THE MIND ROBBER Edition

Here is the iconic shot of Zoe in a colorisation by some anon a while back.

Discuss what makes The Mind Robber such a classic and why the Land of Fiction is where all of us truly hail from. What makes episode 1 that was literally made as filler so awesome despite that? Why is the whimsical tone and sense of unstable reality so wonderful?

Last edition: >>67208827

Reminder that Mexican Syfy stream is going on, Capaldi and Minchin should be popping up at some point.

TERRIBLE, over-rated clusterphuck of a story which is so very clearly a pro-narcotics propaganda piece.

One of the worst Doctor Who stories to date. I wish this serial was missing instead of the masterpiece that is Power of the Daleks.

How did this shite get the greenlight?

Oh, I am TOTALLY serious. This story is awful and terrible and essentially promotes a hallucinogenic suicide. It's the only story I've ever given BELOW a 0/10.

I rate The Mind Robber a -1963/10.

UTTERLY UTTERLY terrible - The BBC should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.

No wonder drug-related deaths in teenagers have skyrocketed after The Horror Channel started their broadcast of Classic Doctor Who. The statistics are on Wikipedia. It's all documented.

From last thread :
"Just finished watching Real Time after marathoning all of Evelyn's audio stories.
There's several zooms on the Doctor's cat brooch, and its expression changes depending on the story's mood.
What the fuck was up with that ?
Also it's mediocre as fuck and they should have animated literaly any other audio with theme, save only maybe for Pier Pressure."
I think that what I meant by that is that it's PHUCKING SHITE.

Is Minchin gonna stick around as exec producer with Chibnall?

>>67218617
he was talking about how you expect to see different types of Daleks, wouldn't expect them to be uniform?

well we all know budget forces them to reuse stuff.

>>67218655
Nah. He'll be erased from Doctor Who mid way into Series 10 filming and Moffat will ride it out all on his own.

Capaldi is getting serious about climate change.

Doesn't seem likely. On the off chance that Capaldi stays maybe they will keep Minchin around to help ensure the tone doesn't wildly derail.

Been listening to BF through the night, Neverland was GOAT and now moving into Spare Parts. Its been weird because the last few have strong reputations; I expected Neverland to be all fanwanky because of the Zagreus connection but it actually had a nice tight continuity with mostly 8th references. Hopefully the opposite thing doesn't happen with SP and it turn out to be overhyped...

Also I never realized how similar 5 and 8's characters are

what that other anon said is actually true. They couldn't make the relevant bits work, so they had to reshoot stuff during the filming of Pond Life. That's why the villain is suddenly revealed to be a hologram and disappears, and why the Doctor magically fixes everything in the last minute with the sonic screwdriver.

Along with the Doctor killing Solomon in cold blood, I dunno, Chibnall's Doctor is probably going to have a lot less of a problem with violence.

S9 had terrible promotion and shitty time slots. But that'sirrelevant, saying something is bad because it has bad ratings is as bad as saying something is good because it has good ratings. Critic reviews were very positive towards S9, I could just as easily try and use that to say why It was good but I wouldn't because that's dumb. Voyage Of The Damned has the highest ratings of NuWho and I've never seen anyone say it's the best episode. It's been mostly forgotten now.

But it's not even an opinion. There was like two trailers and nothing else. One which used the "Same old same old" line which was fine in the episode but bad idea for a big trailer quote. Feels like Peter's done more promotion during the break before S10 than he did during S9.

Thanks for these. I think I'll start with Loups Garoux since I just realized I already have it. I tried before and can't get into the Peri/Erimem stuff. Maybe it's a silly reason but I just can't buy into there being a huge gap and a whole other companion between Planet of Fire and Androzani. I might try again seeing as you all listed Kingmaker though.

That's probably not true. I think anyone from Classic Who was long gone to different projects or retired/dead at that point.

Are you underage? Seriously, it seems to be mostly kids who think "discussing opinions" means trying to "justify" yours and prove other people's wrong. You can always just say what you liked or disliked about something (notice how little of that is actually going on right now) and by discussing it with other people gain a better understanding of them, the show, the medium and yourself. Or you can ask for and give recommendations, like what just happened with that anon asking about Big Finish. Or you could just come to /who/ to talk about the history of the show, keep up with news, post dank memes, joke around and have fun. You know, FUN? The thing that 4chan is actually for? Your attitude just depresses me. You're not only fighting a pointless battle, you can't imagine any other way of communicating.

Hating something because it has low ratings or whatever doesn't make any sense. It has nothing to do with the stories or plots characters etc. It's basically saying "I hated it because more people didn't watch it" Do you automatically hate something if it has a low IMDB rating or rotten tomato score? Plenty of solid movies have low ratings on there. I don't give a fuck if you hate or like S9, but talk about the fucking stories and plots characters etc. Ratings should be fucking irreverent to your enjoyment or dislike for something.
