No idea.

I have to be honest, i have extremely low expectations for the special.

Not a bad mindset to have - that way you're not disappointed if it's mediocre, and if it's good, you can be pleasantly surprised

Time to start naming them after the audios and novels!

I enjoyed it well enough

Only major gripe was letting Trump live

Felt rather rushed at the start though

Harry Potter's fine with its Roald Dahl escapism fantasy

drat shame about the author though - hoo boy...

Chibbers does all these grand things that - like a house of cards - falls apart if you stop and think about them for more than a minute

Thirty seconds if you're operating in that weird mental clarity brought on by sleep deprivation

I don't think the Doctor would spend more than a few hours moping about something - especially not in prison, made all the more glaring that five minutes back with the fam she goes "I'm the Doctor regardless of what's been done to me."

Sometimes the TARDIS magically takes off the instant the doors close, other times the Doctor actually has to walk to the console to put in the time and date and throw the lever

Sometimes we see it instantly materialize after it takes off, other times we see it zooming through the time vortex and we get some introspection and exposition

Consistency, in my Doctor Who? pff

I'll miss Walsh, but he did tend to overshadow everyone else, so it may be a blessing in disguise?

The scene with them at the house-TARDIS was the setup, since Ryan was reluctant there too, and it was obvious he'd moved on with his life

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

I think he's there so they don't have to write anything for Yaz

At least 13 is nice to her and it's not a 1:1 retread of 10 and Martha

They also have the title sequence as the background animation for the mind analysis device* which implies that, well, I have no idea what it implies.

*No! Not the mind analysis device!

The title sequence is the Doctor having his mind probed* and then we see the stories it's looking at - perhaps it's him as the Curator jotting down his memoirs

*What. No. Not the mind probe.

The Master with the Cyberiad, standing in the ruins of Gallifrey with an army of hybrid Time Lords

Well, I guess that solves Series 9's little puzzle quite nicely, doesn't it?

Doctor Who is 1.5 million per episode

Mandalorian is 15 million per episode

:stonklol:

God, imagine Doctor Who with that amount of time and budget.. :allears:

Right, time to reduce the budget back down to 2000 per episode, or less

Remember David introducing the 50th special? That's all you get

The head seen in Dalek is the "Revenge of" design isn't it?



Turns out Revenge was a multi-Doctor story - Nine was just always slightly to the left of the camera the entire time

Nine is 800 at the start of Rose, 900 after he comes back and says "Did I mention it travels in time?" and Ten mentions he's 904 in the 50th, so...

Impossible Astronaut posted:

"Since when do you drink wine?"
"I'm 1103."
"You were 908 last time I saw you."

I mean, yes, he's been vague about his age, but during the Moffat Era, they at least tried to be a little consistent with it, or he could be saying that so it doesn't sound like he's ditching them for centuries at a time...


Or maybe it really doesn't matter and they'll write Nine adventuring as he pleases at any point in time because hahaha continuity in Doctor Who hahaha

Doctor: I do not sneak out at night to parties with River Song!
Amy: How is she?
Doctor: Fine.

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

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

He wrote Pond Life though
