He was the only bit of that episode I liked, but I liked him well enough to watch that episode more than once.

I need the 11th doctor seasons blue rays to get cheaper, and 12's. I'm still missing seasons 7, 8, and 10  also, annoyingly, I'm missing the first disk for season 5. Don't know how I'll replace that

The_Doctor posted:He’s also an alternate universe Doctor, so it cancels out. His debut story, Sympathy for the Devil (which also has Mark Gatiss/Sam Kisgart as the Unbound Master's first appearance - not to mention The loving BRIGADIER as a burn out retired UNIT officer due to The Doctor's exile ending him up in 97 instead, so he never got to work with UNIT and Tennant as a current UNIT officer - god that thing was star studded) is one of my favorites, rivaled only by Truant from the Unbound Universe stories with Bernice. He truly is a treasure and rapidly made the Unbound Universe one of my most looked forward to releases. Edit: Ok, I lied. This is now my new most looked forward to release.

I wrote for him as part of the Benny audio competition last year (didn’t win, obvs), but writing his Doctor and hearing his voice saying my lines in my head was a delight.

What are we talking about the other day? Story approval? BF just announced one of December's monthly range episodes, "Plight of the Pimpernel", where the Sixth Doctor meets the Scarlet Pimpernel, in a story that was suggested by Colin himself!

I’m up to the 11/Clara era in my rewatch and I really think 11’s speckled blurple jacket and waistcoat look might be my all-time favorite Doctor outfit. It’s the perfect mix of Edwardian professor and mad adventurer. I also think my previous opinion of Clara has been unfairly biased by her last season because she’s just great in this first season. The intro for this season is just visually perfect too, it’s the best of the Moffat years. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HQbYgj7ZBVI Put the Doctor’s face back in the intro Chibnall, you coward

Jerusalem posted:11's season 5 outfit was my favorite, I'd have been happy if they just stuck with that. 100%. It looks more natural - his latter ones are too...I dunno, 'costume-y'. Too designed. Same with his hair, which gets more slick and stylised. Relatedly, his acting starts to become more mannered after season 5. He's still wonderful at what he does, but there's a rawness to his first season that really works for me, and makes the whole season feel really special. EDIT like, he elevated all the material he was given and was great through and through, but he never topped this scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BUumw7f8EQ Barry Foster fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Aug 16, 2020 |

I think it fits 11 fairly well. As he grows and matures as a character so does his wardrobe. 11 was always a madman, but post-Amy he’s a lot more subdued and calculating. It reminds me of 7 going from that tan outfit with the constant juggling clown bits to his darker brown look toward the end.

I guess it's just personal preference that I prefer his first season, then - it was such a breath of fresh air after the final mopey Tennant episodes. Now that I think about it, it was probably the only season of the revival where he wasn't a) being sad about something that happened in a previous season or b) facing death (Moffat went back to this well over and over).

I think he's kind of the ultimate expression of the Doctor, really - he's like the archetypal version, at least for the revival. I didn't like the 'last regeneration' storyline when it was happening but it felt right that 11 was his last life. He's optimistic, goofy but with gravitas, young but really sells how incredibly old he is, etc. It also helps that 11 is a loving wizard, who makes 10 look like a chump and gives 7 a run for his money

He's definitely begins The Snowmen and The Bells of St John after an extended period of moping. If anything, they imply he does more moping than, say, Tennant.

Every Doctor has been great, but the Eleventh Doctor is the prototypical Doctor for the current era. Just so much going on, it’s hard to pinpoint where he’d go to next.

Maybe, but that’s a bit different from 10 constantly moping on-screen, bringing up Rose all the time around Martha and throwing a tantrum post-Waters of Mars. You also get the sense that when 11 does it it’s more like he’s quietly mourning his friends than 10’s loudly raging at the unfair universe.

I like Ten, but mopey is definitely a descriptor for his run. He goes from manically yelling about bananas to staring into the camera with wet eyes and doing the whole "I'm the last of the Time Lord, Rose. There's no one left, they all burned" thing all the time.

I feel like a lot of the writing for 13th episodes were assuming a 60 minute runtime and then had to be chopped down to ~45. The inciting incident for Orphan 55 just seemed whiplash inducingly fast. The "coupons" into the teleport into the Hopper virus thing felt like 20 minutes of story crammed into about 4

Barry Foster posted:That's an interesting way to put it - can you expand on that? Maybe from the second half of the Amy-Rory saga featuring River Song and all of the sidekicks, and it's hard for me to put my finger on exactly why I feel this, but everything around/after the Pandoricon and any of the stories that have the "and the doctor" narration just feel that way to me. I suppose even The Name of the Doctor has this too. The plots feel like comic booky romance adventures, many of the episodes have lots of rich colour design, and the tendency for "the whole gang" to show up (A Good Man Goes to War) goes that way as well. The way scenes unfold often has this vibe. I'm zoned out and tired right now so I'm not sure which examples I'm forgetting and/or imagining. This feeling is most pronounced in Moffat tentpost episodes, but it's there in Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, too.

11 is also extremely mopey and upset in the Day of the Doctor, which is hilarious considering he is bouncing of 10, who just seems more fun and lighthearted and The War Doctor who is meant to be the manifestation of MOPEY Doctor, and even he seems to be having more fun. I dunno if that was a product of them trying to set up the final episode for 11 or what. I just re-watched Day of the Doctor so it's fresh in my mind. I forgot how enjoyable the Tennant stuff was in it. Much prefer that 10th Doctor to "I AM THE WINNER OF ALL TIME" nonsense.

It also provides a neat little "explanation" (if you think it needs one) of why he's in such a good mood when he shows up at the beginning of The End of Time despite being terrified/freaked out at the end of Waters of Mars. He doesn't QUITE know why he's in such a good mood because the memory has already faded, but he just feels happy for some reason

I assume that's what James Goss's Time Lord Victorious is going to cover. Tennant in full villain mode sounds like a lot of fun. (I'm super super excited for this, btw. Since it's, you know, James Goss).

The_Doctor posted:For some reason I assumed the TLV stuff was an alternate timeline rather than filling a gap. Nah. Big Finish is no longer licensed to introduce new alternative universe Doctors. The Kisgart Master and Warner Doctor are the only ones they really have any more. I suspect the Warner Doctor is going to be looked back on as one of those weird, floaty offshoots that hung around for a while but basically vanished. (I don't think they're even allowed to regenerate him). But they're fantastic, and James Goss also produced them. He runs the Torchwood range too, and generally does a fantastic job all over the place.

I'm pleased that Day Of The Doctor didn't contrive a reason to put a lei on him at the end. Thinking about it, it's pretty funny the kinds of semi-sensible chronological orders you can wrangle the show into: Waters Of Mars(2009) > Day Of The Doctor(2013) > The End Of Time (2009) (partially set BEFORE Day Of The Doctor) > World Enough And Time/The Doctor Falls(2017) (next Master episode from his perspective) > Deep Breath(2014) (next Master episode from her perspective) etc

I think I prefer 70s Who to 2005. I watch on and off but it's just a bunch of people screaming, loud noises, and one liners. "Hands? Who needs hands, when you got CLAWS." I mean it's good but the subtle ambience of low budget nick at night style tv is I think more soothing. I even liked the first doctor quite a bit.
