Some of you guys are cool.
Don't come to Gallifrey yesterday.
Well, they got one chance at found footage and this is what they wasted it at. For shame.
I dunno, I kinda liked it.
>>62739055
The opening of the episode gave me really high hopes for what it would be like. The way the guy said he'd "try" to get most of the footage in the right order and how some of it might be missing. I was expecting some nonlinear storytelling and gaps between scenes you'd have to fill in with information from other scenes. It didn't live up to any of that.
>>62739080
It wasn't all bad. Was geniunely surprised by twist in the end, although I should've seen it coming.
But it was pretty boring. Monster explaination was just plain stupid. Design was uninspired. And monsters born of accelerate sleep deserves more.
Doctor Who, no matter how soft, is science fiction. It should not dip into just-so stories aethetics.
So what's the best Gatiss story?

I am about to watch Doctor Who - S01E05 (005) - The Keys of Marinus (4) - The Snows of Terror. I skipped the "reconstruction" of Marco Polo.
Imagine being Capaldi right now. Having given up the opportunity to star in any top drama and work on feature films he took his dream job. And this is what he gets the most bland forgettable stories possible and the casual audience slowly creeping away from this tired old show.
>>62734710

I think my only problem with Sleep No More is that it doesn't feel like Found Footage. Too many cameras. If that would be feed from only one soldier would be better.
>>62739617

>>62739692
Yeah, they're not 21st century movie paced like nuWho, but they're interesting. It's weird how Ian and Susan are the main characters more often than the Doctor. The Doctor doesn't seem to know much or he doesn't want to share. He's not the guy who always has a trick up his sleeve yet. I love how unpretentious it is.
>>62739778
He's still young.
what's /who/'s opinion on the latest episode?
>>62739773
How so?
God, this show turned to shit. It's so sad.
>>62739794
It's a Gatiss episode, what do you think?

Literal trash. Makes it into my top 5 shittest episodes of NuWho list.
Toe jam? That will be a Thirteenth Doctor adventure.
>>62739778
thats how I felt, I would love to see some of the 1st Doctors traits trickle into Nuwho. I was lucky engough to watch from Pertwee to McCoy through the 80's so I was used to the pace, and I have never really adjusted to Nu Who.
How come you skipped Marco Polo?
>>62739927
It's a reconstruction so I decided to watch it later.
I wasn't really feeling the first season, I watched The unearthly child and the dalek story I think. At what point in classic who does it become somewhat like Nuwho?
Oily hair/skin? stuff under your nails? Stuff around your teeth and in the corners of your mouth in the morning? Sweat?
I'm thinking we can make a whole arc out of this

fair enough.
Back in the day, you could learn things from Doctor Who that actually weren't bullshit.
I enjoyed Sleep No More.
I liked the use of the narrator, the atmosphere and the way the Doctor had to leave without figuring out what happened.
It wasn't great, but then neither were any of the other stories ij this season. I only hope that we can get at least one GOAT before it ends.
>>62740156
Next episode will be pointless crap with a big dramatic ending. 11 will be the best episode of the series with a great plot, writing and an amazing cliffhanger. 12 will shit the bed in massive way and leave us all feeling cheated.

Gatiss doesn't know anything about Japan does he
>>62740266
>>62740270
Pandorica Opens and Dark Water were shit.
The Doctor's enemies all combine for the first time in the show and all they can do is a box to trap him in that as it later turn out can be easily opened by a sonic screwdriver anyway. And that's all they do besides luring him there.
Dark Water has dark water exist for no other reason than for "spooky" reveal, Unit is retarded again as apparently even though there's inspections being done by some government office, they later didn't know that 3W was bigger. And tries to make you care about Danny, who's a shit, and her relationship with Clara, that's forced.
So let me get this straight because it's 3 AM and I have no fucking idea what's going on
The scientist guy isn't actually the scientist, but one of the Sandmen that takes his form. Sand-scientists creates a video that can send impulses to activate your eye-boogers to turn them into more Sandmen and uses the Doctor, Clara, and the rescue team as characters in the video to captivate you into watching the entire thing. So that means that nothing in the video actually happened, correct?
But how did the Sandmen know about 12 and Clara? How did they know about the psychic paper, sonic sunglasses, and TARDIS?
>>62740320
Shinduism?
>>62734691
What image
>>62740373
Did they brought Doctor and Clara or are they just in the right place at the right time? Scientist guy brought the backup soldiers to create a viral video with subconsious impulses to create more sandmen. Everything happen.
>>62740320
If it's far enough in the future for Japan and India to get fused together, it's far enough for the religion to change.
>>62740373
It probably happened but science guy delivered unreliable exposition.
>>62740400
Shintoism is more of a culturally ingrained set of traditions than an actively practised religion.
>>62740446
Is that how merging works, I mean French Canadians and English-speaking Canadians are still culturally and socially and linguistically distinct and so are English and Scots and Irish and Welsh and so were the populations of the Austro Hungarian Empire, frankly living together doesn't necessarily mean your cultures just entirely meld into reach other.
The trashbag knights will never get past this paper mache horsehead covered with plastic wrap.
I watch Doctor Who for the plot.
anyone else feel like the eye booger thing was gatiss' way of imitating the weeping angel don't blink thing?
what other retarded monsters based on body functions are we going to get.

