Fil5000 posted:On the other hand, Craig has managed to avoid having a comedy American sherrif in any of his films so far. Nor has he dressed as a clown to defeat the plans of Steven Berkoff, gone into space or had sex with Grace Jones, so it's a very mixed bag. agreed the Craig films are on the whole worse than Moore's

a bit late to be responding to the finale, but there's something that really bugged me. Bill would rather die than "live" as a cyberman. existence as a reanimated corpse trapped inside a metal suit is worse than death. one of the better points of the episode, and shows they had a grasp of the cyberman concept. not like certain 80s episodes that were just moon boots and 'excellent's contrast this to two years ago when "the brigadier will live on as a cyberman" was considered a loving tribute to the character and Nicholas Courtney instead of just crass and stupid. ugh

Box of Bunnies posted:Well I mean the idea is that the Claras are "fixing" things after the Great Intelligence has screwed around in the Doctor's timeline so basically that stuff is true and how it really happened in the Doctor's life, but then the GI did something to change it and Time Lord Clara had to just kind of nudge him back in the right direction. and somehow it's even more awful on screen than written down like that

Hemingway To Go! posted:speeking of weeping angels, one thing I'm surprised Moffet did not do, along with being the one to address the Valeyard thing as long as he was playing with regenerations, was make a "genesis of the angels" episode before someone else did. maybe he couldn't think of an origin story that would contradict their other appearances enough

This loving deadline! gently caress it.... she marries.... Mickey why not? Yeah that'll do. It's because they're Smith & Jones. Whether that's a good reason is up for debate

learnincurve posted:I know but people have been banging on and on and on about racism That's a fairly unremarkable part of Mickey's backstory though. He's from 21st century London, not Victorian times. But anyway, Bambera was the first black companion

the only problem I ever had was them making the first black companion's father a cheat who left his family for another woman, which did display a staggering lack of awareness of racial stereotypes by everyone involved.

learnincurve posted:I was unaware that they did it with Mickey's dad as well Mickey was raised by his grandparents. Having accidentally killing his Gran by not fixing the loose carpet was why he worried so much about stuff. But now I realise we were talking about different characters, I can't actually remember if Mickey's dad left for another woman or if they weren't that specific. Time to rewatch s1&2 the best seasons  For what it's worth Rose was raised in a single parent household, for exactly the one of the reasons you mention. Quite the tapestry RTD gave us.

Lack of Chinese characters probably driven by the UK demographics - only about 1% Chinese & other East Asian combined.

SiKboy posted:If they want to fit another master or two in before Missy then that could have been her just loving with the Master. I mean, I dont think that would be a good idea, but they could do it if they wanted. yeah it'd be nice if the writers could hold themselves to higher standard than trash 90s superhero comics

Wheat Loaf posted:Either Big Finish or BBC Books retconned in that there were several Guardians alongside the Black and White Guardian (as portrayed by Valentine Dyall and Cyril Luckham) and that the Celestial Toymaker was the Crystal Guardian, though I don't remember which. This kind of poo poo is why it's better not to insist on repeating every character from the past shows. Just leave them be and write new stuff

Cleretic posted:Tennant's kind of reaching a typecasting problem, I think. He's probably got a decent range, but if he's cast for something you know it's for a fairly narrow section of that range. And he's good at what he's being cast as, but it means you've got a pretty clear idea what you're getting right away. you can't watch his Hamlet and say he's got no range. but if you've only seen him in trash sci-fi like Dr Who or Jessica Jones I can see why someone might get that idea.
