I voted for TGWD/TWWL. Regardless of the feminine troll
>>62881286
I couldn't care less. I would like her to leave with as little impact as posssible
Anyone else think Jenna would make a good Lara Croft in a Tomb Raider movie reboot?
>>62881406
cool beans
I would like a non shitty ending and an entertaining story
>>62881412
Dear god NO. Are you a simpleton or are you trolling.
>>62881433
>I would like a non shitty ending and an entertaining story
well we are hoping with fingers crossed
>>62881412
Too short isn't she?
I'd rather see her stick to period dramas, something about her that suits that.
is this the last episode tomorow?
>>62881531
no. 2 more after it
3 left in total
>>62881550
not including the christmas episode
>>62881566
I won't be including it anyway.
all cool then
I watched some Doctor Who for the first time yesterday. The 11th doctor was meeting Winston Churchill and fighting daleks.
Ok. This show is... embarrassing. How can you all like it? I mean I want to like it, the show always looked fun to me, but it's just... manchild-y and cringey. What should I do?
>>62881644
Watch the next ep and just forget Victory of the Daleks..the next one is a two-parter featuring the Weeping Angels, and after that, the season is amazing with the exception of one or two episodes.
>>62881644
You picked a wrong episode to start with. But either way it's a show with very uneven quality which is more fun then sensible or mature. If you don't like it, watch something else.
>>62881670
>>62881670
I will keep this in mind and give it another shot. Thank you, kind anons.
>>62881644
How did you know he was the 11th doctor.
Starting here and forming an opinion from this episode just proves how much out of depth you are. Your opinion is immature at best. At last watch some of the other Doctor stories, classic and New Who.
>>62881704
Series 5 is the best one of the new series, apart from Victory, everything else is pretty great imo.
>>62881678
>which is more fun then sensible or mature
The "Doctor Who is not supposed to be fun go watch a comedy" crowd is going to get you! RUN!
>>62881670
Start with 'An unearthly child' and go forward from there.

WAKE UP /WHO/!!!!1ELEVENTY!!1
Doctor Who isn't supposed to be fun!!!!
Start with Planet of the Spiders and then watch Robot.
I'm sure it's been talked to death here already, but what in the cunting fuck was up with the last episode? It's like they never came up with an ending so the episode just sort of, stopped, even the Doctor remarks "None of this makes sense!"
Love and Monsters-tier bad, fuck.
>>62885769
...Well it was a gatiss episode. I think alot of people had a bit of a WTF moment at the end. It was needlessly convoluted.
>>62885798
This is the new companion. What do you think of her?
https://youtu.be/IwN4-Vp6_yY
Jessica Jones is out and /who/ has been dead all day. Coincidence? I think not.
>>62885867
Jesus Christ.
>>62885867
Did she steal those crocs from Colin Baker? I'd kinda like to see capaldi with a hot mess for a 1 off companion, for an episode.
>>62885879
Didnt realize it had dropped, thought we had until midnight. Probably pretty damned good right?
>>62885867
Is this Rose?
>>62885769
Science guy manipulated events and caused things like random lurching of the station to raise tension. He also gave exposition wrong.
The rest made sense.
>>62886042
What do you think of fun in Doctor Who? Is it at its core? Is it totally unnecessary? Would you like to get one or two funny romp episodes by series?
Reminder that tomorrow:
>Clara dies
>Red velvet era begins
>>62885769
>>62885798
It confused me most because it seemed like it would be a two-parter, because all the rest had been, and I assumed they were going with that as a kind of theme with all the 'mirrored' titles.
Then the episode ends with the solar system presumably being infected by the weird eye gunk stuff and I assumed next episode would be trying to fix it (although I didn't really see how they could pull it off) but instead... nothing. It just ends and that's that.
>>62886090
Reminder that in two weeks

