https://youtu.be/tGGJeQVQdS8?t=15s
just finished the latest episode. Wtf was that ending? What even happened?
>>62815839
I only liked it for the spooky
>>62815942
>What even happened?
Scientist dude, with help of eyebooger monsters, created "rescue team goes for trapped scientist/survivor in base with experiment monsters" scenario in order to record it, and splice it into an entertaining enough video to then broadcast it and get people to watch it.
He wanted people to watch it cause he put a signal in the video, the static/glitches, that would mutate their eyeboogers and turn people into the monsters we saw on the base.
Doctor found himself in the middle of it, and didn't make the true connection between the video being recorded, what was going on, and the guy's plan to spread the eyebooger stuff. So to him it made no sense.
>>62816114
That's incredibly convoluted
>>62816114
why did he turn to sand or whatever at the end?
>>62816256
Cause the Morpheus machine sleep thing he'd made could also mutate eyeboogers. And he'd been through it enough, especially as it's creator, that he'd be affected too
>>62816114
>>62816302
this episodes story was retarded
>>62816302
I wonder, if someone stays away from pods, does that mean there not in danger? (apart from being attacked obviously)
>>62816367
I think that's exactly what that means.
>>62816343
Thanks for stating the obvious
Why does the Doctor always treat his black male companions like shit?
Did he become a SJW or is he merely a racist?
>>62815922
...they kind of do, actually.
>>62816659
Well he's only had two, and they were Mickey and Danny. Maybe if he got one that wasn't an annoying twat he'd be nice.
>>62815190
never unless she regenerates. Tennant's wife dropped acting.
> MFW the Doctor's daughter is the Doctor's wife and plays as the Doctor's daughter...
>>62815839
It was shit.
>>62815905
No, it was not.
I wonder if Susan will ever make another Who appearance
>>62816882
desu i hadn't even seen the episode except for a couple minutes at the end
>>62816659
They were Cockblocking
>>62816882
>Tennant's wife dropped acting.
Probably cause Tennant gets her pregnant every other year.
Had three kids since 2011
I don't know if I can watch this show without Jenna
Latest episode ending confused me. Is there gonna be a follow up to this or something? I pegged it for a two parter, but the next episode previews didnt look related at all
>>62817490
Gatiss has a sequel in mind but that's not till next series at best so doesn't help Sleep No More right now
>>62817588
Hopefully the mass hate it got means he doesn't get to do it.
>>62818061
Impossible, he's besties with Moffat and co-creator with him for Sherlock, which is another feather in BBC's cap.
It's happening whether the audience wants it to or not
>>62818354
>>62818061
>>62817588
It really should have been a two parter. I don't understand why he didn't just write it to tie into Face The Raven like Mathieson did with Girl Who Died.
It's weird to leave the continuation to your story for the next series.
>>62818529
no. face the raven will be much better without gatiss poop stinking it up.
>>62818529
I'd much rather have a shit episode confirmed for next year than having a shit episode confirmed for next week. Future me can deal with that bullshit.
>>62818589
Well, Tennant and Eccleston are there, so at least it has that going for it, which is nice.
>>62818700
>not liking Capaldi
>>62818726
>thinking 12 would be a good Doctor to have for thanksgiving
>>62818849
Why not?
>>62818890
Capaldi seems too alien half the time.
For example: cards
>>62818937
>He's never celebrated thanksgiving before
Everybody has at least one family member that's just a little off. You don't have an uncle that keeps index cards in his coat pocket of strange pick up lines and stupid nonsensical jokes? I mean this year mines in prison, but it just won't feel like thanksgiving without him.
>Doctor Who executive producer Steven Moffat says that the search for an actor to play the titular Time Lord’s new traveling companion is still in the “very, very early stages.”
>“There’s nothing really to report,” continues the showrunner. “We’ll make a noise when we’ve got something to say, don’t worry.” The need for a new companion has been prompted by the looming departure of Jenna Coleman from the show. For the past few years, Coleman has played teacher and temporal explorer Clara Oswald, but in September the actress revealed that the current, 12-episode run of shows would be her last. In fact, rumor has it that Coleman’s character will depart the show in the next episode, which is called “Face the Raven” and will be broadcast on BBC America, Nov. 21. Moffat, predictably, declined to comment on that possibility but did reveal that this Saturday’s show, the 10th of the season, would kick off a climactic trilogy of interconnected adventures for Peter Capaldi’s Doctor.
>“[The season] ends with three episodes, all of which cliffhanger into each other in a quite major way,” says the executive producer. “They’re very linked, but it won’t feel like a three-part story. In a traditional Doctor Who way, it builds to a huge climax in episode 12.”
http://www.ew.com/article/2015/11/17/doctor-who-jenna-coleman-new-companion
I would love to finaly put Doctor Who aside, like so many other aspects of my past, but the structure of the show makes it impossible.
To quit when Jenna leaves? Miss based Capaldi. Quit when Capaldi regenerates? I'll be invested in the next companion.
Somewhere I need to rip this show like a band-aid, but when?
>>62819334
>They’re very linked, but it won’t feel like a three-part story.
Oh, that makes sense now. It might have been from DWM, but I think Moffat was quoted as saying there was a lot of debate with the staff whether or not the last two episodes were a two-parter or not. He was on the side of individual episodes, and if Face the Raven is connected but not considered part of the main story it would make sense for them to all be single stories.
>>62819552
>>62819552
I know what you mean. I want to drop the show sometimes but it always manages to have it's hooks in me in some way.
>>62819552
>implying the next companion will be good
>>62819801
I thought I would quit when Tennant regenerated. Thought Karen was just some kid I didn't care about and that Smith looked like a dope.
Series 5 for life, yo.
>>62819840
>I thought I would quit when Tennant regenerated.
>>62819840
Karen a shit,
She's a bitch and she tried to kek Rory
>>62819900
What? Not that anon, but The End of Time is one of the best points to quit the series, regardless of what you or I think of it. End of both a Doctor and a showrunner's era, no companion carrying over to the next era.

