/WHO/ LIVES and neonvisual is a twat edition

first for I want to fuck Billie
Is there too much focus on the personal lives of the companions, or not enough? Do personal, including those of the Doctor, his muddled, constantly being added to past, really matter in this type of show at all?
>>64186217
The companion is important because they are an audience surrogate and the doctor needs to keep an air of mystery around him
Crashing this spaceship
>>64186217
What are you talking about? I couldn't watch doctor who unless we learned that inner city black child #5 learns the value of an education
>>64186345
Don't get me wrong, I love that too. But is DW getting too soapy? And too talky? Discuss. Or shit post.
>>64186123
She only wants to fuck Kermit.
>>64186462
Yeah, less talking, more sex.
>>64186509
Sounds a plan.
I kinda wonder if River ever interacted with any of the older doctors given that she's got a roll of photos of the lot of them
>>64186642
It's been a while since I've seen her debut, but Ten didn't recognise her in the Library did he? Maybe she indirectly interacted with his past versions?
Is Capaldi doctor a cuck?
>>64186706
Oh right. Yeah, you're right about that
bernice summerfield blacked when
>>64186725
He met several men that had porked his dumb Jewish wife into oblivion, of course he is.
>>64186642
I think one of the video games said that she met them all at one point or another, but wiped their memories.
Who knows if it's canon though?
>>64186509
Wiggle room?
>>64186807
Speaking of Canon, it fascinates me how different franchises address the issue of canon.
Like because Star Wars had the "everything with the label is canon" attitude, the EU just got tremendously gunked up with a lot of shit. Star Trek on the other hand just went with "Only the TV episodes and movies are canon, the rest is irrelevant".
And it seems like Doctor Who is taking the old Star Wars approach, but also with a "who gives a shit" attitude towards canon.
Just a thought.
>>64186807
>river song has met Billy Harts
Sacrilegious 2bh fám. Though I wouldn't mind the banter.
>Oh, you're Jewish AND have an interest in women? Well I'm sorry my dear, but I don't think you're any wife of mine. And please don't touch my granddaughter, who knows where your hands have been.
DIARY OF RIVER SONG QUESTIONS
River has the sonic trowel in the first story, putting it pre husbands (presumably premanhattan too, post series 6 stuff though)
yet in the second story she inexplicably actually has her screwdriver
mistake, or am i just not understanding the timeline?
>>64186846
That's a room in the diner for wiggling. Clara takes the orders and Me's on the menu.
>literally doctor who poo in ta loo
dr hoop is shit.
ben10 is men
>>64186920
I think the biggest thing stopping me from liking Me is the fact that the actress' face looks so... compressed.
>>64186732
She was fucked by a dog-like alien and had to raise his son as a single mother. It's close enough.
>>64186883
>le Hartnell was an antisemitic homiphobe meme
>>64186987
Now there's a pretty meme.
>>64186987
You're right, he was even more than just that.
>>64186887
Mistake, probably.
Maybe she's just realized how ridiculous "sonic trowel" sounds and just tells people it's a screwdriver now.
They need to make the TARDIS desktop white again. The dark desktop where you can't see anything is boring. Get rid of the stupid Star Trek consoles. Most of the time he only uses the mechanical controls anyway.
>>64187107
But it makes the TARDIS feel more wacky and full, Anon.

>>64187052
would it be pathetic to e-mail big finish and ask them to clarify? its really bugging me
>>64187139
full of shit crust columns and pointless lights
>>64187159
I don't think there's anything pathetic about it, but I don't know if you'd get a response.
>>64187159
Don't they have a forum to talk about these things and ask the writers?
>>64187194
No, the official forums were shut down months back
>>64187179
The enquires e-mail is pretty nice, I e-mailed them a while back just out of curiosity as to whether they have the rights for Marigold's music cues (like I Am The Doctor, All The Strange Strange Monsters) and they answered fairly quickly and nicely.
>>64187194
They used to, but they closed the Big Finish forum down for some reason. I guess the next best thing would be Gallifrey Base, or tweet at them.
The walls are as dark and edgy as his soul.
I miss the TARDIS hum. Why doesn't it hum anymore?

