10 had the best run of nuwho and there's nothing you can say or do about it Edition
Last time >>63572234
Confession thread.
What's your confession, /who/?
>>63584984
I've never seen this show.
>>63585003
Good.
>>63584984
I've pirated some Big Finish stuff.
>>63585003
You're lucky then, it's shit
>>63584984
I claim to like this show to sound cool and get nerd chicks but ive only seen seasons 1 and 2, a bit of three, maybe 5 episodes of smith and about 60% of capaldis run
>>63585003
Don't bother.
>>63584955
I agree only because Eccles wasn't involved and Moffat only had limit story time
>>63585063
>seasons
>being this retarded
>>63585078
but eccleston was GOAT...
>>63585063
did you actually enjoy anything you watched?
just got this familia... is it good?
>>63585146
Why did they fuck up Tennant's face?
>>63584955
>10 had the best run of nuwho
5 years and almost all of his episodes are shit
>>63585146
its ok
>>63585146
if it has anything to do with tennant, i can guarantee you it's not good
Fucking eBay just made me choke on my tea
>>63584984
At this point I'm mostly just watching the show out of habit and to have something to watch and discuss on Saturdays.I haven't been properly entertained since series 4 and don't even bother to rewatch any of Matt or Capaldi's episodes
>>63585244
>properly entertained
>>63584984
Tennent had some good episodes.
I would rail Donna.
>>63585261
Nothing since Turn Left has pulled me in and kept my attention or kept me as entertained. Not even all of the alleged GOAT episodes from Matt or Capaldi's run, including that Van Gogh episode and Heaven Sent
>>63585375
>One episode
>>63585412
Not calling the episode perfect, it's not even in my top favorites, but that episode was the last time I felt the things I just described by a nuwho episode
>>63585177
>>63585197
Epic.
Will series 8 ever get a cover that matches these?
>>63584984
I want the gay glasses cunt to come back because he made an exciting show.
>>63585509
>Wrong Logo
Maybe in a few years
Will we ever get another qt like Jenna fåm?
>>63585543
nope
>>63585137
Yeah, I really like Eccleston and Capaldi as actors and doctors.
I hate Smith and its a shame because I loved the stories.
I just cant stand the Rose/10 romance shit and I dont like the overall atmosphere of the first seasons.
I want to see the whole Capaldi era, he is brilliant. I have yet to see the forrest episode, the finale, and season 9's last 6 episodes.
Overall I think the concept is awesome but Im not a big fan of how they execute it. I checked out some classic who serials and I loved them, but its hard to get the spanish subs for them.
>>63585495its true though
>>63585543
I asked the same question when Amy left.
I ended up getting Jenna.
Maybe it'll happen again.
>>63585528
Matt Smith?
>>63585543
>I'm just one person
>she still asks me to queue
Bitch.
>>63585579No it isn't, Moffat
>>63585630
Did you shop his nose?
It's normally lower.
>>63585630
>used to fuck Daisy Lowe on the daily
>gay
He's a faggot, it's different.
>>63585569
Forest episode is bad and has no arc relevant things in them. You can safely skip it if you want. You should watch the finale and last 6 episodes of S9 though.
>>63585662
Nope. Untouched.
>>63585630
He literally fingered a hot chick in public. Was called out for being a ventriloquist.
Smith lives for pussy.
And apparently his dick is huge if that one leak was real.
>>63585630
He was first in line for purpleman but declined the role because he agreed with him.
>>63585543
>>63585566
>>63585585
Will Peter get another QT? I think we all know the real reason he doesn't want a male companion.
>>63585927
I've fapped to the thought of him dicking Jenna and my dick's getting hard again to the same thought.
>>63585964
Her tits aren't actually that perky. That dress and probable bra is some kind of sorcery.
Not that I dislike her pancakes. Her ass makes up for them and her tits would look perfectly fine while she's lying down.
>>63585976
We all have anon.
>>63585569
Heaven Sent is godtier but keep lower expectations with Hell Bent. It's really just a farewell to Jenna. Don't expect Valeyard or even a threatening Rassilon.
>>63586045
I haven't.I'm not that attracted to Jenna or into old men having sex
>>63586081
Reminder that Sumpter Rassilon isn't canon, and that as soon as the real Rassilon comes back, he'll gauntlet de-mat Sumpter and it'll be like he never existed
>>63584984
One of my favourite episodes is Time Crash. I don't even know if it's canon.
>>63585976
you just KNOW
>>63586094
get a load of this guy
>>63586121
Nah, Sumpter was canon.He was just too old to do anything.
I fully expect his return after he regenerates. He got kicked off his own planet. Motherfucker's gonna come back Asura's Wrath style.