>>62886148
Are you Girly Letters?
>>62886176
God, no. Why, did she say something similar?
>>62886081
It's supposed to be campy sci-fi with comedic elements. Most people watch doctor who because the doctor is amusing or humorous. Yes, absolutely 1 or two fun romp episodes are preferred. I think this series has been a bit too serious, but it hasn't been without laughs. I feel i've yet to see the doctor and clara having the "time of their lives" or their "glory days" i think it was described as being. That being said, I've still enjoyed the series thus far but not as much as series 8.
>>62886103
It seems as if Gatiss is promised by moff one episode a series, came up with a two parter because he thought like you that there was a two part theme to this series, and moff like a firm and loving father said "No, Mark. Just one, you can finish it next year." and went back to fucking with his action figures.
>>62886234
No but she has a massive crush on Peter and you sounded as obsessive as her.
>>62886081
Doctor Who doesn't have competent writers and access to tropes to effectively tackle serious issues. It's better not to try.
Fun does not necessary means a comedy, but make it in good pace, innovative, tense and amusing.
>>62886272
I know right? The anti fun brigade will come out soon to attract though :(
FACE THE RAVEN
>>62886318
Nah, just think it's funny he's turning into a cupcake.
"Mr Sandman" is fucking creepy. It should have been used better than that.
So who's the new companion going to be?
>>62886318
It's hard not to have a crush on Pcaps tbf.
>>62886355
That probably has more to do with "blood being in the water" than any actual opinion. I think you probably just tangled with some anons trolling you for sport or just being the devil's advocate. I don't think anyone thinks DW needs to go full grimdark, at least permanently. I don't mind the Doctor being an angry vengeful god once in awhile, just make me grin every few beats.
>>62886404
Black sassy lesbian companion when senpaitachi?
>>62886439
Agreed. The premise should have been "Morpheus makes your nightmares come to life", sleep-deprived Doctor doesn't know what's real and what's a dream, etc. "Morpheus makes your mucus come to life" is just goofy.
>>62886439
The chordette's version is spoopier than the monster mash that's for sure.
>>62886534
But then we would have probably bitched it was a nightmare on elmstreet/amy's choice rehash desu. This Gatiss doing pastiche/homages doesn't work. His best episode imo has been robots of sherwood, basically a fun romp. He needs to stop trying to peacock his horror fiction power levels.
I miss Matt :(

>>62886685
>>62886643
>His best episode imo has been robots of sherwood, basically a fun romp. He needs to stop trying to peacock his horror fiction power levels.
Couldn't agree more. I don't think his stories are as bad as people make them out to be, but he needs to realise that being a fan of horror doesn't automatically make him good at writing it. IMO, Cold War is his most enjoyable horror episode, although the ending was a total cop-out. Robot of Sherwood is his best contribution to date. He should write more stuff like the latter.
>tfw you will probably never see this jizz djinn in another piece of media you'll actually watch in this lifetime
>>62886746
Yeah, I don't know. We already have 8 + War + 10 + UNIT + River audios all going into 2017...
>>62886676
It's haunting, "Mr sandman" when he says "Yeeees?" sounds kind of ethereal, as so with the girls. It also kinda sounds a bit distorted I guess due to the recording technology. They lyrics seem pretty innocent but these girls are trying to conjure a man, what else could come to reality from one's dreams?
>>62886534
I'd prefer if they went way out there and just said that by cheating Sleep, the pent-up emotions of people manifested physically and found a way to work themselves out.
We're getting an episode featuring pirates in a cloud nebula next year. Written by Dollard apparently. Gatiss may have two episodes...
>>62885769
>“I don’t think the Doctor should win all of the time. He shouldn’t, because life’s like that. He’s the hero, and we want things to be wrapped up, but I think it’s quite nice if it’s ambiguous. He knows something is wrong. He leaves thinking, ‘This doesn’t make any sense.’ That’s also a get-out-of-jail card. There are going to be consequences because if Rassmussen succeeds, pressing that button, then it’s going to spread. So maybe there’s a sequel…”
http://www.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2015/11/doctor-who-13-things-you-may-not-know-about-sleep-no-more-by-mark-gatiss/
>>62886865
Seeing how it was received I think Moffat has used some alien tech to erase the idea of a sequel from Gatiss' memory.
>>62886862
Where is this from? I've seen it a few places now.
>>62886946
Not OP but where have you seen it?
>>62886779
His documentaries on horror are wonderful. An adventure made me cry. I kind of forget about Cold War for some reason. Maybe it's the trauma from the terrible cgi Idk. Matt's "laugh" at the end is what always stands out.
>>62886862
Skypirates, ok. One I assume would be the sequel to sleep. Which maybe it needs idk.
>>62886865
The doctor not winning was nice for a change I suppose.
Are you ready? To face the future? To face the past? To face the Raven.
>>62886779
>Cold War is his most enjoyable horror episode
Maybe in terms of damning by faint praise it's his best, but I didn't enjoy it.
>>62887140
>not avoiding eye contact with the raven
>>62886964
Twitter and GB. Doesn't seem to be in any of her recent interviews though, unless I've missed one.
Cold War was utter shit. Gatiss didn't even know what to do with it, it's not even 40 minutes long.
"I am the Doctor. I am coming for you and I will never, ever stop."
Heaven Sent is the best Moffat episode. Period.
Sarah Dollard is the next showrunner.

