Not sure I've seen this rumor. Any details, or just "Jodie might come back"?

Matinee posted:Basically, at one point in The Giggle, Mel said, amid a bunch of hacking technobabble, "we're using Triad", and there's been fan location reports, thought to be from the finale filming block, of a company called "Triad Technology". There's some in-world advertising, and I gather there's at least some scenes set at their headquarters. Interesting. How many classic series villains or things came in threes? Gods of Ragnarok? Rassilon/Omega/Other (LOOOOOMS)? The trilogic game from the original Toymaker serial? I guess you can't read too much into the word itself at this time, like who would have guessed what "Bad Wolf" or "Saxon" ultimately signified just from those words alone?

"mister Saxon" is an anagram for "master no six" so people worked that one out pretty quick

RTD always insisted that was a complete coincidence, though it's possible by then he was just an unthinking vessel for the will of Doctor Who

Hopefully they just straight up ditch the old Sea Devil voices and go with something else. I assume it's gonna be some sort of global warming thing, which RTD says he's fairly interested in, but I've heard his Dark Season play about that, the one from last year, and it was not good.

If and a big if they end up doing a sea devil spin off I'm curious what the demographic they'll be aiming for.

I feel like everyone is kind of jumping into this being about the Sea Devils a little heavily. It's the UNIT spin-off that's long been rumored, just that the overarching conflict is between UNIT and the Sea Devils. My understanding, from reading all the leaks I can find, is that it's got a couple of standalone eps about UNIT fighting other threats, but with the main plot of the season being about the Sea Devils.

It would actually feel a pretty weird to do a whole spinoff about the Sea Devils and not also heavily involve at least the Silurians. This still feels like Torchwood 2.0 to me, but we don't have any real information on it, so who knows?

The word I heard is that it's called "The War Between the Land and Sea". Who's to say that UNIT necessarily represent the land in that equation? Would be wild if it's about Silurians and Sea Devils getting in a fight and UNIT trying to protect humanity from the crossfire.

Was a lot more excited about the Sea Devils before their recent turn with 13. That episode was apparently a bit of a disaster production wise, and this makes it seem like someone in the BBC is bound and determined to make the money they spent on those costumes worthwhile finally. lol

In case anyone hasn't read about it yet, apparently Millie Gibson's character is being written out of DW midway through the next season, and is expected to only appear in three or four episodes (one of which is a standalone episode that will serve as her farewell). A new companion played by Varada Sethu is expected to be introduced. RTD reportedly made the decision shortly after filming wrapped on the first season of the new series. Given the circumstances of Eccleston's departure after only one season under RTD, I'm (quite possibly mistakenly) getting the old "more to this than meets the eye" kinda feeling.

Yeah, the rumour mill's been that she's difficult to work with -- diva behaviour is the term I ran into. I didn't put much stock in it, and I dunno if I put any more into it gven that it appears she's leaving now. One and a half seasons is pretty typical of RTD anyway.

Oh yeah nah "diva" is just old fashioned code for "difficult" which is classic weasel word bullshit that gets slung at women on sets. Like I said, I put no stock in that crap.

Yeah. Amy, Rory, and Clara kind of skewed the results a touch, but most companions stick around for a season or so then meander off to whatever horrible fate the writers give them (Poor Martha having to marry Mickey)

Do you reckon that relationship would have lasted? Tbh I completely lose track of the character towards the end of season two, all his problems magically vanish off-screen and he maybe shacks up with that random dude and eh?

Ncutti just posted an Instagram story calling Millies "my little Gemini heart". He's big into astrology, hence the Gemini thing. No mention of anything else but the timing must be deliberate. Honestly, if there's been behind the scene problems I'd put them firmly at the production offices feet. It's a recurring pattern for them to have HR issues and Millie might only be 18 going on 19 during filming but she also came from soaps. Corrie might not be as demanding as Doctor Who in lots of ways but I guarantee its a great proving ground to stamp out "diva" behaviour.

Given that all the news stories I've seen so far refer to her being "dropped" or "axed", and that RTD reportedly made the decision after filming on the season was completed, going to guess that it's likely not a case of her just deciding to move on after a season.

Nah, I bet they're teeing her up for the spin off. She's been filming scenes with Jenna Redgrave, maybe as a UNIT recruit of some kind. Feels like the kind of thing that RTD almost did with Martha over on Torchwood.

I wanted to clarify that, as I think some might have gotten the impression that she'll be in Gatwa's first season and part of his second season, which does not appear to be the case, and that's why I don't think it's a situation comparable to Freema Agyeman or Pearl Mackie, or any of the classic series companions who only did a single season on the show. will be in the 2025 series.  Still doesn't explain why they didn't just announce it, though

She won't be in Gatwa's second season at all and won't be in the Xmas special that airs this year. This is wrong, the reports talk about the 2025 season.

I'm still not inclined to give RTD or the BBC the benefit of the doubt, but after having my misunderstanding cleared up, I'd agree that the reasons for her departure are likely less shady than I'd first thought.

Dabir posted:Tabloids are selling rage, they're gonna use loaded language like that no matter the truth. Where I goofed up was misunderstanding/misreading and thinking the story was that she was only in five episodes, total, which definitely seemed a bit  to me. Once I'd had that cleared up (that she's actually in a full season and a half, not just half a season total), it made a lot more sense.
