Who's the better Clara pornstar lookalike
Liza del Sierra or Dillion Harper
>>63369362
Moffat is both way too sensitive to criticism and out of touch so all he hears are the loudest voices. He overcorrects to the loudest recent criticisms whenever making a new series. Series 6 had a heavy convoluted arc, so he did a light arc he called a "soft mystery" and all two parters in favor of the "blockbuster" a week approach. Series 7 was criticised for Clara's lack of character so he made her a major focus of Series 8 and overall that series focused on the two leads character development rather than a heavy arc. Series 8 got the Clara Who complaint and the Doctor is a big meanie whining so Series 9 sidelined her for the most part and focused on the Doctor and softened him up. Also we got a bunch of almost all two parters because we'd gone so long without them. I wonder what Series 10 will look like?
>>63369482

>>63369497
Neither's even close.
>>63369457

Why did her first line have to be an insult to men? I felt bad for my brother when that scene came on.
>>63369497

Liza del Sierra. She's fucking GOAT.
But the real lookalike is Jewel Bancroft.
>>63369497

>Regenerates with full make-up caked face
If you're going to regenerate a character into a black woman, at least hire one that isn't so fucking ugly that you need to gussy her up with a shot-gun full of make up before shoving her in front of the characters
>>63369690
and shes also ok straight away
Is Clara Ms. Frizzle now? She's a teacher with a time machine

So, was Ashildr the one who was banging on the door in Listen?
The Amazing Lesbian Time Travels of Clara and Ashildr when?
>memory chip
>not just to upload her to the matrix
>>63369741
That's because the guard is likely a Time Lord who didn't place low in the academy and learned proper regeneration. Remember, The Doctor was a shitty student and a general fuck up. That's canon since classic who.
>>63369741
No other character has a problem with regeneration other than the Doctor.
Maybe he's just bad at it.
>>63369750
>magic school bus
magic =/= time travel
I don't think the Tardis can shrink and fly around inside in a body
>>63369792
>I don't think the Tardis can shrink and fly around inside in a body
Of course you can.
>>63369785
>>63369779
Both of these.
The Doctor is pretty shit at Time Lord stuff.
>>63369792
Miss Frizzle was a science teacher, Clara could use her TARDIS to take her students on history trips
How does Ashildr manage to fly a TARDIS?
Even the Doctor couldn't do it in the early days.
>>63369813
In all fairness, the TARDIS shrunk because of the villains of that episode (I forget what they were called).
So am I just forgetting something or will Clara be reborn again after she dies? The impossible girl and all that stuff.
>>63369846
She read the manual.
Stop asking.
>>63369779
>>63369785
learn to handle regeneration?
We didn't see other people regenerate in classic who but River and the Master where at least manic. In some books and audio they do show that other people need to at least rest.
maybe its because they needed to get the story going
or its more evidence the Doctors half human
or turning into a black woman makes you strong and independent.
>>63369457
>ah so glad to be rid of that ego
Moffat are we even thinking of the same fucking characters? The General was the least egotistical of ANY Timelord. Why does he ignore his own writing for cheap tumblr pandering that makes normies cringe?
>>63369856
Nah, that was sorted out two seasons ago.
>>63369846
There's an indefinite period of time between the Doctor losing his memory and him in the diner.
Also Ishildur outlived the Timelords and probably was aware of them for the last few centuries of her life/the universe.
>>63369846
The same reason River can fly the TARDIS.
Pure Moffat fuckery
>>63369813
the TARDIS doesn't always land where it is supposed to. It could land in the brain and the kids will end up learning what happens when the body has a stroke.
>>63369868
>We didn't see other people regenerate in classic who
Romana did it without skipping a beat.
>>63369868
Romana was fine.
The Master didn't seem to have any problems after he regenerated, he seemed like his normal, insane self.
>>63369761
>Ashildr pranking time travellers stuck at the end of times because she's fucking bored
I like that theory.
>>63369868
>We didn't see other people regenerate in classic who
The fuck?
Romana regenerates like 6 times before settling on looking like Romana II.
Why are you lying?
>>63369846
Ashildr lived through each of the great and bountiful human empires, she lived through the dark ages between them. She lived through the period where humans had time travel. And she sits in the ruined cloister waiting for the doctor to arrive. I think its safe to say she had enough time to read a bloody manual.
>>63369761
Ashildr, The Master, The Doctor, or the Listen entity (if it is real)
>>63369572
you are fucking retarded
>>63369761
Does she still need oxygen? cause pretty sure Orson's planet had none
>>63369761
>>63369928
Or Rassilon, the High Council, Chantho, the Master, the Utopians, the vampires preying on Utopians, Jack.
>Run like hell, because you always need to. Laugh at everything, because it's always funny. Never be cruel and never be cowardly, and if you ever are, always make amends. Never eat pears, they're too squishy and they always make your chin wet.

