I resent the idea the Doctor is all knowing, how he was able to calculated the atmospheric density from the petal, the exact position through the stars, even the gravity from the stool was a push, not to mention he can slow down time like the flash now and do what he wants, this is all too cartmel for me.

I mean really, knowing his exact locations from the stars, think about it, to do that accurately you'd need a 360° view from the planet, so first off it's impossible, secondly he'd need to know the exact location of every single planet at every single time, to the year, even to the month if planets were orbiting quickly, I don't believe anyone would be able to do that, I don't want the Doctor to be infallible, it ruins the character.

Reminder that Clara's gonna become a Time Lady, regenerate, get touched by a Weeping Angel, wind up on Gallifrey back to before the Doctor was born, and turn out to be the Doctor's mother when The Woman reveals herself to be Clara.

A telepathic field binding the whole human race together, with all of them, every single person on Earth, thinking the same thing at the same time. And that phrase is Bravo, Moffat.
>>
>>63172194

He already knows what time he's in by licking his finger and putting it up to the air.

And he doesn't slow down time, he just thinks really damn fast. Sorta fits the "super genius" bit.

Don't get me wrong, I like reversing the polarity of the neutron flow but being able to tell by the position of the stars where you are, exactly is impossible.
>>
>>63172249
Don't act like it's not possible.

Being touched by a weeping Angel for example would send Clara back to before the Doctor was born due to her presence in his entire time Stream, so before Clara prime was born wouldn't be enough since "she" existed before that

He never says exactly, he must be estimating where he is. Then again he is a space traveller already 2000 years old by then, if lowly sailors can get orientation from stars I doubt he will find it difficult.
>>
>>63172194
>I mean really, knowing his exact locations from the stars, think about it, to do that accurately you'd need a 360° view from the planet
You realize people have known how to determine their exact location from the stars and used this to navigate at sea for thousands of years, right?

You know exactly where you are in your town- without looking at street name signs- just from they way everything looks around you.

The Doctor's traveled long enough to be able to do the same on a galactic level.

Come on, it's sci-fi. He's not all-knowing or omnipotent, he's just had a lot of time to learn this stuff.
>>
>>63172194
There are a LOT of reasons to hate the new Doctors, but this is one of the stupidest ones. Time Lords have more refined senses than a human which they augment with insane intelligence so it's not going to be a surprise he can calculate atmospheric density and gravity and shit. Hell a human can approximate those things. And one of the things that always pissed me off during the Tennant days was how shit his timing always was for a master of time. He always arrived too late to save people and fucked up shit constantly. They're REALLY not making good use of the potential of a Time Lord in the new Doctor Who. Stuff like what you complained about is just an inkling of actually doing shit finally right.

>>63172368
Pure. Fucking. Cancer.
>HURR I CAN MOVE FASTER THAN I CAN SEE OR THINK!!

God, comics are shit.
>>
>>63172405
You have missed the time portion of that equation.

A sailor in 1450ad on his way to America can know his exact location from the stars because no time passes and he knows no time passes, for the Doctor he would need to know exactly where every planet in the universe is at exactly every year ever, that's impossible, even for the Doctor. I don't deny he knows where Gallifrey is from the stars in year x but not from every single year.
>>
>>63172212
Thoughts?
>>
>>63172492

Given how much the doctor cares about earth it's not unreasonable to think he's familiar with what the visible stars look like over the course of time

He could also just be estimating based on the quantity of stars in the sky
>>
Explain why you think series 9 ISN'T the best revival series by far.
>>
>>63172582
No.
>>
>>63172485
But that's impossible, he'd have to know literally every planet in the universe and literally every planet relevant to it at every year in that planets history, if he's even a thousand years out every star will look completely different as planets were destroyed and suns burned out and other suns started, all that is too much for even the Doctor.
>>
>>63172611
Why would I explain something that simply isn't true?

Series 9 is the best season of Doctor Who since Douglas Adams was script editor.
>>
>>63172611
Its had two good episodes and one GOAT episode, everything else has been embarrassing or bland.
>>
>>63172582
RTD knew how to write a flawed character. He knew what would resonate with people.

