Should I watch the Husbands of River Song or not? To be honest I don't feel like watching cuck shit but I've heard it was pretty good.
>>64308382
just fucking watch it
>>64308382
It's super comfy and great fun after a series of dullness.I advise you to watch it while you are drunk. Moffat himself must have been drunk whilst writing some parts of the script.
>"[The Doctor] was right to question his morality - which is fine, because that means, in the next series, he'll be a combination of those two different elements: the more questioning Doctor, and the warmer Doctor. It's constantly developing."
>>64308382
It's in the top three of moffat's christmas specials. I don't think anyone would dispute that. I enjoyed it despite the "cuckolding" subtext. It was fun and capaldi was great. Kingston was very tolerable, and it might be her best appearance yet in DWyet.
>>64308620
>It's in the top three of moffat's christmas specials
Oh boy, high praise indeed.
>>64308620
Moffat's top three Christmas specials are A Christmas Carol, Last Christmas and The Snowmen, imo desu senpai.
>>64308701
Well...ok. I was being a tad facetious there anyway. Best benchmark I could come up with.
>>64308797
I'm with you on the first two. Snowmen didn't do much for me aside from Clara being in a corseted top.
So, the BBC website was hacked.
Can we expect any Doctor Who-related stuff leaking?

Nick Briggs does a good Tenth Planet esque Cyberman and did a version of it for Nightmare in Silver before Moffat decided on the voice we have now.
>Big Finish gets War Doctor
>Big Finish gets 10/Donna
>Big Finish might be the first to competently write River Song and pairs her with the best doctor
Is there any reason to watch the tv show at this point?
>>64309646
Put the 'men' back into them. The more you remind the audience that they start as people, the more their inhumanity rings out as weird and unsettling. This goes for design, story and characterisation.
And since they're meant to be a dark mirror of humanity, find something to mirror with each story. Moff was onto something with the afterlife/shambling corpses idea but there's limitless potential. I like the thought of class war Cybermen personally.
>>64310088
>did a version of it for Nightmare in Silver before Moffat decided on the voice we have now.
The "new" voice isn't awful, it's an improvement on the previous era's voice. It sounds pretty good in lego dimensions. A little "deep" though.

Go to bed Jack Graham.
>>64310363
The only good episodes in the last four seasons were Day of the Doctor, Time Heist, and Heaven Sent. The show's writing turned to shit. I didn't think there could ever be as bad a Mary Sue as River, but along comes Clara. She's stolen every inch of spotlight for years and Moffat didn't even have the balls to kill her off for real because he's clearly in love with her. Then there's Missy, the single most grating villain since fucking Sil. How does the show have better scripts again? Is it the hamfisted highlighting of lesbians and gender swapping? The complete lack of any lasting consequences for anything? The cringey flirting? The female characters who are all basically remixes of Irene Addler, because Moffat only knows how to write one kind of woman? Fill me in here.
>>64310179
At the end of the day, BF is not going to be as passionate and radical as it was back when it was the forefront of material for an unjustly cancelled show. You still get great stuff whenever a writer decides to push themselves for the hell of it (the CCs were wonderful for fostering this), but as a whole it's not a franchise that feels the need to be cutting edge and crazy in the way the best runs of nuwho try to. I liked back when they did insane huge arcs with McCoy but my god did those last few Hector stories blow.
I'm excited for what Dorney and maybe Fitton do with Hurt, and I've already bought the river box after the good reviews, but I'm very cautious about what could end up being a lame attempt to 'authentically' reproduce the Donna era.
>>64310886
>forgetting motoe/flatline
>>64310820
The last few Hector stories weren't awful, but the amnesia got a little old especially after seeing 8 lose his memory so many times. They could have ended Hector's story after Gods and Monsters and I'd have been happy. Ace is still fucking great though.
At this point I trust BF more than BBC, even though they've been feeling sort of "safe" lately. I'd love to see them go back to doing really out there stories like divergent universe or Jubilee.
>>64310940
Husbands of River song was one of the worst episodes of NuWho. It's barely saved from being the absolute bottom of the barrel because it literally can't get any worse than Fear Her or the S8 episode with the fucking trees.
>>64310940

