pgroce posted:I have no reason not to think Jodie Whittaker won't do an excellent job, but man I wish Capaldi could've done at least one more year. Big Finish is great and all, but we were finally done with all the bullshit and he was settled into the character and fabulous. Another season of Bill would have been wonderful too. The less they keep from Steven "Spoilers" Moffat the better. Fuckin hack writer idiots should go away forever

At the time I had some problems with Rusty Davis's writing, but it's grown on me over the years. I especially appreciate Eccleston's performance; its a shame he didn't really want to stick around because while Tennant is a good actor and did his material well, I don't think he really fit what the doctor had been as well as Eccleston. I guess it's always been the rule that each actor and era has a different take on things, so that's fine. Plus he got to hang out with the Best Companion, Donna Noble!

CommonShore posted:having just rewatched this season I disagree with this. Dalek is also very good. Yeah, Dalek is really good. In fact it's so good that Moffat stole a bunch of moments from it for a Capaldi episode. "You are a good Dalek," for example, is originally from the Eccleston one.

Burkion posted: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. It also has less payoff, I think, because there's not really much potential for character growth in a Moffat series. He seems to prefer shocking revelations to actual characters changing or developing based on things that happen during the show itself (for the most obvious example of this see anything related to River Song) What happens in Dalek has a very clear result on what happens later in the rest of the season, and on the season finale, and Eccleston seems genuinely upset about it and has to deal with that when he later has to chance to kill all the Daleks a second time. Plus, in the end, Eccleston is totally up for committing genocide a second time so it's silly to then say later oh well Peter Capaldi Doctor YOU are the angry one

2house2fly posted:One review of Planet Of The Dead pointed out something which redeemed it to me a little bit: it's basically a series opener, with Michelle Ryan as the companion, but at the end of the episode when he would normally invite her to travel with him, instead he turns her down and the series doesn't happen. It's like a season opener stretched out to feature length for no reason

Wheat Loaf posted:I feel like if RTD had written "The Doctor Falls", it would have started with Cyber-Bill advancing menacingly on the Doctor, only for him to flash the sonic screwdriver at her and instantly zap her out of the suit, all in one piece, then they leg it to the accompaniment of Blondie's "One Way or Another". it would be revealed that rose's mom is also rose, sent back in time by the power of the vortex

2house2fly posted:Moffat and RTD ended up finishing out their time on the show in similar ways, having a big blowout ending and then staying on an extra year to finish out their Doctors' runs. Davies went a bit lower-key for his actual finale than his intended one, while Moffat went the other way and raised the stakes, since the lower key is his key of choice anyway. the little black girl is martha, who will be sent back in time later so she can grow up and then marry mickey

matt smith and david tennant are fine actors but their doctors are too perfect and it's kind of annoying. matt smith in particular got saddled with a lot of ridiculous over the top things which he always handled perfectly and understood instantly because he was the Best Person In The Universe. Personally, I enjoy the older stuff where the doctor is really smart of course but still somewhat fallible and flawed. That's not at all the actors' fault, of course, and they did a good job with the material they were given. Really, I don't think any of the Doctor actors over the years have been bad; it's always just dependent on what scripts they're given.

Fair Bear Maiden posted:I'd argue that the Tenth Doctor was full of flaws, which made him an arguably more compelling character than he's given credit for, but the jury is out on whether the writers recognized those as flaws, and the narrative is pretty wishy-washy about it. he's maybe supposed to be arrogant and overconfident, possibly, but that all falls apart because he's literally always right. and sometimes he arbitrarily decides he doesn't like people... but then they always turn out to be bad people or evil somehow afterwards so he's always ultimately vindicated

Wheat Loaf posted:I think that's a problem Moffat and RTD both ran into from time to time. They'd set up these great cliffhangers then the resolution would be disappointing. When it happened with Moffat, it's the aforementioned habit of doing a time skip to after the Doctor and co. got out of jeopardy. When RTD ran afoul of it, it's the Doctor whipping out the sonic screwdriver and getting out of trouble that way (main example that occurs to me is "Rise of the Cybermen" into "Age of Steel"). rtd was bad at cliffhanger payoffs but moffat's cliffhangers are always set up over the entire season which makes them even less fulfilling, imo

marktheando posted:The idea of parents coming to terms with their kid being raised by an evil cult and brainwashed into an assassin because she becomes good as an adult is really really stupid. It's impossible to salvage it. plus amy and rory trying to get their baby back even though it'd be a paradox would imo be a better way to do that season's climax than river not wanting to kill doctor who. instead of the weird bullshit half-conclusion where river accepts she has to kill her husband but WHOA HES NOT DEAD FOOLED YOU, amy and rory could legit have to give up their daughter to save the universe. like the conclusion of Wedding of River Song isn't that it's wrong to change history but rather that they were just not as good at it as the Doctor