When I see fans reaction the DW they like the idea of the Doctor struggling with his dark side. when people see trailers for episode 12 the comments section mention Timelord Victorious.
>>
>>63172615
Why?
>>
>>63172588
He wasn't on earth though, he was on Gallifrey and unless he's charted the skies every century or so of gallifrey's existence there's no possible way he could have known from the stars he was on Gallifrey.
>>
>>63172627
>all that is too much for even the Doctor.
Why? He's not human, he's a Time Lord, one of the most powerful species in the history of the universe and he's been all over the universe and time itself. I'm pretty sure it's not a stretch for a time traveling, intergalactic being to have a decent understanding of heavenly movements. That's literally what his character is all about. If you removed that element from him he'd just have quirks and get put in a nut ward.
>>
>>63172627
He wouldn't have to know every planet, just basic galactic geography over a long enough period of time. It wouldn't be exact, it'd just be approximate. He even approximates in the episode, and we only see some of his approximations. There might have been dark periods where he just had no idea where he was- it shouldn't have affected his ability to find Room 12.
>>
>>63172655
Every episode except Sleep No More has at least been enjoyable on a first viewing.
>>
>>63172660
Yep. I think that's a major problem with moffat's run, he just can't or refuses to write consistently flawed and believeable characters.

>Time Lords don't know the entire spectrum of time for their own planet

>given the type of teleporter I couldn't be more than one light year away from where I started

He arrived on gallifrey as a result of breaking through the thing
>>
>>63172721
Bullshit
>>
>>63172582
He was never written like that apart from Mars and just before his regeneration. The rest of his run weir meant to hero worship his smug aggrandizing behavior. The only real character arc he had apart from that was muh rose.
>>
>>63172720
>>63172711
But galaxies don't last very long, relatively to the Doctor, stars burn out and are born so imagine every galaxy in the universe, at every time in the universe, he'd need to memorise every single one at the creation and death of every star, even a Timelord's life isn't long enough for that.
>>
>>63172741
Wow, I'm only trying to, you know, generate discussion about the show. Jeez dude, I guess I should just stick to memeposting next time.
>>
>>63172774

Not everyone is a crabby crandall like you anon
>>
>>63172672
But the sky was Earth's sky, he thought he was within one light year of Earth and seeing the starts didn't change his mind, it just made him think he was in the future. And the fact that he was accurately able to determine how much time had passed based on the stars pretty much confirms he was right about the sky being Earth's sky even if the confession dial was on Gallifrey.
>>
>>63172793
What?
>>
>>63172747
>hey guys, I know we're not meant to interfere or change history but let's go on a field trip back to the beginning of our planet, but if one of you immature children even so much as breath on a rock the entire history of our existence and as such the existence of every planet in the universe will he changed

No, Time lords aren't meant to go to things like this, too much risk.
>>
>>63172721
I agree.
>>63172774
I can MAYBE lump Zygon Invasion into the same category, but everything else was incredibly enjoyable all the way through on first viewing, and a lot of it feels very rewatchable (Heaven Sent, Inversion, Lake/Flood, and Girl Who died/Woman Who Lived especially).
>>
>>63172721
If you're easily pleased then good for you but don't lump everyone else in with you.
>>
>>63172767
The confession dial was on Gallifrey, he was in the confession dial, you're wrong.

>>63172780
THE. DOCTOR. IS. A. TIME. TRAVELER.

Holy shit. Why am I feeling the need to point out the entire premise of Doctor Who over and over again here? This is like bitching about the unrealistic nature of dinosaurs being in Jurassic Park and asking over and over again why there are dinosaurs in this movie.
>>
>>63172611
It's literally impossible. Moffat is at the top of his game
>>
>>63172880

I'm right though
>>
>>63172780
Also remember he was in his confession dial. It's arguable that everything was positioned in such a way that he would know what to make of it. It was a prison designed for him, after all. Just another clue to distract him while the Veil approached.

You're just being petty now. He's a time-traveling alien, remove the stick from your ass, please.
>>
>>63172889
Bullshit
>>
>>63172883
He's a time traveler, not an astronomer.
>>
>>63172194

He comes from a race of aliens scientists with the technology to travel through space and time. He's also been around for thousands of years. A human with a piece of paper and a stopwatch can figure out local acceleration due to gravity. An ancient alien scientist could figure it out easy.
>>
>>63172934

Again, Invasion was mediocre, but Inversion was a more than worthwhile pay off.

>>63172959
You realize even HUMANS can do this sort of shit and it happens in life or death situations LITERALLY ALL THE TIME, don't you? But oh no, a fucking god can't do something like that. That would be stronger than humans (which it isn't) and I'm a dumb pleb so nothing is better than.

God damn you people are insufferable. Not only do you not even know what HUMANS are capable of, you somehow assume that one of the most powerful beings ever in the history of the universe can't do simple fucking shit like estimate gravity. God damn.

>>63173037

So that's why every fucking snowflake Doctor Who fan nowadays parrots shit like "I want to be the doctors companion but only one sociopath per tardis lol edgy" and derivatives.

Now I get it.

