That's in the script phase though, not the editing phase. That also wouldn't get rid of the really pedestrian (at best) direction in the rest of the story.

mind the walrus posted:Looms have shown up in this thread before. Much like Doctor Who canon itself they're at the heart of things, really. I can only imagine what Toxxupation makes of the references to the absurd pieces of Doctor Who lore that pepper the conversation (well, more absurd than Doctor Who usually is). Not that he should try to understand it, that way lies madness. There is knowledge that once you understand it, poisons you forever. You will never be clean, never be free, it will always lurk in the shadowed corners of your mind. When you are in your bed at night, drifting on the edge of sleep, you'll think of it. Alternatively, looms is the goatse.cx of Doctor Who.

As a person who went to exactly that sort of school, very little different ninety years on, I wouldn't say Redfern was written or acted as "compassionate lady with Old Fashioned Views". That puts too much emphasis on her actual personality, when the position - or the archetype of the position - is what's really being played to: she's very easily identifiable as The Boarding School Matron.

Well excuse me for not catching the reference, but I'm a proud American and had a proud American education, where we hit each other with bits of broken cinderblock until we learned to love Jesus enough. Haha, no, but really, our educational system is in the shitter and that's terrible.

I just want to point out, I always lose, and lose pretty decisively, when playing against oxx, and decided to play it on the hardest mode because well I lose against him on the difficulty I actually am decent at so why not? Then in the song before this, I still loving lost, but it was kinda close, so he LITERALLY RESPONDED "we can't have that" and chose the hardest song in the loving game This is how my friend treats me

He still visits his internet review friend once a year, every year. I wonder if one day he might forgive him, but there he is. Can you see? He beat him by nine million points. In a video game.

In a video game. Do you ever think that StoneGirl and ScarecrowBoy started dating after whatshisname died? I mean, they're both horrifically immortal thanks to the Doctor, stuck on Earth, and neither can DO much. I also wonder if they were still on the Earth when Nine watched it burn due to supernova.

Has anyone kept track of how many different ways the world has actually ended in Doctor Who? I think there are at least three different explanations for it on the old show. Plus a couple for Atlantis and a few for the Loch Ness Monster. Not only has he seen everything, he's seen it twice, and it's always different!

I must have seen these last two episodes, I definitely remember the WW1 school, the pocket watch and Jojen. I think I remember finding the scarecrows a bit too silly though. The review kind of made me want to give it a chance (partially just to see Viserys Targaryen in another role - he came off super well in the DVD commentaries too), adding it to the ranks of that black hole episode, Gridlock and the ending of series 2... Also Toxx, if you don't mind me asking, what job did you do in the US military?

The Doctor can travel anywhere in time and space, seems to know every place in the universe and everything that will happen throughout history. He's a trickster who outsmarts seemingly unstoppable threats at every opportunity and death is an obstacle that he has overcome countless times. He interferes with peoples lives and the history of entire worlds and he's laughing the whole time. He is absolutely a capital G God.

Capital G God isn't historically considered much of a trickster, though.

It's certainly a valid enough direction in which to take that character for one incarnation. Fair enough that that one guy doesn't like it but saying it's bad because they did it is silly.

Toxxupation posted:Doctor Who Hold on, the "last human as face-on-a-tarp" thing was the second episode of the Eccleston series? I must have missed that one the first time it came on, because I watched a lot of the Eccleston series, and liked Eccleston as the Doctor... but when I saw this episode (I guess it was a repeat I saw after "The Christmas Invasion") and that loving tarp-face, I stopped watching and swore the show off forever as terribly stupid.

The character returns right after the Christmas special (in a Tennant episode), so you may be thinking of that one (it's also the one in which they mix all the disease remedies into a giant vat to cure the incurable zombie disease).
