Wow a thread named after my post, that's pretty dope

Seemed appropriate.
Wow, a thread named after my post!
No but seriously if I hear "Run you clever boy and remember," or "my impossible girl" I'm shooting myself in the head

Hopefully not for at least 3 more seasons, at least 2 of which are run by someone more competent and original than Moffat.

Jesus, I vomited. The Doctor has never had a problem telling his companion about the future. Nine took Rose to the end of the Earth, for example.
>>62683815
What a cutie pie.
See, the thing is. The doctor's actor must be capable of these eyes.
>>62683794
Wasn't the last time we saw the Doctor smoke in '63?
>>62683870
Didn't the Doctor explitly say that he avoided spoiling the immediate future for the companions? I think The Hungry Earth.
My grandma really likes Clara. Should I warn her that she's leaving or let it shock her?

Let it shock her, you might wind up inheriting something
Did anyone ever get the rest of the DWM scans?
>Your Series 9 two-parter was quite epic in terms of story, setting & pace. It has arguably one of the best cliffhangers we’ve had to date for Capaldi’s Doctor, and we once again have another example of just how successful the Zygons are as a Doctor Who villain. As a writer, how difficult was it to get the right balance, and what was the hardest part to write of the entire story?
>Well, it was a tough one to write. But they all are, usually for completely different reasons. I think the hardest part of the Zygon story was working out how to present the world of it in a coherent and interesting way. There were so many different ways for the story to go, and such a lot of backstory that I came up with and is never shown on screen (like how the Zygons were resettled, why Bonnie is called Bonnie, what really happened with the murders in Truth or Consequences, and - here’s one out of left field - how Courtney from “Kill The Moon” ends up as President of the USA), that it was hard to sift through all of that and streamline it into the narrative that you see on screen. But that’s how I like to do things - I like to play around, and explore the world and the characters, and their various possibilities, before I settle on what I think’s the best way of getting them through the plot. I think the hardest part to write was the concluding part, mainly, again, because there were so many different ways the story could have gone. I like what we settled on, though, although it hasn’t come out yet, and I’m still very nervous.
>Can we expect to see you writing for Series 10, and if so, can you give us any (spoiler-free) teasers as to what we might expect?
>Hah! Well, I would love to write for series 10. And they know I’ll always do a Doctor Who, whether I have the time for it or not. So we’ll see.
http://news.drwho-online.co.uk/5-Questions-With-Peter-Harness-%28Writer%29.aspx
>>62684596
I seriously hope they don't get this guy to write again...
>>62684593
I'm working on stuff right now, but I'll deliver later tonight
>>62684673
Moffat's already said that based on Kill the Moon alone that Harness is gonna stick around for a long time
>>62683451
Umm. Wow.
Mind you, the clapping McGann bit is pretty GOAT.
>>62684713
based on Kill the Moon... you've got to be shitting me
>>62684377
Yeah, I suppose he actually does avoid that, but the whole "Spoilers!" thing was River Song and it's terrible to have the Doctor repeat that tripe.
>>62684390
Honestly, I wish I could forget just so it could be a surprise when it happens. I hate the number of spoilers like that which get announced before the series even airs.
>>62684673
He improved dramatically this time around, i'm keen to give him another go in season 10.
>>62684862
Moffat fucking LOVES pointless twists and empty, status quo endings.
>>62684985
this desu
I don't know if it was him or moff who wrote the 10 minute scene in the black archives but that part was GOAT
