Series 2 is pigshit and the worst of NuWho
Last Shit >>64141939
>>64153799
but that's not season 9
>two thousand and fifteen
>no sound webms
>pigshit
no
>worst of nuwho
yeah
A 24 year repeat of Love And Monsters, Fear Her, Sleep No More, The Curse of the Black Spot, Power of Three, Night Terrors, and Kill The Moon, running constantly with no bathroom breaks, would still be preferable to channel surfing and happening to come across a few stray frames of any Sixth Doctor episode.
>>64153857
But season 2 was 50 years ago anon
>>64153857
I know. I wasn't talking about S9.
I was talking about S2. The worst of NuWho.

>Guitar playing all season

This whole season was shit except Heaven Sent.
>>64153799
why are her lips so big
>>64149289
Without a doubt the worst "potential companion" ever. Would rather have five years of Ashildr than that shit.

Fuck off back to the Hive, "Colin Baker? More like Colon Baker amirite?" fag.
>>64149289
That .gif made me cry.
>>64153952
I kind of liked her but I don't understand at all why so many people wanted her to become the companion. She wasn't anything special. I mean she barely even had any scenes with Capaldi in the episode. Weird.
>>64153915

>>64154032
But did she forgive dave? Moff can't just leave a plot thread like that hanging
>>64153984
Well meme'd my friend.
Hating Sleep No More is sign of a true pleb.
>>64154085

It's a dumb as fuck filler episode is all it is.
Liking Doctor Who is sign of a true pleb.
Listening to the Diary of River Song right now. Surprisingly good. Like proper good, not just competent like unit extinction. River is actually "cool" and not forced in it.

>>64154236
RTD is who I hate, not 10
re-watched all of Clara episodes a few weeks ago.
honestly not bad. Some terrible episodes, but they were just like the cheezy ones of old. They just don't translate well with the more serious route Dr Who eventually took in series 6
>>64154251
She does.
CONS
*river already had a musical theme, one of marigold's better works, and BF already have a decent relationship with marigold so they should have just got approval to use the cue then arrange it into a proper theme tune
*the brass is a bit shrill, might just be my headphones though
PROS
*actually has an identifiable, hummable melody (huehuehue)
*has more than one section, isn't just the same melody repeated differently ie it has a kind of "middle eight" equivalent
>>64153579
>McGann pretty much reduced to a supporting character in his own series, and in a special anniversary story to boot
>"Zagreus", the thing that had been hyped up and foreshadowed for the last two years, does nothing but run around the TARDIS shouting very loudly
>the story was promoted as a multi-doctor story, but there's only one little scene where Davison, Baker and McCoy are playing the Doctor
>Rassilon reduced to a generic ranting bad guy
>the badly executed “the Vampires weren't bad guys, it was the Time Lords!" retcon
>that scene where McGann talks to an almost incomprehensible recording of Jon Pertwee for no good reason
>being far too long
There are parts of Zagreus that I enjoy, especially the bit with the theme park in the future. As anniversary stories go, I still prefer it to The Light at the End.
But I can't blame the people who just find it awful.
>>64154236
10 used to be my favorite but on further rewatches he seems rather bipolar and melodramatic a lot of the time. Not sure why other people would dislike him though, can't speak for everyone.
>>64154380
I actually LOVE the Rassilon of Zagreus through to The Next Life, but I forget what parts are in what so maybe he wasn't that interesting in Zagreus itself.
Don Warrington is easily my favourite Rassilon.
>>64154380
>Rassilon reduced to a generic ranting bad guy
So that's where Moffat got the idea from.
is it true that zagreus almost made mcgann quit big finish?
>>64154380
>As anniversary stories go, I still prefer it to The Light at the End.
Damn, brutal.
>>64154587
No, it was the stuff after the divergent universe arc, which McGann contemplated quitting as the stories were pretty average. Then came the New Eighth Doctor Adventures which McGann loved.
>>64154146
I guess I like it when Who tries something different even when it fails.
>>64154648
Can you source this info? I believe you but I'd like to read more. If you have any more big finish gossip too I'd love to hear it.
The "24 years" gets me every single time. Can't stop crying.
>>64154113
source or fuck off
>>64154380
>the story was promoted as a multi-doctor story, but there's only one little scene where Davison, Baker and McCoy are playing the Doctor
They're playing distorted aspects of the Doctor's psyche in a way that blurs the lines between reality and memory. I found this quite effective. Something similar would be a perfect way to do a big multi-Doctor story with the older actors on-screen too.
Has the broadcast date for the next Christmas Special been announced yet?
BASEMENT MCGANN!
>>64154771
I'm sorry, I cannot. I just remember reading it somewhere, may have been Gallifrey Base.

