The Unicorn and the Wasp is pretty mediocre apart from the incredible charades scene, which does a LOT of heavy lifting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J54gML6eTCk

I liked the 2 season arc of 12 and Clara's relationship see-sawing from one extreme to the other in terms of Clara going from disgusted with him to identifying TOO much with him and wanting to be like him to her own detriment.... but man I wish we could have had more time with the 12/Bill setup from his last season, it was so loving good. Also, apropos of nothing: Last Christmas is just a superb episode of Who. Edit: Oh poo poo, it's ALSO the answer to that earlier question about what would happen if the Doctor got infected by a facehugger!

Speaking of 7, I was reminded recently of Sylvester (I think) telling a story about meeting Peter Jackson ahead of being cast as Radagast. Jackson said he wanted to show him something and then brought out Sylvester's costume from his days on Doctor Who. Sylvester very politely remarked that it was a good copy of his outfit. Peter explained very sincerely that no, it wasn't a good copy, it WAS his actual outfit  .That must have been surreal - Academy Award winning Director of one of the biggest/most successful movie series of all time being a gigantic fanboy of the 3 (not altogether well-received) years you spent in a role in the previous century.

The_Doctor posted:The Hobbit trilogy probably stopped Jackson directing his Who episode he wanted to. gently caress, I forgot they even did a video of Peter Capaldi at Jackson's house(?) to announce they were going to do it.  Though if I remember right, Jackson was also trolling by having a copy of The Silmarillion on his table in that video

And to think, I thought the weirdest thing I was going to see today was Big Finish putting up an announcement telling overseas buyers they didn't want them buying audios from them anymore! If this is a bit it's very sad, if it's not a bit, then please go and see an actual real, honest-to-goodness doctor and get help.

Random Stranger posted:Eh, this isn't so bad. They're basically implementing proper exchange rates for their pricing instead of doing the lazy option and changing the symbol. Given circumstances I can't blame them even if it's about a 10% price increase. It's significantly more than that for me, and I know I'm only one person.... but I matter to me!

Seems pretty straightforward to me, the Doctor walks out of their TARDIS, the Time Lords take back the Stattenheim remote control they had given him, thank him for dealing with the Dastari problem but note that Jamie is a bad influence so they sent him back to the Highlands and they've finally chosen his new regeneration form!

Still holding out hope that when this current incarnation of the Master regenerates, he turns into Missy and we discover he was the immediate regeneration after Simm, not Gomez, and had no idea 12 preceded 13 all along

apophenium posted:What do y'all think about the novelizations and other Who novels? There's actually another poster who is currently going through some of the Target books and it's always great to read their thoughts, so please do the same! The books were a big part of my childhood, I had a big range of the Target books and would read and reread them along with my Conan books, I just found them endlessly fascinating - especially since at the time the Hartnell and Troughton stories (not just the lost ones) weren't easy to see, so it was a way to get MORE Doctor Who and it never being enough, which is basically the throughline of my life.

FilthyImp posted:I'm really out of the loop. What kind of poo poo show was it? Somebody can hopefully correct any details I have wrong, but I believe there were issues around overworking the cast and crew which Eccleston I believe tried to prevent by putting his foot down and refusing to normalize working beyond the maximum hours that are supposed to be allowed on set, thinking that without him they'd have no choice but to pull back. Instead, they just worked around that by scheduling Billie Piper's stuff for those extra hours of filming, and she was too new/inexperienced in acting to feel confident standing up against that type of thing. I believe Eccleston also wasn't overly happy with the way the production ran in general, he'd come in with different expectations from his experience of working with RTD on The Second Coming. Beyond that though, in the last couple of years it's come out that Noel Clarke acts very inappropriately on set (not just on Doctor Who, but also on his own productions where he was the driving force behind some apparently very misogynistic behavior), and John Barrowman had a "hilarious" reputation for just taking his cock out and slapping it around on people's shoulders and near their faces.

Really puts the Chibnall era into perspective. That's the one with the cat nurses, and the Doctor ends up pouring all the cures into a giant vat (the elevator?) and using it to make an EveryCure for the EveryDisease?

Chibnall when he wrote for RTD and for Moffat always felt to me like he was aping their styles (usually not all that successfully) and I used to complain about that, but given when he had his own way he brought in the Timeless Child nonsense, maybe that wasn't a bad thing! I still think he had a lot to offer in terms of production, in that he seems to be very good at putting together very talented cast and crew, and has some very high-minded ideas, it's just that unfortunately he's also doing the majority of the writing and it's the weakest part of his contributions to Who.

Since the entity from Power of the Doctor (which I at first assumed would be one of those "creation" aliens from The Battle of Name I Can't Remember) instinctively took on the form of somebody/something that the viewer would feel inclined to protect, I'm sad we never saw it from The Master's POV simply so we could see that it was seemingly The Master chained up there.The_Doctor posted:Or just have the Timeless Child be out there somewhere, and never follow up or confirm who it is. Yaz: So she's just out there somewhere? Is she okay? Doctor: Oh I'm sure she's fine. Besides, I promised her that one day I shall come back.... yes, one day

Oh yeah, I'd be more than happy to leave Susan exactly as the show left her, I'm just considering other ways to salvage that Timeless Child bullshit. In the end, perhaps the method that Chibnall himself came up with is the best: the Doctor dumps the whole thing in the garbage and never speaks, references or thinks about it ever again.

TinTower posted:Just do a Modified 6B Theory: Two basically gets strong-armed into working for the CIA, and then at some point after Two Doctors, he has to regenerate into Fugitive for reasons unknown. This has been my take on it as well, it's just a separate thing to the Timeless Child nonsense, she's just one of the forced regenerations foisted on the Second Doctor before they ended up at the Third. I honestly, legitimately thought we were gonna get a final episode where the Fugitive Doctor starts regenerating and then cut to (the HD!) footage from Spearhead from Space of Pertwee falling out of the TARDIS.
