The_Doctor posted:Oh good lord, I'd forgotten that that existed. The early 2000s were a weird period. Lots of Who-faces in it, I see. Tennant, Gatiss, Steve Pemberton and Charles Dance were in the first episode. Crikey. Two Doctors, Mycroft Holmes, and Tywin Lannister/The Patrician. Wait, why hasn't Charles Dance been in Who yet? Charles Dance doesn't really have the slight touch of insanity needed to be the Master. He makes a brilliant Patrician though, and I hope he reprises the role at some point.

Looks like the Master's about to drop the Mic. Truly he is the sickest Master of rap in all time and space.

2house2fly posted:Red phone boxes aren't obsolete, in the sense that there's a bunch of them around still. I was briefly convinced that the one at the end of Dark Water was a Tardis when someone said there isn't actually a red phone box there in real life, because putting a red phone box into a scene for no reason is the action of a madman. I like to think Missy enters it Get Smart-style - Stand in the booth, dial, drop into the TARDIS.

Jerusalem posted:I was super-excited for Season 8 and Capaldi, and I was horrified at how bad I found much of the opening half of Deep Breath. But then it gets good, REALLY good. Then it gets even better, then it gets amazing! And though this should really be a mark against it, in hindsight the scene with Missy is incredible because now we have all the context for who she is, what she's like. Season 8 on the whole is really good, except for Forest of the Night. That one's just a trainwreck of terrible.

Jerusalem posted:I was really pleased overall with season 8, but yeah holy poo poo did Forest stand out as particularly terrible. Doctor Who and the Space Spiders was pretty poor too, but everything else was good to excellent. Kill the Moon was at least entertainingly bad. Forest of the Night is just outright bad, with a pretty goddamn awful message to boot.

Bicyclops posted:The Christmas Carol episode is good. I was actually a little sad about the fake-out, because Clara turning out to be old and enjoying her last Christmas with the Doctor really would've been a great ending for her. Not to say she's been a bad companion, just that it would've been a really good surprise ending on its own. I did like the Doctor muttering on about how he can't tell if she's old or not  .

Spatula City posted:The Clara: impossible girl thing was conceptually interesting but it didn't really work. I guess you could see it as a metaphor for how guys tend to treat women as these mysterious puzzles that need to be solved when they're actually just people. I think the only way it could've worked is if she kept getting offed every week and the Doctor just ran into a local version of her wherever he went.

Martytoof posted:OK so I just watched Listen and it's the first episode of Doctor Who that has completely lost me. I just couldn't follow it at all after the halfway mark. I mean I THINK I get it, but then I have no idea what the whole part about the ship at the end of time was all about, and what was opening the airlock. How did Clara end up at the barn? I am just so Telepathic interface. Stick your hands in the TARDIS's gooey bits and think really hard about where you need to go. It's not normally used, because it overrides a shitload of safety features or something. Hence why it managed to get to Gallifrey.

2house2fly posted:The Farthing Wood cartoon got painfully neutered as it went on. When it got to adapting the final novel where the park gets attacked by an army of rats the rat characters were all cute buffoons They probably had to do that to stop carving deep emotional scars in the children of at least two nations every Saturday morning.

Wheat Loaf posted:I'm curious whether you were happy because Adric was dead or because "Earthshock" was over. At the very least it goes out with a bang. Jerusalem posted:Yeah I agree, the first half of Deep Breath had me genuinely concerned, but by the back half of that episode I was relieved. Then the season (with the exception of Forest of the Dead and Doctor Who and the Space Spiders) turned out to be very good with a bunch of good to exceptional episodes and some absolutely stand out moments. The reveal of who Missy was is handled incredibly, and Capaldi and Gomez just loving knock it out of the park with their performances. Michelle Gomez is so good as the Mistress, because she's managed to pull off that subtle kind of gleeful madness where you don't know what she's going to do next without it descending into full-blown lolrandom looney toons. Having her restrained just makes you wonder for how long, and once she's freed you know it's gonna be something bad, but not what exactly.

Diabolik900 posted:All Masters involved must simultaneously betray each other. I like the idea of it being a Doctor-lite story, simply because he knows the best solution is just to take a step back and wait until the knives are in everyone's collective backs before dealing with the last one. Jerusalem posted:I've always said, if there was ever a multi-Master story, the younger one would have to somehow come out on top, much to everybody's confusion. Simple; he knew he'd have to take himself on one day and erased his own memory after setting his diabolical self-sabotaging scheme in motion! The youngest one still knows what'll happen, but the oldest won't!

thexerox123 posted:Yeah, I don't think Missy is a spoiler, but Clara still being there kind of is, and Danny being conspicuously absent might be as well. Roger Delgado manages four inescapable deaths a week. Being completely vaporized would stop him for all of an hour or two before he'd be brushing the dust of his coat and runningoff back to his disguised TARDIS while cackling like a loon.

Rochallor posted:All of Seven's run is really of remarkable quality. The only story that's actually, outright, not good is Time and the Rani, and even that's still better than like half of Six's episodes. Four words; Delta and the Bannermen.

Dr. Gene Dango MD posted:This is great, thanks for posting. I think this is cooler than the blob in a case, but who knows what the authors intended while the serials were being written. It's a cool design, but I think blob-in-a-tank is actually better. Considering they're not exactly big on fine manipulation with just a suction cup, I reckon it makes sense that the Dalek shell's as simple as plug-and-play rather than something fully-integrated.
