Toxxupation posted:I'm writing a Thing and I need classic who experts to weigh in and confirm or deny More than six is actually really rare, I can't think of any more than two examples. Even with the six, the good ones tend to break it up into being two different stories that go into one another. Outside that it's GENERALLY true, like you'd find with any serialized work. Like, they weren't just heavily serialized, they were serials. Which have mostly gone away in modern days but you know. The older seasons even tended to link the end of one serial to the start of another, though they stopped doing that after awhile.

Toxxupation posted:okay It kind of does feel like it and in none of the good ways serialized story telling can be used. Base under siege, extremely limited cast that gets quickly picked off, story that in no way is complete and is obviously missing stuff, and big cliff hanger ending. On the plus side it actually has a story of its own, sort of, compared to the opening, where you could just skip that entirely and go straight to episode 2 and not lose anything. EDIT: Hell it feels like it especially compared to the era of Classic Who that was composed of two parters, which wasn't very long but still. I'd say more about that but you haven't' seen the rest of the season so I won't.

MrL_JaKiri posted:The Keys of Marinus Of those I counted the Daleks Master Plan and War Games exclusively just becuase I knew they were 12 and 10. I honestly forgot so much of the Third Doctor's opening season was comprised of 8 parters because of how drat good the pacing was, and the rest I just chucked off to "8 episodes that's silly. You either go to the extreme of 10 (or 12) or you just have 6!" Because my memory is the best thingever

Acne Rain posted:Does this mean the post-Clara companion is also leaving after season ten because that'd be kind of even more amusing to me than having to follow Amy and Clara. Likely not? We don't even know what Capaldi will be doing. It's possible he will be leaving with the next Christmas special and Moffat gets to introduce a third Doctor...but hopefully not. Capaldi deserves a season's send off. Which this last season most definitely was not.

jng2058 posted:Okay, so where's the idea that Capaldi's leaving with Moffat coming from? I don't see any hard evidence of that anywhere. Indeed, given how Moffat himself said that it was extraordinarily difficult to handle becoming the new showrunner and inaugurating a new Doctor simultaneously, I'd expect him to do his best to get Peter to stay on for at least one season of Chibnall's run just to help smooth the transition. Well it's coming from the little known source of Capaldi talking about how his time on Who is likely not going to be much longer because of a lot of reasons, and it being a full two years until Chibnall takes over. Frankly, while what you propose is the most hopeful thing, the other extreme is just as likely. Capaldi could bow out with the Christmas Special this year like Smith did during his year off. Only it'd hurt far more.

Chokes McGee posted:If 13's going to be female and I absolutely think they've been pushing it that way for a while (Clara as the Doctor's stand-in, Missy, the General), I really hope it's after Moffat's gone because IIRC the man has got some major league issues writing female characters. I'm infinitely more worried about what Chibnall might do. Remember. This is the man who thought Cyberwoman was a good idea.

Jerusalem posted:I agree, especially since Big Finish do a really loving good job at producing that voice effect in a way that actually sounds creepy. Given that Nicholas Briggs does the Cybermen voices on television just like he does the Daleks, I'm surprised that they haven't at least given it a go. I'm genuinely surprised we haven't seen Older Cybermen around. It's just a matter of time travel for the love of God. How does the Doctor ALWAYS meet whatever the current model of Cybermen is in his time line. You could lob this at the old show, but at least with the Second Doctor the dude met many different iterations of them of arguable ages and variations. Like Daleks, sure fine. They have time travel, of course they sync up with the Doctor. Cybermen do not have time travel. I'd really love for some REALLY old school Tomb or Invasion era Cybermen to run into Modern Cybermen and decry them for no longer being Mondas people.

Huh. So the Netflix thing was commented on but this was not. Apparently the BBC has taken both modern and Classic Doctor Who not just from Netflix, but also Hulu. That's kind of lovely of them. Like, Modern Who I can understand. Why would they do that with Classic Who? That's the only reliable way to actually watch it legally. Hopefully they'll get something going on their end that won't be needlessly complicated.

I am not a fan of Modern (Modern) Cybermen design because they just look like Ironman clones to me. They also can act like Iron Man clones so you know. Mind you their various super powers outside of flight only showed up in Nightmare in Silver and was nowhere to be seen in season 8. I'm actually kind of dissapointed that Clara never ran into the Cybermen again. Would have been a neat kick in the teeth for her.

Why did JNT pick Six's outfit the way he did anyways The rest of the Twin Dilemma's sins we won't lay at his feet, but that was his choice to make Six look utterly ridiculous right? Because I know that was one of the stated reasons that one rear end in a top hat from the BBC gave for ultimately hating and killing the show

I dunno. I think Who hit its stride, effects wise, in the 70s and its been a down hill tumble since then. There was a solid point for a little while there where they were lowbudget enough to be low budget, but everything else was so lovely that it didn't matter. Then the quality gap kicked in and left the show in the dust.

Jerusalem posted:If Chibnall is using the lead-up time he's been given to produce an amazing initial season ala Moffat that would be so great. I mean, it's highly unlikely based on his prior work, but Broadchurch's first season was something he poured his heart and soul into and that worked out fantastically until it proved so popular that he got asked to actually follow up on what he started. Maybe Maybe he'll just do one season And then give it to some one else
