Updog Scully posted:https://twitter.com/fleshykrynoid/status/1744289184276214246?t=hOPrPu_p-SA-FOwnybP4tA&s=19 I like to experiment sometimes when I go out to eat. Often it's decent, and I get to experience something new and enjoyable like the Ethiopian restaurant I went to last night. Then sometimes you end up at a Thai/Viet/Mexican fusion joint, or Skaro, and maybe you decide you'd be better off with burgers or South Croydon after all.

Cleretic posted:In fairness, 'sci-fi nerd' might be one of the hardest things to write in a sci-fi show, especially one like Doctor Who with a legacy. It'd only be a matter of time until you accidentally hit an 'Einstein exists in the Starfox universe' problem, where she references something that in part exists because of Doctor Who. You can handwave that away by just saying that Cybermen interacted with 19th century England and while that wasn't well documented, rumors of the event seeped into popular culture, resulting in the sci-fi trope of cyborgs and humanity draining cybernetics. Also, in the modern day, everyone on the planet should know about Daleks and Cybermen. At that point sci-fi is just basic education.

MikeJF posted:Was doing a model shot like that cheaper than a few nice matte paintings? I feel like a few nice matte paintings would've worked out better. I can't really recall many matte paintings in old Who. I do recall a bunch of, and I believe I'm using this correctly, naff miniatures. Maybe the BBC just didn't have a matte painter on staff back then?

The best way to watch Dr. Who is the same way The Doctor travels through the universe: Haphazardly and without any sense or reason.

Unkempt posted:I just rewatched Seeds of Doom for the first time in god knows how many years, and They have guns for other humans, actually. A bunch of countries have unenforced territorial claims and research stations on the continent, and everyone is mostly well behaved, but there's always the possibility someone could decide to enforce a claim, or someone could have a mental break due to the dark and the cold and the isolation, or maybe a sled dog from the Norwegian camp could break out and a couple of crazy Nordics could show up in a helicopter slinging grenades everywhere and you have to take them out.

MikeJF posted:Seals, actually. Antarctic treaty prohibits any military purpose and you wouldn't be allowed to have more weapons than you need, but I believe it's not uncommon for bases to have a weapon suitable for seals, well-secured under restricted access. (At least near the coast. People speculate, of course, but in theory there's no firearm at South Pole Station.) Leopard seals are cute right up to the moment they open their mouths, then it's very clear why they're called leopard seals (in addition to their spots).

Jerusalem posted:Love this story for being the first introduction of the infallible, simply cannot have its information faked Matrix, the same one that is used by the Master for the Timeless Child reveal to the Doctor in season 12. Love this story even more for showing that the Matrix evidence CAN be faked. By the Master! I don't have time for all that. I just watch the scene where the Cybermen awaken from their frozen tombs.

Random Stranger posted:"Well why would the BBC want to own it. That series went off the air over five years ago! Nobody remembers it except for a few nerds! And if some of them want to own doctorwho.co.uk for their little radio show thing, who cares?" -- some BBC high muckety muck in 1996 Right before they wondered out loud if there were any old episode tapes that could be erased forever.

Open Source Idiom posted:I'm trying to remember which EU story it is that has the Doctor say this, and then the evil alien menace thinks about the offer for five seconds and says, "actually, hey, yeah, that's a good idea. We'll take you up on this." This kind of happens in forest of the dead and the eleventh hour. Hell, it even happens when 12 has to be Missy's Jailor for a thousand years.

Angry Salami posted:This should really happen more often. Have the Master claim to be a future Doctor and see if he can make it five minutes before blurting out "Fooled you all!" Y'know, we've seen the Master be the Doctor (sort of) as Prof. Yana, and we've seen the Doctor (particularly #10) do some poo poo that would make the Master say "oh my!", what I'd like to see is a story where they have to take up the other's role and the find out to their dismay that they're way too good at it for their own liking. Also, it should be a rule that whomever plays the Master should either be IRL buddies with the actor playing the Doctor, married to them, or even better, divorced from them.

MikeJF posted:A TARDIS cat that just randomly wanders through the entire history of the TARDIS with no care given to order or time. It just appears, demands food and scritches, and vanishes back into the cat dimension. It's actually the feline in charge of the Universal Cat Distribution System.

It's important to remember that Dr. Who is a show for children. Sometimes it is a show for children who don't know what the moon is, or even what words are.

PriorMarcus posted:It's because he's played by an actor of Indian heritage. The Doctor is weaponizing the Master's skin color to ensure he has a particularly nasty fate in the hands of real world fascist. You really don't see how that's a grotesque step too far? At worst that version of the Master could turn you into a soulless automaton and weaponize you against your own people. The worst any version did was promise you salvation from certain doom, drive you completely insane, cut off your head, and do that to every remaining member of your species in order to weaponize them against your ancestors.

Jerusalem posted:Out of curiosity, how was Treme for you? Better or did it just pay lip service to trying to be an accurate representation of New Orleans in the aftermath/rebuilding from Katrina? It was fine, good even, mostly because it was about the people and the realities of post-Katrina New Orleans and didn't just use a few landmarks as set dressing. The frustration, anger, and despair was all too real. Homer Simpson's restaurant tour was pretty cool, too.

Just one thing, Wild Blue Yonder pretty emphatically underlines the destruction of half the universe. After all, the setting of the story is inside the vast void created by that event.

OldMemes posted:My favourite bonkers TARDIS retcon is the one where it turns out The First Doctor used a Type 50 for business in his early life. When he left Gallifrey in his Type 40, the Type 50 was so mad at being abandoned that it hired a private detective to track the Doctor down, then sent up an elaborate trap for him. I haven't seen whatever episode that is, but that sounds like a fun idea.

Khanstant posted:I didn't like the "dog for every person" thing because not everyone is a dog person. I got attacked by a dog as a kid so I've always been pretty indifferent towards dogs (which seems to make some dogs more interested in me?) and I could name all the specific dogs I like that I've met on one or two hands (friends/family nice ones who never jump on me). I loved our family Husky though RIP. Some times the guardian dog you need is a guardian cat. https://youtu.be/ckDVpihCPq8?si=qFkuDlA9GVU7e2Mn