Is this Freemas worst acting on Doctor Who?
I thought she was okay generally but this scene is really bad.

>>64189034
Also, when shark fins are harvested, often the fins are simply lopped off and the shark thrown overboard. The shark, now unable to stay upright, can no longer swim. As sharks must swim in order to force water through their gills, the inability to swim causes them to essentially drown.
And thus we drown fish.
>>64189103
Sounds nothing like Tennant
>>64186079
Neonvisual is probably still crying because they didn't choose his intro with over 9999999 Effects and 0% originality.
>>64189197
Yeah it does?
>>64189203
He tried to delete the wiki over it.
>>64187231
Doctor they have the rights to use his music?
>>64189203
Remember how passive agressive he got on facebook over the fact that Moffat liked the other guys intros better than his shitty ones? top kek.

Top kek
>>64189312
Their response is basically
*They really like their in-house composer/s
*They have a decent working relationship with marigold and they got the rights for the torchwood theme from him
*They will use each marigold theme for different doctors as they come (ie the 10 audios will have his series 4 theme, 11 will get his series 5 theme, etc), they got those rights
*THey 'haven't even really thought much' about offering to get the cues like I Am The Doctor, basically implied they weren't interestsed
bit of a shame but they did say it was possible theyd try and get them later on
>>64189488
no

>>64189538
Yeah he did his own... like a dozen times... literally... In one he just swapped the TARDIS Model
>>64189523
Oh... too bad then. They could have mixed their composer and Gold. Their composer is good but his style isn't like Gold's.
>>64189460
>>64189563
>tfw getting hype for river audios
are they really that good? brava moff.
I am one of the banned wiki protectors.
Neon Visual is a cunt.
>>64189624
Yes. Every single one has been a masterpiece so far and The Rulers of the Universe is starting the same. Plus it's 8 a few adventures before Night of the Doctor.
>>64189636
psssh...nothin personnel...kid
>>64189668
>tfw the christmas special and the audios are making /who/ like river again
i'm okay with this
>>64189668
It's fascinating to me how a clear picture of 8's life is finally emerging after two decades.
The EDA novels pick up right after the 1996 film, with Alien Bodies mentioning the regeneration took place just three years ago. After the EDAs, the comics happen, because there's nowhere else for them to go. Then the audio dramas take us right into the Time War and NOTD.
>>64189636
Broken Mirrors has appealed the two bans with wikia. I was prepared to take one for the team (ie make an alt) but this will either succeed or get the wiki deleted for real.
>>64189810
If this is actually becoming serious, can we move wiki pages to another backup wiki?
>>64189636
How did you get banned?
Is this seriously xander himself trying to delete our wiki?
>>64189827
I think there's a dumping function somewhere.
ITS FUCKING DEAD
RIP /WHO/ WIKI 2014-2015
We had a good run boys.
>>64189810
Could you give a quick summary of what's happened today?
>>64189866
Well last night for two hours pretty much, i undo the changes to the neon visual page,
>>64189899
http://doctorwhogeneral.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Statistics
is neonvisual the sworn enemy of /who/ now?
>>64189827
I requested an xml dump of the wiki yesterday and it's come through, it has all the page text except captions to images and labels of external links. (it's 1.8mb and available on Special:Statistics) I believe the admin of a new wiki can import such a file to restore most of the core content.
http://doctorwhogeneral.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/92.19.190.189?limit=500&target=92.19.190.189
this is what they were doing!
>>64189940
Too bad we can't download all the images.
I mean i'm sure most of them were probably junk but there was probably good shit in there.
>>64189954
>ban with expiry time of 903 years
kek
how do people know its actually neon?
>>64189986
1am on a monday morning that happens to be Christmas week. He was more likely alone, drunk and crying about the page.
>I've placed bombs in every single level of this spaceship.
>But there's 200 of them! We run security checks!
>Every hour. I noticed.
>Even then, you couldn't have done it in an hour, that's impossible!
>I eat impossible for breakfast. I put bombs in as many levels I could in a hour, and then I went back in time, at the start of the hour, to put more bombs in more levels. And I did it again and again and again.
Why is River so based?
>>64189954
Holy shit, if this really is neonvisual he's incredibly autistic to have made that many reverts in such a short time
>>64189986
We don't know for sure but it's a british IP address and there surely aren't many people autistic enough to do something like this
http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_download_all_image_files_in_a_Wikimedia_Commons_page_or_directory
Who's King Ultrasurf? The head? The robot? The diamond?
maybe the wikia being deleted is a good thing
we can start fresh
>>64190009
Because the Doctor is secure enough to allow her to have a bull, which increases her own confidence
>>64189905
- Neon page takes the piss out of him.
- Anonymous user with UK IP tries to change it to official Neon shill spiel.
- at it for hours into the night, endless back and forth reverting, they vandalise other stuff including people's user pages with nothing on them lel
- at one point they start saying ' Website interference by troll reported to mods by Midnight Communications Ltd', which is a PR agency based near Neon
- Wikia mods presumably get the wrong is and b& the two users who were undoing the vandalism.
- Broken mirrors logs on today, b&s the culprit and fixes all pages, but can't remove the Wikia-wide blocks on the 2 /who/res
Do you think it's worth contacting neon directly about this just to see what he says, or is that too great a risk on the off chance that this isn't actually him and we're just drawing his attention towards it?
I almost feel like making a kiwifarms thread about this so we can get them involved, they love this streisand effect tier drama
Does wikia have a stance on satire wikis? Whose side would they take on this if we contacted them?
>>64190116
>Do you think it's worth contacting neon directly about this just to see what he says, or is that too great a risk on the off chance that this isn't actually him and we're just drawing his attention towards it?
Even better.
>>64189928
Yup, this is probably the one. Now you just need someone autistic enough to pay for server.
>>64190144
careful anon, I don't want the wiki to be deleted for real
>>64190138
Well, they allow Uncyclopedia, which is basically a non-Doctor Who version of our wiki.
>>64190088
So is the wiki dead? ;_;
>>64190218
Not yet but we might be going to war
>>64190199
Uncyclopedia is so so much more than the who wiki too! http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Doctor_Who
>>64190218
Not yet it ain't. Count not your chickens before they hatch.

