Narsham posted:The central problem with the story becomes clear once you learn that Moffat declared that the original Zygon/human agreement was in fact the most perfect arrangement possible. Starting with that as a declared truth, Harness actually manages to do a decent job of presenting the revolutionary position as motivated reasonably. "Moffat declared." No he didn't. Various characters asserted that it was the most perfect agreement (most of those characters being the Doctor, dealing with the moral and philosophical weight of the Time War and, as you said, with mass loss of life immediately on the line).

I'm actually maybe madder about the scheduling? I don't want to go back into the Big Finish Hole as my only fix. At least Moffat's got another season so we won't be waiting this long for Chibnall 1. but god dammit this'll probably be Capaldi's last and I am SO loving FAR AWAY from being ready for him to leave. He just got here and he's loving incredible.

I hope Chibnall embraces a more room-driven direction for Doctor Who. I trust his technical expertise at Making A Show but don't have much faith in any of his creative ideas, so hopefully he doesn't try to ape the Moffat/RTD Showrunner model and instead takes a more distant approach. If he recognizes his own limitations he could easily bypass them by putting folks like Mathieson, Dollard, and even Harness in strong positions.

Rochallor posted:Susan's such an awkward thing to come back to, though, since she's from an era where it's obvious that the Doctor wasn't a Time Lord, he was just some dude. Leaving Susan behind is just weird if she's going to live for thousands of years and David Cameron (!) is probably going to die in 20 from like, dysentery or something. It would be really difficult because a) you'd have to reconcile all of that somehow and b) it's a really deep bit of continuity to rely on. The deepest Moffat has dug into the past series is probably the Davros two-parter from this series, and even then it's perfectly enjoyable if you've only seen Davros back in Series 4. She and Seven were gonna come back for S4 or S5 of the Sarah Jane Adventures

And More posted:Yeah, I notice that stuff from time to time. It probably didn't stand out to me during Time because I was listening to that one on my lovely headphones. There was one instance in Zagreus, though, where an explosion sound simply cut off (probably because it went below what my proper headphones could handle). I mean, c'mon, guys. We can't all be audiophiles. Yeah, that really is Shearman. I know because we hang out occasionally.

I know, right? Even after everything I've said about Chimes, I'd never for a second doubt Shearman's talent and ambitiousness. I adored The Holy Terror and Scherzo. Two out of three is pretty good. Additionally, I found this

And More posted:Quite frankly, I have so little to do with Doctor Who outside of this thread that I can't even tell if you're mocking me. No it's true. I met him in Summer '14 when I went to the UK and then last summer I caught his play and pointed him at the Night Vale thing, though no sign of success on that front. He follows me on tumblr for some reason, which is how all that happened.

Of COURSE that was the point. There's no goddamn way of watching Series 9 with a critical eye where it isn't ABUNDENTLY CLEAR that the Doctor/Clara dynamic is what Moffat cared about, the kind of story he's ALWAYS really interested in telling. You'd think that'd be taken as read, by now. In any case: Toxxupation posted:#thetriggering is a current hashtag making the rounds on twitter for people to "Talk real" to "SJWs" yikes

Now hold on, I wasn't making a declarative statement of the quality of the Doctor/Clara arc (though I certainly hold it in higher regard than most here). I'm just saying that Moffat's intent should, by this point, be abundantly clear. Which, I suppose, is as good a reason as any for him to step away, isn't it?

The trouble Doctor Who presently faces, has faced for years, and will continue to face until/unless it takes a rest from the mainstream for another 5-10 years, is that it has to be a blockbuster and an Event. Of course, the opposite circumstance - Doctor Who as an evergreen but without a mandate to be interesting or the resources to (usually) aspire beyond children's teatime - ultimately brought about the programme's original demise. But in the leadup and aftermath around The Cancellation, Who actually flourished! Seasons 25 and 26 are astonishing - I'd argue brilliant! - and while my opinion of the actual quality of the early Wilderness Years material is rather dim, the fervor and excitement and freedom of that pre-revival EU material makes for a strong argument in their favor (even if they're rarely actually, you know, enjoyable until Colin Baker starts recording audios). Doctor Who is a series that, like its hero, thrives in crisis but is ill-suited to the everyday. Manic for revolution but uncomfortable with peace. There are no stories to tell in peacetime - you have to go looking for a fight, as the McCoy team did. They ran away with their blue box and set sights on Thatcher, and by got Cartmel and Company were fighting the Doctor's fight those two-and-a-bit years. (... actually, "The Doctor as someone comfortable with action but not quite compatible with consequence is, perhaps, the closest thing to coherence The Zygon Inversion achieves. I'm pretty kind to that story, because I'm sympathetic to any production whose reach exceeds its grasp, bt even I have to admit that if it's trying to say any actual Thing about the real world, it fails. Of course, it doesn't manage to say that much coherent about Doctor Who, either, which is unfortunate for a sequel to an episode of Doctor Who that did an exceptional job of being about Doctor Who .

They had ARCS, yes, except that with the ARGUABLE exception of Amy's crack-adjacent childhood, all of those "destinies" were nothing of the sort. For instance, Clara's "impossibility" (as well as the "Bad Wolf" stuff with Rose) is the product of her own actions, and in Clara's case the little monicker is inextricably tied to Eleven's explicitly reductive and patronizing attitude towards her. I'm so goddamn TIRED of having to explain this basic goddamn poo poo over and over again.
