I feel so weird that the Fourteenth Doctor's first adventure is a DWM comic script and he doesn't even get a hint of post-regeneration trauma. He's just like, "oh. huh. i'm this face again. huh. anyway, time to have an adventure" and I feel that's extremely jarring given how much buildup the "what. what. what!" thing got at the end of the last episode. Is anyone even following the story? What's the deal there? Is it just 10 again, or does he have a different personality?

All it says is:quote:Doctor Who returns in November 2023 with three special episodes with David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor to coincide with the 60th anniversary. Ncuti Gatwa’s first episode as the Fifteenth Doctor will air over the festive period. I choose to interpret it as three episodes airing around the time of the anniversary and then another one over Christmas

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4hWnOnuMEU&t=322s Someone compiled the Camden night filming footage and basically assembled one of the scenes from episode 1, Fourteen meeting Donna and Rose and the sonic showing off some new features. I'm not too keen on that last part; the sonic's already a do-everything object and I kinda sorta get why JNT killed it back in the day

David Tennant came to the Good Omens premiere wearing a "leave trans kids alone you absolute freaks" shirt and the worst people you know are currently turning into corn cobs. Graham Linehan piped up, only to delete his tweets later.

i have just learned that the Stenza currently have one (1) appearance in spinoff media and it's an offhand mention of how they got owned by the loving Raxicoricofallapatoriansquote:The wider Stenza race, however, remained active conquerors. On 4 April 2304, they conquered Tivoli, wrestling control of it from the Voord. They were initially viewed by the Tivolians as heroes. They later lost the planet to the Raxacoricofallapatorian on 19 May 2311.

Davros1 posted:I've always imagined a scene where The Doctor comes across a battlefield, and it's just thousands of Weeping Angel statues, and before each one stands a Cyberman, forever unmoving. That would require writers to engage with the core concept of the Cybermen and thus far nobody but Steven Moffat seemed willing to do it (and even then he got bored with it halfway through The Doctor Falls) I watched Earthshock the other night and it struck me just how... badly the Cybermen get handled even in what's considered their best TV stories. They're just Guys in Suits in their later appearances. Their whole concept works only when you acknowledge and explore the fact that despite what has been done to them, they're still people, not just interchangeable drones.

Fil5000 posted:Yeah they're just a huge missed opportunity whenever they're on TV. I suspect the main issue is that the properly affecting stuff about them is the body horror which you can't really do at 7pm in an ostensibly family show. The best you can manage is James Corden being forced to wear a hat. And that’s *another* thing! I hate how the Cybermen are just Guys In Suits. Robocop came out 36 years ago and you’re telling me we can’t do anything even half as convincing as that with modern VFX?

I always assumed the reason the Cybermen can't just gently caress off onto a planet and stay there is because they still have a bunch of organic components that can't be replaced or repaired, so they're still mortal; they can't reproduce on their own, so the only way to keep the species going is to keep converting people. Which leads me to think of a story taking place on a Cybermen farm planet, where a captive population is kept and maintained just as conversion fodder. I wonder if Big Finish ever did anything like that

On one hand it feels excessive to give the screwdriver such an "epic" reveal trailer with all those dramatic angles and the music But on the other hand it's just so silly I can't help but smile.

I actually enjoyed the essay, and then it led me to Jay's series with Stubagful where they take apart all of Thirteen's episodes as they air, only to get hit with the two year gap between series; eventually, they start laying down their own Doctor Who series (staring Alan Rickman who somehow didn't die in 2016) and it's actually kinda cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JjkZBb__x8 She's also working on another five hour essay summing up the entirety of Chibnall Who but who knows when that'll come out armpit_enjoyer fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Jul 21, 2023 |

You're devoting way more thought to this question than Chris Chibnall ever did. Just accept vibes based storytelling like the people working on the Witcher keep saying.quote:Baginski: The audience changes, it’s not like… It all changes. I see the [quickening] of the processes Jacek Dukaj wrote about in his book After the Script. We resign from cause-and-effect chains, from linear narration. This book-like narration. When it comes to shows, the younger the public is, the logic of the plot is less significant.

Some stories state that all Daleks are unique individuals but in practice, they're almost always portrayed as drones in a hive mind and that always bugged me. Same as with the Cybermen. I presume there's Big Finish stories that actually do examine what it means to be an individual Dalek or Cyberman but lmao if I'm going to go through check notes 1010 goddamn stories just to find them. Any recs?
