Wonder if they're talking a cue from Outlander and using the Black Sails sets/boats

I'd be down with that. Doctor Who's gotta stay fresh! If people don't take to a seemingly more serialized season of the show then Whittaker's second season will just be travel as usual.

The thing that sucks about that leaked idea is that she'll have different personalities in each incarnation, meaning we'll have no idea what her character is actually supposed to be. EDIT: \/ I know. Just explaining why the idea was terrible. Mokinokaro fucked around with this message at 15:38 on Jan 15, 2018 |

Riptor posted:Oh god not something new and interesting The problem isn't that it's new, it's that it would be loving stupid. She's the first female Doctor. Taking her and splitting her into three distinct personalities and the getting rid of all three at the end of the season to make her whole again, which would essentially be a brand new character is dumb.

Why would they be three different characters, rather than the same one in three different situations?

That's what the "leak" said. The Doctor splits in three different versions of herself in three different timelines. I think it's rather obvious that isn't the case by now, though we might see the Doctor stuck on Earth for a very long time, which might be interesting.

But it's not "the West", the White House, or Manhattan, so it can't be the U.S. in a Doctor Who story. Though if it is, I can't wait to hear the wonderful American accents this show has produced.

I finally gave in and watched the recorded (PVR) Christmas episode. <sigh> what a dreary, dreadful, non-event of an episode. There was literally nothing in this episode to recommend to either a dedicated who fan or casual observer. The final Christmas Carol armistice seemed rather tacked-on "just to make it a Christmas episode" kind of thing. To me, the whole episode just reeked of "phoning it in". No so much the actors, though nothing really was outstanding in that dept, but the writing was so dreadfully mundane. I do agree with many who think the writing of the first doctor was quite extraordinarily "out of character". I managed to watch all of the 1st doctor episodes that were available for rebroadcast long ago (the first time they covered ALL the doctors up to 8 on PBS - Boston). This actor was not portraying anything close to the first doctor. He was portraying a caricature of the 1st doctor as seen by some fanboy with some bizarre chauvinist axe to grind. Weird and very unsettling. As for the new doctor... we'll have to wait and see. I have such low expectations of Chibnal as literally *anything* that I'm almost optimistic that there might be a glimmer of OK in next season. Time will tell.

Looks that way, the bus matches:  This could get offensive real fast if it falls into a "Doctor inspired Rosa" / white savior trope, or if aliens / monsters were somehow involved.

So I usually find these threads to be a little too negative, some of the predicted total disasters of episodes I've found to be pretty decent. This on the other hand, is a very loving bad idea and I can't think of a way they could pull this off. Turn left for god's sake.
