>AMY: So that was the year of the slow invasion, when the Earth got cubed, and the Doctor came to stay. It was also when we realised something the Shakri never understood. What cubed actually means. The power of three.

Tooth And Claw, Love And Monsters, Idiots Lantern. Series 2 contains most of Ten's comfies. Would be GOAT if the forced as fuck relationship between Ten and Rose didn't completely spoil it.

It's good fun though.

Who else here is awaiting the golden age of /who/, when we will be banned from /tv/ and forced to leave for /trash/?
>/trash/ is a much slower board, so /who/ threads will stay alive a lot longer
>/trash/ has forced anonymity, so there will be no tripfags like cats or FNA shitting up our general
>/trash/ is full of nice people, we won't be bothered by /tv/ shitposters like the >>>/tumblr/ guy and the other assorted faggots who occasionally visit us here
>/trash/ is a hidden board, so it won't be as easy as it is now to find /who/, which means that new users will be a bit more experienced and not complete newfags
>/trash/ is NSFW, so pancakes and Matt Smith nudes will no longer be banned
I for one can't wait to move to our new home.

Well, I said that they are nice people and won't bother us, not that they aren't sexual deviants.
Would you prefer to have students who party the whole night and make a lot of noise at every hour of the day as neighbors, or weird guys who are into strange stuff but keep themselves to themselves?
>>64211539

>>64212132
Er, it sort of was. Everyone liked the talky side of Woman, that was great, but the actual plot side (let alone the 'comedy') wasn't even well directed let alone well written. One gets the sense that it was all added in through a weary sense of obligation rather than actual enthusiasm.
Remember that whole bit where they're just slowly crawling around some asshole's room at night and trying to hide from him? Literally televisual void space.
Like I don't hate the episode, but it's definitely less competent as Doctor Who than its counterpart (which at least has the decency to not become bored with itself).

>>64212852
It wasn't even the power of love, it was some stupid bullshit about a leaf determining Clara's whole life and infinite potentiality and blah blah fucking bollocks.

It's because the leaf was entangled with the Doctor's timeline, which the god of akhaten had already eaten once and barely survived. It was basically a double helping of SECRETS THAT MUST NEVER BE TOLD, KNOWLEDGE THAT MUST NEVER BE SPOKEN
>>64211826
Depends on what the "strange stuff" is
has anyone read ''Fear Itself''?
Why is it so hard to read? Is it that bad?
>>64212996
>yfw Moffat leaves gracefully after a fairly well received series 10 and sets everything up nicely for his successor, the acclaimed dramatist Peter Harness.
Honestly I kind of hope they change up the whole 'showrunner' model and the way the show is run after Moffat leaves. Moffat hasn't found his Moffat (as in, dedicated writer with TV running experience who regularly outperforms him for his entire era) because people like that do not simply turn up every day. The show has relied for 10 years on basically having one of the two exec producers as the dynamo creative lord of fucking everything, writing a shitload of wildly different episodes as well as recruiting everyone and making sure it doesn't blow up, while the other one is basically their co-conspirator. I don't know if you could maintain that if you just tried to slot Whithouse (or indeed ANY of the potential candidates) into the Moffslot and run business as usual.

>/trash/ has forced anonymity, so there will be no tripfags like cats or FNA shitting up our generalI don't want to give anyone any ideas but there are much more annoying ways to make oneself identifiable and since it's a "random", nsfw board it's much less likely anything could be done about it. It's kind of out of the frying pan into the fire./who/ nose though, could be fun. Not being bound by exclusively work safe content and images would be nice. Last years hiatus we has a contingent of about 30 core /who/res or /who/lligans. If we can keep that number we'd be fine anywhere.

