The_Doctor posted:I really like Last Christmas, and thought that was the thread consensus? Ah, I misread your post as "You would still have last Christmas?" as in "Do you really want to save that one?" Hang on, let's consult the chart for what our hostile hivemind will say to newcomers when they watch it for the first time. Is this one of the shibboleth episodes?

Rhyno posted:Watching this show in a group might incite a riot. Eegh. I have some friends who are planning a double feature "watch something actually horribly bad/something enjoyably bad" and riff on it together for the summer months, but there's stuff that's riffable and there's stuff that makes everybody just want to murder someone. I think Doctor Who covers the whole spectrum

CommonShore posted:I enjoy this scene but I'm completely baffled by it from a narrative standpoint. I think you're kind of supposed to be. The Fourth Doctor basically shows up and says "Oh, by the way, I'm still here, after all this time...or maybe I'm not? It's terribly tiring, this whole Schrodinger's Doctor business.  Anyway, so nice to meet you, or meet me, or not to exist at all. Jellybaby?"

I really thought the Leela yo-yo scene from Robots of Death was the one where the Doctor explained how the TARDIS was bigger-on-the-inside with a tautology, but I'm wrong (although it is a great scene). Does anyone remember what I mean? I think it might be in The Talons of Weng-Chiang? I swear it's the Fourth Doctor, but maybe I'm wrong. It'd be totally up Two's alley, maybe Six's.

DoctorWhat posted:i have been watching a LOT of frasier lately I started a rewatch in memory of John Mahoney. It's weird to watch the first season, where David Hyde Pierce is so nervous, Jane Leeves was obviously told to play up her accent, and you can actually see the hangover on Kelsey Grammer.

remusclaw posted:Was RTD unable to budget correctly as well or was there some creative reason for why we only got 4 eps that one year? Davies wanted a gap year to allow the new production team some time and had already informed the BBC he wouldn't produce a fifth season, which also gave Tennant some time to do Shakespeare.

Doctor Zero posted:I remember Ghost Light to be an incomprehensible mess that seemed like it was trying to cash in on the Rocky Horror craze but I haven’t watched it in years so maybe I’m misremembering. It's definitely an incomprehensible mess, but if you can start to get it, there's a good story going on underneath all the confusion.

I'm finally listening to some Big Finish this weekend. Apparently I was on The Demons of Red Lodge and Other Stories. It's okay so far, although it feels a bit too fast-paced for what they were going for. Good to get back to it all, though.

Well, the first story in the Second Doctor Boxset sure is... something.  Dick Sharples must have had a chronic case of horniness while writing it, and Guerrier, unfortunately, caught it somehow before adapting it. I'm amazed that Wendy Padbury could get through half of the descriptions of skin-tight outfits without laughing out loud.

I'm just kidding, Toxx. I can't even go to the novel-writing convention I used to go to anymore, because the number of pompous-voiced people who'd take up the literary agents' time during panels by asking extremely specific, long-winded questions about their obviously autobiographical first draft that they were pitching made me embarrassed to be alive. I can't imagine what a Doctor Who convention would be like. I'd still go if there were one in Boston and I had the day off, though.

*rushing in, out of breath from my probation* Oh, my sainted aunt, that library shelf! The DVDs you want to select are- Oh. Oh, I see... it's over. Well, you made some excellent choices! Very excellent choices. I'm going to go sit in the corner and think about my choices to argue with a certain kind of person. I'm sure my recommendations wouldn't have been that important anyway. I wasn't eagerly awaiting the library screenshot or anything, haha.

Jerusalem posted:The jump in visual quality from RTD to Moffat (helped by the shift to HD plus Moffat blowing the entire loving budget) was pretty big, but so far everything done under Chibnal's watch has had an amazing stylized feel that I am absolutely loving. Yeah, it's sort of got an art deco thing going on for it. It feels really optimistic, which is fitting for the show.

That's insane. I had no idea any of that was a thing. Writing conferences, the only premium items are lunch with agents and editors, or individual pitch sessions with agents and editors in which they read a portion of your manuscript and give feedback. Sometimes the bar is a cash bar.

I've only ever seen that posted in this thread, but it does get mentioned here, and he doesn't seem to have worked for Big Finish (in a writing capacity) since then. He looks like he's some kind of tech guru, so he may have been someone helping them with the sound engineering who walked in with a script one day.

Yeah, Minuet isn't good by any stretch of the imagination, but it's kind of like watching Wile E. Coyote in a Roadrunner cartoon. It tries so hard to accomplish something ludicrous, for reasons nobody understands, and falls flat on its face, repeatedly, in bizarrely elaborate ways, until you're somehow both laughing at it and rooting for it. Minuet vs. Creed is like Manos: Hands of Fate with something more overtly disgusting like Sidehackers.

I wish: A) Elizabeth Sladen had lived a lot longer so that the show could have kept running for awhile or, failing that: B) that they could have found a way to pass the show over to Katy Manning that wouldn't have been disrespectful, and it could have continued to be "Doctor Who, but for babies" for awhile.

docbeard posted:If it's from Moffat, there wouldn't be a note. Instead, when opening the truck, it would be empty but a recording of a creepy childrens' choir would play: Don't take out your credit card. Don't log into your bank, don't even reach for your wallet. If you value your life, don't even look for that gift card your mother left in your Christmas stocking. They can sense it when a product nears a cash register. They feel an item going into an online cart like you or I can feel the wind on our faces on a warm day. And the second money exchanges hands, the instant you've made your purchase, you've bought them too. You've bought all of them. And you'll live to have buyer's remorse... for eternity.
