A good thread title  I wonder if we'll finally get an extended version of 12's anniversary scene considering what a stickler Moffat is for continuity.

Fog Tripper posted:Yar, I watched everything since the reboot all the way to the first few Capaldi. It felt like he was trying too hard or something. Just couldn't dig it. Give this new season a shot. Capaldi was initially hamstrung by some really inconsistent scripts and a forced "am I a good man?" shtick. He's an absolute joy now that he's comfortable in the role.

Bicyclops posted:Capaldi has some of the best episodes of the revival, including Listen and Heaven Sent, so I'm sad that so many people missed out on him because the first half of his intro episode was a complete and utter mess. His whole first season is an inconsistent mess and the series 9 episodes with Ashildr and the Zygon two-parter are some of the revival's worst. Even the TVIV threads have seen a gradual decline in activity during Capaldi's run. I love the guy and I love 12, but I'm almost surprised he isn't less popular.

Arglebargle III posted:It's a terrible shame that Peter Capaldi was wasted on Stephen Moffat. It wouldn't be so bad if this was just a job for Capaldi, but he's clearly a huge fan that loves the role and absolutely deserved better.

While there's an argument for 12 being more Hartnell than Troughton, I'd hesitate to call him authoritarian. He's very much a punk Doctor, to the point where I personally would consider him a Troughton, albeit a much more serious variation on the style.

I'd argue 9 and 10 were both PTSD Doctors in how they allowed that experience to totally define everything they did after. 9 accepted it and became bitter, pessimistic, and staunchly anti-war. 10 tried to repress it and run from it and, when forced to deal with either the Time War or his own mortality, became childish and selfish.

Timby posted:Streaming is in this weird miasma of poo poo right now. Netflix continues to hemorrhage non-original content (the streaming library in the US is now under 4,000 titles; a few years ago it was around 13,000), Amazon's got the worst interface in human history (and can't catalog anything properly to save its life), and Hulu's just kind of ticking along with random things here and there because the networks realized, "Wait, why do we each co-own a chunk of one service when we can each launch our own service and get that sweet :tenbux: directly to us, instead of splitting it?" And people wonder why I still buy physical media

I love how (relatively) cheap Who stuff is in London. Hotel didn't have my room ready on time, so I killed an hour in Forbidden Planet and came out with Power of The Daleks, Nightmare of Eden, Time & The Rani (forgive me), The Visitation, and The Daemons for £8 each (~$10.50). All cheaper than their US counterparts (and Eden is OOP), and the only caveat is having to play them in my region free player. Also picked up a 5.5" 12th Doc fig in his best costume; check trousers, hoodie, pink tee

Revenant Threshold posted:It says a lot that, out of all the "DOCTOR WHO RUINED CUCKS PC CULTURE FEMINAZIS" reactions to this I've seen, not one yet has said "They should've had Kris Marshall." I probably would have given up watching the show as it aired if it had been Marshall. If it had been him and the season was poo poo, I'd have probably taken a break for his tenure.

Wheat Loaf posted:I can only speak for my father, but I do recall him saying that he doesn't really care about that kind of thing so long as the stories are entertaining. My dad's as republican as they come, but when the news was posting negative reactions to 13 his exact words were "She's already an immortal alien, what's wrong with her being a woman? What show are these idiots watching?"

jivjov posted:Much like with the 2016 Ghostbusters reimagining, I do worry about how criticism toward Whittaker's Doctor, Chibnall, Series 11 overall, etc will be taken. If you take GB2016 as an example, we can expect idiot fans to post incredibly negative and sexist poo poo on every single Facebook post that even vaguely references 13 for the next several years, including Halloween posts that show small children dressed up as their favorite character. I love Ghostbusters, but the fan reaction to that movie was so asinine and downright embarrassing. It's one thing to hate a movie, it's another to extend that vitriol to anyone who dares to enjoy it.

Paul.Power posted:12's big grin does make me think of Tom Baker a fair bit I'm sure it'll be great if Capaldi ever does Big Finish, but it just won't be the same because so much of Capaldi's performance comes from his expressions. It's too bad the writing has been so scattershot during his tenure, the man deserved to break Tom's record.

Good: I now have a complete McCoy run on DVD  Insane: I'm three DVDs away from a complete T.Baker run  Thanks to Brexit tanking the pound, this trip has been extremely cheap. So of course, I did the logical thing and bought 19 classic DVDS.

I wish he had kept that at least and mixed in a hoodie etc. I like the crombie coat, but since you hardly ever saw the red accents that outfit looked really plain. I hope they do something really different with 13, the long coat and slacks look has become the standard for three revival doctors now.

Maera Sior posted:These are horrifying and amazing. As much as I wish we saw them on the screen, I can understand why they didn't go with them. I know we talk about children hiding behind the sofa, but something that gets this sort of reaction out of adults is a bit much for a family show. I think it could have worked in the background of a different episode, but not in that finale where the design is going to be seen in close-ups for extended periods of time.
