When is Neil Cross writing another episode? I rewatched Rings of Akhaten and Hide today, and realized that I had forgotten how they're full of exactly the kind of weird stuff that I would like to see more of in Doctor Who.
Akhaten wasn't great, but it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been, considering that it was a rush job written because another script had fallen through at the last moment.

Right. The former actually felt like a proper trip through space and time, rather than the same old assault on London garbage.
>>
>>62744723
They are trying to do too many mysteries out of everything. You just don't give a fuck anymore and just want to be entertained. The same thing with "Hybrid". I'm curious about that, but they are not hinting it right for me. You could skipp all "Hybrid" talks and it wouldn't make a diffrence.

I liked the Death of the Doctor in 6th season, because you have a clear mystery worth solving. I don't give a crap about some randomly muttered words during the season. I need more puzzles to play, or just give me fun story.

Yes. I like 6th season, but I was too heavy on story arc. I'm just saiying that if we got to have season arc, then I rather have it established in the first episode and then the series is going somewhere than a word "Impossible Girl" or "Hybrid" muttered in every story without context and the stuff happens only in the last episode of the season.

>>
>>62744867
Impossible Girl actually had some mystery to it, it was a seemingly impossible situation and we wanted to know how it worked.

Likewise, I agree with you on series 6. Series 5 had a good one too, in that respect, in 5 and 6 we have mysteries where we can see the clues and piece together what's going to happen. You can go into both finales knowing how the story will be resolved, basically, but you can't do that so much with 7 and 9's mysteries. More the Davies model, really.

>>62744888
Their music is straightforward catchy pop garbage, but their performance and their music videos are pretty striking. So you end up liking them, when you otherwise wouldn't have given the music alone any consideration.

I just find it amusing that they are called Die Antwoord and are white rappers from South Africa.

Because when White South Africans say "Die Antwoord", it just sounds like they are saying "The N-Word", in their nasty accent.

It's like their whole band is a racist joke and no-one bothered to tell them.
>>
>>62745057
In that case, they forgot the Zygon two-parter and The Fires of Pompeii. Also, there's lots of episodes on there that just say future and don't mention they take place on spaceships (God Complex, The Beast Below)
>>
Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom Bom
>>
>>62744954
Yes, it had a mystery but we didn't get any extra elements to it during the season. Everything resolved in "Name of the Doctor". So we couldn't speculate and guess what may happen. The same with the Hybrid. No episode is about this, so why bother hyping it?

I was kinda suprised by Series Six ending. The Tesselecta was not suprising, but we could think about Gangers. But I didn't knew the alternate universe and how Time go wobbly. That was suprising.

I'd never deny I liked it, but when pressed why I really couldn't tell you why. It's like a sculpture made of trash,refuse and junk or dogs playing poker. It's amusing.
From my prospective it's appears as Die Antwoord is cultural appropriation filtered through an 1980's aesthetic filter.
They're entertaining as fuck though.
>>
>>62745400
my links are streaming sir, no torrents there.
>>
>>62745368
Oh god, how is anyone this simple.

Let me go very slowly for you:
South African accent pronounces ENGLISH words in a different way. It pronounces Afrikaans/Dutch words in an Afrikaans/Dutch way. BUT sometimes an Afrikaans/Dutch word sounds like they are saying an English word, but in their own silly accent.

In this case, it changes it into something that sounds a bit racist. Which is funny in its own right. But doubly funny because they are white rappers.

It wasn't that hard to understand that.

It is what it is, idgaf. I still enjoy it. The first "rap" to be put on "wax" was a white woman and where there word "rap" comes from. Rapture Debbieharry/Blondie. She still stole it from fab five freddy.
Just because it's cultural appropriation doesn't meant it's not good.

If War counts, War. Hell, I'm certain he had to fight versions of himself from other timelines and shit. Certainly the Valeyard and Grandfather would have been involved, it being a war in time and all.

If he doesn't count, 9 has the reach, the reflexes, and he's a bad motherfucker. Either it would come down to him and 12 doing Venusian Aikido at each other until he won, or ten and eleven would have to gang up on 12 to take him down and then 9 would mop up.

Not sure if b8 but Rapper's Delight pre-dates that by 2 years....

Despite the clueless tumblrcows bleating about appropriation, Debbie Harry was actually very important in early hiphop culture, and even made some non-NY AA musicians aware of it, as they hadn't discovered it themselves yet (because despite what the media says, minorities do not exist on a hive mind where they all experience "their own" culture simultaneously regardless of location).
>>
>>62745615
I was referring to their south-central-gangbanging look, flow and "rapping" in general which isn't isn't native south African. They got a VHS copy of boys in the hood in the late 90s and went with it.
The "Zef" style is a mash up of the above and late 80s fashion.