chav rose was the best doctor who companion
Australian doctor when?
>>62685303
nah
>>62685303
I don't disagree.BECAUSE I AGREE
"OI DOC'TA, WUS RONG WIT ME CUNNY???"
So, just happened across this gif again today, and he looks... determined, driven, relentless.
Almost... hell bent?
(Also, his shoulders are red.)
>>62685408
holy fuck,!
>>62684985
Improved dramatically? The Zygon Invasion was the biggest collection of stupid behavior I've ever seen in Who. From the sheer stupidity of the soldiers being led to their deaths because apparently the basic concept of "shapeshifter" is beyond them to UNIT basically going exactly where the Zygon terrorists wanted them to go without even questioning whether it could be a trap to Kate apparently not being even slightly suspicious of the random woman she runs into in a town THEY KNOW IS FULL OF SHAPESHIFTERS...
Part 2 was better but the setup was so ridiculous that it greatly diminished what could've been a great story.
Moffet needs to go away. He's been running the show for 5 years now, which is a pretty long time. He's had plenty of time to leave his mark on the show and explore his vision for it. It's time to let someone else come in with a fresh vision and new ideas.
>>62685408
>(Also, his shoulders are red.)
Just the glow from the red light
>>62685518
I don't know what I'm talking about: the post: the experience
>>62685558
Nice argument bro.
>>62685568
You fail to enjoy an episode because of the episode that proceeded it? Sounds like autism desu, sounds more like you WANT to find a reason to get angry at moffat because you already hold the opinion that you don't like him
>>62685518
From kill the moon? Yes improved dramatically. UNIT incompetence was really the only massive flaw imo.
Has UNIT ever been competent though?
>>62685608
I watched both episodes back to back, so that probably has a lot to do with it.
>sounds more like you WANT to find a reason to get angry at moffat because you already hold the opinion that you don't like him
I don't like what Moffat has done with the show for the past few years, and so I'm angry at him, sure. But that doesn't have anything to do with my opinion of any given episode of the show. I don't need to invent new reasons to not like what Moffat has done with the show - I have plenty.
>>62685694
To be fair it has been a while since I watched Kill the Moon, and I remember it being so bad that I nearly dropped the show altogether. So it's entirely possible that it was a huge improvement. The Zygon Invasion was still a shit episode, though.
>>62685762
What don't you like?
Is this the crabby crandall thread?
>>62685694
This episode is absurdly uncritical of its own premise and characters are weakly characterized which is pretty bad if you are going to resolve your plot with a passionate debate. Minor characters are ignored to the point of absurdity - Bonnie killed both humans and Zygons but that apparent doesn't count as "going too far".
On the other hand Doctor criticized Bonnie as a tantruming child while idea that humans would club any Zygon they catch out of shape is not even questioned and debated.
>>62685749
Well they were smart enough to use the Valiant to blow away some of the smoke stuff in the Sontaran two-parter
>>62686295
I miss the valiant desu
You know the deal - doing ask moffat, new series stuff and the comic, feel free to request anything else
Also I'd like to request we hold off on /who/ secret santa till December 1st but if you guys really want to start earlier then go ahead I guess
>>62686243
True. It's a bit weird that the doctor didn't even mention the humans being bigoted cunts as wrong.
But even if he did address it, there's nothing he could have done about it, that is absolutely how we as a species would react irl if zygons just appeared in the streets.
>>62682978
>tfw no 9 Big Finish audios ever
>tfw no War Doctor Big Finish audios ever

