Did Thirteen get three seasons or four?

Series 11, 12, Flux, and the specials, you mean?

...Honestly I just lump the specials into the whichever Series they debuted after, so Eve/Legends/Power are all Fluxian stories

How is that show, with the caveat the viewer might prefer to never see disney marvel material ever again? Is it the kinda thing where it stands on its own or do you need to be all up ins marvelsphere to make sense of cross-events and cameos?

I thoroughly enjoyed S1, and the same's held true with S2, and I stopped watching/caring for Marvel movies after Endgame (with the last viewed movie being Far From Home)

Still plagued by Marvel Quip To Undercut Serious Moment, but it worked just fine for me regardless

I'd recommend it

Abu, the Meddling Monkey

You may be on to something here...

Did the Doctor nick Abu's fez (or more likely the monkey took a liking to him over the Monk and gave it to him before leaving) and that's why he has a fondness for them?

I was thinking the actual mark, but I’ll accept this.

All I really meant was a prestige level "serious and could run on HBO" style filming/show. Absolutely no limits on the actual premise, they just have to actually try to say something and do it with style.

I can fully get behind the Paul McGann with Jacobi showing up. The audios were fun, lets do it with higher quality VFX and get really loving weird with this time war stuff. Though as mentioned, a Skaro series could be fun - but I fear it would suffer from the same end as the BSG spin off Caprica (too far removed and not good enough to stand on its own).

Could do what Series 9 (and Andor) did, by having sets of 2-3 episodes telling a focused story, with some connecting tissue stringing the whole thing together (insomuch as one could could consider the Hybrid thing as connective tissue (see also, "Timeless Child" and "Flux")

I remember at the time they said it was the intention to reshoot that scene with the current Doctor, did they ever end up doing it with Capaldi or Whitaker?

You should get a dropdown menu when you play the episode if you want Smith, Gatwa, or a cardboard cutout of Tom Baker.

There's a lot of easy outs

The Master lied (what better way to mess with the Doctor than to dump their trauma off on them?)
The Matrix is flawed (has it ever not been?)
Something something machinations by other party (CIA, Shadow Proclamation, Great Intelligence, Absorbaloff...)

The best use of the premise would be to use it as an excuse to be able to get any actor in for a single story where they get to be the Doctor, like Benedict Cumberbatch, Eddie Redmayne, or David Morrissey

Dunno if I'd count his total screentime equal to three movies, but that kind of energy against the Chumblies or the Meddling Monk, maybe have him team up with the Corsair for some hijinks...

Watching the Unleashed for the Star Beast and Tennant and Tate are joking that he could've done something original for Fourteen rather than play it as Ten again, like changing the accent, and now I kinda wish they'd gone with that, just to lean into that something about the whole thing is weird, like every other Doctor is Scottish for some reason

I wonder if Tentwo's the result of Twelve borrowing from his future in Extremis

quote:

"The thing about the universe is, whatever you need, you can always borrow, as long as you pay it back. I just borrowed from my future. I get a few minutes of proper eyesight, but I lose something. Maybe all my future regenerations will be blind. Maybe I won't regenerate ever again."
Yes, yes, we know that last bit to be a big ol' lmao, but still...


I also wonder if Rose Noble's going to play another pivotal role against the Toymaker with her own crafts and plushies - the Toymaker makes all toys come alive, and suddenly Doctor and Co. have Daleks and Cybermen fighting for them

So according to this Deadline article, current DW writers will basically no longer be receiving residuals from repeats of the DW episodes they wrote. Instead of receiving a smaller initial fee plus residuals for repeats, they will receive a larger fee up front (but won't get any residuals for repeats). This apparently was part of the deal the BBC and/or Bad Wolf made to get Disney+ as the international streaming partner.

Not quite sure how I feel about this, but my gut reaction is that it's not a good thing.

How would residuals even work with a streaming service?

Do you get money based on individual views of an episode? Minutes watched?

I liked it quite a bit, but regarding the ending: "She had a kid so the power is spread out now" was a good solution, and the "binary/non-binary" thing was on the nose but sufficiently clever that I still liked it. But holy poo poo "oh you can just give the power up whenever, it's actually not a problem at all" was a cop-out. First off, why didn't Donna just do that right away then, and second, why do it at all? Donna and Rose sharing the bond and a bunch of technobabble knowledge was a cool dynamic and we got, like, five minutes of it. You could've just decided it was spread out enough to be non-fatal.

Would she have known she could back in the day?

Why did the Doctor kill himself with time vortex/radiation if he can just let it go of stored energy at any time? (Heck, doesn't he do the latter at the start of Series 3 by shaking it out of his foot or something?)

Just caught up with the Children in Need special with NuDavros, and while I'm not thrilled with the change, if that's what it takes to keep the Yoof engaged with the show then whatever. But - doesn't "disfigured guy in a wheelchair" also apply to the Daleks themselves? That's literally all they are, congenitally hosed-up little dudes with mobility aids. Are they all going to be normal looking and walking around too?

e: just a guy in shorts wandering around pointing his finger at passersby casually going 'Exterminate"

Could be worse