>>64155456
Looks better than any episode in last 2 seasons.
>>64155456
this is fan made, right?
No one in their right mind would officialy release this.
>>64154551
Warrington is great, but I can't say I enjoyed the way Rassilon was written. BF just stripped the mythical element from him and reduced him to a generic evil scientist/would-be space dictator. Which I suppose could be done in an interesting way, but it wasn't in Zagreus.
>>64154577
It actilually wouldn't surprise me. The way Rassilon gets sent away and ridiculed in Hell Bent reminded me a lot of the ending of Warrington's other BF story, The Next Life.
Okay book fans, what story should I read next? I've already read Illegal alien and touch of an angel.
>>64155588
I've re-watched a few matt smith with river song eps tonight.. two companions works better than just clalalal.
Can we all agree 11th had a better run than 12?
At least there are some things happened.
12's run feels like just 2 seasons to kill off Cara
>>64155663
Im guessing so but you never fucking tell after all this time.
>>64155766
>2 seasons to kill off Clala
didn't even manage that
>>64155676
I thought the whole "selectively engineer species that look like time lords to survive and vice versa" thing was very mythical and godly but I do get what you're saying.
What stories do you find to best show rassilons mythical elements?
>>64155766
>Can we all agree 11th had a better run than 12?
no.
>>64155766
i do think 12s time was monopolised by her, which is another reason I want him to do a long run.
with hopefully at least 3 more series we might get 2 or 3 tardis teams before he leaves.
>>64155766
Only S5 was good though.
S6 had a couple of good episodes inside that awful arc and S7 was just forgettable nothing.

It was in the midst of the Divergent Universe stuff. Briggs talked about this in DWM circa Night.
The proposal of the EDAs was what revived his enthusiasm.

By this point in 11s run he'd had one GOAT series and one clusterfuck. 12 has had two good ones.
>>64156163
>12 has had one good and one meh
"The Teselecta. It was used to locate people deemed guilty of crimes who had escaped punishment. After finding them near the end of their respective timelines to avoid changing history, the crew would administer their own punishment, usually in the form of some non-lethal, painful torture. Afterwards they could die in the manner recorded by history."
Oh so Moffit just stole that idea for hell bent. What a cock.
THE DOCTOR:
>Because Christmas, it's not just any party. It's not even about the presents, and no, it's absolutely not about religion. It's about family. And not strictly speaking either. It's about people gathering together, sharing a moment of happiness. It's a party, once a year, every year, that warms the heart of every single person, filling them with laughter, enjoyment, optimism, love. But you've robbed everyone of their memory of Christmas. You stole it from all these children, because everyone was a child, no one was born an adult. Everyone loved Christmas when they were a child, and they still do. You've robbed every human of the joy they felt all these Christmas past, and tomorrow they won't even celebrate it because they forgot about it entirely. Well guess what? If you're the man who stole Christmas, then I'll be the man who saved Christmas. And I'm going to save it now.
Did I get 12 right?
Series 2 was okay overall, but I think series 3 is when things really took off for the 10th doctor.
>>64156363
What?
>>64156372
Things never really took off for Tennant. I guess Series 4 would qualify but it crashed as soon as The Next Doctor aired.
>>64156414
Nah. It crashed when Rose came back.
>>64156414
>Things never took off for Tennant
>>64156406
Its basically what the Doctor did for Clara http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Teselecta
>>64156455
He's right though.
>>64156414
You're telling me you didn't like gridlock, blink, 42, human nature/ the family of blood, utopia ?
>>64156371
Lines and scenario worthy of Luke Newman
>>64156440
The only problem I had with that two parter was rose, her constant bitching of "Oh what about me doctor? Remember I was a thing?"
So considering the Doctor used both his new screwdriver and the sonic shades, will he use both equally from now on, or was this more of a transition?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>64156581
>falling for fake rumors
>>64156458
Not really. The Teselecta just pop up in a robot suit to torture you before you die. The Time Lords actually extract you from time itself at the instant of your death, freezing your bodily processes, before quickly putting you back so as to avoid changing time. I mean Moff probably did borrow this from somewhere, but it wasn't a repeat of Let's Kill Hitler.