Maintenance man of the universe here:
The wiki will probably not be deleted by Wikia. The last time something like this happened, it resulted in a page being wiped and locked, and by the next day we had a new copy of the page up with offending material removed.
What happened:
1. Mysterious IP starts making edits to the Neon Visual pages, and to any pages that mention Neon Visual (Foreman, Tce's user profile)
2. Tce and DoctorBallzintime revert changes as fast as their fat little fingers can manage
3. Mysterious IP reports them to Wikia as trolls, vandals, and other internet supervillains
4. Mysterious IP is mysteriously linked to a mysterious british-based PR firm
5. A wise and noble administrator takes time out of his no doubt very busy schedule to block the mysterious IP and revert all changes, and I bet he's handsome too
6. Tce and DoctorBallzintime remain blocked on all Wikias (though Wikia's global blocks are supposed to be reserved exclusively for people vandalizing numerous wikis, and DoctorBallzintime does not edit any other wikis at all)
7. That clever and interesting Admin who I hear has obviously had hundreds of girlfriends appeals the ban
8. You posted your questions
9. I answered them up to this point
10. 10.
>>64190228
What are the Doctor Who equivalents of our war-time powers? I think Gallifrey Base is Gallifrey (stuffy old cunts, important, lots of rules and regulations) and /who/ is Faction Paradox (small and anarchic, not particularly powerful, always trying to cause trouble for the Time Lords). NeonVisual is, I don't know, the Rani or something.
>>64190269
You can set it in your profile but it tends to look like shit and not all functions are present because css are no longer written for it properly.
Uncyclopedia was an exception during wikia design massacre because of its roots.
>>64190300
>offending material removed.
Do you mean the original material that was offensive to the one person was removed, or the 'offensive' act of censorship was reverted back to how we originally had it?
>>64190269
Being poorly written, designed, and maintained is all a part of the wiki's unique charm.
This looks so good.
Who thought it was a good idea to ban colour and have everything dark blue or pale orange?
I have a suspicion the guy thought he could delete users by blanking their user pages. Fucking lol
>>64190367
who nose but I'm glad as fuck they're gone, capaldi's era has such a wide variety of color tonality
>>64190367
Adherents of No Fun Allowed.
Series 9 was shit colour wise. And so was Series 8.
>>64190367
Every episode scene is edited to match a certain aesthetic and give out a specific feel.
>>64190365
On dedicated server you can write your own shitty css.
>>64190357
Honestly, I don't really know because there's no way of knowing exactly what it was that got the page (Phil Sandifer's) deleted, though through process of elimination it was probably the bit where the wiki accused him of actual murder. The current Sandifer page has most of the old content, though presented in a slightly more obnoxious (and, potentially, less actionable) way.
I'm still not convinced it was actually Phil who had it taken down, since it had been ground zero for a few edit wars already and might have gotten some attention for that and for its content.
>>64190377
surely they can't be that retarded, I'd imagine they were just doing it out of spite to cause inconvenience to the people 'slandering' neonvisual
>>64190414
>Series 9 was shit colour wise. And so was Series 8.
>>64190367
It looks too happy, it was edited in order to match the gloomy(?) feel of Series 9.
>>64190457
Into the Dalek, Time Heist, Flatline and the finale all have shit pale cold colours. It's not inviting.
>>64189575
Agreed anon. I mentioned that 11 without I Am The Doctor would be really weird but idk what they thought of it.
>>64189624
I mean they're not Shearman level, but they're better than Doom Coalition 1 or Unit Extinction or the War Doc audios or anything. They're 4 solid stories. First is very good, second is really very good, third is a masterpiece, fourth is good in its own right but disappointing depending on your expectations.
>>64190421
Yup. It's just basic postproduction: colour grading to match the feel the team is going for.
>>64190367
>>64190463
i don't understand these posts
you're shitting on the colors but saying they look good?
please explain i'm retarded right now
>>64190520
I'm saying the original looked better than what we actually got.
>>64190502
Gosh it's almost like those stories are about deadly journeys into austere, unnerving environments and thus wouldn't be aided by looking like a paint factory on fire.

