to be fair, they couldn't make the ending as originally filmed work so they had to quickly reshoot something entirely new during the making of Pond Life.
That's also why the main villain suddenly turned out to be a hologram. They cut out his death scene and they needed to explain where he suddenly went.
>>69216377
Show your proof or fuck off Chris.
>>69216377
Is there a source on that? Have they said what they originally intended it to be?
>>69216301
That's because they were written as contemporary science fiction novels in the style of novels of the era.
They are compatible with the zeitgeist of the 90s.
>>69216366
>>69216413
http://www.shannonsullivan.com/drwho/serials/2012d.html
>The other significant cut involved the climax. As recorded, there was an extended action sequence in which Rory took down the two orderlies. The Shakri was not a hologram, and instead was defeated when Amy and Rory attacked him with the syringes retrieved from the orderlies, and the Doctor used his sonic screwdriver on the Shakri's devastating ocular weaponry. However, it was felt that this part of the episode detracted from the focus on Amy and Rory's life together, and so Chibnall prepared new material to replace it.
>As such, on June 28th a number of new or amended scenes were recorded. These included a sequence outside Amy and Rory's house, which was taped at Belle Vue Park in Penarth; more material in their home, again at Church Road; and additional content aboard the Shakri vessel, now erected at Roath Lock. This, then, became the true end of Gillan and Darvill's tenure on Doctor Who.

Not all of them.
Love And War, as well as Left-Handed Hummingbird, and Timewyrm Revelations, Christmas On A Rational Planet, were all good. Those books often questioned the concepts of the Doctor's role in the universe, and even when they went wrong, at least they were interesting.

Trump's actually starting to tie and even lead hillary in general election polls. People significantly underestimate the size of his following, and with his unique and incredibly effective technique of 'brand opponents with unelectable traits' that he used against the rest of the GOP candidates I believe it's foolish to suggest he can't achieve the same thing with hillary and end up president
Murray Gold is currently writing a song Bill will sing in the opener. She's a singer whose concert is interrupted by the crash of a spaceship nearby. The Doctor happens to be there and they meet. Her band will appear several times in the series.

>>69217436I'd relocate if I could, but I'd go with Hillary just to get the fem president thing over with. She's probably crooked and corrupt and not at all likeable, but things went well economically with the previous clinton administration. She's got foreign policy experience, even if she's hawkish. Trump's a meme incarnate akin to a joke. He's a reality tv star. Best case scenario he's a lame duck and 0 happens for the next 4 years.Any canadians or britbongs want to sponsor my visa?

Also, search for fan activity in your area, I live in France for fucks sake but there's still a classic who fan meetup in my town in a few weeks (it should be easier for you if you're from an english-speaking country) and thanks to cons I even met Big Finish fans in my city.

The porn actor?
listening to the FiveWhoFans on spreaker,
its an older podcast about Chiballs taking over.
they've bought up how their not loving Capladi, saying he's a great actor but 12 isn't wowing them.
I'm not sure why people think this exactly, maybe its because 12 hasn't been given something solid to base his doctor around. in series 8 he was unsure of himself and in series 9 he's going to far.

I sincerely hope not

Probably because he's basically another meme Doctor. He's definitely my favourite of the new series, and I really like Capaldi as a person too, but you can't say that his abilities aren't at least a little squandered by Moffat's writing.

>>69220219
How?
>>69219736
Nah, I loved Capaldi long before he became the Doctor and was hyped when he was announced, but I don't think he's been that great.
>>69220286
Why?
>>69220041
everyone seems to be now.
I wouldn't want to be a guy, working in TV, It would be like walking on egg shells,
>>69220258
just the material he's been given. he's had a weak era so far
>>69220336
Who knows? All I know is that I liked most other Doctors better. It's probably 90% Moffat's shitty dialogue, but Capaldi's Doctor only really shines when he's being a grumpy cunt which is actually surprisingly rare.
>>69220457
If Capaldi's era is weak, what's Tennant's? Half his episodes are borderline unwatchable.
>>69221686
The enjoyment of a show is subjective, but i disagree. Tennant's stories were comfy and fun (mostly), and appealed to a mass audience.
The problem with the Moffat era is the quippy, unrealistic dialogue which is borderline cringe to listen to. As well as that, the Moffat era is full of stupidly contrived and overly convoluted plotlines which the casual viewer (the main target demographic) do not give a fuck about.
RTD could write people well. Moffat can't. His characters are too perfect and sassy. Moffat, however, is arguably the 'ideas' man, and is superior to RTD in that regard - he can come up with a good story.
>>69221966

>>69222963
What's being offended got to do with anything? The show being written for fans and alienating to casual viewers is a valid critique and a surefire way for the show to go to shit.
>>69223088
What about that Habbo Hotel reference though? Moffat really gets the kids these days
>>69223141

what you are doing is basing your opinion on someone else's theoretical scenario instead of your own, which is equally pathetic
>>69223183
I wasn't the person you were replying to originally.
I'm not basing my opinion of of anybody else's scenario. I thought S9 was a definite step-up over the last few years but I'm also perfectly capable of judging if the show is becoming alienating to its target audience. I don't see what could possibly be pathetic about making that assessment.

