I was watching some of the Clara eps during the marathon and had literally no memory of most of the episodes. I loved Capaldi but not the stories.


His last series was easily the best since Smith's first series

BBC America's going to run the premiere several times tomorrow, but at the 8 pm slot, their advertising it's a "Special Edition". Anyone have a clue as to what so "Special" about it?

Did BBCA's 13 days of Doctor Who air a SINGLE 12th Doctor episode or did they just show 9, 10, and 11 episodes.

They started with the 9th Doctor. Then the 12th. Then 10, then 11.

They called "Timey-Wimey Marathon"

yeah I eagerly anticipate nerds tripping over themselves to exaggerate the smallest poo poo and/or make up flaws wholesale to justify their conclusions about DOCTOR WOMAN, BAD DOCTOR

Some are losing their poo poo at the line "It's been a while since I've bought clothes for a woman[/i]. Because it just can't be a funny line, nope, it's Chibs trying to rewrite Who history by suggesting that the Doctor was a woman before Hartnell.

I saw one person brag that they "Had a spine and not watch the show".

One said they'll keep watching, but the show's now about a Time Lady who stole the Doctor's identity.

Still has a recognizable control console with a time rotor. Hell if you look at the elevated area just around the console it almost looks like the Doctor just dropped the immediate walls. The new crystal design feels very wrong to me.

The crystal would work if it just wasn't a just one solid piece. If they had done something like Superman's Fortress of Solitude, using clear crystals, illumination it from the inside, and letting the light bounce off it. Maybe not having every crystal move in unison either.

And not yellow either. I understand they want to tie it in with the sonic, but a white/clear crystal would look so much better

They use video of the Seventh Doctor from one of classic series eps in the "All 13!" scene, and then moments later when they go back, they use video of Seven from the TV Movie.

My favorite Moffat thing was his production notes column in DWM when he received the tape of the Sarah Jane Adventures story with the Eleventh Doctor. He went on to explain how as Who show runner, he could no longer experience the feeling of watching a Who story cold, since he was heavily involved in every step of the process of making an episode, even watching the final product felt like he had already seen it a dozen times. But since he had nothing to do with SJA, he could finally see an Eleventh Doctor episode cold, with no idea of what was going to happen next. He was so excited! Then the episode starts, and he wrote something like: "Wait, what? 'Death of the Doctor'?! RUSSELL!!!!"

That said, if there is somebody whose love for the show outshines almost everybody else in the universe, it's gotta be RTD. He's just so infectiously joyful whenever he talks about Who. When Big Finish got the contract to do revival era stuff and they spoke to him about it, he was so giddy talking about the possibilities :3:

Not only that, when the show came back, he made sure that BF got to keep their license.

On reflection there is one thing I am confused about.
What was it that "not Trump" was trying to get his assistant/niece in law to finish that she couldn't possibly get done in time (that he needed to be all secretive about and fired Yaz's mum for showing up) - she taped some sort of confession before she got spidered in the tunnel but they didn't know about the spiders at the time.

She was aware of them building the resort atop a waste dump that they had created.


What happened to the spider in Yaz's apartment?
