I mean, that’s a given, yes. But for this brief moment in time we’re singing Smith’s praises.

Very well done. I seem to recall someone doing this before, but this version is better. We're probably 10 years out from fan made deepfake or just AI algorithm full "live action" Big Finish recreations.

That was really sweet, the mouth movements stand out but it feels silly to hold that against it, it's a pretty wonderful scene and quite remarkably well put together.

finally gotten around to opening the season 14 boxset, and noticed on the back there's an asterix next to The Talons Of Weng-Chiang "* Includes language that may offend" which is fair enough really. but I'm just curious, is that new or was it there on the old DVDs too?

Okay, I know this is old, but Elizabeth Sandifer losing her poo poo at The Timeless Children made me laugh: http://www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/the-timeless-child-review/ As someone who agrees that the retcon was a bad idea... pretty sure the show will survive it, eh. P.S: Reading the comments was actually better than the blog, in a surprising twist, and it led me to this take: https://doctorofcolor.tumblr.com/post/612767048411611136/white-entitlement-and-doctor-who-aka-why-i-like Which I don't think *totally* works (for this interpretation to really land for me the Doctor's memory would have to be erased after she was experimented on, not after a long career in the Time Lord's equivalent of the CIA) and this comment, which I think is basically the opposite of what Chibnall was trying to do but a fantastic way to read this episode and make it more enjoyable (to a degree, it still lacks a lot of basic beats and mostly consists of exposition): quote:The Master believes he can destroy the Doctor by revealing a load of tedious lore and then trapping her in the Tardis Wiki. The Doctor defeats this plan by realising the tedious lore doesn't matter, and escapes by overwhelming the Tardis Wiki with the force of Doctor Who's bafflingly self-contradictory canon.

I mean, quote:It’s as if the Cartmel Masterplan hosed the Leekley Bible and then gave the illegitimate child away to Ian Levine to foster.

Oh that quote is funny, but the "Doctor Who is OVER" tone of most of the blog seems excessive to me. Just like any long-running property with world-shaking events (or even just... bad stuff that happens) it will either be ignored, retconned or built upon depending on the reception and whether writers have a good idea of what to do with it. I'm not a writer and I certainly know how I'd both canonize it and write around it, so I'm sure people who are more creative than me can also do something like that.

I particularly liked this bit: quote:Throughout the series I’ve been asking who this is for. Now we have our answer: Series 12 of Doctor Who is a lengthy missive to Ian Levine, groveling at his feet and begging him to come back. “I’ll do anything. I’ll do a fourth R of the Daleks story. I’ll bring back the block-headed Cybermen. I’ll confirm the Morbius Doctors. Just come back.” There’s nothing else here. No other message or insight into the world. Just fanwank for the sake of fanwank. Big revelations about lore that come down to “the fan favorite bits are absolutely the most important things in the series and we promise to never actually challenge or disrupt you in any way.” Finally, we can all see what The Rise of Skywalker would have looked like on a lovely BBC budget.

Replace "Just come back" with "Just give us the Mugabe copies of 'Power of the Daleks', 'The Abominable Snowmen' and 'The Evil of the Daleks'" and all might be explained!

The Wilderness Years gave rise to the Expanded Whoniverse, so I'd consider that a victory Just means there's more out there for people not satisfied with the show https://twitter.com/bbcdoctorwho/status/1262021122263924741

Chokes McGee posted:I mean I know we have literally every opinion on display in here but yikes. Yeah, she wrote such fantastic, in depth analysis of every episode of the classic series, then gave serious consideration to the books, comics, and audios that kept it alive for over 15 years. But as soon as she got to 2005, it was like nothing was "Real Doctor Who" except the new show. Clearly it was a narration she was trying to create, that everything before had led up to the moment when RTD brought it back, and that this new series was the culmination of that past and moved beyond it all to something greater. Problem is this theory holds no water when you see that post 2005 Big Finish continues to get better, advances the shared universe, is creatively on fire, and is part of the new show with post 2005 stories, actors, and characters. Not to mention it was literally canonized on screen. Saying Big Finish is just apocryphal glorified fan fiction is like saying none of the Christmas Specials or other specials count.

It's Doctor Who canon. None of it counts, except when it does, and then only briefly.

About 95% of the good stuff Big Finish has done was in the very early part of their catalogue, well before the revival started. Their entire goal since then has been to produce safe, unchallenging Doctor Who stories and I doubt Nicolas Briggs would dispute that characterization much. The production's gotten better, and they have more actors and access to revival-era content, but it's still mostly the same 4 writers writing the same 6 stories over and over and over and over again.
