io9 has a good write-up on last night's episode

http://io9.com/5844553/why-this-years-doctor-who-finale-was-mostly-better-than-last-years

>>29673
>And the Silence have somehow determined that unless the Doctor dies by the lake in Utah, he will be forced to answer the question ("Doctor who?") in his future — on the fields of Trenzalore, at the "fall of the Eleventh," when nobody can speak falsely or refuse to answer.

Fall of the Eleventh? Sounds like the end of Matt Smith, no?

>>29674
That article did a much better job articulating why I'm so disappoint on the River plot and her "marriage" to the Doctor. Thanks for sharing.

With all the faults the latest episodes had, I cannot fault their look. Ever since 11 the series has been eye-candy: great use of colour, designs and even camera shots.

rather than just block out bits i'm going to spoiler my entire post the second i saw the tessalector aprt of me thought "oh boy a shapeshifting robot, i sure hope this isn't some kind of get out of death free card. then i groaned when it showed up again because i could guess what was coming. though tbqh i was completely thrown off when he left the bar.

i was actually worried the daleks would end up being the badguys /again/ since they haven't shown up this season. it was pretty cool how they did use them though.

also sadface when he tried to call the Brig

As much as I liked River, Amy, and Rory, I have to say I'm pretty glad we're most likely done with them. I think they're happy he's alive, but I'm hoping Amy understands that they have to "pretend" he's dead, and won't go chasing after him. I'm hoping for a new companion to start off what is probably Eleven's last season.

dat scene with the skull pit and Gartok

Gruesome Doctor Who death or Gruesomest Doctor Who death?

>>29681
Oh yeah, and someone said on /tv/ that it doesn't make sense because they can't eat anything without digestive systems. To which I said: 'well, that's not going to stop them from TRYING.'

>>29681
The effects ruined it for me. I wasn't loving it.

>>29683
They tried so hard not to make it look cheesy, but alas...

>>29684
It's Doctor Who... should cheesy effects REALLY have an impact on your enjoyment of it?

I mean, the number one villain of the universe is a species that uses a plunger and an egg whisk as death weapons.

>>29685
In their defense, it is one really dangerous egg whisk.

Honestly, I really hope they explain where the tessalector comes from in the new season. Maybe they did explain, if so I missed it.

>>29679
Nah, the daleks will comes back soon enough...That is to say, for the Twelfth Doctor!

I think, after we've mostly had a break from them in this series with only a few "minor villain" roles (not counting Victory of the Daleks, of course), I'd like another Dalek-centric episode next season. Just one! I mean, the cybermen came back for this season in a pretty neato way (old school cybermen!) I dunno, the RTD years did way overuse them, but I don't think Moffat's run is risking that yet.

i like how they aged the doctor. he was running through regenerations a little too quickly (in his time frame) for my liking. three years of being alive? TIME FOR A NEW BODY

>>29690
Regenerate into something with tits, spend most of first episode play with said tits and looking at ones ass in mirrors.

>>29690
9 and 10 especially kept dropping hints that the Doctor was doing things and growing older between episodes and when the audience didn't see him, and that he was older than he was telling people.

>>29685
>the number one villain of the universe is a species that uses a plunger and an egg whisk as death weapons.

nah, you see the most dangerous villain in the universe is actually much worse i mean it travels in a magical blue phone box for christs sake

>>29702
When will The Doctor finally save us from that megalomaniac?

>Wait more than one year for special where Doctor finally defeats his worst enemy
>Receive meh

The first question. The question that started this whole mess. The question The Fourth Doctor never actually answered, but just simply left be:
"Do I have the right?"
That question allowed the Daleks to survive, and his presence altered Davros of the existence of the Timelords, which began their plotting against them, which led to the last great Time War, which pitted two powerful races against each other, only to sear them both away from all existence. Mostly.

At the fall of the Eleventh, that question will be asked once more, and the subjects of the Silence, who treat the Doctor like a God, will see their Lord fall, and their faith shattered, as his last words answer the question:

"Yes."

The Master said that the Valeyard was somewhere between the 12th and his final regenerations. A sort of impossibility at the time, but now? Now it's could well be.

>>29700
Exactly. We have no idea what Ten was doing after he lost Donna. He could've had thousands of adventures.

Once again one of my favorite blog sites has made some great points on Doctor Who.

>She’s “married” to a man who has never really demonstrated any romantic feelings for her outside of the mildest of flirtations (and the wedding itself consisted of him barking orders at her to “do as she’s told” after yelling at her that she embarrassed him) and she’s fine with that? Amy’s fine with that? That doesn’t ring true on an emotional level at all.

http://www.tomandlorenzo.com/2011/10/t-los-watching-doctor-who-terra-nova-homeland.html

>>29712
i hate to admit it, but this rings true for me. the doctor seems too cold, too judgmental. maybe it's because she's someone so close to him that he let's his darkness out, but there's no balance. no even hand. no forgiveness. what the hell, moffat? explain?!

>>29714
Man, we just had a conversation about Moffat and women last thread.