>The End of Time is one of the best points to quit the series,

Series 5 self contained perfection.
>"I let Clara Oswald get inside my head. Trust me. She doesn't leave."
+ this dialogue from Hell Bent:
>“What's it called?” “I think it's called Clara.”He's going to forget her.
>>62818937
Could be worse; Colin would go berserk and scoff all the pies. Same with the Simm Master and turkey.
>>62819840
>>62820042
I agree, series 5 matched the very best of classic Who and for me has been the high point of nuWho.
>>62820042

I agree that it's great, but something that has Victory of the Daleks in it can't be perfection. Ever.
>>62820042
>opinion
That's fact m8
>sure, and then the next 2/3's of Series 5 happened.
You mean the 2/3 where she was still shitting all over Rory and getting close as fuck to 11?
>>62820257
I would argue "At least Victory is memorable."
The Silurian two-parter fares much worse in my opinion.
So whats the speculation for the finale? (Both parts) What do you think is going on/going to happen/Be about?
>>62820566
I just hope I'm not as let down by it as the rest of this season has left me.
>>62818061
>mass hate
Only on /who/
Professional review sites loved it.
>>62820566
Clara dies in Face the Raven, the Doctor goes berserk and flies into another dimension. He faces some kind of trial in a mechanical castle, beats it, then unleashes the Time Lords on whoever killed her (presumably the Hybrid).
>>62821048
I checked out some facebook fan sites, that usually have retarded opinions on things and they had the same kinda opinions as /who/ on this one.
I was just reading about series 9 on wikipedia. Aparently they asked Davis to return to write something for the 10th anniversary of NuWho and he declined but then said he still wants to write more Doctor Who, but a movie.
What the fuck is wrong with him? Just write an episode you kek
>>62819334
Series 9 started filming and shit in January this year, is 10 starting in January 2016? Shouldn't they be well into casting by now?
>>62818726
>>62818849
>>62821267
Oh I'm sure everything is written and fleshed out, they just need to find the right dindu for the part.
>>62820566
It's just three episodes of an Ood welding things.
>>62821388
Sounds perfect family. Love an Ood
>>62821267
No, series 10 isn't gonna start filming in January. The designer, Michael Pickwoad said h .doesn't start until May.

