this picture makes me so hard

the look in their eyes, you just KNOW they banged

Mark Gaypiss is known to be THE most hung guy in the BBC, possibly one of the biggest in the world. his cock has been described as "like an sonic screwdriver", with gargantual thickness that would rival Steven Mofftwat and Rustle My Davies. im estimating his size to be at least 8.5" bone pressed, with OVER 7" of girth. he would have absolutely destroyed Shearsmith's anus.

they would have spent hours and hours on foreplay, Reece getting himself wet enough just so she can take it. i can just imagine him begging for it, with Mark barely able to force it past the knob, and Reece moaning and squirming, demanding him to force it in deeper. he would have orgasm'd within seconds of taking the entire length, being filled and stretched right up to his small intenstine. the orgasm would have been powerful, with his anal muscles clamping down on Mark's throbbing monstrosity, his whole body quivering in euphoria..

i bet he still masturbates to the memory of it

Guys, i'm confused.

If you look at every single episode this season, they all pair up in terms of names (and theme), except for 9 and 10?

I know this season is all about doubles, so why have they decided to fuck it up just for this one episode? Is Mark Gatiss really that fucking awful (spoiler: he is), or are Ravens related to sleep in some kind of lore?
>>
>>62729006
What's the problem? Sleep No More is a good episode, one of the best of this series at any rate.
>>
>>62729123
every nuwho doctor gets bad scripts
>>
So that entire episode was an excuse to infect Clara with something and have absolutely zero pay off.
>>
>>62729185
I use one of those to separate egg yolks.
>>
>>62729193
After every single episode airs there are a few hours of one or two posters claiming it is the worst thing ever and the show is dead again and again and again.
>>
>>62729191
raven leads into episode 11
>>
>>62729191

Sleep No More and Face The Raven are simply the only sinlge installment episodes this series. No mystery here.
>>
>>62729193
Are you fucking kidding me? I thought the first Zygon episode was shit, like 4-5/10, but this episode was BEYOND awful.

Found footage is an awful method of cinematography, and that soulless ginger cunt should be shot and hanged for thinking it would be a good idea.
>>
Well, at least Clara dies next week.

They have to be professional and sell the show.
>>
>>62729244
no raven leads into episode 11
>>
>>62729193
>>62729221

It's not that it's the worst thing ever; it's simple one of the weakest episodes this series, and I usually don't enjoy Gatiss episodes to begin with. I feel like he hasn't dane anything great since The Unquiet Dead, adn that was 10 years ago now. I think he ust needs to take a break.
>>
What did I just watch?

How is that video going to be transmitted if the ship is destroyed? Are the Sandmen "real" in the sense that they're golems of carnivorous dust? Or is it a mind virus that transmits through Morpheus, and the golems were just "for effect", as the Doctor put it? How did the Doctor save Clara and the commander?
>>

the series is not about doubles

thats just an egregiously autistic theory put about by american robot women

WHY THE FUCK IS GATISS STILL ALLOWED TO WRITE FOR DOCTOR WHO?
>>
>>62729280
Were you not paying attention? Were you shitposting while watching? They said time and time again that it was evolving, the evil scientist explicitly said at the end that they had evolved to the point where they can be transferred via electrical signals and images.

The Doctor didn't save anyone, they just got to the TARDIS at the end thinking they had won, but they lost.

I'm wondering the same. It is like he blew his creative load with his Big Finish stories, and he has been scrambling to cobble anything remotely that good together ever since.

Nah you're right m8, none of those episodes look like doubles to me.

Next you'll be telling me it has nothing to do with hybrids either.
>>
>>62729451
See >>62729221

The shitposting that you get during and immediately after every episode is the single least representative sample you can possibly get for /who/.
>>
>>62729419
I would like to see a DW story set around an 80's a horror show/film. They could have deliberately old fashioned SFX, make in-jokes, good time all round
>>
>>62729247
So you didn't like it because of the cameras? It worked within the context of the episode, and made the ending punchier.
Gatiss writing for Shearsmith in a horror episode? God-tier. Both were on form as far as I'm concerned; the black-dark edge they made their names on crossed with a family show and they pulled it off perfectly.
So no, I'm not kidding you and I think it's a really good episode. It was something different in Doctor Who which at this point can only be a good thing.
>>
So the signal made it to earth and it was all an elaborate ruse? Doesn't that mean all of humanity is now dead? Wouldn't the doctor notice that and just block the signal?

If the sleep dust monsters never existed, why did he turn into dust at the end? If they did exist is clara just dead now and we're forgetting about it?

Why was there a to be continued message if this was a single episode?
>>
did I miss a part where clara also has a camera why does it keep cutting to her viewpoint
>>
>>62729482
>>62729484
I had fun watching it, so I count it a success.

>>
>>62729219
You know you can use a squeezy ketchup bottle to do it, right? It's just as easy.
>>
>>62729447
nothing against him personally, but he shouldn't write for who, it just takes up a story slot for mediocre stories.
>>
>>62729374

Why do they need to be transferred if they already exist in everyone's eye?

