"Clara was exactly like Amy, Moffat writes women all the same"
I don't remember Amy throwing a tantrum at the Doctor because he left her.
I don't remember Amy betraying the Doctor.
I don't remember Amy trying to become the Doctor.
Reminder that Gareth just buried his writing career at the BBC with a single tweet.

>Doctor Who should represent women as they are: strong and independent!

>MOFFET WRITES ALL THE WOMEN THE SAME WHERE'S THE DIVERSITY
>Moffat casts Pearl Mackie, a black actress

I hate them. No /who/ bait has ever infuriated me this much.

>Amy throwing a tantrum at the Doctor because he left her.
She did.
>>70754379
For like 30 seconds and he convinced her back in like 10 seconds and a blue lens. She didn't leave him and tell him to fuck off away forever.
>>70754215
Pretty fucking boring desu, not gonna lie
>>70754340
That's actually true. Fuck they're killing the show because Moffat is listening to them and they're not even watching.
>>70754215
the fifth doctor always seemed like a closeted gay to me. It's really hard not to ship him with the master.

>>70754215
a bit sloe but I liked the concept, also Adric not dying in this story is a minus
>>70754295
An episode will be set around a bombing on alien warmongers hiding on Earth in the future. The dilemma being the bombing will kill thousands of innocents in the process so the Doctor has to choose.
>>70756192
the worst fanfic ever
Has anyone here wrote any Who fanfic?
>>70756381
actually no that's a good idea , mirroring the isis situation
>>70756440
The Doctor would never willingly do it.
>>70756426
I wrote like three pages of a Seven and Ace story once
>>70756440
Isn't that what the Zygon 2-parter was?
>>70756475
He did it in The Fires of Pompeii
>>70756501
Is it posted anywhere? If not, slap it on a pastebin. I want to read it.
>>70756511
Well he didn't bomb them, just made them talk to each other.
What did she mean by this?
>>70756192
i'm sorry, when have moral dilemmas become an established part of Doctor Who? Since when are they part of the episode formula and need to be done over and over and over again? Is there some sort of secret contract going on with the people at the dilemma-estate which says that moral dilemmas need to be done at least once a year or else the production team loses the rights to do them?
and why the fuck do fans love them? They're always the same!
>Do the good thing
>Don't do the bad thing
>If all your options are bad things don't do anything, the problem will vanish into thin air that way
>>70756556
I don't think we need an episode where the Doctor bombs someone. Zygon Inversion and Remembrance are close enough.
>>70756607
He didn't do the good thing in the Fires of Pompeii and killed the whole fucking city. 20,000 people all dead.
>>70756810
Actually, the volcano was a fixed part of history. He did as much good as he could.
Your scenario, however, is not fixed. The Doctor can avoid a bombing by aliens.
>>70756560
really makes you think
>>70756885
Who said the bombing isn't fixed? What if he doesn't know it is but realises it's a fixed point just as he does it? He can't know about every fixed points.
>>70756946
If it is a fixed point in history, then that's even more of a cop-out. Then there was nothing the Doctor can do.
And it's implied that the Doctor can sense the difference between fixed and unfixed points in time.
>>70756440
'actually' no, it's fucking shit mate
>>70756543
Here we go - it's VNA-inspired, and thus a bit edgy, with an OC soldier who worked with him during the Pertwee days (now retired from active duty, working as a groundskeeper at a very special facility). Basically just the one scene - I may write the rest of it at some point, or I could just greentext a rough outline of what's next.