I can't bring myself to care. Come back when Moffat is actually leaving presently.
>>64156619
>>tfw Capaldi is leaving next series too
That would be so fucking depressing. I want to see a series with 12 handled by a different showrunner. Capaldi and his Doctor have SO MUCH potential, and Moffat wastes it all.
It's gonna go like that.
Chibnall > Harness > Whithouse > Mathieson
Gatiss will never be showrunner hahahaha
>>64155849
He was great in the few scenes he had in The Five Doctors, especially when punishing Borusa.
In a Fifth Doctor comic from the Eighties, The Tides of Time, he's shown to have evolved beyond his physical form, and he lives in the Matrix monitoring Time with other High Evolutionaries.
Unpopular as it is, I loved him in The End of Time. I thought the idea of introducing him as a mysterious narrator worked very well, the Time Lords' powers were suitably impressive and Dalton absolutely rocked it when he wasn't spitting too much.
There was also his brief appearance in Alan Moore's comic Star Death, pic related.
When will someone upload the River audios to MEGA?
>>64156733
That's just a fake rumor.
>I want to see a series with 12 handled by a different showrunner. Capaldi and his Doctor have SO MUCH potential, and Moffat wastes it all.
Like what?I love Capaldi and he's my favorite doctor but I can't really think of what else he could show us acting wise. But I mean we literally just got an episode with 55 minutes of nothing but Capaldinos.
reminder that next companion breaks FX budget
>>64156823
>Like what
more episodes like into the dalek in terms of characterization. I really liked how cold and alien he was, but he was still saving the day
>>64156823
S10E11 should be 12 facing 12 other versions of him that act like all the previous Doctors. Then we'll have seen all his range.
>>64156801

Did anyone else not really like the Christmas special as a Christmas special? It was a good River/Doctor special, but nothing felt Christmassy about it. There's a sign about carolers on the TARDIS and the Doctor gets antlers, but that's literally it. Take those two bits out and release this in February and it wouldn't feel wrong at all. Other Christmas specials would actually feel out of place released any other time of year.
>>64157129
weren't RTD christmas specials like that?
>>64154113
Source, scum.
>>64157129
It's a fair criticism, but it's not exactly unusual. The only Christmas specials that are about Christmas are A Christmas Carol and The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe.
The Christmas Invasion and Last Christmas also feature Christmassy elements very prominently, but that's about it. Pretty much every other Christmas episode is similar to Husbands in that regard.
>>64157129
I'm glad there is varying amount of how Christmasy a special can be.
What if RTD returns as show-runner? Wouldn't we get to live a golden age again?
Then Moffat can go back to writing single stories that are Blink tier.

