Into the Mystery Room Edition
Previously at Grandma's house >>63286825
I've got the perfect idea for a RPG game /who/.
>Your character is a Time Lord coming of age.
>Opening chapter is on Gallifrey before the Time War.
>It includes your family (based on your created character) and their home.
>Your character is a Gallifreyan who is about to graduate Time Lord Academy
>However you don't get to choose your Title.
>Instead, Rassilon personally congratulates you for being the top graduate.
>Gives you a Brand New TARDIS as a result.
>He also secretly tasks you with exploring the universe and catalouging it.
>He names you "The Cartographer"
>The main game is essentially a universal sandbox
>Each Planet has its own story elements which are initialized once you interact with certain elements of the planet.
>The actual story missions begin after you piece together clues regarding the said elements.
>They usually involve something simple like stopping genocide, helping a community, etc.
>You can play the entire game without attacking once. Pacifist runs are possible.
>Direct TARDIS piloting works like No Man's Sky, Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen rolled into one.
>TARDIS vortex travel works more like Universe Sandbox or fast travel.
>You can only vortex travel to regions in space you've already mapped.
>>63292319
First for here's hoping we'll be seeing Gallifrey's northern continent of Salford Ecclesterium again.
Did RTD return to DW while I wasn't looking?
How long do you think he spent sniffing her seat after she left?

Congratulations, you just wrote the most expensive game of all time. Prolly the longest one to make, too.
Not saying it wouldn't be sick, tho.Anyone play that TARDIS mod for Fallout NV? It's surprisingly great, makes flying the TARDIS fun and interesting.

It's a shame Brian Glover's dead. It'd be hilarious to have him as a Timelord.

nothing about the christmas special is looking good desu
i'm not a moff hater but it just looks bad.
Anyone else feel they're overusing the Cloister Bells?
I thought it was for imminent universe destroying shit
>>63292410
>>You can only vortex travel to regions in space you've already mapped.
Doesn't this completely defeat the purpose of everything? The whole point is showing up somewhere in unfamiliar surroundings and proceeding to be captured by the natives before uniting with them to overthrow the rebels/uniting with the rebels to overthrow them.
>>63292625
nuwho has overused it a bit
>>63292625
>implying the Doctor isn't about to DESTROY RASSILON ANUS
>>63292651
Especially in Moffat's era, according to the wiki it was even used in that beginning shot with Clara in The Girl Who Died
>>63292410
we posting Who vidya ideas?
>Telltale-like adventure game
>12 episodes
>Play as the Doctor's new companion
>Some time shenanigans happens and you end up with Hartnell
>you have to get back to your original time
>Each episode you have an adventure with a different Doctor
John Simm's scene in Hell bent was short but effective.
>>63292634
I think he means the fast travel element. Fly the TARDIS normally, finding unexplored places, then once they're unlocked, use the vortex to get there "instantly".
>>63292733
gr8 b8 m8
>>63292625
>>63292651
IIRC they were only used in the classic series once, when the Tardis materialised inside itself and spawned an endless fractal that would tear the universe apart.
In the new series they use them every time the Doctor has a bad hair day.
>>63292744
Yeah, that's my point, if you fly over a war zone you can just nope the fuck out, if you materialise there you're stuck, The whole point of a Tardis is to be able to go anywhere, even uncharted places, it's a travel machine.
>>63292726
Who-based Battlefront game with various factions
>Time Lords are the pompous fucks with OP shit like time looping and de-mat guns. They regen after death every time.
>Daleks can float and 1-hit KO most infantry units.
>Sontarans still have their glaring weakness behind their neck. Have the most extensive arsenal.
>Weeping Angels are random enemies dropped into the area. Eye meters are introduced during this mode.
>Space Battles are in the game, including Time War era WarTARDISes and Dalek Saucers.
>All 13 versions of the Doctor are playable, as well as the Master Rassilon, Omega, Rani and other Time Lords
>Al factions have their own special fighters as well.
>>63292837
The curator?
>>63292876
Do you even Who?
>>63292838
That's true, but the TARDIS by nature is gameplay-breaking. I was trying to work around that while still keeping true to what the TARDIS is.
>>63292410
I feel that combating enemies would involve lots of running, or using the environment against them. Perhaps returning to Gallifrey every now and again to pick up blueprints for new devices you can make out of scavenged junk.
Building your own sonic screwdriver, robotic companion or TARDIS control room would be hella fun.
>>63292876
do you even series 9?
>>63292872
>Space TARDIS combat
>>63292699
Well to be fair they were getting attacked, The Cloister Bell signals danger, they were in danger... seems ok to me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9R8MFD8dszI
This scene always brings me to tears! I miss this sort of great acting in who.
>>63292625
>Read up on it
>Seems to be used at appropriate times
>Only 8 instances on TV (books and audios not included)
>Enter Moff era
>Used 14 times since 2010
Blimey.
>>63292726
The thing with who games is, would materialisation be capped? Because theoretically the Tardis should be able to keep hopping but in the show he rarely uses it and it would be pretty pointless if you could just nope the fuck out of everything.
>>63292906
In the old series, the Tardis had a cooldown between landing and takeoff (See The chase), that could maybe balance being able to get out of any situation.
>>63292876
Curator? But I only just met 'er!
>>63292969
Cunning ruse, friend. Although Tennant is good.
>>63292969
are you implying the acting is bad now?

