why do you people enjoy dr who so much. hardly anybody in england enjoys it and the only reason it was so popular is because in them days there was nothing else to do than to watch the channels given to you which was 5 channels. it's so fucking boring and the lore is shallow and shit

Forest of the Dead
>RIVER: Funny thing is, this means you've always known how I was going to die. All the time we've been together, you knew I was coming here. 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.
>RIVER: You wouldn't tell me why, but I suppose you knew it was time. My time. Time to come to the library. You even gave me your screwdriver. That should have been a clue.
>That should have been a clue.
Husbands of River Song
>River: Some of them suggest that... the very last night we spend together is at the Singing Towers of Darillium. That wouldn't be true, would it?
>The Doctor: Spoilers.
>River: ( gasps ) Well, that would explain why you kept cancelling coming here. Do you remember that time...
>River: .. because I want you to know that if this is the last night, I expect you to find a way round it.
>River: So... assuming tonight is all we have left...
>The Doctor: I didn't say that.
>River: .. how long... is a night on Darillium?
>and talk of mortality and River talking about how he'd save her

Who the fuck asked your opinion?
So, how many men and women did River banged? Isn't the Doctor concerned about the matter? Were the antlers, seriously out of meme, a reference to cuckoldry?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuckold
>>64116484
Nah they're the new companions. And they're not Indians.
Can they do a River Song episode already where they discuss her short career as a semi-professional femdom?
>>64116463
The dedication that went into this meme is incredible and must be congratulated. Bravo.

Don't you worry. It's a big event, I'm sure someone will spam it. It's a meme now.
The cgi is so shit in this show
>>64116696
I like it when some series incorporate a little monster of the week type stuff, like Dexter for example. It is mainly character driven and the stories are linear but there's always a monster of the week type feel. I agree with ya though, it is weak but I still enjoy Doctor Who. It's light hearted and easy to digest and just fun to binge

>>64116795
The Boundless Sea: A great, fast-paced way to kick off the boxset. Fairly light on the continuity which makes it a great standalone episode, with a plotline somewhat reminiscent of The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances in an ancient archaeological tomb. Despite being a lot of fun, hits on some pretty strong emotional beats towards the end with some of River's lines which are pretty heavy. The resolution is a bit contrived and the way it leads into the rest of the boxset is a tad confusing so 8.5/10
Marvellous Party: If the last episode was The Empty Child for River, this is her Mummy on the Orient Express. Android waitresses, murders and champagne. A pretty light-hearted romp which is nice considering what's to come, plus it's great to just hear River in the moment solving mysteries by herself. A solid 8/10
Signs: Absolutely freaking gobsmacking. Easily the best audio story I've heard from Big Finish in a good couple of years. Almost like the audio continuity's answer to Heaven Sent but with even more of a surreal, Twin Peaks-esque dream quality to it. Even with the twists revealed at the end - and they are whoppers - it's still unclear at some points what is reality and fantasy in this mindbender. Creepy, funny, poignant and heartbreaking, this is a straight 10/10
Rulers of the Universe:The Doctor sort of takes on the lead role in this story, with a wearied Eight Doctor who's probably approaching the end of his life giving Paul McGann the chance to show some real fury at the injustices of the world. River is basically trapped on a spaceship the whole time which feels a bit of a waste, but oh well. Her reaction upon realising which Doctor Bertie has trapped is absolutely heartbreaking - she knows how optimistic and naive Eight is, even now. The resolution and indeed the villains of the boxset-wide arc are underwhelming but not wholly uninteresting. 6/10

i'm a 36 yo englishman with 3 kids and a wife and watching dr who is a tradition within my family. it's a boring, unchallenging show but it's nice to have family routines, and i admit i look forward to sitting with my family with a glass of wine to watch it as it does instil a sense of comfort within me. my kids love it and my wife does too, however her taste is pretty bland when it comes to tv too, she enjoys her eastenders, in fact she's watching it now on sky+ whilst i'm here shit posting.

They really doing darker River on audio, when she's not putting on her cheery mask for Doctor.
With sonic trowel in "Diary" and "real" River being theme of last special, they really did work with Moff close this time it seems.

