Apropos of nothing. At one time, we had 13 episodes a year plus a Christmas special, although that schedule did need them to double up and record two episodes at the same time. Now we have 10 plus a Christmas special. Is this worth being slightly concerned about?

Good start. The music is everything I've been hoping for for ten years, the theme remix is outstanding, and were those out-of-focus howlaround-style graphics I saw behind the closing credits? It feels fresh in a way it hasn't done for a long time, it's a real Troughton-to-Pertwee moment.

twistedmentat posted:So, this is honestly the first time I've seen anything set in Sheffield. Like I honestly cannot remember it ever being in a movie or a show or whatnot. I've seen Norwich more than that. Isn't Depeche Mode from there?  The Full Monty (watch it) and When Saturday Comes (don't bother unless, like Sean Bean, you love a gallon of Magnet and a greasy chip butty)

Wheat Loaf posted:Appalachia? Not Appalachia, though; they're not that insular or remote, and they don't come down from the hills. If you made a British Deliverance, it wouldn't be in Yorkshire. The closest thing I can think of is The Wicker Man, which is set on a remote Scottish island. vvv The thing about Deliverance of course is that it trades on this feeling of being absolutely in the middle of nowhere, it's barely civilised, no help for days or weeks around, that's all but impossible to replicate with something set here because we're such a tiny little island compared to the USA vvv Trin Tragula fucked around with this message at 18:31 on Oct 12, 2018 |

MrL_JaKiri posted:I thought the actual covering of the topic was about as good as it could have been, as for the actual plot - I dunno, it felt a bit video gamey/looney toons to have the guy just appear with another problem every couple of minutes in the final sequence. I'm not sure how it could have been done better, though. "But you see, Doctor, *I* went back in time just slightly further...and I bribed the architect first!!!"

Loved it. I'll be interested to see if it stands up in a few years, it's not perfect, but that's the most I've enjoyed the show in ages and ages. People to give a poo poo about!

Hakkesshu posted:In my mind it's weird to abandon the long form narrative structure that basically defined the show for decades - like you don't have to do it often, but I think the show loses something when every single episode is a one and done affair. There's a reason that in days of yore, Doctor Who fans used to talk very earnestly about Part Three Syndrome; in which a story which has been rattling along very nicely for 50 minutes and will be done in about 75 comes to a screeching halt in Part Three, while everyone runs up and down corridors and escapes and gets recaptured and nothing of importance happens, because your nice little 75-minute story has to be on air for 90 minutes. 90 minutes is a *lot* of time, that's feature-film length (or at least it used to be before running time inflation went mad). If I were ever in charge, what I'd do is experiment with getting people to write a batch of 60-to-80-minute stories and then strip them across the total available running time. Episode 1 is the first 45 minutes of Story A, then you have a cliffhanger; then the first 15 minutes of Episode 2 finishes Story A and starts Story B, with a cliffhanger after 30 minutes of Story B; then the whole of Episode 3 is the end of Story B; then you start Story C to begin Episode 4, and so on. It's probably a complete production nightmare, but I'd love to see it tried.

Shame they shied away from either really giving Amazon's warehouse conditions both barrels, or dealing more in depth with the idea that humans need to do "work" to give their lives meaning after having raised it, but it'll still be nudging the kiddies to think about those things and what they think about them. That's three absolute crackers on the spin now.
