If BF can use stuff from the new series now, can Moff and Co. use elements from BF? The Eleven or Nobody-No-One onscreen would be GOAT.

No. It's illegal for BBC to expect someone to buy Big Finish to understand what's going on.

Of course, I bet Moffat can't wait to fill his scripts with elements created by legendary creative minds such as Matt Fitton and Nicholas Briggs.

What's wrong with Matt Fitton anyway? He hasn't written anything that wowed me, but he seems okay.
The more I think about Zygon two-parter the less I like it. It's ridiculously uncritical of its own premise.

No idea. I only know that he apparently got to watch this one episode early.
>>62629688
Well I don't usually post anytime around the episode air dates, but from discussions I have with people on and off season it seems /who/ has a pretty good taste overall. Obviously everyone's taste differs, I'm speaking in very broad terms. I don't have the link anymore, but when /who/ rated all the episodes it fit my tastes almost exactly.
Now I'm curious, what's your take on MA/WF and ZI/ZI? Actually, what would you rate each episode this series out of 10?
>>62629688
There's no wildly disagreeing opinions, the consensus has pretty much been that Apprentice/Familiar were shit and Invasion/Inversion was the closest to 10/10 NuWho has given us so far
>>62629882
Most hated Invasion but loved Inversion.

Are you looking for this pic?
I wasn't a fan of the opening two-parter. Too much of the first episode was wasted in getting the characters together, and when they did finally get to Skaro I didn't enjoy the actual story at all, apart from a few great character moments. It's all been discussed to death, really.
I liked Invasion, apart from the church scene. It was a good, pretty tense build-up with a real feeling that the story was taking place all over the world.
Inversion wasn't as good. There were still some good bits, but I'm really not sure about the resolution. While it gave Capaldi a chance to show off his acting chops by delivering a fine monologue, the actual end of the rebellion was a bit shite. My main beef is that Bonnie was nothing but a paper-thin, generic extremist who just did a 180 degrees turn because the Doctor pointed out that what she was doing didn't make much sense, and in the end even went so far as becoming another Osgood peacekeeper. I could have accepted that if the story had kept on being about UNIT fighting a rebellion, but if the whole point of your story is a moral argument you need stronger characters than that and a resolution that isn't just "the Doctor does a speech and all the other characters realize how wrong they were".
My ratings so far:
Apprentice 3/10
Familiar 5/10
Lake 7/10
Flood 6.5/10
Girl 7.5/10
Woman 6/10
Invasion 8/10
Inversion 5/10

Is David Tennant popular with people who aren't die hard Doctor Who fans?
It seems like Matt Smith became a pop culture icon as much as Tom Baker did during his day.
Now whenever you see a guy in suspenders, a bowtie, a fez, and a tweed jacket you automatically think they are trying to imitate "The Doctor" much like you'd think if someone were wearing a scarf with a similar pattern and a hat.
>>62634625
I remember them not really capitalizing on the Silence during Smith's tenure so perhaps they could tie up loose ends with that one.

David Tennant is more like that guy who has a following of women who only got into his work on Dr. Who because he is cute. You know, like how women like Pirates of the Caribbean movies just because Johnny Depp is good looking.
TL:DR David Tennant is the Johnny Depp of all Doctor Who.

I loved the bits of narration that he did at the beginnning, middle and end of End of Time Part 1. They were suitably epic and Dalton has a great voice. Say what you will about the episode, he was GOAT.
>It is said that in the final days of planet Earth, everyone had bad dreams.
>To the west of the north of that world, the human race did gather, in the celebration of a pagan rite to banish the cold and the dark. Each and every one of those people had dreamt of the terrible things to come.
>But they forgot, because they must. They forgot their nightmares of fire and war and insanity.
>They forgot. Except for one.
>And so it came to pass that the players took their final places, making ready the events that were to come.
>The madman sat in his empire of dust and ashes, little knowing of the glory he would achieve.
>While his saviour looked upon the wilderness, in the hope of changing his inevitable fate.
>Far away, the idiots and fools dreamt of a shining new future. A future now doomed to never happen.
>As Earth rolled onwards into night, the people of that world did sleep, and shiver, somehow knowing that dawn would bring only one thing.
>The final day.
>And so it came to pass, on Christmas Day, that the human race did cease to exist.
>But even then, the Master had no concept of his greater role in events. For this was far more than humanity's end.
>This day was the day upon which the whole of creation would change forever. This was the day the Time Lords returned.
>For Gallifrey.
>For victory!
>For the end of time itself!
>>62635560

