First for Hell Bent will bring about a new age of shitposting.
Moffat has something in store for us that's gonna make us interested at the very least.
Brace yourselves /who, it's only just begun.

Do you think they fucked inside the TARDIS set?
>[REDACTED] is very good in it with a very surprising destiny. And good hair.
Timelord Clara?
>As well as [REDACTED] there are other returnees too (you can see them in the picture gallery here) but mentioning them is not embargoed, because they’re clearly not considered similarly, “Oooooooh!”-worthy. Though one of them says a word that may have you going, “Oooooooh!” It begins with “B” and certainly makes someone close to the Doctor do a double-take.
... brother? Braxiatel? Borusa?Bors?

How should I answer this /who/?

Why's it always the showruiner who does the Christmas Special? It's not like they're usually momentously important in terms of ongoing story, so we could have any old writers doing them. Gareth Roberts Christmas episode could be fun for instance.
>>63199629
contracts probably
>>63199553
>The Doctor strums something on his guitar that he should never have heard.
The drumbeat in the Master's head?
>>63199600
The bad poosey
>>63199603
Clara and Ashildr there too and forbidden as well. The latter is with new haircut.
>>63199686
probably claras theme in the diner is my guess
>>63199686
>The drumbeat in the Master's head?
Clara's theme?
Sad song named Clara and all?

It's the Doctor Who theme

Did gallifrey always have that city on the top of the dome?
>>63199583
I'd give her cummies
>>63199450
This is the worst promo image yet and that's saying something.
>>63199757
Why the fuck wont Moffat let him write an episode, literally ignored his calls.
>I can't work without an audience
>quick glance at the camera
Did anyone else notice this in Heaven Sent?
>>63199450
Is that the robot from Big Guys 6?
>>63199833
Yes. At least in NuWho when it was shown in flashbacks.
Probably bigger on the inside.
>>63199543
Go to sleep Alex.
>>63199757
HOLY SHIT
Grant Morrison and Peter Capaldi are about the same age, (two years apart) were both born in Glasgow, played in local bands, did LSD and were Doctor Who fans..
Could they have met??!
>>63199860
no you are literally the only one
>>63199860
Woah you're so observant
>>63199841
>implying its worse than the motion blur promos of S2
>>63199875
That means heaven sent is not canon because it breaks the fourth wall
face the raven and hell bent are also non canon by default
>>63199858
I know rite?!?!
I think Gaiman even keeps pestering Moffat to have Grant write an episode.
Do eeet fer Scotlandh, Steven!
Fer Scotlandh!!!
this one is really bad
the perspective is just all wrong
Is the TARDIS the most OP "Vehicle" in fiction?
Cause I'm pretty sure a WarTARDIS or Dreadnought could annihilate most conventional universes.
No one should have that much power.

>we will always get shitty desert gallifrey, no alien flora or fauna ever
They still haven't shown him telling River his real name.
>>63199858
He's kind of a nutcase, believes in 'sigil magic' etc like alan moore. Might be difficult to work with.
>>63199968
>that heavenly Martha looking at the floor
a billion keks
post bad promos
why is river back, I thought we were done
>>63199944
The show and promos during the RTD era made it look like a low budget Sci-Fi series
>>63200025
Clara regenerates to look like River and has the Doctor's baby
>>63199956
Isn't that how Gallifrey naturally is though?
Same BS reason why their Sky is orange i.e. different form of Rayleigh scattering or something.
Plus the Capital city is probably the size of Jupiter from the inside or some shit. Time Lord Tech is always bigger on the inside.
Actually how insanely useful would Time Lord Tech be in Real Life day-to-day shit?
>TARDIS to go literally anywhere and anywhen in creation. Has more rooms and devices than you know what to do with.
>Sonic Screwdriver can interface with and "hack" almost any type of system.
>Pocket Spaces to store things like furniture or books.
It'd be great.
>>63200047
Well it kinda was, its amazing how much better it got durring the Moffat era, even with lower budget
>>63199985
He's a pretty chill guy. I think the show just depends too much on BBC in house writers due to them being reliable but generally unremarkable. Morrison already has several ideas he kept saved if he ever get the chance to do an episode,
>>63199985
Nah, Alan Moore is all about ceremonial magic.
Grant is about chaos magic, you know self-hypnosis type stuff.
Neither are actual nutcases.
Never heard anyone in the comics, video games or movie industry call him difficult. He's a surprisingly amicable guy for an eccentric.
Supposedly it's all practical stuff getting in the way of it happening.
I mean when Gaiman is in your corner it's going to happen eventually.
Effin Paul Cornell has written multiple episodes.
>>63200025
The Moffucking never ends anon, ever
>Every year, the 2nd last Doctor Who episode had a Cybermen
>there isn't this year, but there's one in the episode before it and one in the episode after it.
>>63200157
it's not enough that it's one of the worst episodes of all of doctor who, it has to have this shitty ass poster
>>63200016
>>63200120
These would look really good if they didn't add a fucking Sharpen effect
>>63200016
Who's the beached whale?
>>63200189
>Sontaran two parter
>one of the worst episodes of all of doctor who
Shit taste and opinion m8
>>63200089
Grant Morrison writing for Who immediately turns the series on its head.
Every other episode would be centered around some general concept as well as the multi-dimensional manifestation of said concept and idea.
He'd also create ruses so intricately crafted and intertwined with each other he'd make Moffat's head spin.
Under him, the Time Vortex, for example, would be retconned as the collective psychic projection of all sapient beings and their thought processes across all points in space and time.
The problem is - not every episode of Who needs to be that deep and drastic of an existential crisis.
Imagine if he were picked by Moffat to be the new Showrunner. And Moffat not returning his calls was a ruse to throw off suspicion.
>Inb4 Davros is reality's manifestation of the Doctor's xenophobic tendencies he repressed since childhood.
>Those tendencies which created Davros also compelled him to create the Daleks - a race of even more xenophobic purists.