Do you think in the future people still call them "may-mays" and there just like "Come on already!"
when people claim that Capaldi has potential what exactly do they mean?
do they mean isolated stories?
or do they imagine some great arc for him?
>>64157129
I didn't really think it was a good episode full stop. It wasn't even a River/Doctor special as much as it was a River special. It was all about her. After writing Clara out in the finale I wanted to see 12 really take the focus but instead we got an episode of The River Song Adventures with 12 as her companion. It was Moffat trying to salvage her shit storyline as he wrote her out and it's obvious he thought this was gonna be his last series and Christmas special.
Makes me wonder what Moffat will come up with for series 10 since he seems out of ideas and now he's sort of written the show into a clean slate.
>>64158232
people don't know what they want
>>64158291
>he seems out of ideas
Nice Meme
>>64158232
They mean they want to continue hating Moffat but are afraid of it sounding like they're bashing Lord Capaldick
>>64158232
It means Capaldi's characterization of the Doctor is great and he's an excellent actor, but Moffat's "clever" meme writing is bad. We want a showrunner who will help Capaldi shine instead of taking backseats to "most important person in the world" companions and cuckolding wives.
>>64158291
>After writing Clara out in the finale I wanted to see 12 really take the focus
Are you one of those people that complained about Clara have no character development in S7 but then complained about S8 being Clara Who?
>>64158546
there was no character development in s8 and s9 either, moffag just changed the character from episode to episode, as it was comfortable and easy for him
>>64158606
Not him, but it's been Clara Who for longer than just S8.
>>64158575
Take a classic story for example, the time meddler, The doctor was barely in that for most of it. The doctor doesn't need to be the center of attention 24/7, even the original writers knew this.
>>64158341
He does to me. As far as grand scheme ideas go anyway. I loved Listen, and some of 12 and Clara's character stuff in S8, and a few scenes here and there in his S9 stuff and all of Heaven Sent but he dropped the ball a bit with the character development in S9 and he ran out of ideas for arcs since way back in S7, he should just ditch arcs completely instead if pushing these half assed ones. Doesn't help that most of the writers he hires are stale and uninspiring either.
>not realising that Clara Who was better than literally any previous season
>>64158628
>no character development in s8 and s9 either
Are we even watching the same show?
She didn't even have character in s7. TOTD was literally the first time we saw who she was
>>64158711
she was different in every episode m8, like, SERIOUSLY DIFFERENT
watch closely next time and you may notice
shitty series except for heaven sent. thet one is rewatchable but not a perfect episode either.
not that S08 was much better...
at least this christmas special was fun

>Clara Who

>>64158874
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4h8NmjpiY1M
>>64158606
No, I liked S8 and her characterization, and actually didn't like how sidelined she was in S9 since it didn't really result in 12 getting any particularly interesting development in S9 or increased focus aside from Heaven Sent and maybe a few other scenes like his speech in The Zygon Inversion. The last 3 episodes of S9 kind of turned this around but understandably centered around the companion departure and after all of that I was looking forward to seeing 12 'be a Doctor'. A good one off special with a standalone story and guest characters would have been ideal for that and for Christmas but instead we got an uneccesary callback to previous series 5 & 6 plotlines from other Doctors eras and River taking centre stage.

http://doctorwhogeneral.wikia.com/wiki/The_Bedding_of_River_Song
lololol
>>64158984
So much of this is good, but it's interspersed with so much bad.
Obviously the pop songs used are fucking terrible and ruin the mood. But I also think the Master should have been old and that would have been more motivation for him to make the Doctor look old to spite him. Maybe even drain the Doctor's life force to make himself look young.
So many good ideas existed in this finale, but the execution was fucking shit and we got Gollum Jesus Doctor and mood-ruining pop singles out of it.
>>64159672
I hate how he just ages 10 with his sonic. Not even some interesting machine he built or anything else. Just a fucking sonic. Lazy.
>>64159878
he does say he used the technology from the Lazerus experiment. its something I guess
>>64159931

>>64160023
I won't stop you
does anybody else get the feeling that Moffat has a huge fetish for women crying?
also Clara is a race mixing sloot
>>64159878
Yeah, that, too. But again, if he captured the Doctor and shoved him in a machine that made the Master young and the Doctor old it would have actually been compelling. It would have been part of the Master taking everything away from the Doctor, while also showing a hint of jealousy within his resentment.
>>64154236
I don't hate 10. He was pretty good when the writing was up to snuff, and Tennant can really carry an awful episode most of the time. When it's a good episode with him it's really good.
>>64160023
>I could stop you
Forgive me /who/ for I have sinned.
>>64160574
Holy shit, I don't remember it being that silly. What was exactly did the director tell Tennant to do in that scene?
>"Just act like you're having a manic fit"
>>64160664
I remember reading the actors had to shake their heads slowly for like 5 fucking minutes straight and then they sped it up to do the senes in End Of Time when Simm takes over everyone. Could be similar here.

