I'm excited, too. Feels like it's been ages since we've had new Doctor Who! I've no idea if Jodie will be good but seeing as there's a new writer onboard she's got a better chance than most imo

Safeword posted:I only really know Walsh from The Chase, so seeing him act in a half decent way really caught me off guard. He was great as the gruff sad cop on Law and Order UK so it was weird to find out he's basically always been a game show/soap opera guy corn in the bible fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Oct 10, 2018 |

I think it's probably notable that Big Finish has done a Donna/10 box set, a Rose/10 box set, and now they're doing... another Donna set, because nobody cares about Martha no love 4 martha

The entire final episode is just people doing exposition at eachother until the exposition solves the problem. What a waste of an interesting concept!

Fil5000 posted:This is evil and you should both feel bad. I have only listened to like eight or nine big finishes ever so really any recommendations are good. I've basically heard, uh, the monthly range from storm warning to chimes of midnight and that's it. I like Charley and 8 together, they seem fun. That also does include Colditz, which was rad as hell.

I've been watching season 5 again and it's like, they clearly want the viewer to think Rory is a lame wet blanket but he's always right Amy sneaks into an evil vampire school and he's like, this will go wrong, and she does anyway and what a shock

I hope that, someday, they'll attain the same level of quality as Jon Pertwee era Dr Who.

jng2058 posted:I mean, she's kinda gotta say that, but really, the gloomy interior doesn't really suit her, at least as she's been acting so far. She's pretty much the upbeat happy Doctor thus far, this TARDIS fits more with the War Doctor or late era Seven, maaaaybe Eight or Lonely God Ten. Thirteen needs something a little more cheerful and brightly lit. I think that clearly she'll be tormented on the inside or something like that. Also making the set that way makes it very easy to do the "everyone looks at the tardis console" shot with moody lighting so that's the other reason

DoctorWhat posted:What Capaldi brought to the role is complicated, and I think a lot of people couldn't see it past his resting bitchface. Fundamentally, 12 is a busted-up dude, who in his first two seasons is deeply codependent and insecure - constantly trying to live up to his own standards and self-critical in extremis, especially compared to the cavalier attitudes of 10 and 11. We're constantly told This Is The Dark Doctor but he's no more dark than Chris Eccleston was. Just being old isn't enough to make him morally ambiguous, nor is a hamfisted monologue where victorian lizard woman talks about veils

I don't want episodes predicated on promoting future good stories though, that's how you ruin a show. Foreshadowing is not a substitute for good writing!
