Astroman posted:As someone who has like 40 or so Target books, I would pay cash money for those. Especially if someone did a Target writing style novelization of the modern episodes. (ie written by Terrance Dicks) That was a project we had here for a little while. Modern adventures rewritten with classic Doctors in the Target style. I was doing Silence in the Library with Seven/Ace. It died a quiet death.

Bicyclops posted:He has lots of adventures defending the box from bad guys during those 2000 years, soon to be featured in his Big Finish spin-off when they obtain their new license. The downside is that his 2000 years were essentially set in what is our normal humdrum alien-free universe, so they'd be straight historicals. That said, how the hell did pre-20th century sailors in that universe navigate without stars?

So Gary Oldman (and a few other actors including Willem Dafoe [who looks like the most evil mofo EVER]) did a Prada photoshoot in some very Victorian styled clothing back in 2012. I can't help but think he looks like a younger War Doctor in these.   I am the Master, and you will obey me...

Jsor posted:I honestly had no clue who John Hurt was before everyone was gabbing about him for Who. I still don't really know. I look at his filmography and I've seen him a couple of times I guess. But mostly because of ancillary roles like "narrator in the Tigger movie" or "the wand shop dude in the first Harry Potter movie". Hurt's been in some utterly fantastic films, which you should check out. Also, you've never seen Alien?

I remember them going out on BBC Radio 4 making me think they were legit BBC Radio productions. Also, while they would definitely ask Eccleston first, he would almost certainly decline. In which case would getting Stephen Beckett to do his Richard III voice be such a horrible thing? The_Doctor fucked around with this message at 10:03 on May 4, 2015 |

Wheat Loaf posted:I am pretty sure Mark Millar also wrote a comic where a supervillain obtains reality warping powers, and defeats one of his enemies by going backwards in time and molesting them when they were a child. Wasn't that in The Authority? A previous Doctor got his powers back and went back in time to the Engineer's childhood during the middle of a fight and became her childhood doctor.

I reasoned that the Master's TARDIS was somehow wrapped around the inside of St. Paul's cathedral, because the 3C building was clearly not the same place.

Davros1 posted:Found this interesting. Reading DWM's "The Fact of Fiction" on "Rose" in DWM 485, RTD clarifies something that many people have argued about since it aired in 2005, and it's no, the Doctor had not just regenerated. Pfft, death of the author. Nine wakes up on the floor of the TARDIS console room, decides he needs a change of clothing. As he's doing so, pictures of this blonde girl float through his head like a fading dream. "Cinder...? No, someone else." He plugs himself into the telepathic circuits to find out who she was and the TARDIS zooms to Henrik's department store. But what's this? A Nestene signal here too? Better investigate that first...

Reading through the Toxx/Occ thread is amazing. I've found myself rewatching a few episodes as he's reviewed them, and appreciating them all over again. Just rewatched Vampires of Venice and I've found I enjoyed it a hell of a lot more than I did on broadcast. It's a genuinely good episodes. 5 Rorys out of 5.
