The show has been consistently inconsistent about how much control a Time Lord has over there new appearance. Usually, there's no indication that they have any control, but then there are also counter-examples like Two being presented with several choices by the Time Lords, or Romana trying on different faces as if they were outfits before settling on a face she knew from a previous adventure (sounds familiar). That said, I don't think this episode was inconsistent with most regenerations. Any control he had over the new face seemed to be completely subconscious. He even said he doesn't know where the faces come from. His subconscious self is trying to tell his conscious self something, and he doesn't know what it is yet. I think it's perfectly believable that he's always had some amount of control subconsciously without him ever realizing it most of the time. As for the episode itself, I enjoyed it but didn't love it when I saw it at the New York event last week. Now after seeing it again, I realize that the big party atmosphere of seeing it at a big fan event must have predisposed me to liking it, because that was just not very good. It picked up for me once The Doctor seemed to lose his regeneration amnesia or whatever, and I think Capaldi and Coleman were great together, but the episode itself was still mediocre at best. MattD1zzl3 posted:Back in the late Tennent era I would always be shocked when I would finish an episode, come to the thread thrilled and ready to discuss how awesome the episode was, and everyone was panning it. This has continued constantly for the last half decade (I have never seen an episode of doctor who live I didn't enjoy) so it doesn't break my heart like it used to. It even pushed me into saying some dramatic things about live theater. This is generally me too, but sometimes on a second viewing I enjoy it a lot less, as was the case here. Maybe the lesson is that I should only watch things once. And finally, as for the opening titles, I could take or leave the visuals, but I love the new version of the theme music. My only complaint is they still don't include the middle eight.

Gough Suppressant posted:It's just bigger on the outside I know you're joking, but what bothers me most about the T-Rex is that it would be totally believable for this show to give some kind of handwavey explanation about how the TARDIS or something caused it to grow this size, but instead they had Vastra insist "No, most of them really were that big!"

Bicyclops posted:There's a lot to complain about it in this episode, including that the T-Rex doesn't really feel like it fits with the tone of the rest of the episode and probably should have been cut for story reasons, as well as the fact that the CG for the T-Rex is bad and also forced them to use a lot of green screen at the beginning that made everybody look weirdly out of place. I'd counter that if you're complaining about bad special effects, you're watching the wrong show. I don't care that they had a dinosaur that was too big. I care that they had someone call out the fact that it's too big, and instead of going with the kind of one-line, meaningless, pseudo-scientific explanation they use all the time on the show they went with "they were all like that". As you correctly pointed out though, the episode had plenty of more serious issues to complain about.

THE COAT is not symmetrical. Trying to flip the image would be problematic. EDIT: Oh you pointed that out already. I need to learn to reaad.

Spikeguy posted:Has the whole episode shown up online yet? Sadly I don't have cable and can't get it through the normal venues. And I don't really want to wait a year until it gets added to Netflix. You can buy it on iTunes, Amazon, or Google Play. If you want it for free, as far as I know the only legitimate way is through iPlayer.