>>62686834
uhhhhhhhhh
>>62686849
already planning on posting them
>>62686756
So effectively Bonnie was right? Their leadership are a bunch of traitors who did lure them into a deathtrap.
>>62686834
>tfw no War Doctor Big Finish audios ever
uhh?
>>62686834
There are War Doctor audios out next month
Where have you been
>>62686750
What a terrible explanation, he's trying to say the doctor gave the monologue and says jokes while he's alone, because he's imagining us as an audience as some kind of imaginary friend and someone to be a hero for? Fuck right off. The monologue happened because it was a cool way to open the episode, he makes jokes to himself because he's a weird cunt. Why try and make some fucking retarded explanation to something that doesn't need one.
I hate Moffat even more now.
>>62686971
yes
>>62686756
Incidentally, dismissing people who take up arms as "tantruming children" is such a dumb way of crisis management. Social ills that make significant number of people take up arms can't be considered unimportant, no matter how counter-productive their reaction is.
So was that leak with 12 singing to an american diner clara echo actually legit all along?
>>62686924
I've been here mostly, haven't seen it mentioned but god bless you. Still no 9 but I'll live for now.
>>62686865
thank you my good man
>>62687011
>sentenced to die for a murder he can't remember committing
Does england still have the death penalty?
>>62687041
Probably some alien murder and court thing, would explain the Judoon and the alleged counting thing on him that when it reaches 0 will kill him
>>62687041
I don't think it's a death sentence from an earthly government, it's probably related to the alien element in the episode.
>>62685518
>Moffet needs to go away. He's been running the show for 5 years now, which is a pretty long time.
During Series 7 Moffat said he was 'closer to the end than the beginning', but now here he is, signed on to write Capaldi's third year.
He's gonna write all of the 12th Doctor's era, isn't he?
>>62687226
>12th Doctor's era, isn't he?
or die trying
Be realistic /who/ how many doctors do you think we'll get before we get cancelled. Will they equal the number of classic doctors?
>>62687477
We've already had five, including Hurt. They'll definitely get to six, and seven is a real possibility.
>>62687477
moff's said the beeb have business plans to last at least until 2020, so one more doctor is almost guaranteed
>>62687549
If Hurt counts for Nu then McGann counts for classic.
Will we get 3 more senpai.
>>62687609
Not really desu, Hurt was introduced during the new series, while McGann came seven years after the end of the classic one.
Anyway, I think at least two more is a safe bet. Three isn't too far off, especially if the BBC do like they did in the classic era and sack the Doctor actor when the ratings start dropping too low.
>>62687226
>Moffat said he was 'closer to the end than the beginning'
To be fair, it's sorta true. He's run out of stories to tell.
I want Capaldi to run his career aground on this role. 8 years as the Doctor.
this is you
>>62688020
is that shia?
>>62688020
I missed this meme desu
I only just realised how weird that dialogue is though, that man doesn't even mention the word 'normal' yet she tries to make a point about the word
>>62687942
I wouldn't want anyone to stay that long. Five years is a perfectly good number, six at the very most.
>>62688077
However many years he needs to have to become the longest running doctor
>>62688077
Does Tennant get a technical 5 years, since he appears in the last episode of Series 1?
>>62687226
We can hope. Moffat's Who is incredible now. I mean his Smith era was better than RTD but not by much, now he's in charge of one of the best Doctors and best eras since before JNT. I'm not just saying keep him around because the next showrunner might be dogshit like Gaypiss, but I genuinely think Moffat's doing a great job with it.
>>62688112
A doctor's tenure is from the day their entrance regeneration episode airs to the day their departing regeneration episode aires
>>62688132
this desu, I was getting tired of what he was doing with matt but he completely turned everything around when capaldi came along. Stories are much more character driven and interesting and there's a much stronger emphasis on character development and longer scenes for just dialogue
>>62688107
Why? Wouldn't being the longest running Doctor of NuWho be enough?