>>29714

Um, you guys know that it wasn't the doctor speaking right? The Doctor was hanging around in the eye waiting to get it over and done with. The Captain was talking during that time

>>29717
let me ponder this.

>>29717
ah! but i don't know exactly when the doctor isn't speaking through the tessalector and when he is. are there cues i've been missing? Also, the fact that the Silence aliens affect the entire Tessalector (or rather the Doctor makes it seem that way)... i don't know. it seems odd, but if there's anyone you need to fool, i suppose it would be the Silence.

>>29717
So, you're implying it was all the Captain of the Tessalector talking the entire time? How does that somehow make the relationship between the Doctor and River better? If anything, it is even worse than the original assessment.

>>29717
but wasn't it show in lets kill hitler that you can talk from anywhere?

i would think that the doctor was controlling the entire thing on his own from the eye VIA sonic dickery

>>29724
>sonic dickery

I feel like there is a way to use that in an image macro but my imagination is bupkiss today...

>>29712
The website makes a good point and may explain why I feel less satisfied with this season's finale compared the last season's. I can buy a robot being piloted by tiny men that can transform into any human being alive, or skulls devouring a man to death, but I just find it hard to believe that a couple would be okay with losing their child and rarely giving it a second thought afterward. I think this season's storyline was too ambitious for Steve Moffat. He wanted to tell a story with more risks at stake than previous Doctor Who stories, but didn't want to focus on the repercussions that comes with it. Perhaps it's due to the limitation of Doctor Who being a children's show that it couldn't be mature at times when it needed to be. I'm also bothered by the overwhelming love for the Doctor by people who are ultimately screwed because of him; too reminiscent of Russel T Daves' Doctor Who.

There were some great, fun episodes this season, but the story arc for this season was a step down from last season's and hindered the overall enjoyment factor of it. With the Doctor going into urban legend mode next season, I hope the stories will greatly improve because of it.

>>29729
So he is getting a new companion(s) right? I love who we've had now, but I'm quite alright if they're done with regular appearances. I guess I should know new ones are coming, but has there been any word of who might be playing the part?

>>29732
i believe at comiccon this year they confirmed that karen's back for another season, but to what extent, i'm not sure. if it's adventures and fun times with the entire pond family, i'd be totally stoked.

just a nice little romp through the universe without all the cataclysmic universe ending shenanigans.

>>29732
I'd love to see The Ponds-Williamses come back in a way that utilizes their individual talents and BAMFery, not just people there to keep the Doctor company.

Has anyone else here watched much of the classic series? I'm having a hard time finding reliable place to watch em'.

Future of more repeat monsters and such?

>>29767
Fucking David Cameron.

What if Steven Moffat had written the episode so that the Doctor made it out of that mess, but he NEVER explained how it happened?

"But, you died!"

"No, I didn't."

"But, you were shot, twice, and your body was burned."

"I got better."

"But, h-how could you even esca-"

"Oh Come on, Dorian, you're hooked up to the web in that box, discuss it online for eternity. Maybe you'll figure it out~"

>>29795
But that would just build into the belief that he is now working to dispel.

Yesterday was 9/10/11.

Crap.

>>29674
Man, from what my friend told me it was quite the opposite she thought it was the worst finale than any other.

>>29813

No finale could possibly be worse than Journey's End. You could film a piece of dogshit for an hour and then air it with a censor bar over it, and it would still be a better finale than Journey's End.

>>29813
watch for yourself.
>>29815
love donna. hate finale.

>>29815
I didn't mind Journey's End. It felt a bit cheesy with EVERYBODY showing up and calling/praying to the Doctor. But there were also some great moments for the characters to shine. Plus, Doctor!Donna. I only wish we weren't ripped away from that so soon.

>>29817
Still waiting for 11 to use Donna like a Bomb or a Gun.

"Stand back, or I'm make her remember and we all get it."

"I DON'T KNOW WHO ANY OF YOU PEOPLE ARE!!!!"

"And if they want to stay alive...they'll let us walk out of here and keep it that way."

>>29818
That would be a dream come true, but since 11's new modus operandi is staying away from notoriety it won't happen. He'd have to get his enemies to "look me and Donna up" for them to understand what the threat even means.

>>29820
Well her just having an inkling of remembering causes her to have a psychic knockout blast. So maybe kidnapped by Unit or something that thinks she has abilities an can be a weapon then her subconscious goes into overdrive protection and the whole place turns into a mini Zone and unknown to the doctor he has to stop what is causing the massive energy spikes and telekinetic damage that threaten to bring the whole place down around their heads.

Last part being wishful thinking

Facility allows him to bleed off the excess energy and allows Donna to remember without killing her and we get Donna back aboard for a bit.

