I'm "enjoying" the fact that after falling off of newwho by the end of Capaldi's run and coming back to enjoy the heck out of the winter content, I'm immediately met with another bafflingly long gap between seasons. The more things change, etc.

Honestly I'll admit I'm not stoked about Moffat coming back because I think he sucks as a person, but I also know he'll likely turn out a banger of an episode under RTD and I'm like "well, poo poo"

armpit_enjoyer posted:Wait, does the community have beef with Miles? As far as I know he's done nothing in particular. It's more that he's smart but he's got no filter or social skills, and wrote some pretty out there stuff for the books that some people resent him for writing. Nothing tremendously edgy, just weird/radical/interesting lore that a bunch of people ripped off from him (incl. Moffat) and which he's never minced words about. He's the Time War dude. I remember him gaining some notoriety for taking The Unquiet Dead to task for the anti-immigration reading, which, yeah, fair enough.

Always loved the bit from the Angels two-parter where she wrote her co-ordinates on some artefact, knowing the Doctor would eventually, some day, see it in a museum.

armpit_enjoyer posted:Wait, does the community have beef with Miles? What Open Source said plus he's just kind of an arsehole about a bunch of other Who creators. Like, he insisted on referring to Paul Cornell as "shagger Cornell" for a very long time, declared Gary Russell was killing Doctor Who, that sort of thing. He's not always wrong about things but he's enough of an arsehole enough of time that you almost don't want him on your side of an argument.

If Steven Moffat has done something that needs to be exposed then expose it. Pointless to coyly vaguepost about how you could bring the whole Doctor Who edifice crashing down with six words if only you weren't so noble.

Fil5000 posted:"shagger Cornell" for a very long time, What does that mean? I understand shag as a verb, but "one who has sex" isn't very insulting. Fucker Cornell makes sense as a translation except that I don't think shag is equivalent to gently caress except in the context of a sex verb. "Shag you, ya shaggin pollywog" is something I could hear in a British accent but I've never heard shag used as a general replacement for gently caress.

Lawrence Miles is just a standard forums poster from 20 years ago, it's just that most forums posters from 20 years ago didn't move in circles with Doctor Who (relative) bigwigs2house2fly posted:If Steven Moffat has done something that needs to be exposed then expose it. Pointless to coyly vaguepost about how you could bring the whole Doctor Who edifice crashing down with six words if only you weren't so noble. He specifically says that others can do it rather than him personally, which (given that it's the kind of thing that would get you sued if you didn't back it up) makes sense, and also talks about why they don't.

Which, I dunno man, seems like a weird thing to say.

It's a very 90s insult. Miles wasn't happy with The Ancestor Cell iirc, and there was a whole ton of drama about that, then BBV sorta kinda had the Faction Paradox rights for a bit. The ongoing storyline in the EDAs is a mess of half explained ideas tbh. I met Cornell once at a book signing about ten odd years ago. Nice chap, he was amused that I mentioned Scream of the Shalka.

It definitely continued well past the 90s, lol. The (online) people who accused me of being feminist just to get chicks were always the same people who assumed that I was gay from something about my language choices. I'm glad my kids are growing up in a different time.

A quick Google turned up this interview someone did with Miles for a fanzine in I think 2003? Over two decades ago, maybe he's changed his mind on some of the stuff he says but the overall tone is similar to his Twitter presence I'd say. https://www.curufea.com/doku.php?id=faction:factionfinal

And it will fail horribly, because inevitably it'll be aimed at the kind of fan-targeted SF market that didn't even exist until Star Trek: The Next Generation came along and spoiled everything. Doctor Who only works as a family adventure series, but when it finally comes back you can bet any money you want it'll be like Babylon 5 or something. It'll only last one series, maybe two. So then the TV programme will be dead forever, the license will be in limbo, and nobody will ever want to pump more money into it as a TV concept. Imagine the Milesverse where NuWho only lasted one season and it was "Trial of a Peladon Lord".

There's always been a weird gatekeeping thing when it comes to Who authors. I remember a story about Cornell getting into Nick Briggs' face at a BF meeting when BF got the Who license. Haigh-Ellery had picked Briggs to write the first release, and Cornell got upset since Cornell thought it should have been one of Virgin NA author because THEY had been keeping Who "alive" and Briggs wasn't one of them.

The arrogance. We keep Doctor Who alive in our hearts and minds and occasionally thinking directly into satellites to rescue him.

Since we're talking about Lawrence Miles, the Doctor we keep alive that way isn't the original Doctor but an extremely-online media-obsessed alien shaped into the way we remember the Doctor.

His arms are too long https://www.doctorwho.tv/news-and-features/coming-soon-the-tardis-memoirs quote:The Doctor has a unique bond with their TARDIS. They’ve always loved the ‘old girl’ for the way she’s gone looking for trouble anywhere in the universe. The Doctor says they stole the TARDIS from Gallifrey. The TARDIS disagrees…she stole them. It hasn’t always taken the Doctor where they want to go, but it’s made sure to take them where they needed to be. Vinylshadow fucked around with this message at 05:38 on Mar 21, 2024 |