>>62815190
i read a thing where moff talked to rtd about it and they agreed that she flew that rocket into a moon or something.
>>62822253
I doubt it. We don't exactly have ground breaking revolutionary conversations here. It's the same as the rest of the fandom except we hate slightly different things and say nigger more.
>>62822253
Pretty much what this nigger said >>62822302
>HYBRID
What did he mean by this?Is the valeyard going to be a hybrid of the doctor and evil?
>>62822882
I'm fully expecting moffman to do just that.
"Amalgamation of the darker side of the Doctor's nature" could mean anything. It could even mean ahybrid
>>62822981
I thought BF established the Valeyard was an experiment the last Doctor (Smith on Trenzalore, as it turned out) made to try and prolong his cycle?
Realistically, no one would care if 'Valeyard' wasn't such a cool word.
>>62823211
Nobody cares what Big Finish establish. Anyway, they said that the Valeyard was probably lying in that one, and there's a bit in Colin Baker's regeneration story where they say the Valeyard was a Time Lord black ops weapon.
>>62823211
>caring what Not Canon thinks
>>62822882
An incarnation of the doctor who is fully willing to use violence to justify his means while still believing him self worthy of having the title of the doctor.
RTD's arcs like Bad Wolf and torchwood worked because they were an out of context phrase with some mystery behind what it really ment
Hybrid doesn't work because every instance of it has some explanation already and there is nothing to justify them being linked together. There's no mystery to why hybrids exist since it's readily explained, so there's no sense of build up to the finale
Reminder that Hell Bent implies the Doctor is Malcolm Tucker and/or Mr Bean
From the Blogtor Who interview with Dollard:
>I’d done a complete first draught and that was read by everybody. I came in for second draft meeting and sat there at the table and Steven [Moffat] said, 'Good news is, we really love it. We love it so much, we’d like to talk about putting at this point in the season where it can form the part of an arc.’
>He said I made him emotional on the train when he read it. He’s a very emotional man. Nobody could write the way he writes and not be an emotional person."
Face the Raven confirmed for GOAT and heartbreaking.
Russell T Moffat is the hybrid.

A list of what the BBC's cutting.
>>62824437
Looks like Hank Hill
>>62824519
>This will mean some reductions to factual, comedy and entertainment
Well shit. I assume Doctor Who counts as entertainment, not drama.
Other than that, I don't care about comedy as BBC comedy is bad. Shame about factual though.
>>62824519
>The shortfall has arisen because as more people use BBC iPlayer, mobiles and other online catch-up, the proportion of households owning a television is falling, while a loophole allows viewers to watch catch-up TV without a licence.
This stupid fucking bollocks they keep talking is doing my head in. Always chatting shit so that people who pay for a TV license hate on those who don't. Meanwhile, they're paying Terry Wogan £60,000/year to do Children in Need. The real problem is that the BBC are a bunch of paedo cunts, and they're worried that their paedo empire will come crumbling down if the archaic and irrelevant TV license is abolished. I hope the Conservatives fucking end the BBC while they're in.
>>62824065
I was not this unhyped since third grade when Jimmy the schoolyard bully promised to shove a ruler up my arse after classes.
>>62824635
The word "loophole" is a fucking joke, as well. It's not a loophole. "Loophole" suggests that paying for a TV license is something we should all be doing, and that those who don't are cheating the system. A TV license is not mandatory. Using iPlayer exclusively is not a "loophole". It's called fucking technology. Technology is changing the way we watch TV, but the BBC is still stuck in the 80s. They should have thought about what they were doing when they introduced the iPlayer service. They're shifting the blame onto the public, when they're the ones responsible.
>>62823531
I wouldn't call an element that doesn't do anything "working" although it's certainly an improvement over obstruction.
>tfw I'm going to miss Jenna more than I missed Smith