>>64214737
Yeah mate long as we keep it inside our threads and don't do shit like torchwood general or thread wars we'll be fine
I like you cloister but the thought of forced anonymity getting rid of most of the trips does appeal to me. Its moot though since very unlikely we'll be banned. We haven't been before. We got new audios every month so we're set imo for activity with the core 30
>>64215242
Nice work m8
I feel like a shill saying this mates but the river audios are legit good. If you can't buy em torrent them, just one way or another listen to them, the third story is solid GOAT
>>64215818
>feeling like a shill just for saying something is good
Do you by any chance spend a lot of time on /v/?
>>64215743
If this becomes a general about audios it should be moved to /lit/
>>64215967
Don't be a smartass.
>>64215967
Oh boy, I can just imagine how /lit/ would react to a campy sci fi family show on their board
>>64215967
Moving to lit makes no sense
*The general is primarily about a t.v. Show
*The tv show has other media like comics and audios but they're all part of the umbrella brand doctor who which is a tv show
*splintering The general would piss off users with inconsistency and mods with threadspam - two concurrent generals, one on tv when series 10 news comes out and one in lit for audio discussion is just ridiculous
>>64216101
audios are audio BOOKS
>>64216173
Actually, they're audio PLAYS.
>>64216173
They're audio plays actually senpai.
>>64215818
I can't do it senpai. River/Alex Kingston are like nails on a chalkboard to me.
>>64210284
City of Death is comfiest Four story.
>>64216101
Sounds like /who/ just needs its own board. Doctor Who is clearly too big a subject to tie down to such a limited format as a single thread.
>>64216298
>City of Death
>not...
Actually fuck it, you're right.
>>64216449
We have our own board. It sits collecting dust.
>>64216449
If you're trying to hint at going back to McGannland, it ain't happening.
>>64216449
Lel you're not wrong but as the prime thing is the tv show, /tv/ makes most sense
>>64216238
Torch woods audios are also real good if you want something else. . The casts joy at being back is infectious
>>64216561
Can I listen to those if I skipped Miracle Day?
>>64216449
>>64216536
>>64216538
Mcgannchan fucking sucks. It has always been basically dead and nobody there shuts up about being le super secret board; it's distracting. /tv/ is where we belong.
>>64216594
Yes, most of them are set pre children of earth . All you need to know for the post miracle day one is that...another big thing happened organised by evil secret society? Its not super relevant.
>>64216536
>>64216538
>>64216595
Whoa now, I was just joking. I wasn't even thinking of McGannchan. I know the right place for /who/ is on /tv/, I was just extending the banter. Didn't mean to hit a sore spot.
>>64216595
>>64216674
It's no sore spot for me. I think it serves it's purpose well. A whole board dedicated to /who/ on 4chan would be just as dead I imagine. Like it or not we really need the occasional infusion of newfriends that migrate in from /tv/ proper, that originally come from reddit or /b/. Don't take this the wrong way, but if only we had a brony like user base a /who/ board would be feasible.
>>64216674
I didn't mean to snap matey, my bad! No ill feelings meant anon.

Totally agree cloist. Getting new anons into BIG FINISH is a great pleasure of mine

