What does /who/ think of this very trippy serial?

You should put a warning in the OP next time going all "Don't reply to the mongo anon". He can easily be detected.

The guy who played Hindle was great. He was DCI Meadows in The Bill. The guy who played Reg Hollis was in the weird dream sequence.
>>70862360
Yeah, this is one where Adric's bullshit really detracts from the more interesting stuff going on with Tegan. And Nyssa... just isn't in it. (Does anyone know why? Was it like in the Hartnell era where people would just go on holiday?)

all the reaction faces he uses are from other shows and i don't think he's ever actually demonstrated knowledge of the plot

KTM is possibly one of the most literal Doctor Who episodes ever written. It is very straightforwardly a story about "what is the right thing to do if you have to gamble the human race against the life of an unknown alien egg thing".
The clue that it's not an allegory - at least, not in the way people think - is that "space chicken dragon inside the moon" has absolutely no cogent reference point in human life. It's the point at which all attempts to claim it's an abortion allegory completely derail and lose all meaningful relevance to the real phenomenon of human pregnancy.
The story is trying to articulate a philosophical viewpoint, but not one about inter-human politics. It is implicitly saying that the existence of humanity is not so crucial in the grand scheme of things - that it would be a noble sacrifice if we all died trying to give a chance to an incomprehensible new life. The idea that there might be things beyond, in the unimaginable outer universe, more beautiful and incredible than our pathetic little fleshbag consciousness could ever match. Harness, and Moffat by extension, are asserting that the embrace of this possibility - rather than its self-preserving, fearful rejection - is the ideal for humanity.
Now when it comes to applying this to real life, you have to filter that through the fact it's a genre sci-fi piece, and both the 'universe of wonders' advocated by the Doctor and the 'universe of terrors' believed in by Lundvik are actually just sci-fi genres. If KTM is an allegory for anything it's for fiction, and the ways in which we imagine. By presenting us with Clara's radical 'correct' choice and in the process possibly offending our own moralities, it's pushing for us to try imagining in a way that opens us to both the notion of humanity's insignificance and a positive view of the infinite unknown.
Whether it does that well is another matter.
>>70863054
We all figured that out cats. It's probably a GoT cunt.
>>70863172
>all attempts to claim it's an abortion allegory completely derail
Absolutely. No unborn child threatens the entire Earth with immediate destruction if it is born.
Jesus /who/ I didn't realize season 3 was gonna be this dark. I thought maybe after everything they went through in The Dalek's Master Plan that The Massacre might have been a little brighter, but it was just as dark if not darker.
>The Doctor disappaering for most of it
>Steven trying desperately to prevent the inevitable, but the Doctor shows up at the last second to tell him it was all in vain
And then those final scenes in the TARDIS where Steven tells the Doctor to fuck off after condeming Anne to death... fucking based, Steven. Not to mention the Doctor's little speech about being alone after Steven "leaves" at the end where he contemplates returning to Gallifrey. Season 3 has just been pretty savage so far. The gloom was kind of alleviated after Dodo stumbled on to the TARDIS, but I think that could have been handled better.
Does season 3 get brighter, /who/? The first two seasons just weren't this dark. I enjoy it, I just didn't expect it.
Would /who/ do Pie Lord's daughter ?
>>70863341
Actually it does since every newborn child is another weight in the food challenge we're gonna face by 2050.
>>70863359
One of the best serials ever.
Dodo gets lighter stories.

>Jesus /who/ I didn't realize season 3 was gonna be this dark. I thought maybe after everything they went through in The Dalek's Master Plan that The Massacre might have been a little brighter, but it was just as dark if not darker.
It's John Wiles. I'm not just memeing, he's basically the Hinchcliffe of the 60s in both tone and quality.
>Does season 3 get brighter, /who/? The first two seasons just weren't this dark. I enjoy it, I just didn't expect it.
Yeah, it's gets brighter. The Ark is already quite a fun story, and although the acting is shit, it has some of the best direction and visuals in Classic Who.
>>70863172
I fucking love well-written over-analisation of Doctor Who episodes. Bravo. Whether any of this was intentional is another question. But your interpretation is interesting to read.
>>70863666
>you're not nearly as clever as you think you are

