I’m not 100% against Grant, but this line from that article gave me a hearty lol:quote:A TV insider said the showrunner is keen for 61-year-old Hugh to ‘bring a fresh feel’ to the role of the Doctor. Nothing says fresh like a 60 year old leading man

Rochallor posted:I've just finished a rewatch of the RTD stuff, and specifically what makes the Rose stuff kinda creepy (and solidly creepy once we get Tennant) is how lovely the Doctor is to Mickey, making him appear like a romantic rival. Mickey gets dumped on for no reason (except in retrospect) except seemingly for jealousy.  I don’t have a problem with Doctor-Companion romances in theory because a) it’s a modern TV show and romance or tension is a given and b) each Doctor is effectively a new mortal person and the show only treats them as a singular ancient immortal god when the plot demands it. Rose-Doctor sucked because of the above and because Rose-Ten was just an unbelievably obnoxious pairing that actively made both characters unlikable when they were together. River-Doctor started fine but became grating and annoying because of Moffat’s overuse of the character and the subsequent unnecessary exploration of her entire life that made less sense the more it went on.

Sometimes I forget that he was in two episodes already, and in those moments of forgetfulness I find peace.

Maybe this is me being weird, but unless I’m already familiar with them I always wait until a Doctor’s tenure is over to dig into whatever that actor has already done. Kinda helps sells the mystique and the personality more.

Jerusalem posted:"Another Scott, wahey!" There has to be a way to at least subtly integrate that into the actual theme  Speaking of, is Murray Gold returning?

If nothing else, I expect another round of RTD Who to at least be interesting and often fun. That’s more than I can say about Chibnall’s run.

Could be funny to see a special where the Doctor keeps “de/regenerating” into random incarnations as they’re trying to solve whatever crisis is happening.

I like that this sounds like something that could have conceivably been an actual theme for War on a show that aired in the late 90s. I’ve always been fond of the TV Movie theme and this really reminds me of it.

Met Christopher Eccleston today and he was such a nice dude. It’s genuinely heartwarming when a Doctor actually seems to be a genuinely decent person.

I’ve never even bothered watching Flux or the special that came before it (I think?). It really sucks, because Who has been pretty much a constant source of entertainment in one form or another since I first started watching in 2006, but I just can’t be bothered to drum up the attention and enthusiasm for it now. I like Jodie a lot and there’s occasionally been an interesting premise or idea from this era, but there’s just something so… bland about Chibnall’s entire run. I’m really hoping Jodie gets a Big Finish run or regular multi-Doc stories or something to finally show off her Doctor. It’s a genuine shame Chibnall wasted her on such boring plots.

Finally catching up on 13 and watching Flux for the first time. This third episode really is… a choice. I get what they’re going for and the plot seems relatively straight forward for DW but the constant jumping between time streams and characters is so disorienting that I genuinely can’t keep track of what’s going on. It’s just a headache-inducing montage of vaguely related scenes.

Kinda just skipped through the last episode of Flux because nothing in that entire season really grabbed me, but Eve of the Daleks was… good? Like really good!? Or at least entertaining. 13’s a lot of fun when they actually let her be a scatter-brained Doc Brown type.

Late, but I watched the finale. Random thoughts: - I know it’s just fanservice, but it loving worked for me without question; I grinned ear to ear every single time Syl and Davison showed up. Legit choked up when they had their moments with Tegan and Ace. - Speaking of Ace, holy poo poo Sophie Aldred must have been having an absolute ball filming this. I need the further adventures of Ace to happen, make her a recurring UNIT character or something. - I’m assuming the falling out Ace had with 7 is a Big Finish/novel thing? Unless I’m forgetting some part of Survival. - Janet Fielding was great too, I loved how instantly the old Tegan personality clicked in once the Doctor showed up. - I’ve never really warmed to his Doctor or even explored his run all that much, but I’m immensely happy for Colin Baker to have another chance to be on the show in such a high profile episode. He seems like the nicest guy. - 5,6, & 7 are sadly probably past the point of running down corridors in a real Multi-Doc special, but goddamnit give me a full episode of 8 and 14/15/? already. - Sacha Dwahan can play The Master for the rest of the entire show for all I care. He’s so drat good at being genuinely menacing and intense. - After blasting through all of Flux and these last few specials I’m genuinely going to miss 13. Even if the writing still wasn’t quite there, it felt like Whitaker had really settled into a nice groove for the character. I know there’s an unwritten tradition of recent Doctors keeping their distance from the show but I really hope she comes back in a substantial way for the 60th. - I’ve mellowed on Tennant over the years and it’s always fun seeing a former Doc revisit the role, but man just give me Ncuti Gatwa already. I don’t need an entire year of specials stalling for time.

Does anyone make a CyberMaster figure? Or even just a statue/figurine? I really love that design, stupid as it may be.
