I've hit new-Who in my rewatch. The olympics ending of Fear Her is still amazingly terrible.

Oh hey, I've just reached Human Nature/Family of Blood in my rewatch. That three episode stretch including Utopia is so loving good. It's just a shame it was followed up by some of the worst most stupid poo poo ever seen in this programme. John Simms' Master has grown on me over the years, and there are scenes in Sound of Drums/Last of the Timelords I love, but the Doctor turning into a goblin until everyone prays to him is still incredibly stupid and bad. What the gently caress were you thinking RTD?

Mooseontheloose posted:They could of done so much better by Martha in that finale. Yeah, also throughout the rest of series 3. Open Source Idiom posted:Yeah you got me with logic and good taste. I do really strongly dislike a lot of the stuff Moffat has put out, some of this show's lowest moments, however I also love a lot of the stuff Moffat has put out, some of this show's greatest moments. He's a land of contrasts. His Dracula thing sounds like complete dogshit though and I can't stand Sherlock, but overall I'm positive on his Who run I guess.

Can't believe I forgot about Blink when talking about how good the run of episodes from Human Nature to Utopia is. Series 3 in general is really strong except for Shakespeare Code, the Daleks two parter, and all the terrible bits of Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords.

That was enjoyable enough in the moment, nothing outrageously terrible, but yeah the plot was a total mess, and American business man is not an interesting enough character to justify bringing him back. Was fun to see Jack again though, and the Prime Minister getting exterminated by Daleks in front of 10 Downing Street was cool and good. Agreed that the Doctor killing a TARDIS felt wrong.

Sydney Bottocks posted:Didn't bother to watch, did the new episode bother to wrap up the "Timeless Child" nonsense, or is that still going to be Chibnall's thing until he finally leaves? It did not. It was suggested that the Doctor will be investigating that stuff next.

Bring back RTD, I haven't heard about him doing things recently so I assume he's available.

It's been a thing for a long while now, not a rule, but most Doctors have only done 3 years. Patrick Troughton famously advised Peter Davison that 3 years was optimal.

I've got to Let's Kill Hitler in the re-watch. I hate everything to do with Mels.

It would be pretty great if they did give Doctor Who 15 million an episode like Mandalorean though.

Mooseontheloose posted:Kinda like that Quantum Leap episode where lighting strikes and Al and Sam switch places, only not evil. Reported in the Mirror, but not officially confirmed by the beeb yet.

The restaurant scene is worth putting up with all the less good stuff in the Two Doctors. I'm watching The Angels Take Manhattan right now and I wasn't paying enough attention, I've forgotten how the Angels work now. Why does Moffat have to change how they work every time they appear?

Open Source Idiom posted:Watch it be a super bitchy "what could have been" novelisation of Nightmare In Silver. I know it was originally supposed to be Victorian children with Victorian Clara, is it known what else was changed? I re-watched it the other day and the only stuff I really enjoyed was the emperor, and that's really just Warwick Davis being likeable.
