Most affecting "Doctor Dies" audio is a Seven story that I won't give away, but has "death" in the title. The companions' grief in that one felt so real, and then it goes  for other reasons. Holy poo poo that was good."Heaven Sent" holds that same kind of feeling throughout, which makes the ending of "Hell Bent" feel like even more of a cop-out. (Although I'm not as mad about that as I probably should be.) It also has one of the realest lines I've ever heard in Doctor Who: Heaven Sent posted:It's funny, the day you lose someone isn't the worst. At least you've got something to do. It's all the days they stay dead. I think about that line a lot.

Clara's ending was definitely more a problem in execution than in concept, and I was much happier when the Bill re-do, since it bookended the season (and Bill's run).

At this point, I think we can say that "timeless child" referred to the Doctor's own fears in general, as opposed to being abandoned Arc Words.

marktheando posted:Nobody talks about Planet of Giants but it’s one of my favourite Hartnells. It’s a fun story with charmingly terrible special effects. "Planet of the Giants" is total peak Hartnell. No technobabble solution, no new superpowers. Just the Doctor and his friends breaking poo poo and starting fires until the Bad Guys' plan falls apart and/or they explode. "Dalek Invasion of Earth" is also a good example of this, for that matter.

fist4jesus posted:Edit: The plastic men, have HAND guns, ho ho ho. Its just terrible. But fun somehow and Rose is immediately believable. The OG Autons also had hand guns. It's a kind of visual shorthand that we're going to be celebrating and building on the original show, goofiness and all, rather than seeing it as an embarrassment.

You're right, that scene was utterly disgusting and easily one of the lowest points of the Moffat era. Especially with a framing narrative that's supposed to make Davros more sympathetic!Davros1 posted:What about the Doctor stealing Davros' chariot? That's literally stealing a person's wheelchair and mocking them.

Like Moffat, JNT's first and last seasons were his best, so Season 18 is a fantastic choice.

Astroman posted:Like when I watched Remembrance in 89, as awesome as the rest of the episode was, that static globe made me cringe. Hold on, I got this... It looks like a static globe because that's what it is. Due to a severe lack of resources from their own civil war (ironically mirroring the Thal/Kaled war), the Daleks had only a limited range of time travel capability at this point. (The Time Corridor seems to require the power source of a functioning starship or space station, and we only saw their TARDIS-like timeship once, so it was likely a one-of-a-kind prototype lost forever thanks to the navigational skills of Bad Math Dalek). They could only jump forward or backward a few decades. The static globe was similar enough to touch-based display technology (that the Daleks have for whenever they need to show something to inferior species with their useless, useless "hands") that they snagged it from the near future and modified it with Space Tech. It's no different than the Tenth or Eleventh Doctors making Space poo poo out of household objects. As for how they acquired the static globe, please consult my pulse-pounding tie-in novel Radio Shack of the Daleks. After The War fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Mar 26, 2019 |

Like 90% of Classic Who is about mining/labor/land rights disputes and more franchises can learn from that.

I found their cut of Caves of Androzani! (Bearing in mind that Morgus is a business owner, and not officially part of the government in any way.)

Box of Bunnies posted:"The TARDIS is landing in random places out of the Doctor's control because women don't know how to computer!" Now I want someone to say this on the show so Whittaker can reply with "Total nonsense! I've never known how to fly this thing!"

I can't stand it, I'm going off with an unearthly child to join the Tribe of Gum and forget all about it, because there's no TV in 100,000 BC. But the old-school titles can be so prescient! For instance,  is great because it's always true.

I know that Doctor Who by its nature is incompatible with the idea of a "canon," but if there were one it drat well better include that.