She is chubby in that. She also got to be in a few scenes with John Goodman. Must have been cool.
>>63585095
In your world yes. In my world No.
>>63586293
I'd imagine somebody closer to his more legendary status.

Don't know how he'd do these days.

and I know no-will like it, Robert Carlyle
What are your favourite things Who actors have done outside of Who? Hard mode: no John Hurt
I really like Tom Baker in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, Davison in Campion (saw him in that before I saw him in Doctor Who actually), and Eccleston in Jude to name a few.
>>63585543
>>63586569
Who's her porn doppelganger
>>63586667
I've watched a bunch of movies with Catherine Tate, and her TV comedy show's not bad. She is a serious actor as well as totally funny. I love this of course, I'm sure everybody has seen it.
https://youtu.be/WxB1gB6K-2A

>>63586789
yeah that does sound better
>>63586667
>>63586789
>stuck doing that fuckawful Disney show
>when he could be the best master in years
There's no justice left.
>>63586667
Baker was a brilliant Rasputin, too. Also I liked Eccleston and McGann before I even got into Doctor Who. It was cool as fuck seeing them both as the Doctor.
>>63586978
Have you seen her in Penny Dreadful? She got a more interesting role in season 2 and played it well.
>>63586992
I'll have to track Nicolas and Alexandra down, haven't seen Tom as Rasputin but the pictures look great.
>>63587071
I liked her tits.

THE WAR DOCTOR - VOLUME 1: ONLY THE MONSTROUS
Starring SIR JOHN HURT

'Are you a monster?'
>>63585569
Don't bother with Forrest, the rest are GOAT
1.1 The Innocent
As the Daleks mass their time fleet for a final assault on Gallifrey, something ancient is waiting for them at Omega One. And a sacrifice must be made.
Arch manipulator and Time Lord strategist, Cardinal Ollistra receives shock news of the Doctor’s death.
Meanwhile, on the planet Keska, a parochial war has returned to plague a peaceful civilisation after decades of tranquility. But how can such a war have any connection with the great Time War which, at any one moment in the whole of eternity, could threaten to tear the universe apart?
If only the Doctor were still alive.
1.2 The Thousand Worlds
With the high ranking Time Lord Seratrix behind enemy lines, the War Doctor finds himself assigned to a rescue mission. But any room for manoeuvre is severely restricted by an area of space known as the Null Zone.
Times have changed on Keska, and a countdown to destruction is beginning.
But who are the Taalyens and what is their part in the great and terrifying Dalek plan?
1.3 The Heart of the Battle
Trapped in a citadel swarming with Daleks, the Time Lord rescue force must find a way to overcome insurmountable odds. With the Daleks apparently planning to rule the Null Zone, perhaps their thirst for universal conquest and victory has been quenched…
The War Doctor doesn’t believe so — but how can he prove it without destroying any chance of peace?
As the countdown to the destruction of Keska proceeds, a deadly choice must be made… A choice that will define this Doctor and perhaps forever cast him in the role of ‘monster’.

>Of course, the most important thing to say about 'Rose' is that it was written entirely from Rose Tyler's point of view. The Autons provide the plot, but the story is all about her. (There's an old Hollywood saw, describing the vital difference between plot and story. Plot is: the King died and then the Queen died. Story is: the King died and then the Queen died of a broken heart.) I'd love to tell you that months of analysis went into the decision to focus on Rose, but the fact is it didn't take a second. Some things are just instinct, and the rest is hindsight. Hidden amongst a million options, there is one way to write something. And finding that one way is my job.
RTD a GOAT

cassandra was a really fucking funny and delightful villain in the end of the world btw, you just want her to be the murderer because she's so much fun. i think in the shooting scripts book (which is where that quote's from i believe) rtd describes the end of the world as 'not a whodunnit, more of an ihopeitsher. even if the cgi was a big shoddy she had the perfect doctor who mix of ironic, humorous, satirical, horrific and devilishly evil. good villain, underrated.