>>63292546
Reminds me, Part 2
>As you progress the story, your reputation among various races increases.
>This reputation is relayed back to Gallifrey via your TARDIS. As a result, Rassilon begins to unlock access to more advanced Time Lord technology for you.
>Sonic screwdrivers are customizable and are able to be equipped with various functions.
>You will have random encounters with dangerous enemies depending on your location in the Universe, i.e. Weeping Angels, Cybermen, etc.
>It's your job to spend Time in your TARDIS Library reading up on these enemies, finding their weaknesses prepping gear, etc. Otherwise you're fucked.
>You can always return back to Gallifrey at any point, as the TARDIS is the only thing that can bypass the Transduction Barrier.
>The climax of the game is the Time War
>Depending on your reputation you can get one of 3 multiple endings.
>1 - Help Rassilon initiate the Ultimate Sanction, kill everything and become a God.
>2 - Run away like The Master, hide on Earth as Gallifrey burns
>3 - Aid the Doctor, all 13 of his incarnations to stop the Daleks from destroying Gallifrey

It's actually pretty good if you're lucky and don't run into too many bugs (and if you can stand playing a Bethesda game obviously)

>>63292872
Why does it say "The War Doctor" and not just "War." The other ones don't say "The nth Doctor."
>>63292906
>>63292995
Well okay, how about following the nature of what the TARDIS does in the show, in that the journey is random. You have no choice of where to go at first. It's just flinging you about the universe, at varying points of its history.
Only when you've found somewhere, can you lock it, so that it's in the TARDIS databanks and can be returned to, a la fast travel.
>>63293008
Yes. Capaldi can't express any sort of believable emotion. He's a wooden actor. I prefer tennant because of this.
>>63292726
implying it wouldn't be something like the 5 doctors.
>each chapter you play as a different doctor
>it could be any jumble of them
>for instance 7, 6, 8, 10, 12
>last chapter all the doctors unite

mmmmm
I miss my ham and cheese
>>63293065
here we go again...`
>>63292788
4th, 5th and 8th Doctor all had the Cloister Bell rung once in canon, whilst 10 had it ring five times. 11 and 12 have had it fourteen times between them.
>>63292961
Parting of the Ways/bad wolf had the greatest Tardis war scene ever, the whole 9-dalek shit was incredible.
Last episode kinda reminded me of Ace "What a Guy" Rimmer:

gotta hand it to you it was a great attempt

Skyrim has a TARDIS mod as well.