So Morpheus alters your brain chemistry to produce more sleep boogers, which accumulate until you are killed by it. Rassmussen's plan was to make it so you don't need to sleep in Morpheus to get infected. You need only to watch a video containing the signal. It's an entertaining (haha) video, so you'll be more likely to show it to other people.

So why did Rassmussen spell out his plan?

So, I am thinking of introducing my brother to Doctor Who with Sleep No More.
He's never seen an episode, so it'll be good to lower his standards and then surprise him with the rest of the good episodes, right?
>>
>>62746881
>Every episode is edited to match a certain colour theme and aesthetic.
This. UtL/BtF's colours and lighting were GOAT too.
>>
>>62746926
If he's never seen an episode, go for it.
He doesn't have any standards, so it'll be better than introducing him to Doctor Who with Blink and ultimately setting his standards high.
>>
>>62746926

Half the problem with Sleep No More was its unoriginality, like Gatiss was trying to parody Moffat. If he's a new watcher, he won't notice.

Start with Kill The Moon.
>>
>>62746912

I think it's done more for broadcasting standards than for aesthetics. That's what I always assumed, anyway. They have to lower the quality to actually make it broadcastable, but they produce it in as high a quality as they can manage.
>>
>>62746959
>Gatiss was trying to parody Moffat

He probably was tbqh.
>>
>>62746927
Finally. Someone paying attention.
The direction is far better than in Series 8, each two-parter feels more 'organised', you can choose a colour and remember the episode for that specific colour.
The effects are the best of the whole show, so far(with the exception of the hyperspace CGI)
Can't wait to see what Rachel Talalay has in store, and what she has managed to do with Gallifrey in the finale.
Peter talked about how the finale competes with bigger shows like GoT, but still has a budget 4 times smaller.

I literally forgot that Capaldi ever played a character in Doctor Who until he actually said it and had that flashback in The Girl Who Died. I feel like Moffat was afraid people would notice, so he made a big deal out of justifying it, but if he'd never made a big deal of it I think no one would have remembered or noticed.

It's all kinda crap. But it's all crap in different ways, so there's probably something you wouldn't find crap.

The first episode is abysmal, it's hardly sinking to this level again.

Things like that always get noticed by the fans. With Martha they played off Freema Agyeman's previous appearance as being her cousin.

One of the first questions when the casting of Capaldi as the Doctor was announced was if they were going to reference his previous appearance somehow. I actually like that they made it a subconcious decision during regeneration, plays back to when Romana regenerated and chose her appearance.

>>62747488
This explanation was alright, but the execution was terrible. He should get the idea at the end of his first episode, but built it into a huge arc and give it as a big explanation year later.

The show needs to pander to fans less. It's a technical issue and should not be relevant (Not in a way they made it, anyway). Some fan somewhere will write a fanfiction about how this Roman guy was Doctor in disguise good for him. It's not something to be canonized.

Sleep No More's only problem, IMO, is that the monsters were dumb. There are so many things you can do with the idea of removing sleep backfiring that don't involve turning eye crusties into sentient life.

Some ideas off the top of my head:
>going for such long stretches without sleep causes the body to degrade because you need it nightly
>people become zombies
>changing your brain chemistry to condense sleep causes people to hallucinate and/or go crazy
>dreams are a window to a sort of other world and condensing months of sleep into 5 minutes creates a sort of high powered signal that allows a race of dream monsters to escape into reality

The last one is pretty farfetched, but I think it still might be better than eye crusty monsters.
>>
>>62747530
True, they did stretch it out way too far and over-dramatised the reveal.

It's funny how they have the over-arching plot teases with this hybrid thing yet at the same time the show seems to have lost direction completely.

>>62747622
Most logical thing, I think, is to go by cliche that all humans have tiny psychip powers and overclocking the brain would make them manifest. So sleep with thousandfold power and you become godlike and wreck shit.

Still, boobytrapped technology is not a big problem. They really should've just refrained from ridiculous explanations and it would be fine.

Like others have been saying, I think they should have made a nod to it but not made a big deal of it. This is something he could have realized within the first couple episodes and not even made it important. "There was this chap I once met in Pompeii. Real stately fellow -- saved his life. Must have been thinking about that when I regenerated..."