I retract this statement, I spoke too soon, didn't even see we were talking about comfy. Now, what should really happen in series 10 of doctor who. I would love to see a story with the 7th doctor, I don't know how it would work, but damnit make it happen.
>>64218012
Well it's 10 to 10pm for me. Briggs you see is if not the head of BF one of their most employed talents, and he presumably lives In the UK, being roughly 3:00am(i think) there at the time of Anon's comment. A joke implying he was promoting big finish with zeal. It's not really a meme as much as me just shitposting. Sorry for the offense or confusion.
>>64218285
Hey cloister how are ya?
>>64218285
>>64218318
Hello, how are you guys?
>>64211146
when the 12th doctor scanned River with the sonic screwdriver he gave her, was it so that the 10th doctor could upload her into the library?
>>64218383
Good, watching the gun fighters right now.
>>64218318
Fantastic, albeit tired. Past my bedtime, playing lego dimensions with belle. It's pretty GOAT and the various tardis desktops are cool. Unfortunately you can't do any exploring past the console room, at least that i've found. The Tardis seems a buld seems a bit more convoluted than needs be. Tiny pieces. A doctor who lego game on it's own would be fun. Hope you're doing well!
>>64218383
See above. How's the life of a graduate? What did you think of series 9? By the way your discipline in waiting until your graduated to watch is admirable! Well done
I'm reposting this from Reddit but I think it could help some anons here confused about the timeline of the River audios:
" I'm now certain that it was their intent to put it after The Husbands of River Song.
As you'll see here[1] ,
In the first part, River has her sonic trowel from The Husbands of River Song.
In the second part, River has a sonic screwdriver. It would kind of ruin the emotional weight if she already had a different one in The Husbands of River Song.
In the third part, River is comfortable with the idea that the Doctor has more bodies than One-Eleven. In fact, she speculates that it's down to her giving him regeneration energy in Let's Kill Hitler. In The Husbands of River Song, she won't even consider the idea and doesn't realize Twelve is the Doctor."
>>64218285
It's not briggs, he hasn't tried pushing the prisoner.
Also, reminder that secret santa was forced as fuck this year and was as a result, shit.
>>64218534
I'm writing (as a request) a "Katy Manning Iris meets Jane Fonda Iris meets Me and Clara" fic. It's a little difficult. I'm gonna have a fun time trying to let the reader know who's who when both Irises are talking at the same time.
>>64218656
>Also, reminder that secret santa was forced as fuck this year and was as a result, shit.
I got a Dalek pop doll and 11/12s Sonic Screwdriver. I was very happy. How is this "shit"?
>>64218656
A shitty joke anon.
It was posted much less this year, not like every thread last year and only one anon didn't receive a gift this year, unlike a few last year. I don't know how you'd measure a successful secret santa, but I thought it was an improvement upon last years. My apologies you thought it was shit anon. That pains me. I'm sorry.
>>64218615
Pretty good. I'm taking it easy now, but I'll get back to some sort of busywork soon.
Thanks! I did sneak in a few eps on Thanksgiving, tho.
>>64218615
Cloister says there are 30 core people on /who/. We can safely count the trips I suppose (even the spammers like FNA come often enough to be considered core). Can count me, as I post here most days and have been here for a few years. How'd you come to the other 20 or so Cloister? Guesswork?
>>64218701
I bet he didn't get a gift.
>>64218820
Well I don't think anyone would hold that against you.
>>64218833
Poster counts. They consistently stayed from about 28 or so to 35. A few times they bumped higher, just under 40 with casting news or cuntyletters twatting.
>>64211272