The developer's still working on it IIRC.
>>63293070
>Well okay, how about following the nature of what the TARDIS does in the show, in that the journey is random.
This is true, but the point is to be a completely different Time Lord who is tasked with literally mapping the entire Universe. Nonetheless, you described the game perfectly.
Spoilers for series finale you faggots?
>>63293131
the doctor gets a new sonic
>>63292969

Nah, that's Moffat Era
RTD Era:
>when the Tardis was turned into a paradox machine and subsequent paradox
>cause 5th and 10th Doctor Tardis crash
>Turn Left cause Reality Bomb incoming
>Waters of Mars cause End of Time
Moffat:
>Tardis engines going in and out of phase
>cause teleported to ship
>cause taken over by House
>when trapped in decaying pocket universe
>when damaged by salvagers cause shields were down
>when GI entered time stream
>when 12 passed out after regeneration
>when 12 passed out again
>cause weakened by dimension sucking things and put in path of train
>cause went back in time as part of bootstrap paradox
>cause went back in time again as further part of bootstrap paradox
>cause Clara lost in space
>>63292462
Of all the RTD things to ripoff I wouldn't think Max Capricorn would top the list
>>63293131
Moffat regenerates into RTD who then regenerates into Mark Gatiss an becomes Show Runner
>>63293131
John Simm is back for a small cameo
Clara is time lady
Hybrid is Me
>>63293087
Just fix it you bitch.
>>63293166
What's the funniest scene of the RTD Era and why is it the scene where Astrid and Max Capricorn die?
>>63293097
How the hell would Space TARDIS combat even work?
Like a normal space fighter? Or do they get to cheat and jump into the Vortex?
>>63293034
except he wouldn't
>>63293131
Capaldi is the Valeyard
Simms regens into Gomez
Clara is the HybridExterminate the gallifreyans time war now
>>63293258
>not the bee episode
>>63293177
>no
>no
>no
>>63293258
The editing is hilarious. I read the Writer's Tale and RTD waffles on about this shitty episode FOReVER.
>>63293177
Plot synopsis?
>>63293258
Jesus fucking Christ
What made RTD produce the most over-the-top episode in existence?
>reminder that this is the most watched xmas special
>>63293258
Holy shit, how did they get Brittany Spears as a companion?
>>63293258
Don't laugh m8. He was totally going to marry Astrid. What a tragedy of true love.
>>63293275
>A man who never would
>>63293329
>nothing but over the top music
>slow motion tennant scream
>those hilarious faces max capicorn makes
Regenerating would be fucking awesome, getting to chose an entirely new personality and skill-set when you die.
But there'd have to be a penalty attached, you'd have to lose something, progress-wise, basically starting over from scratch as far as "leveling" your character goes.
Or how about buffs that you can't get to choose Random elements the game picks for you each time that can have positive or negative effects, like an increase in clumsiness, or more charismatic.
>>63292410
Nah, i wouldn't enjoy that. Id go really really edgy and make a timesplitters type game.
>Play as the so called "Last Companion".
>War Doctor's companion who leaves when he finds out the Doctor was there when his girlfriend died(Cass)
>time lords have offered you the chance to save Cass by going through missions based on Doctor Who episodes that suddenly have timewar backgrounds or implications
>first level is human resistance during dalek invasion of earth, meeting with susan while she is away from the doctor
>second is blowing up cybermen on Telos who are fightig 8, Lucie and the Headhuntress in office buildings
>third is shooting up Ogrons with the Brigadier during the Day of the Daleks
>fourth you shoot up the sontarans invading gallifrey during the invasion of time as the fourth doctor prepares the demat gun.
Each level would have a strategic element. You would start with a strategy map aiming where to place guards against incoming forces.
The levels would be linear levels, but with points where you can jump back in time where you are to progress througn a level at an earlier or later time period and help yourself out. Each level would have good and bad endings, some triggered by your skill, others by your choices, and every time you let a canon ending happen there becomes a greater chance Cass stays dead until the end when you face the War Doctor in the vault infront of the moment box and have to choose whether to let him have it or shoot him, in which he'll die slipping by you and just use it right then and there, regenerating into 9 and negating the day of the doctor as he zips off.
>>63293112
Shit, now I want to watch Red Dwarf again. It had no right to suddenly get that epic.
>>63293258
why couldn't the dumb bitch jump out of the forklift before it went over
it's like she wanted to die
>>63293265
>Fighting inside the vortex, diving into swirly rapid things to evade weapon locks.
this would be delicious.
>>63293416
why
>>63293416
that's kinda fucking awesome.
>>63293333
John Simm holds Clara hostage. He begins to regenerate but Clara falls inside his regeneration force and the two combine to create Missy. Me presses the Moment and GALLIFREY FALLS
>>63293416
Wow. How did I forget this shit happened?
voyage of the damned might be my favorite nuwho episode
everything about it is so bad its good
it almost feels intentional
>>63293416
I've seen a GIF of that used completely unnironically by RTD fans to bash Moffat.
>>63293265
Used to think about the mechanics of that all the time when I was a kid, two Tardises fighting through time, materialising to escape, dematerialising to escape, it's be fun to see played on TV.
>>63293502
why? if i was going to defend RTD there are way better scenes to pick from than that laughfest.
>>63293556
Because lots of RTD-era fangirls cry for
>MUH DRAMA
>>63293556
It was used as a meme with something like "Done with your shit" written on it.
>>63293416
>people forgot about Jesus Doctor
Come on, that was like the jumping shark moment on NuWho
>>63293556
Fun fact: RTD is obsessed with Russell Tovey. He literally wanted this jug-eared goon to be the Doctor.
>>63293647
didn't he basically admit to wanting to fuck him in the writers tale?
>>63293258
>“Excuse me, do you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?"
Probably Aliens of London. I love series one but that episode and the Slitheen in general made me think "oh, it's going to be like that is it?"
Chris was probably thinking the same thing.
>>63293416
>>63293449
>>63293475
>thinking Christmas episodes are meant to be GOAT
You just opened your prezzies and fed the cat a massive piece of turkey, you sit down with your box of celebrations® and switched the box on, do you want deep shit that you have to watch and pay attention to or something you can fall asleep watching and spill egg not all down your lap?
If you expect anything legit at Christmas you're going to be disappointed.