Reminder that this narration is ironic, and each is applied to its opposite. The Doctor is the madman, the Master is his savior, and the Time Lords are the idiots.
>>62635560
Nah, it's some series set in America during the 1930s (?) Ridiculously good resemblance though.
I know we have a list of top tier episodes from NuWho, but do we have a list of avoid tier episodes that are just so bad that nobody would blame anyone for skipping over?

>What baffles me is that if Jenna Coleman can be this riveting to watch...why is she stuck playing the ceaselessly vanilla (if likeable) Clara?
>For the first time since her conception Kate Stewart is written as a person rather than a series of one liners. She's allowed to display genuine sentiment and not just sass. Is that because somebody else is writing for her aside from just Moffat? Very possibly.
>. A fresh and original approach that doesn't quite work is still a fresh and original approach. It could be tighter with stronger characterisation and stronger in it's sentiment but it is a stepping stone to a new type of new Doctor Who - one with a political agenda and driven by anger.

With Veil Yard probably
Does anybody think that NuWho at the moment has lost some of the sense of adventure that it used to have? Ten and Eleven brought across a sense of simple joy at visiting new places and seeing new things. The only time I can remember Twelve doing the same in recent memory is with respect to the ghosts in Under the Lake.
>>62636484
It would be awesome if Twelve faced Daleks, Cybermen, Zygons, the Master, Davros and th Valeyard in just two seasons.

For RTD's companions the mystery is hinted at and then becomes relevant to the plot at the appropriate time.
For Moffat's companions solving the mystery is THE plot from Day One
>>62638464
So?
>>62638461
we should switch to EastEnders tbqh
>>62638464
It's just a different approach to an arc. Moffat's are more actual arc-style storytelling. RTD's are simple hints that appear throughout the series. Bad Wolf was the entire S1 arc, and actually RTD had no idea what Bad Wolf was going to be until he wrote the finale, so he couldn't do more than hint anyway. But when you watch it back now you know it's Rose = Bad Wolf.
And it makes no difference to how special they are which RTD is just as guilty of making his companions, which is what you were complaining about in the first place. When Moffat solves his arcs the companions stick around after and it hardly gets referenced or has an effect on things. RTD mostly used it as a way to write them out, give them a whizz bang finale.
>>62638464
But it's okay when Big Finish does it!

>It seems like Matt Smith became a pop culture icon as much as Tom Baker did during his day.
Moffat is very good at making things marketable. Catchphrases and dress quirks are a goldmine.
>Now whenever you see a guy in suspenders, a bowtie, a fez, and a tweed jacket you automatically think they are trying to imitate "The Doctor" much like you'd think if someone were wearing a scarf with a similar pattern and a hat.
The difference being the long scarf was exclusive to Doctor Who. Matt Smith adapted an already popular fashion style from fucking hipsters. Most of those people aren't trying to mimic the Doctor. The ones that do probable do it because everything they need is easily accessible for them or they probably already have some things.
Basically, Matt Smith was a very marketable Doctor, but David Tennant is by far the most popular NuWho Doctor. Sad but true, here's hoping Capaldi dethrones him.

CLARA: “Is it a sad song?”
THE DOCTOR: “Nothing’s sad till it’s over. Then everything is.”
CLARA: “What’s it called?”
THE DOCTOR: “I think it’s called Clara.”