>>63200246
To be honest Moffat and Grant are fairly similar in their love for mind bending concepts.
Blink, Listen and Heaven Sent are all very Morrison-esq.
Scottish dudes born the same year who probably had their first braingasm watching THE PRISONER.
Makes sense.
>>63200392
>threads of retards saying that was Amy, holding the leaf.
Why dont you roasties stay in tumblr?
>>63200420
You mean people thought Clara in the poster was Amy? Reminds me of when people thought this one scream towards the end of NOTD in the doctor's timestream was Capaldi even though it was clearly Matt and taken from an earlier part of the episode.
>>63200462
There was also the Time of the Doctor posters. Everyone said McGann was in the flames, when it was actually Capaldi's face.
>>63200420
Ahahaha you were the so buttfrustrated that was some hilarious trolling
>>63200541
Hello friend
>>63200366
That's true. It's one of the reasons why I love Moffat. The thing is if you try and shift the tone of Doctor Who to a more Metaphysical and Introspective journey then you experience burnout.
Moffat's wild ambitions are held in place by the stories of other writers. Moffat himself understands that you can't always up the stakes.
Morrison on hte other hand LIVES for this shit. At his core he's a man who wants to push the limits of conceptual ideas and stories to the absolute. This is why some of his stories are phenomenal.
However, I feel like Morrison would be the one writer who finally went too far regarding The Doctor. In his quest to create elaborate and truly mind-bending stories, Morrison would reshape the Doctor at his core.
He'd give more indications regarding the Doctor's past history and try to tie that into some overarching story which encompasses the entirety of all Space-Time.
He wouldn't just write a story with the Doctor - he'd write a story containing all 13 incarnations fighting against the representative of conceptual destruction at it's core in an attempt to save all of reality from impending Ontological Negation.
Hell, he'd bring back the Glory if he could.
>>63200541
oh shit I remember that
>>63200220
yep
Name one think you didn't like about every Doctor, if you absolutely can't leave it blank but try your hardest.
First - Arseholery, willingness to kill Caveman over NOTHING
Second -
Third -
Fourth - his episodes he couldn't give a fuck in.
Fifth - pacifism
Sixth - strangling his companions
Seventh - cartmel masterplan, trying to make him "far more than just another time lord".
Eighth - kissing companions and starting the most cancerous trend ever.
Ninth - flipping between jovial and last of my kind kill yourself, pick an emotion.
Tenth - pacifism again, but racked up a couple trillion notches, the mere sight of a gun causes him to listen to sound of silence on loop in the zero room for a week
Eleventh - Arm waggling, bow ties, acting like a child who's had too many colours.
Twelfth - dude scene, shit like that.
>>63200534
>Hitler himself was in the episode for not even two full minutes
>features prominently on the poster
>>63199543
She's disgusting, an insult to the doctor. He deserves much better.
>>63200647
That's one of the pics. Ha! The flame between the Doctor and Clara had people screaming it was McGann.
>>63200653
that was a terrible episode.
>>63200727
moffats worst
>>63200652
Fourth - Mugged for the camera whenever he got bored or didn't like the other actors, which was often
Fifth - THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER WAY
Sixth - A pompous asshole who never had the chance to mellow out
Seventh - Not a good actor and couldn't be taken seriously no matter how hard his stories tried
Eighth:
Ninth: Wasn't around long enough
Tenth: Painfully fake Britpop image, no subtlety to his acting
Eleventh: Too many catchphrases, too many "iconic" items. Felt like he was made to sell merchandise.
Twelth: He should regenerate next episode so he will go out on the highest possible note.
>>63200087
jesus the amount of chest on her in that pic "A kids show" my ass
>>63199450
When did the doctor get a new screwdriver? I feel really shitty for not watching the new season
>>63200652
leaves out war - good man
1 - fluffs his lines
2 - I cant see more of him
3 - martial arts are unconvincing
4 - performance in his last series is meh
5 - bland, and costume is a bit too silly
6 - shouts too much, settles down of course, crap coat (although it grows on you)
7 - starts off as 2 rip-off & dem question marks
8 - not the best at being really sad or really angry
W - special guest doctor
9 - none-doctory costume
10 - too angsty and also smug
11 - too wacky
12 - he's getting memey
>>63200921
He hasn't yet.
>>63200594
>>63200594
He'd pull it off. If he didn't, then they wouldn't film the script. Morrison can work within set boundaries when he has no other choice.
Honestly a Morrison script is a guarantee of another great episode a season, other than the obligatory one per season Moffat mindgasm.
And you know Morrison's WHO would be a "the better angels of our nature" sort of character.
Which I also love. Everybody Lives!
In my mind it's a "Vincent And The Doctor-tier", guest writer episode.
>>63200857
>Fourth - Mugged for the camera whenever he got bored or didn't like the other actors, which was often
What's the use of the phrase "mugged for the camera" in this context?
>Fifth - THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER WAY
Should have got Three for this as well, see the "an entirpeaceful civilisation, wiped out" at the end of Silurians
>>63200921
He gets it next week.
>>63200260
Last year I got Unnatural History from some lovely anon. All the Who books are near the end, and don't forget:don't spend too much, a simple book is fine.