Hey, I'm a nuwho that has only seen a couple classic episodes.
Which episodes should I watch to get the best of The Brigadier? I feel like I'm missing out on a big part of the lore by not knowing more about him.
>>64121665
chan thats pretty cool tho
>>64121743
Just start with Spearhead and watch through Pertwee at your own pace.
What's the connection between Dr. Who and Star Wars?
Click on pic to find out
>>64121743
he appears a lot throughout,
there's not too much lore to know, really hes a recurring character thats with the military and helps the Doctor.
I would recommend Battlefield, his last appearance (with the 7th Doctor). or nearly any of the third Doctor stories for his status quo, hes in most of those.
>>64121743
The Invasion's his first major episode -- 10 part UNIT episode in the Second Doctor's era. A lot of it's missing, though there are animated reconstructions.
Doctor Who and the Silurians is seven parts and has a lot of him being at odds with the Doctor.
Inferno is great cos you've got Evil Brig. I'll say no more than that -- the episode's better discovered for yourself.
The Daemons is pretty damn good for him tooor so I've heard, I was never allowed to watch it as a kid and never did get round to it
He spends most of The Three Doctors being sarcastic and it's amazing.
Then there's Terror of the Zygons, Mawdryn Undead and Battlefield as Brig episodes post-UNIT era.

>>64123026
If we all stop being dipshits for 2 seconds.
From Series 1-5 the DVDs were released in smaller 'volumes' of a few episodes each, followed by complete box sets some time after the whole series had aired.
Series 6 was the first to be released in Part 1 and Part 2 form, echoing the split run, and was still followed by a complete box set some time later. Same goes for 7 IIRC. I don't think it happened to 8 though.
Regardless, partial series releases have indeed been around forever.

Because Doctor Who and its extremely hazy 'universe' remain an avenue for people to do their own idiosyncratic things, rather than be strung up to the heaving torso of a ravenous continuity behemoth in an attempt to create rabbit holes of gossip about a non-existent world.
>>64123667

All of those years!
>>64123742
Yeah but I would have liked one or two returning monsters not just cameos.
>>64123877
That was only in the premiere and they were there for 30 seconds each.
Davros had thousands of people killed but the Doctor says he's his friend.
>>64124092
>They could have reused one or two monsters from New Who and one or two locations.
but that's literally what they did
>>64124193
No they didn't, we saw the Judoons for 15 seconds.
>Accidentally skipped Sleep No More and went straight to Face The Raven
>Genuinely surprised by Clara's exit because I thought that was in the next episode
Damn, I must have been the only person in the UK to be surprised by that
Now I don't really want to go back and watch Sleep No More
Damn
What about an episode where the story is actually being written as it unfolds by someone and the Doctor has to break out of the writing?
Does anyone have the bingo sheet for the Christmas special? I'm curious if we got a bingo.
>>64124260
They already did that and it's called Red Dwarf: Back To Earth
>>64124256
it's shit
>>64124286
Fuck that series. I thought it was a joke.
Red Dwarf X was okay though.
>>64124281

Suddenly I want to rewatch the first part of Series 8, I haven't rewatched it.
The new writers are shit. I fucking got it. That's why I didn't like 8B and 9.
Mel a qt
>>64124390
Fucking annoying
>>64124385
Matthieson is not shit. Neither is Dollard.
Even Harness was kinda Ok for the most part, even though he does seem to keep inserting jarring morality in his story.
Please Moffat. Bring back Chibnall, Cross, Thompson and all the others from Series 5. Just do it.
>>64124454
Steve Thompson did Time Heist last year
>>64124454
>Chibnall
Fuck no
>>64124260
It's not exactly what you're thinking of, but I STRONGLY recommend you watch The Mind Robber.
>>64124449
The Girl Who Died was disappointing. I'll need more from Dollard to be convinced. Harness is a hack, it's Moffat who wrote the last 15 minutes of Inversion.
>>64124454
This is an absolutely prime bait
>>64124522
>it's Moffat who wrote the last 15 minutes of Inversion.
So it wasn't Harness who wrote absurd morality play this time? My opinion of him has grown.
>>64124390

