capaldi wanted to bend time and space so he could save his friend and have adventures, TLV wanted to bend time and space to match a certain version of history according to his own opinions and moral standards. TLV is a higher thinker. TLV is what the Doctor becomes when he's no longer just the idiot in a box, when he realises his true ability and surpasses Rassilon and Omega as the founder of a New Time Lord society, all under his hand.

The doctor will never go Time Lord Victorious under Moffat's reign because he can't write it. It'll be a wacky adventure, a paradox will happen, he'll name a girl something dumb again like 'the star girl who dreamt" or some shit. Then a paradox will happen star girl is super special and dreams everything right again. The doctor takes out his guitar and performs a rockshow. The end. Fuck moffat.

>>63659222
>“Normally you have about five or six months to set up and do preparation on a series with, usually, a few unused stories in the cupboard. We had nothing. The Invasion of Time came about because the original script for that slot came in right up against the deadline. And when it did come in, it proved to be unworkable. It just could not be done. There were things in it, I remember, like an amphitheatre the size of Wembley Stadium filled with killer cats in the audience. So that story went out of the window, leaving us just five days to write three hours of television. I don’t think either Anthony Read or I went to bed for three days solid.

>>
So since we are already one incarnation past when it was supposed to occur.. Where the hell is the Valeyard?
>>
>>63661945
Ah what a sweet guy
>>63661952
6 killed him. A couple of times
>>
>>63662060
But he was supposed to be created when the last regeneration found a way to use more regenerations. Since '11' cheated absolute death, shouldn't that event have created him?
>>
>>63662141
Masters line was at some point between your 11th and final regeneration. Gives them wiggle room.

VNA said that the hatred 6 felt in the doctors mind for 7 "killing" is what tured into the valeyard.

In Time's champion the valeyard was created by death to serve as it's champion since "she" felt that the doctor was too pure to be a proper champion.

I don't recall since I was o busy being disappointed did they give Valeyard an origin in Last adventre?

Personally i like the idea that the valeyard was 10 during his time lord victorious phase. His so much more speech was him realizing how close he was to the edge and agreeing to spare Wilf was his way of stepping back. Since he had meet the valeyard he was able to resist the urge to be come him blah blah blah fan wank.
>>
>>63662308
I think in the audios it was implied 11 created him while stuck on Trenzalore when trying to extend his life.

There was also a theory that metacrisis 10 could become evil because he was "born in battle" or something, and because he can't regenerate he would try to steal regenerations from the Doctor. (I guess he would even fit as the 'real' hybrid'
>>
>>63661945

even in this 1.5 minute thing while his intentions are definitely in the right place it's clear he doesn't care much about doctor who or really understand it even

I wonder if capaldi gave him a stern talking to which made him do it
>>
>>63662402
Don't recall that, interesting. Yeah the metacrisis is the obvious choice, he's even called that in the forgotten comic (but it was all a dream...)

Eccleston always did it for the kids. He would definitely do this for a kid in the hospital. He doesn't like some people working on the show, but the whole reason he did the show in the first place is because he wanted to do something for kids.

Yes but at the same time look at that clip. It was 2 minutes long and 1:55 of it was him dancing round the question and then giving a lame 2 lines cop out. If he would just say what happened he'd be done with it but all we get are vague illusions to events. Hell there are 5 different stories about why he turned down the 50th...

People hate mysteries. He should have said what happened and moved on...

So what you're saying is we have to find this kid, groom him to become a writer for the show, and then have him do the next anniversary special? Well I do appreciate a challenge.
>>
>>63662308

The Last Adventure had a CIA agent state that the Valeyard was a top secret black project created by the CIA based off Gallifrey's most infamous renegade - the Doctor. They would give the Valeyard the Doctor's regenerations and he would act as their agent to control Gallifrey and time.

However, it was later revealed that this agent was the Valeyard in disguise, so it's probably all nonsense.


Trial of the Valeyard has him state during the Doctor's final regeneration he spent a long period alone and in an attempt to gain more regenerations, he created another being - the Valeyard. Again, this was probably a lie told by the Valeyard to the court.
>>
>>63663627
Thats right I remeber now.

And the trial story was all part of a trap for the doctor so it was most definitely made up

But Capaldi is not sexualized.
I don't watch DW for sexiness and certainly not for sexualization of old people. Old people are gross.