>>64160879
feels bad man
also I feel a DS9 rewatch coming on
>>64160967
What the hell is that
>>64160967
I don't get this. So that's what 10 would look if all 900 years were shown physically? Would he not die from old age? How was he still alive at all?
>>64161057
I'm just going to imagine the Master uses magic to turn him into a house elf. Otherwise it doesn't make much since. 4 got aged heavily in Leisure Hive and didn't shrink into a tiny goblin creature and 11 nearly aged to death and didn't look like that either.
>>64161057
Tennant said in the commentary that that's the doctor looks like when he gets old when Freema is confused and asks him about it. I guess that was the intention. Bravo Russell.
>>64161337
Its ok. TOTD retconned it forever.
>>64161387
Maybe it was due to artificial aging versus natural aging which 11 did during his time on Trenzalore.
>>64161337
My head canon is that 11 was in his last body so he had a longer lifespan looking like that and aged naturally. Also, my head canon is that Missy accelerated 10's molecules and made him age artificially creating this atrocity. But then again I think this episode is shit.
>There was a girl named Alice who was separated from her world and cried a lake of tears. I never cry.
What the fuck River? That doesn't make any sense.
ONLY THE CAPALDI ERA IS CANON
Holy shit River's opening theme is GOAT!

We love Tennant, we just hate 10
Which one of you writes/reads Doctor Who fan fiction?
Will it help me get over the break between seasons?
>>64161808
Hey, don't speak for everyone. I liked 10, but I hated a lot of his episodes.
Am I autistic for finding Marthas last scene with 10 in S3 awful.
>>64161718
/tv/ doesn't hate him that much, it's only /who/.
Whenever a Doctor Who thread that isn't a /who/ general pops up, Smith generally comes across as the most disliked.
Make of that what you will.
>>64161718
I don't hate him. I think he's decent. But hecould have been SO MUCH MORE!
>>64161843
I'm rewriting series 9 but I think there's too much fun for you guys.
>>64161865
I liked it.
>>64161843
You shouldtorrentsome Big Finish audios and use that to tide you over. Much better than online fan fictions. I recommend the Eighth Doctor Adventure series to start.
>>64161843
I always wanted to write something but I'm too lazy to type stuff long enough to be passable as non-smut.
>>64161874
Smith is probably the next best Doctor after Capaldi.
>>64161874
IIRC /tv/ was anti 10/RTD before the generals during the first few years of moffats run
dunno what happened after that though since I left for a long time
>>64161865
No, I think it's not bad myself but it came way too late and is a bit melodramatic. Especially compared to all the shit she's just been through it's just silly that her biggest beef is still that Doctor senpai didn't notice her and she realizes that she's a strong black woman who don't need no Time Lord.

I like your thinking, sir

I think all that means is that the more casual viewers loved Tennant and hated the guy who "killed" 10 (I don't wanna go)
>>64162181
anytime I see a non /who/ thread they all say they stopped watching after tennant
>>64162180
Will you quit watching when the progeny of Tennant and Davison's daughter becomes the 20th Doctor?
>9 enjoyed his brief time and expressed it in his final words

Everything. The Doctor; Clara and Missy are now being researched throughout the universe because someone put a bounty on their heads.

>>64162274
i personally believe that episode is one of the reasons there's such a huge rtd/moffat schism in the fanbase. that episode was like a fuck you to the next era.
>>64161843
I'd like to write some original flavour stories, but I can never decide which Doctor to use and if I want to bother do them big finish style, as in writing in a way that comfortably glues with canon.
>>64162224
a lot did because End of Time works as a finale to NuWho up to that point and if that's the only Who you know it's basically like any other show's finale. Most shows don't go through a complete cast change and a head writer change at the same time.
Big Finish is saving River Song and there's nothing you can do about it.

People would have to be pretty damn autistic to hate Smith because of that one sentence.