NO
>>63200335
That fucking dress. ;_; ywn be under it
>>63200930
>leaves out war - good man
I reject your reality and substitute my own. The War Doctor was caused entirely by Eccleston being overly principled, the entire staff have changed since 2005, yet he still refused to return.
>>63200087
Fuck man that episode was GOAT. It reminded me of the Demon Headmaster and all those cool spooky kids shows. I want the Krillitane to return. They were one of the few Nuwho monsters that could be explored much further.
>>63200946
Meant that Tom Baker would overact and wouldn't acknowledge the camera more than the other actors.
>>63200173
There's been one in the 12th episode of every series since Moff took over.
>>63201012
He was doing Thor at the time
I really like Capaldi's Gothic Shalka/movie 8 Doctor but I absolutely despise his hoodie/guitar/dude/sunglasses bullshit, does anyone feel the same or am I maximum pleb?
>>63200120
>Rory's hands
>>63200534
I wish River had been played by the cute black girl the whole time.
>>63200857
>Name one think you didn't like about every Doctor
>doesn't actually name something he doesn't like about 12
Really anon?
>>63201077
He never goes to conventions or anything else, he's completely distanced himself from the franchise, I'm surprised they haven't just retconned him, I half expected War to regenerate into Tennant at the end of day of the Doctor.
>>63200984
Nobodies getting you shit
>>63201091
You're not alone. I like it though.
The sunglasses are guitar are done though tomorrow.
>>63201148
I did. I don't like how he'll be here long after he's overstayed his welcome. If anyone is going to stay on for 7 years again, it'll be him.

I wonder if they could've recast the 9th Doctor.
find an actor that's similar to Eccelston.
maybe a young actor, perhaps he could've grown a beard to disguise his face to suspend disbelief,
Then that actor could do BF and cement his place as the new 9.
is this stupid?
>>63201231
i mean saturday not tomorrow im retarded
>>63201091
The hoodie was fine for a few episodes, but I disliked how it was his go to costume this series. It felt like he was wearing his morning clothes
>>63201157
That's because He knows retarded Whovians are gonna ask him that one question.
Even the BBC knows that, the more they feature Ecceleston (in Commercials and Promotional shit) the more people are gonna wonder "Why did he leave?" Not even RTD said why he left
>>63201302
Listen to The Kingmaker, if they want to bring 9 back for BF, they've already got a close soundalike in Stephen Beckett.
>>63201091
I like it.
11 was an old man in a kid's body.
12 is a kid in an old man's body.
Some times he has to be (look like) the old man, but when he doesn't have to he reverts to his true PUNK ROCK self.
Hell Capaldi played in a band called "The Bastards from Hell" (Later The Dream Boys..) when he was young.
Rebel Timelord and all that.
Also makes him slightly mercurial that he switches, slightly bi-polar.
>>63201302
no one would accept a new actor
just too many shoes to fill
>>63201339
http://doctorwhogeneral.wikia.com/wiki/Why_did_Eccleston_leave_Doctor_Who%3F
>>63200938
The idea of Moffat and Morrison potentially co-writing an Episode (or entire Series) is making me feel conflicted. I want it, but I feel like no one else does.
>Series 10 starts with the Time Lords brought back into the universe.
>The Doctor has a rotating cast of companions, each with their own history and personal relation to him.
>After loosing Clara, The Doctor is too traumatized to fully commit to a single one. Hence why he cycles through them.
>Some generic evil presence is slowly unraveling The Doctor's Time Stream as a result of Gallifrey's freedom.
>This leads to an entire Series where the Doctor is constantly fighting Time Lord Victorious.
>Occasionally teams up with other Rogue Time Lords depending on the threat.
>As the Doctor's Time stream becomes more and more damaged, it slowly begins to throw his personal history out of sync.
>He has to travel through different points in his history to clean up the new enemies and disasters which are appearing at earlier points in his life, WITHOUT his earlier incarnations realizing what's going on, or seeing him.
>Things become more frantic as the Doctor tries harder and harder to keep his time line from falling apart.
>He snaps and Victorious assumes control.
>At this point, the episodes switch perspective, focusing on other rogue Time Lords.
>They all band together in a desperate attempt to continue to piece together the Time Line.
>They fight victorious at different parts of his own history, desperately trying to keep everything together.
>The Doctor eventually assumes control of himself again.
>The "mysterious presence" which caused the initial damage to begin with is revealed to be the Valeyard.
>After the Doctor received a new cycle of regenerations, and seeing the Doctor in a broken state due to Clara's death he formulated a plan to once again - steal his remaining regenerations.
>>63201339
He signed on for one series, that's all he has to say, then he moved on to other projects, the only reason people wonder why he left is because of how he dealt with it afterwards, for a good few years he refused to even talk about it and would walk out of interviews when asked, he caused this himself.
>>63201245
>two series
>only a handful of GOAT episodes
>should leave now
What?
>>63201302
People wont accept it, I think we still need to wait a couple decades before we get recasts of older doctors, unless technology have progressed to realer than life CGI.
The only thing that maybe could pass is Sean Pertwee as 3
>>63201376
Yeah that sounds like shit
>>63201341
I remember hearing Culshaws 4th Doctor, he does a great impression but I can usually tells its him.
I remember hearing 9 referenced but actual hearing him speak.
>>63201351
>"Gabba gabba hey, never come between a man and his fish fingers and custard! Fezzes are cool! Come along, ponds!"
>old man
Saying this over and over doesn't make it true.
>>63200157
>poor little timelord
>>63201444
The guy who plays Edward III sounds like 9. His name is Stephen Beckett. He even goes "Fantastic" once or twice, IIRC.
>>63201351
Eh, I suppose. Matt Smith acted like a kid a lot though.
I just want one Doctor who looks like he's fit in Victorian England, complete with movie 8's console room, he has far too many different styles and mannerisms at the moment, it's like he's playing a schizophrenia sufferer.
>>63201499
*Richard, not Edward.
>>63201351
>12 is a kid in an old man's body.
Not that anon but no, he's midlife crisis trying to relive youth.
The rock and guitar thing, the sunglasses, the hoody, Clara even saying something about him acting like a midlife crisis
>>63201376
I don't see either of them writing that.
And I don't see Grant getting a permanent position either.
But I do want him to write his ONE episode.
Like Gaiman did with "The Doctor's Wife".
Less said about "Nightmare In Silver"...
>>63201499
oh that guy, I get ya
I knew they referenced the 9th Doctor in it.
>>63201598
So sick of newho and their "midlife crisis" Doctor, every single Doctor post Sylvester has been midlife crisis Doctor.
>>63201662
i remember how hype people were for nightmare in silver
"GAIMAN IS GONNA SAVE THE CYBERMEN GUYS GET HYYPE" And then he ended up making them retarded OP nonsense that Moffat had to completely ignore for DW/DIH
>>63201446
Are you saying that old men don't like custard?
Or are you saying they don't wear hats and butterflies?
They don't fidget and clasp their hands?
They don't talk really loudly because their hearing is bad?
eh.. Maybe my grandfathers were weird.
>>63201302
>>63201341
>>63201499
Can't actors sue if you try and use actors, cgi or whatever to make someone look like them and use that commercially, something about stealing their image? Same with hiring soundalikes explicitly to sound like them? Or is that only in in the States?
>>63201737
I know right! Why does The Doctor need Character Development?
"I HOPE RIVER SONG SMASHES THE FUCKING SHADES.
" - Some autistic redditor that is butthurt about sonic sunglasses.
>>63201778
they've used 9 images after he left, Im sure agreed to it when he first started.
>>63201737
>>63201790
>>63201351
everyone is allowed their own interpretation of
the character
capaldi talked about that eccleston scene where he says he can feel everything during S9 interviews
i don't think its midlife crisis, i think he sensed something bad was going to happen to clara and was trying to enjoy his time more with her before it faded
>>63201842
But i was joking.....