Moffat did the same with Sherlock
"I'm such an high functioning sociopath so special and unique but also secretly edgy".

Histrionic Betty Boops usually like that sort of shit.

Fucking Moffat.

>>63173172
In that case, glad you agree.
>>
I don't get why Caves of Androzani is considered so magnificent, all it is is a phantom of the opera turns into a mole because he's fugly, builds robots and starts a war with the surface people, that doesn't seem too mould breaking, literally the plot of the Silurians.

That episode. Fuck.

I was beginning to lose faith in the show, especially Moffat. Face the Raven was great. Heaven Sent was a completely different level. This was easily one of the best episodes in the entire show, on its entire 50+ year run. Killing the Doctor billions of times, the Bird, everything about it was so good.

Moffat's still got it. Talaylaylaylay proves to be a fantastic director yet again. Marigold actually did very well for the first time in a long while. And Capaldi knocked it out of the park.

Because Clara's death is fresh in his mind. She literally died seconds before they dragged him into the castle.

It's nothing special though. He just talks to himself and cries over Clara.

Nothing happens, and the story doesn't advance at all.

Stop acting like it's something great. There is no point watching the whole thing.

Were you also confused when he kept talking to Clara throughout the episode? She's his best friend.

I mean, there might have been a few fucked up clones with like a missing leg or something. It just wouldn't be relevant to the story as long as they eventually figured out they had to pull the lever.

It was part of the confession dial and as such, like the dial, the flower and the window reset itself.

Unless of course the Doctor drew it with his bodily fluids, then it wouldn't get reset as it would be part of him.

d-did the Doctor draw it with his multicoloured timelord cum?

It was Earth's sky. This is litterally one of the first things the Doctor says in the episode. The teleporter looked like something that could only teleport within 1 lightyear and so he uses that as the basis of all his calculations.
>>
Matt Smith just died in a card accident.
>>
>>63174004
But no. They're not genetic clones, they're molecule-for-molecule copies based on the information inside the teleport. As long as that data wasn't corrupted it wouldn't matter how many copies you made.
>>
>>63174005
It's still a nice homage
>>
>>63173915
>>63174004
>being wrong

First off the entire thing was a simulation, as in, not real, so there would be no wrong clones

Secondly, it wasn't a cloning machine, it was a teleporter that reset, so if it didn't fail the first time it never would because it reset.
>>
>>63174004
>you clone a clone you're going to run into degradation.

He wasn't cloning a clone though you absolute spastic. The doctor wasn't imprinting his genetic code into the teleporter he was using the residual energy of his dying body to recharge the teleporter which still had the data of the last person who used it, The Doctor

The clone was used to power the teleporter to make a new Doctor from the original template. No clones were cloned,
>>
>>63174044
I still don't get why he said what he said, the actual quote was:
>The equipment in that room is consistent with an augmented ultra long-range teleport.

Why would an "ultra long range teleport" only be able to teleport such a short distance? Surely the name implies it could teleport within an ultra long range?
>>
>>63174102

But it's not saving a file 1000 times. The doctor's file is only saved once, and each new clone comes directly from it - every doctor clone comes from the exact same source, not a chain of degrading quality

>>63173853
this is tricky to put into words

Green Light - Magicians Apprentice/Witch's familiar
1 and 2 - good moments with Davros and Master, it does play around with lore. you might be anal about it

Orange Light - Under the lake/before the Flood
3 and 4 - enjoyable classic styled base under siege story with a twist, villains a bit underused though

Orange Light - The girl who died/The woman who lived
5 and 6 - tonials issues, they go from wacky to dramatic the first is average butt eh second is better

Green Light - Zygon Invasion/Inversion
7 and 8 - the Zygon story, a good thriller, its the invasion of the week formula but I liked it, I just dont bother with the political undertones. I just thought it was funny they went there.

Red Light - Sleep no more
9 - fucking awful, trying to be clever and break the 4th wall

Green Light - face the Raven
10 - The best departure for a companion for a new Who companion, so glad they resisted the typical bullshit

Green Light - Heaven Sent
11 - great, brilliant use of sci-fi trope, Classic Moffat returns

so overall worth a watch
>>
>>63174122
Maybe one lightyear is the absolute limit of teleport technology. Also I'm still not sure if this is the same or a different thing from transmat.

When he got to the castle, he only knew he could be within one light year of that alley he had been in. Long Rangish.

What he hadn't worked out yet was that he only went five feet and was then carried in a satchel to Gallifrey. Somehow.

gee, maybe that's the limit of teleport technology. Or maybe he named it that because, at the time, a light year was the farthest anyone could've been teleported. A light year is a long distance.
