Oh my God, after weeks of starting it, getting to awful dialogue, pausing and going to sleep, I made it through the Rosa Parks episode. Never in my life have I experienced hands quite so hammy

If you haven't heard Big Finish's quite good adaptation of Russel "The" Davies' rather good pre-revival novel it is currently available for 4.99 and I think it's an interesting listen for fans of the show even if you're iffy on the New Adventures generally just for seeing the seeds RTD was planting before being able to bring the show back properlyWheat Loaf posted:I will be interested in seeing how Moffat and Gatiss's "Sherlock-style" Dracula show turns out. The trick here is to just listen to the Big Finish adaptation where Gatiss played Dracula and ignore whatever TV guff he and Moffat squeeze out.

Eh, it feels a little too clean and stereotypically 'futurey'. That's going to be to the 2010s (and 00s) what the kinda industrial beat-up tech is to the late 70s-80s. I prefer the new console room, because it's kind of unusual and hard to say 'belongs' to any particular era, including our own. Hell, if I were to make a comparison to anything, it feels like it'd be right at home in Jack Kirby art rather than anything from today.

The_Doctor posted:This one? Yeah, that thing looked really cool. I get the complaint that it's too clean, but I think cluttering it up a bit would have made for a better TARDIS than the one they're using. As for the episode this week, I thought it was fine, although it felt a bit rushed. Overall, I find that I care a little less about the high concept sci-fi stuff (the threat was basically Nibbler this episode, while the crew played a game of Space Alert in the background), but more about the characters. The idea of "pilot's heart," a medical condition that would prevent someone from doing the only thing they felt they were good at, held my attention more than the idea of a bomb on the ship. This was probably the weakest episode because the pregnancy stuff was just a huge whiff. I just had a baby three months ago, so if it was going to hit anyone emotionally, it would be me, and the whole thing felt like they were putting pressure on someone who wasn't ready to raise a baby to do it. It was still enjoyable, though. I just like watching Team TARDIS. I'm sad they're halfway through it already.

It really seemed like a massively low effort sideplot to give Graham and Ryan something to do. I wish they'd have dropped that and given them a task related in some way to the drama of the episode. Have them in the guts of the ship at a fuse box turning power on and off to lure nibbler to the bomb or something.

Yaz, the cop, gets the weapon and the GUARD role, so the boys get sent off to the caregiver role. I can see why they'd want to do that, but it would have been better if some more instrumental character were pregnant or needed care or whatever.

My roommate is watching Dark Water, and, you know, there's a lot to say about Season 8 and somewhat less that's complimentary, but quote:Do you think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference? is such a perfect line at such a perfect moment.

Jerusalem posted:It's more that everybody who adapts or produces new Sherlock Holmes eventually succumbs to the deep depression of knowing nothing they do will ever approach Jeremy Brett for quality. Yea, that is indeed the truth. It's always amazing when one actor can so define a given part that almost no-one and/or nothing can ever replace it. Even decades later i.e. any horror movie with Vincent Price in it... ;-) , or Derek Jacobi as Claudius. or...

I've always been into the way the console by itself can be used as a TARDIS, al la Inferno but as an actual location like the normal console room. You wouldn't even have to build a set, just stick it and a doorway or two in an open air location, like the middle of a field, or a forest or a cave. You could have a different location every episode, and you could do different weather conditions too. Alternately, the Rani's TARDIS from Time And The Rani is pretty sweet, at least in that black and white photo that pops up every so often. But I'd probably be weird and insist that the interior should only be shot in B&W. Basically really shake up the idea of the TARDIS's crazy interior.