You're either a very amusing troll or clinically insane and won't receive the help you so obviously need from the conservatives while their in.
>>62824773
>implying that the conservatives don't feel empathy for clinically insane people as they are mentally ill themselves
>>62820265
I agree, Amy was an ungrateful bitch. She used to be a bitch around 11 too always moaning about shit. In fact when I think about it her bitchiness was probably one of her defining character traits.
>>62824519
>>62824620
Doesn't mean they'll put on hold for all eternity. It will probably mean more budget cuts so expect more cheap sets and actors and getting stuck either in present day, reusing historical sets from other show or claustophobic bases. So business as usual then.
>>62824620
Isn't entertainment game and reality shows? Doctor Who is a family drama.
>>62824732
It kinda is a loophole, people are watching content provided by the licence fee without paying the licence fee. Its not their fault, it is the BBCs for not foreseeing the number of people who would watch their content on iPlayer without ever purchasing a licence but at the same time it's the duty of the BBC to its licence payers to close the loophole so everyone is watching BBC content on the same terms.
Not really sure why you're so mad desu, you sound like a 12y/o copying their dad who's gone off on one about it.
>>62819917
>tried to kek Rory
Rory was just some useless clingy dweeb she was dating on and off in high school since they were the only two people that age in their sheepfucking little village. If genders were reversed you'd be cheering the "keking."
>>62824887
-2/10 bait
>>62824887
If the gender were reversed, everyone would despise Dude Amy for being an abusive asshole toward vulnerable, helpful Girl Rory.

>>62819552
>Being invested in Clara
Into the trash she goes
>>62824922
I feel Moffat is trying too hard to make him quirky a la Matt Smith since he realised random fast talking doesn't work.
>>62819552
I'll continue to watch until it gets canceled no matter how much shittier it gets.
I mean it has always been at least a bit shitty even at its high points but being a fan means learning to enjoy or at least ignore even the shitty bits.
>>62824840
If it went back to S1 budget maybe that wouldn't be a bad thing. It still let them be creative.
>>62825019
Creativity is not a function of budget
>>62825019
S1 looked like shit mostly because of the terrible sitcom lightning.
Even if the budget got cut it wouldn't look as shitty because decent special effects now cost cheaper.
The Doctor and Clara will both forget each other thanks to the Retcon from Torchwood ;)
Reminder this cutie is the next companion <3
Sleep No More should've been a weeping angel story. It could've been about space dust clogging and destroying the ships engines with people going missing/vanishing whenever they try and fix the problem. It would then be revealed that the dust was broken up weeping angels.
They would kill off everyone and it would end with the doctor having no choice but to blow the ship up.
But unknown to him the dust survives in space.
>>62825463
There's nothing exactly wrong with what we have, except such blunt explaination is better off skipped. It's just that it's dull, that's the problem.
Booby-trapped superscience is always-working plot and end twist was in fact pretty clever.

That's the point. Now that the Doctor knows about the prophecy he's curious as to who or what it might be. Anything that fits the bill he'll question if it's the answer to the prophecy.

To be fair, it's not out for another 6 months, it could be placeholder music.

Just found out what the 'hybrid' is, not saying how, but this isn't bait, i wouldn't bother making a fake spoiler just over a week before the episode airs.The Dalek eternal, the yellow dalek from Victory of the Daleks. It's half dalek half tardis. It can alter time without creating pardoxes and there are hundreds of them. Davros' injuries are reversed and he now has legs and is not disfigured. I assume this is what Moffat was apprehensive about changing.
>>62826062
>lily
>fat
>even the Moffag stronghold of /who/ has recognised that the show is now devoid of charm, drama, intrigue, creativity and fun. It's like the Star Wars prequels or something.
How can the same man who made Blink, Silence in the Library and Series 5 make this awful awful shit?
Entirely new creative and production staff when? New ideas, new styles, new themes. Tried to watch the Zygon episode the other day. Essentially everything on screen was wrong. I hated everything. And I fucking loved Series 5.
So it did leak. The anon just put fake quotes on it.
>>62826363
I quite likeв series 8, I suspect Moffat can only produce one good series per Doctor. He basically drowns in his ideas to overuse and needs regular reset.
I wonder if series 10 would be similar to series 7.
>>62826363
Wait for night /who/ they'll jump at your throat because you called Series 9 shit. I agree with you though. I already disliked series 8, was willing to give it another chance but Series 9 is disappointing like you said it's devoid of charm, fun, entertainment and excitement. If Series 10 doesn't rectify all of this, then I might drop the show and I've been watching it since 2009.

