help me out here /who/
what do you do when you call someone on the phone?
>>63172150
you say hello
>>63172150
Just breathe heavily until they understand
I resent the idea the Doctor is all knowing, how he was able to calculated the atmospheric density from the petal, the exact position through the stars, even the gravity from the stool was a push, not to mention he can slow down time like the flash now and do what he wants, this is all too cartmel for me.
I mean really, knowing his exact locations from the stars, think about it, to do that accurately you'd need a 360° view from the planet, so first off it's impossible, secondly he'd need to know the exact location of every single planet at every single time, to the year, even to the month if planets were orbiting quickly, I don't believe anyone would be able to do that, I don't want the Doctor to be infallible, it ruins the character.
Reminder that Clara's gonna become a Time Lady, regenerate, get touched by a Weeping Angel, wind up on Gallifrey back to before the Doctor was born, and turn out to be the Doctor's mother when The Woman reveals herself to be Clara.
>>63172119
You say ahoy
>>63172161
I sometimes see your face outside my door.
>>63172150
Ask if their refrigerator is running
>>63172196
>Clara's gonna become a Time Lady, regenerate, get touched by a Weeping Angel, wind up on Gallifrey back to before the Doctor was born, and turn out to be the Doctor's mother when The Woman reveals herself to be Clara.
maybe
>>63172196
Nice mayme.
>>63172150
Ask for Seymore Butts
>>63172194
I think it was fucking perfect and like it more when he sciences his way out of things instead of using the magic wa- I mean screwdriver to get out of it.
>>63172196
That = dropped
>>63172234
A telepathic field binding the whole human race together, with all of them, every single person on Earth, thinking the same thing at the same time. And that phrase isBravo, Moffat.
>>63172194
He already knows what time he's in by licking his finger and putting it up to the air.
And he doesn't slow down time, he just thinks really damn fast. Sorta fits the "super genius" bit.
>>63172150
Ask if they have Prince Albert in a can, then awkwardly reply "nothing, never mind" when they ask you what you're on about because nobody uses that stuff any more.
>>63172265
Don't get me wrong, I like reversing the polarity of the neutron flow but being able to tell by the position of the stars where you are, exactly is impossible.
>>63172249
Don't act like it's not possible.
Being touched by a weeping Angel for example would send Clara back to before the Doctor was born due to her presence in his entire time Stream, so before Clara prime was born wouldn't be enough since "she" existed before that
>>63172336
He never says exactly, he must be estimating where he is. Then again he is a space traveller already 2000 years old by then, if lowly sailors can get orientation from stars I doubt he will find it difficult.
>>63172194
>I mean really, knowing his exact locations from the stars, think about it, to do that accurately you'd need a 360° view from the planet
You realize people have known how to determine their exact location from the stars and used this to navigate at sea for thousands of years, right?
>>63172359
I bet you a hundred fucking quid your dumb dumb theory will not happen.
>>63172150
write a script of what you want to say and plan ahead for questions they might ask you
>>63172336
You know exactly where you are in your town- without looking at street name signs- just from they way everything looks around you.
The Doctor's traveled long enough to be able to do the same on a galactic level.
Come on, it's sci-fi. He's not all-knowing or omnipotent, he's just had a lot of time to learn this stuff.
>>63172194
There are a LOT of reasons to hate the new Doctors, but this is one of the stupidest ones. Time Lords have more refined senses than a human which they augment with insane intelligence so it's not going to be a surprise he can calculate atmospheric density and gravity and shit. Hell a human can approximate those things. And one of the things that always pissed me off during the Tennant days was how shit his timing always was for a master of time. He always arrived too late to save people and fucked up shit constantly. They're REALLY not making good use of the potential of a Time Lord in the new Doctor Who. Stuff like what you complained about is just an inkling of actually doing shit finally right.
>>63172368
Pure. Fucking. Cancer.
>HURR I CAN MOVE FASTER THAN I CAN SEE OR THINK!!
God, comics are shit.
>>63172405
You have missed the time portion of that equation.
A sailor in 1450ad on his way to America can know his exact location from the stars because no time passes and he knows no time passes, for the Doctor he would need to know exactly where every planet in the universe is at exactly every year ever, that's impossible, even for the Doctor. I don't deny he knows where Gallifrey is from the stars in year x but not from every single year.
>>63172212
Thoughts?
>>63172492
Given how much the doctor cares about earth it's not unreasonable to think he's familiar with what the visible stars look like over the course of time
He could also just be estimating based on the quantity of stars in the sky
Explain why you think series 9 ISN'T the best revival series by far.
>>63172582
No.
>>63172485
But that's impossible, he'd have to know literally every planet in the universe and literally every planet relevant to it at every year in that planets history, if he's even a thousand years out every star will look completely different as planets were destroyed and suns burned out and other suns started, all that is too much for even the Doctor.
>>63172611
Why would I explain something that simply isn't true?