CLARA: fuck off cats
>>62639988
a reminder that Tennant will play the Curator for the 70th anniversary, he will also confirm that this is his favourite incarnation.
>>62640093
Moffat has realized the only way to boost ratings is to literally include Tennant in almost every episode someway, leading to having Tennant in the series semi-regularly
From someone else who read the Magazine, can anyone confirm?
>- 'Face the Raven' was initially going to be called 'Trap Street', and it features alien opinions on humans that are meant to be sincere. The 'raven' is to do with a tattoo on Rigsy's neck, counting down his remaining life (like that Justin Timberlake film, I guess).
- there's a scene in 'Heaven Sent' where the Doctor is collapsed in the TARDIS, and is imagining the TARDIS there only to explain what's really happening. The scene was the first one Capaldi filmed for the episode and is heart-breaking.
- not just more monsters to be announced for 'Hell Bent'; the cast list only notes Capaldi and Coleman, with 'many more' to be announced and Clare Higgins noted within the article.
- 'Hell Bent' draws together plenty of elements from across the series, even ones we didn't expect to matter.
I've omitted one part of this because it kind of gives away what the hybrid is (really strange how the magazine is spoiling a lot)
>>62640199
>it kind of gives away what the hybrid is
TELL US
>- the synopsis for the episode does state that the Hybrid in the prophecy is half-Time Lord, half-Dalek.
>>62640307
Woah. Did anyone predict that? Could it be the Doctor in the far future/different timeline?
Okay so reality check here.
Should I lower my expectations or just get aboard the hype train?
I mean in any case. For Doctor Who, but anything else too.