Clean the fucking gold dust out of their vents for starters. No wonder they're falling apart.
>>64310935
Shearman return soon.
They'll never do another Divergent style thing though, that's a case of once bitten twice shy (even though its problems were more in execution than premise).
Anyone itching for a new Shearman play should check out Punchline, the GOAT unlicensed audio he did with Sylvester McCoy before Big Finish started.
>>64310997
>Husbands of River song was one of the worst episodes of NuWho.
That seems a bit hyperbolic, but I'll bite. What was your problem with it specifically? To me it was fun romp that was pretty inconsequential aside from the sonic screwdriver loose end. Justbumping.
>>64311306
Can confirm it's excellent with a gin and tonic
>>64311145
>tfw we almost have the same taste
>>64311234
It's a real shame. Divergent Universe had some fantastic episodes and 8/Charlie/C'Rizz had a great dynamic. One of the best Tardis teams.
I feel like 7 has gotten most of the better audios lately. It was nice to see 6 wrapping up Peri's loose ends, even if Widow's Assassin got a little weird. Dark Eyes was consistently good, even if DE4 was weaker than the others.
>Yes, plenty of things in the future, and at least one of them will be of interest to Doctor Who fans. I'm just plugging away at my stuff and hoping to do a Doctor Who again someday.
HARNESS ISN'T COMING NEXT YEAR
Moffat confirmed there's an episode set in ancient times and this thing got out sometime earlier this month, before he confirmed:
>Rush Hour by Steven Moffat
>Twenty Leagues In the Sky by Sarah Dollard
>Welcome to Telos by Mark Gatiss
>The Amphora of Time by Jamie Mathieson
>Speed Demon by Debbie Moon
>In Which We Meet The Doctor by Steven Moffat
IT'S HAPPENING
>>64310738
>She's stolen every inch of spotlight for years
she's one of the main characters, she kind of has to be in the spotlight. I think the trouble with Doctor Who is that there are only two main characters, so if you dislike only a single character you are already annoyed with half the cast. Other shows don't suffer from this, there's always somebody else to overshadow them.
>>64311838
I think sometimes I dont enjoy the Moffat era is because Im not too keen on his companions.
>>64311838
That's why a 4 people TARDIS team would be GOAT.
>>64311681
>Welcome to Telos by Mark Gatiss
Confirmed fake
>>64311838
It would be nice to have more than one companion at a time. Why can't we have a whole crew like in the fifth doctor era?
Amy/Rory don't count. Rory was basically her accessory. Just a purse that looked good in armor.
>>64311988
You seem to have a thing forbeards.You don't happen to trip in another general, posting another actor/character with a beard do you?
>>64312085
No, that didn't even work back then
>>64312085
Doctor Who is not an ensemble show. And unless the setup radically change, multiple companions would be redundant.
>>64312097
No? Why would I? Beards are beautiful though.
>>64312085
>whole crew like in the fifth doctor era?
>Nine/Rose/Adam?
>Nine/Rose/Jack?
>Ten/Rose/Mickey?
>Ten/Martha/Jack?
>Ten/Donna/Martha?
>>64312083
They're very obviously working titles.
>>64312191
Two companions is not a crew. 5 had Nyssa, Tiegan, Turlough, and Adric.
>>64311145
Agreed.
>>64312218
I think after the BBC all but confirmed that they hated Sleep No More, Gatiss won't be writing a script alone if at all.
>>64311681
what, steven moffat finally going to be removed as showrunner after season/series 10? doctor who is all about change we need fucking change with the showrunner the show is getting staler and staler though weirdly the quality is way up from season 7 (for sure) and season 8
>>64312241
And that era sucked, plus they had trouble working them all into the story. Fewer companions mean more streamlined story telling, which is important in the shorter episodes.
>>64312187
Just me being crazy. No worries friend. There's a trip that posts in /got/ that seems to have an affection for oberyn.
I've been fond of my beard at times. Without it I think i'm all lips.
>>64311454
I actually think that Davison got a lot of the best audios recently, which is strange because he's been the least interesting BF Doctor to me for a long time. But in the last few years we've had Prisoners of Fate, Fanfare for the Common Men, Psychodrome, Iterations of I, Equilibrium, The Entropy Plague and The Secret History, all among the best of each year imo.
>>64312283
>season 7 and season 8
Moffat didn't even write Season 7 and Season 8.
Its assumed that he is since Husbands was supposed to be his last episode
>>64312085
You can't just pile up characters without giving the an ecological niche. Right now we got capable weirdo and everyman setup, but what are more people going to do? How will you arrange them with things to do.
It doesn't really have place for action, all slots are already taken essentially by the Doctor, so where are you going to place next? Let's not forget the fact that important part of the show is to have large guest cast.
>>64312253
>"If you don't agree with me, its bullshit"
>>64312114
back then the show was entirely different though, the focus was on adventures and nobody gave a shit about characterisation. You don't need three different characters who do nothing but say
>where are we Doctor
>what are we doing Doctor
>help me, Doctor, a monster is approaching me very slowly
However, these days the focus is on character arcs and the adventures are more of a side-thing. That's why I really liked Series 1, beyond Rose and her Doctor-story you still had Adam, Jack, Jacky and Mickey with their respective stories.

>>64312271
Gatiss is Moffat's friend. Moffat basically tells the BBC nowadays because they're scared he might leave. If he wants Gatiss to write an episode, Gatiss will write one. Just not Sleep No More 2.
>>64312283
No one knows. I for one hope he stays. Sherlock will end after Series 5 anyway.