>>64124554
Gr8 b8 m8
>>64124454
Chibnall is not that good, but he can write a good action story. Or even a SoL story, like Power of Three.
Cross wrote Hide, that was also pretty good.
>>64124485
I know and it was a good episode. He has to come back.
>>64124514
Fuck off at least his episodes were fun. None of Series 9 was except Husbands.
>>64124553
No it isn't.
>>64124554
Invasion was shit and anything apart from the speech in Inversion was meh.
Notice how everyone started to hate Doctor Who after Chris Chibnall stopped writing episodes.
>>64124656
Fuck off Chris.
>>64124614
You say it like "Just stand down and keep living under constant fear of exposure while your host will be complacently believing she can kill you all in a push of a button" was a good speech.
>>64124522
Why was the Girl Who Died disappointing to you?
>>64124614
Yeah if you like mediocre rubbish then sure his episodes were "fun". Lets bring back Stephen Greenhorn too!
>>64124522
>it's Moffat who wrote the last 15 minutes of Inversion.
So Harness wrote all the Clara vs Bonnie scenes, GOAT Basil reveal & scene in the shop? Hack where?
>>64124656
everybody always hated Doctor Who, it's a universal rule
we are /who/
>>64124614
>No it isn't.
Yes it is. "Chibnall, Cross, Thompson", it's like a laundry list of writers no-one gives a fuck about.
reminder
>>64124608
I agree but he's a comedy writer which Doctor Who seriously lacked this year. I would have taken a Chibnall script over Sleep No More.
Cross also wrote Akhaten which was good too.
>>64124706
No but it's what people remember of these episodes.
>>64124718
Wasn't as good as MOTOE, didn't know where to place itself between comedy and serious drama, downer ending that makes no sense,...
>>64124737
No he was total shit. Chibnall was at least funny.
Wait... was the set of the base from Last Christmas reused in Under the Lake?
>>64124826
>I wanted to see Taren Capel as a young man, find out how he turned into a robot fanatic.
>Steven said, 'You know what? I'd like an episode where we see the centre of the TARDIS.'
BRAVO MOFF
>>64123819
That face.
Oh, she's going to get it good and proper.
>>64124852
It's just that one guy who's always in here lamenting how series 9 had no fun and was too dark, it's unsurprising to learn they miss the likes of Thompson.
>>64124826
what the fuck man
then again I am kind of glad they didn't shit on robots of death
>>64124934
RTD COMING AT YOU!
>>64124852
I literally never wanted any edge/darkness in Doctor Who but I know it can always be funny so it has to find a good balance between fun and dark episodes, which Series 4, 5 and 7 succeeded. Series 9 was no fun allowed, there's not a single comedic episode.
>>64124783
They've been gone long enough and they actually write stories that are good in some parts (fun, emotion,...). They're not shit all around like Gatiss is.
>>64124614
>fun
This fanbase is so fucking indecisive.
First its
>I want my Who to be dark and edgy
Then
>Too much edge, i can't handle it!!
>I want my who to comfy and fun
Then
>This shits too juvenile we need moar edge!!
>I want my Who to be more Fantasy than Historic
Then
>HOLY FUCKING SHIT!! Why are there niggers and spics in Medieval Europe who cares about the Giant Lizard theres niggers and spic
>>64124959
It can't always be funny*
>>64124876
>>64124934
Hey journey had a good concept.
Its still Thompsons fault for fucking it up.
>>64124997

>>64124997
All these racist people are retarded. We need a balance between fun and dark.

