I just saw The Mysterious Planet (or whatever). It actually isn't bad. Not incredible but not bad. Both groups of humans are well realized and the story handles a large number of characters well. Even in his later days Robert Holmes still had it to some degree. I didn't realize that Merdeen was the guy who played Duggan. It would've been better without the trial scenes. It might not have been a good idea to have the characters themselves calling the story irrelevant and saying they don't want to watch it.

Cover to Part One of DALEK UNIVERSE revealed! https://twitter.com/bigfinish/status/1313132472553660418?s=20 They don't list who Gatiss is playing, so it'll be interesting to see if he's playing his Unbound Master.

Just gotta' say that I often watch this video to make myself feel better and it reminds me that aside from The Christmas Invasion, The Day of the Doctor is the first Doctor Who I ever saw, and it was so loving good I went back to Rose and watched all of the rest of the modern stuff and my life has been better for it to the point of coming out as trans when 12 regenerated into 13. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e71KWwE5Fk

Still blows me away every so often just how loving good Day of the Doctor was. Moffat had a lot of faults but I am so, so glad the 50th Anniversary celebrations were under his watch. Gave us Night of the Doctor too. "I'm a Doctor... but not the one you were expecting."

I still think that, for all his faults, Moffat is the guy you wanted for the 50th anniversary. You wanted far-reaching nostalgic respect, and a willingness to swing for the fences in a way that feels like it matters. He's the only guy that would've both nailed the War Doctor to give him the gravitas he needs, and brought in something like the Zygons to both provide classic series charm and a smaller problem for Ten and Eleven to bounce off of without it hindering the later seriousness. I can picture an R.T.D. Day of the Doctor, and while he probably does good with the War Doctor, I don't think he'd have done well mixing it with the Zygon's side of it all--nor would he have gone with something like the Zygons, I think. Chibnall probably would've done the lighter side of it fairly well, but wouldn't have found a way to land the War Doctor part.

Neither of Chibnall or RTD would have invented the War Doctor. Rusty’s anniversary special would have looked like Journey’s End turned up to 12, the console room overflowing with past Doctors and companions. Chibnall’s? gently caress knows. Some insipid affair that comes across as hollow and somehow like he’s never really seen the show before.

RTD's 50th would have made no sense at all, not stood up to even the slightest introspection at all... but goddamn it would have been a loving blast to watch in the moment, and even after realizing how nonsensical it was I would still have extremely fond memories of it and enjoy watching it again

One of my favorite parts of Day of the Doctor is how the War Doctor sort of embodies and original series fan who is not entirely comfortable with NuWho. For instance, when Ten and Elizabeth get married, and they kiss: War Doctor: Is there a lot of this in the future? Eleven: It does start to happen, yes. John Hurt might have only gotten to play the Doctor once (on TV at least), but he made it count. By the way, I believe this thread has seen the First Question fan video, which rules. Well, it's been updated, so now it has clips from Twelve and Thirteen, and it's still a great little piece of work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uP5aWvcd7I

I dislike Moffat's run on the show immensely (I gave up on the show partway through his run), but I'll freely admit that he did a great job on the 50th anniversary stuff. The special was just the right amount of nostalgic fanwank/fanservice, and I loved that he did a webisode solely so he could get the 8th Doctor's regeneration finally filmed. And he did say something that I agree made a lot of sense: he couldn't really see Paul McGann's handsome, dashing Doctor being the one to kill off both the Daleks and his own people during the Time War, and when Eccleston declined to participate, he started thinking about the Doctor having a "lost" regeneration, and that set the wheels in motion for Hurt's War Doctor (who was great). So I will absolutely give Moffat all the credit he deserves for that concept and how he handled the show's 50th anniversary.

The best thing was Moffat telling a story about Hurt continually coming up to him asking "So I'm officially the Doctor now? I can keep calling myself the Doctor?" If Moffat had a plan to write the War Doctor out, I wouldn't be surprised if he changed his mind after that. BBC's really going all in on this TIME LORD VICTORIOUS thing. They're releasing a Blu-Ray of classic stories saying they tie into the storyline: https://twitter.com/TheCyberdevil/status/1313404019751161856?s=20 And more from BF https://twitter.com/bigfinish/status/1313494378799865858?s=20

The Time Lord Victorious stuff irks me since it seems to mostly be about Tennant, who left the role over 10 years ago as opposed to the current Doctor. It almost feels like they’re fuelling the Not My Doctor idiots by ignoring Jodie entirely. I’m not sure whether this was in development pre-COVID, but with the series at an uncertain standpoint with no one knowing when we will get anything new after the Christmas special it seems like deliberate knock at the current tram.

There is some comic coming out that's a 10/13 crossover (with the Sea Devils) but I don't know if it's part of the Victorious line.

Nobody seems to quite understand what Timelord Victorious is and I'm certainly not going to be bothered to learn. I'm almost a decade behind on Big Finish and by the time I get to this, my brain will be too addled to understand it no matter what.

What I don't get about it is the glaring absence of War, especially since it seems so heavily about 8,9, and 10. If it's supposed to be so omni-channel and cross-format, surely even with the loss of John Hurt they could have done a comic or novel. It would be like doing a story about the 4th Doctor, crossing over with just 1 and 3 only, for no discerable reason.

I would prefer that the War Doctor be used as little as possible, really. Given that he regenerates immediately after the end of DotD, there's not a lot of times for him to pop up and on those occasions he's probably in an even worse state than he is in DotD. The novels and four-part audio stories are fine continuity speaking, I guess, even if I'm conceptually opposed to them, but him getting invited to a bunch of multi-Doctor stories is rather silly.

Yeah, I feel like the War Doc is best left where he is now. It was one thing when we actually had John Hurt around to play the Doctor in audios set during the war itself, and Day itself was obviously a special case, but him interacting with other Doctors after that feels like it would kind of go against the "mythologising" that those that come after him have been doing prior to that point (which they then learn in Day was wrong and the result of misunderstood trauma and stuff) Though I can't lie and say that if Hurt was still with us I wouldn't love a one off with him and McGann together

Give me an animated season 6b, gives me animated seasons of the BF rehabilitated Six, give me animated Eight, etc.. Animation is now a core part of the First and Second Doctor’s seasons, might as well start expanding it to the others too to help expand on areas that aren’t as feasible any more in live action. And I know BF was made for this, but let’s be honest, with the growth of streaming, visual media is more wide reaching and appealing for most potential new fans.

I picture like... Myst series puzzle solving in between some solid stealth mechanics and lots of running and dodging, but no traditional combat. Maybe there's a leveling tree that does things like powers up the sonic to reveal more secrets or helps with hiding, and you can collect things, Arkham style, that talk about the Who rogues gallery. A multi-Doctor story with as many as are willing lending their voices, you're a one-off companion, they list the chapters as episodes with cliffhangers, I don't know, I have lots of ideas, BBC, please consider it.