Man, in comparison to the end of season 3, I fucking love Journey's End. Okay yeah a little cheesy but as mentioned before CATHERINE TATE WAS AMAZING. her impression of David Tennant's doctor was almost disgustingly brilliant. She hit the high notes his voice shifted to and everything.

meanwhile season 3 had jesus doctor that COMPLETELY overshadowed how fucking great John Simms is as the master. I mean, I have a high tolerance for bullshit in a show like Doctor Who i like davies i kinda have to but that was just a whole new level of mind numbing stupid.

http://blogs.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2011/10/11/doctor-whos-day-roundup-greys-anatomy-criminal-minds-reference-the-doctor-video/

>>29826
I loved Journey's End. So many great character moments there and dammit, I want Donna back. Why give us something as awesome as Doctor Donna and just toss it? It's mean, is what it is haha

Series 3's finale had a great build up, I mean fantastic, and just shit all over it with the whole Doctor Jesus thing.

I'll be honest, I would stab a man in the lung to get an Eleven/Donna season. They would play SO WELL off of each other. Eleven's all about doing the completely impossible, if anyone can find a way past Donna burning up, it's him.

As for Journey's End, yeah it was cheesy, but it was the GOOD kind of cheesy. The kind where you cheer because OH GOSH LOOK AT ALL THE DOCTOR'S COMPANIONS ALL COMING TOGETHER! FIGHTING AGAINST HIS GREATEST FOE! It was like that Power Rangers episode, "Once a Ranger".

http://www.denofgeek.com/television/1086090/steven_moffat_on_the_future_of_doctor_who.html

>Firstly, he’s confirmed that Amy and Rory aren’t in this year’s Christmas special, although they will be back in the next series.
...
Yeah, I guess I'd be up for another Amy/Rory season...

>It was like that Power Rangers episode, "Once a Ranger".
You misspelled Forever Red.

>>29834
what i loved
paradox machine
doctor/master interplay
martha being kinda badass
world wide threat with great build up

hated: actual solution. could have just given doctor enough psychic energy that he could convert into regeneration energy to bring down his age and fire off extra energy to escape... not float around and have special fanfic powers.

So I just saw the season final, I hadn't watched since Tennant's second season. It was fun, it got me interested again.

Have they ever given a reason for so many humanoids in the Universe?

>>29866
"But you look human!"
"No, you look Time Lord, we were around first"

I think that is the best we got to my knowledge.

I still love Star Trek for actually dealing with this.

Star Trek The Next Generation…

>>29867
Oh I so hope Transformers Prime goes into this territory to explain things. Heck the Spawn of Unicron thing is already awesome.

Doctor Who will be something along the lines of.
A.Timelords of the past like to conduct experiments on far away planets but were very sloppy on cleaning up..just chucked everything into the nearest viscous pool when they were done.
B. Tardis travel was dangerous in the early eons and..things happened to those early explorers (mutations or whatever)

Or likely he'll just look shifty for a bit then dodge the question.

>>29868
"Even Time Lords get lonely....plus timey wimey...well, you know how it goes!"

One thing I kind of find amusing in the show is how he'll occasionally be facing an enemy, have no weapons, no way out and say something along the lines of "You know me, I'm the Doctor. Think of all the things I've done. Are you sure you want to do this?" Then there will be a pause, and the enemy will back off.

Ive finished "Touched By an Angel" and I'm half way through " Borrowed Time", they're both awesome.

>>29940
as a nice way of maintaining that bluff, he'll say the same thing to his enemies even if he does have a plan. he just wants to maintain the peace and not have to kill anyone in the process... including himself and his companions.

Why does the Master have super powers and the Doctor doesn't?

>>29946
A:
>implying he doesn't

B:
if you're refering to the special, i assume its something to do with how he was ressurected

>>29946
Doc has telepathy, no? See "pre-revolutionary France on a space ship" & The Lodger.

>>29950
wait how does that first episode show his psychic powers.

and also he can smell all kinds of crazy shit like rift energy and taste what planet somethings from

>>29954
The Girl Who Waited had a scene of the Doctor using basically a vulcan mindmeld on Reinette to view her memories, and then she viewed his.

>>29956
*in the fireplace

>>29959
OH WOW. I has a dumb today.

plus i mean you know there's that whole being able to purge radiation/poisons from his body and stuff.

>>29949
>if you're refering to the special, i assume its something to do with how he was resurrected
That's what I was talking about. Just the electricity and jumping far.

>>29966
Yeah, that had something to do with the special resurrection business, and came with the price of ALWAYS HUNGRY ALL THE TIME.

>>29979
Aaaand now I'll never be able to NOT associate the Doctor with Katy Perry's E.T.

>>29982
aaaaaaaaaah shit why did you point that out, i'd never have made the association

>>29982
........SON OF A BITCH

>>29982
>>29986
>>29988
I have no idea what Dent is talking about. Does this mean I win?

>>29989
Allow me to educate you!

>>30012

Eh he's going to kinda have that anyway if his daughters marriage goes as planned.

>>30012
He does have a point, they're all getting pretty old... At least he's not OPPOSED to the idea.

>>30012
Man, what I would do to have McCoy AND/OR McGann back. I think McCoy and Smith would be a fantastic team-up. I honestly don't see Eccleston coming back, which is a shame. And I'll take any hint of Tennant coming back. That man is brilliant.