>"They say you're supposed to fear the man with nothing to lose. That's not true, that's stupid, are you joking? The man with nothing to lose is sloppy, reckless. He knows he has nothing to live for and he acts careless because of it. I say, fear the man with a mission. The man who has had something precious taken from them. The man that absolutely cannot afford to fail...is terrifying. I think that's terrifying. I...I, am terrifying."
Damn. Hell Bent is shaping up to be a real once in a generation type episode. Real masterpiece.

Dear Loed, Tom Hanks got old.
Anyone got a link to a download for Last of the Cybermen? Got in the mood for it today but apparently vk still hasn't uploaded it
>>62887434
How do you know her episode won't be worse than Woman who Lived?
>>62887794
Try an ABB search if you can't find stuff on VK.
http://audiobookbay.cc/audio-books/bf199-last-of-the-cybermen-doctor-who-big-finish/
>>62887860
Because it would have to be Fear Her tier to be worse than Woman Who Lived.
>>62887860
Nice, thank you. I've seen the site before but I couldn't remember the name....Where's the right download link?
>>62887939
How do you know it won't be?Anyway, I didn't think Woman was that bad.
>>62888021
"Torrent Free Downloads". You have to log in/register.
>>62888149
Right, thanks!
Also I agree on Woman not being that bad. It was a massive step up from Girl Who Died, at the very least.
>>62888149
>How do you know it won't be?
I dunno. Guess I'm just an optimist. Fear Her is such a next level occurrence of shit that I'm doubtful it could be replicated again.
>Anyway, I didn't think Woman was that bad.
I...don't quite know how to respond to this.
>>62888149
It was pretty incompetently pieced together. I expected more from her.
>>62888292
>I...don't quite know how to respond to this.
It's fine, you don't have to.
I agree that the actual plot with the alien lion was shit, but I liked the Doctor / Ashildr scenes.
>>62888278
>Also I agree on Woman not being that bad. It was a massive step up from Girl Who Died, at the very least.
Not that anon, but I actually preferred The Girl Who Died. I just saw it as a campy romp, and I always enjoy those light-hearted sorts of episodes. I just didn't like the arc stuff with Ashildr. It felt really incongruent, next to the inherent silliness of the story.
Shona and Winston Churchill have cameos in Hell Bent
Do we think the Eye of Hades will be how the Doctor makes it to Gallifrey?
>>62887369
>>62887413
Doctor Who and the Haremonics: The Musical
>>62888582
Yeah probably, and since it requires a death to open, Clara will probably die or give her own life
>>62888657
You fucking ruined the whole episode.
>>62888582
I'm still wondering who MADE the Eye of Hades... Gallifreyan tech? It's a "body-part-of-greek-word" item like the Hand of Omega.
And the Doctor was looking for it on the sly while Clara was working, that might be one of the things we didn't realize were significant or whatever Moff said.
>>62888729
I don't know what happens, just speculating. I'll be disappointed if that is how she leaves though. seems a bit predictable
>>62886042
It's great mate. Been watching most of the day and I haven't gotten bored yet. David is pretty damn amazing in this. The guy knows how to play a villain.
>>62888488
I'm usually a fan of romp stuff too, like Delta and the Bannermen or the Gunfighters, but Girl Who Died didn't do it for me, was just too silly. It gave off the vibe throughout the entire thing and at the 'galactic Youtube' part it became completely irredeemable. Women Who Lived was just much more well-written, and I'm always a fan of discussions on immortality and the bad sides of it, Ashildr's story was pretty good go at that.