This wins the thread
>>64218934
>Poster counts. They consistently stayed from about 28 or so to 35. A few times they bumped higher, just under 40 with casting news or cuntyletters twatting.
Ah of course. Makes perfect sense. Kind of weird to think there's about 30 generally swimming about here; feels like more. I wonder how many listen to Big Finish.
Also you said earlier you were hype for River audios and I forgot to respond: I'm the anon who talked down the War Doc audios to you and I have to say, the River audios are legit good. Feel free to get hype. They're not like Scherzo level good, but the 3rd story is legit gold and easily the best BF story of the year, and the others are all highly competent, moreso than the general "pretty good" of UNIT Extinction.
I still prefer the Torchwood audios because I personally like em better and like the cast better, but the River ones are very solid. Great stuff.
>>64217191
I just watched that clip. Was screaming at the screen for the bitch to take the tarp off.
>>64212324
Fuck, the speech at the end was fucking amazing.
It's a shame the actual ending was shit.
I've coming regularly for month now, its good being anon.
you dont have to worry about a reputation but downside being that I could stop and it wouldn't make a difference.
I'm a shut in and perhaps forums could be a good way to at least have exchanges with people.
>>64219114
I've been coming here solidly since 2013, I post a lot, and occasionally there are some moments of recognition even through the anon-ness (usually by Cloister who recognises me saying something). I've considered tripping before because yeah, I feel like I'm enough a "part of /who/" as dumb as that sounds, but I just really don't like the idea of tripping personally.
I've tripped in /got/ before when I had actual reason to and nobody complained, I always turned off the trip after it wasn't needed anymore. I just feel like the whole board culture means having a trip doesn't make sense.
/who/ pushes toward more traditional forum at times with the number of trips, the low amount of posters (30ish) and the general agreed vibe, but idk, I can't bring myself to trip. Like you, I feel being anon is good and the way to go.
>>64219035
That's in a 24 hour period though. In april or may it slows down to just barely more than 300 posts a day.
Nice, I can't wait to hear them. I've while not been a river "fan" I haven't minded her presence. I'm interested to hear her on her own when she's not lusting after doctor dick
>>64219053
>I just watched that clip. Was screaming at the screen for the bitch to take the t̶a̶r̶p̶ clothes off.
Fixed that for you.
>>64218692
I should have mentioned this before, but I finished the first part sort of this fic I started a long while ago. Tell me what you think of it? https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11696203/1/The-Angels-In-The-Catacombs-part-1 It's a 12th doctor and Clara story
>>64219274
if I mess up I can just vanish
and sometimes I say offensive comments for the sake of edge, so theres that.
>>64219429
Yeah I get what you mean. I have to catch myself on/r/gallifreysometimes and remind myself it's not /who/ - I'll go to snap at someone why they're wrong, or basically be anything less than super sweet and polite, and remember my opinions will bedownvotedunless I sugar coat them either inreddit-tierstyle or the general opinion. Annoying. I much prefer /who/.
>>64219551
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch?
>>64219114
I'm a shut in too anon and /who/ more or less is the limit of my social interaction aside from the rare belle posting in gif or shitposting in joe rogan threads. Lurking other threads on /tv/, /diy/,/out/,/qa/ and /x/ with even rarer jaunts to the other boards. Being anonymous affords you a ton of freedom and makes you an equal among anons. Tripping up while fun shackles you to your statements at the same time discounting them. Glad you like it here in /who/. They're a pretty lovable bunch desu. Always feels like home to me.
>>64219274
I like to think there's a handful of anons and maybe a former or sporadic trip or two I can pick out of the crowd. Some of us have spent years together, it would be sad if we didn't recognize each other every once in awhile.

>>64219274
Pretty much the same thing for me. I do a bunch of Photoshop stuff, and while I did kind of like the attention at first, I feel it doesn't matter who made what so long as it's relevant/funny.
>>64220401I have a theory about you that I never want to know the answer to.
>>64219412
Good set-up. Here's my critiques:
-needs a spelling and grammar check
-probably should make it in past tense. Present tense can be awkward
-when you write"Although this incarnation...comforting", it would be better to write it with a comma at the beginning, and connected to the next sentence. Also, it would be better to show rather than tell.
Good parts:
-you get across 12 and Clara. They feel in-character.
I love 12's giddiness at meeting an Angel,and annoyance that Clara is not as excited. And the scene with the recording is creepy.
All in all, it's a good foundation. Needs a serious grammar and spelling check, but I look forward to seeing you continue.
Good parts

>I like to think there's a handful of anons and maybe a former or sporadic trip or two I can pick out of the crowd. Some of us have spent years together, it would be sad if we didn't recognize each other every once in awhile.
Nice thought.
>Doesn't it hurt your eyes/head? Isn't it hard to follow a conversation there?
Actually the format ofLedditis why I keep going back to it. I love how it's formatted. I find it extremely intuitive. I know I might be an outlier. But the way you can collapse conversations is infinitely more enjoyable to me than traditional forum+4chan way of just having post come after post chronologically.
>Is there a way to disable the upvoting and downvoting?
You can sort threads by "new" or "old" comments which makes it more like a normal forum. But you can't turn off karma wholesale.
>Is it that hard to discern popular opinion without it?
Whole function of the site means few people will post very contrary opinions particularly to fan subs like gallifrey
>Don't they have an active moderation staff? Why?
They do and honestly they're decent, it's just that if you throw out any non reddit approved opinion then you're likely to get mauled. Ocassionally you'll be fine. I've beendownvotedheavily for critiquing Whithouse before, but the other day I actually got quiteupvotedfor it so it sways.

