This is some goddamn excellent Doctor Who. I'm fully in love with 13.

Chokes McGee posted:This whole thing feels like it's going to be the Hunt for the TARDIS most of the season and I sincerely hope each place they teleport to becomes increasingly more contrived and ridiculous. Trapped in the past, The Doctor finds herself leaping from life to life, putting things right that once went wrong and hoping each time that her next leap will be the leap home.

I love it when Doctor Who introduces a villain that's creepy (wears his victims teeth in his loving face) but isn't afraid to lighten the mood up a bit at its expense (...Tim Shaw??)

Bruceski posted:Could be worse. Over in another forum they're complaining about the "unrealistic coincidence" of Yaz and Ryan knowing each other, his grandma being on the train that gets hit, and the Doctor happening to show up just in time to save them. What are the chances of anything in any given episode of Who actually happening? What an asinine complaint.

The_Doctor posted:Plus, as an gay myself, I have to point out to straight people who never realise this, but you never stop coming out. It's never a once and done deal. You have to continually come out to every person to whom it might be relevant, and honestly it's exhausting. Did you check with SA forums member Safeword on if this was a suitably unrandom moment to mention this? If not, then you're a poorly written character.

Jerusalem posted:I still love Capaldi rolling into the Dalek control room in Davros' chair, the Daleks physically recoil, and him saying,"Admit it, you've had nightmares about this" So good. When I think of 12 I think two things. That. And him rolling in literally playing his theme song on guitar atop of a tank.

She knew the TARDIS showed up once every 1000 rotations. It wasn't there when she got there. Meaning, it'll be there in another 1000 rotations. They only survived the spooby bed sheets because they had a combination of fire + gas in the swamps they were in. How were they going to survive however many nights of spooby bed sheets it takes for the TARDIS to rematerialize? So I don't blame the Doctor for being a little bit forlorn.

Lets be honest though, since around 11 it's been the sci-fi equivalent of a magic wand.

Vinylshadow posted:I like how in two episodes, the Thirteen's already used the Sonic more than Twelve did his entire run Did you count times 12 used his sonic shades? Also, it was probably a conscious effort to reduce how much the Doctor relied on his sonic since 11's was practically an extension of himself. And he also might have been compensating for something, since Regeneration is a lottery.

jivjov posted:The Radio Free Skaro guys made a really good observation that it's really a good thing for the Doctor to hammer that point home. It's letting the companions give informed consent to the hazards of traveling. The Tim Shaw situation happened such that the companions (and Grace) just got swept up in the middle of things, and the events of Ghost Monument and Rosa (the former very heavily so) were not adventures embarked on by choice; the scene at the end of Arachnids, on the other hand, is the companions proactively saying "yes, let's keep traveling together" Ya, I thought it was cool and refreshing that 13 had the crew sign a verbal contract that they're about to embark on some fun but also, more than likely, some really loving dangerous and incredibly hosed up adventures. Compared to the fairy-tale style promise of all of time and space, everything that ever happened or ever will etc. Like she can pull the lever and fly the TARDIS almost anywhere at anytime, sure but if that thing wants to it can and will take them into the very pits of Hell because the Doctor's needed there. "Sign here and here and here.....ok, now that I'm not liable for you not coming back the same at all, wanna pull the switch together?"

The cast, writers, and directors are all doing fantastic things with Doctor Who at the moment and this last episode pretty much cemented that. Regardless of how the rest of the episodes turn out.

As usual, the official DW Facebook page continues to be the go to place for the worst fans to make their voices heard amongst the general fandom. Remember when being unable to hide behind a veil of anonymity was enough to keep people like that from commenting? Even after Demons of Punjab, the show apparently has the worst script writing ever. Moffat is now haralded as a God Emperor compared to Chib. Everything positive that this new incarnation of the show is trying to say is taken as a negative and the very fact that it's a New Years Special instead of a Christmas Special is the sign to them that Doctor Who is a show with a political and religious agenda. Where's 11 when we need him? Reboot the Universe, because this one is hosed.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Going all in on the blue/orange is probably the worst thing about it, right after the salt lamp crystal aesthetic It's good actually. The contrasting colors are nice. But like Terry Grunthouse just mentioned nothing tops 12's TARDIS interior. It took the great things about 11's late stage interior and made it better.

Can someone make a gif of 13 walking away and blowing a kiss to the universe frog? Loved that moment now that it has context from the clip we saw in the many teasers leading to this series. The urge to change my avatar to that is strong as hell.

Bicyclops posted:It is really funny when Yas says about the Solitract, "You've literally never said that word before" or whatever, it's like the script is becoming self-aware of the exposition dump issue (it hasn't bothered me as much as it's bothered some others, I don't know, it just kind of works for me given the material most of the time). This kind of came up in Kerblam. DOCTOR: Ah, it's the Kerblam man! YASMIN: It's the what? DOCTOR: The Kerblam man. GRAHAM: You're just making sounds now.

Edward Mass posted:Overall, this series was what I had feared: bland and unmemorable. Couldn't disagree with you more. I'll always remember the episodes: The Woman Who Fell to Earth, Rosa, Demons of Punjab, It Takes You Away. I'll remember the awesomeness of the companions, especially Graham. I'll remember Tim Shaw, the Ptang, the ridiculous King James, and the Solitract Frog. The series being bland is your opinion though, of course.
