Canon thread, The Daemons edition, what does /who/ think of this excellent story?
It's okay.
>>67746284
Well, it is a big improvement over Colony in Space
>>67746358
Not even close.
>>67746388
m8, colony was boring shit, this was good
>>67746516
Nah, Daemons is boring shit with one of the most hilariously shit endings in classic Who. Colony was well-paced and interesting, I already talked about why I love it at length in the CoS threadbut no one replied :^(. Daemons has some good things going for it, it's really atmospheric in places and the magic vs science things is something I guess, even if it's a bit cliche, but it's nowhere near Colony in Space tier imho.
>>67746079
>>67746736
I've never understood why it was supposed to be SO AMAZING and such a classic desu senpai
>>67746516
>>67746736
Also (I'm rewatching it right now) it has that shitty "aerodynamics can't explain how bees fly" meme, one of my least favorite maymays of all time. But I realize that's a pretty autistic thing to be upset about.
>>67746802
I think its one of those ones where its status got established when the videos weren't out yet and no one had actually seen it, they were just going on received wisdom. Kind of like that book that declared The Gunfighters "worst... story... ev-er!".
>>67746982
wasn't that only explained relatively recently?
>>67747058
I dunno, maybe. If so then I guess it gets a pass.

I don't know why she's such a huge fangirl then, the Doctor's being quite a cunt to this guy. If I were him I'd tell my daughter he was a cunt.

Isn't UNIT aware by this point that the Doctor regenerates?
>>67748194
That reminds me, I keep putting off that Alastair Reynolds Third Doctor novel.
>>67750084
It's pretty gud, dickship aside. Reynolds does some really cool stuff with the Master, made me want to seek out some of his non-Who work
>>67748310
He probably did, and if you have a daughter you know they like conflict and will like things just to spite you.

>>67751673

>>67752617
Reminder that being a hypocrite is bad
I saw in the archives someone asking about the Heart of the Tardis, angry god thing. Now, the line about "a Time Lord would have become a vengeful god" comes from Utopia, and the next episode, Sound of Drums, has the Master reasoning out that the Doctor destroyed Gallifrey and saying "You must have been like God." So, it seems that, at least at that point, the implication was that the Heart of the Tardis is how the Doctor ended the Time War.
>>67753173
The Moment is mentioned in End Of Time though.
>>67753374
That was two years later. I'm just identifying where it seems like Davies started.
A lot of Series 1 changes pretty dramatically in hindsight when you know how it was originally written, with the Daleks instead being the Toclafane.
>>67746079
I like how Azal always shouts in this story because SHOUTING MAKES YOU MORE POWERFUL.

Romana's probably the best off companion right now if she didn't end up kicking the bucket in the Time War. Narvin looks set to win the Romana-bowl.
Everyone else is forever alone, holed up in an alternate dimension, dead or has an extremely unhappy future version of themselves.
>>67761809
I wonder if she'll appear in future War Doctor boxsets.
>>67761837
I'm tired of Ollistra but I think they're afraid of alienating the Romanafags.
>>67761809
I mean the like latest development with Jo is that she'straveling with Iris
That's pretty much an upgrade
>>67761993
I haven't started the Iris audios yet. It sounds much better than what Benny (because of asshole Braxiatel) and Susan went through, honestly. Sometimes I think that BF just likes to make everyone suffer.
>>67761889
Leela's turning up the fourth boxset, hopefully they can squeeze Romana in, or at least a mention of her.
>>67762053
>Romana's role in the Time War
I'd give my hand to see the Doctor's reaction to that. Oh boy, the shit is going to go down.

No that's not sadly. That character reminds me of the Irving Braxiatel in the Bernice Summerfield adventures though.
>>67764764

>>67764734
There's an episode called a 'Tub Full of Cats' and it's surprisingly brutal.

