Finally caught up. It was a good season! Honestly, I think the title for this thread was part of why I put off watching it... I figured if "It speaks emoji!" was the only line worth keeping as the title for the entire season, that there must not have been anything good going on. Turns out it's just a terrible thread title.

CommonShore posted:The main difference between this one and the other Master deaths is that it's self-inflicted, so s/he presumably knows all of the tricks and exits. Even if we do get a new Master, it probably won't be for a few years now. Wilderness Years aside, what's the longest they've gone without having The Master show up?

MrL_JaKiri posted:The trouble is that it's always an impression of Hartnell, and it feels ghoulish to me. Same as the CGI Peter Cushing. So do you find every historical episode ever ghoulish as well? Do you also hate biopics? thexerox123 fucked around with this message at 18:13 on Jul 3, 2017 |

Bicyclops posted:That's different; I don't have any issue with biopics, for example, which is an actor portraying a historical figure. An actor doing an imitation of another actor's performance of a specific character is weird, though. It limits the potential of the new actor to give their interpretation of the role (they are specifically imitating another actor's imitation rather than giving their own) and also feels disrespectful to to the original actor they're imitating. Is an actor who is portraying a historical figure that has been on camera (say, Churchill or Nixon) not limited in exactly the same way, though? Meta-context aside, they're still trying their best to recreate a persona that has been on-screen.

Bicyclops posted:The only other example I can think of, weirdly, is MST3K. If tomorrow, Joel Hodgdson died, but the show had an episode where some impressionist was hired to play "Joel Robinson" for a cameo, it would understandably be off-putting and disrespectful. If Joel were dead, and they were doing a multi-host special... ehh, I wouldn't find it disrespectful. Joel Robinson is a character just as much as Crow T Robot is.

Frankly, I feel like recasting the Doctor and coming up with the regeneration mechanism while Hartnell was still alive was way more disrespectful to him as a person. (Though I understand why it happened. And I'm certainly not complaining, as it led to... the entire rest of the franchise.)