They're not out of print, that's the point. Mad Norwegian just doesn't publish any new ones. I wouldn't give a fuck about someone pirating New Adventures or Past Doctor Adventures or any of that stuff, but this is different.
>>64313751
the only one out of print is Erasing Sherlock, but that's because the author decided to republish it as a stand-alone e-book.

But even in his first appearance he has that same reputation. We never see him actually earn that aside from just demonstrating his incredible knowledge and intellect that he already had. We don't see him work to learn these things, he just knows them.
>>64320723
I was talking about how others respond to him.

Hey, Immigrant! How come you've been away? And what did you think to series 9?
>>64321150
His actions in Day of the Doctor made made it so Galifrey was still there rather than obliterated. That's a retcon.
did you pay attention.
>>64321136
Sure Matt, I bet BBC America and Disney definitely didn't use any numbers when deciding what episodes and which Doctor to air, better take your statement that you're more popular in the US as fact
>>64321187
You can't imagine how happy it makes me to see someone else posting my pasta.
>>64321073
did you juat get bbca? they've played mostly smith episode marathons before and have played his way more often, they're probably just trying to change things up
disney will get smith's years too
they skipped eccleston because he's not as popular and tennant comes next
>>64321198
I've been busy with school. I'm only here till the weekend ends, then back to RL.
I loved Series 9. Especially Girl Who Lived, Heaven Sent, and Hell Bent.
>>64321215
My name is Paul.
I was just watching Night of the Doctor again on a lark and I never noticed this bit: https://youtu.be/-U3jrS-uhuo?t=5m32s
>Charley... C'rizz, Lucie, Tamsin, Molly... Friends, companions I've known, I salute you.
I hadn't listened to Big Finish before, so I didn't notice him listing the audio companions originally. So, Big Finish is officially, indisputably canon now, isn't it? Or at least 8's audios are.
>>64321213
That's still not a retcon
>>64321429
Ten actually said something to the effect of, "I watched all of Gallifrey burn by my hand." If anyone remembers or can find the actual quote that would be lovely, but the point is that the Doctor actually mentioned SEEING the effects of the weapon he unleashed. So it's definitely a retcon for him to never have even used the weapon nor to even have memories of himself ending the Time War, because he clearly did remember it at one point.
so the flash of light before the Raven gets her is the time extraction taking place? there was no light when the other guy who got killed by the Raven
>>64321413
It's canon, but they would have far fewer qualms about outright retconning that stuff if they felt it got in the way in the future.
>>64321413
Yes.
His adventures with Mary Shelley are also canon since she was mentioned in Neverland.
And the books and comics are also canon since Compassion and Destrii were mentioned in Mary's Story.
Therefore, Night of the Doctor indirectly made pretty much all of Eight's stories in every medium canon.
>>64321556
You might be thinking of 9's "I watched it happen, I made it happen!" line. Though in Day of the Doctor 10 and 11 say this to the General about Gallifrey:
>DOCTOR: Because the alternative is burning.
>DOCTOR 10: And I've seen that.
>DOCTOR: And I never want to see it again.

Should I watch Star Trek? I need a new show since there won't be any new Who episodes for almost a year
>>64321906
Watch the Spin-offs
>>64321940
What is spinoff is there besides Deep Space Nine
I'm talking about the Dr.Who spin-offs
>>64321940
>>64321963
Oh wait you meant Who spinoffs. I've seen those. SJA was actually pretty okay. Torchwood was a mixed bag but series 3 was great.
>>64321906
I was thinking of watching The X-Files, since I've never seen it and they're making a new season next year. There's a shitton of episodes (nine seasons and two movies, plus Millennium and The Lone Gunmen), it could keep me busy for a long time.
Is there not going to be a full series in 2016 because they want Doctor Who fans to be desperate enough to watch the new spin off Class?
>>64322249
I think it makes a bit more sense the other way around.
>>64322339
You really think they thought the idea of Class would get people excited? It might turn out well but the premise is generic and nothing that anyone could get hype over.
>>64322732
We don't even what Class is about besides it being a Spin-off
>>64322732
It's about there being something vaguely Doctor Who related on television while the series is MIA.
>>64322801
Uh yeah we do
>BBC Three today announces Class - a new 8 x 45 minute Doctor Who spin off from the acclaimed YA author, Patrick Ness. Class is a YA series set in contemporary London. Incredible dangers are breaking through the walls of time and space, and with darkness coming, London is unprotected. With all the action, heart and adrenalin of the best YA fiction (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Hunger Games), this is Coal Hill School and Doctor Who like you’ve never seen them before.
>Steven Moffat says, “No one has documented the dark and exhilarating world of the teenager like Patrick Ness, and now we're bringing his brilliant story-telling into Doctor Who. This is growing up in modern Britain - but with monsters!”
>On his first television series, writer Patrick Ness says, "I'm astounded and thrilled to be entering the Doctor Who universe, which is as vast as time and space itself. There's so much room there for all kinds of amazing stories, and to work with Steven Moffat and Brian Minchin to find a place to tell one of my own has been an absolute joy. I can't wait for people to meet the heroes of Class, to meet the all-new villains and aliens, to remember that the horrors of the darkest corners of existence are just about on par with having to pass your A-Levels."

