Fog Tripper posted:Capaldi is done? Thank goodness. Now I can begin watching this again. His last episode will be the Christmas Special this year, from next year the showrunner will be Chris Chibnal and a new actor who is yet to be named as the Doctor. So if you haven't enjoyed the show recently, it'll be a good jumping on point for a completely fresh start.

Yeah I still really like Series 8, though the first half of Deep Breath really is pretty awful. Series 9 was the problem season for Capaldi in my opinion. It seemed they were going for something all through the season and then they just kind of.... weren't (and that's not even taking into account the deliberate false leads of the Hybrid bullshit). It does have Heaven Sent though which is just a fantastic episode.

Oh and just as a follow-up from the last thread, everybody was right and Big Finish were quick to fix MY gently caress-up on that volume of First Doctor stories without issue. Big Finish are great.

CommonShore posted:Ok here's one continuity error/question in Day of the Doctor- 12 takes part in 11's scheme, presumably without showing up and telling 11 he was doing so. So 11 remembers gathering all the other Doctors and trying to save Gallifrey, but has no knowledge that there's an extra TARDIS in there too. 12 remembers that he popped in to throw in some help just to make absolutely sure it worked, having gotten another few hundred years to perfect the calculations. Of course the real answer is that it was a complicated delivery system for that amazing,"No sir.... all THIRTEEN!" line

I still love the immediate tonal shift when 10 regenerates into 11. It marks the passing of the torch in so many ways. Tennant to Smith, RTD to Moffat, 10's melancholy to 11's exuberance etc. The way the Doctor shifts from "I don't want to go!" to just being super-excited to have arrived always gets me so pumped up and wanting to rewatch all of season 5 again

Q_res posted:Actually, just have McGann as 8. Imagine a Two Doctors season story arc where 8 pops up in 4-6 episodes plus the finale. I was always only half joking when I'd say that the schedule gaps in the revival should be filled with a 6 episode run of 8th Doctor Adventures

Cleretic posted:I don't think this is likely, but if I try to think out what sort of Doctor reveal they could have that warrants this level of secrecy while also being totally worth it, this is a pretty big one. Idris Elba will be the new Doctor. Also Peter Capaldi is staying on ALSO playing the Doctor. Both of the Doctors are going to be very confused but just muddle their way through the situation as best they can.

From memory Moffat did say the plan was to handle the regeneration in exactly the same way RTD handled his handover. RTD and his crew filmed David Tennant's final scene, then they all filed out and Moffat and his crew came in with Matt Smith to film his part. I think there was a bit on Confidential about it which included Tennant seeing Matt Smith walking onto set wearing Tennant's wardrobe and commenting on how strange it felt to see another actor not only occupying the role but literally wearing his clothes too.

It'll be half an hour, but in the last 10 seconds when they go for the reveal it'll just be a bloodied body laying at Peter Capaldi's feet, and he turns to camera and says,"Hello. My name is Peter Capaldi, and I am STILL the Doctor!"

God I love Invasion. The way Packer () just completely falls apart by the end as the Doctor and his companions destroy his life... Fair Bear Maiden posted:There's no precise timeframe because it's after Wimbledon, and, y'know, tennis matches tend to last a variable amount of time. But the match will start at 2pm UK time, IIRC. Goddammit Cilic, give up and end this so we can get to the Doctor. Also so Federer can enjoy more unexpected glory at this stage in his career too I guess.... TinTower posted:Not content with pretending to be a disabled man and pretending to be a woman, now he's pretending to be a time traveller. Not that it would be him anyway, but why would they cast a Matt Smith impersonator when there's a perfectly good Matt Smith right there with his contract on The Crown just about up?

I'm not sure who the hero of this tennis game is. Federer for trying to get us to the announcement faster, or Cilic for trying to keep Peter Capaldi as the Doctor as long as possible.CobiWann posted:until I got my hands on Dragonlance. I read the second trilogy of Dragonlance books first, loved them, went back and read the first trilogy, loved that and rushed to read everything Dragonlance I could get my hand on.... that was my big mistake....  Similar with the Belgariad, the Shannara books (mother of God) and of course Feist's Magician universe (though I still say the original Empire trilogy ruled). They just keep coming back to the well.

Man I am going to miss Capaldi a whole lot, but this is really cool. navyjack, check out Broadchurch - not only is she a giant part of the season (and really loving good) but it's also a look at Chibnall getting to run his very own show instead of aping somebody else's style in a script, and it's far better than I would have ever expected it to be.
