We finally get around to having a War Doctor edition
Worse than series 2: >>63643096
Reminder that War Doctor is shit and unneeded, and that the Time Lord Victorious was right
>>63654875
>>63654980
>back peddling this hard
Literally, who?
Has anyone actually listened to this fucking box set who can tell us whether or not it's noteworthy at all? (bookanon doesn't count)
>>63655618
Time lord victorious is noncanon.
>>63655709
It's shit
>>63655618
Time Lord Victorious is the best Doctor.
How much longer do we have to put up with the current shit Doctor Capaldi?
>>63655618
good hair on you la
>>63655703
>The LEGO Ideas set is sold out everywhere and being scalped for a $40 mark-up in most places
>Even the LEGO Dimensions minifigure pack is being scalped to hell and back
We're pretty much guaranteed to get a full line at this rate.
>>63655815
>How much longer do we have to put up with the current shit Doctor Capaldi?
>>63655894
to be fair there's a lego shortage this year
>>63655933
Yeah but from what I've seen most of their other stuff isn't selling anywhere near that hard. The Doctor Who Level Pack is going for more than any other Lego Dimensions set.
Is it time?

I'm watching The Next Doctor with my mom (no knowledge of DW outside of the preceding episodes) and my brother (little knowledge outside of modern series). Anything I should ask them?
>>63655992
how long until the show becomes a co production with world wide so the show actually gets some of that dosh?
>>63656110
Once Britain lets go of television licenses.
>>63656085
Ask them what?
THIS IS A POST TER SHOW DAT AY DO INDEED SUPPORT OF A SCOUSER INCARNATION OF OUR DOCTOR AFTI DAT CAPALDI LA', SINCE LIKE RINGO AM A BORN LEVER-PULLER
POST 'THANKS LA' IN 30 SECONDS O' YOUS WANT A MAN FROM THE MERSEY FOR OUR TIME LORD
>>63656147
Any Doctor Who issues for which you'd like to hear the opinion of a 45 year old Korean plebian.
>>63656183
THANKS LA
>>63656214
WHY DOES THE DOCTOR'S ACCENT CHANGE AROUND SO MUCH REEEEEEEEEEE
>>63656214
Does she like David Morrissey?
>>63656256
She says it's because "he changes in time". She's kinda half asleep right now.
>>63656183
fuck off, geordie for 13th doctor
>>63656330
She's never heard of him
>>63656350
Who is her favorite Doctor?
>>63656350
did you do the proper 'REEEEE' sound? because that's an important part of the question
>>63656369
Nah, I mean, ask her what she thinks of him after watching the episode.
>>63656183
thanks la'!
>>63655712
Capaldi practically just went Time Lord Victorious in Hell Bent
>>63656370
9m She's only seen him and 10 though.
>>63656431
I'll ask her after.
>>63656406
She says "okay"
>>63656488
capaldi wanted to bend time and space so he could save his friend and have adventures, TLV wanted to bend time and space to match a certain version of history according to his own opinions and moral standards. TLV is a higher thinker. TLV is what the Doctor becomes when he's no longer just the idiot in a box, when he realises his true ability and surpasses Rassilon and Omega as the founder of a New Time Lord society, all under his hand.
>>63656491
Ask her to describe the Daleks.
I will post this every day until Christmas!11 days.
>>63656574
What's her favourite episodes of the ones she's seen?
>>63656110
Fuck knows, but didn't they actually just move the production end of the show to the BBC's main offices and give it a larger budget?
>>63656611
Doctor Dances
>>63656488
The doctor will never go Time Lord Victorious under Moffat's reign because he can't write it. It'll be a wacky adventure, a paradox will happen, he'll name a girl something dumb again like 'the star girl who dreamt" or some shit. Then a paradox will happen star girl is super special and dreams everything right again. The doctor takes out his guitar and performs a rockshow. The end. Fuck moffat.

She says, "Yeah. Of course they're robots." Sorry for the late reply; my internet crapped out.