I don't understand people's animosity towards the shades
Reminder
>I read Cucumber years ago for the simple reason that I was stuck on Doctor Who, really tired and having a miserable time rewriting someone’s script. And all I was doing covertly was saying, “Could you send me some good writing I haven’t read so I can remember what it’s like?”
What episode do you think it was?
>>63201940
It's not silly and quirky enough, If it was silly straw glasses they'd love it.
>>63201513
>it's like he's playing a schizophrenia sufferer
I kinda agree but...
He usually just acts differently because he has different moods, like we all do. Wouldn't you act different at a party as opposed to if your best friend died? Don't you act differently around your friends than around your grandparents?
HOWEVER, you are right just not about the Hoodie/Suit's representing different personalities (those are just moods). Capaldi does play it split personality, he often has episodes where he's written as speaking to himself, he even some times mimics previous regenerations like they are there trapped in the same body arguing. Mummy On The Orient Express, Listen and of course Heaven Sent.
>>63201940
They make more sense than staring at metal stick and announcing what it scanned to advance the plot
>>63201940
Along with what the screwdriver does the have shown to actually have more practical uses. Like a video feed and then the shit they did in face the raven with the streets thing. I bet if they weren't sunglasses and just normal glasses like the tenth doctor would wear, reddit would LOVE them. "Haha he is being like le tenth doctor wearing glasses he doesn't need lol so funny callback to best doctor"
>>63201836
He would be getting paid and credited for those instances, using other actors and makeup/cgi to give the pretense it's him, is where it gets into he can sue you territory
I always wanted to write a fic series where the Valeyard keeps showing up to classic series doctors (or, at least, 6, 7, 8, and war) and each time he has a different explanation for his back story, but each one is basically the plot of a nuwho story with "and then I traveled back to steal my own regenerations". Like, "In a fit of pique, I cast my regeneration energy into my own severed hand, thus creating a metacrisis offshot of myself, contaminated with human biodata. In this form, now, I am unable to regenerate, and having lost the one precious thing I was willing to live forward, I've come back to steal my past regenerations muahaha," or "A future version of you was trapped on a tiny, insignificant world for centuries, and in an attempt to escape you tried to manifest a psychic projection of an abortive future regeneration into reality in order to aid yourself. Unfortunately for you, that psychic projection was the very malevolence inside us, the snickering voice that whispered to you in your dreams, and thus I was brought into physical being," stuff like that.
>>63201929
Yeah man why can't he just wear a rainbow coat and some sellery with a long ass scarf.
Why he gotsta be eccentric and wacky?
>>63201986
>>63202007
>>63201980
They have been quite resourceful with them so far so I applaud them on that front. Still think they should be used sparingly because Capaldi's eyes are one of his most expressive acting tools
>>63201980
>>63201940
Why are Fezes allowed but Shades aren't? I can understand not liking both but reddit lapped the fuck out of the fez and other bullshit. RIP Sunnies. I'm gonna kind of miss them.
>>63202047
but it also give an opportunity to angrily rip them off
>>63201929
I never said that was character development
>>63202052
Fezzes and bowties suck but shades are cool.
>>63202047
They are used quite sparingly. Usually like once an episode iirc, as soon as this new screwdriver comes though, the doctor is going to be back to scanning everything to fill his fucking pokedex and waving it around so they can sell the fucking toys. River coming back and the magic wand, Might as well just get Matt smith back.
>>63202052
Because they're too common and basic. The people who hate them prefer shit that "random" and "silly". These are the people who thought Capaldi would be using a spoon to fight enemies for more episodes.
>>63202052
It's because Capaldi looks older.
>>63202052
Because its not a "Sonic Fez" or a "Sonic Bowtie"
>>63201976
It's not Moffat or Gatiss, since they had both run shows in the past and thus were immune to geting ReTarDed, so I would guess... Matt Jones, since The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit is the only time he wrote for Doctor Who, and I've heard several times that it's basically a last minute ground-up rewrite by Davies.
this one was my favorite
>"I'm loosing more and more hope that the sonic sunglasses are a little gag. Seriously, they're such a stupid concept, and devastate decades of doctor who history."
>devastate decades of doctor who history
lmao wtf
>>63202107
Luckily Capaldi actually uses his screwdriver at a minimum compared to Smith.
>>63202137
Oh sorry I forgot to add contex.
That's a Moffat quote. He said he read RTD's cucumber script to cheer him up.
>>63202158
Yeah with Smiths old screwdriver. They have a new one now, Mark my words, that fucking things is going to get at least 60% screen time each episode.
What other gadget would be cool to give 12?
>inb4 guitar
no, something useful.
I think he should use the invisiwatch from The Caretaker more
>>63202173
If he beats River to death with it, i'm for them.
>>63202158
its been used really well except for maybe flatline although that wasn't even that bad imo.
>>63202173
i hope not. we'll see what happens I guess.
>>63202165
I dunno what Moffat's actual rewriting duties are like compared to Davies, but let's assume... eh... Thompson, that guy does a lot of "basic foundations that Moffat then has to come and build on" stuff.
>>63202173
I trust Capaldi. No need to give into fear.
while talking about screwdrivers one of my favorite little gags with capaldi was he was tinkering with something and he was using the sonic and then stopped using it and just switched to a normal screw driver
>>63202200
He'llfuck River with it
>>63202220
that happened? i dont even remember that
A shame Capaldi never got to make phallic jokes to Clara with his screwdriver
>>63202273
Yup, let me try and find the episode
>>63202296
Don't worry, Moffat's saved all of them for the Christmas episode
>>63202303
im probably the biggest capaldi arse licker here and i don't remember that at all
>>63202322
with disgusting af River so i don't care
What did Capaldi mean by this during S8 interviews when he was asked why he didn't have a new sonic?
>Well I think we should side step the marketing opportunities. I don’t think we should be too focused in that direction"
Did he mean so parents wouldn't have to buy their kids a new one?
/who/ has seen Peter Jackson's Home Invasion video, right? It's on his facebook page, can't post the direct link because of spam filters, but here's everything after .com:
/PeterJacksonNZ/videos/10153602968491558/
>>63202384
yes
>>63202296
That time Clara hit him in the balls with the screwdriver was so fucking hot, I wish Clara would hit me in the balls.
>>63202355
Yeah, also why he tried to have a simpler outfit.
>>63202355
Probably just like "we shouldn't make it so everything is with the purpose of selling toys"
Did we get a radio times picture for Heaven Sent?