She should be in some capacity. As a vision like Amy was in ToTD or something. Probably won't happen since she's been erased from the Doctor's memory though.
>>63589776
>She should be in some capacity
why
NuWho ratings 2005-2015 (minus Hell Bent as the information hasn't come in yet)
>>63589776
>As a vision like Amy was in ToTD or something
Nope. She's gonna be there in person anon. She's got a Tardis and all the time in the universe to get back to Gallifrey whenever she wants.
When the Doctor first sees her he might think it's just a vision, but she'll turn out to be the real thing
>>63589808
Because she was his companion for his first two series? The fact that you don't personally like the character is irrelevant.
>>63589810

Doesn't need to be a reunion. Some subtle cameo would work. Happened when 4 and 5 regenerated, 10 had a farewell tour of all of his companions and side characters (bit much), and 11 had a vision of Amy. Regenerations should have callbacks like that.
>>63590078
>Regenerations should have callbacks like that.
Why? None of those were good.
Capaldi is better than Smith but the writing for him has been absolute garbage. they desperately need to get moffat and his fanfic shit out of the driver's seat
When will mods ban this general as the series is over for the year
sick of you BBKeks messing up this board
>>63590078
>10 had a farewell tour of all of his companions and side characters (bit much)
But his companions and side characters were all likable, rather than the irritating fuckers Moffat puts out.
>>63590124
>implying 6 and 7 weren't shit
>>63589843
Nah, they shot themselves in the foot by having him forget her. Yeah, he knows the woman in the diner was his companion that he lost his memories of now, but it won't mean much to the Doctor to see her since his emotional attachment got wiped with his memories. That's why I don't think it will happen even if I'd have liked it to. It'd be one thing if she forgot the Doctor but since he forgot her the trouble of explaining that all in his farewell episode wouldn't be worth it for a cameo that would be lost on the average viewer. And they are not going to bring her back for anything other than a cameo, I'd bet money on that.
>>63590120
I disagree. Only one I took issue with was 10 visiting so many fucking people. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a cut scene of him visiting Elton and his Ursula slab. Him just checking in on the major players of his era would have been good.
>>63590276
>implying the emotional connection and full memories won't snap back in his dying moments cause they'll say regeneration energy and shit is breaking down shit and healing stuff so the memory wipe is fading
>>63589810
Oh boy
>>63590036
What does Ratings have to do with how good a series was?
You do know that was after all that Series 1 Hype right?
>>63590276
I don't want her back, but all it takes is a couple of lines of nonsensical shit to explain away him regaining his memories. Nothing fancy or off-putting for the average viewer, they don't care too much.

I didn't say they were super-duper fantabulous, I said I liked them better than the fucking sunglasses you blithering sperg.
>>63590414
>>63590460
Imagine how clunky that would be though. There'd have to be some exposition of who she is and how he'd forgotten her in the first place along with how he's remembering her, all in scenes where we're supposed to be focusing on the departing Doctor and whatever the plot of the regeneration episode is. Then you'd probably have to explain why the Doctor doesn't look go looking for her in her travelling diner after he's regenerated. It's more trouble than it's worth for just a nod to the past.
>>63590128
Doctor Who isn't just a TV show, there's lots of other media released often (we have a big John Hurt audio series releasing on Monday for example) like audio stories, comics, books, etc. That, plus the fact the show has over 50 years of history, means there is much more to always talk about. It's not like GOT where there's just the books and the show, and there's a proper "offseason", because Doctor Who has something release at least every two or three weeks.
That's not even mentioning the fact we have an episode airing on Christmas which is very soon.
>>63590704
>There'd have to be some exposition of who she is
What? Did they do anything like that for 10's farewell or have to explain who Amy was? No. So not a problem
>>63590846
Those are entirely different cases though, that's what we've been discussing. The Doctor hadn't forgotten who those companions were, so their emotional significance didn't have to be setup. Clara popping up won't have any meaning for him aside from 'oh, you're that companion I had that I forgot' unless they go to the trouble of explaining the memory wipe away.
>>63587566
it would be great if they'd fucking give release dates on the pages for things
>>63586136
Is that an upskirt with a front view of Jenna's ass cheeks or just a weird reflection in the glass?
My brain is having a really hard time reconciling what I'm seeing.
>>63586569
I read that she got topless in some play, but I guess no one snuck any photos of it.
>>63591243
her thighs are touching
>>63591104
Agreed mate, but it's December 14 (Monday) if you're wondering. For the first War Doctor audio that is.
>>63590994
But why would we need exposition on who she is?
The Doctor would get memories flooding back as I previously said cause regeneration's weird and healing shit, and so he'd know anyway. And we already know who she is and about the memory wipe
It's not him seeing her and asking who she is and then having to explain that she was a companion and got mind wiped or whatever. Literally one throwaway line about the regeneration energy fixing the wipe would do. Then straight into "my clala"

