I'm not thrilled by her performance at all, but I've been assuming it's down to bad directing and a lack of a solid vision for the character.

Eccleston's anorexia was a long running thing dating back to his childhood. I can't imagine the stuff he was dealing with on set helped, but it wasn't the direct cause.

Right, the only reason the year of specials was that way was that Tennant was off doing plays and stuff. The BBC side was fully prepared for a full season.

Open Source Idiom posted:Doesn't most Doctor Who kind of imply this? From humans oppressing the Ood, Cassandra in The End Of The World, extreme class societies on Kaldor, humans being locked in alien miniscopes so that other humans can gawk at them... prejudice, slavery, stratified societies etc. etc. seem to be things that most civilisations struggle with. Of course, yes. But those are forms of prejudice specific to their time. They're unpleasant, but they fit into the world those characters come from. The villain in Rosa, a guy from the giga diverse ultra future, being racist specifically against black humans, is like someone today being racist against the Goths.

Sydney Bottocks posted:Part of the problem with using Rosa Parks in a DE story is that it's a very specific cultural touchstone for African-Americans, one that I honestly don't feel a white British person is capable of handling properly, no matter how well-intentioned they might be, because they don't have the necessary cultural context. It'd be like if an American sci-fi show decided "hey let's do an episode featuring the Brixton riots" or something like that. To be fair to Chibnall, he seemed to know that. He got Malorie Blackman in to write at least some of Rosa.

Eiba posted:I think it's perfect. To those who think the orange shirt looks a bit odd or off: good. The Doctor should look a little odd. They can wear whatever striking nonsense they want, and as long as they have self confidence it works. A traditionally cool outfit is cool, and the Doctor has had plenty of those and they've worked. But an cool outfit with a striking bizarre quirk also really works. There's striking (see: Baker) and then there's offensive to the eyes (see: Baker)

Christmas Carol is a Matt Smith Christmas special. It's a fine enough episode, but if you think about it too much the idea of the Doctor going back in time and loving with your life like that is terrifying. Better than almost every other Moffat Christmas special by default, though. Maybe you're thinking of Last Christmas?

Sometimes, and this might be a reach but bear with me, the person making the creative suggestion might have a point, and RTD might agree with it. I'm willing to take him at his word that the first episode opening wasn't as fun as the others, and that wasn't intentional, and when he had that pointed out to him he enthusiastically made it more fun. We'll see how this turns out when we get it, I guess.

The only eighth doctor novel I've read was (I think) the last one, with the fly aliens who show up and puke on people to mark them for eating and pheromones make everyone else think those people are dead and refuse to acknowledge they're still walking around trying to get their attention

I mean there's a few inches between them, from some quick googling McGann is 5'9 and Different sources give McCoy as anywhere between 5'2 and 5'6. Apparently he's had some surgery on his ankles, knees and hips but I don't know if those would make him shorter.

Khanstant posted:Feel like the best a Doctor Who game could possibly be would just be some elaborate version of playing through a good episode or story as a point-and-click or adventure game. Something linear, where maybe you can feel clever now and the noticing something before the Doctor does, playing as the companion. Unless they got really high-concept and had the story be about a videogame itself in some way, I have a hard time imagining a good Doctor Who videogame that wouldn't work just as well or better as non-interactive media. There were a few of those, weren't there

MrL_JaKiri posted:God no, a lot of them are terrible. You also have a lot of evolution of peoples abilities over time because some were associated with the programme for decades - there is a story featuring, imo, the best doctor with the best companion(s), written by the best writer, and it's complete dreck. Yeah Time and the Rani was a huge letdown

Do they say what the Japanese were like before the aliens? Cause the worst ever example of that trope is probably Star Trek Voyager, which claimed Native Americans had literally no culture at all before the aliens showed up.