Because that would give too much away
>>63202330
>>63202273
It was in Listen at about 22 minutes in.
Heaven sent was the best episode since Genesis.
>>63202776
Heaven Sent was the best episode since An Unearthly Child.

God yes, I want Clara to degrade me
>>63202776
>>63202795
Best non-multi-Doctor episode since Battlefield?
>>63202798
On my file it happened at 22:15, but I just said it definitely happens in between minutes 22 and 23.
Just watched the last episode. Definitely one of Capaldis best. My sister is a tennantfag and hated it, so I know its objectively good
>>63202849
just saw it
pretty funny
never noticed before
thanks anon
>>63202864
The subtle moments are the best moments. Like The Capaldick in Deep breath
In my opinion.
OPINION.
Not saying this is fact
OPINION
Not saying you should feel like I do
In my opinion this is up there with Blink, Midnight, Listen and Vincent And The Doctor. Which are my favourite episodes.
>>63202926
>>63202854
in my opinion its the best nuwho episode
moffat shat out gold
>>63202961
No Moffat shat out gold with Empty Child and Blink. This time Moffat shat out pure PLATINUM
>>63202926
I really have no idea why blinks considered such a masterpiece, I feel like I missed some massive dimension, people get transported back to the past and if they're lucky they see them one last time before they die, it's okay but not absolutely incredible.
I mean, maybe if they had "angel hunters" that specifically seemed out angels so they could go back in time to live with their eternal love it could be an interesting dynamic but as it stands it wasn't too cracking.
>>63200106
At least he has written some Doctor Who comics.
>>63202906
I remember thinking that was a joke until I rewatched the scene. Its so obvious Capaldis dick is hard as shit.
>>63202854
Im a tennatfag(slowly converting) and I loved the fucking episode fucking GOAT material right there
>>63202961
*Puts paper bag on head again*

