Twelfth Doctor's theme is literally called "Am I A Good Man?" Compare that to Eleven's "I Am The Doctor"

Power of the Doctor script Changes: - Scenes were placed differently or removed. - The Spy Dalek is given more background: A Biological Combat engineer assigned to ameliorate defeats in combat with the solution of turning their casing into nukes and destroying the Kaled puppet. The dialog in its first scene is different as well. - The Qurunx reveal scene in the script has the Doctor be a bit more incompetent, requiring probing from Yaz to figure it out. - Cut lines state the Master was a) the real Rasputin (which means that Boney M's Rasputin was in reality, about him) and b) the cause of the Tunguska Event. Fittingly, his second-to-last scene has him get shot several times. - Vinder's lines during his intro scene are different, and said scene is also longer. - There's a scene in the TARDIS shortly after the Master's capture where he plays mind games with Yaz. - The scene before the Doctor arrives in the volcano has Yaz say "Pay me that respect" after "Make time." instead of a brief summary of the events so far. - Ashad has this one badass line: "My army has awoken. And now we shall convert yours." that was replaced with generic Master mocking. - The Master's lines revealing that he has the resources to force a regeneration is different. Same with the actual line before he does so. - The Master-Doctor (as the script calls the bodyjacked Doctor) pages Yaz, and she materializes the TARDIS to meet him. - Deegeneration (the reversal of regeneration) is explained. - The Fugitive Doctor (identified as Doctor F) has a bigger role, first appearing via the HoloDoctor glitching and getting more lines when in Russia. - The joke about the lease on the UNIT base was added later. - There are more lines at the companion meet up. - Thirteen's final speech is different, and is a bit sadder. - The script ends without Fourteen's reveal.

RTD explains why David's clothes regeneratedquote:“I was very certain that I didn’t want David to appear in Jodie’s costume. I think the notion of men dressing in ‘women’s clothes’, the notion of drag, is very delicate. I’m a huge fan of that culture and the dignity of that, it’s truly a valuable thing. But it has to be done with immense thought and respect.”

Time to rerelease All The Things with the new logo I guess Still, it's nice of the artists to show off the textless versions in case you want to, say, have the logo match the Doctor in the story or something

Cleretic posted:If I'm thinking about it (and honestly being kinda generous), I think Chibnall never quite found his own voice in Doctor Who, but was actually fairly good at replicating what works in others'. The Power of the Doctor felt like an attempt at an RTD finale, but if I'm honest it's at least a fairly good attempt at one, it might actually work better than some of the actual RTD finales. And Village of the Angels is pretty clearly his attempt at Moffat Horror, but he kinda did it better than Moffat did half the time. PotD aped a fair bit of Journey's End, down to having past companions come in and help fly the TARDIS Kate's sacrifice wasn't dissimilar to Harriet Jones (Former Prime Minister) either

Rosa was needlessly walking on eggshells, which was a bit silly when just last series Twelve flat-out punched a racist in the face Although I guess then you'd need to fill the remaining 40 minutes of runtime with something else once the entire fam got a shot at punching the racist in the face...

I mean, is there a universally-agreed-upon single "worst" story in Doctor Who? Would it be easier to split it into books, audio, classic, and reboot, especially given the reception to Chibnall's run tends to drown out what came before? What aspects would you measure for it? Just the overall story? Production, direction, acting?

Should've given the MasterDoc Six's coat for maximum clashing outfit pieces, but I guess that'd have completely overshadowed Four's scarf since it's also multi-colored, and the decorative vegetable probably would've vanished into the design too Ah well, maybe some day they'll bring it back to assault all the senses

OldMemes posted:Eve was pretty good, but playing the creepy, unlikable stalker off as lovable comic relief was a misstep, especially that cringeworthy 'rasta' line. Isn't it usually "The Doctor stumbles into a Dalek plot" rather than "The Daleks actively seek out the Doctor"? Although the latter has been happening a lot recently, even if it's usually a trap or they want the Doctor to defeat an enemy they cannot

SiKboy posted:I'm willing to give it a chance, but I still agree with what I said when Tennant was first rumored to return with RTD; Bringing back Tennant (and Donna) smacks to me of creative bankruptcy. We'll see if he has anything interesting to say with it, I could easily be wrong, but I'm not sitting here going "Yay, Ten and Donna are back! Its 2006 again, everything is great and my back doesnt hurt anymore!", I'm sitting here thinking "So, no new ideas then Rusty? Just pushing these two back out on stage to mumble through the greatest hits for a nostalgia pop?". We're in a transition period, so this might be a preview of what to expect with Fifteen's run Granted, I wouldn't say Christmas Invasion was completely indicative of the rest of Ten's run, although it did set a few balls rolling that eventually paid off, so... "Don't you think she looks tired?"

Give Donna a happy ending and then give her another fifty audio series with the Fourteenth Doctor that all happen mid-TARDIS flight so that the Donna and Doctor that emerge for the climax of the special are a thousand years older than they were 5 seconds ago on screen

Framboise posted:It just feels like everything has been turned upside down all for the sake of being able to have an interesting Doctor-focused episode. And I mean I did like that it was interesting, but it feels like the "rules" of the show have just been completely thrown out the window. And there's the realization, when it all clicks The rules are subject to change, and usually it's done because it'd be interesting if it happened To take a quote slightly out of context: "Good men don’t need rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have so many." The Doctor will usually follow some arbitrary ruleset to make it through a story, but sometimes things happen to or around him that cause those rules to bend or break, as seen throughout Eleven's run, like the whole Impossible Astronaut setup, or the Pandorica trap, which are some of the most fun uses of time travel in fiction I've ever seen Or maybe the writers are all hacks  Good news: if you're tired of it, it's not as present during Twelve's run

Sat down to a belated rewatch of Husbands of River Song, and for a special that involves multiple beheadings and the annihilation of an entire starship of genocidal maniacs, it's surprisingly funny From "Carolers will be criticized", to Twelve being jealous, to bringing the head of Hydroflax to a room filled with people who adore him...  Also some absolutely amazing facial acting all around, whether it's watching a dozen different emotions play across the Doctor's face when he realizes his wife takes the TARDIS for a joyride when he isn't looking, and the slow-dawning comprehension that builds to a loving "Hello sweetie" "Every night is the last night for something. Every Christmas is the last Christmas."
