Lampsacus posted:Rewatching The Power of Three in preparation for the Ch.era. Its the debut of Kate Stewart ^-^! Also, "science leads" reference which is echoed in the 50th. I heard on the Radio Free Skaro latest episode that this episode isn't so good because of the end? i'm half way through and its pretty cool so far. a very relaxed chill vibe. There is space and little moments. Which will be cool to see. I always felt the 12th Doc was rather neurotic (especially in the beginning). It'll be cool to see the 13th's atmosphere as more open. There is also this neat scene in power of three where the doctor muses to Amy about how quickly life goes by and how he appreciates every moment of it :3 "I am running to you and Rory before you fade from me."

How many of the names at the end were recognisable to a UK native audience? Not being from the UK (and not watching much British TV these days) I couldn't really tell.

I don't mind when it's a scanner. Curious to see how to this incarnation's love of gadgets plays out though. It's when you get stupid poo poo like Rings of Akhaten where there's a whole bit about opening a door by sonicing really. hard. that it bugs me

Spikeguy posted:One question I have and it comes up all the time - how do humans not know about aliens? Did they not deal with a planet wide issue on a weekly basis during 10s run? 11's first season kinda sorta retconned a lot of them out of existence. Please ignore any subsequent massive alien invasions.

Justin_Brett posted:The only thing I thought was weird was the Doctor getting mad at the crane guy for attacking the alien who tried to murder him. Or was that just a 'the Doctor is neurotic' moment? It was weird that it was mentioned and then dropped so quickly. It was like he stole a chip from someone else's plate, not that he pushed a dude off a crane.

I know Tom's presence in the 50th was leaked (by Tom) but were there any spoilers about McGann's appearance? Or John Hurt's earlier?

After The War posted:I think a lot of it comes down to Revival Who's tendency to go with ridiculous time frames. There's no reason to have Crisco come from the 79th century - he isn't characterized any differently than someone from today, and he's able to blend into Earth, 1955 just fine. How much do you know about life in 3800 BC? That's the time frame they used, and it doesn't make sense. They could have gone with someone from 100-500 years out and still used the Neural Inhibitor and even time travel if they wanted. If they didn't want to give humans time travel that early, he could have bought the equipment or done the TNG "mugged a time traveler" thing. I thought the 79th century was just where his device was set to, and that he was actually from the 51st/52nd Century since that's where we know the Stormcage is and where vortex manipulators are from. Not that that improves things much.

Cleretic posted:Okay, that's all a pretty fair judgement on the period stuff. The cost of period clothing/set dressing sneaks up on you. Except when you can re-use old stuff. It's why a lot of Star Trek TOS was done the way it was, and part of the reason the costumes in The Ribos Operation look so good is that they were from a production of Anna Karenina. Even in the modern series you still get things like reusing the sets built for Rome for the Pompeii episode.

Astroman posted:Also the regenerated Rassilon was kinda weak. I didn't realise he was meant to be Rassilon until they literally said his name. The Doctor searching for Gallifrey was a wonderful direction to take the show after the anniversary special and I'm still annoyed about how Moffat pissed that away.

I really like the idea of the scrapheap Dalek but the middle section seemed a bit skinny and cylindrical given how wide the base was. It looked fine from the front but a bit weird from some other angles.