reminder that the next doctor will be Hayley Atwell. She will be a lesbian with a lesbian companion.
>>62688186
no desu
>>62688170
Apparently Heaven Sent is just one long monologue from the Doctor. Hyped as fuck.
>>62688263
I'm really keen to see what they do with an episode that's just capaldi talking to himself
>>62688132i agreeMatt was great but his run got bogged by retarded arcs and river shit. 6 and 7 just kind of sucked. It was more watchable than Tennant's stuff but just barely. I've really enjoyed him again since Capaldi came on though. 8/9 have been pretty good imo.
>>62688186
If we ever get a Doctor to dethrone Tom Baker, it sure as fuck better be one as incredible as Peter fucking Capaldi.
>>62688263
>yfw Moffat overdoes the character shit just like he overdoes complicated time travel and paradoxes
>>62688485
need to redo this with moff wearing sonic sunglasses
>>62688304
I see it more as symmetry; Capaldi is the Fourth Doctor of modern who.
>>62688538
I had another idea for a Moffat thing with sonic sunglasses I was working on, but I want to finish the Gatiss one first.
I don't keep up with much behind the scenes stuff, is Smith likely to come back for a multi doctor story at some point in the future? Or is he happy to be rid of it all?
>>62688649
i think he'd probably return but I don't think there any plans to do a multi doctor story again soon
>>62688649
Soon after Smith left and his hollywood career didn't take off he seemed to visibly regret leaving the show, but I think people have mostly stopped caring since capaldi is doing an amazing job
I'd imagine Matt would jump at the chance to do doctor who again, even if it's just big finish stuff like tennant and tate are doing
>>62688721
his mom said he was an idiot for leaving
>>62688744
source?
>>62688799
fixed it a bit
>>62688799
perfect
>>62688649
>>62688697
Wouldn't be surprised if they do a three doctor story with Smith, Capaldi and the next doctor
>>62688721
>Soon after Smith left and his hollywood career didn't take off
Has any Doctor who left for Hollywood ever actually have their career take off?
>>62688872
But Capaldi will be in his mid 80s by then.
How old was Hartnell when he left the show?
Is capaldi setting up to become the oldest actor to play doctor on TV?
>>62688872
100th anniversary special - An 80 year old Smith appears in a multi doctor story, his age explained by his ageing on Trenzalore. Can't wait senpai
>>62688910
Well Tennant's still acting, even has a new show on Netflix playing the villain. Capeshit too.
>>62688918
Capaldi's going to play the doctor for the next 25+ years?
>>62688910
Sylvester McCoy was in the hobbit
>>62688975
Tennant has the potential to be the best MCU villain of all time if they don't fuck up the writing.
>>62688975
Tennant probably has the most successful post-doctor who career so far, at least out of the nuwho doctors
>>62688910
Eccleston maybe, if by take off you mean still getting work. He did movies before it, he's still doing them. Sure most people only know him as the Doctor, but outside that his career hasn't changed much. McGann does a lot of narration stuff, McCoy still acts in things like the Hobbit.
>>62689006
Obviously. He said he'll stay as long as the fans want him too. We just have to be very vocal about it and outscream butthurt tumbler whales.
>>62689030
>Sylvester McCoy was in the hobbit
I want McCoy in Star Wars and the Harry Potter movies so that in 100 years people scratch their heads and say "Wait, who is this guy and why was he in every major franchise ever?"
>>62689059
>who is this guy and why was he in every major franchise ever?
>>62689059
Outside the role McCoy is one of my favorite people to have been the Doctor. He's always so great with fans, he's hilarious, and he dresses like a pimp. Every filmmaker should add a bit of McCoy in their work because there just is no downside.
Also I remember rumors back in early episode 7 days that Smith was auditioning for a role in it. I feel kind of bad seeing his career take a shit. What ever happened to that Gosling film? Was that canceled?
>>62688918
Didn't stop based Tom.
>>62689159
Nothing can stop based Tom.
>>62689142
gosling filmed bombed at cannes and went straight to bluray
>>62689159
>tfw he could dye his hair and pick up where he left off with no problem
I checked out Smiths imdb page because people were saying his career was dieing. Two zombie movies next year, one with Lena Headey and one with Natalie Dormer.

