Why so quickly after bump limit m8?
>>63334055
Except most aren't shit.
Most are passable episodes (Christmas Invasion, Runaway Bride, etc)
Some are episodes clearly a lot of effort was put into it, with some hailing them as really good, and others not being fans (Last Christmas, Time of the Doctor)
One is universally regarded as brilliant (A Christmas Carol)
And some - a minority - are flat-out shit (Wardrobe, Voyage)
Overall it's literally the exact same track of quality as normal episodes. Mostly fine, some great, some controversial, a few shit.
Reminder that this is the last day of /who/. After tonight, we join our friends at /got/ in Valhalla.

So, where did we get on the Doctor being the hybrid? Any sort of general consensus?
>>63334122
Probably half-human.
Also likely it's left vague.
Unlikely that it's too convoluted, like it being "Me" not me.
>>63334097
Keep this crap in the last thread
>>63334107
You really would've gotten it too, but mod gets overrule. They even deleted the thread too
>>63334139
>too convoluted
>for Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat
It's going to be Me and you know it.
>>63334163
>le moffat sucks meme
>>63334097
>A Christmas Carol
>universally regarded as brilliant
>Voyage
>flat-out shit
Not that anon, but no
>>63334107
At least we got those Troughton sexts a few days ago. Also, never forget this one.
>>63334139
That's probably the least convoluted thing I've ever heard
>>63334157
>They are widely regarded as passable to good.
So are Rose Tyler and River Song.
>>63334183
A Christmas Carol is regarded as brilliant and it was the highest ranked Christmas special in DWM and by /who/.
>>63334200
You are making absolute no point. Is your point that you personally don't like them? Nobody gives a fuck about you.
>>63334173
I like Moffat but his plots can get convoluted as fuck.
>>63334214
go to bed BBC
>>63334139
Yeah, I am kind of hoping Me was just a red herring.
I'm half hoping he's lying about himself, too. Just trying to get the Time Lords worked up so execute some masterstroke plan. There not being any hybrid would be hilarious, a nice little twist from the norm where any visual media that references prophecy is concerned.
Although another possibility that occurred to me was Time Lady Clara who helped the first Doctor pick his Tardis. She's...well, one could make the case that she's neither human, nor Time Lord, but a little of both in essence, even if not in genetics.
>>63334183
voyage is doodoo m8
>>63334216
Not if you pay attention.
This is what I don't get - people say that Moffat Who is hard to follow. Do you people actually watch the show? I've never had an issue.
>>63334210
Voyage of the Damned is the highest rated episode of NuWho ever ;)
>>63334214
>EVERYONE LIKE IT SO THAT MEANS IT'S GOOD!!!
Nice appeal to the masses, bro.
Transformers is wicked good!
>>63334232
I doubt he would go to his grave a billion or whatever times to protect that the secret that there wasn't a hybrid.
>>63334210
The time travel makes no fucking sense and I don't care what /who/'s overall opinion is. So not universal
>>63334250
Yeah, subtle RTD. Real fucking subtle.
>>63334232
I agree with everything you posted.
It's possible Time Lady Clara was just a Gallifreyan let in the Citadel for some reason.
>>63334216
Eh, Series 6 was the last time he went full complicated (Time of the Doctor a bit too).
>>63334231
The show literally isn't made for people like you. If it ever satisfies you, it is just a coincidence.
