Yeah, I wasn't cool with the doctor being played by someone younger than me. Then Matt Smith came along and proved me completely wrong so now I'm basically fine with whatever.

I think they should do an entire year of every episode starring a different actor as the Doctor. And not only that, but the show never comments on it. No explanations, no "well you see when a Timelord accidentally jams their sonic screwdriver too far up their bum," no regenerations seen or mentioned in the story. Same companions, even. Including the two-parters. So first part might be Judi Dench and second part might be James Earl Jones (or substitute your own preferences).

The end starts 15 April 2017 - the airdate for the season/series premiere. They also have the list of writers for the season – a great writer (Jamie Mathieson, Mummy on the Orient Express and Flatline), a classic writer (Rona Munro, Survival) and an “oh dear God no” writer (Peter Harness, The Zygon Invasion/The Zygon Inversion, and his episode is a two-parter co-written with Moffat).

I think there will be a remit to bring back many of the viewers who left with Tennant and I have a feeling that Chibnall maybe more similar to RTD than Moffatt. So with that in mind a sexy young Doctor will be hired, someone who will attract a young squee happy female audience, he will have a high profile but will not have broken into the movies. There is a logical candidate. Harry Styles.

Hmmm, so a pin-up guy, you're saying? Ian McShane's Wikipedia entry posted:Even before Lovejoy, McShane was a pin-up as a result of appearances in television series, such as Wuthering Heights (1967, as Heathcliff), If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium (1969, as Charlie), Jesus of Nazareth (1977, as Judas Iscariot), and Disraeli (1978)—as well as films like Sky West and Crooked (1965) and Battle of Britain (1969).

Maybe it's because I marathoned through that season in one sitting, but Moon wasn't that grating to me. Maybe because that episode about the trees took its place as "worst episode this season" too quickly. Blegh.

With Moon, it's worse in retrospect because now you know exactly what the writer was going for with that episode, thanks to the Zygons. I think. Moon's message is just so goddamn muddled and confused I'm still not sure what it was about. Regardless, there is a pattern with this man's writing. It is not a good pattern.

I'm very glad I wasn't the only one who thought this (I didn't like it) Like echoplex pondered a while back, it is fun to think of Doctor Who's sets/props/wardrobes people getting the same kind of budget as the Harry Potter films at least.

I'm not going to link it, but did anyone else see that GQ article about who should take over for Capaldi and "save the series", written by someone who apparently has neither watched nor ever enjoyed Doctor Who in any form? The one which posted stuff like "lolololo" at the suggestion that anyone other than a handsome young white guy could play the role?

Is that the one where they were under the delusion that Doctor Who had ever been about serious sci-fi when it wasn't written by Christopher H. Bidmead?

I'd like it to be Tamsin Greig, especailly if she ended up alongside Gomez again. Can't deny that I'd loving love Idris Elba to do it, I mean all those coats he wore in Luther were practically the costume. Drop the gawky autism Doctor for a bit and actually have some fun. Obviously neither of these things will ever happen. echoplex fucked around with this message at 00:26 on Feb 3, 2017 |

Ah yes, the one that I believe described Chris Chibnall as a "prestige" writer and offhandedly mentioned that he had written for the show before without describing any of his episodes.

Elba would be a dream come true but yeah, I think his career has taken off well beyond the point that he'd consider doing it. Neil Cross did write a couple of episodes for Who that I really liked though. But I do recall reception for them was mixed here, especially for Rings of Akhaten (I loving love Rings of Akhaten)

Burkion posted:Quit I know it's probably not the case, but seeing Stephen Moffat's name on The Zygon Inversion and the sudden swing back towards more conventional Dr Who instead of tone-deaf hate-speech made it feel like he saw what Harness had done for Invasion far far too late to fix it and was trying very hard to pull that story out of a nosedive. But seriously, please stop giving Peter Harness work.