Women Who Lived wasn't THAT good imo but it was solid and of surprising quality considering what came before it.
>>62888832
Is it really that good?
I wasn't really into Daredevil, and this one seems exactly the same..
>>62881670
>the season is amazing
>>62881735
>apart from Victory, everything else is pretty great
weeping angels two parter ruined them, Vampire of Venice is a bit shit, same with Silurian two parter, Lodger is shit "I wanna stay" overpowers and makes a science fair tardis explode, and Big Bang resolution and the coming together of the enemies is shit too. wish the doctor back? Let's make a box that a sonic can open like nothing? Let's all the enemies come together and this is the best we can do? U wot m8
>>62888467
Expanding on my own post, here's something Mad Larry wrote about a Torchwood episode by Tregenna:
>When Buffy the Vampire Slayer pioneered the fantasy / soap-opera hybrid, it was wise enough to understand that all the fantasy elements have to resonate with the "real" elements: the monsters are hormone-driven manifestations of the characters' own teenage angst, so the fantasy and the soap-opera are ultimately the same thing. Every fantasy-soap since Buffy has completely missed this (fairly essential) point, and given us stories about giant scorpions with "relationship" scenes thrown randomly into the mix, as if giant scorpions aren't interesting enough without the occasional detour into Sex and the City. Here we have a story about an enormously bloated whale-beast that sits around having chunks of fat cut off its body, but which is also about… Gwen having issues with her boyfriend. If I were the actor playing Rhys, then I'd feel offended by the subtext.
I've never seen Buffy, but I definitely agree with the basic point. The Woman Who Lived wanted to be about Ashildr's immortality, but since it's Doctor Who a random alien invasion plot was thrown in, and the two things felt totally disconnected. The episode needed some kind of alien/monster that was thematically linked to Ashildr's situation, and the plot needed to be more about that too. Instead, the character stuff was confined to the dialogue scenes and the fucking alien lion got the rest of the episode. I still thought it was kind of OK, but it could have been much better.
>>62889067

>>62881644
>Starting Doctor Who with Smith
Maximum shiggy, you brought it on yourself, normalfag. Start with An Unearthly Child or get the fuck out.
let's settle this
which is the WORST episode/serial of them all?
for me is "The Smugglers", hope they never retrieve it
Series 9 is a ratings flop. Fans just don't care about the show anymore it's even worse than hating it at least they were still watching. There's been a 2 million drop between Death in Heaven and The Magician's Apprentice. AI keep on dropping lower and lower week on week, getting to 76. The last score under 80 was Love and Monsters. The show is dead.
>>62889644
The worst story of all time is Sleep No More
>>62889499
>posts his shit list everyday on an anonymous Vietnamese quilting imageboard
please tell me how I can have the fun you're having
>>62889659
Because Death in Heaven was irredeemable shit
and instead of you know, getting rid of the companion that everyone hated
they kept her instead! They assured everyone that everything would be just as shit. Everyone fucking left
>>62889687
Last Christmas had good ratings and Clara was featured in all the promo.
>>62889659
Tennant and RTD back when?
You'd think the BBC and Moffat would at least try and experiment with bringing RTD back to guest write something,and Jack
>>62889717
And then after that shit dropped
Because that epsiode told everyone "yes we are keeping Clara she is not dead
>>62889717
Haha no everyone thought she was done. They kept her a secret.