In December 2015, the Time War will rage and only one man can save us. John Hurt is The War Doctor!
John Hurt, the world-renowned star of film and television, is returning to the role of The War Doctor, in twelve full-cast Doctor Who audio plays.
The War Doctor was introduced for Doctor Who’s Fiftieth Anniversary, and played a key part in the record-breaking television special The Day of the Doctor, alongside David Tennant and Matt Smith’s Doctors. He is the secret incarnation of the Time Lord — but he has shunned the title ‘Doctor’ in order to fight in the Time War against the Daleks.
“I have been a huge fan of John since first seeing him in the repeats of I, Claudius in the 1980s and in his Oscar-nominated role as the eponymous The Elephant Man,’ says Big Finish executive producer Jason Haigh-Ellery. ‘Watching his performance in The Day of the Doctor I did find myself fantasising that some far off day we might have the chance to work with him on the audio adventures of Doctor Who and now two short years later it’s happened! John wove a fantastic character together from a great script by Steven Moffat. Now we have the chance to get to know that character more and hear John stretch in the role. We’re all in for a hell of a ride as the War Doctor engages in battle. But who are the greater threat - the Daleks or the Time Lords?”
The audio adventures of The War Doctor will be told over four box sets, each containing three linked hour-long episodes. The first box set is entitled Only The Monstrous, and is written and directed by Nicholas Briggs, whose many successes for Big Finish include the BBC Audio Award-winning masterpiece Doctor Who: Dark Eyes.

“The story of the Doctor who refuses to call himself the Doctor in order to do the unthinkable upon the ultimate battlefield — all of space and time — was irresistible to me,” says Nicholas. “Such a deeply disturbing and engaging character created by the formidable talents of writer Steven Moffat and actor John Hurt. It’s such a privilege to be working on this.”
The cast of The War Doctor also includes Jacqueline Pearce, who plays Time Lord Cardinal Ollistra — an arch manipulator who is waging the Time War against the Daleks. Jacqueline’s work includes The Avengers, Callan, Doctor Who: Death Comes to Time, Moondial and Russell T Davies’ Dark Season, and she is known to many science fiction fans for her role as Servalan in the cult classic Blake’s 7.
Only The Monstrous will be released in December 2015, and will be followed in February 2016 by the second volume, Infernal Devices, which is written by John Dorney, Phil Mulryne and Matt Fitton. Volumes Three and Four are currently in pre-production.
“What an utter privilege it is to work with such an iconic actor, playing such a brilliantly devised role,” says producer David Richardson. “This is Doctor Who at its darkest — the era in which our hero casts aside his core values in order to try and save the galaxy in its most terrible hour. We promise bold and brilliant story-telling with gripping character drama, and epic and cinematic audio productions.”

He's the Worst Doctor. Can't believe people actually liked his portrayal. It was like someone's grandfather wandered on to the set.
order it or briggs will invert you

>>63592330
lol I'm not bothered about him but he's not terrible, he only had one story to be fair. Im just not impressed
>>63592382
he's fucking sir john hurt you nitwit. literally the best actor to ever play the role. yes he didnt have much to play in the 50th, but now he has a whole audio range for him to really show his stuff in
>>63592399
He's not Christopher Eccleston.
Is Hurt even canon?
>>63592399
Hurt is great I'm just not impressed they got a famous actor to special guest as the doctor. Its nothing against him.
beside what are the stories going to be about?
fighting the daleks? the doctor going to far?
thats going to get old fast

now stop shitposting.
I'll never forgive Moffat for ruining Doctor Who by adding the War Doctor.

https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/the-war-doctor-2-infernal-devices-1381
Looks like they'll start off as Hurt fighting Daleks, fighting being manipulated by Time Lords, and struggling with the conflict between being loyal to his people and not being a violent maniac, etc. Looks like he will steadily get more 'monstrous' as the audios progress. The descriptions of vol 2 also make it seem the more surreal elements of the time war will come into play more as the audios go on.
im assuming by the end of vol 4 we'll all be legit disgusted with war doctor. Briggs isnt the best writer in the world, but he can definitely manage that (remember the EDAs).

