Yeah, I was more excited to see the Shadow Proclamation again - but then RTDs bullshit always appealed to me more than Moffat's does.

2house2fly posted:The Tardis got blown up as well, and it looked more convincing than in Journey's End. No it didn't. In Journey's end the entire interior was set alight, they blew out the windows on a practical model and everyone had time to react as the TARDIS was destroyed. Here, a single large gun shot it once and the screen faded to white with a Video CoPilot effect explosion, no one reacted for very long and that was it.

I can't remember any (I know there were half a dozen named in the credits, were they actually referred to by name in the programme itself?) If this really was like a RTD script there definitely would've been a joke about his brother being Colony Narrf - who'd be gay.

DoctorWhat posted:ahahahaha literally when Jubilee. Also, it bothers the gently caress out of me that's there's no consistency to Moffat'a Daleks. Instead of the red supreme Dalek being charge here why wasn't it the same Dalek Supreme that was leading parliament? Or even one of the new designs they spent an entire episode justifying and are still all over promotional materials? Seriously; they had all those Dalek designs in a room together and not a singular new paradigm one.

CaptainYesterday posted:I'm guessing Jenna Coleman is going appear in Class at least as a recurring character after she leaves Doctor Who. Unless, of course, she gets a bad ending when she leaves, like Rose, Donna, and Amy/Rory got. I can see her showing up in the first episode, but after that she'll probably be done. She's been wanting to leave the main show practically since she signed the contract so there's no way she will stick around for a kids orientated spin-off.

MisterBibs posted:The Time War being depicted in the W/10/11 crossover was a Time War after all the temporal jiggery pokery was exhausted, leading to the final battle being a much more practical boots-on-the-ground slog. The idea that the final days of Time War was just the last survivors fighting in the mud is a novel one, it's just that it was portrayed like Star Wars and had a Looney toons ending. And I'm still not entirely convinced that idea wasn't thought up because Moffat couldn't come up with anything more imaginative. I really would've prefered he left well alone.

If the camera zoomed out a little bit as the Doctor picked up the guitar we'd probably see O'Donnell looking all fangirl excited with the other dude just sitting there going Talking to the audience is kind of Twelve's thing. He did it at the start of Listen as well.

So, interesting bit of gossip; Nine's inclusion in the 50th got as far as the story boarding phase for the entire episode, with The Moment being played by a young Amy - called Raggedy Girl, rather than a Bad Wolf possessed Rose. Apparently the reason Christopher eventually left was because of budget problems with the 50th Anniversary changing plans and delaying the filming so he would've had to leave another project he'd already signed up for, otherwise he was perfectly happy to reprise his role. Further to this at one point the 50th was going to be three episodes, ending with Day of the Doctor, but as it became obvious the show hadn't recovered from passed budget mistakes these three episodes became Name, Day and Time respectively - with Matt Smith's regeneration being forced into the last one due to Smith wanting out following the behind the scenes drama. All of this comes from a storyboarding artist who recently published a book with some of the Ninth Doctor scenes from the 50th in it and has been appearing at conventions to promote it. He also story boarded for the shows Seventh series. Here's some of the storyboards; http://imgur.com/a/IrsmU PriorMarcus fucked around with this message at 15:34 on Oct 18, 2015 |

twistedmentat posted:I like how there's not some obvious hook through the season so far. No Cracks, no Bad Wolf (seriously, that sounds like it was made from a random bag of scrabble letters), nothing. I mean there is the cloister bell but there hasn't been some kind of "Hey look people, look at that!" stuff with it. The hybrid, the War Minister, the Doctor's confessional dial, the Master and the Dalek's. The hybrid is definitely an on going plot because the Doctor reacted with horror when he realised he'd made Astrid one.

When the final twist was being revealed I thought it would be that the monsters weren't real at all but rather vat grown like the Grunts and the professor had used the transmission to spread Morpheus because of the growing body of people who refused to use it, like the one marine here.

Stabbatical posted:Actually, she got her super-powers from a freak accident. If you trace it back, the universe was saved by Davros's lightning-hand and/or the Sycorax leader chopping off 10's hand. Exactly. But Clara got her super-powers from bad writing. Taken in the full context of her achievements Clara is the single most important person in the series after the Doctor himself. Her influence over his life extends further than any other companions, even his grand daughter. It's nice and cathartic that in the end she was killed by a bird and a lens flare.

Moffat allows his writers to introduce world ending stakes all the time. It reached peak ridiculousness when that bad puppet robot was meant to be able to kill every human on Earth despite Danny Pink being able to defeat it by jumping. Danny Pink couldn't even defeat a car so the Skullballs Blitzer must've been really poo poo.

pgroce posted:re: Gallifrey -- I'd prefer most of the Doctor's mysteries remain obscure, but one I'd like explained is why Gallifrey is as barren and inhospitable as Skaro. You can't blame the Time War; it was like that in Invasion of Time. (And the practical reason is "because quarries.") The New Series has chosen to keep things that way, though, and I'm sure they would have given the place some more climate variety if they'd been inclined to. It's because Gallifrey is immeasurably ancient and the world itself long ago died. The grand cities are contained within the baubles because that contains their false atmosphere and ecology. That city might look small, but every building and corridor is bigger on the inside. If you measured the actual size of that city it would cover the entire Earth and theirs a few dozen of them on Gallifrey.