>>64125098
g8 b8 m8
>>64125007
Sometimes I wonder, if Thompson was able to do the idea he was really passionate about, would he have produced something that wasn't so lame?
Then I remember that the idea he was passionate about was "reveal the backstory of The Robots of Death" and am reminded why Moffat doesn't trust him
>>64125113
SUCK THEM RIGHT NOW
>>64124997
Episode 1: Dark and funny
Episode 2: Dark and funny
Episode 3: Neutral
Episode 4-5: Dark
Episode 6: Funny
Episode 7: Dark but funny
Episode 8-9: Neutral
Episode 10: Dark
Episode 11: Romp
Episode 12-13: Dark but funny
This is the ideal layout of a series.
>>64123188
Pretty much. The partial releases are for people who just want the episodes now, kids, or folks who don't want to pay for the whole set.
>>64125108
The difference there is that Moffat doesn't actually write a prequel to Genesis of the Daleks. He makes up a new event in Davros' past (Davros is already a big figure in series history anyway) and has the story pivot on that instead. The connection to Genesis is mostly just thematic.
>>64125007
something like that should be saved for a bigger budget, its one of those things that really have to impress
>>64125213
Yeah, which pretty much supports my point that writing a prequel to a 30 year old episode is a bad idea
>>64125151
was Under the Lake really neutral?
>>64125268
>implying series 9 is the ideal series
>>64125249
Yeah you'd probably want this
Episode 1: Edgy
Episode 2: Dark
Episode 3: Dark
Episode 4-5: Dark
Episode 6: Edgy
Episode 7: Darkness on the Edge of Town
Episode 8-9: Edgy
Episode 10: Dark
Episode 11: Dark
Episode 12-13: Edgy
>>64125268
Series 9 wasn't the ideal series. The closest to this were Series 4 and 5.
12th is GOAT
Why is keeping Doctor Who from getting a proper budget?
I'm tired of these claustrophobic settings, there is so much room for creativity, but all of it is ruined by budget issues . . .
>>64125356
the BBC
>>64125356
I have good news for you. Next series will be done by BBC Studios funded by all the money Doctor who makes meaning its budget is gonna blow up like the universe in Series 5.
>>64125385
Isn't it their highest rated drama or something?
It must be pulling serious cash
>>64125415
that's not how the BBC works
it's government funded
>>64125311
that sounds pretty nice
i hope series 10 is darker than 9
the less fun the better :D
>>64125415
Yes but that cash goes back to fund everything and everyone at the BBC, not just Doctor Who. Until next year.
So did anyone here actually have feels for the ending of the episode? 12 doesn't put on the waterworks like other Doctors but you can feel the emotion behind his eyes. Despite some inconsistencies I thought the final scenes were great.
>>64125406
gr8 b8 m8
>>64125479
What if you jump from a cliff and die? Sounds pretty dark to me, you'll love it.
Why did River have a picture of War Doctor?
>>64125356
>I'm tired of these claustrophobic settings
Claustrophobic settings are good for having characters say and do things to each other, which has always been what Doctor Who is good at. Huge battles on sweeping vistas will never be its forté.
Go through a list of the greatest Doctor Who scenes and see how many of them are just characters talking in an unimpressively-sized room/set.

>>64125510
but then I won't be able to enjoy series 10 and see how dark it gets
series 9 had too much fun
we need more darkness
>>64125500
Yes. I still lose it a bit at 12 saying 24 years and River's reaction, followed by 'they lived happily'.
>>64125549
IT isn't a direct confirmation
But it is possible to extrapolate from this article your claims
Which is boss
>>64125603
Oh fuck off you're boring. Even more boring than dying Davros. Were you born boring? Your fucking meme isn't funny and I'll stick it up your arse.
>>64125614
I lose it when he said "Hello sweetie.", and when he's using the double entendre when he's talking about the towers, and in some way, himself and River.
>>64125661
>not liking davros
you sound very boring m8
>>64125607
But anon who cares what you won't be able to enjoy?
Mark Gatiss: “Steven’s asked me if I’ll write a sequel [to ‘Sleep No More’] – I’ll see if I can do that. If I can think of one, I would certainly like to do it, because I think the idea is good and the monsters are great.”
>>64125731
that was before everyone hated the first episode
>>64125693
Yeah but go back and pinpoint the exact moment where I've asked the opinion of a boring bitch, you fat whore.
>>64125781
When did you last ask your mother for something?
>>64125756
Has there been any official comment on the episode post release?
Either way, I lol'd at "the idea is good and the monsters are great."
>>64125731
I would like someone to identify one distinctive aspect about the monsters from that episode other than 'they are made of dust'.
Sarah Dollard: "I'm actually writing another episode for next series. It will involve pirates in a space nebula... made of clouds! It's gonna be a funny episode, well, couldn't very well write another serious episode after Face the Raven, could I? It's great because I'm gonna write for two new companions - whoops, I've already said too much!"
12 is in the last movie you watched
how does it go
>Casino Royale
there's going to be a lot of showing off and being annoyed at the other's presence
>>64125822
The idea WAS good.
A signal that turns you into a monster and monster leader is using footage of his own antics to transmit it. How cool is that?
The realization - not so much. Boring characters, absurd biobabble. Also poor lighting.
>>64125850
>>64125821
Pathetic samefag, don't get all salty, there's no need really, just off yourself and jump from a bridge :)

It's like Into the Dalek, but the Doctor is explored instead.