>>64190503
Really enjoying 1 right now. Confused by River's theme, though; can't tell if it's an attempt at an operatic rendition of her TV theme, or just an attempt at original composition.
>>64190621
Gosh it's almost like the whole series has this kind of look and isn't pleasing visually, which would of course make some people turn off and stop watching.
>>64190626
Series 5 was great.
>>64190728
Gosh it's almost like you're the epitome of a pleb and have no value for good visual design
>>64190748
Gosh it's almost like you think you're part of an elite when really you should just jump from a bridge because you have no taste
>>64190502
>Time Heist
You mean the episode with all of the brightly colored lit up corridors and warm yellow marble interiors?
>>64190679
It's an original composition. See my posts earlier in the thread about Big Finish not that interested in using Marigold's musical cues, unfortunately.
Her theme is pretty good - identifiable melody, more than one section - but her theme in the show was much better.
>>64190637
Go to bed Lance
>>64190770
I'll give you that, but they were quite pale colours, compared to this.
>>64190819
Literally one episode prior was pic related
absolutely disgusting selective memory you have there
>>64190831
Did I include Listen in the shit-coloured episodes?
Absolutely disgusting selective memory you have there.
I just finished listening to The Diary of River Song, and wanted to share some random thoughts.
The Boundless Sea - Decent intro with River an alleged archaeologist actually doing some sort of archaeology things. Sometimes a little contrived with the utter lack of common sense some of the secondary characters show.
Invited to a Marvelous Party - Another fairly solid episode although I sort of lost track of who was murdering who halfway through, and everyone who wasn't River was acting like an idiot yet again.
Signs - A slightly more surreal entry, kind of like Scherzo or The Natural History of Fear (or Heaven Sent TVwise). A strong performance from Alex Kingston. I'm not certain I was entirely convinced by Samuel West's performance as "Mr. Song", although I suppose that was rather the point in the end.
Rulers of the Universe - The most straightforward sci fi Doctor Who like entry in the boxset. Always a pleasure to hear Paul McGann, though his interactions with River were hampered by the fact hat River can't actually meet him in person they still managed to build some chemistry. This episode does demonstrate some of the problems with actually depicting the Time War. I felt Eight's allusions to "if you want to get involved in the war then you really don't have any understanding of what the war is" or "one misstep and you and your entire species would never have existed" reminded me of how the Time War was described in RTD's era, as something so horrible and mindbending it's best not spoken directly about. In comparison, the random "souvenirs of the war" that Eight pulled out like "a chronon mine that send you back in time forever" or an artifact that makes you untouchable by keeping you constantly ten nanoseconds ahead" cheapened it slightly, from an apocalyptic clusterfuck of causality chess to a war of Doraemon gadgets.
These are the only good OST from Series 9.