Me is the Hybrid, the Doctor is also the Hybrid, The entire Timelord race are Hybrids. Hybrids everywhere.
The Doctor breaks the golden rule and brings Clara back to life as a Timelord, she's the Hybrid.
Ohila is the Doctor's mother. She's a human who married a Timelord.

that wasn't slow motion though
>>63293787
the ledge the black guy was sitting on broke and he fell. the white lady behind him tried to run after him to get him.
all the voyage scenes are comedy
Why was every regeneration before Parting of the Ways unique but now they're all orangy flames? Did the time vortex contaminate the Doctor's regeneration cycle?
>>63292568
>Bethseda
Enjoy your garbage coding and shit games
>>63293800
anon, i like moff but there's no need to lie
>>63293832
IIRC they wanted them to be unique in nuwho, but when The Master regenerated they wanted a similar effect so it's more obvious what's going on and so the flames just stuck.
>>63293832
>Implying same and similar are the same thing
>Implying they're not trying to standardize regeneration
>>63293832
Because Regeneration looks cool now.
I forget, is /who/ still pissed off by the fact that Regeneration is the most broken weapon teh Doctor has?
>>63293832
Did you see Night of the Doctor? McGann's regeneration was sort of a mix between the two, a strong glow with a slight fiery hint. Doesn't answer your question but maybe a clue.
>>63293900
was /who/ ever pissed off about that? did /who/ hate time of the doctor? i can't even remember anymore. i think I remember defending the episode on here after it aired.
>>63293800
RTD is God, no overcomplicated bollocks, no 3 year stories that end with nothing, actual companion dynamics rather than just "hurr durr, everyone is le magical special impossible wonder last of the wonder girls"
Moffat is a hack, the only good story he's ever done was heaven sent.
>>63293862
This is no lie Anon.
Moffat is taking Who into new territories.
Soon your beloved Clara Oswald will become immortalized.
Don't you love Clara, /who/?
I do.
>>63293832
I thought some of the unique ones in Classic Who were silly. Hartnell to Troughton still looks good, and Pertwee to Tom, but the rest aren't so good.
>>63293940
anon, i like RTD but there's no need to lie
>>63293760
Feels were real when Capaldi didn't find gallifrey at the end of series 8. My house had burned down and insurance was slowing the rebuilding process and every day I had to pass by where my house was on the way to work. I felt lied to by the insurance company, but worse still I felt exhausted; led past a spot where home used to be, frustrated that not only was I homeless, but that I'd never get there.
Feels were more real than tennant crying to his girlfriend in the sky.
>>63293377