>>30025
I'd love to see McGann on screen with a decent script. I'm devouring his audio-plays atm, and he's wonderful. Though his manner of speech/voice reminds me of Beelbebrox sometimes, oddly enough.

>>30026
I've really been meaning to get into those. I'm burning through the Eccleston/Tennant/Smith books at the moment. Got any suggestions as to where to start and what some great ones are?

>>30030
We can trade information. I'm curious about the books. I read two but I'm not sure if I would spend my money on more since they're such quick reads.

So far, I've only listened to what I could get my hands on but I enjoyed all of it. First I did Shada, which is good but a bit jarring if you've read Dirk Gently. I also liked The Stones of Venice and The Company of Friends (which is what that illustration is from). That last one also introduces Mary Shelley as a companion.

>>30031
Being around $8 a piece on Amazon, it's a fair price, in my opinion. My 4th is on the way now. I'd DEFINITELY recommend "Touch By an Angel". A seriously good page-turner. "Borrowed Time" is full of wibbly wobbly timey-wimey goodness. I've got "Nuclear Time" on the way now, and I'm hunting for "Beautiful Chaos".

>Company of Friends
>Mary Shelley as a companion.
SOLD. I've gotta track that down. Is it a full audio play? Or just a reading of a book, like "Pyramids of Mars"?

Double post but who cares did anyone else see this why am I just now seeing it I am excite

>>30032
Shipping, man. I often have to pay more for shipping than for the books. But I try to pick them up when I'm in the UK. Nuclear time I have, and enjoyed as I probably mentioned in this thread before.

Full fledged audio play! Kinda sad how 11 hasn't got one of those yet, btw. And Company of Friends is a collection with 4 different stories, one of which is the Mary Shelley one, which is called "Mary's Story". The other audio she stars in is called "The Silver Turk" but I haven't listened to it yet.

>>30026
McGann would probably be the easiest Doctor to justify bringing back- He doesn't have to look like he did on the show, no matter how long ago that was, because we never saw him die. And he spent a good portion of his life fighting in a Time War that could easily handwave away any paradoxes.

And there was this picture.

>>30038
This picture pleases me. Why was it taken??

>>30039
It was McGann's proposal for a new look for the eighth Doctor. Unofficial, but very cool.

>>30038
I personally don't really like a sleek Doctor look. I love 9, but his costume is boring compared to the others'.

>>30033
IF I CAN'T HAVE THE SHENANIGANS OF THE DOCTOR AND DONNA ONCE MORE, I WILL TAKE "JACK AND ELEVEN BOTH AGREE THAT SUSPENDERS ARE COOL" AS AN ACCEPTABLE ALTERNATIVE

If they can't have ALL the Doctors team up, I would like maybe a team-up with one of them, and then the rest take villain spots of characters.

Evil Galactic Warlord Tom Baker, perhaps?

>>30054
I'm pretty sure that in at one point or another River Song WAS Ms Frizzle.

>>30056
Well, you are half right.

You've got the wrong Time Lady.

>>30062
LIES AND PICTURES OF ALSO LIES.

Carmen Sandiego would never murder an innocent hat.

>>30064
She would wear the hell out of one though.

>>30065
Thus making it impossible that she could be River Song, the David Berkowitz of hats.

>>30054
OCTOPUS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD?!?!

No no no, I was trying to say that The Friz and Carmen are different regeneration of the same Time Lady.

Who picked up her father's love of humans and teaching, and her mother's crazy. With a bit of fashion from them both.

>>30079
Soo...Both of them are Susan?

>>30085

Susan's Mother

Or Father, Gallifreyan Biology man . . .

Kind of a brilliant twist on Who costumes.

>>30142
THAT...is pretty fucking great.

>>30142
FFFFFFFFFF--you always see genderbent Doctors but holy shit I would love to see more genderbent companions jesus christ

>>30142
That's pretty cool! Me and my friend did a Doc cosplay last week for a con, but I kept completely traditional while she donned a skirt. Also, creepy Matt Smith masks.

Have an adorable comic.

All my d'awwws! What's the context/reason for making the video? It's adorable but it's also pretty obvious it was made around The End Of Time.

>>30160
why do i get the feeling this was all tennant's idea. look at how fucking enthusiastic he is about this shit.

>>30163
I think they just made it as a going away sort of thing for Tennant, or for just the sake of pure fun. It's all so great though!

Oh god, I lost it at the Ood.

My mom is not the biggest sci-fi fan, but, she recently watched "Blink" and loved it. She's reading "Touched by and Angel" now.

>>30186

I'm pretty sure we all did.

theres an event at an upcoming arts festival i'm thinking of going to.
its an episode of who, followed by a live interview with the writer of the episode.

the bad: the episode is "Dalek"

the good: the official event description includes an invitation to cosplay

>>30209
What's wrong with "Dalek"? I liked it a lot. Rose showed a bit of her burgeoning awesomeness, Nine gets some rather enjoyable pathos to watch, and we're introduced to the worst companion ever.