This is pretty good. I could hear McCoy saying those lines.
>>70754259
Literally the only reason people claim Amy and Clara are the same is because they are both white 20-something girls. Had Martha been white we would hear the same shit about her and Rose.
>>70757618
Fair play if you wrote it, better than other stuff I've regrettably read.
Regardless, my main interest is in the TV eps.
>>70757721
it's weird, almost as if Moffat's companions are meant to be parallels to Rtd's companions.
Rose: young chaf with only a mother - amy: young stripper with no parents
martha: aspiring to be a doctor - clara: aspiring to be a teacher
donna: uneducated, middle-aged temp worker - bill: uneducated, middle-aged black woman
I think I can already see what Chibnall's first companion is going to be like
Serious question
Would you fuck 70s Brig? I've been watching a lot of 3's era and am just realizing how handsome the Brig actually was with his mustache and hairstyle.
>>70758020
Thank you.
And that makes sense. There's a lot of really good stuff in fanfic (i could give you some links if you want), but there's even more dreck, so not wanting to go through the crap is perfectly reasonable.
>>70754259
This to the nth degree. Besides,Clara was much, much worse than Amy.
>>70755252
FFS, Gareth needs to wise up about how the world works. The problems in the middle east are little about about religion, but mostly about land ownership, banks and oil.
>>70756426
I started something a while ago, but nothing ever really came of it.
>>70758470
What was it you wrote?
>>70758327
No. I'm not gay.
>>70758327
I'll admit that Nick Courtney was a very handsome man but I wouldn't fuck him.I would however make sweet love to him.
>>70758492
lol nothing good. Just an introduction to an OC character. It was gonna be set just before the Time War and lead into it from the eyes of a Time Lord who was gung-ho for Gallifrey and the High Council. I thought it would be cool to write from the perspective of a Time Lord who loved Gallifrey and wasn't disillusioned with it like the Doctor always was.
>>70758595
>donut OC
>it's gonna be that kind of fic
Nah, I'm joking. It's not a bad idea. You could write a series of short vignettes, showing his or her point of view as the War gets worse and worse.
>>70758556
And then you fly off with the le jets.
Are there anymore unique family friendly personalities for The Doctor to take or are we just damned to repeat the same personality types from now on until bbc really starts to lose money?
>>70758770
There's a whole lot more personality types.
>>70758752
Yeah, that's not a bad idea. I haven't looked at it in a long time. You ever written anything?
>>70758848
for example?
>>70758882
>ever written anything
>realize that there are people on /who/ that never heard me say "read and review".
Yes. I've written a few things.

Probably the only she anon here that's 50+.
Too young at the time to find Jon Pertwee fanciable (but his son Sean is hot af).
Had a bit of a crush on Tom Baker.
Had massive crush on Davison.
C Baker - nah.
McCoy - didn't fancy him bit he was a good Doc.
McGann - Phwoar
Ecclestone - bit of rough in a good way
Tennant - cute but didn't fancy him (not sure why)
Smith - could imagine shagging him
Capaldi - wouldn't say no to the Capaldick, he's cute for an older guy.

Totally agree, that man's voice is sublime.

Yeah, sorry m8. I'm here on and off, never seen or heard of your stuff. I'll take a look.
>>70759480
I was just joking. Any particular favorite characters in Who that you like? If I have fic of it, I'll let you know.
>>70759323
I ignore the shit-posting.
My favourite Doctor is Capaldi.

>>70759712
Urgh
>>70759690
I hope they vary the Doctor's clothes some more. Every modern Doctor after Nine seems to wear some kind of suit as their main costume (Whoodie as an exception).
>>70760039
I'd rather keep the old-fashioned to modern formal wear, that's something I like about the doctor.
>>70760119
Hmm. You mean the suits?
>>70760201
yes the suits, from the frock coats to the pin stripes
>>70759780
Nah man that's actually pretty awesome! I'm impressed you had those. Any you're particularly proud of and wanna sow off?
>>70760039
I like the red velvet jacket. Maybe Twelve could add a ruffled shirt similar to 3?
I think that would suit Twelve's style, a bit new romantic/ early 80s Brit punk-ish.
>>70760257
This one: http://archiveofourown.org/works/3715294 . It's a short story, and involves Susan
And this one: http://archiveofourown.org/works/3715234 .
And this one: http://archiveofourown.org/works/3718384 . It's an OC Doctor, but I kinda liked how it came out.
http://archiveofourown.org/works/5568487 . This one's rather pensive.
>>70760229
I agree, but the classic coats had more variety.
>>70760267
Hmm. The ruffled shirt feels too romantic for 12.
>>70760257
I hope I didn't overload you!

