Murderion posted:I'm glad his episode this year managed to avoid having a terrible moral message by completely loving it up. Yes, genetic engineering/fertiliser research/biochemistry (seriously what the gently caress were they doing) could potentially be lethal if you build your lab like a loving imbecile. I'm just glad he continues his batting average of being a total waste of time, only this time without confusing metaphors and bullshit

It does make me wonder how often the other Doctors ever got to hang out together. I know Sylvester was fairly used to Tom's more drunken antics

HopperUK posted:I love it when there are two companions. It adds a lot to the dynamics of the thing. Doesn't hurt that Nardole was an adorable egg man. The Master is notably super sexist across all of his male iterations. Like, out right misogynist levels. So his reactions to himself as a woman are pretty much as expected.

HopperUK posted:I have got to watch more of his classic stories, I've not seen many at all. It's even present with Simm's Master. Just look at how he treats his 'wife'. The only reason I suspect Gomez Master doesn't have some self loathing issues is because the only person the Master doesn't hate is themselves.

Mameluke posted:The Master, despite her recent time as Missy, is a noted misogynist, isn't she? Beyond that I think you'd have to use new human villains (which would be a comparatively fresh angle for New Who) if you wanted to touch on it through that lens. Then again I'd hope commentary on 13's gender is limited to a quip in the premiere and encounters with recurring characters (like Captain Jack, say he hasn't died recently so his fixed point hasn't reset or blahblah). I feel like not-caring-at-all matches Doctor Who's brand of progressiveness. The Master's misogyny even comes through in regards to herself, especially early on. Referring to herself as Missy, calling herself a Time Lady, and early on talking about the Proper Way for Time Ladies to act. And you know, being God awful horrible to the Doctor's companions every time she could. It died down this last season, mostly because she was making a concerted effort to be 'Gud', but yeah. If any villain is going to start treating the Doctor different due to having lady parts, it's going to be the Master. Regardless of their gender.

learnincurve posted:All of the old who's lose something with being transferred to digital. The fact is that they were filmed to be shown on tiny old TVs. Most people have no idea how terrifying Sil was to a small child watching on a tiny lovely TV, there was no difference in clarity between him and something you saw every day like a newsreader simply because of the broadcast quality. It's also not been kind of stop motion animation effects what so ever, or a lot of practical effects from the last century+. A lot of things that looked seamless in SD have been torn asunder by the modern day. There's only so much future proofing one can do for media like this

Peter Harness is the most consistently awful writer in modern Doctor Who. I do not believe he has ever brought anything of quality or substance to any episode he has written.

Bicyclops posted:There wasn't a Dalek episode in season 6 either, just cameos in a few episodes. They definitely had more presence there. I don't even remember their cameo in this one. The Stone Dalek was basically The Villain, as much as there could be one, in the finale of 6. EDIT: never mind I just remembered that was season 5. Huh.

Facebook Aunt posted:Missy was really key to the whole thing. There was plenty of complaining about the Master suddenly turning female, and even some complaining in her earliest episodes that she was over acting and rubbish compared to Simm's Master. I was a little apprehensive myself that they would do the obvious thing and try to sexualize the relationship or something. Being entirely honest, she was a bit rubbish to begin with. And I still despise the name Missy. The Master is a gender neutral term. You don't go to college and get your Mistress. Season 8 Master I would have been just fine never seeing again. Thankfully they let Gomez rescue that from the trash heap with some of the only good things from season 9, and some of the best stuff of season 10. And hey She never became a cartoon skeleton

Bicyclops posted:To be fair, this is an intentional reference and callback. The line in Dalek is "You would make a good Dalek." The line in Into the Dalek, which takes place during Capaldi's "Who am in this incarnation?" regeneration crisis, is "You are a good Dalek," which is supposed to come off as more horrific. I don't think it lands, but it's supposed to build off the earlier episode. The big problem really is, with it, that it is pretty unearned and doesn't carry the same kind of weight and impact that the original did. But yeah it's super intentional and they built up to it. It just doesn't work as well.

From noted producer and writer of Doctor Who, Michele Gomez no less. Truly, the most reliable of sources. Though seriously it'd be weird if 13 wasn't into women at all. The Doctor's gender is fluid, that wouldn't do anything to their sexuality. The Master wanted to gently caress the Doctor when he had a dick and when she had a vagina.

Vinylshadow posted:That, and most things people consider "bad" about an episode fly right over my head because I spent the first 15 years of my life with my nose in books instead of glued to television and learning about culture Don't do this. Seriously man, even if that is true- and what the gently caress books were you reading and where WERE you if you weren't learning about culture during that period- don't do this. I imagine you have to have SOME idea about how this makes you sound and it's just going to make people be needlessly antagonistic with you as a result.

Wheat Loaf posted:Sure, William Hartnell wasn't a big fan of the show when he started but he turned out okay. Those Troughton, Pertwee and Baker fellas were also PRETTY questionable with how they did not know or care about the show but I guess that worked out well enough. Now that Colin Baker, HUGE fan, wonder how his television run went!

Being honest, the War Doctor is likely the oldest of them all. The Doctor being '2000' years old or whatever is total bullshit, and everyone knows it. He just started rounding down after the War Doctor. Picked some arbitrary number.

We can discuss the weird fandom obsession with Ace and wanting to gently caress her with their self inserts do not steal in OFFICIAL DOCTOR WHO MEDIA Because that's a part of the fandom I had no idea existed and do not understand. Just completely missed the boat on that. I am morbidly curious how mortified the actress is about it though considering it was part of Officially Licensed Novels.