>>64190883
Why is that relevant when you selectively picked out one specific shot from a specific episode that doesn't reflect a standard lighting setup for 11's era? I was only being as selective as you
hey guys wouldn't this have been so much better and conveyed the tone and atmosphere of the episode so much better?
Best looking Capaldi episodes in no order:
Deep Breath
MotOE
Heaven Sent
Zygon Inv
Listen (at a push)
I'm partial to the visuals in Girl Who and Katie M as well but those may be unpopular choices.
>>64190922
I never said it was reflecting 11's era, I just said Series 5 had good colours. That's literally it.
Do you think the official Series 9 soundtrack will include Capaldi's guitar bits?
>>64190908
>I felt Eight's allusions to "if you want to get involved in the war then you really don't have any understanding of what the war is" or "one misstep and you and your entire species would never have existed" reminded me of how the Time War was described in RTD's era, as something so horrible and mindbending it's best not spoken directly about.
It honestly felt more like he was alluding to The War from the Lawrence Miles books. I know he wasn't, but still.
>>64190955
Even in S5 that was just one outlier shot and not reflective of the common color tone
>>64190961
Were they studio recorded?
If so then probably.
>>64190939
Fuck off you don't understand anything. I said nearly all episodes had this silver/cold uninviting look and it wasn't pleasing to the eyes. Literally two or maybe three episodes didn't have cold colours, that's not even balanced. I didn't say "OH LET'S CHANGE THE COLOUR OF THE DARKEST EPISODE OF THE SERIES". Fuck off.
>>64191028
Pleasing to the eyes is not a valid metric of assessing color grading
All you are doing is reinforcing your absolute pleb taste and knowledge of production
>>64190978
Hmm... Series 5 also had the warm orange Tardis so that's something.
>>64191087
All you are doing here is contributing to his meme. Are you actually retarded?
Is Paul McGann even watching New Who? Does he even know who River is?
So how shitty was the xmas special?
>>64191192
anti-shit
>>64191089
Warm orange is the biggest problem with pre-capaldi who
They rarely ever got away from it, and when they did it was just dark teal
Capaldi's era by far has the most variety in color tones, There are warm episodes like Robot of Sherwood and Forest of the Night, dark episodes like Dark Water/Death in Heaven, and then others in between with varying main colors. Skaro was pink, flatline was black and orange, listen was all kinds of strong colored lights, etc
you're just a pleb with no appreciation for tonal variety that doesn't default on warm orange
>>64191192
Not as shitty as you'd think it be from the premise.
>>64191192
t'was pretty good
>>64191207
>>64191215

The Bedding of River Song

>>64191208
>Skaro was pink, flatline was black and orange
I agree with you on the others but what?
Prettiest episodes of Who ever are the 5 Toby Haynes eps in S5/6. Dispute if you dare.
Muted colours are alright though. The day sections of Flood do look a bit rubbish but other than that and SNM S9 is quite attractive.
Also Flatline feels like I'm really in Bristol
>>64191232

I'm probably a bit late for this but what were /who/'s opinions on Only The Monstrous?