Lots of new info and a new pic with Maisie.
>>62640199
>'Face the Raven' was initially going to be called 'Trap Street'
>not 'Assault of the Benefactors'
>>62640307
This doesn't mean the prophecy requires an actual Dalek and an actual Time Lord, Moffat can surely turn this around(with his wonderful Moffucking)or he may be lying(even trying to pull of the most carefully orchistrated lie in all of his tenure)
>>62640021
I'm the real cats m8. You should be telling me to fuck off.
>>62640407
I made that title up, I'm happy you remember it :')
>>62640307
>>62640427
>Daleks again
Oh fuck off Moffat
>>62640524
What did you expect seriously?
>>62640389
>11 was meant to be a money saving episode but it didn’t quite work that way. It takes place in a “rotating mechanical castle full of visual effects”
Episode 11 is going to be weird. Does he literally mean that?
>We’re in a very interesting place, because we’re competing with bigger shows, frankly. Most American shows have four times the budget per episode that we have, but that’s what we’re up against. We’re competing with Game of Thrones… This is traditional for Doctor Who, but it goes to show what this amazing production team can achieve.”
Maybe the episode takes place on Gallifrey and we see the Doctor, Clara and Ashildr roaming around the streets of the planet while the war is taking place?
>Director Rachel Talalay says Moffat has layered in a lot of things throughout the series which you never thought were important – “You have no clue what the series arc is, or how Clara leaves”
Is she trying to hype us or does she really not know that we know the Hybrid is the arc?
>Episode 12 begins “very much like a Western”
Filmed in Fuerteventura, maybe it's the planet that War Doctor was on?
>The finale is the fallout of Clara sort of becoming the Doctor.
What is Clara really dies in the finale, not Face the Raven? That would be a twist.
>DWM hints that Moffat may have changed something in the mythology, something Moffat was quite nervous about doing
Please Moffat, don't screw this up horribly.
And surely, the prophecy isn't half timelord, half dalek, that's what Davros assumed, right?
>>62640389
JUST GIVE HER MORE SCREENTIME, ALL I ASK FOR.
>>62640540
Maybe an enemy that wouldn't be completely fucking useless every time they show up
>>62630375
How is it comfy? Some of his movies are really shit and not even in a funny way.
>>62637026
Cliches: The episode
>>62640491
No he should be telling me to fuck off But he's to much of a girl to fight me like cloister
The Absorbaloff should return as a finale villain.
We got details for the finale.
If that can't bring /who/ back to life, nothing can.
“You have no clue what the series arc is, or how Clara leaves”
so there is no arc
moffat makes out that his arcs are mysteries which you can solve but thats shite
he addds new shit at the end and then says "fooled you!"
no. you just didnt tell us anything significant you fanny
after the finale a wacky christmas story with Mrs Who
so a big fuking reset then or any forced drama to be forgotten right away?
>>62641145
>>62641167
why get buttmad over things you're imagining will happen when you can wait to get buttmad over what really happens
>>62641167
We still might get some emotional fallout. Look at The Runaway Bride, it's mostly Christmas fun, but it also deals with the consequences of the previous finale for the Doctor.
>>62641258
But that's what /who/ is all about. Plus? DON'T GET HYPE
>>62641167
Yes, let's mope whole season and fuck next companion's brain with MUH CLARA akin to season 3 MUH ROSE
Snowmen did it fine and it was a christmas romp
>>62641391
10 moped on and off during series 3. 11 moped offscreen for a century. I disliked both desu.
There's got to be a better way to show they've been affected by their loss without fucking MOPING.
>>62638054
>>62638157
"Davies vs Moffat" shit is genuinely hilarious, esp when you remember that Moffat was the only writer whose script Davies would never meddle with.
The only actual difference is instead of Davies' fixation with crass humor/cheesy Brian Yuzna-type body horror, Moffat has a hard-on for pseudo-fairytale imagery
>>62628346
>See a "How long will DW last for topic" on Leddit from googling
>First highest upvoted post starts with "I don't see Doctor Who conceivably getting cancelled until after at least 2025"
>2025
I'll be fucking surprised if it gets to 2018
>>62641648
>The only actual difference is instead of Davies' fixation with crass humor/cheesy Brian Yuzna-type body horror, Moffat has a hard-on for pseudo-fairytale imagery
Now, I agree that the constant showrunner wars are retarded, but let's not get carried away. That isn't "the only actual difference".
>>62641472
>There's got to be a better way to show they've been affected by their loss without fucking MOPING.
HERE'S YOUR DOG LEELA/ROMANA NOW FUCK OFF BYE I DON'T CARE
>>62641741
Oh yeah, I forgot Moffat's thing for "timey-wimey" plotting.
/who/ is my autism shelter. When people are being too autistic in real life I come here to get a good laugh.
>>62641035
Disappointed that nobody's either did a /who/-themed or Tumblr-themed edit/parody of the Abzorbaloff honestly.
For /who/ you could just shoop his face off and replace it with the "no image available" anon face.For a Tumblr parody you just shoop Phil Sandier's face on top.
Okay just a little question:
Would you rather hype an episode to no end and be disappointed or set your expectations as low as possible and be very pleasantly surprised?
>>62641887
I'd set my expectations low and be surprised.
>>62641887
Never hypeMaybe a bit
>>62641820
I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry.
>>62641887
>hype an episode to no end and be disappointed
Who would actually choose this on purpouse? That's retarded.
>>62641956
This worked for me funnily enough
>Expect Attack of the Cybermen to be HURR WORST SHIT EVER and its actually alright.
Could've been way better though.
>>62641776
Well, the show is about time travel. It's about time someone did something really timey-wimey with it.
>>62641887
I expect nothing and still disappointed.
>>62641956
>>62641986
>>62642000
>>62642003
Completely agree. Thanks for proving me I'm not autistic for not hyping and wanting to be surprised.
>>62641992
I know thanks. People I have to endure are just that retarded.
>>62641472
>There's got to be a better way to show they've been affected by their loss without fucking MOPING.
Yes. I have the perfect idea: when a companion leaves, don't make it tragic, make it bittersweet. Departures are supposed to be sad, yeah, but they don't need to be melodramatic. Not everybody who has TARDIS funtimes with the Doctor needs to meet a heartwrenching twist of fate.
>DWM hints that Moffat may have changed something in the mythology, something Moffat was quite nervous about doing
Episode 11 pushes the Doctor to the brink of madness, Ep 12 is what happens next “if the Doctor has lost his moral compass, if you got him really angry and gave him nothing to fight for – an angry, off the rails Doctor”
Get ready for...
..."i'm half human. On my mother's side".
All hail The Doctor, the man, the myth...THE HYBRID.
>>62642099
This.
>>62642119
I am still expecting Moffat to deal with that in some way, either by something hugely retarded like that, or by a throw-away line "I can't believe (s)he believed me when I said that!"
>DWM hints that Moffat may have changed something in the mythology, something Moffat was quite nervous about doing
Get hype.
>muh mythology
Autists are gonna get triggered.
>>62642278It's a new timelord biological ability called mitogeneration where the body splits and becomes 2 separate entities
>>62642099
>tfw The God Complex actually did this but they brought the Ponds back in 7A
>tfw the first part of The Power of Three seemed to be about Amy and Rory just getting on with their lives and starting to accept that it was time to leave the Doctor, but they still had the tragic departure in The Angels take Manhattan
Martha is still the only main NuWho companion to have a departure that wasn't completely tragic.
>>62642337
Surely we've already seen that inJourney's End?
>>62642372sort of, but at the end of episode 11 the doctor is mortally wounded, but instead of regenerating he is able to mitogenerate because he is on his second regeneration cycle. this is how the valeyard comes to be
>>62642278
>>muh mythology
>Autists are gonna get triggered.