>>63334232
IIRC Moffat once said in DWM she was just a normal gallifreyan and probably died. Doubt we'll be revisiting that.
>A Christmas Carol
>brilliant
why didn't those creatures from Father's Day come out and attack when the Scrooge type character touched his younger self?
flying sharks driving a sleigh accompanied by whimsical Disney-esque bullshit music. The Flying Jesus Doctor moment of the Moffat era. an absolute nadir.
>>63334250
Not to the general audience it's not. or the ratings
>>63334259
>The time travel makes no fucking sense
Real time travel looks like Primer, asshole. Doctor Who would be entirely unwatchable if even slightly accurate.
>>63334271
>It's possible Time Lady Clara was just a Gallifreyan let in the Citadel for some reason.
>>63334273
>IIRC Moffat once said in DWM she was just a normal gallifreyan
Samefag
>>63334276
>caring about father's day the worst episode of S1
>>63334259
He travels back in time to make Kazran a nicer person so they can save the crashing ship.
Do you have an issue with the original A Christmas Carol novel by Dickens by chance?
>>63334188
>Troughton sexts
ayy bby u wan sum buf?
>>63334303
no desu the worst episode is the farting alien 2 parter
>>63334258
As the doctor pointed out, when you're being interrogated, you're the most important person in the room.
Extrapolate from there how useful you are when the interrogation is over.
>mfw Clala gets a TARDIS
I don't know what I'm more excited for the spinoff or the apoplectic sperging
>>63334253
Actually they're sort of easier to follow if you don't pay that much attention. It's usually clear what the immediate situation is, but if you start asking questions about how it all fits together you run into all sorts of paradoxes and nothing makes sense.
>>63334298
Why would that be samefag? Are you feeling ok m8?
>>63334276
Okay Scrooge, we get you hate Christmas.
>>63334327
sounds like every episode of the show desu senpai
>>63334322
that episode was ok desu
>>63334321
all I am hearing is Pat saying that with the accent he used when hen played Salamander in Enemy Of The World
>>63334370
but the other episodes were better because they didnt have farting aliens and pigs
>>63334276
More like "why didn't Kazran get zapped when he hugged himself"he had already become too much of a different person for the Blinovitch effect to kick in.
>>63334289
>Doctor Who would be entirely unwatchable if even slightly accurate.
It violated its own rules anon, that's why it makes no sense.
>>63334304
>He travels back in time to make Kazran a nicer person so they can save the crashing ship.
All well and good except for the violating its own time travel rules. He's part of established events but he's just zipping back and forth between two times where one of them is changing yet is only c0hanging one person's memories and attitude.Don't care if it's Dickens, Doctor Who time travel violates its own rules to emulate it
>>63334405
He's in Timelord Victorious mode.
>>63334276
>why didn't those creatures from Father's Day come out and attack when the Scrooge type character touched his younger self?
This has been explained by /who/ countless times, but I'm not going to even bother. I'll just say that if that actually bothers you, you're autistic as hell.
>>63334424
>yfw in Hell Bent The Doctor travels back in time to make Ashildir a nicer person
kekekekekeekekekty
>>63334405
It's fuck with Kazran or lose the Ponds. Doctor gonna Doctor, regardless of your "rules" senpai.
>>63334372