(I agree)
>>63199543
My mom looks way better for that age, OP, desu.
Late anon arrives th the hread. I'm sorry.
>>63203005
IIRC Moffat thought it was going to be seen as a dumb filler episode when he wrote it and was surprised by the huge love.
>>63202995
Well, not just Moffat, it's the pentagram of talent between him, Talalay, Marigold, editor dude (sorry editor dude, forgot your name) and the Capaldick. I couldn't see any of the other Doctors pulling off stuff like the "I've been here for a very, very long time" moment.
>>63203054
you can't say something like that and not post a pic anon
lets go.
>>63202961
In my opinion and this is an actually controversial opinions that was the greatest Doctor who related thing, ever. It perfectly epitomised exactly what Doctor who is about and what it should be.
>>63203017
>Capaldi chose his own costume
>JUST tighten my pants up
>>63203082
I agree. Even stuff like "Personally I think that's a hell of a bird" was delivered extremely well. Just try to imagine that line with Smith or something. It just sounds weird.
>>63199543
She's fucking ugly tho
>>63203054
Pics of mom or fuck off
>>63199450
>River Song
The fucking reason I stopped watching this show.
>>63203005
It's the scene with the video talking to Sally Sparrow that gets people. It's fucking ingenious.
ALSO
The Angels are some pretty great monsters. The way they are defeated is clever and the end montage that inspires a bit of paranoia is good.. and the bootstrap paradox with Sally giving The Doctor the transcripts is interesting. And the fact that it was so different, it being a doctor lite episode.
But I understand.. I never got why people rave about The Empty child.
>>63202995
I like you.

I am completely won over, 12 is the best there has ever been.

i dont understand why they have "general disdain" and "general praise" threads for every episode. it just creates an echochamber and no ones thoughts can be challenged or argued. if you try and argue with someone in there a mod steps in and is all like "well this is the general disdain thread". there is a rate thread where you can discuss but still.
>>63203082
Talalay fucking hit it out of the park. This episode looked fucking incredible. The atmosphere and the mood was also just so fucking perfect. You got swallowed UP!
And yes Capaldi, what more can be said... Best actor to ever portray The Doctor.
Editor? Hell yeah! The montage at the end. 11/10

But when the Time Lord’s help is requested he finds himself recruited into River Song’s squad and hurled into a fast and frantic chase across the galaxy!

Sounds retarded af tbqh senpai.
>>63203554
Alright thanks anon.
Wait so, how come the crystal wall room didn't reset? Shouldn't it have reset and undone all the work the previous doctors did to it?
>>63203690
might be some good moments of 12 actively avoiding anything that oculd give him away as the doctor since he clearly doesn't feel anything towards river anymore
>>63203684
>https://twitter.com/bbcdoctorwho/status/671480119232475137

11 is the only doctor that actively acted as her husband
The others just met her but don't have those feelings about her
>>63203726
Were over this anon, lurk more and move along
>>63203744
I doubt that's what it means. Moffat and Capaldi said she's flirting and kissing others and there's a 'Mr. Song' in one of her BFAs.
>>63203130
You are a cool guy. And your opinion is cool. We should hang out like Shaq and Gates.
>>63203726
the rooms resetting were just room service as the doctor said, the doctor was doing permanent damage to the diamond wall, a new window can be replaced but that wall, nope.
>>63203777
don't be so sure anon
Why doesn't the really really hard wall ever reset?
>>63203130
Doctor who should be about the ramifications of teleportation killing the original source?

10 didn't even know who she was
>>63200652
1. Too feeble sometimes. It felt like the companions were the lead.
2. Wasn't too fond of his running away
3. Overbearing
4. whenever he was a supreme ass
5.Guy was a bit bland
6. Self absorbed and pompous
7. I couldn't take him serious
8. He was never given much of a chance
9. A lot of anger and treated Mickey like shit
10. Huge Ego
11. Way to wacky and never could pull off anger.
12. He marred by some inconsistent writing
This was harder than I thought it was going to be.
>>63203818
>making excuses
How come the whole castle didn't crumble away from friction since the rooms were switched a popgarabazilion times?
>>63203838
No, it should be about the Doctor finding a way around his problems even if it is harder to face, even if it is longer and excruciating, even though it would be so easy just to give in he choose not to, he thought of a way to do it and had to think of it and come to terms with it one hundred and four billion times.
>>63203744
>10
>marrying River
No
>>63203897
Because it was designed to do that, and I will say if you can design a fucking rotating castle like that I am sure you're are good enough to make it stay together.
>>63203884
10 spent a whole year AWOL, it's not impossible to think he met river again in some undocumented story
>>63203726
The "sphere" of resetting or whatever has to end somewhere. That somewhere would presumably be the end of the "prison". The wall was the end of the prison, hence breaking out through it.. The shell would not reset, if it did it would not be a shell..
That's how I read it.. I can see how some might be annoyed by it. I however find it completely acceptable whether I have to fanwank it or just go with it in a poetic/metaphorical way.
>>63203880
So the Doctor never married River or learned his name? She married the Tesselecta in the S6 finale after all, and he didn't whisper his name then, just told her to look in the robot's eye.
>>63204013
nothing is actual until it's in the show
>>63204022
This is wrong.
>>63203726
The Abzantium wasn't actually part of the structure, it was a stopper.
Imagine the confession dial as a bottle, the castle is the wine and the Abzantium is the cork, the wine resets every day but neither the bottle nor the cork do.
>>63203988
You do realize what friction is right? And what friction would do to something over 2 billion years?
>>63204026
>just told her to look in the robot's eye
But in the name of the doctor she whispers his name and makes the tardis open.
>>63204103
You're just looking for reasons to go "PLOTHOLE MOFFAT YOU FUCKING HACK" over a great episode just so you can feel superior.
I think River and 12 will work well in the Xmas special. I think it will be fun

