I love the idea that in his extreme old age the Doctor not only decided to run around as Tom Baker again, but as a fatter, more insane version of Tom Baker

The one thing that has me slightly optimistic is that Chibnall will apparently be using a proper writer’s room.

Lick! The! Whisk! posted:Look I know I'm a huge loving nerdo, I'm not denying that. I'm just saying that I do like to take care of my general appearance, have been exercising regularly, and try to wear clothes that compliment my body type. I also perform good hygiene. The local Comic Con I go to is pretty bad on that front, but Star Wars Celebration was surprisingly... human? I only noticed one dude all weekend who absolutely reeked and that was in an overnight panel line. He also fell asleep spilling out of his lawn chair and snored so loud security had to wake him up.

Rhyno posted:GenCon is the smelliest con I have ever attended. I get flashbacks to the smells every time the con rolls around. There’s only one dedicated games store near me where I can buy X-Wing stuff and god help you if you ever go in on a Magic night. You can literally smell the players before you even enter. I imagine GenCon is that x100.

Well, this is interesting. A little more info. I'm not sure why this wouldn't just be a new DVD set since almost everything was shot on video. I guess it might be convenient for Region 1 folks since I'm fairly sure some of these are out of print.

Timby posted:Maybe because with 172 episodes at 25 minutes a pop, so at 72 hours of standard-def resolution, you could conceivably fit them all just a couple of discs? It’s only his first season, so 20 episodes/8.3 hours. This also seems like something that may sell well for one or two seasons, but I can’t imagine there’s a huge demand for his later years. As a collector it’s good and convenient, but I’m struggling to see where Warner/BBC think there’s money to be had doing this.

That logo is absolutely fantastic and I really hope they lean into some kind of 80’s high-science weirdness for the tone. I’m tired of fantasy/fairy tale.

I remember getting the first 9th Doc dvd in the mail from Netflix, binging it, and then having to wait an entire week for the next disc. I kind of miss the old mail service and the movie queue. It made it more of an event.

Rhyno posted:Bakula was talking about wanting to do a film as recently as last year. Quantum Leap is a property that to me always seemed ripe for continuation or reboot. It’s basically an american Doctor Who with a built-in fanbase and original leads that have always been open to returning. For a while it was consistently in the top 10 weekly Nielsens, right alongside Cheers, Cosby Show, and Roseanne. It’s also a quasi-anthology show and that’s a growing trend for genre stuff right now. Black Mirror and the 4 or 5 imitators floating around, American Horror Story, True Detective, the upcoming Jordan Peele Twilight Zone, etc.

Rhyno posted:I like the idea of his mid being the central figure. Maybe trying to bring him home at lomg last. I’ve thought about that too but his kid would be nearly as old as he is since she was born through time travel shenanigans and worked at the lab the same time he did. Maybe his granddaughter?

Rhyno posted:Honestly it doesn't even have to be a relative. Just someone in the far future finds the accelerator and decides to save Sam. Oh yeah, that’s definitely the obvious answer for a continuation. It allows the new show to be its own thing and still bring back Bakula/Stockwell for guest spots if they want

Bicyclops posted:I tried to watch this once, but for some reason, Netflix has every episode but the pilot, and I was immediately very confused. I'm sure it's something you can just pick up from wherever, but I tend to watch things linearly, in order. I don’t see it on Netflix US anymore, but Hulu has the whole series and it looks like it’s in the correct order.

The other thing with a Quantum Leap reboot is the lead really should be a woman of color. I love Bakula and QL almost always handled episodes where Sam leapt into a woman or POC fairly well for the time, but there’s no way that would fly in 2018. And that’s before you even get into the inadvertent “white savior” aspect of the original show.

The really disappointing part of all this is how the general fan base (outside this forum, obviously) has taken all this as Eccleston attacking the show and how he’s just some diva actor whining. Check the comments on any article or twitter thread about this. We are literally never going to get Eccleston to come back for anything at this rate

The_Doctor posted:So I've just found out that the 1966 Japanese film King Kong Returns features a villain called Dr Who, who happens to look like this. Hmmmm. I watched this a few months ago and it’s all I could think about. As an aside, I highly recommend both King King vs Godzilla and King Kong Returns because they are astoundingly bonkers and I love them. Returns especially, the Kong suit just looks so bad and it makes every scene an absolute joy.

Wheat Loaf posted:I didn't dislike it - it was an amusing diversion for an hour on Christmas Day but I haven't once gone back to revisit it since. Husbands felt like an extremely indulgent Moffat script that kept presenting moments where it would plead “Look how funny/clever/sweet this is! Don’t you love it?” and a shrug was the only response I could offer in return.

To hell with favorites, what’s your least favorite TARDIS interior? I hate the latter Smith/Capaldi console room. It felt cheap and claustrophobic, especially after the spacious room that debuted with Smith. 9/10’s Coral theme has probably aged the worst out of all of them, even though I liked it at the time. Now it just looks like a Farscape set.

Rirse posted:Okay how is the new season of Doctor Who up for pre-order when it not even started airing yet? Are we in a Space Balls situation? It’s become increasingly common for Amazon and iTunes to put up season pass pre-orders for shows that haven’t actually premiered yet. They know it’ll air eventually, so why not offer a subscription and scoop up that cash now? They do the same thing with digital movie pre-orders for movies that haven’t announced a home release date yet.

There's a local theater that plays strange and frequently obscure horror movies every friday, and my buddies and I like to go because our tastes generally line up with the tastes of the guy who programs them (except for The Baby  ) I usually go in completely blind, so imagine my surprise this week when this guy yee-haws his way into the movie  Lair of the White Worm is amazing and Capaldi is the best part. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujjIVoAN2Yc&t=35s

This is a shot in the dark, but I’m trying to make some shelf space by condensing my Classic DW dvds into season sets and I was wondering if there was a repository of hi-res promo shots and screens somewhere? I’m trying to make covers for the new cases that keep the style of the UK dvd cases, but there doesn’t seem to be a good source for promo material other than random googling.

It’s been a long time since I’ve watched Classic Who and I have a huge backlog thanks to a couple London trips. Popped in The Two Doctors, and uh... C. Baker is not great. He’s honestly killing any enthusiasm I had to watch this, even with Troughton, Jamie, and the Spanish location shooting. I know you’re all about to tell me how good he is in BF, but man his tv run is rough.