I can't.
>>64186251
Heaven Sent proves this wrong.
>>64191256
Do you know what pink is?
>>64191312
The doctor still has plenty of mystery around him in that episode
HS works as a one off special thing, they can't make every episode of the show like that. As it is there was a fair portion of the normie audience who hated that episode for being slow and boring since there was no companion to keep them entertained
>>64191232
River Song married a bunch of guys to steal a diamond from a genocydal dictator (Whom she also married) and doesn't recognize Doctor because she thinks he ended with Matt. Then she tries to sell it to wacky genocidal loons.
>>64191361
Any guest stars?
>>64191317
That's from the trailer you fucking retard. Off yourself.
>>64191317
>Using the saturation-bumped trailer for screens
I'm on your side but it wasn't that pink in the transmitted episode.
>>64191391
A guy I think I saw once on QI
>>64191391
Nobody I recognize.
That guy who wore Stan from South Park's hat wasn't the same guy who played undertaker in Under the Lake, was he?
>>64191356
Not like THAT, but you could totally have an entire series where the Doctor has no travelling companion and instead just interacts with whoever he meets. That's basically what RTD's specials year was. We sort of got it this year with The Woman Who Lived, and again for the first half of Hell Bent.
>>64191460
From a narrative perspective the 'whoever he meets' people still count as companions
>>64191446
That was Paul Kaye, this is Matt Lucas
>>64191317
Do you know what episodes are?
>>64191491
I thought this much, they just sound the same to me.
>>64191489
Wouldn't that mean that literally every character other than the Doctor is a companion? Or even including the Doctor in multi-Doctor stories?
>>64191527
Every RTD special had a 'companion' character who the doctor bounced off of - jackson lake, lady thief, adelaide brooks, wilf

>>64191282
Hurt and the theme were good but the stories were disappointingly mediocre Briggs fare. Wasting Sir John Hurt on drinking juice and blurting sci fi nonsense about null zones is not what we wanted. The fact War acts less war-y than 7 or even 10 is also frustrating. On the bring side the river and torchwood audios are great

I agree, but I really liked the bits where it was just the War Doctor and the girl in the house together, chatting. Stagey is comfy.
Post some Doctor Who JUST memes.
>>64191990
I liked those bits too. She had a lovely voice.
>I'm a big Doctor Who fan. I loved David Tennant and Bonnie Piper.
Fuck off
Sylvester McCoy is in some shitty xmas TVM on Moviemix.
Doctor Who is the best TV show right now isn't it?
>>64192139
no but its not as shit as it used to be so that's something
>>64192139
I couldn't say. I don't watch much TV.
What the fuck is a full cast audio drama? Like a half cast audio drama is half people?
>>64192139
I hear Ash vs Evil Dead is pretty GOAT
>>64192194
>Like a half cast audio drama is half people?
A half cast audio drama is when they're all mixed race.
>>64192139

Imagine Peter playing the 12th Doctor with Matt's voice.
>>64192139
Fargo is pretty brilliant.
>>64192231
I suppose it would be quite Mr Bean-esque.
>>64192194
A non full cast one would be like the Companion Chronicles, where the companion actor reads in for the Doctor and both actors multi-role.
What era of Who has aged the worst?
>>64192139
There weren't many episodes of TV better than Heaven Sent this year.
https://youtu.be/T0leIKO5Z2c
He has no anger. Why does he sound like he just took some drugs before and I'd trying to convince someone not to take it too?
>>64192301
Good question. Series 1 was so of its time it inevitably aged very swiftly. Most of the Classic stuff that comes off shit now was already shit when it was made.
>>64192353
Because he's been asked to do an off the cuff reading completely out of context at a relaxed fan gathering, you can't blame him for not going full on rage.
>>64191917
Cease the mockery!
>>64191990
Same but it's ridiculous how over all low quality the boxset is for being the first release they've done with that calibre of actor. They should have tried to rope Shearman in or something
>>64190367
Somebody doesn't understand color grading right here...
S5 was quite a happy series. Like a fairytale. Full of colors.
S8 had a darker color scheme, but still a lot of colors. Just like the Doctor.
S9 had a cool color, as the stories were kinda more serious. Not saying they were, but they intended that.
The color grading in S9 was spectacular.
>>64192490
I think it's pretty representative of how the quality has been in recent years. Actually, the decline seems to have roughly coincided with their decision to release practically everything in the form of box sets - Dark Eyes 1 is the only one I've found really satisfying.