>The Doctor already has saved Gallifrey from destruction in DoTD so saving it once again from the hybrid will seem overdone and overall a waste of the prophecy that made The Doctor run in the first place
>If The Doctor can't save Gallifrey we'll have to deal with more rip muh home planet angst that will also seem overdone if brought up again
>If the hybrid isn't brought up again soon it will just seem like a stupid plot point that was created to bring back the drama that had been lost when Gallifrey was confirmed not dead
Moffat has driven the show into quite the corner hasn't he?
>>70761109
The Doctor remembers the whole 4 billion + years. It's in both the HS and HB scripts. O!d news m8.
>>70761207
The whole point was that, most likely, Twelve and Clara together was the Hybrid.
>>70761207
Yeah, no, mate. It was shoved in our faces enough that the Time Lords' prophecy could have been inaccurate. "The hybrid" served its thematic purpose for 12 and Clara. There is absolutely zero imperative for it to be brought up again. (Not that it couldn't be, if they thought of something else to do with the concept...that's the point of leaving things so vague, it's so future episodes can make up their own shit on top of it.)

>>70761932
fuck off time waster cunt
>>70762200
Just trying to keep the discussion alive anon. Even if it's stupid discussion that no one cares for it's still better than meme posters keeping the thread alive.
>>70761932
The doctor finds the location of gallirey by consulting an eternal, perhaps they agreed to leave the universe alone during the time-war, so the doctor finds a way to summon them back.
the doctor finds Gallifrey in pocket universe, a long period of time has passed and the planet is fucked up, with some entity keeping it hostage. The locals blame the doctor for messing up, the doctor's reputation has been damaged

Castrovalva is bretty good despite some really shit dialogue.
TEGAN: How do we find the index file? Of course, if we had an index file, we could look it up in the index file, under index file. What am I saying? I'm talking nonsense.
NYSSA: Recursion isn't nonsense.
TEGAN: Eh?
NYSSA: That's an example of recursion, when procedures fold back on themselves. If you had an index file, you could look it up in the index file.
TEGAN: If. My Dad used to say that if was the most powerful word in the English language.
NYSSA: Recursion's a powerful mathematical concept, but I don't see how it can help us now.
TEGAN: If. I F! Stands for index file!
BRAVO BIDMEAD
But it's cool to see Davison playing past Doctors and once shit gets weird at the end it becomes really fun.
>>70762584
The chemistry between Tegan and Nyssa makes it bearable.
>>70761932
All of HS stays the same (The Doctor breaks through to Gallifrey, pissed at Rassilon and the High Council, etc.)
Hell Bent is a massive power struggle between the Doctor and Rassilon, with Rassilon attempting to bring Gallifrey back into the universe proper and the Doctor trying to stop him and keep Gallifrey where it is because of the events in TotD. At the end, the Doctor ouwits Rassilon and the High Council, and is prasied by the Time Lords who want him to be president. The Doctor refuses and simply wants to go on his way, but the Time Lords insist that there must be something they can do for him. The Doctor considers it, and uses an extraction chamber to see Clara one last time. After a tearful goodbye, the Time Lords grant the Doctor his TARDIS and allow him to go on his way.
The Hybrid prophecy comes true; in the uprising against Rassilon, the Citadel has been all but destroyed. Many lives are lost, and the Doctor is horrified, but recognizes the fact that it was necessary. The new High Council deems this the true end of the Time War: Time Lords v Time Lords.
>>70758413
Well that's just incorrect.
The Sunni/Shia conflicts existed long before any Western influence, and most of the land ownership stuff is purely sectarian stuff, deeply entrenched religious stuff.
Just look at the numbers of Muslims in countries outside of the middle east who support aspects of sharia law, and suicide bombings, and they've no dog in the banks and oil fight at all.
>>70762048
>>70762005
why would i pretend to be a 50-year-old woman on /who/? if i wanted to mess with people i'd pretend to have insider info on s10/missing episodes instead
>>70763137
It's all about currencies, petrol and oil, banking interests and land control. If it wasn't, Muslim countries would be left alone to kill as many of each other as they want.
Haven't visited /who/ since Christmas. How are things?
>>70763765
Shit.
>>70763843
Nice to see things haven't changed.
>>70763905
Might improve when filming starts (according to Capaldi during a convention interview, filming starts week after next).
>>70764014
I'll be back
>>70763608
But many Muslims follow/are sympathetic to an ideology that promotes spreading Islam by the sword. That their leaders are motivated by oil and riches has little impact on the religious beliefs of the common Muslim.
The motivations behind 9/11 and the Orlando massacre had nothing to do with land or oil