All Moffat's villains revolve around some basic thing, don't blink, don't breathe, don't speak, etcetera etcetera, a child could write all of his stories.
>implying silence/forest is anything
Forgot don't walk into the shadows, again, child tier.
>implying even Martha's shitty story wasn't better than all of Moffat's companions put together
Le girl who waited, le impossible girl, le two century boy, WOW such companions
RTD's era is literally a soap opera, puerile flashy shit aimed at the lowest common denominator.
>>63294180
see you Saturday
This showrunner wankery is silly.
>>63294134
all cool. well at least >>63293416 made me laugh, so there's that. The imagery is fine I just wished it was filmed and directed better, it just seemed too cheesy for the actual situation The Doctor was in.
>>63294232
I literally don't understand this meme, because I watch Doctor who I can not prefer a different writer to the current one? Do you know how anything works?
There is one other problem with a game using the TARDIS. It's meant to be flown with multiple Timelords in mind. The Doctor is unique in the fact he does 99.9% of the piloting himself.
Moffat's era is literally an ego stroking project, long drawn out arcs for no other reason than keeping viewership at a level he won't be fired for.
>>63294291
>he fell for the multiple pilots meme
>>63294261
ALL OR NOTHING
YOU MUST EITHER LOVE EVERYTHING OR NEVER WATCH AGAIN
>>63294261
Its not about having different opinions
I myself like Tennant as a doctor better
It's about bashing someone who is doing at the very least a good job to have kept the show going all these years. He has written many good stories just like RTD. They have different writing styles.
>>63294303
Why do people who dislike his writing try and paint him as some evil monster. Have you never listened to an interview of his. Very affable guy.
>>63293788
What was RTD smoking when he wrote End Of Time? Same stuff Moffat smoked when writing Wedding Of River Song?
>>63294519
Not that anon but I liked End of Time
>>63294519
Last episode syndrome, he knew he could just write whatever he felt like and not have to worry about it. If it's true that Moff thought Xmas would be his last, it'll be batshit as well
>>63294553
Yeah I did as well.
>>63293832
A few things, 1-2, 5-6, 6-7 were all glowing effects, the only difference being color. 8-war was the same kind of glowing effect, it wasn't until war-9 it started to get more intense. Seeing how it kept getting more and more intense it could just be a gradual increase in energy. 11's reset was the largest we've seen, but the actual regeneration into his new cycle was very mild. If this is the case, since he is on a new cycle 12-13 should be rather small.
Another theory might have to do with reluctance. The more reluctant the Doctor is to regenerating the more the regeneration energy has to force it. If you notice all the NuWho regenerations happened when he was fully conscious and even standing up. 9 was short lived, and despite putting on a smile he might have wanted to remain. We all know 10's broke the fucking TARDIS, and 11's reset was unknown territory for him. He was breaking the cycle and he was probably terrified. Once the reset occurred he was fully embracing the next regeneration, and we see very little intensity when he actually regenerates. Now looking back at the classics, for the most part he was barely conscious or unconscious, he couldn't do much in the way of fighting it. The most intense being 5-6, in which he thought he was dying. We also never saw 2-3, but given the way 2 was acting it's possible his was just as intense as some of the newer Doctors.
>>63294447
I thoroughly dislike a majority of the things he has done, I don't particularly mind his individual episodes but I hate his arcs.
River song was introduced on 31 May 2008 with silence in the library.
Her story was finally played out on 4 June 2011 with a good man goes to war.
It took 3, years real world time to find out what was going on with her, what was the result? She was the companions daughter. The companion's fucking daughter. I wasted 3, years of my life for that shit, it took three fucking years for that arc to resolve and the resolution was shit.
Call me a pleb, call me a casual, but I prefer RTD's one series arcs, I don't like waiting 3 years for Moffat to finally squeeze his shit into my mouth.
>>63294644
I still don't know why Capaldi didn't just regenerate and blast the wall with the energy and then use his new body to reset the teleporter, printing out his old self, he could have saved a hundred billion years, literally.
>>63294599
It's already giving me Voyage Of The Damned vibes.
>>63294728
the doctor sucks at regenerating
>>63294759
He could have just regenerated after being killed by the veil, even if it took a month that's still a hundred billion years shorter than it did take.
Refusing to just regenerate and get out of there instantly was 10th Doctor levels of vein narcissism.