>>63369897
>>63369898
>>63369909
how could I forget Romana
Romanas regeneration was just inconsistent in general.
also muh books and muh audio

Inconsistent? How the fuck?
She was an expert Time Lord and knew how to properly regenerate to the point where it was as simple as changing clothes. You were proven wrong dude. Just admit it and take this loss. It's okay.
>>63369959
My headcanon says that Orson's planet was Gallifrey in the far-flung future. The same as the planet from Utopia and the same one that Ashildr waited on. It had simply decayed and changed so much and the Timelords were long-gone. The Doctor and The Master didn't even recognize it.
>The Doctor has forgotten every time he and Clara made love
>>63369979
For the giggles
>>63369971

That anon's going to go down swinging. I respect that.
>>63370022
Not really mad just I thought that was meant to be a serious speech and then "Don't eat pears"
>>63370018
No, he'd remember doing it, just not what she looked or sounded like
I'd rather see the Clara and Ashildr adventures than more Doctor Who. Poll needed about that.

and Ashildr had the manual

Because Moffat
>>63370282
To be fair, it only felt like a week to him.
>>63370159
Switch Hell Bent with Name of the Doctor and demote Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords to Terrible tier.
>>63370177
Run you clever boy and be a doctor
Why do you think it was on the chalkboard at the end? Clara wanted to make sure the doctor remembered that even if he forgot all of those events
Plus it fits, what with him running away right after that
I'd drink her 'lemonade' if you know what I mean.
>>63370283
Pretty much, unless he had regenerations between then and the old man version that stole the tardis.
Possible since the EU material and this current ep both play up regeneration being easier and a given on Gallifrey.
>>63370309
The reason was people complained about dark water being too dark and season 8 having too complex of an arc. So he went with the simple save clara plot for hell bent.
>>63370282
But they could literally all just confess and get out.
But god wouldn't it be sweet if Rassilon was trapped, got killed but regenerated, turned back into Dalton (if Museum Doctor can look like fourth, Rassilon can take on an old face too), kicked the Veil's ass, pounded that fucking Azbantium with his Daltondick, and came out ready to fuck shit up.
Oh and turned the teleporter into another fucking gauntlet, a proper non bitchmade gauntlet
>>63370362
>Possible since the EU material and this current ep both play up regeneration being easier and a given on Gallifrey
Exactly
>This is Gallifrey! Death is Time Lord for man flu!
>>63370376
What makes you think the man in the museum is actually an incarnation of the doctor and not the original source of 4's face?
Steven Moffat hadn't signed for a 10th series of Doctor Who when he wrote this year's Christmas special.
The showrunner told press including Digital Spy that he thought the festive episode could be his last ever for the show.
"I hadn't signed for next year at that point," he confirmed. "I have now - unless they fire me, which would be quite sensible!
"I thought it might be the last one, so to get River (Alex Kingston) in - that was bringing me full-circle.
"But also - much more importantly - I was very tired and [executive producer] Brian Minchin was going at me about what we were going to do for Christmas.
"And it just cheered me up, the idea that River could be in it. I hadn't written River for years and I love writing River."
Both Moffat and his leading man, Peter Capaldi, insisted that this year's special will be more light-hearted than 2014's 'Last Christmas'.
>this never played
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-SBNgu1hO4
Can they do anything right?
>>63370402
The fact that some random old fart knew about Gallifrey and the Time War?
>>63370402
Cause that's not timey wimey enough.
And the Doctor forgot what the museum guy said which only happens when he meets his future selves.
>>63370283
exactly, but Moffat likes to toy with us.
I heard one theory that Gallifreyians start out as girls and change gender (non regeneration) if they want to later on in life.
>>63370351
she left that message on the chalkboard after knowing he lost memories
whatever she said in the cloisters was before that
Man that was a sad goodbye dude
Anyway, it was pretty obvious that Clara was going to come back, but I didn't think it'd be as convoluted as it was. I figured they'd just pull a loophole out of the ravenbecause she actually faced it instead of running. "Why do they always run?"
Might have been a better, or at least less messy, solution given what they did come up with.
I definitely didn't expect her and Ashildr to literally become Doctor Who 2.0
I mean this season is basically "the Doctor loses his shit and also creates a better replacement for himself"
Both of them are LITERALLY immortal, they can't be stopped. Clara basically became the Doctor's Mini-Me. And now they have a TARDIS.
>>63370415

I liked the plot of this episode and how they resolved the hybrid subplot and it made so much sense.

