The first and only good “Doctor goes to Gallifrey” episode, plus I’m not super-keen on Tom Baker’s last season. Right between Sarah Jane and Leela is a pretty great time in comparison. Counterpoint: TDA is the reason that the rot set in with the Time Lords

I caught some of the McCoy run, had a few videos (including the Seeds of Death and Day of the Daleks), and then got into the programme properly in 1992 when they had a run of stories on BBC2.

Astroman posted:She was significant in that she was a genetic clone of the main character, with Gallifreyan DNA (at the time when the entire species but one was extinct). She was only the second person related to him we ever saw onscreen in 50 years. And she was shown at then end excitedly going off on new adventures in a way that practically screamed "I HAVE AN EXCITING STORY COMING UP AND YOU'LL WANT TO SEE MORE OF ME!" Moffat suggested to RTD that she didn't die because he thought her dying would be too cliche. The actress wasn't that significant either (can you remember, without checking, what the names of the characters that David Troughton played were? And which episodes they were in? How about Michael Troughton?)

Maelstache posted:Fairly significant when you remember she was Peter Davison's daughter, who then went and married David Tennant, thereby creating a bewildering temporal anomaly where the Tenth Doctor is now the Fifth's son-in-law and the father of his grandchild. Tenant and Moffett met filming The Doctor's Daughter, so when the casting happened only one of those was true :p

Jenny's marginally better for a spinoff because the character was merely bland rather than being actively bad. I'm not sure what sales figures has to do with any of that, though. Do I not get an opinion if an audio play sells sufficiently well?

You don't think this might be because you only hear about what Eccleston thinks of a project when it's negative? "That job was ok" is in no way newsworthy

Trin Tragula posted:When Doctor Who fandom was still small enough to have received wisdom, the received wisdom was that absolutely everything from the Trial onwards was embarrassing garbage and attempting to swim against that tide was the second-most surefire way to start a passionate and obnoxious flame war. Kids these days, never heard anyone call him "Sillybugger McCoy" and think they were being clever, you don't know you're born. Don't forget how this attitude interacted with the New Adventures

Adric's main problem is that the writers didn't really know what to do with him, especially early on when he was inserted into scripts after they were written, which meant that he joins the villains annoyingly often. His other problem is that some (looking at you, Terence Dudley) confuse "precocious genius" with "massive sexist".

Astroman posted:Anybody check in with Mad Larry lately? Lawrence Miles is a left wing pro diversity type; a large part of the reason people know about him is because his main reaction to the second episode of the revival was "Hey this is a bit anti-immigrant and racist, isn't it?" which everyone thought was weird in the world of 2005 but in retrospect we should have listened to him. Thinking he'd hate the new programme because it has a lady and black people involved is pretty odd