>>64224769
Pretty good
>>64224769
I enjoyed it.

>>64224197
>Nine: Boom Town
yes
>Ten: Tooth and Claw
mid tier comfy, 10's comfycore episode is school reunion
>Eleven: The Doctor's Wife
this episode was not comfy, it was a horror episode
The Lodger is 11's comfycore episode
>Twelve: The Girl Who Died
yes
>>64224769
Meh
The comfiest story in all of Doctor Who is Other Lives.
That is all.
>>64225427
The lodger was boring and stupid for me. The 11th playing Football (Soccer), almost as bad as the 5th playing cricket.
The Doctor's Wife definitely wins over The Lodger, although I personally find Vincent and The Doctor comfy.
>>64225474
C'Rizz gets tortured and put on display, I respectfully disagree
>>64225712
Apart from that ofc! The fourth part mainly.
i wanna cum in gallifrey_immigrant and have schlemihl watch!!!!
>>64225701
At least 5 had some justification for playing cricket, being that his whole outfit was that of a cricketers.
>>64225701
I don't see any problem with the Doctor playing sports.
The only problem with it in Black Orchid is that the cricket match is filmed from really far away and the camera never moves.
>>64225701
The Doctor's Wife has multiple scenes of Amy and Rory being psychologically tortured by House and all kinds of creepy grim shit. It's in no way comfy at all.
i wanna cum in gallifrey_immigrant and have schlemihl watch!!!
>>64225860
This
comfy episodes are ones that largely take place in the one location (roald dahl plass, coal hill etc) and have a relatively light hearted tone even though ultimately there is still conflict with a monster
>>64225996
Yeah, Boom Town is probably one of the best examples here. Despite the relatively dark plot and everything going on it's largely set in the TARDIS, with some nice dim lighting, and features a lot of interesting character interaction between the full series 9 crew.
The soundtrack also really helps with all the nice moody violin bits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgYL5vV4X_E
>>64225811
that is the only thing that got him through. No excuse for the 11th
>>64225860
and the lodger wasn't comfy for because i had no connection to Craig or Sofie. There wasn't enough character development for me to get a connection, sorry just not enough. The concept and the end development of The Doctor's Wife was fantastic The Doctor finally talking to The T.A.R.D.I.S, how fucking awesome is that.
anyway there is nothing comfy in seeing your crush being sucked of life either. I also find Craig and Sofie a little cringey anyway.
It seems I may have a different feeling of what Comfy means than the rest of you.
>>64226293
>It seems I may have a different feeling of what Comfy means than the rest of you.
Yeah, you do. You're just conflating it with "something I liked".
>The concept and the end development of The Doctor's Wife was fantastic The Doctor finally talking to The T.A.R.D.I.S, how fucking awesome is that.
Literally didn't even use the word comfy here.
Absolutely nothing wrong with your taste in episodes, but "comfy" doesn't just mean "good", it's a specific term.
>>64226359
>Yeah, you do. You're just conflating it with "something I liked".
No I liked The Lodger as an episode, overall. The premise was good, just some parts I disliked. I just didn't find it comfy.
>Literally didn't even use the word comfy here.
It didn't need to be but if it helps you, replace "how fucking awesome is that" with "I think that is comfy as fuck"

>>64227133
yeah bro
>>64227207
heh fair enough
>>64227205
No I understand what you meant it's just the way you phrased the post. Do you find 11 and 12 have scenes like that you dislike?
>>64227205
It was the writer's anti-drug agenda. When the Doctor finds out the virus in Bliss caused the people to die, there's no reaction. He wants to stop Bliss because it's a recreational drug. There's a FUD implication that you shouldn't do drugs because you never know, you might overdose on four whole marijaunas.