I know that but who's "everyone"
Reminder Series 9 is aiming at "mature" audiences with dark and edgy themes and utterly failing (ie ratings flop), it's even not done properly and it's not Doctor Who anymore and it's flopping for these reasons:
>ratings have dropped 2 millions between Death in Heaven and The Magician's Apprentice
>AI have been getting lower and lower with each episode reaching an all time low of 78, no episode fell under 80 since Love and Monsters (76)
>dark unlikeable Doctor

>>62889758
No, she was featured on magazine covers, articles, in the clip for Children in Need and all the other promo clips. It was clear she was going to be in it before it aired.
>>62889757
That's your theory, but it's not supported by anything. Alternatively it got an AI of 82 so people were happy with the episode that ended with Clara getting back in the TARDIS.
Personally I think ratings dropped because of the ill judged time slot and the poor pre series promotion. Next year could show if this was the case if they make a change. The show is far from a ratings flop however, it's still one of the most watched shows on television. But there's obviously been a decrease from last year for some reason.
>>62889982
Fun, at least. Cause at least Ten and Rose had fun having adventures. 12 and Clara just don't seem to like it. They're in a relationship that's just like an old habit you can't quit like smoking or drugs or candies or bubble gums.

Not true, they not getting lower with each episode, SNM was just a low point. Inversion was as high as TMA.

Series two: dick joke, blowjob joke, idiocy abound.

You should see RTD era again which was all out-of-focus vaselined lences and BLUE AND ORANGE EVERYTHING.
Repost. Spoiler tag went wrong.
Capaldi's speech at the end of Face the Raven:"I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to give you a head start. I'm going to wait, and I'm going to let you run. But remember this: no matter how far you choose to go, you will always be looking over your shoulder, from now until the day you are dust. No matter where you end up, no matter which corner of the universe you choose to seek refuge, I will always be there, like the breath on the back of your neck. The shadow in your nightmares, one step behind yet two steps ahead. And if the terror does not claim you, know only this - I will. I will end you, and everything you have ever loved. Now on your marks."