>People would have to be pretty damn autistic to hate Smith because of that one sentence.
Sweetheart, you've just defined Tennant fangirls.
>>64161718
I really like Tennant honestly
he always felt so natural in the role
like it was sacred to him or something
Smith was like the opposite of that to me
I especially disliked the over-exaggerated physicality he brought
Daphnee is so going to die isn't she?
should I make a tenth doctor rain gif?
might be funny and we never use the original anyways
>>64162396
Whatever you say m8. As long as I don't have to put up with her anymore it's all good.
>>64162274
9 had to regenarate because of his own choices
10 was forced to do that to save a senile old retard
>>64162481
Yep that's it. A fucking fly went and ate her eye before the full swarm ate her.
>>64162498

OUT
>>64162483
There's already a million versions if you Google it. I saw that gif a lot before I ever watched any Doctor Who.
>>64162498
They were literally in the same situation. Gave their lives to save a companion, even though they didn't have to.
>>64162535
i wasn't clear
/who/ made a blank template of the rain scene a few years back and we've been adding random dcotor who characters to it ever since
i thought making one of 10 since the original was 10 would be funny
>>64162498
please do not speak that way about based Wilf
>>64162406
I guess you haven't been reading Facebook or YouTube comments where all the normies have been screaming Bring Back Tennant since 2010.
I might be going to this

Now River's dancin'!
Oh no actually, because she's married.
>>64162594
Oh you mean a different shot of 10 standing in the rain instead if his original rain gif? That would be funny.

Blaming it all on a couple of lines from his final episode seems more than a bit exaggerated though.

River's smelling a dead body. Actually no, she isn't.
>>64162938
You know what? I would.
>>64162742
I was just first exploring good TV and movies as a teenager because I was sheltered as a kid, so my taste was unrefined. I remember thinking the Doctor shrinking down was a bit silly, but re-watching these webms I'm just horrified with how obviously bad every frame of every scene truly is. I feel like I should go back and re-watch all of NuWho to see what I think of it now.
>>64161939
Oh fuck off you delusional faggot.
River's trapped with a fucking zombie Daphnee asking for water. This is creeping me out.
Though she gives no fuck that she died, she sounds like a sassy female 12.
>>64163218
Its true
>>64163218
Haha off yourself by jumping from a bridge you retard.
>>64162389
Everyone I know IRL who stopped watching did it because the tone and pacing completely changed and thought it became boring as shit. It's not a matter of people not giving it a chance after EoT. People did, and a lot of them didn't like it,
I gave up on Doctor Who when he got married and the super special female character turned out to be even more super special.
The audios are actually good m8s.
>>64163340
You're not funny
>>64163340
Yeah, OK. But what are you doing here?
>>64163340
I gave up on Doctor Who when he got engaged. Over the line!
>River already has her sonic trowel
Nice. Moffat probably had a hand on this.
>>64163340
>he hasn't watched capaldi
I'm laughing at people who say they love Capaldi and were hooked by Tennant's era but hate Smith.
Like they would have waded through 4 years of shit after Tennant. Just kill yourselves and get a proper opinion.
>>64163375
that one was already used awhile back

I don't understand this post.
This episode is literally "Don't sweat!".
I love it
>>64163472
Don't underestimate Doctor Who fans' capacity to watch Doctor Who while committedly hating it.
>>64163366
We know. Stop liveposting. Those who have heard the audios know already. Those who haven't either don't care or are getting spoiled by you.
This is not a livethread for an episode where we can all shitpost to our heart's content about what is going on onscreen.
>>64163489
together!?

Well, River was not heard from for 2 series, only showed now and was less obnoxious despite taking a spot in opening credits. Consider rejoining Capaldi era?

>waded through 4 years of shit
It's an hour a week for a quarter of the year. I've said it before and seen others say the same, but I really do just watch out of tradition at this point, and for the rare decent episode. I don't think the Capaldi era is any better either, I just think HE isn't as underwhelming as Smith.
>>64163674
It all went to shitter during Lambert era.
RIVER AND THAT GUY ARE HAVING SEX THE DOCTOR IS GETTING KEKED AGAIN
>>64163559
"wolfpaw" on GB is possibly the worst i've ever seen
he hates literally everything, I mean literally everything. i've never seen him once post a positive comment about the show. i even checked his post history to find one and couldn't. just nothing but moaning.
>>64163703
just stop watching m8
its obviously time for you
>>64163703
But... what the hell can you possibly prefer in Tennant's era that Peter and Matt don't have?
>>64163729
He's a troll account.