Instead we got:

>WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS FACE???
>CLARA AM I A GOOD MAN?
>WHY THIS FACE?!
>CLARA DOES THIS FACE MAKE ME LOOK LIKE A GOOD MAN???
>OH HOW COULD I BE SO BLIND!!!
>THIS FACE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACE EVER!
>WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR I MUST REMEMBER TO SAVE PEOPLE BECAUSE THAT'S WHY I CHOSE THIS FACE!!!
>OMG MY FUCKING FAAAAAAAAAACE

I like this season. Long parter stories. They can continue with this. It would be great if the next season would be 4 three-part stories. There is no need for a story arc. Just make good trailer of the next story.

The Hybrid is bit annoying. I like the idea behind it, and I'm waiting for the explaination, but why do they bother to stick that "hybrid" into every story this series. These stories would be better in the larger scale without the deeper context somewhere. I'm missing the classic who stories. Doctor and Companion come and have adventure. No need to watching in some order.
>>
They're going to pull some timey-wimey shit to bring back Danny Pink aren't they? Or is the whole Clara meeting her decendant thing being ignored?
>>
>>62747701

Like I said, the ONLY problem I had with it was that it was eye crusties because that's just a stupid idea that barely works. I'm pretty sure Gatiss just sat down and thought, "How do I make Sandman monsters so that I can play Mr. Sandman throughout the episode and have a character sing it while being attacked by Sandmen? That would be so poetic!"
>>
>>62745368

When they pronounce "die antmoot" it sounds like the english phrase "duh en-word" because they speak english like their mouthes are constantly full of cock.

Moffat's idea of character explorations seems to consist entirely of random statements not grounded in any event depicted.

The tone of New Who is so wrong. Basically, Doctor Who was always a tongue-in-cheek sci-fi romp with sporadic moral explorations, that was successful because of the endearing character of the Doctor and the bizarre Douglas Adamsian universe he called his playground.

Now? Where the hell is the charisma or charm? It's like some lame CBBC show. Urgh. Forcing unsubtle left wing values. Yuk.

And it's getting worse...

It looks worse than Classic Who, too. There used to be genuine craftsmanship and interesting designs. Now it' awful. Honestly, you could make a 10 hour Mr Plinkett style video series about how much New Who has blown it. I hate it.

The problem I had with it is that the ability to perfectly mimic a normal human being wasn't even hinted at through the episode. Also no one fired their gun throughout the episode. And the writing was bad.

>Or is the whole Clara meeting her decendant thing being ignored?

It wasn't going this well. First two-parter was really a plot for one episode padded with 30 minutes of bollocks to fit a cliffhanger to 45 minute mark. Second two-parter was a good setup which ultimately ended in a series of shitty fakeouts justified by time paradox. Maisiefest was composed of not particularly impressive comedy and pretty boring and divorced from actual human experience character study with shitty monster tacked on.
Zygons were pretty good, although childish morality and shallow characters is not good when you plan to resolve your plot with a debate.

So that episode is universally agreed to be terrible right?

They actually did fire their gun at the last monster in the hangar/airlock and found out their guns didn't do anything. Probably should have done that to the first one, though. It annoyed the piss out of me, too.

Watched that. Moffat says there are a couple of classic monsters making a return in the future that haven't been in New Who yet but he's not telling which ones.

Moffat seems in a kinda grumpy mood at this festival but there have been some rude and irritating behavior from fans at the Q&As from what I'm hearing. Sounds like he's getting fed up with it.

>>62749177
And the fans are getting irritated with him.

>>62749152
its pretty useless without a video
we don't even know what moffat said or if he was even as rude as cultbox claims.
>>
>>62749177
I also cant help but notice Capaldi's arrogance in the videos of the festival. Both him and Moffat yelled at a fan for pronouncing his name wrong. Ingrid and Michelle seem like the only humble ones. Jenna looks like she could be very vindictive.
>>
>>62749204
For what? Because they don't like his writing? A Q&A at a celebratory event isn't the time and place to start bitching at someone for doing things differently than you'd like. Dr Who fans can be some of the most entitled twats I've ever seen.

this shit is not canon right?

That would never happen. Even Tom Baker when he was stone drunk would be nice to fans. There's a story of a kid coming up to him when he was drunk and he said hang on, walked around the corner and puked on the ground and then came back to sign stuff for him.

He just has the same fake smile in every picture at fan events, doesn't want to do funny shots only serious ones and he's not a hugger IIRC.
>>
>>62749354
Snake Master is canon. He's Master he doesn't give a fuck. He wants to be a snake, he's a snake now.

Doctor is not a half-human.
