Senor Tron posted:It's imteresting how none of those costumes apart from the final one at all represent the old man in a young mans body Doctor that Smith played. Toxx already watched part of Last Christmas, so that alone isn't a spoiler. Also, wasn't the tweed jacket Matt Smith's dads?

Oxxidation posted:And it's impossible to deny that, whatever you think of him as a writer, he hasn't been all that great as a showrunner - he infamously made a few very poor delegation decisions that created a ton of drama and wrecked the show's budget and schedule for two or three years, and the worst thing you can do to a Who fan is deny them their fix. Moffat's multitude of other projects besides Who means that his attention as showrunner was probably divided in a really bad way, and the effects are felt as his tenure goes on. I actually agree with most of this (I suppose I am a detractor, even though more than half of my posts about Moffat-penned episodes tend to be positive), although I think his problems writing women are a a little more apparent than you are saying, and I do mean a little. It's similar to the background sexism that exists in most of popular media, for sure, but because Moffat leans on his writing strengths and writes for the show so frequently, it gets more and more obvious as the show goes. Minus the kiss-o-gram thing, I do really like the way that Amy is written in the Eleventh Hour.

One of the only bad things about reading someone experiencing the beginnings of Matt Smith Doctor Who is that I get the Eleventh Doctor Murray Gold theme stuck in my head. It is not a bad song (it's catchy!), but having it stuck in your head all day imbues your grocery shopping with a kind of desperate, bombastic importance that makes choosing a brand of peanut butter a little too dramatic for my tastes.

Just want to confirm a couple of things. First, I have a penis. Second, I am indeed going for worst score. This is based mostly off memory with Netflix's paragrpah teasers to jog my memory so who knows how that'll go. E: that sounded too flippant, I mean use the standard masculine pronouns it's all good

Toxxupation posted:Hey there was a guy who said he's watching the show along with the thread, right? What did you think of eleventh hour, fellow new guy? That would be me. I've got a lot of friends who are at various levels of appreciation from the show, and I learned a fair few amount of details about the show from cultural osmosis and whatnot. I've also seen a fair amount of Classic Who from way back in the day and general sci-fi nerd-dom though honestly I never really held it all that highly in the terms of science fiction as such. That's why, I think, the Eleventh Hour resonated pretty deeply with me when I watched it last night, because it discards I think by embracing a different tone to the narrative (someone in the thread said it better that it embraces a sense of fantasy, while someone else pointed out how he is more or less a wizard) and tha;s where a show like Dr. Who could really excel. It's such a great modern fairy tale narrative. I've got no special grip on Moffat as a writer or director much yet, and certainly not as a showrunner, but Matt Smith impressed me immediately in a way that Tennant or Eccleston did not, and I say that being a big Eccleston fan outside of his work on Dr. Who. It's a strange level where it's not taking itself deadly seriously, per se, but it's not embracing camp either. So yeah this episode has made me into a fan, and as commented elsewhere, I wish this was where I started.

Some how I found myself watching The Eleventh Hour again. The preview doesn't really spoil anything. It's just non specific enough to look cool. Out of context they're just interesting facial expressions and action sequences. And it was just as good the n-th time watching it.