I've got a funny feeling he'll surprise people desu, Lucas has the skills if they just build him a half-decent character.
>>70864103
I think the philosophical part is deliberate, and the genre commentary part is a subconscious consequence of doing it that Harness probably didn't explicitly think about while writing. But if you present a philosophical position that could only ever matter in fiction, you inevitably make a statement about fiction in the process.
>>70864706
he's gonna be a comfy bro companion I can feel it
Is pretending Nardole is going to be a companion a 4chan meme?
>>70864852
he might not be a full time companion but I think we can expect him to join 12/bill on a few adventures.
>>70864641
I said the real phenomenon of human pregnancy, which is a lot more than just a baby and kicking. For example, you don't find out you're pregnant 45 minutes before going into labour, and it's usually a consequence of a physical action that was done to your body during your life, rather than an astronomical event that predates your species. These distinctions are pretty important for any woman considering an abortion.
>>70864981
No reason to think that at all. What makes you so sure?
>>70865040
>scripts
>>70865087
>>70865087
yeah we already know he is in more than one episode, but that does not mean what you said - joining them on a few adventures - it just means he appears in more than one episode
>>70865155
How he will possibly factor into the series if he's not gonna travel with them in an episode or two? Will he just be a head in the console room?
>>70865272
>Will he just be a head in the console room?
it's possible

>>70865312
I mean that would be kind of funny I guess, might be get old quick though.
They have announced the new companion.
They have described Nardole as a regular.
the hottest companion of all time.
>>70865423
that's not Nardole

>>70865737Are you familiar with the "Streisand Effect"?
>>70865337

>>70864983
That just means it's a shitty metaphor. Doesn't change the fact that episode constantly draws the analogy between the moon baby and a human baby.
>>70865639
>>70864852
It's real.
The only thing I've seen Fatt Lucas in was Krod Mandoon and he was hilarious in it desu
>>70866168
>>70866048
The purpose of calling it a baby, apart from the fact it literally is in an egg, is to emphasise the idea that it could be an innocent being. We associate children with innocence.
At the end of the day it's staggeringly unlikely that Doctor Who would do an anti-abortion episode and even Harness has denied it, so the poorness of the abortion allegory should really be expected. Because, you know, it's not meant to be one. Tbh I'd have cut or de-emphasised some of the muh baby lines because they led too many people to misinterpret.
Are we getting a new theme and vortex for Series 10?
>>70865758
Ayyy paint anon!
(That is you, right? Signature's different this time)
>>70866578
Yes
I've just realized Tom Baker was narrator for Little Britain, which Nardhole starred in.

>>70866569
>The purpose of calling it a baby, apart from the fact it literally is in an egg
I don't get what you mean by this since eggs are not babies.
>even Harness has denied it
He has? Last I heard he gave some wishy-washy shit like "I don't want to spoil anyone's interpretation." Which is what I would say if I wrote a blatantly pro-life episode of Doctor Who but didn't want to be labeled a reactionary by the liberal television industry, whereas if I was pro-choice and lots of people interpreted my episode as a pro-life allegory and either looked down on me for it or felt it was right on, I most certainly would want to spoil that interpretation. But that's just me.

But nothing is ever going to reference the K9 movie to make it canon.

Hi Steve.
When are you going to let Gareth Roberts write a script again?
What are you scared of? Is it because he's CLEARLY a better writer than you?
Fucking coward.
>>70868565
What would be wrong with that ?
>>70868908
getting fat
>>70866762
He's neither going for pro-choice or pro-life. If you see it that way, he's not gonna say "That's wrong!", but that wasn't really what he was going for. He didn't really care about the abortion argument at all, when it came to the story--it probably never occurred to his mind.
I think he was going for the "Would you kill a baby that might grow up into monster, or might not? Would you take that risk, knowing that you might be murdering an innocent?" You're getting hung up on the "eggs aren't babies", when it was really going for the natural inclinations people feel for children overall.
Anyone kind of actually like the 6th Doctor's costume? I mean when I first watched through Colins run I just thought "wtf were they thinking?" but overtime it's kind of grown on me and I kind of enjoy how outlandish and ridiculous it is... Maybe it's just stockholm syndrome.
>>70869214
Yeah i don't mind it either. You get used to it.
>>70869133
I think most complaints against the ep were that it was scientifically impossible. I know it's sci-fi, but even sci-fi needs to be vaguely possible.
Just sayin.
>>70869214
the outfit never really stuck out to me. I accepted that this is what the Doctor wears and then never paid any more attention to it.
I was actually quite surprised when I found out that it caused a huge controversy among fandom.
>>70869214
12's hoodie costume is worse. I like 6's costume.
>>70869214
Reminder that the Doctor still wears question mark underwear.
>>70869214

>>70862278
An all-time classic. Hindle is one of my favorite one-off Who characters.
>>70863008
I don't usually go for updated effects but I have to agree. The fact that it looks completely out of place with the rest of the story actually suits a creature like the Mara well.