>Apparently
???
>>62826335Clara has died every time she's gone into a pod this series. She died in the witch's familiar, the zygon invasion and sleep no more. The doctor has been using the hybrid eternal daleks to bring her back to life every time she dies. That's why it took 15 times for the zygons and humans to make peace. This is what's in his confession dial. She dies again in episode 10, but he brings her back to life. When the hybrid daleks are destroyed, she dies.
Series 9 has no ambition other than "let's make this edgy shit for teens!". And it's a ratings flop. They're definitely going back to something lighter next year.
Also, watch episode 10 until the very end (past the next time trailer)12s appearance in the 'no sir all thirteen' scene is explained
I realised what I hate most about the show currently. There are no based side characters. Everyone is either a woman, child or black. Not to say those couldn't be based, but cmon. Everyone is the Moffat whoniverse is a meme spouting SJW cringelord.
>the brigadier
Based, interesting, entertaining, charming
> Brigadier's daughter
Lame, boring, embarrassing
Why is she a prominent part of the show again?
>>62826534
According to Fibuli on GB. He's hated every episode except Face the Raven and Heaven Sent.
>>62826363
RTD is more like the star wars prequels.

>>62826573

In some ways, yes. But RTD's strength is characterisation and interactions; his characters felt real. This cannot be said of the prequels.

What's edgy then?
>>62826771
It's a forgettable episode.
>>62826788
What a bad opinion
>>62826771
Darker tone in not necessary, but show does not work that well when aknowledging that it might be kinda crappy. Lots of RTD era suffered from it, and "I don't have to give a shit, I work for Doctor Who" seems to still pop up once in a while. Lighter stories could still work if they don't laugh at their own jokes.
What Doctor Who is definintely not suited for is epic action.
>>62826542
>That's why it took 15 times for the zygons and humans to make peace.
I don't get this one. i thought he wiped their memories until they both agreed to peace, how isClara dyingrelated to that?