Aiight then.

It starts off very well with The Horror of Fang Rock, but the last two stories are pretty awful in my opinion.

>>63658860
They ran out of money and limped to and end. The last two episodes take place in a warehouse standing in for the tardis for gods sakes....
I just found this.
https://youtu.be/DNEjx6XUbfQ
>>63659153
the last serial was written in 3 days
>>63659182
It shows
>>63659222
>“Normally you have about five or six months to set up and do preparation on a series with, usually, a few unused stories in the cupboard. We had nothing. The Invasion of Time came about because the original script for that slot came in right up against the deadline. And when it did come in, it proved to be unworkable. It just could not be done. There were things in it, I remember, like an amphitheatre the size of Wembley Stadium filled with killer cats in the audience. So that story went out of the window, leaving us just five days to write three hours of television. I don’t think either Anthony Read or I went to bed for three days solid.
>>63659248
I'm entirely convinced David Weir was engaging in some kind of scriptwriting form of trolling.
>>63658656
Horror and Sunmakers are the only good serials.
Underworld and Invation are contenders for worst serials of the shows run...
>>63659423
>Invation
Am i retarded?
>>63659377
He must have went stupidly over budget if they literally couldn't use anything. I wish they release the script but he died in 2011 so fat chance now.
>>63659477
They should release a book of the mythical lost script of Who
Killer in the dark
Scratchman
Case of yellow fever
Dark dimensions
>>63655703
>Production shots of the Tardis set is 10 & Rose
>Actual release is 12 & Clara
Just kill me.
>>63656827
Into the Dalek was just a shitty version of Dalek.
First half of series 7 tried to redo the Time Lord Victorious arc, only impotent & stupid. Wow, the Doctor killed a crippled old man, so compelling.
>>63659581
that's a fanmade image
>>63659581
That's your problem with it? that its going with the current doctor instead of your favorite? Not that its modeled after time of the doctor and has 12 in 11s shitty outfit and 11 is included...
>>63659477
Maybe he was just used to working on Monkey that he didn't think much of writing for a production budget.
>>63659766
But that was 11's GOATest outfit
>>63659841
perhaps but time was garbage why would i want to relive that?
>>63659766
>11s shitty outfit
Fuck off m8
>>63659581
>Production shots
Those were just pitch illustrations made by the Lego Ideas member that submitted the project. His intention was always to have either Rose and Ten, or the current Doctor which would be more likely for marketing and licensing reasons.
>>63659926
Purple jacket was Eleven's worst costume, and it sucks since you have to buy the Lego Dimensions set to get Capaldi's actual suit.

