cargohills posted:I can't imagine Netflix being a very good platform for a family show either. Their current crop of original content is all comedy/drama for an adult audience. DoctorWhat posted:IMO it's extremely important that Doctor Who remains a product of a publicly-funded broadcaster, even if that means we don't get as much of it. But Netflix carried Doctor Who previously and that didn't undermine its status as a public production. Why couldn't licensing revenue go into the production budget? Anyway, speaking as a Canadian viewer, I'd love if they came to a licensing agreement to have new episodes crackerjack fast on the 'Flix. e. just to clarify, I don't mean to remove it from the BBC, but rather to put new episodes up fast in non-BBC markets.

I've just started rolling Rob Brydon around in my head as a possibility. I'm not sure though, as I haven't seen much of him outside of The Trip and A Cock And Bull Story, but there's something about how he can be self-absorbed and blase, which could be fun for The Doctor. --Doctor! Doctor! The Daleks are exploding the supermassive black hole in the centre of the galaxy! --(in Michael Caine voice)You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!

Jerusalem posted:The buildup through season 8 to the climax of Mummy on the Orient Express was handled just fantastically. Clara blowing up at this unfeeling rear end in a top hat who replaced HER Doctor only for THE DOCTOR to make his triumphant return was just fantastic I like that episode  Anyone have any contacts at Buckingham Palace? I think we need a royal decree that no actor/actress under 40 ever be cast as the Doctor, and that under 50 only be permitted in an emergency.

I'm not going to link it, but did anyone else see that GQ article about who should take over for Capaldi and "save the series", written by someone who apparently has neither watched nor ever enjoyed Doctor Who in any form? The one which posted stuff like "lolololo" at the suggestion that anyone other than a handsome young white guy could play the role?

Hiro Protagonist posted:I haven't watched Doctor Who since series 6, and while I enjoyed it, I got sick of the universe ending and the Doctor's companions being secret awesome bad asses that can control the universe or live for thousands of years. Has the Peter Capaldi series been better and more, I don't know, controlled? How would you say they compare to Matt Smith? Not just quality, but in style and scope and the like. There has been a bit of the secret awesome badasses stuff, but that's actually set to change this series. I like Capaldi, but his scripts have been wildly uneven. The last series had both one of the all-time best Who stories, and one of the all-time worst.

Did Eccleston just hate doing the show or something? Thinking about it, I've known for some time that he decided to end his own run, but I've never actually been clear on why, and why he's so distant from the show now.

I'm 35, Canadian, and the original series wasn't on in any reasonably accessible way for me when I was a kid. It was on, but I didn't know anyone who watched it, and so I was always confused by what was happening and why it was black and white sometimes, and why it was in colour others, and why the same people never seemed to be on. I didn't get into the new series at first because it was recommended to me by someone with exquisitely bad taste, though I saw the end of Waters of Mars at a friend's house and thought it was decent. I didn't get into the series in any focused way until I was invited to a 50th anniversary ep party, which I accepted because of the woman who invited me, not because of the show. So really, John Hurt was my first Doctor. I didn't realize this until now.

Cleretic posted:I'm trying, man! You're dealing with the Uncanny, friend. In this case it's specifically the revelation that the mundane and everyday has more than we can see. I think that almost anything involving 11's crack in space and time, and the concept of people being erased from time falls into this category - how do we know what we've forgotten?

I'm into series 26 on my front-to-back viewing. Battlefield is fun and good and bad. I gather that the prose and audios have filled out the story some, but to have Capaldi play the other half of that plot would be outright jolly.

Just finished Survival and I've started the movie. I'm about 70 minutes away from having watched every extant doctor who story from the main canon. It has taken me about two years to slowly work my way through them After this comes the 1960s movies, and then the audio reconstructions, and then follows the sweet release of death.

Carbon dioxide posted:This is impossible because with the old series it's incredibly clear they were supposed to be watched weekly, and if you try to watch a bunch of them right after each other you'll just get burned out. If you don't you're not human. I was able to blitz stories from the first three doctors pretty ravenously when I was in the mood.