Series 9 is the best season of Doctor Who since Douglas Adams was script editor.
>>63172611
Its had two good episodes and one GOAT episode, everything else has been embarrassing or bland.
>>63172582
RTD knew how to write a flawed character. He knew what would resonate with people.
When I see fans reaction the DW they like the idea of the Doctor struggling with his dark side. when people see trailers for episode 12 the comments section mention Timelord Victorious.
>>63172615
Why?
>>63172588
He wasn't on earth though, he was on Gallifrey and unless he's charted the skies every century or so of gallifrey's existence there's no possible way he could have known from the stars he was on Gallifrey.
>>63172627
>all that is too much for even the Doctor.
Why? He's not human, he's a Time Lord, one of the most powerful species in the history of the universe and he's been all over the universe and time itself. I'm pretty sure it's not a stretch for a time traveling, intergalactic being to have a decent understanding of heavenly movements. That's literally what his character is all about. If you removed that element from him he'd just have quirks and get put in a nut ward.
>>63172627
He wouldn't have to know every planet, just basic galactic geography over a long enough period of time. It wouldn't be exact, it'd just be approximate. He even approximates in the episode, and we only see some of his approximations. There might have been dark periods where he just had no idea where he was- it shouldn't have affected his ability to find Room 12.
>>63172655
Every episode except Sleep No More has at least been enjoyable on a first viewing.
>>63172660
Yep. I think that's a major problem with moffat's run, he just can't or refuses to write consistently flawed and believeable characters.
>>63172582
Don't come here to peddle shit
>>63172672
>Time Lords don't know the entire spectrum of time for their own planet
GET OUT, HUMAN.
>>63172672
>given the type of teleporter I couldn't be more than one light year away from where I started
He arrived on gallifrey as a result of breaking through the thing
>>63172721
Bullshit
>>63172582
He was never written like that apart from Mars and just before his regeneration. The rest of his run weir meant to hero worship his smug aggrandizing behavior. The only real character arc he had apart from that was muh rose.
>>63172720
>>63172711
But galaxies don't last very long, relatively to the Doctor, stars burn out and are born so imagine every galaxy in the universe, at every time in the universe, he'd need to memorise every single one at the creation and death of every star, even a Timelord's life isn't long enough for that.
>>63172741
Wow, I'm only trying to, you know, generate discussion about the show. Jeez dude, I guess I should just stick to memeposting next time.
>>63172774
Not everyone is a crabby crandall like you anon
>>63172672
But the sky was Earth's sky, he thought he was within one light year of Earth and seeing the starts didn't change his mind, it just made him think he was in the future. And the fact that he was accurately able to determine how much time had passed based on the stars pretty much confirms he was right about the sky being Earth's sky even if the confession dial was on Gallifrey.
>>63172793
What?
>>63172747
>hey guys, I know we're not meant to interfere or change history but let's go on a field trip back to the beginning of our planet, but if one of you immature children even so much as breath on a rock the entire history of our existence and as such the existence of every planet in the universe will he changed
No, Time lords aren't meant to go to things like this, too much risk.
>>63172721
I agree.
>>63172774
I can MAYBE lump Zygon Invasion into the same category, but everything else was incredibly enjoyable all the way through on first viewing, and a lot of it feels very rewatchable (Heaven Sent, Inversion, Lake/Flood, and Girl Who died/Woman Who Lived especially).
>>63172721
If you're easily pleased then good for you but don't lump everyone else in with you.
>>63172767
The confession dial was on Gallifrey, he was in the confession dial, you're wrong.
>>63172818
You're trying to tell the other anon their opinion is wrong
>>63172780
THE. DOCTOR. IS. A. TIME. TRAVELER.
Holy shit. Why am I feeling the need to point out the entire premise of Doctor Who over and over again here? This is like bitching about the unrealistic nature of dinosaurs being in Jurassic Park and asking over and over again why there are dinosaurs in this movie.
>>63172611
It's literally impossible. Moffat is at the top of his game
>>63172880
I'm right though
>>63172780
Also remember he was in his confession dial. It's arguable that everything was positioned in such a way that he would know what to make of it. It was a prison designed for him, after all. Just another clue to distract him while the Veil approached.
>>63172836
Go to bed.
>>63172847
Most of it was shit, thank fuck for Heaven Sent
>>63172611
Because we haven't seen every episode yet and it's premature to make a judgement like that
>>63172849
Are you sure you like television, anon?
>>63172780
You're just being petty now. He's a time-traveling alien, remove the stick from your ass, please.
>>63172889
Bullshit
>>63172883
He's a time traveler, not an astronomer.
>>63172194
He comes from a race of aliens scientists with the technology to travel through space and time. He's also been around for thousands of years. A human with a piece of paper and a stopwatch can figure out local acceleration due to gravity. An ancient alien scientist could figure it out easy.
>>63172934
Nah
>>63172908
Name one episode aside from Sleep No More that was shit.
Again, Invasion was mediocre, but Inversion was a more than worthwhile pay off.
>>63172485