>>64192709
I'd agree with you except for the fact the River boxset was legitimately good. I do wish they'd relax the box set format a bit and do some eda style series for some lines - would a UNIT series really be that much work? The two actresses aren't in high demand. I'd kill for 8 to get a series format again too
I do love what they're doing with the torch wood monthlies though
>>64192935

>>64192194
As opposed to audiobooks, which are generally a cast of one, maybe a few. I actually prefer the audiobook format to the audioplay format, if only because in an audiobook you can just have narration and not have to justify it with "Great powers, Ace, look at that massive blue elephant! Why it's pooping all over that Cyberman!" style dialogue.

Nope and that anon would be an outlier here. His/her opinions are totally legitimate but generally people here like big finish and the audio play format. Just try some out for yourself if you haven't already. 8s monthlies or edas are a good starting point.
>>64193273
All audios do, but in well-written ones it's done subtly so you hardly notice.

Question about River Song box set. If the events of the Time War are time locked then how can River have time traveled into a point in time during which the Time War is raging and Eight is running away from it?
On a side note I liked how River reacted when she realized it was Eight who they'd kidnapped.

>>64186940
It's their constant and unstoppable lesbian frigging over many millennia that produces enough juices to fill up the swimming pool.
>>64193920
12 with short hair looks so strange to me now.
When downloading from Big Finish, what's the difference between the mp3 download and the audiobook one?
Why do TARDISes have swimming pools? Aren't they meant to be battle ships?
>>64194091
No they are just for travel.
>What will you miss most about playing Clara?
>I’ll mainly miss Peter. [laughs] It’s so rare that you get a show that is effectively a two-hander—it’s you two, all day, every day. Also every day is different, there’s no day that’s the same. Every two weeks you change episodes, you have a different cast, and you go to a different planet. You get to do weird stunts upside down, you play off a green screen, and then suddenly do a really domestic, emotional scene. As an actor, you can go anywhere. There’s not really a limit in that show where you’re stuck to a genre because it’s so changeable and dynamic. It’s that storytelling that I’ll miss the most and Peter, because we spent the best part of two and a half years together. But the show will move forward, as it does, and become something else, which is what makes it so special.
>doesn't even mention matt
MATT BTFO
>>64194149
Has she gone now? For good?
>>64193920
Damn, New Who without music is GOAT. Feels very Hartnell.
>>64194149
>It’s so rare that you get a show that is effectively a two-hander
She's talking about peter here
>>64194166
uhh did you not watch S9?
>>64194086
Quality is the same. Audio book is the whole story as one file. Mp3 is the story broken up into around 10 mp3 s for each story. Just up to you what you find more convenient
>>64194149
>we spent the best part of two and a half years together
That's a snide remark about her and matt having no chemistry
>>64194202
I only caught a couple of eps.
>>64193847
>Eight
>young and naive
>>64194167
agreed, thought that too.
>>64194091
They're meant to be exploration vessels, with space (and time) to comfortably fit both a full scientific expedition and the six-man flight crew, as well as all their amenities and any need they may have for room to keep artifacts or special equipment. That's also what the Chameleon Circuit is for, so they can land in a locale without disturbing the natural progression of events there. Unfortunately, the Doctor is a single mad rogue fool criminal renegade whatever, who solo-pilots a broken TARDIS without a working chameleon circuit and who uses the immense resources at his disposal mostly for leisure and giggles.
Presumably, War Tardises are a lot more spartan and have special functions the Doctor's doesn't, but we'll never really know what all they can actually do.
>>64194234