Unless you mean that it's bad because the writer only wrote that single episode and the rest of his Doctor Who stuff is outside the TV show.

>>30209
I think Dalek is probably the best single episode of the new Doctor Who series.

>>30225
The Doctor's Wife would like to have a word with you, but no, Dalek is really damn fine Doctor Who. One of the biggest hurdles it HAD to clear for that season was establishing the fact that the Daleks, veritable tin-cans, could be legitimate threats. Remember, there were probably plenty of people watching this show for the first time who didn't know jack about the Daleks and probably thought they were a bit ridiculous looking (in fact I was one of 'em). And with the season finale heavily featuring an entire ARMY of Daleks, they had to make sure that new viewers understood why exactly that was a bad, bad thing. "Dalek" did exactly that and more-- established the fact that while Rose is a pretty normal chick, she's got this huge capacity for kindness towards everyone AND letting us see the Doctor's ugly side in a big way.

>>30227
The Doctor's Wife is great and all.
However, if I were to have to pick an episode out of those two to watch with someone who'd never seen the show it'd be Dalek.
The Doctor's Wife assumes you're already attached to the characters and that you know generally what the fuck is going on.

I assume that when Probe said "best single episode" he meant "best episode to watch with no previous knowledge while still being a normal episode" and not single best episode.

>>30228
I just figured he meant best one-off. Not connected to an overarching plot or part of a 2-parter. Either way, I get what you're saying about "Dalek" and "The Doctor's Wife."

really? i thought people didn't like Dalek? the whole dalek picking up emotions thing didn't seem to sit well with people.

w/e, any excuse to wear a fez out in public

Oh hai

>>30234
>but Moffat’s Who certainly features some pretty strong female characters.
yeah in that Kate Beaton way.

Also-- I am wearing this shirt right the fuck now. Someone get me 12 jammy dodgers, maps of all the roads in Florida, and a fez.

>>30175
You aren't the only one. Season 4 should have been three times as long as it was.

i just want to see Jack and River in the same room.

you'd be able to power the TARDIS off the sheer amount of flirtation

>>30261
I'm okay with this. Very much.

http://youtu.be/bW23sog0hFU

Random distress signal or not?

>>30284
Okay, lost it at this one. Holy crap that's adorbhilarious

>>30280
well it would sync with the new "I've been through a war" Traveler look he's sporting now if people are correct on what they are hearing.

So hey what's the general consensus on the movie? I think it's on Instant Queue and I was wondering if I should bother with it, especially with all this chatter about McGann I've been hearing lately.

>>30298
For me it's in the "so bad it's amusing" territory. DW has bad episodes, no denying, and the movie can be seen as one of them. But there's some great moments, and McGann is definitely a good Doctor. If possible, get a friend and some booze and it's a party.

>>30297
remember, thats the voices coming from all the dead timelord distress beacons.

if the doctor is among them then the TARDIS has been eaten and he's dead

>>30298
It's...watchable. The Master is horribad. Really really bad. But 8th Doctor is great. I'd still love for him to come back in some way. But really, it's a FOX Night At The Movies special, like the 90's Generation X movie.

>>30038
What does he "need" a new costume for though.

>>30303
Because one can only stand going around looking like a classical composer for so long.

>>30303
Variety. why the fuck not?

both ten and eleven have had a couple of variations on their look

>>30304
>>30305
Don't forget he hated the hairpiece for the costume so that had to go.

>>30304
only he isn't ever appearing on screen anymore anyway.

>>30305
true, but the differences in style weren't as great.

>>30311
>only he isn't ever appearing on screen anymore anyway.
Don't make assumptions, dude. We've got a 50th Anniversary coming up. And there's plenty of chance for team ups.

i saw this in a bookshop tonight.

i am now 100% less impressed with that image

>>30435
It's a pretty good study in lightning, but I too am irked when I come across art blatantly based on official images. Especially if there's no disclaimer.

Sadly my report sprees on DA never lead anywhere.

Doctor Who - Series 6 - Christ…

Christmas!

>>30440
Oh my dear and fluffy lord. was that sum Narnia? I...I want to see this more than anything. I do, I do I do. Santa, I know I'm not christian, but maybe, just maybe, can you take pity on the little jew boy and bring christmas early this year?

>>30440
oh fuck, its the Brotherhood

or the Astartes. fuck me sideways, if that isn't the crossover of my dreams

>>30440
Suddenly I find myself attracted to men wearing suspenders and no shirt.

>>30440
Funny how the DW comics had a story about Narnia too this year.

>>30464
I refuse to believe that diagram, as I refuse to believe the interior of the TARDIS could ever correspond to Euclidean geometry long enough to be mapped out in diagrammatic format.

>>30467
Hell we have it from the horses mouth that it has access to versions of itself that don't even exist yet. And considering time is "wiblly wobbly" in Doctor Who....