>>63334289
>Real time travel
>>63334426
because as we age, the cells in our bodies die and are replaced, down to atoms themselves.
Touching yourself from yesterday is a problem. From 20 years ago, not so much.
>>63334458
*rotation.
I fucked up.
>>63334480
The correct answer is that those creatures were a one-off monster and only mattered for that episode
>>63334480
I'm not on Team Reapers, but Rose was hardly born yesterday when she touched herself.
>>63334454
It's fuck up and create paradoxes and alternate timelines that don't happen cause they're ignoring and disregarding it to keep stuff light and Christmasy. and not "my" rules, Doctor's mentioned before about changing time when being part of events, even brought it up in Before the Flood
>>63334510
>touched herself.
Heh.
>>63334458
>>63334487
fuck my sides
>>63334523
Yeah, figured I'd give my metaphors a good mixing there.
Reminder that 12 will slap the General so hard he's going to regenerate into a black woman.
hey, what episode was it where the Doctor wound up with two sonics from different time zones, and touched them together, creating a spark?
>>63334611

Last thirty seconds are bizzare non-sequiter leading into Christmas Special
>>63334668
i really hope capaldi sings in the diner
he has a great voice
>>63334665
>>63334668
Why is Simm's Master being alluded to a bad thing?
And you forgot Sumpter is Rassilon, Rassilon doesn't get mentioned, Clara is The Woman, Clara is the Doctor's mother
>>63334668
Doctor meets his human mother.
Time Lady Clara meets human Clara.
Capaldi uses guitar as a weapon.
Some version of the Master appears and becomes Missy.
Susan appears.
>>63334713
i don't think it's supposed to be a bad bingo
just a general bingo for stuff
>>63334730
>Capaldi uses guitar as a weapon.
holy shit that would be GOAT
>yfw he uses it as a BAT and whips the fuck out of the timelords
>>63334744
Hell yeah man, that would be fucking epic! Maybe the Doctor could get a gun and shoot em too! Imagine a massive Citadel explosion! Fuck yeah, that's what Doctor Who is about!
>>63334744
>>63334730
how would he have the guitar on Gallifrey
I really really really want to see Missy today.
>>63334744
It's too much to hope that he uses it against another person, too out of character, probably a little over the line for the show's intended audience. But there's so many random MacGuffins he could hit with it.
>>63334766
Lord of Time. Doesn't have to explain shit.
Also, they'll recall his Tardis or whatever.
>>63334768
Well too bad. She only gets a mention.

The Other
If missy was in the episode, would Gomez be in the cast list? Or are there times where actors go uncredited for a surprise?
>>63334870
It's nice to imagine the BBC could manage to pull off that kind of surprise, but...I doubt it.
>>63334870
As much as I want her in it, I'm sure she would be listed in the billing.
Was julian Bleach in the cast list for TMA before the episode aired? We didn't know for sure Davros was going to be in until a trailer leaked hours before the episode aired
>>63334901
nope
>>63334870
Why would they care about keeping it a surprise? They announced her being in the opener, just like they've already shown Ashildr's in the finale. They would want to hype it up for more viewers if she was in it.
What kind of drugs did Rose like best?
How's this?

Cloister Wraiths.
do you think 12 will kiss clara today?
>>63334983
Clara gets too many mentions. Replace Clara is Doctor's Mother with Me is Doctor's Mother. I could see a Time Lord falling for an immortal, and we know she was fertile hundreds of years into her life, so presumably will remain so forever.
...
I wonder if her hymen gets healed every time.
>>63334973
Concentrated Aphid extract laced with insecticide
>>63334992
if it ain't me kissing clara then who cares
>You've said before you see the Doctor and Clara's relationship as platonic, but some of the writers, [showrunner] Stephen Moffat especially, have said quite the opposite, that there's a romantic entanglement there. How do you approach that kind of creative difference?
>Well, I always feel one of the key things about The Doctor is that he's not human. So to constantly weigh up how he conducts himself in human terms is not quite accurate. But we tend not to -- We disagree very little. And what you know, you can hold an opinion. The material is so robust that we can both disagree and both be satisfied on what we do.
>The thing about acting is the lines are one thing, and then there's always spaces in between the lines, which is where a lot of the acting goes on. So an actor has to be constantly in flux, has to constantly be changing. So it's good that we have different ideas. It's about how it should be. Because if it was just my ideas, it would be dumb. So it's the combination of lots of different ideas that make it better.
>>63335019
>I wonder if her hymen gets healed every time.
ewww Best not to think of that anon.
>>63334983
Swapped two to prevent an impossible bingo
>>63335019
I've already got Ashildr is the doctor's mother on there. There's a lot of clara because there's been a ton of rumors about her, but you're welcome to suggest some replacements
>>63335052
Oh, shit, missed it. Of course, contradictory ones make a blackout impossible, that's sad.
Ah...The General is the Doctor's father.