>>64227954
Don't all fandoms have segments of self loathing? You hear it here alot at least. Anons shitting on cosplayers and the like. The only thing you're guilty of is association. Whatever they do it really harms no one then themselves and if someones willing to condemn you for an association of a fandom, they're probably not worth your time. Some folks probably take it too far, but /who/ cares. They're enjoying themselves, everyone should. By the way i should mention I loathe the word fandom itself, however it seemed the most appropriate. fuck. Full disclosure a Dr. Whooves funko vinyl figure reeeeeeeeeesides in my DW collection. It's not mine however and I try and put it in as many inappropriate positions as possible.

>>64228339
I don't like Dr Who fandom. I barely even like Doctor Who most of the times. I'd never flame someone for being a really vivid fan of something (we all have our quirks) but dang they are always doing stuff I think is dumb.
I guess I could never get excited about something to that degree (except like birds or something I don't know) to the point that I'd like to show it off to everyone. Guess I'm a closeted Dr. Who fan (when I don't hate it.)
>>64228439
>I'm a closeted Dr. Who fan
this desu.
my parents know I watch it by seeing me watch it a few times but that's it
Anybody else miss Doctor-lite episodes? The Diary of River Song audios make me think Moffat lost a huge chance making an episode where she was the lead and the Doctor only appeared for a few minutes.
![1414455977876_wps_55_45_DrWho_RadioTimes_Bubbl[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Na1oufX.jpg "1414455977876 wps 55 45 DrWho RadioTimes Bubbl[1]")
>>64228439
I think that's a hell of a bird.
I can't get that excited about anything either. If anything it's nice to kind of live vicariously through the more flamboyant fans. They do the stupid shit so you don't have to and secretly admire it from afar as to avoid any social stigma. I personally don't care what anyone might think and don't feel the need to explain my adoration for children's programming, but then again I'm an autist and social skills are far from my strong point to begin with.

I hope Moffat NEVER leaves. He always comes back with a great fucking episode (Listen, Husbands,...) after a disappointing one (Deep Breath, Hell Bent,...).
HOW AM I GONNA COPE WITHOUT DOCTOR WHO NEXT YEAR?

>A quote from the Consumer Panel email regarding the Series Nine survey:
>"Hi there Doctor Who fans,
>For many it’s a highlight of Christmas TV, and this year the much loved River Song was back to join the Doctor (in the last survey you revealed she’s the fans second favourite New Who companion, Donna easily nabbed the first prize!)."
>As I recall, this question was asked among questions regarding what type of person I would like to see as the next companion so it's not too much of a stretch to think that they were trying to discern what type of companion would be preferred by fans. I was given the option of choosing up to two out the "New Who" companions as my favorites. The choices were Rose, Mickey, Jack, Martha, Donna, River, Amy, Rory and Clara.
DONNA 2.0 CONFIRMED
YEEEEEES BASED MOFFAT I LOVE YOU
>>64228855
calm down m8 that doesn't confirm anything
>>64228777
Is there no new Doctor Who next year?
>>64228687
oh- okay. I don't have autism and I am just a regular person so I don't think I'd do well going out to a bar with a TARDIS tee-shirt or anything like that. I dunno. I do appreciate the fans though. Just sometimes the fandom gets a little out of hand.
>>64228906
There's 0% of chance we get a full series.
There's 50% of chance we get a split series (Part 1 and Christmas in Fall 2016 and Part 2 in Spring 2017).
There's a 99% chance we get only a Christmas special in 2016 and Series 10 in spring 2017.
I hate all fans and fandoms. I wish geek shit never became popular.
>>64228953
But didn't Moffat already confirm a full series for next year?
>>64228953
what really? when was this said? and where did you learn probability!?
>>64228953
>50%+99%=149%
Something's not quite right here.
>>64228953
We'll know when they start filming. If they start filming the Christmas special trend you can be sure we're only getting that next year.
I wonder when they'll announce it now that Series 9 is over.
>>64229002
He confirmed they would PRODUCE a full series and then he said the BBC would decide when and how they'd broadcast it. Even then, it takes 9 months to film a series so if they start in May like rumoured they will finish sometime in February.
>>64228953
>There's 0% of chance we get a full series.
Moffat said Jamie came in with a great idea recently and that he had two new writers who never wrote for the show that will make your "brain explode" and at the husbands of river song Q&A he said they were working on an episode on a "ancient world"
>yfw it was all bullshit and filming starts in january as usual ;)