I used to like him, but Hell Bent was the final straw.
>>63370252
>"I think the Doctor's rather appalled at her behaviour," chuckles Capaldi. "She doesn’t really flirt with him because she doesn’t know it’s him. So that’s the funny thing as she’s flirting with everybody else, and none of it is pointed in his direction, so I think he’s disappointed with that. But yes it’s largely that he gets to see her in the way that she normally behaves. And he's appalled."
>"Russell's been at me for a while that River and Capaldi's Doctor must meet because it would be a 'sex storm'. I assure you it is not a sex storm. That's not really acceptable – he must be thinking of Cucumber.
>"I thought we were done with River, but he was insistent that that wasn't right," he added. "And eventually we went with the view that it would be funny. Especially the way we do it [in the Christmas special], because this is an unlicensed regeneration – his second cycle. She doesn't know it's him. So he gets to find out what River Song is up to when he's not looking, right in front of him, which is quite fun.
>"Also, when I come around to this time of year, I always think this could quite possibly could be my last," Moffat said. "I mean, it's not, but I always think it might be. So I always do something I might enjoy and I thought getting Alex Kingston back might be fun. It just cheered me up, the idea of writing River Song. Because I really loved writing River in the years that I did. And when I was utterly knackered at the end of this series, it sort of perked me up again. And maybe it'll perk everyone else if I do it too!"
>>63369457
I was really hoping for the valeyard.
>>63370444
>>more River
>When will my suffering end
There's only one way off this ride.
>>63370461
>"Well," says Moffat, "it's sort of different and it's sort of the same. It's hard to describe. River is just happy that it's him. I don't think she pays that much attention to what he looks like. But once she knows it's him, it's just the Doctor: her fella, the man she loves, and who she's never quite sure if he loves her back. It's all that. I suppose the difference visually is that they absolutely look like a couple now, as they are around the same age."

That wouldn't work. Moffat would extract him right before his death and the Moffucking would continue
>>63370442
>she left that message on the chalkboard after knowing he lost memories
But that's exactly WHY she wrote it on the chalkboard - If he was going to remember it, she wouldn't have needed to write it down. She has a key to the tardis and access to it before the doctor arrived, so she planted that message as a final gift because it was important
>whatever she said in the cloisters was before that
which is why she wrote it down again later after the doctor forgot about the cloisters
>>63370442
They had to pick up his TARDIS before he found the diner.
She had time to go in and write that.
>>63369868
Don't forget the mini episode showing McGann's Doctor regenerating into War Doctor. When he drank that potion to choose what type of regeneration he would get it fucked him up. In classic who, The Doctor was perfectly fine after a regeneration. After the war doctor potion, that one and each one after were messed up.
>>63370102
I don't know man. Im sure the general regretted his chose, he expected the doctor to help but instead lost a life

What?
Clara said something in the cloisters that was important for the doctor
then the memory wipe happens
then clara has some time to prepare the american diner and the tardis. She uses her key to enter the tardis and, knowing that the doctor will have potentially forgotten what she said to him in the cloisters, she takes the opportunity to write down the same thing again on his chalkboard so he will for sure see it
Then the doctor sees it

>mfw I just realized the Ultimate Sanction and the Doctor getting and using the Moment are a bootstrap paradox
Think about it, the Ultimate Sanction relies on Rassilon breaking the Time Lock and causing a paradox so big it rips the time vortex and entire universe apart. But time Lock only exists because Doctor used the Moment, and the Doctor only used the Moment cause he knew the High Council and Rassilon were planning, and they only planned it because they knew (because of the Visionary) the Doctor would get, have and use the moment to end the war which would cause a Time Lock.
So what was the "fandom splitting in two" revelation? I dont remember anything mind-shattering.