Oh yeah?
>>63661519
Wanking Moffat is the best meme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulxRmR5eNYA
Just wanted to point this out to people who think he hates the show or something
So since we are already one incarnation past when it was supposed to occur.. Where the hell is the Valeyard?
>>63661945
Ah what a sweet guy
>>63661952
6 killed him. A couple of times
>>63662060
But he was supposed to be created when the last regeneration found a way to use more regenerations. Since '11' cheated absolute death, shouldn't that event have created him?
>>63662141
Masters line was at some point between your 11th and final regeneration. Gives them wiggle room.
VNA said that the hatred 6 felt in the doctors mind for 7 "killing" is what tured into the valeyard.
In Time's champion the valeyard was created by death to serve as it's champion since "she" felt that the doctor was too pure to be a proper champion.
I don't recall since I was o busy being disappointed did they give Valeyard an origin in Last adventre?
Personally i like the idea that the valeyard was 10 during his time lord victorious phase. His so much more speech was him realizing how close he was to the edge and agreeing to spare Wilf was his way of stepping back. Since he had meet the valeyard he was able to resist the urge to be come him blah blah blah fan wank.
>>63662308
I think in the audios it was implied 11 created him while stuck on Trenzalore when trying to extend his life.
There was also a theory that metacrisis 10 could become evil because he was "born in battle" or something, and because he can't regenerate he would try to steal regenerations from the Doctor. (I guess he would even fit as the 'real' hybrid'
>>63661945
even in this 1.5 minute thing while his intentions are definitely in the right place it's clear he doesn't care much about doctor who or really understand it even
I wonder if capaldi gave him a stern talking to which made him do it
>>63662402
Don't recall that, interesting. Yeah the metacrisis is the obvious choice, he's even called that in the forgotten comic(but it was all a dream...)
>>63662426
Eccleston always did it for the kids. He would definitely do this for a kid in the hospital. He doesn't like some people working on the show, but the whole reason he did the show in the first place is because he wanted to do something for kids.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20wJoBGL5YQ
>>63662566
I honestly feel a bit bad for eccleston, he must be so sick of getting the 'why did you leave' question
>>63661753
Glad somebody enjoys it. I just fixed the hand a bit, barely noticeable but it's more wank friendly now and not sideways.
>>63662671
how many moff wank gifs do you have?
>>63662639
Yes but at the same time look at that clip. It was 2 minutes long and 1:55 of it was him dancing round the question and then giving a lame 2 lines cop out. If he would just say what happened he'd be done with it but all we get are vague illusions to events. Hell there are 5 different stories about why he turned down the 50th...
People hate mysteries. He should have said what happened and moved on...
>>63662402
>I think in the audios it was implied 11 created him while stuck on Trenzalore when trying to extend his life.
No it wasn't.
>>63662763
To be fair I can understand his stance of 'everyone who was a part of it has a different side of the story and it's not fair to just say mine'
We are all the doctor!
>>63661945
Is this canon?
>>63662566
He really does love kids, there was something posted some time ago where a kid approached him and asked if he'll ever do another episode and he promised he would come back if that kid wrote it.
>>63662712
Too many to count. When I first did them I kept them all in one folder, but when I had a hard drive failure I had to snag them off the archive in no particular order. Now whenever I make new ones I don't bother organizing them anymore so I have a shit ton somewhere.
>>63662988
>Is this canon?
Only if we write an article on the tardis wiki for it and it goes undetected like the NY engagement one did for a time
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtV1TgcexKE
daily reminder tardis wiki removed our article for this
it's canon dammit
>>63663062
What the hell are you talking about?
>>63663056
http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Underpants
Our Underpants page is still up and now forever part of the wiki.
One of the admins removed it the first time for being "nonsense" but I radded it and they didn't remove it and it's been there since.
>>63663119
Some anons created a page for that video as if it was an actual episode and it got deleted.
>>63663062
is what we typed still present in the page history, or does deleting a page remove the history?
It'd have been good if we could have archived it on the /who/ wiki
>>63663209
>>63663210
Nope its gone.
My favorite part was in the reference section where we wrote River was possibly in the episode since Eccleston says "that's my wife over there" at the end. We got so much stuff out of that short clip.
>>63663349
Posting old memes that predate reddit is reddit?
You people can never be happy can you?
>>63662988
So what you're saying is we have to find this kid, groom him to become a writer for the show, and then have him do the next anniversary special? Well I do appreciate a challenge.
>>63662308
The Last Adventure had a CIA agent state that the Valeyard was a top secret black project created by the CIA based off Gallifrey's most infamous renegade - the Doctor. They would give the Valeyard the Doctor's regenerations and he would act as their agent to control Gallifrey and time.
However, it was later revealed that this agent was the Valeyard in disguise, so it's probably all nonsense.
Trial of the Valeyard has him state during the Doctor's final regeneration he spent a long period alone and in an attempt to gain more regenerations, he created another being - the Valeyard. Again, this was probably a lie told by the Valeyard to the court.
>>63663627
Thats right I remeber now.
And the trial story was all part of a trap for the doctor so it was most definitely made up
Is loose cannon kill?
>>63664156
Didn't they recon everything? what more is there to do?
>>63664180
Maintain the ability to obtain what they've done. I'd love to get some of those "totally-not-dvd" "vhs" "dubbers don't really give a shit apparently" copies. A lot of their stuff that's out on the net is in shit quality.
>>63664240
It is kinda sad to see all the recon/animated episode news and intrest is kinda dead now. BBCs not doing anymore animated episodes (I still think they could turn a nice profit on color remakes of the dalek episodes) Every episode had been slide showed already.
haven't even heard any crazy lost episode rumors in like a year.
>tfw bought two tickets to star wars
>friend I was going to go with's phone is dead and can't contact him
>tfw might have wasted $25 for there to be an empty seat next to me
what doctor who episode should I watch to clear my mind?
>>63664500
Well the problem is that they're y'know, lost. They're not just gonna turn up on a set schedule. It could be years before anymore show up.
>>63664807
Well, yeah. Realistically we are most likely never going to find another one. The film is 50 years old and won't last much longer if copies are even still out there. Getting web and enemy was northing short of a miracle...

