Doctor Who fandom always applies. For example I still think it's a goofy fairy tale fun time for the most part. It's all about a alien space-princess near-teen romance in a no-budget nowhere Welsh tourist trap, and there's an awkward proto-Ace, cheesy re-recorded 50's pop songs, and Roger Rabbit's Marvin Acme is an American "agent" of some sort. The whole thing is a puff pastry. But all I can ever remember from Dragonfire is Ace's arrival and  . Not even Sabalom Glitz's return made much of an impression.

Burkion posted:Oh please mean he's not going to do most of the writing pretty please Perhaps Chibnall has become aware that his solo scripts have been not particularly well-received. Showrunning seems to have lead to less attention to his writing for Moffatt, so we can only hope that more writers looking over Chib's episodes means there will be no more 42s or Hungry Earths.

The_Doctor posted:For those wondering what Rusty's been up to, he's directed a GoT-inspired adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream for the BBC that sounds fascinating. "...Davies certainly runs with his vision of a play he has clearly loved ever since he was a young boy playing Bottom in a school production, and it makes sense." RTD really has a gift for making subtext into text.