[Expanding on an older post of mine 1/3]
Instead of easily exploiting his rep as a war hero to depose Rassilon, 12 exploits his rep as a war hero (and some technological ingenuity) to incite the poverty-stricken masses to finally rise up in chaotic riot against Rassilon and the golden towers of Gallifrey.
As this massive social upheaval bursts into catastrophic chaos, 12 then manipulates the resulting panic and disarray to reach the highest seat on Gallifrey and depose Rassilon (the Doctor being the only person who could possibly defuse the situation). At this point he claims he needs an extraction chamber in order to solve the crisis.
He extracts Clara, shoots the General and they make a break for it. Their escape takes place within a Gallifrey on fire and the formerly-Doctor gives not one fuck, not for the elites who imprisoned him for 4.5 billion years nor the common folk he's cynically sent to the front lines in his emotional deadness. Clara is horrified but simultaneously complicit as she runs. Her continued presence is causing instability in the web of time; as one of the guards attempts to shoot her down, the impossibility of the event creates a massive glitch that breaks open the hidden passage to the Cloisters.
As they descend into Time Lord Hell, the Sliders part to greet them as heralds of the prophesied revolution, and some begin to ascend out of the crypt to join in the ravaging of Gallifrey (in an echo of both the Dalek Sewer Revolt and the Handmines). Guarded by a ring of Sliders, 12 tells Clara about his experience in HS, conspicuously changing the subject when she asks what the Hybrid is and saying he only went through it to save her (she's skeptical). But both appalled and moved by the chaos he has caused for her sake, she makes her unseen speech trying to resolve the feelings between them.
As General and co. burst in, Clara denounces how their own corruption unleashed this hell on their heads, to distract them while 12 steals a TARDIS.
>>70765645
Fleeing from Time Lord pursuit, 12 pilots them to the end of the universe, the last planet, as time disintegrates and trying to follow a TARDIS becomes impossible. By happenstance, it's the same planet from Listen. Ashildr is there along with some Sliders. She teases him with the possibility that this planet might be all that's left of Gallifrey, but this barren landscape reveals nothing about what came of his revolution. Did it ruin everything or bring about a utopia? There's a 50% chance either way but everything comes to dust in the end.
They have a conversation about the Hybrid similar to that in the original episode, except rather than poo-pooing any of her theories, 12 says that the theme has seemed to keep re-appearing in his life, taunting him as if in punishment for some old sin. His life has always been as a hybrid, and only now has he realised the true horror of when that goes too far. He and Clara have to call it quits.
His sonic sunnies beep and inform him that somehow a Time Lord attack capsule has tracked them here, despite the apparent impossibility. He realises that Clara's memory of him and the Time Lords is what they are tracing.
Acknowledging that hybrids don't go down so easily, he invites Ashildr onto the TARDIS to prolong the cycle of her life for unknown years to come, and she accepts. Perhaps the Doctor has finally given up on mayflies?
However Clara has bopped on the scanner while he was out, and has twigged that he plans to wipe her memory. She is furious that he'd do it without her consent and he realises he can't bring himself to pull another Donna. He says there's one other way for her to go free, and that's to reverse it and wipe his memory of her so that she might run off without him ruining everything with 'muh duty of care' again. But she can't do it either. They come up with a compromise - fuck with the device so there's a 50% chance of either happening, and they're both sharing the responsibility, one last hybrid.
2/3
>>70765689
It goes as you expect. Clara is distraught as 12 slips into unconsciousness (Ashildr is pretty amused however, not expecting this turn of events).
We return to 12 and the waitress, and what's different here is that we haven't seen them since the opening and we haven't seen her face yet. So the fact she's Clala comes as a late-game reveal rather than an opening bait.
The end plays out much the same. Clara is aware that her existence is a problem for the Time Lords, but it wouldn't be the first time something radical got away from them...and she suspects perhaps the web of time is more flexible than they'd have it appear. She asks Ashildr if, after a lifetime of staying behind, she wants to try running. They whizz off on their own little gay version of Doctor Who forever more.
Meanwhile, as the dazed 12 finds his TARDIS and looks upon the Clala painting with mournful recognition, he goes in, sees Clara's message of "BE A DOCTOR" - but underneath it now she's written a set of co-ordinates. He realises it's Gallifrey. And if he's going to be a Doctor again, he has to go and face the consequences of his actions...the series ends with him boldly stepping out of the doors to see what his home has become. Cliffhanger before we see it.
Reasons this is superior:
- In the script, Moffat wanted this episode to evoke what the War Doctor might have been like in the war. Sending others to fight, i.e. being the true 'general' as in S8, is a way better take than just "lol he cost someone a regeneration".
- In general it pushes the horror of the post-HS Doctor to a more dramatic extreme, and solves the problems with lack of tension/pace in the escape section.
- It pays off the conceptual weight of Gallifrey's current presence in NuWho, without ignoring 12's emotional arc or the themes from series 9.
- It plays the themes and plot beats in a more deliberate way rather than the slightly mish-mashy fashion we actually got.
I'm new to this show, nearing the end of series 1.
So far i'm on board, but I've come across something that makes little sense.
In the episode 'Boom Town', Jack appears to be telling a humorous story about an experience he had. Now, having just met him this episode, how does Mickey know what Jack is about to say?
>>70766611
It's an old Bugs Bunny joke