Something over the top that it ends up being immature. Like some Torchwood episodes or something. I don't really see how any of that on that list is edgy. I mean how are The Master and Davros "edgy"?
>>62826954
That's not what edgy is supposed to mean. Although since it turned into a derogatory term, maybe you are right.
>>62826813
Not really
It's a 10 year old episode
Most people who watch DW now have forgotten about it.
Some fans weren't even born when Dalek was first broadcasted.
>>62826954
Edgy means dark to the point it makes no sense just to be cool and please the teens. Missy killing people for no reason is edgy. Davros pulling an evil ruse after having killed Clara and Missy is edgy.
>>62826980
I was a teen when I saw Doctor Who on TV and completely forgotten about it for years.
Years later I saw it mentioned somewhere and thought "Oh, I remember this was a show where a dude was yelling at a tin can. I should come back to watch it". This is a mark of true greatness.
>>62826821
>>62826557
>why does Doctor Who do things I don't like?
>I know how Doctor Who works best, whereas RTD/Moffat obviously doesn't!
Jesus Christ stop. Doctor Who can do pretty much any kind of story it pleases, given how few fixed elements it has.
Saying "Personally I don't like the dark/campy/epic style" is a legitimate complaint. Saying "This style didn't work in that story/season/era because (reasons)" is also a legitimate complaint.
Saying "I know what is best for Doctor Who and it should never, ever do this kind of story because I don't like it" is just autism.
>>62827048
I'm sorry I forgot to include a disclaimer and my opinion not marked as such triggered your autism.
>>62827001
>Edgy means dark to the point it makes no sense just to be cool and please the teens.
Nothing you've said fits your definition.
>for no reason
The Master isn't a good guy. He's a psychopathic villain. He did shit like that in S3 where he gasses the senate and laughs. Is no one allowed to be killed in Doctor Who?
>Davros pulling an evil ruse after having killed Clara and Missy is edgy.
How are these relevant?
>>62827048
Except I've never said I know what's best for the show. I was saying the edgy shit for teens approach doesn't work because it's too much, there's just no fun (fuck right off if you think "it's not fun" is not a legitimate complaint because it fucking is), it isn't entertaining enough and the stakes are ridiculously high so we know nothing bad will really happens except maybe Jac dying.
Also, sorry for triggering your fucking autism.
>>62827138
>calling someone autistic while madposting
>edgy shit for teens approach doesn't work
You've failed to list anything this series that has been "edgy shit for teens"
>>62826146
>I never listen to Big Finish but i might get this. It sounds pretty fun. More fun than the depressing shit we call Doctor Who currently on TV
Depressing as in "poor qualiy" or "grimdark everyone's gonna die"?
>>62827292
Both. It's just lost its spark that attracted me to the show in the first place. It just doesn't feel fun or adventurous anymore
>>62827292
Both.
>>62827327
At least it's not as grimdark as Eighth Doctor's audio right now. He's in perpetual shitshorm for 6 seasons now.
With new companion they'll put some spin i think.
Sleep No More's AI was 76. The last time it was that low was Love And Monsters.
I actually thought Love and Monsters was better because at least you can get a few laughs from it.
>>62827365
Who even votes in AI? How do you vote in AI? I remember when it got 90 for Stolen Earth, that was stupid.
Capaldi gets a call from one the Doctors and then goes to do the 50th scene in the after-credits scene.
>>62827365
Love and Monsters wasn't even funny. I didn't crack a smile. At least Sleep No More had a creepy ending.
>>62827365
>AI
Robots have shit tase anyway.
>>62827394
Yes. Though episode 11 happens and he can't go straight away. Once he gets back at the end of Heaven Sent, he goes and saves Gallifrey, hence the "Sorry I'm late" (to answer the phone call).
>>62827394
>implying this doesn't happen in Heaven Sent
>implying most casual viewers would actually give a shit about the post credits scene of Face the Raven
>>62827450
>implying
>>62827355
Yeah but none of that's canon so it doesn't matter
>>62827355
This is actually fun somehow.
>>62827531
Don't start on canon, that is silly
and irrelevant to grimdarkness
VNA are even more non canon but they are very relevant to this
Is clara in pods every episode actually going anywhere or is it just a coincidence?
>>62827628
A distress flavour of the year.
>>62827628
Was clara in a pod in Girl Who Died?
The Face the Raven post-credit scene sounds fucking GOATThe Doctor gets a phonecall from a past Doctor
And the cliffhanger to episode 1112 temporarily degenerates, creating 'sliders' of his 8th and 10th incarnations
>>62827628
What were other pods?
Witch's Familiar = Dalek
Zygon Inversion = Zygon Pod
Sleep No More = Sleep Chamber
But Under the Lake and The Girl Who Died don't really fit with that theme.
>>62827778