>he's been wading through 6 years of shit out of habit
That's not an addiction that's sadism. Why would you do that to yourself now?
Hey /who/. I'm searching for a pic I saw here 2 or 3 times. It features a girl posing in front of a TARDIS. The notable thing is that the girl is dressed like a woman from the sixties. I hope that's enough of a description.
Anyway, haven't been here since this summer. Didn't want to go through on-season shitposting. Did you guys enjoy Series 9?
>>64163801
Husbands was comfy. Power of Three was comfy. Lots more too.
>>64163815
Oh he is, trust me.
>>64163798

>>64163534
He's saying that if you are still watching then you can't have hated Smith.
It's basically an evolved version of the shitposts about people who dislike the show just being contrarians for the sake of it, because if they are still watching they can't dislike it that much.
The obvious flaws in his argument are:
A) Yes, sometimes people stick with a show even if it's currently shit because they hope it will get better again. This is especially true of Doctor Who fans, since they know how radically the show can change from one season to the next.
B) People might have stopped watching during Smith's run, then started again when they heard there was a new Doctor onboard, and found him more to their liking.
so 2016 is being dominated by Big Finish and we most likely won't get Series 10 next year
goody
>>64163837
I thought it was pretty good.
Everyone seems rather decisive and shitflingly about it though. The dust has not settled.
>>64163827
I'm not wading though anything, as I've already stated it's an hour a week for 13 weeks each year. It's nothing.
Don't mind me, just being the best Doctor Who audio story.
>>64163927
>Big Finish a decade before it was Big Finish
>>64163907
But you haven't enjoyed it in 6 years. What's the point in continuing?
>>64163876
A) But people have been hating the show for 6 years. I mean a year or two, maybe three, but 6? They should just move on.
B) But then they went and rewatched Smith's era to say it's shit. Or worse: they stopped halfway in and didn't bother watching the rest because it's shit without knowing if it is because they didn't watch it.
How many Nimon have you seen today, /who/?
>>64163927
Well, it's certainly one of the best BBC Doctor Who audio plays.
However, that's not saying much, as there are only about half a dozen of those and they're all bad, apart from Death Comes To Time.
>>64163972
I hold on to the slight glimmer of hope that someone good will take over again, and I don't want to have to binge however many fucking years of this shit over a small period of time. Then it really WOULD feel like "wading", and I would probably end up skipping most of it.

Man, audios are GOAT. I put headphones on, close my eyes and picture what's happening. Never really worked before because I'm unfamiliar with 1-8, but River is in my comfort zone. This is so great. I can't wait for 10/Donna and 11/Amy.
>>64164067
Why? It's not like every hour of my day is packed, 45 minutes watching Doctor Who is probably just 45 less minutes of shitposting or aimless thought.
>>64162594
Holy shit that's hilarious
>>64163987
>But then they went and rewatched Smith's era to say it's shit. Or worse: they stopped halfway in and didn't bother watching the rest because it's shit without knowing if it is because they didn't watch it.
So basically nobody can ever say that a particular era of Doctor Who is shit, because if they watched it all they are to blame for sitting through something they dislike, and if they stopped watching when they had enough of it they can't express any judgement?
>>64164194
Oh they can in the first case, but only if they prove their point.

Watched TOTD with family in 2013, and that was fucking awful. Think we watched Eastenders or some shit afterwards, and it was legitimately more interesting.
I can't stomach Downton Abbey for the life of me though, bravo on that.

That's because Doctor Who isn't great drama. It never was.
It's a simple adventure show, and that's its blessing. That's why we like it. That's why it's so successful, and why it's still alive long after other, better shows have died.
However, that is also its curse. It can't be as good as many of the shows that have been born, lived and died during its course.