Whatever, at least I know it was a bad attempt at a reference rather than a massive oversight by the writers.

You don't have the context. The joke is that we arrive midway through some absurd story we couldn't possibly imagine the details of, maybe Mickey just guessed because he heard the whole story.

Goddamn do a lot of people die in The Traitors. I knew Katarine was gonna get the axe, but I was not expecting Bret Vyon to bite it so early on. Speaking of him, it was awesome to see Nicholas Courtney; I wasn't expecting that.

Oi m8, you better watch out.
He was in Masque of Mandragora TWICE
>>70776939
This particular TARDIS always looked a bit like the roundels were drawn or painted on, perhaps with a graphite penicl, to me. It's very peculiar.
They look like pictures of roundels rather than actual roundels

Has Phil Sandifer ever commented on Gareth's shit? I remember in one of his older essays he names Roberts as someone he's on good terms with (they look like buds here: https://twitter.com/oldroberts953/status/335439207956881408) but now it's obvious they're basically on opposite ends of politics. I imagine Phil being too cowardly to openly say anything negative about him though.

This is the funniest thing you've accomplished cats, well done. What did he block you for the first time?

>Has Phil Sandifer ever commented on Gareth's shit?
>>70777423
so while gareth is spouting his right-wing stuff phil's calling him kinky? interesting
>>70777507
Yeah, I don't know the context - maybe just the conceptual weirdness of a gay Tory? - or how Gareth's related to B7 in the first place
>>70776985
>they look like pictures of roundels
there's a reason for that
The Feast of Steven is easily the weirdest yet funniest single episode of Who I have ever watched. I didn't think I'd like it since it seemed like a filler episode in an already long serial, but I really enjoyed it.
>excellent sense of humor
>that Bing Crosby "cameo"
>that fourth wall break
Not to mention the best line in the episode:
>This place is a madhouse! It's full of Arabs! Come on!
Based Hartnell.
>>70777930
Surely not. Surely they didn't just draw roundels onto the wall. Did they think nobody would notice?

