The person who put that cover together should have their copy of photoshop taken away.

Bicyclops posted:I'd also argue that a lot of what stunts Enterprise before it can even take off is being weighed down by about 40 years of "the Trek Universe." The episode where Enterprise tries to make a canon explanation for why 60's Klingons had different foreheads was definitely the point where it had bludgeoned itself to death with it's own continuity.

Yeah that cover is pretty horrendously put together.echoplex posted:The episode where Enterprise tries to make a canon explanation for why 60's Klingons had different foreheads was definitely the point where it had bludgeoned itself to death with it's own continuity. Especially since DS9 already handled it in the best way possible (apart from completely ignoring it which is the absolute best and most correct way to handle it). Bashir: Those Klingons don't have forehead ridg- Worf: We do not talk about that

Moffat should never be allowed near a microphone because every time he approaches one, he performs a magic trick where he shoves his foot into his mouth and somehow kicks one of his old teleplays with it.

The next few months will probably feature a series of interviews where Moff makes himself look worse and worse and end with the show getting canceled.

Whoa, David Suchet is going to be in an episode this season? It's going to be weird seeing him play someone besides Poirot anymore. Pitting the Doctor against the famous Belgian detective is sure to stir up a real... Wasp's Nest.

He was actually put up as one of the possible replacements of Tenant before Smith was hired, if I remember right. That would have been pretty cool, but then they found an actual alien (possessed by the spirit of Patrick Troughton no less!) so that put an end to that.

I could see him being a great Master under the right circumstances. I'm glad he's got a role, either way, and that he gets to work with Peter Capaldi.

In the ultimate culmination of his story arcs, Moffat appears as himself in the S10 finale, looks into a mirror and bellows "YOU ARE ERASED FROM DOCTOR WHO!". The episode ends. Fans worldwide can't seem to recall anything from the previous six years, but are left with a nagging feeling of loss.

I'm on Time Flight now on my front-to-back Classic Who sojurn. I'm starting to enjoy the screwdriverless stories. I can see lots of little points in the writing where the writers could have had Davison pull out a sonic screwdriver to solve a problem, but some other smaller charming thing happens instead - such as flipping a coin to decide which path to take (as opposed to scanning with the sonic).

Time-Flight also has the best unnecessarily pointless villain twist ever. It's not a particularly good story by most metrics, but there are some very fine Davison moments, Tegan is in her element finally, and Adric actually manages not to ruin anything because he is dead. Also Nyssa is there.

He has a new jacket with blue lining instead of red this year. Possibly as a per-episode variant like blue/brown Tennant.

I rather enjoyed that preview/teaser/trailer/whatever. Got in on DWSS at the last minute, and as I don't have tons of financial/general drama going on this year I fully intend to rock it to make up for my poor showing last year. Planning in advance financially, believe it or not, is helpful! Can't wait to get my assignment and start creepily stalking my victim. I generally hate the holidays, but love Doctor Who and this thread is one of my favorites on SA (if not my fav). Splendid posters, all of you.

So I just got back from Doctor Strange, and maybe it's because I haven't seen the show for long enough that I've started seeing it elsewhere, but it is a VERY Doctor Who-esque movie. It only gets more pronounced as the movie goes, honestly, to the point where the climax is basically just Heaven Sent's ending. EDIT: In fact, I can't shake the notion that the early sequence of Strange's consciousness getting tossed across reality includes a few shots based on Who title sequences. I recall being reminded of Four's, Ten's and Eleven's in particular. Cleretic fucked around with this message at 05:03 on Nov 19, 2016 |