Big Finish why you do this to me
>>67765824
2, 7th Doctors?
>>67765824
At least we got Theatre of War adapted by BF and he's appearing in Enemy Lines (albeitnot Collection!Braxiatel). But no more Doctor meeting Brax.
And it's not like the Doctor would even want to meet Braxiatel anyway after all theshitflinging with the Deindum, the fact he took over Maximediras by force and convincing them to genocide the Mim, killed a human version of himself, tried to arrange it so that Bernice got raped and basically rewrote her entire timeline.
>>67765982
what nihon show is this?
>>67766000
It's Boku Dake ga Inai Machi AKA Erased. Show about a serial killer with a few extremely soft time travel shenanigans (so it's a little bit different from your Doctor Who formula.) It's not as good as the GOAT episodes like Heaven Sent or Chimes of Midnight which I would give a 10/10 but it's pretty solid plotwise. Ending is a bit disappointing so I'd give it 7/10.
>>67765982
Braxiatel did nothing wrongexcept everything
>>67765982
I guess I should be happy that pic related was produced in the first place.
But it would be so cool!
>Because of her interaction with the Doctor's timeline, Clara Oswald met the Doctor in many forms, each time being born and dying. She met every one of the Doctor's first eleven incarnations, each time saving his life.

haven't got that far in spin-offs
but do know that he risked his life by letting the 1st doctor and Susan steal a Tardis, in one of the comics
I got the impression he might be a Mycroft figure.
>>67766346
Even taking that into account, the situation is just way too convoluted
What determined the number of splinters and where and when they appeared relative to the doctor's timeline? How was it possible that clara could, without fail, defeat the GI every single time he played a trick?
>>67766398
>I got the impression he might be a Mycroft figure.
Oh yup he definitely is. The Mycroft to the Doctor's Sherlock. Fascinating, but inscrutable.
>>67766400
>How was it possible that clara could, without fail, defeat the GI every single time he played a trick?
This desu. They emphasize the fact that Clara is just an ordinary girl but the GI is a fucking lovecraftian horror (or at least he was in the classic series) how the fuck is an ordinary girl supposed to consistently defeat him?
>>67766735
>ordinary girl
You mean IMPOSSIBUL GURL surely ?
>>67766735
she hides his balls
>>67766735
well, how did she defeat the Great Intelligence in the Snowman-special? Which makes me wonder, was the Great Intelligence in that christmas special meant to be an echo? Would certainly provide an explanation for why the dates don't match up with the Great Intelligence original story, The Abominable Snowmen, but I don't think that was the intention because then the Dr. Simeon stuff doesn't match up anymore.
And was there an echo of the Great Intelligence in the Dalek-Asylum as well?
>>67766809
But I mean the twist was that there's nothing inherently special about her (at least in a scifi sense) and she was just a regular person who jumped into a time thing.
>>67766894
>Would certainly provide an explanation for why the dates don't match up with the Great Intelligence original story, The Abominable Snowmen
The Snowmen is a prequel to the Troughton stories.
>>67766735
Perhaps splintering was not very kind to his power.
>>67766400
Lets ask Moffat in DWM. He usually gives funny answers to stuff like that. Like that one time he made fun of the War Doctors name. I've emailed in a few before but mine was never used. I wonder how they pick which ones to use.
>>67766923
the dates don't match up though. The Snowmen takes place in victorian england, which means late 19th century. The Abominable Snowmen takes place forty years before Web of Fear, so about the 1920s-1930s. However, it is also stated that the Great Intelligence has been in the mountains possessing Padmasambhava for 200-300 years building yeti-robots.
>>67767108
>However, it is also stated that the Great Intelligence has been in the mountains possessing Padmasambhava for 200-300 years building yeti-robots.
Oh yeah. Well fug.Moffat probably figured the percentage of people who would actually go back and watch the reconstructions of The Abominable Snowmen was so low it wouldn't matter.
>>67766104
i watch Sigurasimi Moon Devil XU
its about the first male student at a high school for girls who are training to be angels... in space!
the girls look like they're 8 but they're actually 600 years old
>>67766735
I don't think it's so much that she defeated him, as she ended up inadvertently being in the right place at the right time to alter whatever the GI had changed. For most of the Doctor's adventures she was no more than some passerby who might be in the background of an episode, it just goes to show that the slightest person can make all the difference. Just by inserting a naff old villain into the sidelines of these past stories, they go from win states to fail states.
But you can't interpret it according to logical phenomena anyway. Like the TARDIS the time stream works in narratives, it puts the GI and Clara into the narratives in a way that 'fits' rather than just dumping them on location.
Which is a pretty way of saying Moffat half assed it because he was running out of time/ideas and had to tease War by the last scene
>>67767040
I want them to continue to do Ask Moffat even after Moffat leaves.
>>67767217
Damn straight, can you imagine how inferior 'Ask Chibnall' will be in comparison?