Fuck off name one anon
>>63172119
This was the most thrilling episode of Doctor Who since Caves of Androzani. Yes, I am talking about Classic Who. Say I'm wrong, I dare you.
>>63172972
First of all, live in the UK and literally never heard that expression, secondly bird was relative to the story he told the veil as he sharpened his beak on the diamond.
>>63172959
Yeah, it's called a near-death experience. Time slows down and shit.
>>63172874
So you think he was literally looking out of the top of the dial to see the sky? Then why couldn't he see the edges? The sky was a simulation inside the dial, retard, it didn't have to match Gallifrey's sky.
>>63173000
okay then, you are wrong.
>>63172983
>lives on earth
>can't name 1% of the species here
>>63172921
Love it when its smart and exciting hate it when its lazy and stale.
>>63172972
See, I thought of this OTHER enduring hit from 1963
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZThquH5t0ow
>>63173000
I agree. Caves was best of old Who, this was best of nu Who.
They belong together.
>>63172996
Because you literally don't actually believe any of the episodes were shit. Or if you do, you just don't like Doctor Who.
>>63172935
>not an astronomer
>The Doctor is not an astronomer
Have you ever WATCHED Doctor Who??
>>63172959
You realize even HUMANS can do this sort of shit and it happens in life or death situations LITERALLY ALL THE TIME, don't you? But oh no, a fucking god can't do something like that. That would be stronger than humans (which it isn't) and I'm a dumb pleb so nothing is better than.
God damn you people are insufferable. Not only do you not even know what HUMANS are capable of, you somehow assume that one of the most powerful beings ever in the history of the universe can't do simple fucking shit like estimate gravity. God damn.
>>63173037
Time Lords aren't humans. Humans are retards.
>>63173005
And it's also slang for time in prison, not my fault you don't talk to anyone irl
>>63173028
Do you disagree or are you just saying I'm wrong because I dared you to?
>>63172582
So that's why every fucking snowflake Doctor Who fan nowadays parrots shit like "I want to be the doctors companion but only one sociopath per tardis lol edgy" and derivatives.
Now I get it.
Moffat did the same with Sherlock
"I'm such an high functioning sociopath so special and unique but also secretly edgy".
Histrionic Betty Boops usually like that sort of shit.
Fucking Moffat.
>>63173051
>you literally don't actually
fucking hell
Your thinkings wobbly try again
>>63173089