>It's not him seeing her and asking who she is and then having to explain that she was a companion and got mind wiped or whatever. Literally one throwaway line about the regeneration energy fixing the wipe would do. Then straight into "my clala"
Think about the fact that this won't be happening for atleast two more years. Then think about how this would play to the average viewer who doesn't watch the show as seriously as we do. The fact that he would have to justify why he can ecen remember her would be jarring in a scene like that and would take the focus away from him and ruin an emotional beat. When Amy appears you don't really have to know who she is other than 11 quickly and easily saying 'first face this face saw'. In the 12 seeing Clala scenario he would have to give a similar slight indication but before he could even do that for it to make sense for his character he'd have to spew some gobbledygook about how he's suddenly getting his memories back of this person that he was made to forget. It's just awkward. Also at this point he will presumably have had another companion, so Clara won't be the only one to consider and you wouldn't want to have her taking up all the focus from whoever the other one is. To top it all off that would be an incredibly anticlimactic way of reversing this memory loss he will have had all the time since she left.
>>63592501
here's your reply
>>63592535
didnt ruin doctor who, but i would have much preferred mcgann in the 50th. then again, having fucking john hurt in doctor who is pretty awesome.

Why? Is the pre-order cheaper or something? I'd rather just wait to buy it.

Yup, but the preorder price will maintain for all of December so don't feel too rushed. After December it will shoot up
>>63592662
>Yup, but the preorder price will maintain for all of December so don't feel too rushed. After December it will shoot up
thats true for some ranges, but for some the price goes back up after the day of release, not sure which for the war audios
It's been out a few weeks, did anyone here manage to get their hands on the set?

Yeah seems to be. The store I got it from got a late delivery, and I managed to put my name down for the last one. Managed to get it fairly cheap, well worth it. Was missing a minor piece to it though.

good luck.
Just finished part 1 of Greatest Show in the Galaxy.
I kinda feel like it /deserved/ to get canceled.
>you will never have a threesome with prime catherine tate and kristen wiig
>>63594472
Greatest Show is actually quite good.
What didn't you like about it?
Welcome to your NIGHTMARES.
>>63594472
That's one of the better 7 stories. But yeah, I can't really argue against the idea that the show deserved to be cancelled at that point
>>63594622
>I can't really argue against the idea that the show deserved to be cancelled at that point
But 25/26 are good.
>>63594622
But it didn't. Seasons 25 and 26 had some of the best stories in the entire Classic series.
Sadly the damage had been done by the Sixth Doctor's era and Season 24.
>>63584984
I enjoyed the episode inside the confession dial.
I don't get why the Doctor punched the diamond wall instead of kicking it though. Could have saved a few billion years.
>>63594542
It's unfair for me to criticize it yet, only being on part 2 right now.
It just feels more naff than usual? I dunno.
>>63594650
>>63594638
I meant around that era in general, not specifically those seasons.
>>63589810
But that's wrong
>>63594685

>>63584984
I'm not British
>>63584984
i think big finish is better than new who and classic who, and i think new who is still loads better than classic who anyway
>>63595638I agree
>>63595638
I see what you mean about big finish
cant agree with the new who statement though, I do find classic who too slow at times but I think new who has the opposite problem.
>>63595638
I also agree about Big Finish, up until recently anyway. The quality of the main range has gone way down hill. Special releases like Novel Adaptations or Dark Eyes are still great.
>>63595810i thought 8/9 was more interesting than anything in the main ranges recently desu.
>>63595810
agreed. stuff like Scherzo/Natural History of Fear/Master is pretty unparalleled, but all pretty old. Big Finish's average is way higher and consistent than it used to be, but they churn out less masterpieces than the uneven days.
>>63595856
8/9?
>>63595856
>8/9
Do you mean McGann? What do you mean by 9 though?
>>63595926
ohhh series 8 and 9
>>63595968
>>63596030
I get now you meant Series 8 and 9 (and I agree with you that those two series' were more interesting than anything in the main range lately), but there was no need to be coy about it. Writing "s8/9" would have been clearer. Anyways, doesn't matter.
Series 8 and 9 are actually my fav overall NewWho series'. I don't like them as much as Eight's classics over at BF, but they're still really, really good.