So Capaldick is gonna go from having a great Christmas special to a god awful one?
>>63204137
I think it will be shit and they look terrible together. I'm only watching for Capaldi.
>>63203726
Several things didn't reset. The Doctor's clothes were drying where he left them, the skulls didn't reset at all, and "Bird" only reset because that door let in a gust of wind. It can also be assumed that the other clues (The shovel, Clara's portrait, the weird dirt patch, "I am in 12") were set in place by previous Doctors, and remained over time.
>>63204163
Yep. Just like Matt Smith.
It is literally impossible to have a doctor who episode without plotholes. Pointing them out is equally retarded to trying to explain them. Just stick to pointing out major plot holes that ruin everything like Orson Pink.
>>63204166
That's how most of this season was.
>>63204215
who looks terrible with capaldi?
>>63204215
Nah. River makes everything 1000 times worse.
>>63203838
Sure. We could call it regeneration.
If you want to think about it in away that helps.. The Doctor used his own body/energy/lifeforce to generate the new clones. Matter is made from energy. (Splitting the atom). The Doctor was simply taking his remaining energy and re-assembling it back into his own atoms. The blue-print.. in the teleporter.
Same plastic remoulded.

>>63204203
Right? The fuck was up with Orson Pink?
The only way he can exist is if he isn't Clara's descendant at all, and Danny had a side hoe we never saw or heard about.
Guys the doctors grave is on trenzalore, even though that ended up not happening wtf it isn't like time can be re written fucking awful show.
>>63204278
Or they changed the future..
>>63204278
There's more ways than that. Moffat came up with one, bit you could also say he was rewritten. It's really not a 'plot hole' though. It's a loose thread.
WAHHHHHH MY SHOW ABOUT TIME TRAVEL HAS TIME TRAVEL ELEMENTS AND CONSEQUENCES WAHHHHHHHHH
>>63204278
Seems like Moffat had a different plan for the main characters and he changed his mind mid-season, not caring what that would fuck up.
Maybe he will try to patch it in a future episode with some shitty writing, maybe not.
>>63204189
Matt had a Christmas episode with River?Carole was GOAT, I remember that much.
>>63204342
Who are you responding to?
>>63204342
WAAAAAAAH THERE ARE FAGGOTS THAT EXPECT INTERNAL CONSISTENCY AND THAT TRIGGERS ME WAAAAAAAAAAH
>>63204299
His grave might still be on Trenzalore. Just because he doesn't die there as 11 doesn't mean he NEVER dies there. It just means Clara has a bit more of his timeline to leave her weird ghost echos in.
I wonder if we'll ever see one of those again.
>>63204256
Indeed she does.
>>63200652
One -- Being crotchety is cool, but there is such a thing as too much.
Two -- Seems far too proper despite his "cosmic hobo" concept.
Three -- Bessie, Whomobile, general "Batman with Austin Powers fashion sense"-ness.
Four -- Kinda creepy overall, and Baker obviously stopped giving a shit sometimes.
Five -- Too nice, which made it even weirder when he tried to be clever or cutting.
Six -- Strangling his companions.
Seven -- Season 24.
Eight -- "HALF-HUMAN ON MY MOTHER'S SIDE"
Nine -- Forced to share the screen with farting aliens.
Ten -- I'm down with the Doctor crying occasionally, but holy shit, turn the faucet off once in a while.
Eleven -- Sounds like he's trying TOO hard to be angry.
Twelve -- In the Forest of the Night exists
>>63204163
No, poopface, Matt went from a great Christmas special to a god awful one. A Christmas Carol was great, the Doctor Widow Wardrobe one was god awful.
>>63204103
He literally says it's some sort of energy loop. The castle itself resets. It somehow gives no fucks when it comes to entropy.. Not that weird since the whole show HINGES on timetravel!!!
>>63204384

>>63204071
After Ten met River in the library, he took her to see some fancy thing as her last real date with him. River mentions this just before she dies. She's met Ten before the library. That was just the first time he met her.
>>63204449
I pick Steins;Gate.
There, time travel with no plotholes.
Best hobbit ever
>>63204353
No, but he did have Wardrobe, and that was fucking awful.
>>63204488
That wasn't with 10, we don't know which one did that yet. Probably 12 in this Xmas ep based on the teasers.
>>63204278
Time can be rewritten.
Presumably, it can be rewritten even after you've read it, just with awful consequences.
>>63204446
Then why doesn't the diamond wall reset?
Surely it's part of the castle.
>>63204488
Yeah, okay, but what about after the Library and before he regenerates? She never said it was her first time meeting 10. In fact, she is under the impression that he recognizes her, which would be a weird assumption to make if she never interacted with a 10 that knew her.
>>63204513
ok then go fuck off to /a/
Why are you here?
>>63204542
Actually the last date was with 11. It was on a short little special episode that was on one of the DVDs, if those are canon.
>>63204542
>The last time I saw you, the real you, the future you, I mean, you turned up on my doorstep, with a new haircut and a suit. You took me to Darillium to see the Singing Towers. What a night that was. The Towers sang, and you cried.
12 doesn't wear a suit.
>You even gave me your screwdriver.
12 doesn't have a screwdriver, and sure as fuck doesn't use one that looks remotely like the one River's got in that story, which is clearly a modified version of 10's.
She's able to recognize 10 on sight. She's seen 10 before. Silence in the Library is the first time 10's met River, but not the other way around.
>>63204580
Moffat said that the 'picnic at Asgard' thing happened with 10. Off screen so it's as canon as you want it to be. Personally this whole thing bores me, I wish River would just stay gone. Her schtick got stale very quickly.
>>63204614
I watched anime for the first time 3 years after my first doctor who episode, 7 years ago.