Eh.
He'll be neither GOAT nor shit, just unoriginal.
>>62690079
Gattiss is just a constant at this point, I'm indifferent towards him
His episodes are usually inoffensively mediocre, could be a lot worse

The saying "Tennant was shit meme" meme isn't funny anymore. Fucking spamming forced memes is the reason /who/ is so shit. Why wouldn't you want a nice comfy /who/?
Spending so much time on /who/ is sad, but spending so much time spamming it with memes is even sadder.

>>62691348
>>62691393
you're just racist desu
>>62691459
maybe that being said though I hate Kate's character and through last season Clara annoyed the shit out of me, Clara was just cringe worthy.
>>62691528
you're just sexist desu
>>62691541
okaayyy then
>>62691348
Even my girlfriend, who usually doesn't have much of an opinion on Doctor Who other than, 'lel mad, that was pretty good' Wouldn't shut up about how terrible he was all the way through season 8.
He's the fucking worst.
>>62692141
your GF sounds kewl
>>62692213
I don't hate her.
>>62692141
My wife hated Danny. Also she hates Clara so much she refused to watch this season. She will gladly see the episode when Clara dies I guess.
>>62692310
Haha fuck. Hold onto that one m8
>>62692264
that's good to hear. Maybe you should quietly worship her though.
>>62692310
I can't wait until Clara goes myself. I wanted her gone before this season.
>>62692366
What the fuck are you talking about? Nothing about my original post was worshipping her you complete fucking retard. Replace 'gf' with 'friend' if it stops your autism triggering.
Its an example about how shit Danny is. Someone who doesn't usually care enough to bother raging over the show completely hated him.
>>62692366
She is goog to look at, but I want someone new. I thouth the Ponds (which I adored) overstayed in those few episodes of 7th series, but I'll take the worst Ponds episode instead of best Clara one.
But I liked in RTD era that every season was kinda different with cast. I'm hoping that there will be a guy companion now. The Doctor need a buddy, like Jack Harkness or Jamie. I really liked 11 with Owen. I miss that kind of relationship, cause I got bored with Doctor + pretty lady.
>>62692141

Well
They're a thing
Second boxset is out in February, with two more on the way
Did you also not hear about the 10/Donna audios coming in May?
>>62692473
Jamie was The Doctor's best friend. Shit I want another 'Jamie-esque' male companion who isn't tied to a female companion. Actually I would like to see a solo male companion, just for a change.
>>62692448
whoa hold your cock cowboy. this maybe a lost in translation moment, let's just drop it
>>62692632
Yes. I liked Rory, but he was basically Amy "plus one". I wouldn't mind if he get two companions, male and female, but I'd like the guy to be "doctors buddy", not a romantic addiction to the girl
>>62692754
it would be perfect. Is it too much to wish though?
>>62692754
What 12 really needs iswilf
>>62692882
I think Moffat is scared of being sexist, so he tries to creates as many strong women as he possibly can, cause we guys have The Doctor.
>>62692913
unfortunately he thinks the only way a woman to be strong is for her to be a dominatrix
>>62692913
>>62692927
sounds about right. It is sad to think that though. Is it Moffat, or is it the BBC. They really need to get everything in check
>>62692632
I think a good basis for a new male companion would be Steven. Young, headstrong, friend with the Doctor but sometimes challenges him when he feels he's doing something wrong.
I could see Capaldi's Doctor working very well with a character like that.
>>62692896
I loved 10 and Wilf in The End of Time. I think 12 and a young male companion would work similarly in some ways, and be the opposite of that in some others.

>>62693049
What the fuck is wrong with these people?
Why would they reveal that?
Why would anyone write a synopsis that possibly ruins the cliffhanger of the previous episode?
Oh, and Peter Capaldi revealed in Graham Norton that Clara leaves at the end of Face the Raven.
>>62693094
It's the bums-on-seats principle. It happened back with series three as well, spoiling The Master's return in advance summeries
>>62693094
>Why would they reveal that?
well fuck, should I abandon /who/ for the next month if I want any hope of not finding out what 'that' is?
>>62693133
Don't worry, it's just the synopsis confirming that Gallifrey is indeed back and the Doctor faces the Time Lords and the Hybrid, oh it also mentions his confession, so the confession dial is probably back.
Have fun.
>>62693028
>I think a good basis for a new male companion would be Steven. Young, headstrong, friend with the Doctor but sometimes challenges him when he feels he's doing something wrong.