Reminder that trips kill threads.
Don't trip.
>>63665589
what about these trips?
The Doctor and River exchange clothes at some point in a visual gag in the Husbands of River Song.
>>63658994
Torchwood is pretty great, especially the third season Children pf the Earth, that's something pretty special. It also features Capaldi.
>>63657908
Okay, Toshiko may have been cuter (A bit. It's very hard to call) , but I reckon I prefer Gwen because there's something about Eve Myles that just makes her lovely beyond compare. Is it the Welsh accent? Is it the smile? Is it the eyes? Is it the figure? Any answer is basically acceptable, Gwen Cooper is just the queen of lovely
>>63664801
I get you, bro. I asked my friends if any of them were going to watch it so we could group together, looks like none of them are. But this is one movie I've gotta watch so I'm thinking of booking one of the daytime screenings on Thursday or Friday, Iuckily I live in a rather insignificant town so there's still loads of spaces.
>>63667312
In this case I just got too excited and bought tickets without asking him at all (he's said he didn't have any plans for it yet), and now I've bought them he's entered one of his 'phone is dead and doesn't go on facebook' periods and there's only 24 hours left to really guarantee he would be able to go (assuming he doesn't already have plans for that day)
Worst case scenario I don't have a sweaty neckbeard on one side of me I guess, could be worse but I wish the ticket wasn't 25 whole dollarydoos
>>63666141
You saying we get to see the Capaldcleavage?
HELL BENT FUCKING SUCKED
>>63666141
I just wish they stopped sexualizing people over 50 in a show watched by kids through young adults.
>tfw he will never be Omega and will just have to go back to writing ethically dodgy """verbatim""" plays
Hard luck Rob.
>>63668306
>The thought that people over 50 like sex is traumatising children everywhere
Who will end Moffat's reign of terror?
>>63668347
It's just, a woman older then my mother is not really sexy, and seeing her unironically pimped out like this makes me cringe.
>>63668441
Oh so because you can't have a bones on River because she's old makes you hate her. This is basically how Tumblr feels over Peter, he's 57 so they can't dream of him being romantic and giving them a hard on.
>>63668504
But Capaldi is not sexualized.
I don't watch DW for sexiness and certainly not for sexualization of old people. Old people are gross.
>>63668441
As a gay man, all these young women companions wearing "sexy" clothing have caused me untold agony. Why can't Doctor Who be more sensitive to its audience?
>>63666376
If anyone thinks there's anything wrong with a third Capaldi face in the Doctor Who universe then TO HELL WITH YOU you you you.
Seriously though how does Moffat explain that?
>>63668675
RTD commented once that he's the descendant of Roman guy and his bloodline ended as compensation for Doctor's actions.