That's the only way she could have known that 11th was his last face. Thus, she didn't even consider Capaldi.
>>64126002
>meme

Everyone who thinks Doctor Who shouldn't be fun should just jump from a bridge.
>>64125892
>The Force Awakens
He accidentally lands on Starkiller Base and works to disable it once he figures out what it does. He runs into Kylo Ren and gives him a big speech about how he's a tiny, weak child in a mask playing monster. He thinks the storm troopers are ridiculous and likens the First Order to Daleks or Cybermen. He's also secondarily trying to figure out what the Force REALLY is and discovers it's some ancient alien technology and not actually mystical or magical in any way.
>>64125931
>just off yourself and jump from a bridge
Maybe he's wondering why someone would off themselves BEFORE jumping from a bridge.
>>64125892
I don't remember. I think the last thing I watched was a movie starring Maisie Williams, in preparation to Girl Who Died.
So, uhm, he meets Ashildr who for some reason instigate mass histeria in all-girls school?

Yes, and when they hit the ground they will disperse into the pile of straw from which you assembled them.

Oh, and people think he's a Jedi master because of his sonic screwdriver being able to do Forcelike things, but he gets REALLY annoyed at people calling him that.
>>64126097
>being this autistic
>>64126171
No one cares what he's wondering. But if that helps, he'd off himself BY jumping from a bridge. Jesus Christ.
>>64126201
I'm not samefagging they're just literally retards.
>>64126222
Jump from a bridge.
>>64126262
Stop samefagging you're making a fool of yourself.
>>64126097
It should but not all the time, some people here want Doctor who to be a sitcom
>>64126315
You don't know when to stop, do you?
>>64126353
He'll never stop, he's the oncoming storm.
>>64126350
Like I said we need balance. Series 9 wasn't balanced at all.
>>64126353
>>64126388
You never know when to stop samefagging do you? Jump from a bridge.
>>64126315
>I'm not samefagging they're just literally retards.
That's not what straw man means. A straw man is when you take a position you disagree with (example: "It's fine for Doctor Who to be bleak and scary") and exaggerate it absurdly (example: "Doctor Who shouldn't be fun!") so that it can be easily pushed over, a bit like making a dummy out of straw.
The Next Doctor really is shit. Jesus Christ. What was RTD thinking?
>>64126433
nice autism
>>64126500
The Two Doctors, the next torchwood! wink wink!
>>64126500
What a waste of David Morrissey imo.
He actually would have made a great real doctor.
>>64126483
Oh I get it... but seriously. I've seen people saying I should watch something else because "Doctor Who isn't a comedy" when I said Series 9 should have had one funny episode. They were dead serious.
>>64126526
Yeah you really are retarded.

>>64126639
Would have been better. What kind of logic would make you type "would of"?
>>64126683
Fuck off, that was literally autism. I suggested one funny episode and someone went "Doctor Who isn't a comedy series go watch a comedy movie" and they were serious, we even talked for 30 minutes or so.

>>64126751

Doctor Who is supposed to be fun and contain jokes, but it should not abandon logical plotting or plausibility.
>>64126760
>at least stay consistent
He uses his sunglasses (which you look at things with) to look at things. Seems logical to me
I honestly am surprised every year by how Moffat and the others get creative about new Dalek stories.
>>64126784
This I agree. But when the story is dead serious and doesn't make any sense there's nothing good that comes out of it. At least the funny episode is fun, even if it doesn't make any sense.
>>64126818
So do I. I wonder what they'll do next year.
>>64126818
I'm not sure if you are being serious or not, but I give them that. Beats RTD and his swarms of saltshakers once a year.
>>64126899
i'm glad finales stopped being "daleks invade everyone" again. at least hell bent was different.
Amy's Choice had me stopping the episode and going back to make sure if it was the good episode because I thought I had missed lots of episodes as Amy was pregnant and all. Twice.
>>64126974
It Was All A Dream©
>>64127039
I know but I stopped it after they said "it's been 5 years!".
Doctor Who doesn't have bad ideas, just bad execution.
Except Love and Monsters, that one was just unsalvageable.
WHERE IS THE NEW THREADAH?!
>>64127121
The idea was good. The humour was crappy and the story seems to be very disdainful of Doctor Who fandom, jarringly.
It ended up too horrifying to laugh, and too silly to actually be thrilled or scared, at least for me.
I just found a leaked clip from Series 10 that includes the new companions (yes, plural): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfffDnA17AM
Thoughts?
>>64127224
what
>>64127189
No I'm sorry but the idea was shit. People looking for an alien guy, spying on his companion's mother, stealing from her and then being recruited by another alien who farts and absorbs people leaving their living faces all over his body? I'm sorry but no, just no.