reformatted to match the seasons on sides.
Deep Breath < The Magician's Apprentice
Into The Dalek < The Witch's Familiar
Robot of Sherwood < Under The Lake
Listen > Before the Flood
Time Heist > The Girl Who Died
The Caretaker < The Woman Who Lived
Kill The Moon < The Zygon Invasion
Mummy on the Orient Express > The Zygon Inversion
Flatline > Sleep No More
In The Forest of the Night (holy fuck what were they thinking?) < Face The Raven
Dark Water < Heaven Sent
Death in Heaven < Hell Bent
I enjoyed series nine more. Listen is still my GOAT Capaldi episode, but Heaven Sent is pretty close.
mfw most of /who/ hated Hell Bent. Shit was a solid 8/10 homies.
>>63369498
>the showrunner pays attention to audience reactions and adjusts his show accordingly
I'm not sure if you're complaining, or...?
Two Days ago, if you told me this guy was literally aTransnigger, I would have laughed at you for making fun of the best Time Lord outside of the Doctor.
Then I watched Hell Bent.
>>63369766
Yeah, I don't get why he didn't just do that. He seems perfectly content about doing that to River.
And the matrix is probably way better than that shitty library computer.
>>63370579
why the fuck would he be thankful? I think extra lives as a thank you is good enough. doctor always was a cunt to him and his people. its like he takes the war and everything seriously while the doctor is detached,pops in when he feels like it and for the doctor they are all an afterthought (while an old doctor would have jumped into a trap on a chance there was another time lord there) people siding with the doctor was kind of cringe (nor was it helped by the fact that for all their supposed outrage in 4 billion years no one freed the doctor) there is such think as RANK Rass did his part so he does not understand why he and all the other rulers should kneel to some scrub. it ones more undermines the dedication it takes to run everyday stuff in favor of showmanship, basically like a YA girl having all rules bow to her because you go girl
>>63370649
When she said something to him in the Cloisters the memory wipe stuff wasn't on the table yet.
She only leaves the message she left on the chalkboard because he's forgotten her at that point so she wants to remind him of the one thing she can say that still matters even if he doesn't know who she is anymore.
THEY FUCKED IT UP
THEY FUCKED IT UP HARD
THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD THE DOCTOR KEEP THE CLASSIC TARDIS
other than that not bad and i do like the new screwdriver
>>63370752
I think he overcorrects to the complaints.
>>63370714
>>63370752
He's saying Moffat takes it too far.
Like how after Metal Gear Solid 4 had 8 hours of cutscenes and a huge narrative focus, Kojima gave MGSV a light narrative focus and very sparse, short cutscenes (even though the series is narrative-heavy and this was meant to be the final piece of the timeline and tie everything together).
Some people just don't understand the idea of a middleground.
>>63370793
I don't like the new screwdriver either, but I like it a thousand times better than the sunglasses. It's all about perspective this whole life thing.
The dictionary says a cloister is a covered walk. Nope, still not getting it. What is a cloister in Doctor Who?
>>63370793
abandon the old girl?
>>63370776
Are you roleplaying right now?
>>63370767
>best Time Lord outside of the Doctor.
>not Rassilon before Moffat Moffucked him
pleb
>>63370461
>he must be thinking of Cucumber.
Did he actually say Cucumber?
>>63370043
How long have you been watching this show for?
>>63370840
>abandon sexy
ftfy
>>63370842
>What is Romana, Braxiatel and Narvin
This episode was a fucking joke. Rassilon was a fucking joke.
>>63370840
>implying the old girl couldnt go back to the default desktop
>>63370834
i said i did like the new screw driver
>>63370767
He was just some bald guy.
>>63370840
Nah that wouldn't be right. But I definitely would like to see them go back to something like those older designs, instead of constantly bigger and more intricate.
>>63370852
Yes?
>>63370635
Would you still like Clara if she was ugly?
>>63370610
Not gonna lie, I was expecting the episode to end with her busting into the tardis with a "hello sweetie".
>>63370416
It's too upbeat for what Moffat wanted. The episode was never about Gallifrey but about securing Clara as the single most important character in Wholore.
>>63370859
>give the TARDIS a personality and a [stupid] name
>literally never shows up or is mentioned again after the episode it's introduced in
Why even bother
>>63370882
I liked Rose and Donna so sure, why not
>>63369457
Am i the only one who thinks they wasted Arthur Darvill? He was good as Rory but he could've been a pretty good Doctor, Master, Weasley or Timelord.
>>63370883
thank fuck we were spared that
>>63370868
I prefer just to pretend that wasn't even Rassilon, nobody even addressed him as such except for his silly "resurrected" line and his gauntlet looked like a cheap dime store knockoff of the proper one.
Even if they weren't going to try to bring Dalton back, they should have at least written some fucking substance into the role instead of two scenes of senile bitching.
>>63370883
its gonna happen come christmas anyway
>>63370610
Out of 10? 12.
>>63370014
What about the Silver Devastation
>>63370904
>I liked Rose
the time travel romance drama gets old real quick when I go back and rewatch
>>63370793
>i do like the new screwdriver
Ugh, no.
>>63370882
If she had a bag over her head the whole time I would have enjoyed some of her story and hated others. It was nice for the Doctor to briefly have a GF. Her outside relationship was a drag, I don't watch this show to see awkward dates and crises of trust.
Because she's a qt I never hated her as a character or actor straight through, even when they were writing her as a bipolar loon.
>>63370971
it looks cool though
>>63370930
We can just pretend that he's just a random president but there's no doubt in my mind that he's intended to be the worst and most pitiful Rassilon ever.
>>63370946
>implying I'll be watching that
It's not happening to me m8
>>63370879
Was he referring to this man?
>>63370155
I actually really liked the guy who played Rassilon in this ep
Still would have loved to see Dalton back