And don't forget his post-regeneration is usually disoriented. If he managed to get back to the teleporter or remember who he is and what he's doing, why would he want to kill himself for an older version of himself. He'd probably want to keep his new body.
>>63294728
The confession dial is like null-space, it's a method of disabling the regeneration cycle to extract information from a Timelord.
>>63294644
>since he is on a new cycle 12-13 should be rather small.
not really since he's still building on the previous ones
>>63294672
I guess I didn't find River's story arc that boring(mainly cause i started watching in 2013 so i binged it) but its definitely not GOAT material and yea I respect your opinion, I like a lot of episodes from both. Since we talking about different opinions, I personally don't enjoy rose too much I thing she was a good companion but the love thing didn't really fit the show IMO.
>>63294221
Doctor Who in general is this, minus the soap opera.
Ok guys, here's the straight dope.
Clara is the hybrid, 12 brings her back and she's half Time Lord. If the Time Lords hadnt' tried to trap the Doctor to get information on the Hybrid it never would have happened.
Yes, it's another shitty bootstrap paradox but that's Moffat
>>63294221
glad somebody finally said this, this is how i've always felt about the RTD era.
>>63294813
He couldn't regenerate after being killed by the veil. He said even if the body is to weak to regenerate every cell will still try.
>>63294850
>not really since he's still building on the previous ones
The only thing I base that on is the fact 11-12 was practically nothing. he glowed a little bit but basically snapped into his new body like it was nothing. Personally I like my other theory better, I feel it fits more with the whole process of dying and fear changing, plus using more energy because he's running low on regens doesn't make as much sense.

That sounds horribly plausable
>>63294850
If you didn't see that shit when it happened you can't really comment. I lost 36 months of my life on that shit and got zero pay off.
Don't get me wrong, Moffat can really write some amazing single shit, Blink, Doctor dances, girl in the fire place, heaven sent, but NEVER EVER let him be show writer, he shits up the series by trying to be clever and intricate, he can write amazing solo stuff but if you ever give him an arc he'll shaft you in all orafices.
>>63294927
that's not bootstrap paradox, that's self fulfilling prophecy
>>63295108
But who was prophecy?
>>63294030
Its finally getting built now. The ground is freezing and theyre barely pouring the foundation. Things are kinda looking up at least.
>>63293849
>implying if Bethesda made a Doctor Who RPG you would not play it
>>63294221
Granted. But it did wonders. It got people interested in Who again.
Sure there was a lot of cheap, dumb shit, but there were elements of genius, some really good episodes, and the slow build of incorporating stuff from classic DW (and I don't mean the monsters) didn't overwhelm new viewers. The use of Tennant as eye candy propelled the show into the realms of "well, we can't fucking cancel this now."
By the time of Smith things started to get less camp, less romantic and far more weird. Fangirls fell away in droves, while classic Who lovers began to salivate.
Now Capaldi is knocking it out of the park and we're starting to see them play with ideas that push the concept a little. Is it perfect? Course not. But if Heaven Sent is any indication the future looks pretty bright.
>>63294982
no one has summarized my thoughts that well
Oi /who/
I'm using Doctor Who as a case study for uni and I'd be really fucking grateful if you took a few seconds out of your shitposting to answer this very simple question. Cheers!

>>63295131
Unless Clara'ss the person who ancient Time Lords in the past saw prophecy is just prophecy. Especially since it apparently pointed to a Time Lord Dalek hybrid and not human/Time Lord that Clara would be
>>63295215
*saw, prophecy is just prophecy
>>63294927
But 12 confessed he knew what/who/where the hybrid was to the Veil. If Clara was the hybrid he would have to have known he would be bringing her back for that to be true, which means he would known he would bring her back before being taken by the Time Lords, which means it would have happened regardless of them taking him and not because.