Wow, one scene in 9 episodes which really was just pretending so the Mire would fall in their trap.
>>62890069
What's with the obsession with RTD and Series 2? I fucking hate Series 2. But it was funnier than Series 9. Series 4, 5 and 7 balanced fun and serious matters brilliantly. Series 9 is just dark dark and dark.
>>62890146
/who/ hates Series 2 and RTD
>>62890101
Well yeah. But it's also 12 and Clara's relationship.
>>62890146
>Wow, one scene in 9 episodes which really was just pretending so the Mire would fall in their trap.
What is the first scene of "Under the lake" with 'em then?
>>62890146
>But it was funnier than Series 9.
If you have a brain damage probably yes.
>>62890085
Proof?
Who here is hype for Clara's death tomorrow?
>>62890173
They weren't having fun. Clara wanted a proper adventure but the TARDIS decided against that.
No. At least there were 3 or 4 funny scenes. That's 3 or 4 more than Series 9. If you want really funny series take Series 4 or 5.
>>62890164
Well yes but I didn't even mention it so stop comparing them.
>>62890196
>one scene and pretending
>>62890061
>literally during a part they're supposed to put on the pretense that they're noncombative and just having a party
Not that anon but u wot m8?
>>62890146
>Wow, one scene in 9 episodes which really was just pretending so the Mire would fall in their trap.
Who says they were pretending? They were having fun, and had just as much fun later when they were showing the Mire how they'd recorded them running from nothing.
They were also enjoying themselves when they escaped at the end of TWF, during Under the Lake when they kept smiling and joking throughout and getting excited over the 'ghosts', and every other time when it was appropriate and lives weren't in danger. So, like every other series pretty much. This 'series 9 is grim dark' meme is ridiculously unfounded, it's no darker than most of the other nu Who series have been. It's also less dark than Series 3 or 8 were.
>>62890274
>They weren't having fun. Clara wanted a proper adventure but the TARDIS decided against that.
" Come on! we're on a roll! Monsters, things blowing up.
Oh, hey, can we go back to that place
where the people with the long necks have been celebrating New Year
for two centuries? I left my sunglasses there. And most of my dignity. "
If alien parties and adventures is not "fun" i don't know what is. Probably wanting to see death of your father or hanging out in London all the time craving over Doctor's cock.
>>62890274
>Well yes but I didn't even mention it so stop comparing them.
No one's comparing anything. People are telling you that Series 2 is also " aiming at "mature" audiences with dark and edgy themes and utterly failing"
I thought Series 9 was meant to be the "glory days" for The Doctor and Clara?
>Episode 1/2, Clara is seemingly killed then abused by Missy by being locked in a dalek.
>Episode 3/4, The Doctor and Clara are separated for most of the story
>Episode 5, The Doctor basically ignores Clara and focuses on Ashildr
>Episode 6, Clara's not even in it
>Episode 7, Real Clara's not even in it
>Episode 8, le Bonnie
>Episode 9, The only time they have a proper adventure. Worst episode of the series.
>Episode 10, dead.
>Episode 11/12, ??
Them glory days sure are fun!
>>62890349
SHOW DON'T TELL. I can say I've been to the most fun planet of the universe with rollercoaster galaxy and a zoo of the most rare species of the universe but that wouldn't be fun.
>>62890309
Okay I admit you're right but
>less dark than Series 3 or 8
What? I mean what? Series 9 has 12 pointing a gun at a child, foreshadowing of Clara's death all around, the Doctor being grave for no reason, dark and mature themes (Zygons/Muslims) and more. Series 3 and 8 had none (arguably Kill the Moon but the subtext isn't as blatant as Zygons).
>>62890363
Oh. Well that was because at that time the show was still aimed at kids. Now the audience is more split.
>>62890468
>SHOW DON'T TELL. I can say I've been to the most fun planet of the universe with rollercoaster galaxy and a zoo of the most rare species of the universe but that wouldn't be fun.
Just fuck off.
>>62890442
THIS.
>>62890442
But they danced in The Girl Who Died and Clara said she went to the planet of the long necks and tanks and sunglasses and... And anyway Doctor Who isn't supposed to be fun so go watch a comedy!;)
>>62890531
I know, it's just "these are the Doctor and Clara's glory days!" seemed to be something incessantly parroted at the promotion for the series.
'glory days' adventures off screen doesn't count. S9 has been depressing and I can't wait for Clara to leave.
>>62890489
No YOU fuck off. Moffat's fucking problem has always been telling rather than showing and now it's extending to fun.
>>62890442
Not as bad as Six/Flip situation
>The Curse of Davros - Paired with Davros
> The Fourth Wall - dead
> Wirrn Isle - separated from the Doctor
> Antidote to Oblivion - mostly out under the drugs
> The Brood of Erys - separated from the Doctor
> Scavenger - out
>>62890531
you really seem to be obsessing over this "DOCTOR WHO ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE FUN" shite
calm down m8
>>62890561
Yes indeed it's dark and depressing. I just can't anymore. Moffat needs to chill or fuck off.
>>62890598
I'm taking the piss and memeing about the retards who really, not sarcastically, not jokingly think the show shouldn't be fun.
>>62890531
Love and Monsters is one of my favourite episodes simply because it is a fun episode. I can watch it multiple times and still enjoy it. I can't do that with something like Listen because it becomes pretentious and it takes itself too seriously.
The GB mods are cunts.
I hope cfarley sees this and goes and runs to them crying about how mean /who/ is.
>>62890468
>Series 3 and 8 had none (arguably Kill the Moon but the subtext isn't as blatant as Zygons).
Series 3 had the Doctor ignoring his new companion a lot in favor of moping about his previous one, the Face of Boe dying, the Doctor becoming a human and that human version essentially dying, the Master taking over the Earth and capturing the Doctor for a year of horrific atrocities and torturing the Doctor and Martha's family and ended with Martha leaving him for not treating her right and to take care of her traumatised family.
Series 8 had people from every episode dying and showing up in 'heaven' greeted by a psycho Mary Poppins, the Doctor and Clara struggling to stay friends after he regenerated, and Clara's bf dying in a car crash and then being grimly resurrected as a cyberman only to blow himself up and order a lot of other people who'd been resurrected as cybermen to explode with him.
For the record I liked both these series but they certainly had a lot of darker themes and were arguably more depressing than series 9 if you're sensitive to that sort of thing.