And before you start, the fact she can't talk is irrelevant. It's not hard to figure something out.
>>63670231
Edge of Destruction, Doctor's Wife, and Journey to the Center of the TARDIS?
Hey /who/. Two episodes into the war doctor set so far. Really good. I kind of wish they gave the war doctor more action, as the side characters they give all the action to are cunts, but I love how they're going really heavily into the idea of the compromises the time lords are willing to make in the name of "peace". It kind of shows how there never was a "right" side to the time war when the time lords are willing to commit atrocities themselves and bring it all to an end. Hurt's doctor is pretty great too. Sarcastic and angry grandpa still, but with more time to get into the characterization and star it's easier to handle him being a hero. He can be a dick because he needs to be that to be able to make choices that morally hurt him the most. Its like john hurt playing the doctor who's playing a monster, only the doctor isn't a very good actor while john hurt is; which actually makes a lot of sense.
>>63670337
Castrovalva?
>>63670337
Exactly. Through over 50 years, she's only had those three. Yeah, she gets a story or two in EU stuff, but almost nothing in the main series.
You'd think an nigh-infinitely expansive sapient time machine who's mind exists in all points in time and space simultaneously would be a good well for stories, but apparently not. It's almost surreal how the only writer who was interested in fleshing her out as a character was Neil Gaiman of all people.
>>63670556
It can't be more interesting then its destinations, otherwise, why leave?
>>63670601
Agreed, the more episodes they give showing how cool the TARDIS is the less meaningful it becomes for them to even travel
>>63670601
>>63670721
>the TARDIS can't have many episodes because she's too interesting
The shit of it is, I can't even think of a way to argue with that assertion. That's a little bit fucked.
>>63670973
Yeah, that is the kind of thing. The same way Time Lords are mostly obscured and are better this way. Or time war.
It's something better left for imagination and not interefering with general storytelling.
>>63670973
Is there a full version of that?
>>63670973
There is an argument to be made that it works in the context of mythology arcs. An argument of whether a mythology arc is good or not is important though
>Clara now heads to the door. We realise - it's the same restaurant where they parted ways in Death in Heaven. The Doctor doesn't even look at her, not knowing who she is. She opens the door, and holds it with her hand. She's got a last thing to say. "By the way, Doctor... I have a message for you"
>'If he doesn't remember her, there's no way he'd remember this, right?' she thinks. "Run. Run you clever boy, and be a Doctor". The Doctor looks at her and like an automatic answer he says "Thank you", smiling back at Clara, who looks at him one last time, tearfully saying goodbye with her eyes. And she's off. That's it. She's gone.
>The Doctor turns back, happy to have met such a good lady. But there's a spark in his mind. His smile slowly disappears, his look settles on his coffee... 'Clara...? Was this Clara?!' he remembers what she said, what Oswin and Victorian Clara said. What she said when she jumped in his time stream. It WAS Clara!
>He storms off outside, looks left and right: she's nowhere to be seen. He gears a motorbike, remembering Clara had a motorbike, and runs to an alley. There, Clara is on her bike, she looks back to him a last time, smiling. "Clara!" the Doctor says and she drives off.
>"Clara...!" he says, but she's already gone now, and soon she leaves the alley and his sight. He turns back, half happy and half sad and sees - Clara's last gift. His TARDIS!
Does /who/ know when series 9 will get a complete dvd/blu ray release?
>>63671323
What?
>>63671269
Mythology arc is OK, but imposing it over a wacky show about alien old guy who kidnaps schoolteachers is kinda clumsy. Everyone who could have monopoly on single canon vision are dead, and cohesion is not a top priority for anyone currently in charge.
>>63671508
I want to become showrunner so I can intentionally fuck up continuity and retcon shit.
>>63671468
Here's the story short:
Time Lords send out a bounty on the Doctor, Clara and Missy's heads in the opener without anyone in the universe knowing it's them. The Doctor, Clara and Missy travel together for the whole series, hearing about a hybrid while being researched by the entire universe because of the bounty. In the closing moments of episode 11, the Doctor learns it's the Time Lords who sent out the bounty and the three get teleported to Gallifrey. In the finale, we learn the Time Lords sent out the bounty so someone would capture the Doctor and get him back on Gallifrey so he can help them find and stop the hybrid, who is thought to soon destroy Gallifrey and stand in its ruins. After a game of Rassilon Roulette, they go and meet with the Matrix. In an unexpected twist, it's revealed The Doctor and Clara are the hybrid, their relationship is somehow toxic to the universe and the Time Lords want to get rid of one of them so the hybrid doesn't happen and Gallifrey is kept safe. They aim to kill Clara which is much easier to get rid of than the Doctor. Cue 20 minutes running around Gallifrey, escaping Gallifrey's armies. They both try to escape in an old TARDIS but the Time Lords chronolock it and Clara and the Doctor are stuck with a choice: The Doctor stays on Gallifrey and Clara is sent back on Earth or one of them gets their memories erased.

