What did you think about this story?
Is it as good as it's reputation?

Holy crap /who/ has been going through threads fast. What's going on?

Welcome Welcome!
I haven't watched an episode of Doctor Who in about 5 months, /who/. What stories would you recommend to help me get back into the swing of things?
>>68935055
Assault of the Benefactors
>>68934847
No. Heaven Sent shows Capaldi going through the whole thing once, and then once you've got the gist of it it fast-forwards through the rest of the process.
Punchlineshows the McCoy in the same scene a few different times, with more and more variations each time as he gradually becomes aware that he is in a fiction and refuses to play his scripted role in events, until finally he breaks through to reality..
It's similar, but ultimately differentand better. And it would be an occasion to have some GOAT baneposting.
>>68935055
Just fucking watch something you faggot. How many times are you going to post this?

>The Mind Robber
Terrible story. Completely unimaginative and pseudo-intellectual, with a pro-leftist subtext.
Overrated, frivolous, pretentious, "artistic" drivel.
It's a shame that Power of the Daleks is missing and not The Mind Fuckup.
At least the title is accurate - it robs minds.

I'm surprised that she has such a thin skin she would block us on sight from name alone. I would have expected her to respond with 'delete this' first

Lot of people in on the discussion
I'm probably the biggest Doctor Who fan on this entire image board. I really love Doctor Who and talking about it and also thinking about it. I wish they would get back to a younger Doctor though because the thought of sucking off Peter Capaldi isn't too appealing although I would still do it so that his future (and past? haha because of the time travel nature of the show) self would have me sucking him off in his memory.

How close are we to a third world war?
>>68933961
I don't think it's the time war concept that is the big limitation, rather I think it's the character of the Doctor himself. The War Doctor started out as the kind of character who didn't want to fight in the war but had to, and he ended as the character who didn't want the war to continue so he chose to end it. Maybe I'm just not good enough of a writer but I don't think there are that many arcs of character development you can shove between these two point, the biggest part has already been covered in Engines of War. I have the feeling that the War Doctor will just stay this static Captain Grumpy figure forever, simply with different, interchangeable filler adventures in-between.
>>68937094
trump pls
I always wondered what he thought about that awful tag scene of River and Kovarian.

>>68937172
>clunky scene stuck on the end to set up the next episode
What did he mean by this?
>>68937226
What does that have to do with the post? He's talking about the scene of River being captured by Kovarian that's tacked on to the end of Closing Time.
>>68937263
Closing Time ends with River in the spacesuit - totally unrelated to the plot of the main episode. Gareth was probably pissed that they tacked on that scene, especially since it was his ep
>>68937172
It's funny because the tacked on scene is sometimes more of an event than anything in the actual episode.
>>68937232
Hey, it wasn't me who mentioned Kasich.

Whatever turns you on. Admit I prefer Tennant's natural Scots accent, still can't understand why RTD made him do the Southern Counties accent.

>>68937427
>>68937432
>>68937461
yeah I think these all work well. they aren't totally jarring compared to the rest of the episode like the ones in crimson horror and closing time. they're all also connected to events actually in the episode which the one in closing time isn't which makes it more obviously added in.

Still amazed at Rachel Stott's apparent psychic abilities.
>>68937143
that's exactly the point - the War Doctor is in one niche and character developement is virtually impossible
you can make up hundreds of crazy war stories but that's not the point. But even that would get boring eventually.
I just listened to Zagreus
What the fuck was that /who/?
>>68937193
No.
>>68937613
lmao
>>68937193
I guess that's true.. although there was a time when I was looking forward to the continuing audio adventures of the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Doctor. Maybe it's all down to the companion? Evelyn, Lucy and Hex all made me feel like the different Doctors were still alive in that sense because these characters were able to freely develop even if the doctor would not.
>>68937542
Name one candidate besides trump who is anti-war
>>68937631
The only way to do character development with War would be to depict him at a young stage and suggest he was more of a 'warrior' and less reluctant shortly after regenerating, which would then allow you to tell the story of how he got worn down into cuddly old man form, rather than just staying the same all the way through. Obviously that would come with certain problems for Big Finish.
>>68937511
>The fuck does that even mean?
If Moffat made a Welsh actor do an English voice RTD would go fucking mental.
>>68937700
One can argue that Six, Seven and Eight are not in interquels.