Oh, okay. Good luck with that. I think that Heaven Sent was the best.

The Ian cameo is the only thing on that list that would be possible, and it hasn't been denied yet.

>>64323567
Oh well, it was a nice 2 years of actually having a full run of episodes
>>64324358
We got robbed of two episodes though.
>>64324427
It's more like they officially changed how many eps a season is, anyway the extended running times for certain episodes probably made up most of the difference.
>>64324535
Yeah, but I'd take a new episode anytime. Especially in Series 9, we should have had a light hearted episode between Sleep No More and Face the Raven.
>>64316193
I legitimately do believe that. I just don't think it was any better before Capaldi, and he is an infinitely better Doctor than Smith.
I AM SORRY FOR ASKING THIS BUT
Where I can find the audio adventures for free? Piratebay seems to only have Dark Eyes (last I checked). I want to buy, but I'm broke anon so . . .
>>64324592
I'd have taken 11 episodes if it meant no SNM

how does this make you feel?

>>64324322
6 years f-a-m. I feel good because I know Big Finish will make Pie Lord 2.0 out of Tennant this year.
>>64325475
No. It was 6 years. SIX YEARS.
>>64325663
I feel so old, yet I'm only 19.
>>64325257
Just a bit cringey like an old man trying to appear hip.

>>64325934
What?
>>64325798
Same here.
>>64325934
when I heard he was leaving I thought it might've been better if he stayed for just one more season.
now im happy we got Capaldi but I wonder.
>>64325934
Nice to see that alternate universes post here. How was your universe's Series 9?
>>64325934
Do you live in another universe? Is like to live there.
>>64326199
About the same as yours, I think. Except Davros never returned. Series 8 was about Daleks and Davros. Missy is the main enemy. Also, Heaven Sent is an episode about the Doctor going back in time to relive every adventure he's had since he's left the Time War. Missy says she's manipulated everything since the Time War to get him here at this moment. The price to pay to break free is lose Clara, because they're the hybrid. The Doctor decides to lose her but forgets her instead of having her killed. Missy escapes in a shuttle. Clara returns to her life. The Doctor meets his new companion, River Song, at Christmas. She's a mysterious woman who comes from his future! She dies but the Doctor sets off to meet her again as apparently they meet out of order.

What is this reddit website and why is it not strawpoll
>>64328387
Imagine we saw the doctor vaping out of his screwdriver. It seems like something 12 would just do nonchalantly.
Has the next companion been announced yet?
>>64331830
You are the next companion, congratulations!
/who/ needs a new regeneration to spice things up a bit
>>64333030
we should regenerate into /what/
>>64333030
Don't worry, Capaldi's leaving soon enough
>>64333053
>>64333053
>implying
>>64333053
Well, he IS really old now...
>>64333230
>>64333401
>implying he isn't
With the ratings how they are, and Capaldi himself saying that the 10th may be his last, plus the three series tradition, he's much closer to his end than his beginning
Had a dream I was fucking Jackie...it was good. I came inside her
>>64333858
>three series tradition
Shit, I never realized that, but you're right. All we need is Capaldi to leave after his third and we'll have a bona fide pattern of every Doctor in NuWho leaving after 3 series except Eccleston. I hope it doesn't become a rule among the Doctor Who staff, though. It'd be a shame if it became THAT predictable.
>>64334016
Three serieses and a year of specials is the real tradition
Either way I sincerely hope capaldi is the one to break that tradition
>>64333030
What if we regenerated into a female /who/?
>>64334067
Smith didn't have a year of specials, though, did he? What am I forgetting?
>>64334124
Then we would be constantly triggered.
>>64334198
6 and 7 were split into halves, 7A was 2012 and 7B was 2013, Day and Time are considered to be 2013 specials
Technically not a 'year' of specials but a pretty fucked and spread out release schedule
>>64334289
So not much would change.
>>64320967
that makes sense
>>64334308
I see your point, but I guess when I think of "a year of specials" I think of Tennant's actual year of specials where there were, what, five of them?
>>64334383
Five "2009" specials that were technically spread out across 3 years because the first was a 2008 christmas special and the last was a 2010 new years day special
>>64334634
I think End of Time 2 can get a pass for being on the first of the year, but you're right about The Next Doctor.