She was a character that died years ago in Who the actress is still alive why did you post that now are you INSANE?
Nabile (Manpreet Bachu): Danger. This is a warning. A warning to the whole world. You’re looking for WiFi. Sometimes you see something. A bit like this{holds up a sign}. Don’t click it. Do not click it. Once you’ve clicked it, they’re in your computer. They can see you. If they can see you, they might choose you. And if they do, you die. In 24 hours you’re dead. For a while. People’s souls are being uploaded to the internet. Some people get stuck. Their minds—their souls—trapped in the WiFi.
Echoing Voice: I don’t know where I am.
Nabile: Like echoes. Like ghosts. Sometimes you can hear their screams. On the radio. On the telly. On the net. This is real. This is not a hoax. Or a joke. Or a story. This is real and I know that. Because I don’t know where I am. Please. Please, if you can hear me. If you can hear this. I don’t know where I am.

Scooti deserved better.

Listen. Buddy. I'm gonna come over there and show you where you are.

>RTD could write people well. Moffat can't.
Doctor Who was never about people. It's about a fucking alien who travels in time and space. That's what I hated the most about RTD: he tried to make Doctor Who something it's not meant to be (i.e. Buffy). I couldn't care less about the companion's family being worried, or thinking the Doctor is a dangerous man. If I'm in the mood for character drama, I sure as hell don't watch Doctor Who in any of its incarnations.

I remember this better as being the impossible planet song

it's consolation for having to say such shitty lines

>IDA: Hang on though, Doctor. You never really said. You two, who are you?
>DOCTOR: Oh, the stuff of legend.
God, why was the writing for Ten so cringey?

MOM HOLY FUCK

This has me interested but I don't really get it. I've never listened to a Short Trip before. How are they formatted? is it like a script? Or is it like writing prose and then somebody reads out your story?
>tfw /who/ will never go on a cruise with the classic doctors and make noncanon minisodes
>>69242926
It's basically prose that someone (usually the companion to the Doctor that you wrote) reads out.
>>69242949
I'd go on The Cruise of Davros.
>>69242967
Thank you. Is it read out in-character? Should the story sound like a companion retelling an adventure of theirs?
>>69240552
What? I just listened to the song and it reminded me of her death.
>>69240666
Should have replaced Rose desu.
>>69241941
Yes, me too.
>>69242825
Probably because RTD kept rewriting the scripts and forcing the shitty epic romance.
>>69243022
Oh wait it says Briggs is going to be reading it out. So I guess just normal narration? hmm.
>>69243050
Oh wow. What's got into her?
>>69243022
No, it's usually read in third-person.
For example:
>"What are you doing?" The Doctor found Nyssa kneeling in a subchamber TARDIS holding a soldering iron. "You've been messing around down here for ages." Nyssa pushed her hair up out of her face and smiled up at him.

Thanks. I just checked and I have a Short Trip in my collection ("Rise and Fall") so I'll listen to that soon to try and get a feel for the format and then try and come up with an idea for submission.
Coming up with stories that are that short but still interesting is hard though.
>>69243133
Best of luck. I hope a /who/ writer gets chosen.
Threadly reminder that Bill is cute. C-U-T-E!
>>69243133
make sure to make a few maymays canon
>>69243110
It's basically just a normal short story from the writer's perspective, the most classic case of an audio book.
>>69243157
Thanks. I doubt I'll even get it together in time but this is still very cool. Especially because it says it's going to be annual. I've been fantasising about writing for Doctor Who for years and so it's great to have a way in.
>>69242994
Would you go on the cruse of Davros and the Deep Space Deviants?
Did you cry? It's a pretty edgy death desu

It's terrible, unnatural RTD era dialogue, as ever.

>Doctor Who was never about people. It's about a fucking alien who travels in time and space.
That's too reductive and doesn't explain the problem with RTD at all.
The concept of Doctor Who and his granddaughter Susan flying around in a box was never something abstracted from the humanity of the characters and prized for its own sake. We are carried through the opening episodes by Barbara and Ian. We like the Doctor because on some level he is also a person.
There is something to be said for how committed the early years were to just putting strange and unfamiliar images on the telly box, but we don't watch the show for special effect whizzbangs. It shines the most in scenes where well-written characters are talking to each other (or to themselves). Travelling in time and space is important because it allows the Doctor to meet new kinds of people in different situations.
At the end of the day there is no getting around the ideological stance adopted by most Who writers post-Cornell, rooted in the Ace era, that the cataclysmic and weird events happening on the sci-fi plane can be a uniquely special means to explore the human condition, rather than existing for their own spectacle. Anyone who wishes stories to exist separately from people will find the last 25 years of Doctor Who writing to be a failed project. Moffat is in this camp as much as RTD (and it's always a funny claim that 'RTD writes people, Moff doesn't' when you compare Martha to Clara).
The difference is that, in making the culturally ingenious move to crash Doctor Who into a soap, RTD inherited some of the genre's cynicisms. Quite often the show coasts on the (reliable) assumption the audience will look past the crapness of its aesthetics and characters and love it anyway. It gets over-familiar in a way that undercuts the potential of the series to be challenging and strange. I would love the family drama in RTD's run if it was done with half the commitment of the best VNAs, but alas.

not enough quips
>>69243317
they're really hyping themselves up, aren't they? Imagine how disappointed they would have been if it was just another alien-quarry.

Impossible Planet/Satan Pit is the best Tennant story