Yeah but pretend they're just not the same 100% so they don't add up.
>>64229070
>and at the husbands of river song Q&A he said they were working on an episode on a "ancient world"
Source?
Nah m8, by this time in 2013 and 2014, read through for the first filming block had already taken place, meaningbthey had 2 episodes completely written and they had 2 more episodes in the final writing stages. It's not happening, sorry. Maybe and that's a big maybe, filming will start as soon as March depending on if actors, crew and scripts are available but even then that'd be a stretch.
>>64229198
Anyway they've been lying, pre production on the series started in late October. They already know who's the next companion is going to be (everything points to a Donna 2.0), they'll probably be casting her in January.

I generally don't wear my DW stuff out in public, but Belle sure the hell does. Usually an item a day, earrings, necklace, or a tee. She's always getting approached by other fans. Which is kind of annoying at times. Not that they want to talk about doctor who, but that they're there and want to talk period.
>>64229333

I wonder how well of an entrance point S10 will be
Moff's been saying something along the line of it being a soft reboot, hopefully that's just in the sense we have a new companion to care about. Capaldi is perfect as is the tone of the show currently
>>64229458
>Can't be bothered to listen McGann's
OK, he's not canon, I understand, but there's a some legitimately good stories there. You're also missing out on the sweet dulcet tones of paul mcgann. Chimes of midnight is the go to start I think. /who recommends it highly. Blood of the daleks is bretty gud too IIRC.
>>64229518
That's funny. Would all bipedal hominids in the DW be instruments of the great intellegence? Or could there be a dw story set in the pacific northwest, where the doctor encounters bigfoot and his loversteve summers
>>64229552
Self awareness?
>>64229600
capaldi was really amusing in the xmas special

>>64230990
(I'm >>64230740)
Fair enough, I suppose we just have to agree to disagree on our favourites/quality there. I've heard most of those stories and still think that Scherzo and Natural History are better than all of them. Just both our opinions of course.
BF have more consistent quality these days but don't produce as many masterpieces (like the ones we've both listed) as they used to. I'm scratching my head - were there any masterworks this year besides A Life in the Day (Dark Eyes 4) and Signs (Diary of River Song)?
>>64230740
To the Death shouldn't even be brought up in the same breath as anything by Shearman desu. Although S4 of the EDAs is the closest thing to a consistently good run of McGann audios (whereas his monthlies always jump about from GOAT to shit rapidly).
>>64230804
>>64231057
Lucie Miller / To the Death isn't as writerly a classic as Shearman stories as it relies heavily on the context both of the preceeding EDAs and Doctor Who structure in general, but I maintain that it's a masterpiece f_am. There's more than one kind of masterwork.
I agree S4 of the EDAs is McGann's most consistent arc ("Season 2" of the Monthlies - Invaders/Chimes/ Seasons/Embrace/Daleks/Neverland also strong).
Not a fan of 8s boxset format. It worked for Dark Eyes 1. That's about it. Wish he was in an EDA format again.
