Please see a doctor if at all possible. We're all concerned, and while I can't speak for literally everybody, I don't believe it to be in a snarky, dismissive, concern-trolling way used to win an argument or score message board points or whatever. You're seemingly making connections between disparate, unrelated things that make it feel like you're getting closer to some hidden truth, and that is almost never actually happening when it feels like it's happening. On the off chance you've not taken some meds, get back on 'em if you can. And if you stopped on purpose for the reasons people usually do, my younger self often included, they're life-saving and wonderful and you're not somehow more the "real you" for not having taken them. And if you are on meds, and there have been any changes to them recently, definitely speak to your prescriber. No matter what, we hope you're well.

Narsham posted:I have to say that what really irritated me was after Eleven saved Gallifrey and Tom told him it was still out there, just lost… and then Moffat never did anything with that at all and it was just casually there again during Twelve’s run. “Here’s an interesting story I will set up and then never do anything with” bugs me more than “here’s a really bad idea I had but then let drop without further development.” But then Chibnall just blew it up off-screen so we'd know The Master was a bad guy again.

I'm fine with The Master still being evil because the possibility exists now for each new incarnation. Each Doctor can now, should they explore this, really, truly give each new Master a chance, and some may be cartoons and some may be evil by default because of circumstances, and some may be more like Missy wound up. But then they had him genocide he and The Doctor's whole race and welp. So, yeah. I hope we learn that this Master came before Missy.

Hell Bent's greatest sin is coming after possibly the best single episode in the history of the show. When something's in the running like that, you don't wanna' follow it. DinerTARDIS was great.

Moffat's run was amazing pretty much the whole way through, even when it was dodgy. Chibnall only managed about three good episodes and he had to bring back most living Doctors to achieve one of them.

I maintain that The Timeless Child stuff was actually a great idea done terribly. Having the Time Lords be the aristocracy that stole everything that made them special was a great way for them to continue representing real-world power structures. But making The Doctor be the center of that was poo poo. If it had to be somebody we know, it should've been The Master.

Has there ever been three years in a row with a new series featuring the same Doctor since the reboot? This really seems like it's been normal the whole time to me. But it's the Beeb. I'm just surprised whenever they make more of anything ever.

Rosa. Demons is the other one. At least, the other one that didn't have to pull most of the living Doctors out of its rear end to land.

I've been so disappointed in the Chibnall years that I've never worn my 13 cosplay or even her coat past that first Halloween, but today I'm having an aunt and uncle over for an early Christmas dinner and at least got to dust off those wonderful boots of hers. Here's my dilemma: do I just give up on the cosplay and move these boots into regular rotation or do I hold out hope that the bad feelings will subside and I'll be stoked to dress as 13 again someday?

There was a viewership decline because there was a radical shift in how people consume media, though. Viewership for literally everything is down because audiences are more fragmented than they've ever been. When Tennant began, only dorks had smartphones and we all watched Netflix by having DVDs mailed to us.

Jerusalem posted:That's really cool, and I do wish Moffat could have worked out something with Eccleston... but also I absolutely loved John Hurt as The War Doctor and I wouldn't want to ever risk that incredible 50th Anniversary Special we did get. Though maybe in some alternate reality, Good Jerusalem (we're the bad universe, obviously) is saying the same thing about never wanting to lose the Eccleston 50th?

If the clip's posted I have to watch it. Those are the rules. I've been working on a screenplay and there's a section in the climax that's shorthanded in my notes as just ALL THIRTEEN because past me knew present me would absolutely know what to do there. Gods, that moment. And I really do need to stress that aside from a gal I knew making us all watch The Christmas Invasion one year at a party (and me not really liking it because as introductions go, it sucked. The Doctor's barely in it), I had never seen any Doctor Who when I watched Day of the Doctor. I then watched it nearly every single night for an entire year. My old man had just been diagnosed with cancer and I needed something there was a lot of to binge in the background while I had sixteen browser tabs open and my phone out and was fully an entire fifth of bourbon deep trying in vain to keep myself from feeling the pain. I'd watch 3-4 episodes of Who, then Day of the Doctor. Always, always, always Day of the Doctor. It was exactly the uplifting bit of optimism I needed to get me through the single worst period of my life. I know I'm the only one who wants this, but I really hope Moffat comes back once-in-a-while for funsies now that his buddy's back at the helm.

Engaging in and/or reading others' competitive prognostication is something with which I believe I'm reaching my lifetime limit after arguing on the internet this last quarter-century. None of us knows what is happening now, nor what is going to happen here. We seem to agree that Disney interfering with the show would be troubling, but not whether or not it will happen or if it is already happening (via network notes, which every network has always given) and frankly, I don't see the utility in arguing about it when "if it happens, it's worrying, but we'll see what that means when these shows air" is right there. But that isn't a position that facilitates the opportunity for a years-later I-told-you-so that gives you that sweet, sweet "nobody believed me, but I proved them wrong" dopamine hit.

I'm a little Mastered out myself, now that you mention it. Partly because they undid all that wonderful development they got with Missy. But Sacha Dhawan was so wonderful to watch, so I was willing to go along.

I've not seen the classic series aside from Genesis of the Daleks, so they've not really moved backwards with the Master before for me.

Ages ago when I first discovered Who, I tried to watch what was out there in chronological order and found there was literally no way to do that legally, (or even easily via  ) so I never got to do it.Is it easier now?