>>63334668
Episode is a crushing disappointment.
my prediction
episode will be mixed bag like all finales but will have enough GOAT stuff for it to at least be good tier
>>63335130
>>63335161
>>63335182
Nah, it's almost here, what would be the point. I will say thatRassilon is definitely in it.
>>63335218
Is his name actually said in the episode?
Also, does Clara stay dead? Like the Clara we know from Series 7/8/9?
That's all I want to know.
>>63335218

>>63335123

I'll say this and no moreGallifreyan neural block device
>>63335268
12 hours before it airs. Man I still have 24hrs and 20 odd minutes. before i get to see it
I kind of want the series to come full circle. Capaldi's our first older Doctor in a while, let's get back to the older Doctor thing--including his choice in companions.
The person regenerating is the Woman, who is Susan, who becomes young enough physically to travel with him again, and they snag a couple of teachers after the Christmas Special.
>>63334326
>post-sex clara
>>63335315
POST THE LINK YOU CUNT
I'm going to change the rassilon tile
All things considered it is more likely for him to be mentioned or shown in some form than completely ignored
>>63335315
So how will /who/ react to the episode then?
>>63335019
>I wonder if her hymen gets healed every time.

If Half-Human is made definitive canon how much more watchable would that make the TV movie to you guys?
Writing a series of Doctor Who scripts, anyone wanna help? itll be fun
>tfw we don't get russian leaks a few hours before the episode airs anymore
the dubs made them unwatchable for dialogue but I liked getting a quick peak at the episode
>>63334057
Where's that so-called "leaked" series 9 soundtrack listing that I think went like "Confession Time", "Who's the Hybrid?", "Clara, My Clara (Vocal Track)", "In Which We Meet Miss Song"
>>63335436
it was bullshit fake shit m8
>>63335389
It's put on iView after the UK airing
And honestly there should be no shame in torrenting it -
if your house doesn't have one of those data logging boxes, you viewing the episode live isn't counted in the statistics of viewers. Since ABC is a non commercial network, watching the episode without ads via internet isn't any different to how you would have been made to view it had you watched it on TV. You're not cheating the ABC out of any money, nor are you cheating any corporation out of exposure
>>63335397
>implying I consider it unwatchable at present
The Eighth Doctor Adventures will be a lot more fun, though.
>>63335415
I am not into the New Who Doctors so much but I am working on a couple of short stories now. I am using the 4th, 5th and 7th Classic Doctors. While also writing a Dalek trilogy for my brother and his new set of regeneration Doctors. The actors he decided to use were Martin Freeman (9th) and Dominic Monaghan (8th).
>>63335481
I don't go anywhere near torrents these days. I might try out that iview thing though. Thanks for that kind anon
>>63335567
>I don't go anywhere near torrents these days
lol why?
>>63335567
My series is not sepcific to any Doctor and I'm looking for people to write stories for some empty spaces I can't fill if you wanna help
The Doctor reveals the Hybrid is the Cyber Brig. Missy then comes out of “the barn” (actually her TARDIS). She reveals she is pregnant – she has shagged Davros. Her child is revealed to be… The Doctor! He can’t cope with this revelation, so plays his guitar. An Ood comes along and sings to him (no one knows why but it makes the scene more “emotional”). Just as Missy is about to kill her “son” the Cyber Brig suddenly arrives – it has taken him two billion years to fly to Gallifrey. He shoots Missy and she regenerates into… Rose. This confuses The Doctor. Me then appears and says she is the Nightmare Child. She singlehandedly starts to burn Gallifrey to the ground. The Doctor looks suitably angry / agonised / wistful / frowny (delete as appropriate) and then saves Gallifrey by turning his guitar into a sonic something and playing. The music renders Me unconscious, the Cyber Brig locks her up to share a cell with a rather old and bored Morgaine, and Rose smiles and says she will always love him. The Doctor puts on his specs, raises his hoody and goes “Who’s da man?!”

Eccleston appears because it's been 10 years since the start of new Who and it's the most awesome, best kept secret on the show in forever. He is credited in the opening and his theme song plays during the episode.

not atm sorry only because I am not a dependable writer or person. I write a lot of stuff from Fan-fiction to original stuff and i have 32 projects opened at the moment while also writing a lot of poetry. With life I don't get much time to write.