>>63173070
the latter.
>>63172934
>Bullshit
maybe
>>63172721
Agreed. So glad this season heavily featured two-parters, it's exactly what the show needed.
>>63173172
In that case, glad you agree.
I don't get why Caves of Androzani is considered so magnificent, all it is is a phantom of the opera turns into a mole because he's fugly, builds robots and starts a war with the surface people, that doesn't seem too mould breaking, literally the plot of the Silurians.
What did you think of Rachel Talalay's directing job?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7TSMoXM0yg
She seems like such a nice lady
>>63172119
That episode. Fuck.
I was beginning to lose faith in the show, especially Moffat. Face the Raven was great. Heaven Sent was a completely different level. This was easily one of the best episodes in the entire show, on its entire 50+ year run. Killing the Doctor billions of times, the Bird, everything about it was so good.
Moffat's still got it. Talaylaylaylay proves to be a fantastic director yet again. Marigold actually did very well for the first time in a long while. And Capaldi knocked it out of the park.
Watch Hell Bent be shit.
>>63173272
great work
>>63173272
Why did the castle rotate again?
>>63173297
because clock symbolism
also because the castle rearranged itself to keep the Doctor looking
>>63173272
Someone post the music it plays at the end, music was the best it's ever been in this episode.

check out T. Bakes getting his salad tossed (with a moustache!)
So when's the next episode? Or was this season finale?
What secret was the doctor hiding that was so great he would rather punch a wall for 2 billion years than reveal it?
Surely it wasn't the fact that he was the hybrid, because he up and revealed it straight away once he got out
>>63173375
next week
>>63173079
Moffat didn't write that shit for 10 though.
>>63173375
Next week, just like every episode
>>63173370
salad tossed, I thought that meant something else.
>>63173236
I think it's a combination of the cliffhangers and the pacing - it really feels like an action movie in Doctor Who
>>63173383
if he revealed it in the confession dial they would have killed him I think
>>63173383
>inb4 "his name"
>>63172119
So was it a Weeping Angel that was trying to grab the Doctor? I stopped ten minutes in because it was boring as fuck.
>>63173387

Oh, I thought it would be TWD

Someone please for the love of God put 4th Doctor background music on this.
>>63172194
>not to mention he can slow down time like the flash now
The doctor is a genius from a race of geniuses. His mind just works that much faster
>>63173322
I loved that, when he was inspecting the painting, Marigold used some 80s Who-esque synth music. I smiled like a complete moron.
i actually bothered to remove the numbers
>>63173370

The best part about the titles Vortex is how it's so obviously stylised according to year. Just look at the 80s starfield lel.
so wait
there are only time lord rules for not changing "fixed" points in history so the Time Lords don't get wiped out right
objectively there is nothing wrong with changing history, if your own history doesn't get changed. I.e. screw everyone else
>>63173463
What was the significance of the Clara portrait? I never got that.
>>63173529
What does that even mean?
>>63172408
The theory's dumb but plausible on purpose m8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKGGLi6ubQ4

>>63173355
The arguments were just retarded.
>HURR DOCTOR WHO DUN KNOW NUFFIN BOUT NO TIME AND SPACE
I mean really?
>>63173550
Put in there to fuck with him psychologically. Like 12 said in the episode, they took stuff from his dreams and nightmares to torture him. That's what the Veil creature was based on.
>>63173541
I also like how the original guy bothered to make each one distinct, since some doctors shared the same titles.
>>63173511