OH NO THE DOCTOR IS TOO STRONG
AHHHHHHHHH HELP ME RASSILON
The new screwdriver is a peek at the wacky and random Thirteenth Doctor who likes to spin around and wave his screwdriver when he fast talks nonsense.
>>63370930
exiled/punished rassilon should be the big bad for next season
>>63370930
I'm positive they called him Rassilon.
>>63370971
its a nice design and matches capaldi
>>63370778
And?
That's exactly what I'M saying
What point are you trying to make?
>>63370978

>>63370992
>The titles of all three shows come from a scientific study into the male erection which divided the erection into a hardness scale consisting of tofu, peeled banana, banana, and cucumber; upon reading the study, Davies remarked that "right there and then, I knew I had my drama".
>>63371000
Him and the council form their own rogue faction of Timelords.
>>63370155
It's symbolic of how far he's fallen since his scheme failed. Now he's just a washed up, bitter old Time Lord.
>>63370930
he literally said "I am Rassilon"
>>63371003
He called himself the resurrection of Rassilon, everyone else just called him Lord President.
>>63371000
>PUNISHED RASSILON
>A Fallen Legend
>>63371007
That she told him something else?
She didn't think of the RYCBABAD thing until later.
>>63370981
Even Benedict Cucumber cast as Greyjan the Sane as Gallifrey's president would have been more interesting than this terrible wet sop of a Rassilon we got.
>>63370778
What the hell makes you think that Isn't what she said?
>>63370102
Rassilon regenerated into Pierce Brosnan.
>>63371060
if the Doctor had to suffer through being David Tennant, there's no reason Rassilon shouldn't have a shit regeneration as well
>>63371058
What makes you think she couldn't have said it back in the cloisters?
"Run you clever boy and remember, be a doctor"
The doctor runs after whatever important thing clara said. Reminding the doctor to be a 'doctor' was very important given the circumstances and the lengths that the doctor was going to. It fits perfectly in that context.
Plus from a narrative structure it's built up for the sentence on the chalkboard to be the reveal of what clara had said
>>63371034
Ohila also said Rassilon grew concerned about the coming of the hybrid, that the Doctor was imprisoned on his command and asked the Doctor why he banished him
>>63370793
Look at this shit- *lights up* OOOH I LOVE IT
>>63371014
>>being a dirty skipper
I've earned the right. I've seen every episode available, including all the recons, and watched Fear Her 3 times.
>>not getting drunk for every christmas special
I can't drink alcohol unfortunately, I might've watched it if I could.
>Clara accepts her death and says she'll be brave
>finds out she doesn't have to die and immediately runs away
Fuck Clara. Glad she's gone. And I hope no companion is made to be such a special snowflake like her.
Why is everyone hating on rassilon? He was being disregarded as mad ever since End of Time, what the hell did you expect him to be portrayed as?
You autists are still going at it, eh?
>>63371133
>I hope no companion is made to be such a special snowflake like her.
Moffat's still showrunner, it's guaranteed
>>63371133
B...but she was so Meta
Reminder that no matter how mad you are, clara's departure is far from the worst companion departure in nuwho
So, not particularly important but an interesting Doctor Who trivia question answer:
The Ninth Doctor is the only one never to step foot on Gallifrey.
I feel like this was trying to make up for Donna's exit.
But I don't have a problem with Donna's exit.
This implies you somehow get to keep your memories if you die? Horseshit.
Headcanon is the Dalek who said "exterminate me" was referring to Ashildr and was Rusty
>>63371134
He wasn't mad in this episode, he was just a bitch.
>>63371152
I hope the tenth is his last. I really want a male companion but I know that'll probably never happen
>>63371121
>I can't drink alcohol
AAHHHHHHHHH HELP MOM
THEY'RE OFFERING ME A WINE COOLER
>>63371157
>Jack gets straight up abandoned with only a later retconned explanation