>>68937720
That would maybe be slightly better but it's not gonna happen is it :)
>>68937774
In the current election

>>68937700
I disagree. Those Doctors have few restrictions on what kind of stories they can do on audio and they can vary widely in tone from comedies to horrors.
>>68937467
I'm actually kinda excited for Bill butso far I don't think she and Capaldi seem like they fit together. Just me?
>>68937871
This has been dealt with. Including Ian saying it's bollocks.
>>68937916
I don't think either, but who knows?
>>68937467
Who is bill?
>>68937720
>>68937788
different guy here
I suppose there's always books that could have a young WD or perhaps getting a younger actor to play him on Audio, most people don't like recasting even though they've done it with the first three Doctors.
>>68937922
dang
>>68937916
Capaldi hasn't fit with any of his companions so far apart from River. He would, however, fit with a male companion. Someone who was fat and prancy and gay. It would be hilarious. But no. We have to have another woman. PHUCK.
>>68937937
he played the first doctor
>>68937916
I'll give her a chance. Have to wait and see if they are going the Ace route with her. She has potential to be GOAT if they are indeed doing it
>>68937916
So far she seem completely forced and unnatural. Moffat does not do natural well.
>>68937958
He was great with Jenna though.
>>68937916
ditsy companion with grumpy doctor, mate its perfect.
its only a 2min preview desu
>>68937949
OK, but how would the character be any different to the older one?
>>68937958
>Someone who was fat and prancy and gay. It would be hilarious
>>68937856
I would kill for a time-war-comedy-story. Someone needs to make it happen
>>68937958
>Someone who was fat and prancy and gay.
>means himself - a self insert Queery Sue
>>68937958
How about no
>>68937916
Literally the only Bill scene we have watched is a hastily written audition sketch with a couple of edits made. It's a very weird choice of scene honestly because it doesn't quite give a sense of why 12 likes her, it's just her annoying him by not shutting up. But I expect their actual episodes to be much more thought through.
>>68937958
fuck off, rtd
>>68937916
They don't seem like they have chemistry as good as Peter and Jenna had but it was only a short preview. Maybe they'll be a scene in their first episode where they really click. Like the restaurant scene in Deep Breath.
>>68938052
I feel like one or two of the pieces in the Seasons of War charity anthology were probably light-hearted, although fuck me if I ever bothered to finish reading all of them.
>>68938060
I'm not fat, but i'm pretty prancy and pretty fabulous.
>>68938061
No fun allowed
>>68937983
>he was great with Jenna
Nah, he was cucked like a bitch. So much for a "no nonsense" doctor.
>>68938070
Introducing a character as an annoying cunt does not seem to be a good strategy.

>irritating homosexual confirmed

brace yourself for autism
I've actually thought a life-line for the War Doctor
>1st era - He's just regenerated and still slips into Doctor persona, this is his unsure phase
>2nd era - He's angry and has settled into his role as a warrior
>3rd era - there is a short period of peace and he attempts to return to his life as the Doctor, this of course fails and he realises he should go and make plans for when the Time war starts again
>4th era - He's become cold and is more like the 7th doctor, a planner
>5th era - this is the day of the Doctor persona, old and weary
>>68937958
Personally I thought he was pretty good with Clara, and River was slightly less annoying with him but not particularly a good duo. I do agree he'd be great with a male companion, but unfortunately Capaldi himself didn't want that.
>>68937969
>>68937923
Yeah, it's too soon to tell for sure, that's just my first impression based on the short scene. I liked her well enough but as a pair they didn't really gel. I could actually picture Bill with some other Doctors easier than I can with 12.
>>68937624
I told you the day she posted it. You didn't listen.
>>68938151
Oh i do, and had done up until Series 8. Which made absolutely no sense.
12s characterization should've meant that he didn't like Clara. He dropped way less irritating characters than her. It made no sense as to why he liked her and let her continue travelling.
>>68938168
I'm not a homosexual. Why limit yourself to one gender?
People who say there isn't much you can do with the war doctor and the time war, is the same as saying. the third doctor is boring, because he was stuck on earth.
>>68938294
>irritating cunt who is so desperate for attention and love he will have sex with anyone because he fears isolation
>>68938375

Now that's how you write a character.