I've been doing this ever since the second Dark Eyes. Not sure if it's good or bad. I don't actually care about physical versions, so I keep them sealed and sell them on.

If the daleks are fated to be the only beings left at the end of the universe, does that mean they deserve to exist? Does exterminating other races matter if they're just going to go extinct anyways? From a certain point of view have the Daleks even done anything wrong?

I think the show has gone downhill over the last two seasons. I gave up on Doctor Who after the spooky Sealab 2021 episode.
Is it worth watching the rest of the season? What was the best episode of the last season?

The best episode is the penultimate episode of series 9. Its the best episode since... Chimes of Midnight, Human Nature/Family of Blood or Battlefield depending on which you believe is the most GOAT

>>63672459
on closer inspection I think I'm wrong. Still, Nerris is definitely there, and considering we never heard from her aside from Runaway Bride, leaves me to believe she worked at HC Clements, so why she there? Anyway, person I thought was Lance is the black guy on the right
>>63672837

m8...
>>63673214
to be fair she has a similar backstory
>>63673461
Donna didn't have a job while Rose did. Jackie wasn't always on Rose's back telling her she was a good for nothing unlike Sylvia and Donna. Donna had a grandfather and no boyfriend while Rose had a boyfriend and a mother. I can go on.

We won't be getting Series 10 until August at the earliest m8.
When and how can I get the River audios? I'm not gonna pay for it.
>>63673522
I can live with that I suppose. So what, there been an announcement that we'll get info on the 1st?
>>63673522
>implying
We're not getting Series 10 before late September or even early October. Filming starts in May and we're gonna get a split series anyway.
>>63655709
I just finished it.
The Innocent definitely drags a bit. Voice acting of the supporting cast sounds a little weak and the plot jumps around a little disjointedly.
It picks up somewhat in The Thousand Worlds, and The Heart of the Battle is fairly decent.
Still not quite as grand in scope as I was hoping for, though.
In the end they talk a lot about how WarDoc is really a monster of war who will do what atrocities need to be done, but they don't go far enough to justify why he was totally disowned by the subsequent Doctors.
>>63673533
2 weeks later on audiobookbay. Be patient anon. And don't spam /who/ for a link.
>>63673360
In what way do you want the new companion to be similar to Donna exactly? What traits?
She had some GOAT moments but she was kind of an annoying bitch half the time imhofam
>>63673569
were not getting a split series
>>63673338
Im-fucking-plying.
>>63673131
Mildly interesting, 6.5/10
>>63673579
haven't listened to the audios yet
but that's a problem I had with the book 'engines of war'.
I think they'll have to go with the 'hes given up' angle rather than the 'turning to the darkside'.
>>63673622
We are. Series 10 will be filmed entirely in 2016, but that will end in December. We're getting 6 episodes + Xmas in 2016 and 6 episodes in 2017.
>>63673505
but rose did have a grandfather
remember 9 and him got into a spit fest over someone eating the meat loaf? that was favorite 9 episode desu even though I know people hate it.
>>63673705
gr8 b8 m8
were not getting anything in 2016 except for christmas special
>>63673617
She was funny, had some personality, was bossing around the Doctor but in a funny/playful way unlike Clara who was a giant bitch about everything. She really thought she wasn't special, she was still down to Earth. She cared for people and even aliens (Oods, Pompeii inhabitants,...). I really liked her and a similar character with 12 would bring a great dynamic.
When is BBC going to man the fuck up and start giving us 24 episode seasons? Who is far and away their most popular show and Americunt series do it all the time.

