DoctorWhat posted:This is a weird accusation because I've read The Writer's Tale and I know for a fact that actually, yes, DAVIES' original script for Unicorn and the Wasp DID have a """joke"" where Donna was going to say "Ten Little- " and the Doctor would interrupt her with the phrase "niggles aside". christ almighty

 Oh my god, I had no idea. That… really isn’t a good track record for RTD companions.

Lord Ludikrous posted:
Emperor’s Guard, all the way. Such a cool colour scheme. On another note, I was reading somewhere that before the announcement that RTD was coming back and while the Power of the Doctor was being written, the future of the show was in serious doubt - like, 1987-style hiatus doubt. This is why the episode has so many call-backs and stuff. Can anyone confirm?

The_Doctor posted:100% this. Just for example, Power of the Doctor started in media res and then never bothered to fill in what happened before. It’s a constant state of ‘well, why is that happening?’ And then the next question is inevitably ‘why on earth did that NEED to happen?’

OldMemes posted:The Big Finish stuff benefited from not only having McGann there to perform and shape the character, but having clearly structured arcs and stories. I mean, there's missteps like C'Rizz, as well as all the goddamn amnesia stuff in the early Eight audios, there was a lot of that

The art style is just so goddamn ugly. Big Mean Jerk posted:This isn’t the first time DW has spawned a cheap mobile game. I vaguely recall playing some color-match thing where you collected Doctors and Companions around the time of Smith’s second or third season. Even this game you mention, which I played for a while, had better art and a bit of a story going.

Open Source Idiom posted:Perhaps, but a lot of that's been overstated by reactionary fans who were freaked out by the idea that ~*sex*~ might be happening in their precious Doccy Whos. The NAs are fairly lefty and progressive tbh. Certainly for the time, perhaps for now. There's an awkward story where someone -- not the someone people are probably thinking of -- just wholesale makes up First People culture for the sake of a story, but that's the only one that jumps to mind. Can you explain why Black and White is bad? I don’t think I’ve caught up that far but I dimly remember it on my list. Actually when I first read it I thought you meant Flip-Flop, which is also loving heinous.

SecretOfSteel posted:While we're thinking things through, I've always been a bit worried about Capaldi's first episode Deep Breath where it implies he maybe mugs that old distressed guy... what was that about 😞 Deep Breath was absolute pure garbage until the restaurant scene. The restaurant scene was amazing. Everything after was pretty good too. Dunno how Moffat fumbled that opening so badly.

Just saw Michelle Gomez on an episode of Law and Order SVU as a villain. My god that woman can act. I wish there was some way of her reprising Missy on screen again, I haven’t got up to her Big Finishes.

Jerusalem posted:I'm tired of the Hive Mind in this thread that is constantly claiming multiple contradictory things all the time seemingly based on completely individual opinions based on a person's own unique perspective! lol that's what I truly missed from reading the thread almost a decade ago now, near daily accusations that the thread was a Hive Mind except they couldn't actually agree on what the hive mind wanted

Jerusalem posted:Goddamn Capaldi was so loving good. Deep Breath's first half was awful but then it kicked into gear and it just got better and better as it went along. I think I've said it before but the turning point is the restaurant scene. Everything before is bad and everything after is good.

Heaven Sent should have been first, it’s a loving masterpiece, but World Enough and Time is amazing as well. I still think about the implications of that black hole spaceship from time to time, such a cool setting and a natural fit for what happens in it.

Khanstant posted:I'm on Amy's Choice. I don't hate the concept of the Dream Lord, love me some psychic pollen and all that, but I hope they bring it back at some point. The doctor being the doctor's own enemy is a decent hook, and I don't think the Dream Lord has to be stuck only with that one specific trick. Toby Jones is a treasure. His Dream Lord performance is one of the greats. Every line, loving golden.

The_Doctor posted:The final Sherlock ep was on tv again recently (one of the UK digital channels just plays it endlessly amongst their scheduling), and I watched (some of) it for the first time since broadcast. It is utterly poo poo, with nothing worth redeeming. Somehow I forgot that Sherlock’s sister literally has superpowers. I don't think I'll ever rewatch it. It completely destroyed any goodwill I had for the show.

I also kind of like the implication that with Peri it's not the Sixth Doctor, it's the Curator.