>The Doctor didn't save anyone, they just got to the TARDIS at the end thinking they had won, but they lost.

Then why is Clara alive in the next episode?
>>
>>62729526
Have you actually watched the whole episode?
>>
>>62729526
she fell asleep in the morpheus machine
>>
>>62729554
no there's 15 minutes left
>>
>>62729523
Disregard last question, I didn't actually read
>>
>>62729487
so it would be like the monster week episode of Supernatural then, except shit because Steven Moffat would try to do something clever and end up being retarded.
>>
>>62729550
The episode literally ends with Clara opening the door to the TARDIS and getting in. They get out alive, but the Doctor fails to save any of the soldiers.

The scientist is sending this message as a signal all across the solar system, spreading it everywhere. The normal Morpheus models on the moon the station was orbiting don't seem to create sandmen.
>>
>GATISS SHOULD NEVER EVER MAKE AN EPISODE FOR DOCTOR WHO AGAIN

No. He owes us an explanation. This episode makes absolutely no sense unless there's a sequel resolving the remaining plot threads.

THEN he can fuck off and never write again.

>>62729637

Sleep No More and Face The Raven are the only single installments this series.
>>
>>62729638

It's relevant because she would have been infected by the Sandmen.

Unless the entire episode was bad in-universe fanfiction of Doctor Who, and all the characters were sand people acting out a scene.

>>62729419
The demons of Red lodge - was main title but shorter than normal so had some extra shorts in it

Face the Raven is like Utopia, it's loosely part 1 of a 3 part finale according to Moffat. and it's 5 minutes longer because of a "huge ending".

>"There's no easy way to say, "You're going to die."
Paraphrasing from what I can remember from the preview, but he is saying that to Clara right?
>>
>>62729767
You want me to find "this"?
>>
>>62729722
Maybe she is? The Doctor will probably get it removed if so, that said it isn't clear at all if the sandmen ever actually spread like that or if they have some other form of reproduction. All we know is that the latest version can infect you just by watching that video.

All the things really happened, but they were orchestrated by the scientist bloke. The entire time we were watching a snuff film he directed, the intention of which was to get us to watch to the end.

>All the things really happened, but they were orchestrated by the scientist bloke. The entire time we were watching a snuff film he directed, the intention of which was to get us to watch to the end.

Why did he need to spread his virus or whatever in the form of a film? Why not just transmit the signal directly? It doesn't matter whether you willingly watch it, if by the end you are forced to show the footage to friends and family.

>>62729927

>>
>>62729966

So Gatiss, knowing he's a shit writer, just put an ending to explain away his shitty writing.

>>62730120

Once, towards the end of the episode. Before that, 474 used the gun as a fucking club.
>>
>>62730010
A "snuff" film that starts with "DO NOT WATCH THIS" is prime meme material is why, he wanted it to be shared as much as he could get it too, plus he's arrogant as hell and wanted to infect people while showing off his creation.
>>
>>62729333
The DVD commentary thing was called "Special Features" and it was on "Demons of Red Lodge". Cool story. Had the exact same plot - the footage contains a meme that will make the viewer the carrier for an alien entity, so Five had to alter the footage to keep it from infecting the world.
>>
>>62730166

But the ending implies that he can make people show the video to others. He doesn't need a memetic video when he has an army to force the meme.
>>
i think im giving up on amazon
i cant find it

So, I slept mid-way through the episode(ironic, right?)and missed some bits.

It's Silence In the Library in new clothes. Still a good episode that does something new and refreshing in a now ancient show. It's hardly a steaming pile of shit. I've said it before in this thread but Gatiss + Shearsmith = dark horror, and to see that in Doctor Who is brilliant.
Just because you can compare themes with video games doesn't mean it's a shit episode or that it wasn't done well.
By your logic, the weeping angels are just ghosts from Mario. ABSOLUTE SHIT, HACK JOB, BAN THIS SHIT SHOW.

Yup, they've been talking about how it's been over 30 years since they actually killed off a companion (if i remember correctly). It leads into the episode featuring just Capaldi and no other cast, presumably with him trying to deal with what happened.

I've noticed a lot of current cast members always pick the shitty 'fan favourites' when asked what they're favourite monsters and stuff are.
For monsters, they always say the weeping angels or the silence.
For episodes, they always say blink, rose or day of the doctor. Never any classics.
I remember last year at the world tour they asked the favourite monster question to peter and jenna. jenna responded with, you guessed it, the silence and weeping angels. this was met with a roaring round of applause from the tumblrites in the audience.
peter replied with "chumblies."
there was no round of applause, only moffat sitting next to him, chuckling away to himself.

It was the first episode in a very long time where I was bored and didn't care if I finished the episode.

It was all over the place.

Why do the writers try so hard to make the Doctor seem like the most clever person even if they have to make every other character a drooling retard in order to do it? Why can no one else ever come up with an answer to anything?

When the Doctor said, "I'm looking at footage of your helmet cams" and the asian woman said, "We don't have helmet cams," her follow-up question should have immediately been "Where is this footage from?" Even if you excuse that bit, how did neither she or Clara come up with the answer when the Doctor was actually showing them the footage and asking them leading questions to make them see?