>>68938387
>he
Don't assume things anon
>>68938397
That pertwee is the best and most comfy era?
>>68938397
That wasn't a statement you retard, I'm making a comparison. Hasn't history taught us, that many stories can inspired from war?
>>68938441
I'm not going to waste time using 100 different pronouns in every sentence you stupid cunt
>>68938422
I know, not the entire run, but for a large portion of it.
>>68938463
if you read the thread you'd know we are talking character development and not a paucity of war story scenarios
>>68938375
So it's like saying something true?
>>68938479
Or maybe i'm a biological female? then again i doubt you've ever interacted with one of them. Not your fault anon. Not everyone was made to pass on their genes.
>>68938493
so you've just proved your comparison is utterly wrong on every level
>>68938559
and maybe you are just making shit up you unfunny boring piece of shit
>>68938606

>>68938655
and now you are simply memeing because you've been BTFO kiddo
>>68938696
you called me a piece of shit. you're hardly Oscar Wilde darling.
>>68938493
But if an author wants to write a Third Doctor story that's not set on Earth, they can easily do it. In fact, there's a huge gap between The Green Death and The Time Warrior where you could even give him new companions.
A War Doctor story with no ties to the Time War would be considerably harder to do.
I would like to apologize for my comments anons, I clearly wasn't thinking there, and not paying enough attention.
>>68938726
But I am not using a camp affectation and memes.
>>68938683
absolutely disgusting.
>>68938758
Yet in your previous post you said i was "BTFO".
>getting annoyed when someone shows you affection
you need a hug
>>68938806
Nice meme.
>>68938806
That's where the Oscar Wilde wit comes in. Using your own meme language ironically against you.
Your level of 'wit' seems to be "you need a hug" which is just meaningless camp, of course.
>>68937916
Don't forget 70 actors were auditioned. Rakhee as well as many others undoubtedly.
The casting people haven't put a foot wrong so far. Even Clala had more fans than complainers.

>The casting people haven't put a foot wrong so far.
this is true except for a few cases. like danny pink for example. samuel anderson appears to be a nice guy but he's not the best actor and the chemistry with coleman was lacking. for the most part tho the actors have been going great. often better than the material.
>they still think chemistry is still a thing and not just good writing

>>68939700
Series 2. Oh my gawd, what was RTD thinking?
>>68939217
I'd say it's 'good acting' even moreso than good writing actually.
So often with poor Danny you'd get to a line and you could just tell Anderson had fluffed the delivery somehow.
>>68939890
I thought everyone would recognize that but now I'm realizing I may be getting old and out of touch
>>68939952
this. remember that scene where clara says she loves him? both jenna and capaldi have the correct reactions but anderson just kind of stands there and looks stupid.
>>68939999
Well I think you're only two to recognise it. I'm a bit sad I spent a good hour to do this :(
>>68939680
It's a tie between Series 1 and Series 4 for me.
>>68939638
No doubt there's a song that these lyrics could be slotted into. Any ideas /who/?

>So often with poor Danny you'd get to a line and you could just tell Anderson had fluffed the delivery somehow.
Sadly still happening even in his last appearance. I just got the blu ray of Series 9 and with the subs on for Last Christmas I noticed some of the dream Danny's lines are pretty funny but his delivery's so stilted it kills em. He sounds as if he's cold reading them off cue cards.

>>68940281
Some of those aren't even the worst story of their respective seasons.

Oh boy if we could get someone to actually sing this on /who/tube it would be the best thing.

British people of Asian decent?
Their a chunk of the Uk
are you going to be all Gareth Roberts about this?
>>68937172
Closing Time was a turd. Moffat improved it.

They look like they've swapped faces like on Snapchat. Except they didn't. They're just ugly because they're old.
>>68940465
i'll sing it later
>>68940474
more like Moffat laid his turds atop Gareth's steaming pile
>>68940449
Billie is still appearing in a show with Timothy Dalton and Eva Green. What the hell's JUST Harkness up to lately?