>>30437
The interview at the DVD release also showed some extras/deleted scenes, with the Doctor in a white suit talking to Amy, telling her that her memory isn't bad, the past is just wibbly. I wonder where those fit in.

We haven't actually seen much of the inside of the TARDIS in nuwho, have we?

Doctor Who: Series 2 - Christm…

>>30608
Not visually so much but its been described a bit more in 11 run then 9-10 with talk of every control room that has been or ever will be still being in the TARDIS along with the knowledge that his companions actually have rooms as well (my memories of classic who are sketchy so they might have mentioned companion rooms back then but I've forgotten.)

>>30610
I like those random hints of libraries and swimming pools (which I think we got a look at in classic Who), because your imagination can just fill it all in. And the possibilities are endless. Like 8's butterfly room.

>>30610
I know in some episodes of Classic Who we actually get to see the companions rooms occasionally. Couldn't even begin to tell you which episodes, but I've seen screenshots of them and stuff.

Hmm, 'Christmas came early'. They wouldn't say that if it was a new Doctor, so I wonder what it is.

>>30767
Okay, turns out it was two lost Doctor Who episodes. The Underwater Menace Episode 2, and Galaxy 4 Episode 3.

This doesn't complete the serials, of course. Menace is still missing Episode 1 and 4, and this is the only part of Galaxy 4 they've found. But it's still a good find.

well he seems like a complete twat. also the new doctor who is definitely a show made for adults that appeals to kids (see: my awesome 11 year old brother), not the other way around.

>>30823
>i liked it as a chiled, therefore it is a childrens show
FLAWLESS LOGIC.

after all that QI, i was actually starting to like you David

also
>childrens show

>>30871
>>30877
>Show for adults that appeals to kids
>Not just a family show made for kids and the adults who grew up on it and love it/want something fun to watch with their kids

>>30878
name me a big budget show with a prime time slot that is for children and i may accept his argument

>>30877
...but it was a children's show, when he was a child. And nowadays it does rather cater to the adults who watched it as children. It's pretty much gone the way of cape comics. The only flaw in his logic is that it's not really a children's show anymore and he obviously only dislikes it because he just finds it rather dull.

>>30823
David Mitchell, you are a twat. The original Doctor Who was a FAMILY show, not a children's show. It was designed from inception to be programming acceptable to children, but also palatable to their parents, to be aired in prime time.

You guys are acting like there's some sort of shame in being children's programming. 90% of the best stuff ever written was aimed at children. Star Wars was aimed at children (and that one comes straight from Lucas). Let's not get in a tizzy because generally-entertaining-but-admittedly-kinda-snobby TV Funnyman David Mitchell called our Television Program About Time Travelling Alien Demigods a children's program. It's not like it's in bad company if it was.

I never get tired of timelines.

A movie with 2 semi-Doctors, one of whom gets semi-raped by Harry Potter's uncle Vernon.

Just watching the New New York motorway episode again during Tennant's run.

What a load of SHIT this is. How did I not notice before? So many illogical happenings in this epsiode and horrible plot contrivances. People willingly going onto a motorway that everyone knows no-one comes off. An airbourne virus that kills a PLANET in 7 minutes, where the blissed-out senate still somehow manages to quarantine the whole place while dying in their seats. People thinking travelling 10 miles in 6 years is sensible. No-one in the under-city slums going up to check out where the over-city's gone and why they don't hear from them. 'Forget' and 'Sleep' beings moods. The drug traders being, somehow, unaffected from all the rugging that's gone one (with three healthly, happy looking suppliers in STALLS all selling on the same street). Creatures 'de-volving'. The DOCTOR using the word Devolved, even!

Ho-lee christmas. I can't recall the last time I've seen such concentrated plot-bullshit in any show. This is so terrible it's unbelievable.

Chameleon Circuit - Eleven

FOUR
MORE
DAYS

Who's actually going to try and watch the special with their families? I'm not even going to attempt it.

>>30902
I watched last years, and much of series 5 and 6 with my parents, so yeah I'll probably be watching this one with them too. My mom hates the show, but my dad grew up watching the Baker episodes so he likes the newer stuff.

>>30904
American here. My dad's familiar with Baker through people he knew in college; outside of that though, he wouldn't care really. Oddly my mom has seen me watch DW and quite likes Smith, so she'd watch it if I were at the time.

>>30902
Wow, it is almost that time, isn't it?

I might watch it sme time next week. Hiatuses really kill my interest and excitement in an IP. Knowing the special will simply bring along another long wait is less than appealing.

>>30902
I'll probably watch it with my friends and mom. She started watching Matt Smiths run recently and really likes it.

Quite enjoyable, this christmassy audio-play. Equally funny and creepy.

Doctor Who BF29 The Chimes Of Midnight

>>30899
Hilariously, this is the second episode of Doctor Who I ever saw. The first? Doomsday, of all the fucking things. I had a weird, weird introduction to Doctor Who.

>>30902
Man, I don't even have cable at my parents house and I don't think I can torrent shit on a tethered connection (but I will try, trust me).