do you think it was an allegory for the show itself?
also love or hate the whizz kid?
>>63585088
this desu
>>63596496
I'm from Aus too mate, and if it releases at midnight (UK) then we'd get it...11AM here?
>>63589810
If you already fuck around with the ratings... do it right faggot
http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2015/12/series-nine-ratings-update.html
>>63596514
and no torrent or download up till when do you know?
>>63596524
>pirating big finish
ummm... please leave?
>>63596506
Yeah, it's clearly allegory.
The family in the stands is the viewing figures (I am not entertained skits constantly).
Whizz Kid was great. I assume the showrunners constantly ran into those kids, or probably WERE those kids by that point. Wanted to take a screen cap and title it "ThisIsYou,YouFaggots.jpg"
Thought the rapping American barker was a bit much, but came to enjoy even that. That might have been kinda hip in '88. Maybe not.
Pretty great all around.
>>63596543
I know, I've just turned 18 and waiting on my new card to arrive so I can start buying BF. I feel bad torrenting it, I'll go back and buy EDA1-4, DE1-4, DC1, new UNIT, and new Torchwood when I can
>>63596524
...the download is $20 AUD mate. Just buy it. Big Finish torrents normally take a week to go up, but it's not like this is an enormous amount of money, and not like this is the BBC or some big company - Big Finish is small and it's a wonder they can afford Hurt at all. You really should just buy it.
When you buy the ($20 AUD) download, you get it right as soon as it releases, which should be midnight in the UK. So Monday 11am for us.
>>63596518
lol sleep no more got ignored, also there's a swing towards women and young, as expected
>>63596587
No I cant shop online until the new card gets here (under 18 debit cards dont have the number on the back)
I'll buy them as soon as I do get the card, and I would have bought what I've torrented up till now, but I havent had the ability.
>>63596571
"its not as great as it used to be but I'm still terribly excited" ,a bit petty to kill him but still funny.

>>63596594
Lol where did they ignore sleep no more... you can see the shit trier episode in all AI graphs
>>63596574
You could always just wait mate - you don't *have* to have it right away - but yeah, BF torrents typically take a week-ish to go up. Sometimes just a few days. Never within like a day though.
If you're deadset on torrenting it then it's not like anyone is going to stop you but yeah, I'm sure you understand why you should actually buy it when you can. Hope you enjoy the audio mate.
>>63596621
Ive got 4 hours on a train Thursday, it'd be nice to have Hurt to keep me company
>>63596612
No worries friend. yeah I remember my under 18 card didn't have the back numbers.
yeah i only started being able to actually afford Big Finish a few years back and I try to buy back ones I torrented when I can. It does pay off, look at all the new series stuff they have now.
>>63596642
long commutes suck, I'm travelling to Sydney saturday to see star wars and it's going to be around 4 hours for me too. might listen to unit extinction then, haven't done that yet although i did buy it.

Might have even been a bit of comentary on the loss of innocence of the flower power generation, and their relative impotence in society, with Kingpin/Burnout representing the reclamation of their soul moving forward into the 90s.
Or not. Can't wait for next weeks installment.

>>63596247
Can't disagree about S4. The finale two-parter might be bad, but the four episodes before that are the best of the season.
In fact, every RTD season got better as it went on, apart from S2.
>>63596620
in the graph in the middle, it got really low ratings compared to the others
>>63594685
So what makes a better series - a higher peak on the trend line or a higher average?
>>63596699
Nice, are you seeing it at the melbourne imax? That's why I'm heading Sydney way. Couldn't manage to get tickets for thursday.
I saw the Doctor Who 50th in Newi and that was real nice. Shame no IMAXs here screened that.
What's /who/ with you?
>>63597747
enjoying the fact that it's only 12 hours until war doctor audio
>>63594638
I don't really see that. I know people LOVE The Curse Of Fenric, but I thought it still bore all the hallmarks of being stuck in the past, the show was just too sclerotic by that point and just couldn't change enough to really be worth watching on a regular basis.

It's rather marvellous. Though Jenna hasn't really got a lot of decent pics. Except low-res ones like this.
Speaking of feet, I'm eating some shrimp chips I just made in the microwave and they smell like 40 feet - which is terrible, but they do taste good.