>implying they wouldn't be hyping McGann already.
>>63204691
>which is clearly a modified version of 10's.
Gee, you think that's maybe because that was the current screwdriver at the time and the production team can't actually see into the future and know what the future sonic screwdrivers will look like?
It wasn't with 10, it happened like >>63204635 said but they might ignore that. Also 12 does wear a suit sometimes, he did inummy, and one of the Xmas promo images has him back in a suit.
>>63204716
Time travel does not have to be consistent with YOUR rules of time travel, but with it's own established rules. Steins;Gate does not break a single one of it's rules. Doctor Who literally breaks all of them.
>>63204716
Time travel without plotholes is doable, it's just fucking boring because all you can do is go into the future.
>>63204691
>12 doesn't wear a suit.

N-No way, desu.
Is Doctor Who even worth watching anymore? I loved it as a kid and was entertained up until Matt Smith, but I only liked some of the Matt Smith episodes and the first couple Peter Capaldi ones were absolute shit in my opinion.
Is it worth trying to get into again?

Honestly no one can say for sure but Moffat.
As far as I'm concerned the "area of reset" has to end somewhere. The entire universe doesn't reset obviously. Since the wall was the edge/end of the "prison" it makes sense that it would not reset. Maybe it was even the shell holding the whole reset-sphere together.
isn't it just implied in the minisode? is it actually confirmed? i havent seen it in years.

watch heaven sent at least

Steins;Gate establishes rules of time travel early and stays within them entirely for the duration of the series. This is difficult to do and rarely accomplished, Who has flubbed around it to the point where they don't care anymore (as they shouldn't, you can't run 50 years and do what a 24 episode series does). But he is correct. I always point to Steins;Gate as the example of time travel done right.

Surely it wasn't. The only things that wouldn't reset were things foreign to the castle. His skulls, his clothes, since we know the wall didn't reset it stands to reason that wall wasn't part of the closed energy loop.
>>63204886
Yes. The last episode was bloody outstanding, top 10 of all Who
>>63203175
Oh, so that's wy I felt like he was way better this time. He actually was.
I mean, not that I think he's doing a weak job, but this episode he really shone.
>>63204820
But Doctor Who has no rules for time travel. Only the Time Lords have actual rules, which they can break with unforeseen consequences.

Didn't know that.

Just start again with Face the Raven, all you need to know is
A) there's a legend about a hybrid that everyone's freaking out over
B) the Doctor accidentaly made Maisie Williams immortal

Mean to reply to >>63204806
>>63204886
A) Your taste is terrible.
B) Capaldi's like Eccleston. His best episodes are AMAZING, almost unbeatable. His bad episodes are AWFUL. Fortunately, he got more than one season, so he's had more than his share of great ones.

I only watched his first two episodes and disliked the feel of them immensely, so I don't think I have seen his best episodes yet (I would hope.)
>>63205005
>>63204904
If heaven sent and Face the Raven are good I will try and watch it again then, are there any other essential episodes?
>>63205185
>are there any other essential episodes?
Listen
Daily reminder the Southern were originally absolutely badass but had to be needed due to it being a children's show
>alright, so these aliens invade earth and hide amongst the population as important people, politicians, generals, etcetera
>how the fuck would they do that? To do that they'd need to look and talk exactly like current important people
>they wear their fucking skin
>holy shit, you can't do that, it's a show for 3 year olds
>nah add some fart sounds it'll be chill
>>63204806
Ah, but you see young scholar... Doctor Who is constantly consistent in it's inconsistency. Which makes it the most consistent thing there is. Doctor Who cannot be inconsistent. Because Doctor Who has no laws of time travel. None that haven't been broken before.
Steins;Gate however breaks multiple of it's own rules but then follows then suddenly follows them after the fact. Google Stains;Gate and plotholes see for yourself.
As far as I can remember only PRIMER is perfect..but I could be wrong.

>the slitheen were originally absolutely badass but had to be nerfed due to it being a children's show
Fucking autocorrect
>>63204920
>stays within them entirely for the duration of the series
No it doesn't, google it.
PRIMER is a better example. But I could have missed an inconsistency in PRIMER....

Whoever they ware, they put the genie into the bottle. The wall was the end of the bottle. That's why it didn't regenerate.
It's Timelord technology.
>>63205263
If they were Zygons everybody would have loved the two-parter. The emotional core is great and the actual plot is clever

Jamie Mathieson's two from S8 are good, Mummy on the Orient Express and Flatline (which introduces a side character who turns up again in Raven, probably should have mentioned)
>>63205185
You definitely haven't seen his best yet. Deep Breath ultimately falls flat just by being too damn long. It could use a trim.
I think Into the Dalek is AMAZING ("I see into your soul, Doctor! I see beauty! I see divinity! I see...HATRED!!"), but I also thought The Beast Below was AMAZING, so I'm kind of a weirdo.
It's generally accepted that series 8's best episodes are Listen, Mummy on the Orient Express, and Flatline.
Time Heist is also popular, but somewhat controversial, as it's a bit on the silly side.
Robot of Sherwood, Kill the Moon, and In The Forest of the Night are all garbage.
Dark Water is great, but it's part 1 of the two-part finale, and Death In Heaven is a weak follow-up. Necessary for the overall series plotline, but weak.
Last Christmas is must-see.
Series 9: Magician's Apprentice/Witch's Familiar is trash except for one particular scene with Davros.
Under the Lake/Before the Flood has a very strong part 1 but slightly weaker part 2.
The Girl Who Died is okay at best. The Woman Who Lived is shit.
Zygon Invasion/Zygon Inversion was good, but became WAY too real after the Paris attacks.
Sleep No More is gimmicky and skippable. Fun ideas, shoddy execution.
Face the Raven is the most heartbreaking companion departure in all of NuWho.
Heaven Sent might be better than Blink.