It was just a silly kids show displayed on 8" screens. If anyone noticed, they were too busy picking their noses to care.
>>70777601
>the conceptual weirdness of a gay Tory
I don't know that he's a tory. He's definitely anti-Islam though and given recent events it's honestly more weird that there are still any gay people willing to say anything in defense of Islam.
>>70778971
>it's honestly more weird that there are still any gay people willing to say anything in defense of Islam.
The shooter wasn't even religious. Shut the fuck up.

How many Doctor dies in Heaven sent episode?exact number?
>>70780717
There isn't one
>>70780717
It would be impossible to get an exact figure, but at least billions
Let's say each Doctor lasts around a week, so 7 days. 7 days for each Doctor. So multiply 7x4500000000 = 31,500,000,000 Doctors.
>>70781202
that's a lot of Doctors.
>>70781202
you're wrong. 819,000,000,000,000 doctors
>>70781588
you're wrong. 17 doctors.

Ok. So there were 8 quintillion doctors in the whathaveya. Fine.
So how come the painting didn't reset with everything else? How's come the stone slab stayed moved?

>“After a few thousand years of this, he realizes he’s going too slowly. He needs to get the next version of himself into room 12 faster.”
>"His solution? Write ambiguous clues (“I am in 12”) all over the castle, hoping that some might survive the dodgy resetting process like the skulls in the lake, the drying clothes and the dust in the teleport room (as well as the portrait of Clara, which Moffat says the “soppy” Doctor painted himself). In the end the paving slab did make it through the reset, and the Doctor’s mission became a lot easier."

>>70782368
>So how come the painting didn't reset with everything else? How's come the stone slab stayed moved?
Because the painting being old and cracked and the slab being buried was the state everything was programmed to reset to. At least I think so.
>>70782368
who nose with the painting.perhaps whichever Doctor who painted it found some way to break reset on that object to motivate himself. and some future ones probably did it too cuz' that thing definitely evaporated a few times.
But he buried the slab to keep it out of the energy loop. it was deep enough to like not be considered part of the castle anymore.
>>70782460
Well. This is a reasonable thing to have posted.
Well done. Anon is sated.
>>70782485
>But he buried the slab to keep it out of the energy loop. it was deep enough to like not be considered part of the castle anymore.
But then why didn't these arrows reset? They're still part of the castle.

I'm sure that you added extra zeros by accident...
>>70782748
>>70782652
The answer is "whatever was convenient to the narrative survived the reset".
>>70782839
The face of a man who wants to reach beyond teh barriers of time and space to fuck Jenna right in the pussy.
Would an amnesiac Doctor work? Like if his regeneration gets interrupted which causes his memories to get fucked and we spend 1-2 series of him getting them back and evaluating his past piece by piece to see what kind of man he was

i've started reading pic-related. it's totally from the 60s, almost all the stories have a "nuclear bombs are bad, mkay"-message.
it also features a story called The Celestial Toyshop but I obviously refuse to read it because celestial is a very bad and racist word.
>>70785472
Did you listen to the recreation? It's near perfect! The problem with unreleased music is you get little bits of unwanted sound which spoils it.
>>70785573
and then they release the final mix
which spoils it

And I forget, why did he take it off in his last story?
>>70767306
Yes you hit the nail on the head.
Jack was the author of that story and was making it up on the spot.
The Mickey sitting down is actually from the future, "present" Mickey is eavesdropping from the table behind.
Alternatively,MICKEY HEARD SOMEONE ELSE TELL THE STORY. I.E. BUGS BUNNY

UK schoolmongs like cats12 and their lame autism.
Cybermongs have been "upgraded" with an extra chromosome with turns them into robotic subhumanoid monsters who are despised throughout Mutter's Spiral.
They have an irritating, repetitive speech pattern and artificial machine language that humans find difficult to interpret.