Hey /who/. Two episodes into the war doctor set so far. Really good. I kind of wish they gave the war doctor more action, as the side characters they give all the action to are cunts, but I love how they're going really heavily into the idea of the compromises the time lords are willing to make in the name of "peace". It kind of shows how there never was a "right" side to the time war when the time lords are willing to commit atrocities themselves and bring it all to an end. Hurt's doctor is pretty great too. Sarcastic and angry grandpa still, but with more time to get into the characterization and star it's easier to handle him being a hero. He can be a dick because he needs to be that to be able to make choices that morally hurt him the most. Its like john hurt playing the doctor who's playing a monster, only the doctor isn't a very good actor while john hurt is; which actually makes a lot of sense.

Castrovalva?

Exactly. Through over 50 years, she's only had those three. Yeah, she gets a story or two in EU stuff, but almost nothing in the main series.

You'd think an nigh-infinitely expansive sapient time machine who's mind exists in all points in time and space simultaneously would be a good well for stories, but apparently not. It's almost surreal how the only writer who was interested in fleshing her out as a character was Neil Gaiman of all people.

>Clara now heads to the door. We realise - it's the same restaurant where they parted ways in Death in Heaven. The Doctor doesn't even look at her, not knowing who she is. She opens the door, and holds it with her hand. She's got a last thing to say. "By the way, Doctor... I have a message for you"

>'If he doesn't remember her, there's no way he'd remember this, right?' she thinks. "Run. Run you clever boy, and be a Doctor". The Doctor looks at her and like an automatic answer he says "Thank you", smiling back at Clara, who looks at him one last time, tearfully saying goodbye with her eyes. And she's off. That's it. She's gone.

>The Doctor turns back, happy to have met such a good lady. But there's a spark in his mind. His smile slowly disappears, his look settles on his coffee... 'Clara...? Was this Clara?!' he remembers what she said, what Oswin and Victorian Clara said. What she said when she jumped in his time stream. It WAS Clara!

>He storms off outside, looks left and right: she's nowhere to be seen. He gears a motorbike, remembering Clara had a motorbike, and runs to an alley. There, Clara is on her bike, she looks back to him a last time, smiling. "Clara!" the Doctor says and she drives off.

>"Clara...!" he says, but she's already gone now, and soon she leaves the alley and his sight. He turns back, half happy and half sad and sees - Clara's last gift. His TARDIS!

Here's the story short:

Time Lords send out a bounty on the Doctor, Clara and Missy's heads in the opener without anyone in the universe knowing it's them. The Doctor, Clara and Missy travel together for the whole series, hearing about a hybrid while being researched by the entire universe because of the bounty. In the closing moments of episode 11, the Doctor learns it's the Time Lords who sent out the bounty and the three get teleported to Gallifrey. In the finale, we learn the Time Lords sent out the bounty so someone would capture the Doctor and get him back on Gallifrey so he can help them find and stop the hybrid, who is thought to soon destroy Gallifrey and stand in its ruins. After a game of Rassilon Roulette, they go and meet with the Matrix. In an unexpected twist, it's revealed The Doctor and Clara are the hybrid, their relationship is somehow toxic to the universe and the Time Lords want to get rid of one of them so the hybrid doesn't happen and Gallifrey is kept safe. They aim to kill Clara which is much easier to get rid of than the Doctor. Cue 20 minutes running around Gallifrey, escaping Gallifrey's armies. They both try to escape in an old TARDIS but the Time Lords chronolock it and Clara and the Doctor are stuck with a choice: The Doctor stays on Gallifrey and Clara is sent back on Earth or one of them gets their memories erased.

I just finished it.
The Innocent definitely drags a bit. Voice acting of the supporting cast sounds a little weak and the plot jumps around a little disjointedly.
It picks up somewhat in The Thousand Worlds, and The Heart of the Battle is fairly decent.
Still not quite as grand in scope as I was hoping for, though.
In the end they talk a lot about how WarDoc is really a monster of war who will do what atrocities need to be done, but they don't go far enough to justify why he was totally disowned by the subsequent Doctors.

She was funny, had some personality, was bossing around the Doctor but in a funny/playful way unlike Clara who was a giant bitch about everything. She really thought she wasn't special, she was still down to Earth. She cared for people and even aliens (Oods, Pompeii inhabitants,...). I really liked her and a similar character with 12 would bring a great dynamic.

But i gotta ask, its heavily implied that the doctor blew up a bunch of daleks hiding behind children in his war trauma nightmares and it hadnt been as final a solution as he had hoped. Is that not enough to be disowned?

>>63673878
Those trauma flashbacks were interspersed with so much boring convalescence that it's easy to forget about them.

The thing is, without going into too much spoilers, at the very end the Cardinal tells John Smith something along the lines of "I'm glad that you are truly a warrior when you're not occasionally deluding yourself that you're a man of peace" when truthfully, he'd barely come close to crossing the kind of line that would warrant that comment.