8:50. It's very brief, but it's undeniably old who inspired.
>>63173553
It means take your fucking Ritalin and watch the damn episode
>>63173481
He probably spent most of his academy years fucking time bitches instead of studying.
>>63173605
Why would it be Clara? Why not Rose or Sarah or Susan?
>>63172119
That was a great fucking episode. There's been some lukewarm episodes this season, but some real hits. This episode knocked it out of the park.
That was a terrifying monster and it avoided jump scares. One actor holding an entire episode together is great. The final solution to the puzzle was so fucking great. Pretty much perfect.
>>63173463
>>63173612
I noticed that too, the first thing I thought when I heard it was classic who
>>63173596
0:50 - 1:05 is GOAT.
>>63173640
Clara just died m8.
>>63173666
There were a couple jump scares like when it burst through the door and came out of the grave
>>63173630
It's a boring episode. Why would I watch it?
>>63173640
Because Clara died and he couldn't stop it from happening
>>63173675
I like the one that starts at 1:18
>>63173640
Why would it be any of them? They are all in his past and he's moved on like he always does. Clara is his present. And she just died so the emotion is still raw.
>>63173706
You're a boring person, goodbye.
>>63173640
>being this thick
>>63173666
>it avoided jump scares
yea right m8
I hate the jump scares this season, I know it's coming anyway, so I just take off my headphones and put them back on after it
>>63173640
Is this bait? Im not sure if this is bait.
>>63173706
It's boring if you're a retard
>>63173719
>>63173666
jump scares are like editing. When there done right you don't even notice its there. Your just enjoying the story
>>63173640
Cause Clara is 12's companion and impossible girl who's close as fuck to that incarnation and the latest tragedy he blames himself
>>63172194
You don't necessarily need a complete view of the sky to calculate your position. Theoretically, you could calculate your position given only detailed data about a 0.1 by 0.1 degree area of the sky.
>>63173479
Still makes no fucking sense. How can he act and see faster than he thinks?
>>63173612
The "dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum zzuuuuuuuummmmm"?
>>63173666
there were a few jump scares, but they didn't feel cheap, especially because the Veil moves slowly.
I loved it.
>>63173640
Because Clara's death is fresh in his mind. She literally died seconds before they dragged him into the castle.
>Doctor dies 100 trillion times
>perfect clone everytime
>lived in his own will and testament for 2 billion years
this is the stupidest show on television, not even Torchwood got this bad.
btw faggots did any of you notice that The Masters Watch looks almost exactly like The Doctors Last Will and Testament?
>>63173735
>I hate the jumpscares this season
Literally what
>>63173755
It's nothing special though. He just talks to himself and cries over Clara.
Nothing happens, and the story doesn't advance at all.
Stop acting like it's something great. There is no point watching the whole thing.
>>63173640
Were you also confused when he kept talking to Clara throughout the episode? She's his best friend.
>>63173798
Literally nothing alike besides the generic gallifreyan circles
>>63173630
Stop replying to obvious bait you retarded fuck
>>63173596
5:27 on is the old Who part I was mentioning earlier.
Mates, i dropped DW after the flop season 8 was.
Is 9 worth it? Better? Worse?
>>63173853
If you hated S8 there's no hope for you desu
>>63173798
They weren't clones, they were literally him as he was at the end of FtR each time.
And its not like he aged 2 billion years.
>>63173596
Why was the picture of Clara so beaten though? It looks like his past billion incarnations wanked furiously to it.
>>63173517
It actually turned out good

I mean, there might have been a few fucked up clones with like a missing leg or something. It just wouldn't be relevant to the story as long as they eventually figured out they had to pull the lever.
>>63173878
because it had been there for thousands of years. He wasn't the first 12 through the teleporter.

>>63173901
It was part of the confession dial and as such, like the dial, the flower and the window reset itself.
Unless of course the Doctor drew it with his bodily fluids, then it wouldn't get reset as it would be part of him.d-did the Doctor draw it with his multicoloured timelord cum?
>>63173923
what?
>>63173782
Yes, I can tell that's exactly it from your post anon.
It's the repeating synthesizer part that's there for like 15 seconds.
>>63172194
>I mean really, knowing his exact locations from the stars, think about it, to do that accurately you'd need a 360° view from the planet
Wrong. Very wrong, you are very ignorant.
>>63172492
>that's impossible, even for the Doctor
It's literally all math
And you are also forgetting HE'S BEEN TO VARIOUS POINTS IN TIMES AND KNOWS WHERE THE STARS ARE ON TOP OF THIS
I hate stupid people like you opening their mouths, ugh.
>>63173915
that's not the issue, you clone a clone you're going to run into degradation.
>>63173980
It sounds more generic '80s than inspired by any actual old who music that was featured in the '80s.

The Doctor is now a woman if you haven't gotten to that part yet so watch s9 if you want to see the regeneration.
Season 9
>>63173853
S9 is great anon. Well worth watching.

