Or it's a season from the Silurian's POV, so each week they try to take over the Earth, and each week a different Doctor shows up and stops them.

Kinda irritating how you can have stories with James Corden in them, written by Gareth loving Roberts, and they're perfectly decent stories.

Hollismason posted:The 2nd serial of Season 14 The hand of Fear is much better than the previous one. I do know that The Deadly Assassin is next on my list so I'm looking forward to seeing how that plays out. Well, the last till 2006, anyhow

Jerusalem posted:I loved the Leela/4 dynamic, him explaining how the TARDIS works is like a core memory for me To me a classic companion is one who's prepared to tell the Doctor he's talking bollocks now and then. Sarah Jane, Tegan, Romana, right back to Barbara even. Leela is high on that list, if only because she's usually right and has a better handle on the situation than the Doctor.

Warthur posted:The production of Invasion of Time was a shitshow because they had a bad budget shortfall (in part because the economy collapsed, so the money they'd been assigned to make the show didn't stretch as far) and Graham Williams and Anthony Read, the script editor at the time, had to scramble to lash together a script they could make with spare parts. ("David Agnew", the person the story's attributed to, is a pseudonym.) Am I remembering right that that budget shortfall was at least partly because Hinchcliffe, knowing full well he was going to be fired shortly because of noises being made by Mary Whitehouse, decided to blow as much money on his last season as he felt like?

Tom's last outfit would have been fine - the huge flappy coat, the boots, the vaguely piratey look to it - if hadn't been so relentlessly burgundy. I mean, I like burgundy, but there's limits

The destruction of Gallifrey gets even sillier if you consider the novels canon, given they had eight backup copies of the planet ready to go. Which were also destroyed.

adding 'anti' before fandom on any of their urls redirects you to a mirror of that page without any of the bullshit ads. There's also a browser extensions to do it automatically: https://antifandom.com/

There's like maybe four Chibnall episodes where if anyone mentions the title, I don't go "wait, what happened in that one?"

Edward Mass posted:I don’t know what any of that means. The need for middle to upper management to jump on the latest marketing craze. They'll be using something like ChatGPT to generate promotional copy, as a trial. I suppose we should be glad the show more or less avoided the whole NFT thing

Lawrence Miles is the Harlan Ellison of Doctor Who novels. Some brilliant ideas and writing, possibly some of the best books in the EDA range. Also a complete inability to play nicely with others, and a grudge list he's determined to hold onto.

Random Stranger posted:I know they're doing it as a joke, but I'm kind of curious how RTD walks out of it because Doctor Who (and most stories that want to use time travel as a concept) really shouldn't get into how it interacts with chaos theory because it means every time you go back in time you change literally everything just by being there. Their presence would proliferate through every chaotic system in the world, randomizing everything within two weeks time. You can do something with that, but it's not especially flexible as a concept so it's better to ignore it. I think The Time Travellers by Jim Mortimore jumps on this; it's a very timey-wimey book with Ian and Barbara going to 2005 and it's a dystopian hellhole, because the First Doctor hasn't dealt with the War Machines yet. But it suggests that every time they leave the TARDIS, it alters history. And that's why the Doctor never really goes back to see anyone, it's not the 'them' he remembers precisely.

RichMarinKT posted:What would happen if The Doctor bi-regenerated or something and ended up in a male and a female Doctor? Would they consider traveling together? What would that series be like? I want to see this but have a third, previous Doctor show to sneer. I mean, we know how well multiple incarnations get along. Have Colin pulling a face, "And I thought *I* was narcissistic..."

I don't even particularly dislike Jodie's outfit - It's far more forgiveable than Colin's - but it has an air of 'Eh, good enough, that's the minimum level of Doctorish attire we need'

Trouble is of course, with "Rosa", if you do anything other than 'we have to sit here and passively observe history', Chibnall is going to hit "Thank Goodness the Doctor, a white woman, was there to make sure things went right", and the whole civil rights movement becomes a Doctor Who story like the Dalek Invasion of Earth. Or like Timewyrm:Exodus, which is a good read, but writing off Hitler's madness as him being possessed by an alien entity kinda minimizes the horrors of the Nazis. I'm not sure what the solution is there either, beyond "don't do these kind of stories", because either version isn't going to be satisfying.

Open Source Idiom posted:I might be conflating this with later Toby Whithouse episodes, but Whithouse generally seems to be arguing that it's fundamentally immoral for the Doctor to offer human beings trips in space and time. So Vampires of Venice has some (light) comparisons between Amy and the vampire girls, suggesting that she's been damaged / corrupted / victimised by her experiences (which is true and happens repeatedly after) and then God Complex goes full mask off and has various characters explicitly talk about these concerns in the text. Similar to Tegan, who gets next to zero resolution to having the Mara gently caress her up, not once but twice