>Clara leaves at the end of Face the Raven
Thank fuck for that, good riddance.
>>62693496
Moffats talent nowadays seems to be taking ideas that sound really awesome and executing them in a such a way that people don't become disappointed with a lost opportunity, they become angry knowing it could be done so much better.
>>62693503

>"I’ve always loved what Russell did with Billie Piper," he said. "Because you hadn’t really had in Doctor Who a very clear, working-class voice. And I liked how Billie was very clearly someone who lived on an estate, and was a normal person.
"Which in a way the show hadn’t really done that before. It was of its time, in the sense that everyone spoke standard English, and it didn’t always reflect the real world. So I always like it when they have companions who reflect the real world – which Jenna does, because she’s from Blackpool. You can’t get more real-world than Blackpool!"
>There is, of course, a possibility that the next companion could be a twist on the norm – a male companion. What does Capaldi think of Doctor Who turning into an intergalactic lads on tour?
>"I quite like the idea of classic Doctor Who, which I must probably identify as Jon Pertwee or Tom Baker. Which is Jon Pertwee with Katy Manning and Elisabeth Sladen; and Tom Baker with Elisabeth Sladen – I just think that combo of the slightly strange and alien Time Lord with the intelligent, enthusiastic and inquisitive girl is a good combo. I don’t know why – but it just seems to work.

Of course not. He wants another blazing hot 20 something slag he can defile with his capaldick between takes now that Jenna is leaving
>>62694127
That's because Capaldi can't get sexy with a male companion. He wants to make sure he can have sex with the next companion like he did with Jenna.

Yeah yeah we'll see. He also said his Doctor didn't do romance at all because 'that's not what he's about.' He's not very consistent.
I'll bet it's gonna be the same Moffat style flirting except 12 will make his scowly eyebrow face at first. Capaldi probably just thinks the novelty of River not looking older for once somehow makes it a different dynamic.
>>62694329
I think Capaldi was against romance because Jenna is way younger than him so he thought it would come across as creepy or something. I could be wrong though.
>>62694195
your lose
>>62688924
He already is if you don't count War doc.
>>62694378
Possible, but he should have just said that if that's the case rather than making 12 one way originally (and something different that worked for his Doctor) only to change his mind completely. I love Capaldi as an actor so I still find things to appreciate about his poryrayal but a lot of things they've been doing with 12 post series 8 seem like desperate damage control rather than what they really wanted to do with the character, this River romance shit is the newest example. It's a shame.

He's not only 'lighter' though, he's got a different personality and it's not for the better, it's just boring now that it's more if the same that we got with 10 and 1. It worked better for them, but a rehash of that doesn't suit Capaldi.
Anyone have a bigger version of this pic?
>>62694608
I don't care what some actor thinks, I'm stopping when she goes at the end of Series 9 because that'll be the end of an era somewhat and I've already invested enough time in it to want to finish it

Eh. I don't see that. 12 feels pretty different to them imo, Capaldi plays it differently. He still feels like his own thing to me. To each their own though I guess.
>>62694795
That's true I suppose, but I also have never understood why people do care if you stop watching something either.
>>62694676
wrong anon, anon

in my opinion people that announce they're dropping never leave.
"i'm leaving and not coming back until Moffat is gone" yeah no, see ya next week.

There's one line I didn't get, the 'just because my pretty face has turned your head....'