What do you think the general tone of S10 will be? My feeling is after two more-or-less "dark" seasons, and with Matt Lucas on board, they're gonna go full goof. Which could go great (Douglas Adams, Holmes in Ribos/Sunmaker mode, evenThat's Gareth!) or really poor (Gatiss).

Yuuuuuuuuup. I figured I might as well do it all. I figure I'll know my Classic Who pretty well by the end of it all. It's not too bad since the Target order isn't the same as the air order for the show; things are usually kept relatively frsh.
"Don't let him touch you," Nancy warned the Doctor as the small figure knocked insistently at the door, "He'll make you like him."
"What's he like?" the Doctor asked over the knocking as it grew louder. "Nancy, tell me about the child. Why does he wear the mask?"
The door burst open. The Doctor flinched as a hinge bounced off the wall next to him. He glanced to where Nancy had been, but she was gone. "Hmph," he muttered to himself, "Lotta loyalty for a hired gun."
"Are you my mummy?" The child asked the Doctor, tilting its head inquisitively as it approached him.
"At least you can talk," the Doctor joked with the child, trying to put him at ease, "Who are you?"
"Mummy~ Mummy~" the child chanted, an off-key singsong. It sent chills up the Doctor's spine, and he decided to take a more aggressive approach.
The Doctor kneeled before the boy, glaring into the empty space behind the lenses of the gas mask. "If I pull that off, will you die?"
"Are you my mummy? I want my mummy!" The child said, not so much reacting as simply acting.
The Doctor's face contorted in a wry, worried grin as the child approached. Attempting a different approach, he joked with the child: "You're a big guy."
"Are you my mummy?"

>>70884932
no, man, there's way too much. The Doctor Who releases aren't that hard to come by (although there is some really hard to track down stuff like Doctor Who's Little Book of Villains) but at some point you get into the spinoffs and spinoffs of spinoffs and crossovers and so on and you just want to kill yourself.
Don't buy homo-erotic short story anthologies just because one of the stories included is about characters from an obscure novel with Iris Wildthyme in it, a character who became part of the whoniverse through an obscure Eighth Doctor novel. Once you do that you're too far gone. Don't be like me.
Please.

Whyever not?
I have all the scripts and books in my camper van. I can fix it for you to see them any time.

Pretty doable with audios.
For example: Every audio ever (not counting readings of tv novellisations) but counting every thing like reading of "Shadow in the Glass" and BBV/BBC audios for Sixth Doctor is only counting just 113 titles.

No worse than JNT getting young fans drunk and bumming them m8

I fucking knew Dumbledore was a fucking paedo!

>for Sixth Doctor is only counting just 113 titles.
I've listened to almost every one of them since the start of the year while going to work or playing video games. It really is doable, since most Doctors (if not all) did less audios than old Sixy.

Reminder JNT actually thought this about Ian Levine's asshole and genuinely fucked it.
>Sometimes at war, soldiers go missing, never to be found. We found them.
The Doctor and Clara must face the MIA, a group of mercenaries living in the bodies of missing in action soldiers extracted from their timeline on the exact moment of their death. The miasma is living off these bodies stuck on a loop but the original owner is stuck between life and death and the Doctor must relieve them before the MIA attacks the Earth.
>>70891616
Piss off. Based on MIA/Mire speculation from GB ages ago.
Fuck off Conner.

the next boyce episode is gonna be GOAT
>>70893011
All jokes aside it will probably be a major improvement. He will do a reverse Gaiman and go from shit to good.
>>70893090
Remember how hype people were for Silver? "Gaiman is gonna save the Cybermen etc etc" Then it turned out to be one of the worst ever. The only good part was when 11 went evil.
Frank Cottrell-Boyce's story was like a fanfic written by a 12yo who had never actually watched Doctor Who.
Gareth Roberts's stories were like Shakespeare himself had returned from the grave with an even greater wit and intelligence. It was like Oscar Wilde had merged with Shakespeare.
>>70893652
I know some fans get bent out of shape when this family show is called a children's show but that's what this episode felt like, it IS like he only had a received wisdom of the show.
>tfw you realise there are no Gareth Roberts stories next year
>>70893762
>>70893798
When you add in the fact that he must have thought referencing a famous poem was clever, somehow, the whole thing was a complete farce.
>>70893798
It is a childrens show.

FCB is famous for award winning children's books and, so not surprising really.Reminder that in the UK, Doctor Who is/was a 'family show'.

Was supposed to be a 2-parter. Instead, we got the ridiculously over-edited shortened version.