Thanks boss
>>63295215
An echo of her was a Dalek, maybe they saw that.
>>63295398
Wouldn't make sense, cause then they'd just see a Dalek or at best a human/Dalek hybrid
Y'all mother fuckers are acting like they'll reveal who the hybrid is. Just like they revealed the doctors name. You're going to be let down hard.
Love,
A big guy for you.
>>63295184
I probably wouldnt. Bethesda can make a good rpg, but they screw up getting the right feeling all the time. Its telling that the best feeling fallout game that got the universe right had Obsidian attached to it.
>>63295215
If the prophecy (regardless of how correct it is) causes the events that create the prophecy then that's a bootstrap paradox.

I honestly believe RTD was cu.cked by everything and did nothing wrong.
>slitheen
Aliens who infiltrated earth by wearing the skin of famous/influential people
BBC didn't think it was appropriate for children so fart SFX were added.
>Abzorbaloff
Literally part of a children's competition, RTD was forced to put it in or break a kiddie's hopes and dreams
To see what RTD's who would have been like if he wasn't forced to kid his shit up see Torchwood: Children of Earth, RTD was perfectly capable of dark shit that was actually good but had to take himself, ultimately for the worst.
>>63295442
*unless they somehow thought dalek should would/could be reversed and then she was hybridized again, which would still make her human/Time Lord rather than human/Dalek/Time Lord

go to bed chris
>>63295525
So what? People have different opinions. It's not something to cry over.
The Doctor was created for a purpose, they used Dalek guts to engineer the fucker.
When he learned this he ran from Gallifrey and wiped his own memories. He's utterly confused about everything before this, to the point that he thinks Susan was his Granddaughter.
He's an experiment basically, a Timelord with all the ferocity of a Dalek. But he rebelled. At least until he met the sisterhood, who forced him to accept his true nature as the War Doctor.
He's not bringing Clara back as a timelord, he's aiming for something else.
And Missy is going to regenerate.

This had to be off-topic now but call me a normie or whatever, but I loved Fallout 3, New Vegas, Skyrim and I'm enjoying 4 just as much. They have flaws and are glitchy as fuck but are a fun time killer.
A Doctor Who game in a fully open world with RPG elements would be heaven. I think the problem game designers have when it comes to making games for Doctor Who it's hard as the main character doesn't actively harm/kill his opponents. Someone would have to think hard to come up with mechanics and gameplay that would be interesting while having an actual story. Sadly most games have been shit under the Who license.

It might have been on their date in Night and the Doctor, but really who cares? Lots of their relationship happens off screen. It's boring and isn't really relevant.

It'd be a bit of a cop out, since they made a big deal out of "there was only one time I could".
Obviously I don't want to know his name, but Moff must have had an inkling of an idea when he wrote Library.