to be fair the arc in S7 was dumb as hell and the whole series just kind of muddled around boringly. the dynamic was nowhere near as interesting. but definitely better chemistry regardless though.
How did Clara's leaving happen? Did she get killed off?
>>64194422
just watch it m8
>>64186945
This is the greatest post in the history of this general
Can someone post the bingo? I wasn't here for a couple of days and I just got to watching the Christmas special.It was actually pretty good and I'm happy that River is gone forever this time.
What did people think of the special?
>>64194450
I can't. Shitty internet connection.
>>64194492
>I'm happy that River is gone forever this time.
>River is gone forever
>>64194422
Short story - she got cocky and thought she was being clever, fucked up and accepted death because of it
you're better off not knowing the long story
>>64194322
If you cut out Jenna and Capaldi's arms from that picture it makes Capaldi look like he has tiny t-rex arms.
>>64194559
So she's properly dead? This pleases me.
>>64194603
>So she's properly dead? This pleases me.
lmao...
>>64194492
We actually made bingo for once
>>64194603
That's what it seemed to be but moff went ahead and fucked it up two episodes latershe was extracted from her time stream the moment before death, became functionally immortal and commandeered a tardis with Ashildr
so she does die but also travels around space and time for an undefined period of time since she's immortal and can't age
>>64194482
Really? I thought it was this.
>>64194603
>she's properly dead
>>64194712
>comical sound effect
What was that?
If we pretend Hell Bent didn't happen, clara has the best companion departure of nuwho
no forced drama or tragedy forced on her, clara fucks up and accepts her punishment
>>64194603
You're gonna be ass ranged and I'm gonna laugh.
>>64194770
When king angry head gets shot and turned to ash
will the next companion be a shit?
>>64194800
At least she's gone for now even if she's not properly dead.
Briggs having a "big finish" on mcganns face when?
>>64194603
>So she's properly dead? This pleases me.
>2016 -4 days
>people still unhappy that the doctor saved his companion
>>64194831
Only if it's another young girl from London that has a mundane life.
So yes
>>64194948
Clara didn't have a mundane life, she was a special snowflake from the start.
why was S7 so bad and mediocre? it was like if gattis took over for a bit and just continued to use moffats name.
>>64195013
Yessssssss
>>64195013
regeneration, its a lottery
>>64194982
Apart from the mum dying thing no, she had a normal life with no supernatural influences. But she was the right sort of person to be moulded by the doctor into a thrillho.
>>64195013
>peter capaldi is actually just 2 kids an an adult suit
>>64195013
the new tardis layout is going to be exciting
I already told you he's the next companion.
>implying you wouldn't lay down next to him and cuddle
>>64195013
Nabil Shaban?
>>64195126
He's literal shit tier
clean shaven twinks are the only attractive gay people
>>64194982
It was the same schtick that Donna had. Brillant, special person that didn't know it and just lived a boring life.
>>64195159
You clearly have no taste.
>>64195172
isn't that every companion?
>>64195043
His laugh seems really forced going by that gif.
>>64195226
Ever since Rose, yeah.
That's the reason why I don't get Shonafags. It's literally the same shit as before.
>>64195159
>>64195126
>>64195210
We all know this guy is the next companion. Better get your hand ready for when the inevitable shirtless scenes come.
>>64195210
He's a fucking uggo
>>64195265
A gay male companion would break the template.
pic related is the real next companion
>>64195340
She has pretty small tits.
lets gets a wheel chair bound companion
the doctor and push them around and have fun times
>>64195370
This one doesn't.

Also the bump limit is now 9000, you shit eating cunt.
>>64192139
No idea. Doctor Who and GoT are the only ongoing shows I watch.... And I might end up dropping GoT because they continue putting in incredibly shitty non-book content and the later books make it clear Martin has no passion left for the story he started at all.
>>64192353
No practice and he's not as great of an actor as Peter. (But that's true for every Doctor except 12)