...Wow, that special was fucking awful. The writing was just all over the place, and it ended up feeling like ten different episodes mashed together.

This is gonna be one of those episodes only I really like, isn't it?

>>30991
Not really, i enjoyed the fuck out of it.

That was quite nice actually. Have to ask though, does this imply the Ponds are back, or just a cameo?

>>30994
Cameo. Ponds are done with and on their own path now.

>>30991
It wasn't bad just... mediocre. Not on the level of Fear Her or The Next Doctor, but it certainly didn't live up to last year's special. Even Bill Bailey being in it didn't help.

http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2011-12-20/steven-moffat-hints-at-multiple-doctor-who-50th-anniversary-specials Most interesting.

>>30994
As has been spoilered over the internet a while back, the Ponds are back in the next season, where they will come to a "heartbreaking end".

I was slightly disappointed by the special. Couldn't top last year's. Also, not enough Bill Bailey.

Also, I feel like I need to watch the Caves of Androzani now.

Karen Gillian's leaving, so I'm assuming they'll kill Amy off. That doesn't mean Rory'll leave with her, though. Yes, they're very close. Yes, they work best as a couple. But there's always the possibility.

>>31004
>A season or two of just the Doctor and Rory Motherfucking Williams-Pond

YES PLEASE. Actually, please give us anything to define Rory outside of Amy Pond. I like Amy well enough but Rory doesn't have much character outside of her. It would be great to know who he is when not dashing off to rescue his wife.

>>31007
>Rory doesn't have much character outside of her.

Bull. He's also the worst nurse in the history of the universe.

>>31008
OBJECTION!

The universe is diseased, and his fists are the cure.

>>30996
it could have been saved if Bill Bailey was the token human and not the family

son made me infuriatingly angry. cheap trick to drive the story forward while keeping me wanting to punch his fat glasses through his eyes.
ignorant daughter was okay for comic relief at times
mom was just a mom, a wife, AND a bad driver. gender roles/stereotypes~
moffat, i know you can do better.

>>31056
Wait, what the hell did the little boy do to make you angry? He didn't even have that many lines.

>>31061
his lines were fine.

it was his bad decisions. so many bad decisions. continually making bad decisions.

>>31056
I don't think the bad driving part counts since the army guys said it took years to learn how to operate it.

>>31074
Pft of course he made bad decisions, hes a little boy. Its practically their purpose in life to make bad decisions.

In general, I hate the "cute little precocious kid" trope unless it is applied properly. It's almost always annoying and ginger kid was no exception. Lily was pretty great. Whole thing was just OK, but the ending gave me all kinds of tears so there's that. Happy tears. ;u;

>>31084
lazy writing with annoying kid
i don't have to like it even if it's believable.

>>31084
lazy writing with annoying kid
i don't have to like it even if it's believable.

I'm starting to feel there are several elements of Doctor Who right now that either need to leave, be more brought up, or toned down.

The biggest one I feel is that the Doctor has never had a swordfight in the TARDIS. And I feel that the world is greatly hurt by this absence.

And I don't want to hear about the Doctor being a pacifist, because I just watched Tom Baker break some dude's neck.

>>31108
RDJ's/Moffat's Doctor should have taken advice from a different Doctor...

>>31109
>RDJ's Doctor
I can't help but imagine Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law as the Doctor and his companion now.

Other acceptable pairs include Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. Any Holmes and Watson really.

>>31111
Desperately wanting Ginger!Cumberbatch to play the Master. It would be magnificent.

>>31108
>And I don't want to hear about the Doctor being a pacifist, because I just watched Tom Baker break some dude's neck.
Yeah, well, pre-time war and all that.

>>31111
Wow. I.

I have no excuse.

>>31112
Benedict

Watched Fright Night during my Christmas break and there's the most wonderful, blatant 10th Doctor ref when Tennant's character does the "WELL..." while discussing how to kill vampires. Also his girlfriendish's name is "Ginger" and that got a retard grin out of me and Doc Professor as well. (Also Fright Night is really fucking good and not just for Tennant but ok a little bit for Tennant. But it also has new!Chekov!)

>>31164
I guarantee that the director told Tennant "don't be afraid to be more like the Doctor."

http://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/02/10/scoop-doctor-who-star-trek-official-crossover/
>in May, IDW are to publish a Doctor Who/Star Trek: The Next Generation crossover series. Featuring The Doctor, Rory, Amy, Captain Picard, Worf, Data, Geordie LaForge, Deanna Troy, Will Riker and the rest. And that this art, featuring the Doctor, Rory and Amy on the bridge of the Enterprise is a cover that will be used in the series.
WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW FREAKING GIDDY I AM RIGHT NOW.

>>31786
This is going to turn into Britain vs America.

The Cybermen and the Borg could potentially align themselves with each other, as they have similar goals and practices to an extent, with the Cybermen possibly being what the Borg wish they were, or something.

