Catching up with the thread. It makes me so sad how defeated most of us are about this era.

I just want them to play 13's theme while she does something clever.

Flight Bisque posted:let's all watch that now. I came on board in the Moffat era. As much as that last series of Sherlock sucked on toast at the end, I still miss him. He made me feel like I was watching history even though I'd only ever seen Christmas Invasion until the 50th. Problematic, though? What can I say but yikes.

I came out of the closet and decided I wanted to transition Christmas Eve of 2017 in large part due to 12's regeneration into 13. It hurt SO BAD when one of her first acts was to be like, "your name? Doesn't matter, because I don't like you."

I loved Amy and can't disagree with one point there.

I started with Day of the Doctor. Had no idea John Hurt wasn't actually a Doctor from the 80s or something.

Y'know what we don't talk about enough, as fans? How Matt Smith stood toe-to-toe with Tom Baker and for just one brief moment among the rest of the moments they spent together, Matt Smith blew Tom Fucker Baker off the screen.

Jerusalem posted:"You're the criminal with the blue box!" being gasped by a time bureaucrat absolutely killed me And it's pretty heartening to hang out here as compared to the rest of the Dr. Who fandom because people seem to understand that Jodie isn't at fault for this material. When Game of Thrones still existed before we decided that it had never happened, you could set your watch to people treating the bad writing of the women on the show as the fault of the actresses.

Y'know what is awesome? There have been no bad doctors. Only bad showrunners. No franchise has a "no bad main characters" like this one. Literally none. Not a single one.

I maintain that having the aristocracy steal their specialness from somebody else in a mind-boggling violation of their autonomy, then lying about it was fertile ground for both social commentary and storytelling, but the way he did it was just yeeeeeesh.

Antifa Turkeesian posted:No Are You Being Served or Red Dwarf? That’s all I ever knew of British tv until college. It has a giant fanbase here. I never saw any Doctor Who, though, so I'm not sure how much of it we had access to.

I really can't stress enough that in most publications, article writers don't pick their headlines. Maybe they did here, maybe they didn't, but I wish more people knew this.

I don't know what the hell Capaldi was smoking with that one. Watching The Doctor bounce off themselves is always wonderful fun.

I was such a naïve little Whovian that I assumed we'd actually have The Doctor go hunting for Gallifrey after DotD. I also thought we'd get an episode where Twelve got the call to go participate in the special.

Well Manicured Man posted:I really think Series 5 was the most consistently good the revival has ever been, up until Series 10. Moffat was firing on all cylinders back then. Series 5 was Moffat's first album and it's actually pretty remarkable that series 6 was as good as it is and entirely unsurprising that series 7 was so absolutely uneven.

On that note, I'm actually thankful that they're bringing back somebody who's perfectly fine with the series being silly. Doctor Who doesn't need to be prestige drama. It's for children and that's okay.

The politics of Ker-blam are loving horrifying. Definitely right up there with "don't take your meds" from In the Forest of the Night, which was somehow seven loving years ago and I'm older than dirt.

jisforjosh posted:Why the hell did the Doctor just straight up kill the dude? Could've just had the delivery bots deliver to themselves and that's it. "Oh no, X!" Doctor does Thing in background that's confusing to viewer. This is a morally ambiguous situation! We have to do either Y or Z about X and both options are morally awful! Doctor continues doing Thing as companions weigh the options. Doctor makes a big discovery about Thing, bringing it to the attention to the companions, runs somewhere and does something clever, her theme music plays (!), and it turns out Thing was the key to a third choice about X that's a net good for everybody. Wrap up, credits, Next time on... And this happens very little in the Chibnall era, so between this, wasting Jodie Whittaker, and The Timeless Child, I've been a very sad Whovian of late.

Payndz posted:Casting a "who?" for Who gave us Tom Baker and Matt Smith, so they shouldn't be afraid to do it. But these are risk-averse times for the BBC, and RTD has a record of casting people he's worked with before, so I would have zero surprise if it was someone from Years And Years or It's A Sin. Edit: Y'know, after I posted this, I asked myself why I think this, and it's not based on anything real. Nevermind. LividLiquid fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Oct 11, 2021 |