He almost died in the process.
>Some things you see are so bad, you think you shouldn’t write for a week in case you’re contaminated. In case it’s got into your head. The sheer rubbishness of the dialogue and awfulness of the story construction. You have to detox. But you read a Russell [T Davies] script and suddenly everything makes sense in an immaculate clean way. So they’re huge influences and pick-me-ups. I read Cucumber years ago for the simple reason that I was stuck on Doctor Who, really tired and having a miserable time rewriting someone’s script. And all I was doing covertly was saying, “Could you send me some good writing I haven’t read so I can remember what it’s like?” It doesn’t mean you then write like that but you go, “Yes! That’s exciting.”

They're all shit though.
>>68940362
Would you have picked other examples or do you like almost all of the show in general?That's cool if you do I'm just shitposting.
>>68940281
Err...agree with most, but I kinda liked Let's Kill Hitler.
>>68940474
Ha! Oh, do fuck off. Closing Time would've been great if Gareth's ORIGINAL PITCH of having Tenth Planet cybermen got the greenlight.
Moffat shat all over that story. Gareth had huge plans for a grand cyberman story with deep political undertones. But Moffat forced rewrites.
Gareth is an amazing writer. He's so observational, and his acerbic wit is just as fluid as his writing style. He will go down as one of the unsung heroes of Doctor Who. VERY underrated scriptwriter.
>>68939625
Nonsense. The new producers just saw him as a replacement for Ben and Polly because the character had potential.
>>68940570
Well TBF he never mentioned what writer or story it was. It could have been the writer of Almost People or something.
>>68939638
Shite.
>>68940630
Hush now Gareth.
>>68940535
Billie's good in that too. I never found her attractive so she looks about the same to me but Barrowman looks terrible lately. I think he's still in Arrow from time to time and apparently he'll be writing some of the new Torchwood comics.
>>68940570
Roberts' episode lack originality and effort, but they are at least competently written.
I'm willing to bet that was a Steve Thompson script.
>>68940570
Not inclined to think that was Gareth desu. If Moffat had high standards for comedy in Who he wouldn't keep getting Gatiss in.
Do we even know what year he would have read it? Stephen Thompson might be a better bet.
>>68940656
He probably has AIDS now.
>>68939952
...and then everyone else in charge just said, "He fluffed that but let's not do another take, fuck it."
Why would that ever happen.
>>68940535
Big Finish and writing DW comics. He's having a comfortable early retirement.
>>68940663
>>68940661
The way he says it looks like it happened quite a long time ago so no later than 2013 and Thompson came back in 2014.
>>68940618
>Gareth had huge plans for a grand cyberman story with deep political undertones. But Moffat forced rewrites.
I doubt it, but one thing we do know is that Gareth wanted much more of a horrific aspect to the presentation of the Cybermen. Craig's conversion was meant to be properly fucked up with knives and shit flying everywhere, but the prod team shut him down because kids' show/possibly budget. Source: Phil's interview with him
>>68940691
I imagine that happens in a lot of cases. They have a limited time to make a single episode.
>>68940732
>knives and shit flying everywhere
sounds too edgy desu
>>68940753
There were seesaws in Rise of the Cybermen.
>>68940746
Fuck off, idiot.
remember into the dalek where he had to cry? that was awful.
>>68940721
>no later than 2013
Could have been JttCotT then? I hate to think what the original draft of that thing looked like.
>>68940784
Just leave Samuel alone! ;_;
>>68940535
Some dumb daytime tv quiz show
>>68940753
>dark and edgyThat's Gareth!
>>68940732
Reminder that Gareth wanted the baddie in The Lodger to be the return of Meglos.
>>68940784
In fairness I can't blame Sam for that one. God damn what was Moffat thinking.
>We'll show his PTSD with a literal 'single tear running down cheek' shot
>>68940810
Yeah but he asked him back in Series 8 so if he really was that shit he would have dropped him. Even less co-wrote a script with him in case he git contaminated by his shit work.
>>68940618
>Gareth had huge plans for a grand cyberman story with deep political undertonesthat's gareth!
>>68940810
why would he have him back next year for Time Heist if it was Thompson
Penis in the air