>but rose did have a grandfather

I don't know what you're taking but I don't want any of it.
>>63673784
it was in episode 7 i think? they were having a family gathering and a good chunk of the meat loaf disappeared. so the grandfather started questioning 9 about it.
"did you eat the meat loaf"
"no I didnt eat the meat loaf"
"WHO ATE THE MEAT LOAF THEN?"
"MAYBE IT WAS YOUR FATASS MOTHER YOU STUPID APE"
come on now that was funny stuff
>>63673579
I think the problem is the Han Solo conundrum: the closer the writers get to crossing the point of no return, the more difficult it is for anyone to believe he's still redeemable(why lucas didnt want han shooting first)
But i gotta ask, its heavily implied that the doctor blew up a bunch of daleks hiding behind children in his war trauma nightmares and it hadnt been as final a solution as he had hoped. Is that not enough to be disowned?
>>63673839
There wasn't any meat loaf in Father's Day.

Why?
>>63674031
Because it's balanced out between funny and more serious episodes.
>>63674029
That works too.
>>63673878
Those trauma flashbacks were interspersed with so much boring convalescence that it's easy to forget about them.
The thing is, without going into too much spoilers, at the very end the Cardinal tells John Smith something along the lines of "I'm glad that you are truly a warrior when you're not occasionally deluding yourself that you're a man of peace" when truthfully, he'd barely come close to crossing the kind of line that would warrant that comment.
>>63674070

>>63674247
The fact is: we need funnier/lighter stories than DARK DARK DARK all the time which series 9 was. Arguably the only lighter story was The Girl Who Died but it wasn't "funny".
>>63674301
If it was up to me this would be my ideal DW series but you need to set odds. The show isn't a comedy, but that doesn't it can't be lighter/totally funny because it's a drama.