That's all he did.
(Also, they gave him a really deep menacing voice in the German dub, not even the guy who normally did his voice for DW. It's hilarious. Spindly lanklet with an IN A WORLD voice.)
Anybody else laughed that he was credited as "Matthew" Smith?
>>62695671
I think Matt deserved it.
Thought he was too good for Doctor Who?
He could at least stay for one more year, his hollywood career wasn't going anywhere and neither it is now.
>>62695735
i don't get why matt signed up for the role.
i realize he was a terminator fan and got to work with based arnold but come on. couldn't he see his character sucked? oh well.
>>62695766

>>62695767
He was probably hoping for a bigger part in the sequel? I mean, he survives this movie. Quality of the story aside, did it make bank to justify another installment?

i think the sequel was put on hold iirc
i could be wrong though
>>62695216
>>62695631
I don't think they will recast any living Doctors. Not for now, at least.
They waited more than a decade for Tom Baker, and the wait paid off. They'll be waiting for Eccleston for a good few years before they try recasting him.
>>62695881
Kingmaker had a Tom Baker recast. Jon CUlshaw filled in for Four on a tape Five is listening to.
>>62695901
Yeah, but that was for comedic purposes. It was never meant to bea serious thing in the way that the Third Doctor's recasting is.

I agree, he deserved a flop. He left because he thought he was gonna make it big after Ryan Gosling cast him in his failed art house film, not because it was the right time for his Doctor to go.

You guys don't pay attention. He wanted to bring them back but not like that. First they where gonna destroy earth, they were in a angry stage because of being placed in the time lock. He'd literally be fucked and so would the universe if he brought them back at that time. NOW they are not so angry, even giving him new set of regenerations. He can bring them back knowing they won't do anything stupid. I explained it pretty bad but you should somehow get what I mean from that retarded paragraph somehow.
>mfw The Doctor calls the hybrid in the finale Clalek
>Universe joins with Roses Universe to become hybrid. Rose and 10 are back.
>Rose Tyler:Defender of the earth releases April 2016
>>62697649
that's only thanks to Moffat's retcon that this even makes sense though
if Moffat had left Gallifrey alone after the last Tennant episode then the explanation for the sudden negative portrayal of Gallifrey in End of Time, after all the previous series of the Doctor being positive about it, would just be the single stupid handwave of "that's how I chose to remember them!". That's just weak. And some people got butthurt over Moffat saving Gallifrey anyway, even though it makes way more sense than the sudden ass pull of "All Time Lords are now evil!" "Rassilon is back with no explanation and also wants to live forever even though the last time we saw him he punished the President of Gallifrey for seeking immortality!" that happened in End of Time.
>>62697793
A simple explanation could be that this time round things were done differently, so they never were angry. He never hid them from the universe for being evil he hid them from danger. 50th is actually good for serving a reason why he can/wants to suddenly bring it back again.
>>62697042
He didn't give his life to stop Gallifrey from being saved, he gave his life to stop Gallifrey from destroying the Earth and to stop the high Council from ending time.
>>62697136
Same as above
>>62697286
If the Daleks survived the sacrifice of the Time Lords was in vain.
High Council != all Time Lords, plus Gallifrey returning would have destroyed the Earth.
>>62697500
He did.
He couldn't. Saving Gallifrey then would mean killing everyone on Earth and letting the High Council end time. Saving them post-Time War means he can bring them back where they should be, not right next to Earth, and deal with the High Council some other way assuming the Master didn't just straight up murder everyone in that room before escaping.
>>62697919
>so they never were angry
The High Council's plan happened prior to the Doctor saving Gallifrey anyway. The difference as to why he wants to save them now is the fact the Master probably killed all those corrupt as shit evil high council members leaving the rest of Gallifrey free from those psychos.
>yfw 12 plays the guitar one last time to a fading Clara echo in the diner
>>62698029
Or he tried to but then fled and ran somewhere. He then escaped likely through the crack somehow and changed to a women.
>>62697919
I know it works out now, my point was that End of Time was a mess in terms of how it portrayed the Time Lords and Gallifrey.
>>62698066
Rassilon was practially dead before they even got back to Gallifrey, if he didn't kill the rest it sitll leaves them in a state where they wouldn't be capable of ending time, plus the only reason they wanted to do that was the war itself. If the war is over they have no reason to do it.
