I have no reason not to think Jodie Whittaker won't do an excellent job, but man I wish Capaldi could've done at least one more year. Big Finish is great and all, but we were finally done with all the bullshit and he was settled into the character and fabulous. Another season of Bill would have been wonderful too. And now I'm even going to miss John Simm! He finally gets a few scripts that aren't 100% ham and shows that his Master is every bit as dangerous and evil as the rest of them. I get why they hit the reset button between showrunners, but there are ways that it doesn't serve the show. Sure, inheriting the previous occupant's dirty laundry is more challenging, but it isn't unfair (they did it in the old series all the time), and it lets the show grow more organically. Missy's arc had at least one more year in it, and the Doctor/Bill relationship, as well as Bill herself, deserved more time. (Nardole was great, but I imagine he'd leave before Bill.) Meanwhile, the crew behind the camera could feel out the show while the acting provided continuity. Now everyone's new and making mistakes all at once. Oh well, water under the bridge, and like I said, Jodi Whittaker deserves to be judged on her own merits, to say nothing of Chibnall. Just seems a shame to break up the gang just as it was really starting to breathe. I hope she gets more than 1 year introduction, 1 year of "Change is coming!" and 1 year to just be the Doctor.

Still genuinely my favourite scene in the whole series. You initially think it's awful. Then you realise the music is diegetic, and it's the Master keeping himself entertained, and just enjoying the gently caress out of having made the Doctor (and the whole world) his own personal bitch. Then it becomes spectacular.

I would probably describe a lot of season 3 Master as having a ridiculous and hilarious idea, pulling it off, and absolutely LOVING it. And while it's a very different tone and scale, that's also what he's doing in World Enough and Time.

I really like the scene in End of Time part 1 where he gets captured by that guy and his daughter. I mean the episode is terrible, but the Master up to that point doesn't even know that their machine exists. So he literally sees it, comes up with a plan on the spot, goes 'gently caress it, that'll do', and then wipes out the human race, laughing like an utter maniac the whole time.

It's really a shame that The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe is so bad, because it has such a good beginning, with the Doctor showing the kids around the house with the lemonade faucet and everything. The moment when he gets to the stairs, grumpily discovers that whatever he did to them is broken and says "We'll have to walk up" really kills me. e: also, I hadn't rewatched the show since seeing Black Books, so it's weird to know that both Tamsin Grieg and Bill Bailey have been in Doctor Who in roles that were kind of wasted on them. Is Dylan Moran going to show up as a Judoon or something? Bicyclops fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Jul 26, 2017 |

He really is just the Doctor but without any sense of morality and with the brakes completely off. Ten is constantly begging him to STOP and THINK and JUST CALM DOWN but wheeeee nah that ain't happening.

Something like this was bound to happen" was hilarious Jerusalem posted:Yeah, reminds me of my initial reaction to "HERE COMES THE DRONES!".

It almost works if you think he came up with the pun and worked the whole plan around it in the same way RTD basically wrote a whole plot around it.

And don't bother trotting out the "well that's how everyone uses it now so the meaning of the word has been changed" excuse. IT'S STILL WRONG.

Everyone is allowed to have their pet peeve about the evolution of language (mine is "itching" to describe "scatching"), but you must admit that it is your problem, and your pedantic correction of people who use it "incorrectly," is your problem and not theirs. That being said, it's fun being an etymology nerd sometimes and delighting when someone uses a word in its original "correct" context, that's cool, and good, and pure.

Also if someone has a grip like iron you can defeat them. Much like the Angels' true ability is to change their rules every episode, Magneto actually has power over similes and metaphors.

I liked Sound of Drums popping up because I really liked that Rogue Traders album when it first came out and it was neat having an Australian group's music playing in the show. Also Classic Doctors, New Monsters 2 is up for download. I'm pretty excited for it.