Genuinely no idea what's going on here but I really really like it.
>>63674329
The Magician's Apprentice was funny, but you're right there. Makes me miss series 6
>>63674358
The show shouldn't be a drama. It's supposed to be a fun kids show, there is nothing cringier than a kids show that takes itself to seriously.
>>63674358
if the show become nonstop fun it would be stale like graham williams era
>>63674444
but S6 was darker than S9
>>63674468
>cringier
What?
>>63674515
The comparative adjective form of cringe.
>>63674444
I wouldn't say it was funny, the tank, the sunnies and the guitar were cringe. But each to their own. See, The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon balanced fun and dark perfectly.
>>63674468
You're right. That's why Series 9 was a failure whereas Series 6 kinda worked because the resolution was quite silly "a Doctor in a Doctor suit!". Series 9 took itself too seriously.
>>63674479
I agree. That's why I think there should be consequences at some point and some dark episodes. Series 4 and 5 managed that perfectly and 6 too in a way, but it was seriously let down by a disappointing arc.
Did anyone else skip all of the episodes set in Victorian times on their first time watching through the series?
I mean I have seen them all by now and lots are great, but I have a visceral distaste for stuff set in Victorian times, I can't imagine I am alone out there on this.
All through Only the Monstrous I was expecting them to reveal that the Talyans hated and wanted to enslave and exterminate the Keskans was because the Keskans had used them as a race of disposable lab rats and experimental subjects, and they rose up to destroy them in revenge. You know, with the hints about the Keskans being scientists and engineers and the Talyans being technologically far behind them.
But no, it never came. Instead they're just your usual generic genocidal maniacs who get played by the Daleks like idiots.
WarDoc didn't really do anything monstrous either, at best he just assisted in a heroic sacrifice.
>>63674074
Its hard to balance though. In 3 stories they still have this giant gap to convey from night of the doctor all the way to the beginning of the box set the atrocities of the time war. Arguably without a box set of the early war doctor the only way to do that is to have an entire box of flashbacks. And not only that but they have the entire war to set up as well. The second episode of which I felt did a good job of bringing about the expectation of the time lords being douchebags.
However, I do think there's an interesting concept the box set brings up:the eighth doctor helped where he could around the fringes, the war doctor helps where he wants. Thats a good bit of clever characterization, because it establishes him as not under the time lords control and thus very doctor-y
>>63672497
K-9's ears are wrong and he doesn't have the gunbarrel nose.
>>63674635
No but I got sick of the Victorian era after Deep Breath. I'm glad we haven't returned there yet. But bring the Paternoster to the modern era.
>>63674635
I've never heard of a distaste for a specific era.
although I would prefer to see other eras more, glad we got a viking and higheywayman episode
>>63673579
The reason he was disowned was hat he destroyed Gallifrey, or at least that's what the Doctor thought until The Day of the Doctor.
Simple as that.
It's when Doctor Who tries to take itself too seriously and goes full ape shit that it fails. That's why Series 9 and 3 failed and 6 too, to a lesser degree.
5 > 4 > 7 > 8 > 6 > 1 > 9 > 3 > 2
>>63674769
>It's when Doctor Who tries to take itself too seriously and goes full ape shit that it fails.
>Series 2 at the bottom
>Series 8 near the top
I agree that 8 is one of the best and 2 the worst, but the former definitely takes itself seriously for the most part, while the latter doesn't.
That ranking doesn't really support your argument.
>>63674769
>It's when Doctor Who tries to take itself too seriously and goes full ape shit that it fails
No, it fails when they dinnae write the episodes good.
If Series 3 had 'taken itself too seriously' it would still have been shit but we might at least have been spared Dobby and Tinkerbell.
Stop with all these retarded 'Doctor Who must be like ___' declarations, you'd think after 52 years we'd have got the fucking picture that
>>63674769
But all the best episodes of NuWho are the darker or more serious episodes.
>>63674635
My favorite story is The Talons of Weng-Chiang, so I have nothing at all against the era.
I am getting a bit sick of it in NuWho though, especially since it's pretty much guaranteed screentime for those obnoxious Paternoster cunts.
>>63674645
I was actually waiting in the first story for a GOAT twist about the Talyans being Thals and the Keskans originally calling themselves Dals before running away from their war and the doctor having a moral dilemma of helping them. But they played it pretty safe in this first box.
>>63674919
We haven't seen it in almost 2 series
>>63674769
It's not serious vs silly, it's just arcs or themes usually suck and awkwardly and obtrusively loom over plots.
>>63674963
Did somebody say "Obtrusive looms over plot"?
>>63674961
And I hope we don't see it for at least two more.
DAILY REMINDER THAT WILF FUCKED IT ALL UP

>>63675489
Just a reminder that RTD originally wanted to have "Because We Want To" on the jukebox instead but Billie Piper threw a fit behind the scenes and bitched out the crew, which was one of the reasons why Eccleston left.

Moffat is pretty good at it, but I think he felt the backlash from things being too samey (he even said as much in an interview), so he's dialed back on that for the last two series. Christmas episode sounds like he's gonna cut loose though, which is cool.
>>63676416
Man, I almost posted that too! Made for an Aids fundraiser too.
>I asked earlier whether the first War Doctor story could really live up to years’ worth of expectations placed upon it. I can safely say that it not only lived up to but in fact also exceeded them. A well written science-fiction war epic, featuring incredible performances and a great way of exploring a briefly seen Doctor like never before. ‘Only the Monstrous’ just might be one of the very best releases given to us by Big Finish all year, and with such strong releases like ‘Dark Eyes 4’ and ‘The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure’, I do not say that lightly. Highly recommend for any Whovian.
