Guessing this console room's a bit sterile because the final version is going to appear when Fifteen updates it in the same way that Twelve updated Eleven's without totally changing sets, except this time they planned it from the start.

Sydney Bottocks posted:There's no speculation because RTD himself admitted that Disney+ has input into the scripts, he even gave a vague example of them telling him to change a particular scene because it wasn't jolly enough or some such thing. Oof, that sounds bad.

RTD seems like he'd be the kind to say 'hey this is a deal-breaker' in the representation front. And if it got out that Disney was trying to remove LGBTQ content from Doctor Who the backlash would be catastrophic, far worse than when they do it to their own shows. But ugh, Disney is probably going to try to fit this into one of their standard demographic target boxes and Doctor Who doesn't really fit theirs.

Sydney Bottocks posted:Disney only cares about that stuff inasmuch as whether it'll affect movie ticket sales in China (since the Chinese market is one they've desperately been trying to break into; and from what I understand, China has some very restrictive anti-LGBTQ+ laws, to say the least). Beyond that, they seemingly don't care if characters in a show are gay or bi or trans or whatnot. And I don't think they're hoping to crack the Chinese market via Doctor Who any time soon. Nah, there's a lot of stuff out there on feedback various creators have gotten about cutting back or removing LGBT implications. Although most of what I've seen is in the animated TV division.

LGBT stuff aside, I wonder what the Disney feedback would've been on, like, Midnight, for example. I can easily see them as pushing the show away from stuff like that.

Prodigy's the only one that's somewhat differentiated in terms of audience. LDS is targeting the core trekkie audience and SNW/Disco are trying to target core plus the casual-scifi-watcher audience (SNW more successfully than Disco). While Prodigy is hitting up the general kids audience (as well the trekkies, who are assumed.) (Although judging by these forums Prodigy lost a lot of the trekkies early on when it seemed very non-Trek in tone and was quite star-wars-esque. In the long run it turned out to be done deliberately so it could explicitly shift from being Wars-like to being Trek-like as an introduction to the franchise for kids. And then turned out to be Voyager season 8 and 9) MikeJF fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Nov 28, 2023 |

It's a general problem with TV these days that they don't mix for people who are just using their built in speakers or basic sound system anymore, they tend to design things around high end headphones or professionally set up 7.1 sound systems.

DoctorWhat posted:The doctor being mostly in control of the TARDIS and the material realities of television production where actors want to move on create a circumstance where companions only leave in times of crisis or under tragic circumstances because otherwise the doctor could just take them home but also why would they want to go home? Honestly, I feel like instead of shooting Amy and Rory off into the past, they could've just had them say 'enough is enough' after having to mutually commit suicide at the end of Angels take Manhattan to survive. They'd been building TARDIS fatigue on them for a while.

Dabir posted:He did keep doing that, with Amy and Rory specifically. Him just being there kept dragging them into things, but they were family, he couldn't keep away unless he had no other choice. Well, he wasn't just visiting them, they were coming along with him. It could've worked if they'd left by the two of them retiring from the TARDIS and show but it's implied he just occasionally visited them but they won't ever join him on journeys.

Fil5000 posted:And honestly I still don't quite get how the cyber conversion thing in that episode even worked given it required consent from the dead mind for half of it but then they were just raising entire graveyards in seconds. The minds were already done beforehand, she'd been capturing every dead human's mind and getting them to consent in the nethersphere and processing them to be Cybermen for much of history. The nanite rain was just to assimilate the bodies in the cemeteries and create Cybermen for the minds to be downloaded back into. It's a pretty horrific implication. Tens of billions of dead humans were taken and twisted by her in the nethersphere. All our dead loved ones. The episode kinda skips over the scale.

Fil5000 posted:Oh, that makes sense, fair enough. I refuse to believe that literally the only people that couldn't break the conditioning were Danny and the Brig though. There were probably a few other outliers, but with Danny it was more that they just hadn't had time to finish gaslighting him into consenting. The initial pass failed when he was interrupted by the kid he killed, but I'm sure they would've just stepped it up a notch and gotten him anyway if events hadn't reached a climax first.

Bi-generation being a myth that turned out real makes me think of the Doctor having just invoked superstition at the edge of the universe last episode. Did he make superstitions and myths start to become real?

Maybe I'll turn out they actually bigenerated into both Missy and Dhawan so we can have them both back.

I've been out is there a reason people tend to refer to him as Ncuti instead of Gatwa? Generally when taking about the others it's surname that's most commonly used but I see y'all saying Ncuti more often. I suppose people tended to refer to Jodie Whittaker as Jodie too.

Open Source Idiom posted:I'd never heard that about The Toymaker, where's that from? Tardis wiki credits Donald Tosh on the Time Meddler DVD commentary: they're apparently talking about the Monk and mention that the Toymaker was also intended behind the scenes to be of the same race as the Doctor, back when it was very undefined what the Doctor was. Was well before the Time Lords were named in The War Games.
