Finally watching the season and I'm glad it's pretty transparently anti-Orange. Not a bad season to binge watch.

Interesting. BF had previously stated that their Who license runs all the way up to Matt Smith's final ep. However, reading the new Vortex that's posted on line, Nick mentions that they've been in touch with Calpadi's agent about coming in. Apparently, however, Capaldi wants to take a break from being the Doctor for the time being. Nick also mentions that while Matt is extremely busy at the moment, it is something he may like to do later.

Capaldi deffo wants to take a break, he said so at the final panel at NYCC. I agree with that decision.

I'm guessing the deal is that they can basically use everything but the current Doctor, and now Capaldi's not the current Doctor anymore.

Yeah, I'd love to hear him in Big Finish but his last televised story isn't even a month old yet, I have no doubt he wants some space after the emotional weight of "Doctor... I let you go" after a lifetime of wanting the role.

Matt Smith may be eager to record audios but I'm not sure I'm eager to hear them.

The only downside to Matt Smith doing audios is that we don't get to see his physical performance.

Actors who are known for more physical performances tend to fail when they try pure voice acting. Willa Holland did pretty decent as Thea Queen in Arrow, but her voice acting as Aqua in KH Birth By Sleep suffered from sounding really flat. Similarly, Matt Smith loaned his voice to those terrible BBC Dr Who freeware Point and Clicks from a few years ago and sounded similarly dull. Hell, there was even that debacle with Destiny where they hired a Game of Thrones actor to be the tutorial robot and his performance was so bad they actually redubbed him. Voice Acting is a totally different skill to physically being the character so without a strong, distinctive voice the performance itself takes way more effort to make work. Some actors do fine with both, like Patrick Warburton, but it's rare for someone to be funny in both situations.

It's (in)arguable that Mark Hamil is a much better voice actor than he is a normal one though he used to be known better for his actual acting. Sylvester McCoy honestly had some of that himself- his early big Finish stuff isn't great. It took time for him to get ahold of things

Former DWM editors Clayton Hickman and Tom Silsbury are having a discussion on Twitter about Who and magazines and whatnot. Most shocking revelation? Apparently the heads of the BBC thought the Who revival was just a passing fad, but Torchwood? That was going to be the show that lasted https://twitter.com/stuart_manning/status/949799819039723520 Davros1 fucked around with this message at 02:36 on Jan 7, 2018 |

Apparently some at the BBC thought there was no way anyone could replace Tennant. Once again, it was RTD who had to convince them otherwise.

I just noticed my 'start from the beginning of the Revival to the newest Christmas Special' is going to hurt as I see Love and Monsters is next. I never seen this one, I just know it suppose to be really bad. How bad is it compared to some really awful stories from Buffy like Beer Bad.

Its not really bad as such, it's just a silly episode that's more overtly for kids and has a sex joke at the end which is in insanely poor taste.

The monster is naff, there's a pretty bad moment with Rose, and it ends of pretty much the worst thing the show has ever done but other than that it's actually mostly pretty fun I am the one-woman Love and Monsters Appreciation Society™

I've been doing a revival rewatch at the gym, and that's one of two episodes I've partially skipped over -- the other was Cold Blood.

The bad bits are loving dire but it's built around a pretty neat idea and when it's exploring that it's actually okay.

I already know about the alien from the episode since I randomly ran into it's wikipedia entry when they were talking about letting kids design the Monster of the Week. So far I been enjoying all the episodes I seen. I know there are some stinkers coming up soon, as the OP mentions Voyage of the Dead which I think is coming up very soon.

Voyage of the Damned shares its name with the true story of holocaust fleeing Jews being turned away by multiple countries, so it can never be anything but rated F.2house2fly posted:Its not really bad as such, it's just a silly episode that's more overtly for kids and has a sex joke at the end which is in insanely poor taste.

Finally watched Christmas special. Was not great except for the regeneration. I do note that one of the Doctor's titles was "The Shadow of the Valyard", so they aren't pretending that that never happened.

Hemingway To Go! posted:Finally watched Christmas special. Was not great except for the regeneration. What, is Moffat going to pretend an entire season of Doctor Who didn't happen, even by omission? He's made reference to one of the 1996 movie's more controversial remarks about the Doctor, it's not like he's going to say the Valeyard didn't exist.

Yeah, there's been at least one other time when someone was rattling off other names the Doctor would be known by and "the Valeyard" got thrown in with stuff like "the oncoming storm."

The other reference to the Valeyard was the Great Intelligence in Name Of The Doctor. I suppose since the Doctor isn't actually the Valeyard, the point of using it there was to imply Mr G Intelligence didn't know quite as much about the Doctor as he thought. Also someone somewhere outside the show (in an interview maybe? Or spinoff comic?) implied that the clone Doctor from Journey's End was the Valeyard