FIRST PROMO IMAGE + JACK IS HINTED AT IN THE TWEET
>>62642278
I will make two (easy) predictions about it:
1) It will start with something like "remember how I said ____? I lied..."
2) It will then become the entire focus of a range of new Big Finish stories.
>>62642426
What's the tweet?
>>62627169
Thanks doc
>>62642444
Ooh nice trips
Also how long until BF get so desperate they descend to Star Wars EU levels with their spin-off series?
>>62639988
What? People that haven't heard of Doctor Who don't know who either of them are. The rest of what you said I never implied, in fact I said Tennant is the more popular Doctor. The fuck are you on about?
>>62642502
>Also how long until BF get so desperate they descend to Star Wars EU levels with their spin-off series?
What does that mean? I haven't been following the Star Wars EU.
Also, how are BF getting "desperate"?
>>62642426
>shitty photoshop of an image of Capaldi they've already released
they should fire whoever does these
>>62642553
The SW EU is infamous for making huge backstories for bit-part characters, and so far BF have made whole series for one-off (or completely EU) characters
>>62642621
Im never going to understand their decision to do a Vienna spin-off
>>62642099
I don't think Moffat (or RTD) can comprehend how leaving Doctor can be not tragic.
>tfw the next companion's era will be ruined because 12 will namedrop clara and mope every 5 minutes
Moffat and Capaldi snippet on Clara's departure from DWM
Mitoregeneration?
I thought the healing powers made the Doctor overpowered. They also created a situation where the Doctor would either had to give up some of his regenerations or let someone die.
>>62642718
>tfw anon is from the future
give me some winning lottery numbers pls
>>62642733
She betrays him
>>62642687
The reboot was intended to turn the show into a drama, not the same cheesy scifi it had been in the past. Tragic moments fit the genre Moffat and RTD are writing. Really unfortunate, because the more tragic ends we get the less of an impact they have.
I hatedAdric,but what happened to him was completely unexpected and had more of an emotional impact because every companion wasn't killed off or tragically removed prior to his departure.
>>62642831
Doubtful.
Prepare for disappointment as the 2015 Christmas special is titled 'Ho Ho Who', and its a comedic romp featuring emo 12, River Song and Captain Jack.
>>62642872
I am more appointed then ever.
>>62642733
Clara's departure should beTwelve kicking her out of the TARDIS because he feels their travels have become a negative influence.