Series 10 will have an experimental episode featuring only Capaldi. In it the Doctor sits alone in a darkened room getting drunk while watching low-grade pornography on a stolen laptop. He talks to himself throughout in an increasingly rambling, self-hating and foul-mouthed manner - slipping in a lot of fan-pleasing continuity references and eventually revealing a dark secret that will change everything. Forever.

Why that job would comfy as for the old soldier. I think he would be loving it. He has a chance to not be a one off showing Doctor and expand his character, which let's be honest, for as important as he is what we saw in TotD was very poor. Moffat pulled his River trick, we saw his end before we knew his beginning

Not gonna happen mate, that's even less likely than anything on that bingo card.
>>63336655
Yup. Funnily enough, Hurt actually serious went on about how much he liked Brigg's scripts for the first volume. He didn't say that about the 50th (he said he had fun filming it but never commented on the script itself). So I'm pretty hype.

Was there any hype with T-Baks appearance in DotD
>>63336805
Of course!
>>63336870
>Was there any hype with T-Baks appearance in DotD
Maybe not, but that was 1. the 50th Anniversary, instead of just an ordinary season finale, and 2. This is Eccleston we're talking about, he's not coming back any time soon. We'll be lucky if he changes his mind soon enough be the curator for the 75th or something.
Who's the woman on the right? Was Nicola Bryant being threatened when her photo her was taken?

Maybe he just didn't have time for the 50th.
Maybe he regretted not appearing and asked Moffat for a role in the 10th.I can dream.
>>63337087
>Was Nicola Bryant being threatened when her photo her was taken?
Colin would choke her if she didn't pose.
>>63337120
TOP AYY. good show.
Now, I wish someone would reupload the Keff style version of "I Am The Doctor"
>>63337049
yeah I guess so. Although I'm not expecting Chris to return to the role ever. From what I have seen and read about him in interviews and what -not, he doesn't seem the type of actor and person to go back on what he says. When he says he is done, I believe him. I for one really don't care. It would be great and all but if he doesn't care well... we shouldn't either.

Moffat on getting Eccleston for the 50th:
>"I knew that Chris was almost certainly going to say no. I met him a couple of times and he was absolutely lovely. He met with me because he didn’t want to say no through his agent or a phone call or email. He wanted to do it personally. And I three-quarters talked him into it."
"So I started a version of it but I got to a point where I could go no further unless it was going to be him. I went for another meeting with him and he decided no. His reasons are his business and he’s a very private man. But it’s reasonable to say he really cares about Doctor Who. He’s well versed in what’s happened since he left, and happily chatted away about Amy Pond by name. "
>“I sort of knew that he wouldn’t. I know Chris a bit. I did a couple of meetings, and there was a moment, I suppose, a giddy moment where [I thought] ‘Would he actually do it?’ This wasn’t the kind of decision he took in a funk or that he was cross. He was very measured, very kind, very gentlemanly about it. He’s a good bloke. If you look at Chris’s career, this is not what he does. The Ninth Doctor turns up for the battle and not the party."

I have read that multiple times but it still doesn't convince me about Chris and we also can't really tell how much of a spin Steven was putting on it (for all we know he could be a terrible judge of character.) I base my opinion on all the sources available. Evaluate them on their authenticity and reliability. Then scale them. Then find the average outcome for my final opinion.
I like many want to hope and dream (for the sake of awesomeness and continuity) but I have no time for Eccles.

The thing you guys are forgetting is that when he's doing interviews, he'd rather talk about the actual thing he's promoting. It's frustrating as fuck when they'd rather talk about something he did a decade ago, then what's he's trying to actually currently make a living off of.

Mark Strong looks like a slander Terry Jones with hair. It's unsettling. These people were made for baldness.