>>63295969
No that is fucking stupid.
Interesting theory floating around regarding the Daleks.
When Clara's inside the shell the last time, she can't get it to express positive emotions, all of it is transformed into evil cuntspeech.
Does this mean the blobs inside, the actual Daleks are trying to be nice guys sometimes? They're not evil, they're just being forced by Davros' sick engineering.
>>63296002
90% of Tennant's episodes are shit and I mean that sincerely
Series 6 and 7 are muddled messes plotwise, though they have some good episodes. They're not entirely worthwhile .
>>63295843
See, I'd never ask /who/ for anything expensive.
I think the most expensive thing on my list is a Jago and litefoot, but I seriously don't expect anyone to get me that, that's actually a holdover from a list of things i'd been meaning to buy myself throughout the year.
I'd rather /who/ bought relatively cheap things on my list, it's the thought that counts, and it doesn't really put that much a burden on the kind soul doing it,
>>63295999
I'm with ya
>>63296048
That is your opinion even if I strongly disagree with you. To tell some random person to skip things they might enjoy is foolish.
>>63295969
>skipping 4
>Skipping best companion and best episode Midnight
Nah mate.
>>63295999
I agree. Also people on here have a hate boner for 10 and 11. Never understand it but they are in the minority.
Why did 9 fall in love with Rose? was he in love with Rose or was it more 10?
>>63296240
Because series 1 Rose was a qt.
>>63296029
Slightly relevant, does anyone else think Moffat is taking too many liberties?
Daleks were originally bred to be evil, he made it so they're actually peace loving monks trapped inside shitlord shells.
Originally Time lords stayed the same gender but not only did he change that he actually made the second most important Timelord in the show into a gender bender and possibly will do the same for the Doctor.
Originally the Doctor got through his entire history entirely through his own skill set and abilities, Moffat made it so Clara was always there as the one who actually made it all happen.
Originally the Doctor killed every Single man woman and child on Gallifrey, Moffat rewrote this so everything, including Eccleston's incredible portrayal of a post time war Doctor was nullified.
And he canonised 10.5 and added the war Doctor so history would remember him as the writer who "fixed" the 13 incarnation cap.
Everything he does reeks of pompous douchebaggery.
>>63295977
Can somebody make this but give him the hoodie and crazy hair? Like pic related. Sonic Sunglasses would be cool too.
>>63296284
>>63296240
I don't think he did fall in love with her, the only time he kissed her was basically CPR.
>>63296288
>he made it so they're actually peace loving monks trapped inside shitlord shells.
uhh, no
>>63295933
I see where you are going, I just always thought that we were never going to know his name and never expected anything to come out of that plot/story line
>>63296316
forgot pic related.
>>63296288
Yup. To a degree, though, he needs to mix things up to keep plebs interested.
In the run up to the 50th, he kept talking about 'changing the narrative'. And what did he actually mean? Retconning the Time War and 9's arc.
>inb4 muh 9 didn't remember/still killed gallifrey in oroginal timeline
>>63296288
>Slightly relevant, does anyone else think Moffat is taking too many liberties?
Maybe
>Daleks were originally bred to be evil, he made it so they're actually peace loving monks trapped inside shitlord shells.
That's up for interpretation...
>Originally Time lords stayed the same gender but not only did he change that he actually made the second most important Timelord in the show into a gender bender and possibly will do the same for the Doctor.
This does bug me, but Romana changed SPECIES. It reeks of "progressive for the sake of progressive" though
>Originally the Doctor got through his entire history entirely through his own skill set and abilities, Moffat made it so Clara was always there as the one who actually made it all happen.
This didn't get retconned by the new regeneration cycle?
>Originally the Doctor killed every Single man woman and child on Gallifrey, Moffat rewrote this so everything, including Eccleston's incredible portrayal of a post time war Doctor was nullified.
Yeah, that was pretty bullshit
>And he canonised 10.5 and added the war Doctor so history would remember him as the writer who "fixed" the 13 incarnation cap.
Eh. I'm okay with this. Woulda been worse if it was 9 who did it, because then it DEFINITELY wouldn't make sense he'd "forget"
>Everything he does reeks of pompous douchebaggery.
Yeah, he's definitely got a huge fucking ego
>>63296288
Clara only reverted what the GI did.
>>63294221
and loud.
remember that RTD wanted Doctor Who to be loud to "grab peoples attention"
>>63296288
It's his show and he feels he can do what he likes with it. So no he's not taking liberties but it does reek of pompous douchebaggery.
>>63295525
He's not young nor pretty like the Ken Doll David and Matt were so females have nothing to shlick with doctor who
>>63296339
"I love you", becomes " exterminate", ask yourself why they would bother applying a filter if no dalek ever said I love you anyway. They're all saying I love you under that casing, Bravo Moffat.
>>63296495
The implication was that ANY emotion translates to exterminate, they're still fueled by hatred, it's just that it redirects any other emotion into that hatred.
>>63296492
it's not just females who like those guys.
>>63296460
It's not really his show though, is it? You could argue it's the fans' show, the BBC's show, Sydney Newman's show, Verity Lambert's show, but not Moffat's.
Had he been able to ask Terry Nation whether there is a filter inside the mark 3 travel machines that prohibits whatevers inside from saying "I love you" he'd have been disgusted you'd even asked, daleks don't say "I love you" because they're bred to not love, not because there's a filter stopping them.