The human body is a Gatiss goldmine.
That episode sucked. This series has been great but come on. 3/10 for uninspired monster design, lazy storytelling, meaningless sequences. Ambiance and direction were on point, as was Chopra's acting, but this script and monster design couldn't be saved.
>>62740554
They don't need to have merged (although that may be what Gatiss was trying to imply). Anything could happen to their cultures in two millenia.
>>62740373
if the video was enough why did he need to kill anyone and go through all the shit.
Just send out the video through space.
I just think Gatiss is just unnecessarily romanticizing sleep. It's literally a biochemical process. Keeping yourself awake with coffee is one thing, but if there was a machine that could replicate all the functions of sleep in a shorter period of time there wouldn't be anything inherently wrong with that.
You might as well say that people who take vitamin supplements have created an "abomination" because they didn't get their vitamins from food which is just as romanticizable as sleep.
>>62740633
the guns were hybrid glowsticks and clubs
It felt really Moffat-y, though, didn't it?
Taking something innocent and harmless, something from our everyday life and try to turn it into something scary.
What's next Gattiss?
A monster made out of piss and cum?
Like a hybrid.
>>62740740
I think its a decent concept desu family, if you make the monsters something like coming from a dream universe that can come through when you stop sleeping. The monsters we got were retarded and ruined it.
So, just asking for confirmation...
Everything actually happened, some events were manipulated by Rassmussen to captivate the viewers' attention(like turning off the gravity shields or something), right?
So, this was only the first part of the invasion of the Sandmen?
Rassmussen had everything planned out, I have only one question.
How was the found-footage explained in the episode?
I didn't get that part, I understood the Sandmen were blind, but how did that fit in with the others' viewpoints?
>it's The Doctor, stupid! He's not Dr. Who!
>>62740740
i would think that speeding up the process of the sleep cycle could effectivley burn the body out. maybe the body could degrade as well.
I guess it all depends with the explaination on how the machine and it's processes work
For anyone who didn't fully understood what happened(copy-pasted, credits to some guy)
Okay, so a lot of people seem very confused by the plot to this one. Perhaps it's the found footage material that's throwing people off? It's actually fairly straightforward when laid out linearly, but you're only given enough information to solve it towards the end. Anyway, I hope people will give this a squiz and stop getting confused over the plot of the thing.
To whit: The Neptunian scientists were doing some mad science and accidentally sped up the rate of biological development while trying to upgrade their sleep machine. This sped-evolved a race of carnivorous monsters that were made up of human waste -- shed skin and mucous, mostly. The monsters were transmitted by visual devices, represented by a kind of visual glitch.
The monsters killed everyone, and then they kept evolving.
A rescue mission is sent out to the space station, but they've walked into a trap. Some of the dust has taken on the form of Rassmunssen, the lead scientist and the most likely object of the retrieval team. Its aim is to propagate its species.
The Rassmunssen copy is implied to have a psychic connection with the rest of the dust, and an ability to control and shape it. Some of it he uses to record the rescue team, and the rest he uses to terrify and kill them. (The dust seems to be made of whatever was left of the crew, so I'm going to wildly conjecture that the "dust mote cameras" are made up of whatever was left of their eyes.) He does all this in order to create a video that he hopes will go viral -- a "last will and testament" of the crew type of thing that has the hidden activation signal for the dust hidden inside it. Anyone who watches the video while also having been in the sleep machine will become a monster.
(1/2)
>>62740825
>oh Dear Lord
>>62740864
He then runs off to compile all this data into a believable form -- but part way through the recording he's interrupted. He confesses to what he's done, partly, and then Commander Nagata of the rescue team shoots him. As he's actually a dust monster this has no effect on him, so he instead pretends to be dead, and then gets up and finishes the recording after they've left. The Rassmunssen gestalt creature dissolves into nothing when the gravity shield fade but manages to send out his message just in time. The end.
(2/2)
Watching the next episode. I wonder what Dr. Who has been up to.

