Look, I just want Michelle Gomez in a starring role as a chaotic neutral space wizard and I don't care what tortured story logic is necessary to make it happen.

It's too bad Anthony Ainley is dead, because otherwise, they could have him come back saying, "Ah, I'd thought the Cybermen had killed you and your worthless companion back on that spaceship, Doctor" and when the Doctor said "Didn't you regenerate at least twice and kill both regenerations definitively, forever?" the Master would just shrug.

I just want The 5 Masters so that Missy and Simm can be snarky while Eric Roberts continually fucks up all their schemes in his ultra-90s leather trench coat.

Decius posted:The problem for me is, that it had 4 great episodes I really enjoyed and then a few average ones to finish the series that were too long and then a really bad series 2. And apparently another series I haven't watched. Which overall doesn't fill me with any confidence. The third series of Broadchurch was really good.

Stabbatical posted:Nope. I firmly believe the Master (Gomez or otherwise) would have shown up again even if Moffat was still the showrunner. Nobody believes the Master is dead. Gordon Shumway posted:The third series of Broadchurch was really good. I still need to watch it, I've heard really good things about it but I still felt burned from the ludicrous court case in the second series.

Payndz posted:I just realised the irony of Capaldi's Doctor saying "Never be cruel... always try to be nice but never fail to be kind". The Doctor whose defining feature was insulting everyone he met, even people he was helping. Fixed. The 'but' is important. Twelve could be a dick (though, as noted, he mellows after Death In Heaven. Guitar and shades Twelve is by far the version that seems to be the definitive one) but he always tried to help.

remusclaw posted:This is a show that had a war that ended in double genocide and resulted in neither race being actually dead. How many times have the Daleks been wiped out by now? I’m pretty sure it’s one of the recurring jokes about them, like not being able to navigate stairs.

Mameluke posted:Eric Roberts is a delightful ham and it's a shame there's never been a push to have him reprise his role on the TV show. Isn’t this because Fox owns the rights to the TV movie and they won’t let the BBC use any creative content from it? It’s one of the reasons we’ve never seen or heard about Grace Halloway as a former Companion during the revival and why anytime Eight does show up in archive footage it’s from The Night of the Doctor.

I'm going off the below paragraph from the TARDIS wiki. You're right about the comics (I forgot about them) but with regards to Eric Roberts' Master... quote:Due to FOX's stringent protection over original characters & content, they have repeatedly prohibited the characters of Grace Holloway, Eric Roberts's portrayal of the Master, and Chang Lee (among others) from reappearing in the revival series. Thus, this story marks their only appearances in the series proper (however a photograph of Grace is included among those of other companions in TV: The Day of the Doctor, though only a portion of the photo is visible on screen (it is next to that of the Brigadier). As of 2016, Big Finish Productions has been unable to obtain the audio drama rights to Grace and Chang Lee (though the actors have performed other roles for the company). There appears to be no prohibition on Grace appearing in comics form, however, as she appeared several times in the Doctor Who Magazine comic strip and was featured in IDW's Prisoners of Time comic miniseries.

Not directly linked to Doctor Who but Big Finish are adapting my favourite show Callan. https://www.bigfinish.com/news/v/callan-returns-after-50-years I'm very excited about this. The original cast can't be replaced but I look forward to seeing what they can do. Sad King Billy fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Jan 3, 2018 |

Speaking of Masters, James Dreyfus is surprisingly actually really good in the First Doctor Adventures. Has a smooth, sinister Delgado quality to him.

Timby posted:In fairness, the "Time War" was a pretty ropey concept in the first place, almost as half-baked as the "Temporal Cold War" in Star Trek Enterprise. The two are completely incomparable; the Time War was, and always was, largely a method to deliberately step away from existing continuity while keeping the bits that they liked and could be drip fed to the audience. I'd say it's probably RTD's best idea. The Temporal Cold War was an underwhelming arc.

To the show's credit he at least acknowledged it, he complained in Daleks In Manhattan that the Time Lords got completely wiped out but the Daleks keep coming back. I'm not a huge fan of the 50th's "daleks blowing each other up in their own crossfire" resolution, but it does at least make their frequent post-Time-War appearances more understandable

So as you may or may not know, Candy Jar books have been putting out a series of books about the Brig before he was the Brig. So how does this all tie into Capaldi's last ep? https://twitter.com/StephenNDBB/status/948672605137113088