The moment Clara stepped out of the pod and we saw from her POV I immediately realized the sleep pods were somehow recording a video feed directly from the brains of anyone who uses them, and it was solidified when the Doctor took the asian woman's helmet and we still saw from her POV. So how did the characters not come to the same conclusion the moment they saw POV footage with the knowledge that no one had a helmet cam?

All they needed to make the Doctor seem more clever than the others was to have him figure it out first. After that, it's unnecessary to write the characters as retards just so the Doctor is forced to spoonfeed them an answer anyone could have derived almost immediately.

Capaldi is such a great doctor and all he's gotten in 2 seasons is 2 good episodes. Ugh. This sleep episode is by far one of the dumbest things i've ever seen on Who. Fuck. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Am I correct in thinking that the whole everyone doesn't have a helmet cam explanation was utter bullshit, and just an incredibly lazy way to make a found footage episode? It just doesn't serve any purpose in regards to the actual plot of the episode.

So theres sleep dust floating around the station that functions as a camera, sleep in people's eye functions as a camera, but the actual monsters are fucking blind. Was it hinted that the scientist was actually the subject that hadn't slept for 5 years, and that he could see through them, or have I just put more thought into this than Gatiss did?

It's a show, Called W/ Bob and David.
Bob odenkirk and David Cross.
They used to have a show in the late 90s on HBO called "Mr. Show with Bob and David". This is a continuation of that I guess? The original was pretty funny. Sketch comedy. Paul F Tompkins is in it too.
A doctor gave them the Real time, travel machine.

what was so bad about it?
i think everyone is overreacting
yeah the sleep dust shit was dumb but there have been worse things

How the fuck did the doctor come to the explanation of what the monsters were so quickly? More importantly, how did they take a good concept of compressing sleep and ruin it so completely?
>>
>>62731355
In my opinion they should have kept the episode exactly the same but just made it that the sleep pods turned humans insane instead of into dust monsters.

>>
>>62731355
I'm guessing it's because he scanned the cells of the monsters in the lab after one of them lost it's arm in the door.

I'm just trying to get my head around there being an AI on the station that will only open locked doors if you sing it the sandman song, that never turns up again in the episode.

Am I the only person who wants an overarching story like the Key to Time again?

The Doctor with a clear goal is actually rather entertaining rather than this "so mysterious" shit they have been doing for FAR too long.

I disagree. The only episodes I can think of that I disliked more was Love and Monsters and Fear her.

Because they don't give the Doctor an incentive to pursue the overarching mystery. for him it's just life as normal until he runs into the series finale.
>>
>>62731492
Why? What was so bad about it? You're saying you'd rather watch something like Farting Aliens Lets Kill Hitler or End Of Time over this? The episode wasn't amazing but I think you're overreacting imo.
>>
>>62731330

Gatiss made a boilerplate Doctor Who episode on purpose, which wasn't even entertaining on that level, and threw in a meta twist that explained and resolved nothing. It was a waste of our time.
>>
>>62731491

Yeah, that would be cool to see. The only problem is that would make it less episodic and NuWho hates not being episodic. I guess they just assume that if you have to see all or most of the episodes in a season to understand what's happening it would turn people off of the show.

Actually, in most cases since Moffat took over they actually make the Doctor actively avoid the overarching mystery like the plague until he slips and falls into the Finale Funnel which forces him to confront the mystery against his will at the last possible moment.

To be fair he said cute not sexy. A small butt can be cute even if it isn't as attractive as a larger one.

They didn't pursue the "overarching mystery" in RTD either though.
>>
>>62731420
There's probably a bunch of S8 episodes that should go on there, but those are the ones I've rewatched ever and decided were good tier.
Witch's Familiar is good tier, but Magician's Apprentice is not
>>62731427
It's on the low end of great, but it's wall to wall with absolutely great lines and moments. There are bits that don't quite work but overall I'd still say great

They didn't, but they also didn't make the Doctor a whiny coward who refuses to face any consequences of anything until absolutely forced to. And they didn't even really make it an "overarching mystery," it was always just a sort of background thing that was there and then they revealed what it meant in the finale. In Moffat's era they tend to present these great mysteries front and center and then just skirt around them until the finale, often by making the Doctor actively ignore/avoid/run from whatever it is.

I mean I agree with you in terms of butts, but I really like small or almost nonexistent tits, so I can understand someone maybe having that taste for butts.

Sounds like 10 to me.
>>
>>62731543
Lets kill Hitler and End of time, yes absolutely, neither of those are terrible imo.

I'd say this episode and farting aliens are around equal. It started from a good concept of condensing sleep, then fell apart completely, the monsters were stupid, how exactly did the Morpheus machine create them and make eye boogers sentient? The supporting characters were generic and shit, there was barely a plot.
>>
>that episode
Is the entire solar system in the Who Universe fucked? Is there a huge sandmen breakout going right now and The Doctor doesn't even know it? Is it gonna get picked up again next season? Does that mean that episodes set even later in the timeline, like the 51st century, are now changed? SOMEONE HOLD ME