Your dad has more common sense than the entirety of /who/
So would it be okay to count that episode as being non-canon filler?
I mean it was pretty nonsensical. Even Metal Gear Rising had more plausibly sciency stuff than this.
Sapient eye boogers? Come on man?
>>62741009
Sleep no more is NON CANON because the opening titles didn't play and it doesn't reference any previous episodes so therefore does not become canon under the two way canoning clause
Just to repeat, Sleep No More is NOT CANON

I'm glad we got a standalone episode in a very serialised season.
I'm actually considering introducing someone to Doctor Who with this ep.
It's exactly what it is, scary, silly, mostly forgettable characters, lots of action without most of it actually making sense.
Great job gatiss, now whenever I rub the sleep out of my eyes I'll be reminded of how shit this episode was

No, I just got feels. Maybe I like Promethean the Created too much.
>>62741281
>overweight tranny who's been typecast as a mentally deficient abomination
How did they get away with this? How has tumblr responded to her(?) character?I could tell she was the tranny because of the nose piercing before anything else
So how would you change Sleep No More to make it actually scary?
>>62741256
The act of the heroism was the best part of the episode.
>>62741226
Classic - Ace, both Romanas, Leela and Sarah Jane(in that order)
Nu - Donna, Amy and Rory, Clara(in that order)
I was pretty spooked when Rasmussen started turning to dust to be honest family
>>62741334
fuck I can't type
>>62741332
Ditch all of the gimmicks to explain how there can be cameras, just play it straight with security cameras and camera helmets
If the sleep machines have to stay a thing, just make the machines convert people into some kind of undead zombie thing instead (no crazy scifi gimmick, just lifeless and aggressive with some kind of super strength to overpower people with)
that's it really. Maybe a scene about airlocks failing so someone dies by being sucked out into the vacuum of space
>>62741337
Yeah, how many kids do you reckon actually watch this episdode?How many of them are shitposting on /who/ about it?

Are you fucking retarted?
>>62742145
It's very straightforward. Gender describes your biological equipment to reproduce. It's not about some sort of social conformity.
People who feel they must mutilate their own genitals to fit in or be accepted are unwell and should be helped.
>>62742176
That's actually sex.
>>62742180
Gender and Sex are the same thing
>>62742109
MtF is most likely, the person has a relatively feminine appearance and voice despite the genetically masculine features they can't change
>>62742166
Personal stuff. Calm down m8.
Mel's entertaining and lightherted and i love her silly scream antics.
Lucie's ok but nothing special.
Clara certainly not a Rose-tier. And Billie Piper was good as Moment, not her fault Rose was clingy bitch.
>>62742217
Not in modern terms they aren't
Sex is biological, gender is societal and you get to choose whether you identify as a male or female regardless of what your genitals are
It's bullshit since really biological sex is the only thing that matters, but what can you do
>>62742145
A faggot who believes he is a woman, is not a woman. An intersexed person on the other hand does have a more complicated gender such as a male with an inactivated Y chromosome or people with multiple copies of chromosomes.
>>62742270

>>62742640
Would've been too similar to last christmas
The main things it needed to do differently was ditch the whole 'sleep dust is cameras' thing and just play the recovered footage thing straight, and make the twist something more logical than 'the static in this video will mutate the sleep in your eyes'

I currently have the music that is playing during Clara's departure.
>>62743254
I've seen Face the Raven and the next time trailer. The Doctor says "12 versions of me running around this place. Question: why?" he then says (I doubt it's 12 but probably the Veil who is maybe played by Peter?) "Gallifrey is waiting. Gallifrey is waiting."

This isn't true. Stop with the fake spoilers.
This is what really happens:Heaven Sent takes place in a castle called the Genesis Orbit, which is the promised land/garden from Series 8. It's a Gallifreyan space vessel. Because of time distortions, there are three twelfth Doctor's present. One in his velvet, one in his hoodie costume, and one in his series 8 costume. Gallifrey is found at the end of episode 11, and the Time Lords intend to sentence the Doctor to the chronolock chamber, which is the death sentence on Gallifrey, a device capable of erasing the accused from existence. He gets out of the punishment by revealing what the hybrid is, and it was him who created it when he was trying to break the regeneration cycle on Trenzalore. The "no sir, all 13" scene is also in episode 12. Clara does die in Episode 10, but she's in Ep12 as one of the doctors hallucinations, pretending she's still there. Ep12 ends with Gallifrey being restored, and the doctor being made president. But he runs away again. The final shot is the doctor in the tardis remembering Clara as he hears her voice. She says "run you clever boy, and remember" in relation to The Doctor running from Gallifrey once more. He smiles to himself tearfully before saying "oh, Clara, my Clara. How could I possibly forget?". The credits play with Clara's theme over them
Oh boy, is it "make up fake spoilers" time again?

No you stop, because Clara doesn't die in Face the Raven. She's leaving the Doctor behind because the Raven got him. That's why she's asking herself to to be brave. But she can't, breaks into tears runs back to the Doctor to tell him a final goodbye and Rigsy takes her out of the street.
This is now a Claudia thread.