>>62890669
Series 8 seemed more like a proper adventure. Different places, different monsters. Even Daleks and Cybermen brought something new on the table.
Just fucking give me The Unicorn and the Wasp 2 and a sassy funny companion like Donna and I'll be happy. Come on Moffat.
>>62890626
oh
sorry then m80
>>62890718
It's an effect of all the two parters this year. Less variety in locale and monsters because there's less stories overall.
>>62890725
The Memorable part of that episode was Donna kissing Ten
>>62890725
watch S4
>>62890690
Yes but, you fucking retard, they did show in romp episodes the fun they had and we're saying "Yeah we went there and had fun!" in other episodes. This year they're just saying "Yeah we went there we had lots of fun" we just don't see they're really enjoying it. Fuck off you autist.
>>62890766
I didn't remember that
>>62890783
if you want that shit so bad then:
read the comics
read the DWM comics
read the books
>>62890766
Everything was great. The silliness of the alien Wasp, the stereotypical characters, the investigation, Donna and Ten memeing around.
>>62890773
Well then if you want dark shit then go watch Series 6. I want something new. Jesus Christ saying "go watch S4" is so fucking retarded you should throw your computer out the window.
>>62890788
It's a funny scene

What happened in your lives that you feel like you must hate and banish all fun? You're seriously fucked up. Go seek some help. Seriously.
Spoilers:She probably doesn't die. Red herring i'm guessing
>>62890903
Who are you talking to? I just disagree that Series 9 isn't fun. I'm having a good time with it.

>Moffat's fucking problem has always been telling rather than showing and now it's extending to fun.
>he Doctor took me to this planet
a while back.
It was much colder than this.
They called it Women Wept.
The planet was actually called Women
Wept cos if you looked at it from
above, there's this huge continent,
like all curved round. It sort of
Oh, my God, and we went
to this beach, right?
No people, no buildings, just this
beach like a thousand miles across.
Something had happened, something
to do with the sun, I don't know,
but the sea had just frozen.
Like in a split second,
in the middle of a storm, right?
Waves and foam, just frozen,
all the way out to the horizon.
OH MY
HOW RTD COULD NOT SHOW THIS THE HACK
>>62890750
It's more then that. Zygon Inv was the only proper thrilling story, ridiculous ending notwithstanding.
Magicians was lots of filler with some pointless new additions to Dalek lore, oddly redundant with I2D
Ghosts started good if slow before going with ridiculous fakeouts
Maisiefest was OK but tedious.
>yfw all the chronolock or whatever "kills" Clara actually does is separate her timeline from everyone else's, so she's "shunned" and can never again meet or interact with them
Evening four channers, I'm aware that this will appear outlandish, but in the final scene of S9E12, Hell Bent, this song plays as The Doctor strolls through the TARDIS remembering Clara!

Did I even mention RTD? Your obsession with him is unhealthy, go seek some mental help.
I said it's now extending to fun. In Series 5 they showed plenty of things instead of just telling. Same goes for Series 4. And if you weren't such a fucking retarded autist you should read this post >>62890783

So will Episode 12 lead straight into the Christmas Special or will there be some time in between where there'll be room for whatever lonely adventures the Doctor decides to have in the minds of fanfiction writers
"I have desynched your timeline from the universe's. You're here but not really. Stuck in a nexus of time. No one can ever see you again, but you can see everyone else. Lost, alone. This is what you deserve. I hope it drives you mad."