>>63172672
It was Earth's sky. This is litterally one of the first things the Doctor says in the episode. The teleporter looked like something that could only teleport within 1 lightyear and so he uses that as the basis of all his calculations.
Matt Smith just died in a card accident.
>>63174004
But no. They're not genetic clones, they're molecule-for-molecule copies based on the information inside the teleport. As long as that data wasn't corrupted it wouldn't matter how many copies you made.
>>63174005
It's still a nice homage
>>63173915
>>63174004
>being wrong
First off the entire thing was a simulation, as in, not real, so there would be no wrong clones
Secondly, it wasn't a cloning machine, it was a teleporter that reset, so if it didn't fail the first time it never would because it reset.
>>63174004
>you clone a clone you're going to run into degradation.
He wasn't cloning a clone though you absolute spastic. The doctor wasn't imprinting his genetic code into the teleporter he was using the residual energy of his dying body to recharge the teleporter which still had the data of the last person who used it, The Doctor
>>63174046
fuck
turn on BBC, it's not a joke
>>63174038
I'm not the guy you're replying to anon, just loved your tumbleresc "ugh"
>>63173903
HE LITERALLY SAYS AND I QUOTE: "I can think at the speed of light." You can't "muh speed furce" your way out of Flash's own admissions of his abilities. Comics are just uberretarded, lazy tripe.

u dumb

>>63174077
>I'm not the guy you're replying to
maybe
>>63174004
The clone was used to power the teleporter to make a new Doctor from the original template. No clones were cloned,
>>63174044
I still don't get why he said what he said, the actual quote was:
>The equipment in that room is consistent with an augmented ultra long-range teleport.
Why would an "ultra long range teleport" only be able to teleport such a short distance? Surely the name implies it could teleport within an ultra long range?
>>63174102
But it's not saving a file 1000 times. The doctor's file is only saved once, and each new clone comes directly from it - every doctor clone comes from the exact same source, not a chain of degrading quality
>>63173831
literally exactly the same, The Doctor punched through a quartz crystal like what's used in a watch
>>63174102
u dippity
Capaldi was saved to the hard drive Once.
>>63174122
A light year is still pretty long
>>63174133
>>63174149
doesn't matter, the signal would have degraded
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_rot
>>63174161
Whoever named that device must have had some pretty short comprehension of teleportation.
>>63173853
this is tricky to put into words
Green Light - Magicians Apprentice/Witch's familiar
1 and 2 - good moments with Davros and Master, it does play around with lore. you might be anal about it
Orange Light - Under the lake/before the Flood
3 and 4 - enjoyable classic styled base under siege story with a twist, villains a bit underused though
Orange Light - The girl who died/The woman who lived
5 and 6 - tonials issues, they go from wacky to dramatic the first is average butt eh second is better
Green Light - Zygon Invasion/Inversion
7 and 8 - the Zygon story, a good thriller, its the invasion of the week formula but I liked it, I just dont bother with the political undertones. I just thought it was funny they went there.
Red Light - Sleep no more
9 - fucking awful, trying to be clever and break the 4th wall
Green Light - face the Raven
10 - The best departure for a companion for a new Who companion, so glad they resisted the typical bullshit
Green Light - Heaven Sent
11 - great, brilliant use of sci-fi trope, Classic Moffat returns
so overall worth a watch
>>63174122
Maybe one lightyear is the absolute limit of teleport technology. Also I'm still not sure if this is the same or a different thing from transmat.
>>63174074
I feel devastated right now. Goodnight, raggedy man.

>>63174173
Are you literally not reading what we're saying?
The room reset, that's why the window put itself back together, that's why the flower regrew the petals, nothing degraded because every day it was reset.
>>63174017
fucking sleep no more. In a proper linear regression we can ignore outliers. Otherwise series 2 would be the worst series of nuwho.
>>63174122
When he got to the castle, he only knew he could be within one light year of that alley he had been in. Long Rangish.
What he hadn't worked out yet was that he only went five feet and was then carried in a satchel to Gallifrey. Somehow.