/who/ a kill
Breaking news: Cats12 has been so butthurt that he requires an immediate, experimental emergency rectum transplant or he will be unable to sit down for the rest of his life.
isn't it exam season around this time of the year? you kids should be studying
His peepee partner, Cloister, has offered to donate his mouth and oesophagus if a replacement rectum cannot be found in time.
so how come the matrix in Terror of the Vervoids has full knowledge about the Doctor's future? At every other point it is merely able to make vague predictions. Could it be that the Time Lords in that story are from Gallifrey's future, from the Valeyard's present so to speak? Did they pull the Doctor out of his past, the same way they summoned past incarnations during the multi-doctor-events?
>>70794234
Hi there, time waster!
Breaking News: Surgeons taking part in, what the press have called, the Cats12/REKTum Tragedy, have reported that the donated rectum immediately developed cancer when attached to the idiot boy and now the rectum has totally rejected the damaged genetic material, known as cats12.
>>70794234
It would explain why the Master know so much about his future regenerative cycle
>>70787342
He was a pretty GOAT Master.
Let's wake up folks.
What are /who/'s favourite Moffat written eps?
My No.1 is Heaven Sent.
>>70784809
See, I don't mind keeping Clara involved in a minor, heart tugging way, but the episode doesn't need to revolve around her. That's what really made it shit.
>>70795741
I actually really like Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon, of course the arc doesn't really pay off in a satisfying way but those two worked well.
>>70795741
Either Blink or the one in the library with the spooky skellingtons.
>>70765645
>implying the show has the budget for any of this
>>70795741
>My No.1 is Heaven Sent.
so literally 100% predictable and a waste of time telling us
gr8 batz m8
>>70795781
You know, I like Hell Bent...but I can't say your way didn't make it better. Well done.
>>70795741
Either Heaven Sent, or Listen.
Blink is still one o the best introductions to Who, tho. It was mine.
>>70795709
Both the Doctor(s) and the Master took it jus the right level of serious.
>>70754379
So lads, was the Doctor lowkey in love with Amy or...? We saw what he's like with a "best friend" with Donna and he and Amy were much, much closer than that.
I just never fully understood what Moffat was going for with their dynamic.
>>70795741
I think I really do enjoy most of what he has written
>Empy Child/Doctor Dances
>Girl in the Fireplace
>Blink
>Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead
>Eleventh Hour
>Pandorica Opens/Big Bang
>Impossible Astronuat/Day of the Moon
>A Good Man Goes to War
>The Day of the Doctor
>Time of the Doctor
>Dark Water
>Heaven Sent
All episodes I consider wonderful and GOAT. If I really had to pick just one, I think The Pandorica Opens would take the cake for me.
>>70795934
You didn't like Listen?
>>70795897
Pryce was perfect. Just the right amount of camp.
>>70795934
>>70795966
I do I just forgot about it. Throw that one up there too.
>>70795932
Maybe initially, but she seemed to appreciate Rory more after he was a Roman, the Doctor kind of slipped into this friend-of-the-family role.
>>70795932
Amy had some issues with dependency and insecurity, so she tried to have a fling with the Doctor (before the wedding). The Doctor (wisely) rebuffed her, knowing it was a moment of weakness on her part.
Eventually, she got over it. She always loved Rory anyway, and so the three of them becone great friends. The Doctor had more of a paternal relationship with Amy, which gave it some warmth. Plus, to say Donna can't be his best friend because he was so close with Amy, is like saying Amy can't be his best friend because of Clara, or Ace, or Sarah Jane. The Doctor tends to, in ach incarnation, have close friendships with different people. They don't invalidate each other--if anything, it may have been Amy's similarity to Donna that endeared Amy to the Doctor, but that's going toward headcanon territory.
They're all the Doctor's friends, but in different ways.
>>70795932
>So lads, was the Doctor lowkey in love with Amy or...?
No idea m8 I'm not a fucking queer.
>>70795828
Agree. It's not my favorite Moffat episode but people have retroactively shitted on it after how disappointing the arc ended up being. But if it you take it on its own it was a really BOAT set up.
>>70795934
I should dilike Time of the Doctor. It has a straight-up anticlimactic ending for the Silence arc, and it goes through one of the most interesting parts of 11's life in ten minutes.
But Eleven's ending speech to Clara (and Jenna's wonderful acting with "Please, don't change") is wonderful.
Never tell him the rules, baby.
>>70795828
It really feels like epic Who.
