I really like the fifth doctor recommendations.

Open Source Idiom posted:The inclusion of Four To Doomsday was a bit of a headscratched, honestly. It's not particularly bad, but I'd have recommended something like Kinda. I would say its one of if not the worst Fifth Doctor Story. The racism, the Adric, the ethnic dancing. The whole thing is so so bad. The only good thing is the amazing spacesuit the Doctor uses.

Blasphemeral posted:Correction: We have a single fruitcake. Each year, the family that has it passes it to their least-favorite person or family. It's like the ultimate shame to be the one to receive the fruitcake on Christmas. If you do not have the fruitcake, you have a yankee swap with the sole purpose of making someone cry.

I still think my favorite scene of the early seasons is when Sarah Jane discovers the TARDIS. It is just perfect. I am also pretty sure that its the first time they went yep gently caress it its the same show. They had injokes in season one that it was the same show, like the Cyberman head in Dalek, but that could have just been taken like when you see the old cylons in Battlestar - something cool for the fans. On that note I have seen so much classic Doctor Who and TOS Star Trek is my favorite version, but I could not get the pilot of the original BSG. It was just bad, also that loving monkey/dog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAszjUxMZkE bobkatt013 fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Feb 21, 2014 |

Bicyclops posted:The only acceptable decades-spanning plot is the one in which the Doctor returns to Earth in the distant future just before it is about to explode for whatever reason it's exploding this time and says "Hey, Suse, remember when I said I would be back? Well, here I am! How's tricks with the boyfriend?" and then the shot zooms out and he's talking to a skeleton. Only if he makes it talk back using the skull as a puppet.

CobiWann posted:So we painted the kiddo’s new room this weekend – walls are a horrendous bright Twinkie yellow, but the bedroom door and the closet door are TARDIS blue, and we have a sticker set to put the various signs and St. John’s emblem on to make the bedroom door itself look like the front entrance to the TARDIS. I'll put up some snaps once it's done this weekend or next... Be the best and teach him about why you should always trust cops/toys/plastic chairs and show him Terror of the Autons. While he is watching it stick a plastic chair in his room. You could also get him a gold math star! bobkatt013 fucked around with this message at 15:52 on Feb 26, 2014 |

Bicyclops posted:These are the ones that get to me the most, I think. I think Minuet in Hell is absolutely grating on the ears, but you can tell they were earnestly trying something different. It can at least be funny (the Brig narrating into his computer slowly as he types for wayyyy too long got me laughing in a "what were they even thinking?" kind of way). Red Dawn feels like they weren't even trying. Another reason Minuet in Hell is so hated is due to them wasting the Brig.

Dr. Gene Dango MD posted:Are they honestly going to reference that? I don't wanna sound like a hater but I found that scene (and the entire "Clara all over the doctors timeline" thing) awful. It's turning the entire classic series into a Moffat Metaplot. And it doesn't make any sense anyway! They said in the episode that he never saw her, she was just able to stop the GI plans from behind the scenes. The only time he saw her was 1 and 11.

thexerox123 posted:How does him not seeing her most of the time make it not count as a metaplot, though? That she introduced him to the Tardis is just that one moment. It does not add or subtract anything. With Metaplot I think of things that he will try to tie together, and that she was the puppet master behind the events. I see her adventures as sidestories that all involve her dying. bobkatt013 fucked around with this message at 17:31 on Feb 27, 2014 |

Dr. Gene Dango MD posted:How did this fragmented women stop the Great Intelligence? Like, that guys a genius. And she did it every time? Like hundreds of times? Then that just means the great Intelligence isn't that big of a threat. He's already killed himself to do this, and he can't shoot the Doctor or at least say hi? It was dangrous for anyone other than the Doctor. I mean the way that she saves the Doctor is small things that he does not drown. It was small things like that.

Emerson Cod posted:I'm very excited that they did this survey. It shows that they're looking to move away from the current paradigm and may start doing audios for the new series or even Star Trek. I agree, a Voyager series done with an actual arc and talented writers would be amazing. I know a lot of this is all just to get an idea of public opinion and some of the properties are probably not something they could get, but if they did even a couple of the cooler things they're asking about, it would be awesome. I would fear Voyager audios since Star Trek EU is a clusterfuck of awful ideas. I just hope that its the same ship with a diffrent crew.

MattD1zzl3 posted:It would be a shame to not recognize a reboot making a 10 year run because we wanted it to be an unbroken continuation of the original so badly. I don't like old who or audios anything like as much as the new show, and i think it deserves its own respect independent of the old stuff But the 50th was already that. The stars were from the new series, and the only old Doctor that appeared in new footage was Tom Baker.

After The War posted:Next Generation and Deep Space Nine are still the gold standards of television revival, and probably the closest to Doctor Who in terms of new fan comfort vs. classic references. We can argue at what point the franchise went to poo poo, but we can all agree it was years and years after they got it back off the ground. TNG was not that great in the first season, and after a disastrous episode they did not mention the original series until the third.

Gaz-L posted:I actually can't think of an episode in S1 of TNG that I'd call good. Acceptable, maybe. Even enjoyably camp or so-bad-it's-good. But the show didn't even learn how to be actually decent until season 2, and even then it feels more by accident until they threw Maurice Hurley out on his rear end. Conspiracy was good.

Dumb rule is dumb and spoiled me on a big reveal that i had with the last two doctor regenerations. Its not like it was announced on TV Capaldi's casting was revealed on 4 August during a live broadcast on BBC One, titled Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor. The live show was watched by an average of 6.27 million in the UK, and was also simulcast in the United States, Canada and Australia. It was also so well known that he appeared on the 50th.