Seen as we're so into the background music lately can you guys help me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCjm4KRjsIM
This clip, at 1:07 seconds in there's this "oooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooo" sound I really like, what's it called? I want to hear more.
>>63174122
gee, maybe that's the limit of teleport technology. Or maybe he named it that because, at the time, a light year was the farthest anyone could've been teleported. A light year is a long distance.
>>63174280
But that's exactly what he IS implyingit's wrong though, S6 was worse. S2 had Girl in the Fireplace, impossible planet and satan pit. S6 had Good Man Goes to War and... ?
>>63174263
>>63174261
I says it, if The Tardis can die then they haven't achieved perfect data storage
>>63174285
they have a limited number of read/write cycles before they fail
>>63174273
The Abzantium wasn't part of the prison, it was the gate at the front of the prison to stop people escaping the prison.
>>63174297
You're a funny idiot
>>63174190
Move face the raven into orange, and lake/flood and died/lived into green. I'd agree.
>>63174317
>The Tardis can die then they haven't achieved perfect data storage
The tardis isn't data though, that's incredibly faulty logic
>>63174325
that's headcanon nonsense
So are they gonna address how in Time of the Doctor, the Time Lords wanted to come back and just needed to know if this was the right universe, but suddenly now the story is trying to make it seem like the hybrid is both old, calling it a legend, and new, in that it's only getting addressed now and they're acting like it's a pressing matter, and the Time Lords and Davros are both fixated on it
>>63174316
How was that what I was implying?
Can you read?
>>63174316
I know that's what he's implying, I'm saying he shouldn't be implying it. Do you not get how this works?
>>63174341
no, it means that their hardware rots after a certain period of time.
>>63174347
Confirmed by Moffat.
>>63174317
You have to be shitposting.
No one is actually this stupid.
>>63174190
The indo-japan shit in Sleep No More served absolutely no fucking purpose for me, I hated it
>>63174317

Do you know that or are you just saying it?
>>63174404
Yes.
>>63174403
Nah, Lake/Flood is much more loved around here than Harness's two parter.
>>63174389

it's stated in the show, the Tardis died.
>>63174373
The Tardis is alive and everything dies.
The teleporter hard drive isn't
go away now
>>63174432
It's pretty mixed. Most people agree the ending of Inversion was the GOATest moment of this series before Heaven Sent blew it out of the water
zomg isn't this adorable?
wish i could get it on a T-shirt

good man goes to war is nothing to write home about
S6 had A Christmas Carol, The Impossible Astronaut 2 parter, The Doctor's Wife (even if you hate all the tumblrness it's still a good episode), The God Complex (probably 11's best episode). The Girl Who Waited was good. All the others were average (A Good Man Goes to War, The Wedding of River Song) to bad (Let's Kill Hitler, Night Terrors).

I see you're the typical comic audience. Why don't you go back and reread that Flash quote and ponder for a moment what's wrong with it (because it's not like I've already explained it in great detail or anything). But hey, at least I know how they get away with this retarded shit now.

Dude, skeletons don't last that long in salt water. 5 years maybe, depending on depth and animal/plant life.
I enjoyed it. But the plot was a bit of a mess. The confession dial was a bad plan by the antagonists as if the Doctor hadn't had the teleporter, all he would have done was die on the first loop without confessing.. It makes no sense.
>>63174562
>The Wedding of River Song

No, it's shit
>>63174592
nothing lasts 2 billion years, not even time lord tech
>>63174501

If you want to quibble about stuff lasting 2 billion years ask about the castle
>>63174671
why?
>>63174654
A literal 2 billion years never occoured, though. All that time was compressed.
Could have been a week. A month maybe, in outside-the-dial time.
>>63174613
He actually died. All of those deaths were real- the dial was real. It's similar to the Time Lord Matrix. I you die in the dial, you die for real.
>>63174654
Give one good reason why.
>>63174691
This. Nothing worse than someone who can't suspend disbelieve beyond what humans are capable of in this exact year. Sickening plebeian scum.