>>67767192
>Which is a pretty way of saying Moffat half assed it because he was running out of time/ideas and had to tease War by the last scene
pretty much this. You could have used any old villain and the story wouldn't have been any different. Davros, the Master, hell even the Candy Man.

I don't think the show is actually aware of the irony here.
>>67767180
>not sticking to normal speculative fiction like scifi
RIP
>>67767467
Also I think this is kind hypocritical consider the Doctor spends the whole story defending science and doing science stuff. Like it's cool for him to be a scientist, but we shouldn't let these dumbass humans have any scientific knowledge, they'll only blow themselves up probably (and the "probably" is baffling. Shouldn't the Doctor already know whether an apocalyptic nuclear war will happen?).

CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!!!
why do the BBC feel the need to shit all over the Time Lords and their realm whenever they display them on screen? Gallifrey looks like a shitty clone of Mars with a giant snowglobe in it and the Time Lords look like a bunch of LARPing retards in Fancy Dress.
To do them justice, with how they're built up, you simply cannot have them on screen unless you have the art direction and production values to match. Because they look like a joke.
>>67769926
This...
>>67769926
low budget problems,
The only way to do this would to have a series with multiple episodes set on Gallifrey, they could afford to spend some dough on a few sets they could re-use. We know what happened the last time they did something like that.

>>67769926
>why do the BBC feel the need to shit all over the Time Lords and their realm whenever they display them on screen?
because that's literally their entire purpose in the new series. Whenever they are mentioned or shown the Doctor dominates them. He wipes them out, then wipes them out again and then saves them, and all of that single-handedly. Last year there were people who kept saying that the Time Lords would return and then send the Doctor on missions and put him on trial like they did in the classic series and I was seriously perplexed because after everything the Doctor did I simply couldn't see him go back to such an underdog-status.

This.
To portray the Time Lords as living up to the hype is to miss the point of them (at least post Deadly Assassin), which is that for all their pomp and power, they are the miserable and bureaucratic alternative to the Doctor's mercurial lifestyle. Glamorising them as some epic militaristic force of elder gods, or even giving them a decent budget, would be giving in to a decidedly troublesome set of values.
Doctor Who, intentionally or otherwise, is far better suited to depicting these sorts of things as faintly ridiculous. Bring on the fancy dress.
>>67771417
I think the Time Lords as a cosmic force is a very interesting idea too, but only if balanced with their pathetic, stupid qualities. Lawrence Miles does this really well - they engineered the fundamental rules of the universe and commit all sorts of atrocities against races they deem a threat, but they also piss themselves in fear when someone shows up with a spooky skellington outfit because it reminds them of death.

The narrative can be as morally opposed or neutral towards them as it likes, but the mere act of making them an impressive spectacle for the audience - and therefore indulging the viewer pleasure of seeing such a spectacle - gives them (and what they represent) a kind of legitimacy. "They might be bad but crikey aren't they cool?"
>>67772741
Nevermind it was. I was thinking of filming shots instead of how the episode looked.
>>67772741
No, and in some of the barn scenes in previous stories. There were blue skies. They definitely corrected this in Moffat's time.

>and therefore indulging the viewer pleasure of seeing such a spectacle
It's not just the viewer but the Doctor and everyone to which he's preached the glory of Gallifrey and his people.

tfw don't know what you're talking about
What do I need to infosorb to understand the references?
>>67772641
It was always a dome of some kind in the non-TV stuff. I really dislike the 'snowglobe' look, personally.
I wish Gallifrey was more like Krypton seen in "Man of Steel" but we all know the budget is not up to that.
>>67772902
This. Miles books, clearly, but EDAs or the later, stranger ones?
>>67772802
tbf it already does that with the Daleks.
>>67772902
>>67772948
We're talking Book of the War stuff here. Probably the most important work in the Faction Paradox series.
>>67772902
>>67772948
it's all in here, the original
>>67772802
Again, what is the problem with that?
Fiction is full of characters and groups that are both bad and interesting, even cool.
Should every character that is morally wrong automatically be made bland and ineffectual? That would be terrible. Not to mention very, very boring.
>>67773310
many different factions on Gallifrey with different motives can only be a good thing

Do it. Revelation Space is wonderful, and came out a couple of years before the first Mass Effect game. You can tell a lot of the setting and plot points were inspired by that novel. I like his characters too.