>>63337563
I am not forgetting that. I can see what and why he holds himself as he does but he also has to accept the interviewers are going to ask what ever questions they want. He can always get his agent to review the questions before the interview or have a contract written up requesting the interviewer not to mention anything about Who. He should just remain professional and wade through the idiot media. He is not the first or the last or even the most popular or important actor to be plagued with this situation.
>>63337728
Didn't McGann have prior commitments.
>>63337728
How many times do you people need to hear this?
Paul McGann was busy as fuck and had other obligations in Spain. The fact that he was even able to film that minisode and appear in 5ish was a fucking miracle. He's even said as much. The man is still an actor and when you're an adult with a career, you stick to your commitments. This is a reality you guys need to fucking understand.
I just watched Face the Raven and Heaven Sent back to back.
Face the Raven didn't do much for me on second viewing. Heaven sent, however... just Damn. The music. Murray Gold seriously knocked it out of the park.
I remember other episodes of Who winning Saturn Awards or some such, and I certainly hope Heaven Sent gets such recognition.
>>63337810
Heaven Sent will likely be the star child for awards this series
>>63337836
I deserves it. I thought the immediate "Greatest episode Ever" was a bit hyperbolic, but man.. it's damn well in the top 5.
>>63337799
It's not like he never talks about it at all

I also own this book, just checked: it's Fiona Cumming, director of Enlightenment and Planet of Fire.
>>63337611
And weren't the same robots voiced by Mitchell and Webb in the dinosaurs one?
They probably just repaint the same two robot props.

Calm down m8. Paul McGann fans aren't a hivemind.
>>63337986
You don't give this show enough credit. They're definitely not the same.

Granted but it is what he has said against it is what his marker is. You can not deny it. And what was stopping him being in the 50th, really.
You guys, when we last saw the Doctor, he was standing on Gallifrey.
We should be hyperventilating or something.

if we'd been hyperventilating for a week straight we'd probably be dead by now

Sometimes I wonder if I HAVE died and that hell is just continuing as if nothing happened.
>>63338170
I'm not hyperventilate at anything, least of all at anticipation of sucktitude of cosmic proportions.
>>63338221
well, given the title of the next episode...

Apparently the Beeb are in possession of some paint with reality-altering properties to it, then. All three types of robot suit are pretty different from each other. The SJA automata are slender, while the Mitchell and Webb bots are bulky as fuck, but this new one goes above and beyond and looks like something out of W40k. There are some similarities to the M&W bots, so I guess they used one of the suits as the base and stuck new stuff to it, but it's not exactly like they're trying to ruse us the with orange space suit again.
so this exists:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-hn5FEqw7g
>>63338253
There is no apparent similarities between M&W bots, but it really looks like buildup on SJA-bots. Probably have the same propmaker or reusing the same material.
>>63338107
I mean, it's rather obvious they used the Dinosaurs on a Spaceship suits as a basis for this one, it's literally the same built, but they altered/added enough stuff to make it seem suitably new again.
>>63338294
kinda wish it didn't
So, the title Magician's Apprentice and Witch's Familiar might make a smidgin of sense...
but what does Heaven Sent refer to? ..even odder given that Capaldi directly referenced Hell instead.
Am I being stupid or 12th doesn't have a catchphrase
>>63338296
>There is no apparent similarities between M&W bots
But there is. The SJA version is completely different, but you can tell it's the DoaS type with some new parts.

>>63338360
We've evolved past the need for catchphrases, now we have memes. 12's meme is playing a guitar.
>>63338341
"heaven sent" means someone arriving at just the right moment. Which he more or less did. Over and over again.
>>63338294
Oh wow.
>>63338384
I think reusing the Two Streams facility's garden as Missy's Promised Land and the town of Christmas as Truth Or Consequences (christ, what a name) was far more lazy and obvious. Then again, this is the show that spent half the time its Classic era in the same old gravel quarry each week.
>>63338377
He never uses that though. Closest would be "Shut up!", but that's not really a special thing to say