The Daleks going like a lawnmower through the Borg, the Dominion etc. would be something I'd find particularly entertaining, as pretty much only the Doctor appears to be able to stop them when they're at full power.

The Klingons suddenly realising that the Daleks aren't going to be honourable opponents they were after would also be hilarious.

>>31786
Money on Janeway being hinted as a TL?

>>31786
Iiiiiinteresting.

I wonder how the Doctor would fare against Q.

>>31786
That sounds fucking boss, I just hope the interiors aren't nearly as stiff as that. That's Salvador Larocca levels of stiff and boring artwork.

*Rory and The Doctor come in wearing a blue medical service uniforms*

*Rory pulling at the collar*

R:"Do I have to wear this?"

*Picard turns around adjusting his dress uniform*

P:"If you are going to stand in as a starfleet officer during the conference you have to dress the part."

R:"Alight, but do you have anything in red."

>>31789
You know how there was mondasian and cybus cybermen?

Well, the Borg are the ST 'verses version of them, much as the necrons are the 40k verse's version.

>>31794
That's the way IDW's Who covers always tend to look.

The interiors will likely be far less photoreal.

>>31796

Yeah, I know. Kind of annoying that people complained that the Cybus ones were rip-offs of the Borg when the new series of Who airred.

>>31800
I meant that literally. Much as the Mondasian Strain had its analog in the zepplin-universe, they both had their reflection in the ST 'verse. Savvy?

>>31792
Q backs down. Not even the Q continuum is arrogant enough to get in a pissing match with the Lords of Time, let alone the Oncoming Storm. That's just asking for your shit to be wrecked well beyond anyone's ability to contain.

>>31803
Yeah, I disagree. Cause Doctor Who HAD a Q Continuum counterpart: The Guardians. And the only ways the Doctor has ever beaten THOSE guys is with the help OF other Guardians, and even then those victories have just been based on stopping their plans and getting the fuck out of there. He had to spend a whole season running on random just to get away from one, and all he did was scatter a few pieces of a Key. The Guardians don't die or fail, they get slowed down.

And what would Q's brethren have to look at with the Doctor? He did beat his race and the Daleks, so he might be a capable opponent, but a quick look at his interactions with something similar the Q Continuum means they know the Doctor knows full well that taking on the Q is a bad move. They won't be cocky, but the Doctor is not a totally unbeatable force on their scale. Q won't back down.

But I do want to see them up against one another.

>>31786
My mind is ablaze with ideas. And every one posted here is good. I'm excited to see how this unfolds.

so while thinging about doint a 9 cosplay, i came up with the idea of trying to get all the doctors in one costume. i made it as far back as 4 before i hit a wall.

>fez
>white and red trainers
>leather jacket
>cravat/fobwatch
>question mark vest would be awesome but impossible so idk umbrella?
>those fucking pants
>celery
>scarf

and then i dont know what. any ideas?

>>31897

A frilled shirt for Third, a Cravat for first and...

Damn. I don't know for second? Maybe just have his stupid haircut. Or get an item associated with him.

>>31897

Go for a recorder, 2 played one all the time.

>>31954
the cravat would clash with 8. but i like the frilled shirt. and i've decided on getting a wig for 1's hair

>>31955
although this might work. if 2 had a unique sonic screwdriver that wuold also work

http://www.express.co.uk/features/view/304650

i felt a disturbance in the force, like the screams of a million fangirls

>>32015
>DAT FUCKING NEWS
Oh my fucking fuck fuckity fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck I can't be more fuckking excited

>>32015
This I am psyched for!...but didn't the Master finally legitimately die/fall into the time lock with the rest of the time lords? I thought that The End of Time was a fantastic send off for him, as well as a movie (calling it that because it totally is) on its own right.

How would they bring him back? Would other time lords also comeback? I don't see that as too bad of a thing actually maybe.

>>32019
>This I am psyched for!...but didn't the Master finally legitimately die/fall into the time lock with the rest of the time lords?

Universal reboot/time implosion.

>>32019
I honestly didn't enjoy End of Time, too much. I thought it was really overblown. But yeah, I'm excite.

>>32021
I really liked The Masters cheesy ass skeletal effect, it made me laugh every time.

>>32015
OH
MY
GOD

>>32021
But... but... Timothy Dalton!

>>32025
Oh, dude, trust me. I love Timothy Dalton, and he was fantastic as Rassilon. But I just felt the story was very overblown and full of un-needed fluff.

>>32025
>>32026
Honestly though, who doesn't love Dalton. Personally though, I say Bernard Cribbens stole the show as Wilf.

>>32028
>Bernard Cribbens stole the show as Wilf.
Oh lord, yes. Wilf was so cool, I wanted so badly for him to be a companion for awhile.

>>32029
That would have been awesome. So what exactly did you not like about the end of time?

>>32029
That would have been awesome. So what exactly did you not like about the end of time?

>>32049
It's just that it felt really overblown. Like, a lot of fluff could've been trimmed. ESPECIALLY the end where Tennant is saying goodbye to everyone.

Not...sure if want.