I had forgotten how shit it was.
Right from the get go.
I watched until the second adverts and then I had enough.
Shitposting on /who/ is a much more enjoyable experience.
>>67776519
Phuck off, it's a great story - One of the best of the new series.
>>67776519
I like it.
>>67776519
I like the setting desu, it's fantasy and really alien. the use of sentimental value as currency is a nice fantasy thing as well.
>>67776519
Shits all over S9.

>S9 hater defends shit episode
No surprises here
>>67776732
nah
but it's not deserving of it's reputation at all
>>67776519
That's your fault. Should've watched it at least on grandfather clock.

Where is that pic from?

It's from one of the Loose Canon reconstructions right?

the leaf bit is shit, I wasn't praising that

it was skull and it was just to indicate it was a living being
>>67778181
>The concept of it having 'infinite potential' is fucking retarded and could apply to trillions of objects
It could apply to any object, but no one did that until the leaf. It's dependent on the person offering the item and they weren't trying to defeat it, they were offering simple gifts. The leaf was specifically offered with the sentimental attachment of it symbolising all the unlived days a person could have lived, all the multiple timelines they could have created, which is 'infinite potential'.

>>67778995
>>67778985
I guess I'm the only one that just read that story
(Corner of my Eye)
>>67779133
oh, i read the story, I just didn't see the reference at first.
This happened. It's irrevocably canon in the Doctor Who universe. Whenever they look up toward the Moon or anything happens on the Moon, remember it's an egg.
>>67779105
And deny the world my charm and handsome mug? I wouldn't dare.
>>67779133
Probably maybe. It's a short story yes? I think immigrant mentioned it sometime way back when. I want to say eruditorum is involved but surely am mistaken
>>67779222

That's not a thing

What's /who/ think of Bruce Campbell?I adore him, but I think he's all kinds of wrong for the doctor, american or otherwise.
>>67779501
I wish the hiatus had been between Moffat leaving and Chibnall's first series.

Doctop Who
Robin Hood is real. Remember? The Moon is an egg. Remember?
>>67772628
Your perception of what normal people like has been warped by /who/. People who prefer RTD and don't like Moffat by and large don't post in these threads, since there's no real reason for them to. Almost all regular human beings I know who used to watch it dropped the show either during S5, or during S8.
>>67779222
20 years down the line, someone will probably do a story about how the Moon is a spaceship or something else. You know what they won't do? They won't waste significant time on some contrivance to explain why it's not an egg any more. They will just do their own story and not care, in the exact same way they do now. Maybe the contradiction will get a humorous reference a few years later.
Doctor Who stories are not concrete contributions to an inflexible mythos. The reality of Doctor Who is a fractally infinite continuum of hypothetical narratives, whereby any possible configuration of events you could dare dream of can simultaneously be assumed as true and false.
When the time comes, if I am so desperate to reconcile these two Moons into one timeline within my personal reading, I will be able to suggest that some unidentified aliens swapped one Moon out for another in the space of a split second and no-one noticed. And by virtue of there being no evidence for or against this other than the Moon being different between the two stories (for), it will be as valid a suggestion as any.

I, too, express my love for people by writing about them getting absorbed into Peter Kay's arse then dissolving.
L&M is a charming episode until the Abzorbaloff becomes relevant.
>>67779819
plebs
>>67780102
I agree with them, I come here to give /who/ some perspective and also to shitpost.
>>67780068
Well they're not wrong, Love and Monsters is mostly hated by autistic "hard sci-fi" fans.
Mattress saying she has a daughter was series 10 foreshadowing.

I've been saying this for ages. Compare Elton to Mr Teatime, he's got fantastic range, and that's before you even factor in Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.
>>67781047
I still haven't finished Strange and Norell, but he was great replacing Capaldi in the Musketeers. A very different role than that of elton in DW. Rather sinister.
