I got a package from Big Mean Jerk, proving his name isn�t true! Fury from the Deep! Who-themed face masks! A cool board game I haven�t played! And an amazing custom set of 3D printed figures*! The work you put into this is fantastic and you�re a wonderful person. Many many thanks, BMJ! :dance:

So the Doctor just sat in prison for 7 thousand years without doing anything about it? :psyduck:

There's a decent chance that Chibnall did it on purpos. I'm not, to be clear, accusing him of anything--I simply don't know. But he is from TERF Island and in the orbit of people like Gareth Roberts.

Hey now, don�t tar the whole of the UK with that brush. :mad:

I could definitely have done without Force ghost Grace at the end. That was a really weird moment.

I�ve noticed one of Chibnall�s things is a quiet conversation scene where two people just talk about Things. They�re often music free, go on for slightly too long, and nothing else happens in that moment. The Doctor and Ryan had one in Revolution about her leaving them for 10 months (and however long it was from her perspective - Jack was in there for 19 years just trying to get to her, and she�d clearly been there muuuuuch longer). But every time they do one, they stop the episode�s flow dead.

They're filming now, but then again this latest episode was filmed in October 2019.

I�m a little miffed that they�re instantly replacing two companions, one of whom was an older white male, with another older white male. Gotta make sure we tick that demographic.

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

He�s got a show called It�s a Sin about to start in the UK.

Rumours are coming out that Jodie�s resigned/stepping down as the Doctor. I mean, the current one filming would be her 3rd, and if the pattern stays true...

I am the only person in this thread who thinks Rosa is a good episode.

My boyfriend and I were just discussing Rosa the other day. He�s black, so I defer to his opinion. We agreed that the writing felt incredibly brittle, like it was well aware the subject matter was murky waters, especially for Doctor Who, but the writers were absolutely walking on eggshells the entire time in order to not cause any offence. As such, the story itself has zero life. There�s no drama, no stakes, plus the subject matter forces the Doctor into taking a very secondary role so was not to remove agency from the protesters and Rosa Parks.

Anyone else feel like John Bishop has been added to next season to temper the optics of having just 13 and Yaz together?

If Chibnall had any sense of fun (he clearly doesn't), he'd invite RTD and Moffat back to write eps.

Make Bryan Fuller the new showrunner and cast Gillian Anderson as the Doctor. Sure they'll only make 6 episodes and it'll cost 450 million pounds, but holy gently caress what a season it'll be

And Fuller would then depart the series after the first 3 episodes anyway.

With potentially only 8 Jodie episodes to go, and covid stopping US-UK air travel, it probably won�t be next season.

Ten was separated from Martha for like 100 years in that badly animated serial nobody wants to acknowledge anymore.

Did I miss where they explain why Earth has once again forgotten the Daleks?

I love that special mini-episode where Amy wakes up in the middle of the night and wanders into the control room, and the Doctor comes barreling through the door in a tuxedo. Amy's,"....Doctor.... do you... do you go and have adventures while we're asleep....?" is so great

Annoyingly those 'Night and the Doctor' ones seem to have fallen off Youtube.

It's a shame they don't do minisodes as often anymore

Give me Thirteen and Yaz sharing a biscuit, or Graham getting the "here's everyone the Doctor's traveled with" treatment like Amy and Clara did

"Gandalf, I am space Gandalf, the little green one from Star Wars."

It's probably never occurred to Chibnall to do them. He really doesn't seem to have any sense of fun.
