I've noticed a lot of people (Americans) complaining about not being able to understand Bill, which is a bit surprising?

There's a not-insignificant part of the population that thinks Daniel Craig is calling M "mom" in his James Bond movies, so...

Has anyone mentioned Chibnall wrote this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberwoman

Between the first two seasons of Torchwood and the second season of Broadchurch, I have no hope for Chibnall whatsoever.

You want oldschool just find an old b&w TV. HD ruins the authenticity.

The Unquiet Dead could be pretty cool in B&W, and since it's from 2005 you don't need to worry about HD. :v:

They have. Especially the Eccleston season. I'm not sure how it wasn't canceled. It's loving awful. It gets better every season after that.

Oh, God, no, Piper and Tennant swooning at each other like horny high school students in the second season was just unwatchable. At least with the Eccleston season, we had Rose, Dalek, Boom Town, Bad Wolf, Parting of the Ways, Father's Day, The Empty Child, The Doctor Dances, The Unquiet Dead and The End of the World. Really, the only clunkers are the Slitheen two-parter and The Long Game.

The effects are ropey as hell and of course the video quality is terrible, but the stories themselves are really very great.

The entitlement of nerd culture these days is truly shocking.

I'm surprised there aren't people clamoring for Sony to make a "real" Ghostbusters 3 and just reanimate Ramis, a la Zombie Cushing from Rogue One.

... actually, there probably are people clamoring for such a thing.

So yeah, hate for the production team/environment.

And he was open to doing the 50th. He met with Moffat at least once and I believe twice, and Moffat had a script with Eccleston in it. But Eccleston doesn't really do nostalgia roles.

Eccleston had story boards done and a new wardrobe fitting before he pulled out. He was a lot closer to appearing in the special than just talking about it.

Both Moffat and Eccleston deny that.

PriorMarcus posted:

It's my understanding that events surrounding Caroline Skinner where responsible for Eccleston pulling out at the last moment.

Also...



By Moffat's account, he had the storyboards drafted and the script more than halfway written but he couldn't go any farther without knowing whether or not Eccleston would be involved, which is when he and Eccleston finally met and they talked about the story. There has never been any account of Eccleston doing wardrobe fittings or whatnot.

It's almost certainly a lie predicated on racism.

Far earlier in the thread, I'm positive that echoplex himself said that Mackie was perfectly kind.

Outside of the Christmas special, which is set to begin shooting near the end of the month.

haven't the other doctors mostly stuck to one outfit except for special occasions? like 11 and 10 each had one suit each, or did i just not pay much attention to their clothes.

Tennant had his brown and blue suits, and a couple different colors of his trainers. Smith had two different tweed coats, his brown coat, that military-style coat (the green one), and the coat with the long tails that he wore from 7b until Time of the Doctor.

Wait, he was involved with the new Star Trek?

WAIT, there's a new Star Trek!?!

New series exclusive to CBS All-Access in North America and on Netflix internationally, set ten years prior to the Original Series. Premiering this fall. It's had an insanely troubled development history and while Fuller was originally in charge of it, after production was delayed three times because he was being a prima donna about the scripts, CBS finally shoved him out the airlock and replaced him.

When I saw that there were multiple ecosystems on the ship I wondered if the finale would involve climactic battle on a waterfall.

Wouldn't shock me, considering Moffat's affinity for The Final Problem, if he went to the Reichenbach Falls well again.
