howe_sam posted:In the moment I thought Cyberbrig was fine, but considering my own private freakout over the thought of Amy and Rory being turned into Cybermen I get why people didn't like it. But... it's not that we're very attached to the character and are sad because he's been cybered, it's that the reason that the character is dead in-universe is that Nicholas Courtney died. Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill are, time of writing, very much alive. It's not quite the same level of wtf but this generates the same reaction in me as the "I, a history student, never understood the holocaust was sad until someone photoshopped a MLP character in" picture

...! posted:The thing that really bothered me about this special and last year's special is that they felt like they had far less to do with Christmas than previous specials. The whole Christmas in the trenches thing and everything to do with that soldier just seemed kinda tacked on. Watch the Christmas specials from a few years ago and you'll see a noticeable difference. It varies. It's not like the most successful Christmas specials - the RTD ones - had much to do with Christmas.

The big ones you missed out on were the Valeyard (two actors) and the eight Morbius doctors (the other one I was thinking of was Adrian Gibbs, who played The Watcher)

HD DAD posted:Like, every time someone in Series 9 mentioned the word “hybrid”, they might as well have turned to the camera with a “dun dun dun!” musical cue. That was necessary though, because how could he have the twist that "the hybrid" isn't actually important if people don't understand that "the hybrid" is important? The problem there was that noone gave a poo poo

marktheando posted:Yeah a ton of viewers hated the Doctor being old and grumpy and stopped watching. I'm not convinced by this, because Capaldi's first series had strong ratings throughout

marktheando posted:His first ep got good ratings as new Doctors always do, but declined a fair bit by the 2017 series. His first series got an average that was pretty much the same as all of Smith's series (7.26m, vs 7.5m or so), and had a more consistent audience throughout. It declined by about a million viewers year on year. To assume from this that it must be because Capaldi was old is a bit of a reach.

Astroman posted:How can a lease renewal really be that insurmountable? Surely Cardiff benefitted from having tourists come to see it more than whatever else they want to use the building for. Unless it's just a case of City Council people flaunting their god-like powers and getting off on it. Cardiff only had the lease for five years, all of which they subleased to the BBC. The land is owned by a real estate company called Igloo.

Timby posted:In fairness, the "Time War" was a pretty ropey concept in the first place, almost as half-baked as the "Temporal Cold War" in Star Trek Enterprise. The two are completely incomparable; the Time War was, and always was, largely a method to deliberately step away from existing continuity while keeping the bits that they liked and could be drip fed to the audience. I'd say it's probably RTD's best idea. The Temporal Cold War was an underwhelming arc.

DoctorWhat posted:Moffat only showed the end of the war, when - explicitly! - all the nightmare weapons the Time Lords made had been used up and the war had degraded, Skaro-like, into infantry and trenches. He didn't "make it pedestrian" and this willfull choice to ignore the actual text frustrates me even four years later. "It used to be really exciting but now it's just a conventional war" is dull and pedestrian.

"Oh but the text says it makes sense for it be dull and pedestrian" is entirely irrelevant

MisterBibs posted:How so? The text tells you precisely that everything fanciable (and more importantly, unfilmable)*). We're aware of things like the Skaro Degradations, the Horde of Travesties, the Nightmare Child, the Could-Have-Been-King with his army of Meanwhiles and Neverweres are all dead and gone. The text tells, the viewer accepts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAMHpiVDEXY

Stabbatical posted:Having not watched the whole of the old series, was it ever shown that there were non-Time Lord Gallifreyans before Moffat's run? In this story! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixY3p4SpSjg Also implied in The Deadly Assassin, but mostly it's an idea expounded in New Adventures et al. The best portrayal of the Time Lords was, and always will be, their very first one though. Rirse posted:After watching only handful of random Matt and Peter episodes and then Twice Upon a Time, I decided to just go back to the start of the revival and go from there. Loving it and just reached Christmas Invasion...but what was the point of the evil Santa bots at the start? They are not related to the Sycorax and disappear as soon that Christmas tree gets blew up. It's CHRISTMAS, duh