Under the Lake had the doctor in a pod I guess
Girl Who Died doesn't really
Even still, that's three separate clara pods
>>62827847
Girl Who Died had Ashildr inside the Mire helmet
I haven't watched any Doctor who since RTD stopped writing them.
Should I watch the newer Doctor who series?
Hey guys, got a friend watching from Eccleston, and he wanted to know how to skip the padded out eps so he can get up to date. Does anyone here have that list of episodes that are important to the arcs or good stories to help him on his way?
>>62828004
Why doesn't he just watch it all, shouldn't take him long especially if he marathons.
Sam Neill has a part in the Christmas special.
>>62827949
Skip matt smith and go straight to peter capaldi
you might not know who all the characters are but you'll figure it out
Peter wants only one companion and not a TARDIS trio.
>>62828004
tell him 'man the fuck up and watch everything you fucking pussy'
then tell him
Dalek
Bad wolf/parting of the ways
Christmas Invasion
Girl in the Fireplace
Impossible Planet/Satan pit
Doomsday
Smith and jones
Utopia/sound of drums/last of time lords
Waters of Mars
End of time 1/2
Eleventh Hour
Pandorica opens/big bang
Day of the Doctor
Time of the Doctor
Then all of S8 and S9
>>62828282
>2828282
impressive
>>62828004
watch one episode a day will take maybe a couple of months to get all caught up.
>>62827778
Not exactly a pod, but she was locked in a small dead end room by herself.
>>62828288
>skipping that much Smith
do people actually do this?
He's decided to watch it all.
>>62828447
After skimming the episodes I noticed she also locks herself alone in the Faraday cage.
>>62828482
>do people actually do this?
There is not a single memorable episode in S6 or S7 bar the 2013 specials
>>62828235
>skip one of the best Doctors in the show's history
>>62828562
No, I'm saying skip TO one of the best doctors in the show's history
>>62828555
Oh never mind, deaf chick was with her in that one. I guess the only one it could be is >>62828447
>>62828561
>There is not a single memorable episode in S6 or S7
Day of the Moon
Curse of the Black Spot
Rebel Flesh
The Doctor's Wife
The Girl Who Waited
That's just Series 6 alone of the top of my head. If you don't like these eps you don't like Who
>>62828582
Shame he's being wasted on some of the shittiest writing in the show's history
>>62828614
>black spot
>rebel flesh
>not god complex
>not a good man goes to war
Why is he still allowed to write episodes, /who/?
>>62828632
this meme needs to die
>>62828654
Yep those too. S5 and 6 were both solid I wish I'd enjoyed these last two series like I did those.
>>62828654
Next time please use a fucking spoiler for that image or at least give some kind of warning. I just pissed myself and nearly had a heart attack.
>>62828661
he gives moff some sneaky handies in exchange for being able to write episodes with no quality control
>>62828693
objectively shit taste if you think whimsical running man is better than dry banter man
>>62828743
I'm against banter.
Wonder which Doctor will be the one calling 12? If it's fucking David Tennant i'm throwing my TV screen out the window.
You all have shit taste
Now shut the fark up
>>62828811
At least, it would be a canon Doctor.
If it's 8 I will kill myself.
My brother is going to watch the Eleventh Hour tonight, his first episode ever.
What should I do, should I watch it with him, how do I prepare him for what he is about to witness?
>>62828811
its McGann apprently
although i don't know how that makes sense, because to the past Doctors, 12 shouldn't exist.
It would make more sense if it was Smith just before regenerating, like how he called Clara
>>62828863
you should probably let him watch it on his own without you sperging next to him to whole time
>>62828863
>how do I prepare him for what he is about to witness?
Bring him into a relaxed state by massaging this balls.
Can't go wrong starting there really if he doesn't get it the show probably isn't for him.
>>62828863
Just let him watch the show you fucking weirdo
>>62828863
Suck his dick; fuck him in the butt.
Ben style
>>62828869
To every doctor pre 'Journey's End' Capaldi should exist, since in that episode 10 regenerates into himself (or his hand, or whatever bullshit...)
>>62828999
nice trips, but what do you mean? What has 10 regenerating into himself have to do with Capaldi? nfact it is stated in the episode/movie that The only one to remember all of this is 11.
>>62829127
I meant that every doctor that predates those events would expect there to be 13 different bodies in his lifetime.
>>62828869
Therefore, past versions would not be weirded out by his existence.
All this is conjecture ofcourse, since it is never brought up and past/future versions that meet rarely,if ever, discuss which number they are
>>62828848
>At least, it would be a canon Doctor.
>If it's 8 I will kill myself.
Why wait, do it now
>>62829243
this is something which could be funny in a future special.
8: all 13 of me could be drawn here
11: well 12
12: ..23 actually
W: so your including me now?
