This is a conversation that said that series 3 and 4 were the creative peak so it's not the only odd opinion floating around

Rirse posted:I just noticed my 'start from the beginning of the Revival to the newest Christmas Special' is going to hurt as I see Love and Monsters is next. I never seen this one, I just know it suppose to be really bad. How bad is it compared to some really awful stories from Buffy like Beer Bad. Just make up your own mind on it

Voyage of the Damned shares its name with the true story of holocaust fleeing Jews being turned away by multiple countries, so it can never be anything but rated F.2house2fly posted:Its not really bad as such, it's just a silly episode that's more overtly for kids and has a sex joke at the end which is in insanely poor taste. It's for people who were involved in Doctor Who fandom in the 90s

Bit of a legal grey area I'd have thought. quote:Mark Gatiss had previously admitted that he'd "started crying" when he learned of the connection between his character and the Brigadier.

Watching The Stones of Blood. Bloody hell I always forget about the dress that Vivien wears in the second half. Professor Rumford is also one of the finest and most accurate academics in fiction.

I mean, almost all of the major male actors are dead so it's not like they can come back: Michael O'Hare 2012 Jerry Doyle 2016 Richard Biggs 2004 Andreas Katsulas 2006 Jeff Conaway 2011 Stephen Furst 2017 (leaving Boxleitner, Jurasik and Mumy) whereas all of the female leads are still alive. This is a similar ratio to the original Star Trek.

EdBlackadder posted:Doctor Who basically led to my career. See, I was born just before it went off air and grew up in the wilderness years, watching repeats. When I was very little my Grandad had cancer and I wanted to know who the men who were walking around looking after him were and found out they were doctors. I was 5, I thought you could get a TARDIS of you studied really hard at school. Yeah, speaking as someone who went into the sciences having a sciency role model probably helped a lot

Jerusalem posted:It's also great with the commentary track, as they all find Packer's increasingly dishevelled appearance through the course of the serial hilarious The other stand out funny thing is them saying "You all look so young!" about Wendy Padbury, and then a guy coming on later who basically says "Phwoah I'd like a bit of that" whenever she's on screen

Rirse posted:So I up to Forest of the Night which still not a good episode, but one thing I remember from past episodes is how the earth was pretty much abandoned after a giant solar flare in the 29th century. So what happened to the automatic forest system to protect it that time? Doctor Who continuity doesn't work that way GOODNIGHT