Of course. The trailer is a red herring.
>>62741165
More viewers are watching it on the BBC iplayer than they used to. I think the consolidated figures will be around 5.5 million. That is still a drop from when it was first introduced.
>>62743416
No it isn't
>>62743338
So how does Clara die?
Morning /who/
I forgot to ask last night, how did Tumblr react to the transgender actor?

>yfw when you realise BBC is using Doctor Who to plug that invaluable and guaranteed successful slot in their schedule vacated by Robin Hood and Merlin and all those other "great" saturday night adventure money pits.
>>62743474There's a dilemma at the end of the episode in which The Doctor is trapped in the trap street. The only way to get him back is to use the eye of hades from episode 6 again, to re-open the portal. But it requires a death to activate. Ashildr taunts Clara with "what would the doctor do?" which results in Clara giving her own life. Clara becoming so much like the Doctor is her tragedy.

Screencap this, Ashildr is either going to be the Doctor's mum or Ohila. I'm betting on the former, Moffat is making the TV movie canon.

That was bad publicity.
Despite her shock festive return, Doctor Who , played by Peter Capaldi, still faces being lonely this Christmas because River doesn’t recognise his new reincarnation and keeps romancing other fellas.
The lovelorn Timelord ends up chasing River around the universe in a vain bid to to win over her affections.
Show-runner Steven Moffat admitted that the Christmas special wasn’t very festive - but there’d be “lots of kissing” and flirting as Doctor Who turns into a saucy romcom.
Peter said: “It is a lighthearted fun thing River doesn’t recognise the Doctor and he gets upset because she is flirting and doing all sort of stuff with people.“
“She simply cannot be persuaded that he is the former Matt Smith/David Tennant/Christopher Eccleston - so there is lots of kissing, but not between River and the doctor!

She won't be cause Ashildr don't age.

The final twist in Sleep No More was GOAT. Also the effects with the crumbling eye and Rasmussen turning into sand was GOAT.
>>62743781
Do you think Tennant hates his fans as much as we do?

The only GOAT moments.However, Mister Sandman was pretty good, I can't take it out of my head.

But when we first meet River in the library, she talks about "Her" Doctor looking 'so much older'. I would have presumed that was Capaldi.
>>62743853
>swn headlock you
>>62743919
I think she meant his eyes. Matt maybe looks younger but he had older eyes. At least in the BS sense. Also when Moffat wrote that scene with River Tennant was still suppose to be The Doctor for 5th series.
Aaaalso, she probably met Tennant off screen ;)
>>62744055
None of these reasons are very convincing. But I don't necessarily think they had a full arc plotted out for her at that stage anyway. They certainly can't have foreshadowed the casting of a new Doctor. Even so - it would've been something very easy to have worked around, had they felt like it.
>>62744055
According to moffat, picnicking at asgard was with Ten. I always took that to mean she'd had at least one doctor, but I can see how it would fit that she'd still think it was Ten, since she wouldn't know how much Ten knew about their past when they actually did get around to picnicking at asgard, so she wouldn't necessarily have asked him about the Byzantium.
So this week was just Dead Space:Doctor Who edition agreed?
>1 alien planet in 9 episodes

>>62744127
3 bro. Karn, wherever the Maldovarium is and Skaro.
>>62744109
That's exactly what I thought when they were going towards the abandoned ship. Opening scene was pretty much exactly the same as the Dead Space opening scene.
Last night's episode is probably going to be the weakest in the series

And don't say read cause a good book has not come out in almost a decade its all slice of life and romance bullshit
>>62744313
the found footage was the one bad spot on this episode. I appreciate that they tried to write it into the story itself, but it didn't work. They just missed the boat on that idea because Found Footage has already entered into cliché and doesn't really work any more (Only smart use of FF in last 5 years has been the film "Unfriended").
But even despite that, it was good. The pacing was spot on, the cinematography was brilliantly low key and a throwback to classic Who. The doctor wasn't being led around by the cockchain by Clara nor pratfalling and clowning his way through agonising forced anachronisms ("I has sunglasses! In the dark ages! Hurrr!"). He was the most Docterly yet.
Also, men in shitty rubber suits as the bad guys.

Yes they are. Have you even played Rise of the Robots?
When is Neil Cross writing another episode? I rewatched Rings of Akhaten and Hide today, and realized that I had forgotten how they're full of exactly the kind of weird stuff I would like to see more of in Doctor Who.
Akhaten wasn't great, but it was better than what could have been, considering that it was a rush job written because another script had fallen through at the last moment.

Fan service is fan service. You can giggle into your onesie and reblog your e-friends' tumblrs about it if you want. But it doesn't make any of it actually witty.
It's the equivalent of a stand-up doing a hack routine about the next town over.
"So, I was in SHELBYVILLE last night..."
"BOOO!"
"....What's THAT place all about?!"
"HAHAHHAHAHAHHA! It's so true!!"
It gets a Pavlovian reaction out of you. But it's still hack.