New thread when?
>>63174614
Ok, I don't feel very strongly about my opinion on that specific episode so whatever. All the bits before the scene on the train are fun, the Churchill conversation and what the Doctor was up to leading up to Lake Silencio have a good romp-y vibe.
>>63174716
When we hit the bump limit and we're on page 9.
>>63174710
tardis died
>>63174695
no one ever said time was compressed, he clearly popped out in the future
>>63174591
Speed force effects time and reality and it's where flashes powers come from, he has to be linked to the speed force for his powers to work. You haven't explained anything that I couldn't counter. Now Superman moving faster than the speed of light without speed Force is absurd.
>>63174613
They probably counted on him putting himself in a loop. Maybe they hoped he would break at some point when he realizes how many times he'd been through the cycle.
Why is the secret santa not posted anymore?
>>63174717
Only if your romps are like the romps of an Alzheimer's patient was that a romp, Moffat makes shit too confusing with no pay off.

if a phone beeps to exit you out of the call without ever making the 'boop boop' loop, does that mean the phone number is disconnected/off?
>>63174249
like breath on a mirror
>>63174693
The Abzantium was the exit. It was partially outside the dial.
The Doctor in general never reset. His skull was always there, as well as his clothes. Otherwise, when the rooms reset, he would've disappeared as well, or his clothes (the ones he was wearing) would have.
He traveled into the dial with them, it stands to reason that those are the things that cannot reset, as they were not part of the dial.
>>63174761
tripfags are ded
>>63174717
I'm with ya, Anon. I like the episode well enough on its' own merits, but its' masquerade as a reasonable ending to Series 6 is frankly offensive.
>>63174693
Because that's what they did. The castle reset every day and every time he made a confession as well or something. It's just how it worked, it was a closed energy loop that obeyed different laws because it was using dimensionally transcendental technology to exist inside a confession dial, like a miniscope or something.
>Every room resets. Remember I told you that? Every room reverts to its original condition. Logically, the teleporter should do the same.
>>63174741
the fuck?
no it doesn't, it shields the user from various entropic forces
>>63174761
because everyone is hype over heaven sent
Do I understand correctly that only the ocean, the skulls, room 12, and the painting stayed the same and everything else reset?
Lads this season hasn't really done it for me, but this episode was fucking amazing and probably the best episode of Dr Who I've ever seen (literally only seen nuwho and genesis). Are any classic episodes or Big Finish stuff this good or is it just an outlier?

I though she said get off on my arse.
>>63174743
This is the only explanation that makes sense to me. They counted on him looping himself but not punching through the wall and figured he'd eventually confess. It's still a sucky plan as it depended on him making the loop which for any number of reasons might not have happened. Then all they're left with is no confession and a dead Doctor.

Scherzo is similar to Heaven Sent and, IMO, as good
The Natural History of Fear is also a masterpiece
The Chimes of Midnight is extremely good, though I wouldn't say as good as Heaven Sent
Lucie Miller / To the Death is the best Doctor Who finale in any medium IMO (can't see Hell Bent beating it)

1 & 2 - alrite, not good, not bad, just your very average doctor who episode. The missy parts were good but I'm still totally butthurt about her being the master.
3 & 4 - shit tier, if you're going to do a ghost story do it well
5 & 6 - bland af, not insanely bad but why the fuck did the doctor rez her, he has seen tonnes of more important people die, he hasn't made immortals in the past.
7 & 8 - Fucking sucks, 7 was worse than 8 but not by much, the speech at the end was way too fucking long and constantly drilling the same shitty point, basically an alright story ruined by a political agenda. b-b-but anon they're only a splinter faction!
9 - We can agree on that, was a bloody disaster
10 - I think it was a pretty bad departure with how they handled the moment of her death, editing a thousand different camera angles with repeats, not a fan. The actual episode wasn't bad though, they just coudl have not fucked up the pinnacle of the episode
11 - Fucking awesome, best episode of the series by far, an actually original concept.
My opinions of Capaldi so far - Not that bad of a doctor but super overhyped, I want him to roam around by himself for a bit since he really shone last episode. I liked Clara but she got a bit annoying towards the end, ashildir or whatever her name is, that GoT immortal chick is fucking annoying though, as if she is recurring. Moffat needs to top himself though, that's for sure, just burn all of the writers.
