>>69215731
to be fair, they couldn't make the ending as originally filmed work so they had to quickly reshoot something entirely new during the making of Pond Life.
That's also why the main villain suddenly turned out to be a hologram. They cut out his death scene and they needed to explain where he suddenly went.
>>69216377
Show your proof or fuck off Chris.
>>69216377
Is there a source on that? Have they said what they originally intended it to be?
>>69216301
That's because they were written as contemporary science fiction novels in the style of novels of the era.
They are compatible with the zeitgeist of the 90s.
>>69216366
>>69216413
http://www.shannonsullivan.com/drwho/serials/2012d.html
>The other significant cut involved the climax. As recorded, there was an extended action sequence in which Rory took down the two orderlies. The Shakri was not a hologram, and instead was defeated when Amy and Rory attacked him with the syringes retrieved from the orderlies, and the Doctor used his sonic screwdriver on the Shakri's devastating ocular weaponry. However, it was felt that this part of the episode detracted from the focus on Amy and Rory's life together, and so Chibnall prepared new material to replace it.
>As such, on June 28th a number of new or amended scenes were recorded. These included a sequence outside Amy and Rory's house, which was taped at Belle Vue Park in Penarth; more material in their home, again at Church Road; and additional content aboard the Shakri vessel, now erected at Roath Lock. This, then, became the true end of Gillan and Darvill's tenure on Doctor Who.

Not all of them.
Love And War, as well as Left-Handed Hummingbird, and Timewyrm Revelations, Christmas On A Rational Planet, were all good. Those books often questioned the concepts of the Doctor's role in the universe, and even when they went wrong, at least they were interesting.

Trump's actually starting to tie and even lead hillary in general election polls. People significantly underestimate the size of his following, and with his unique and incredibly effective technique of 'brand opponents with unelectable traits' that he used against the rest of the GOP candidates I believe it's foolish to suggest he can't achieve the same thing with hillary and end up president
Murray Gold is currently writing a song Bill will sing in the opener. She's a singer whose concert is interrupted by the crash of a spaceship nearby. The Doctor happens to be there and they meet. Her band will appear several times in the series.
>>69217805
more BTTF references?
>>69217436I'd relocate if I could, but I'd go with Hillary just to get the fem president thing over with. She's probably crooked and corrupt and not at all likeable, but things went well economically with the previous clinton administration. She's got foreign policy experience, even if she's hawkish. Trump's a meme incarnate akin to a joke. He's a reality tv star. Best case scenario he's a lame duck and 0 happens for the next 4 years.Any canadians or britbongs want to sponsor my visa?

I live in one and we have a lot of outside activities that might appeal to your interest.
We have a geeky bar in my town which has a huge roleplaying night every week, hosts a shitton of game tournaments, and organizes a Doctor Who night next month.
Also, search for fan activity in your area, I live in France for fucks sake but there's still a classic who fan meetup in my town in a few weeks (it should be easier for you if you're from an english-speaking country) and thanks to cons I even met Big Finish fans in my city.
So don't lose faith, I used to be like you then I started searching for that kind of stuff like a motherfucker and now I even managed to get an autistic girlfriend (and I say that in the best way).

The porn actor?
listening to the FiveWhoFans on spreaker,
its an older podcast about Chiballs taking over.
they've bought up how their not loving Capladi, saying he's a great actor but 12 isn't wowing them.
I'm not sure why people think this exactly, maybe its because 12 hasn't been given something solid to base his doctor around. in series 8 he was unsure of himself and in series 9 he's going to far.
>>69219680
I sincerely hope not

>>69219736
Probably because he's basically another meme Doctor. He's definitely my favourite of the new series, and I really like Capaldi as a person too, but you can't say that his abilities aren't at least a little squandered by Moffat's writing.

>>69220219
How?
>>69219736
Nah, I loved Capaldi long before he became the Doctor and was hyped when he was announced, but I don't think he's been that great.
>>69220286
Why?
>>69220041
everyone seems to be now.
I wouldn't want to be a guy, working in TV, It would be like walking on egg shells,
>>69220258
just the material he's been given. he's had a weak era so far
>>69220336
Who knows? All I know is that I liked most other Doctors better. It's probably 90% Moffat's shitty dialogue, but Capaldi's Doctor only really shines when he's being a grumpy cunt which is actually surprisingly rare.
>>69220457
If Capaldi's era is weak, what's Tennant's? Half his episodes are borderline unwatchable.
>>69221686
The enjoyment of a show is subjective, but i disagree. Tennant's stories were comfy and fun (mostly), and appealed to a mass audience.
The problem with the Moffat era is the quippy, unrealistic dialogue which is borderline cringe to listen to. As well as that, the Moffat era is full of stupidly contrived and overly convoluted plotlines which the casual viewer (the main target demographic) do not give a fuck about.
RTD could write people well. Moffat can't. His characters are too perfect and sassy. Moffat, however, is arguably the 'ideas' man, and is superior to RTD in that regard - he can come up with a good story.
>>69221966

>literally getting offended on someone else's behalf
>>69222789

>tumblr insult in episode
>>69222963
What's being offended got to do with anything? The show being written for fans and alienating to casual viewers is a valid critique and a surefire way for the show to go to shit.
>>69223088
What about that Habbo Hotel reference though? Moffat really gets the kids these days
>>69223141
I'm comparing you to people who get offended on someone else's behalf
what you are doing is basing your opinion on someone else's theoretical scenario instead of your own, which is equally pathetic
>>69223183
I wasn't the person you were replying to originally.
I'm not basing my opinion of of anybody else's scenario. I thought S9 was a definite step-up over the last few years but I'm also perfectly capable of judging if the show is becoming alienating to its target audience. I don't see what could possibly be pathetic about making that assessment.

how would that appease them? he's still snubbed that way, in fact they might see it as a more obvious snub if he doesn't get a nod but a guest star for two episodes does.

>RTD could write people well. Moffat can't.
Doctor Who was never about people. It's about a fucking alien who travels in time and space. That's what I hated the most about RTD: he tried to make Doctor Who something it's not meant to be (i.e. Buffy). I couldn't care less about the companion's family being worried, or thinking the Doctor is a dangerous man. If I'm in the mood for character drama, I sure as hell don't watch Doctor Who in any of its incarnations.

This has me interested but I don't really get it. I've never listened to a Short Trip before. How are they formatted? is it like a script? Or is it like writing prose and then somebody reads out your story?
>tfw /who/ will never go on a cruise with the classic doctors and make noncanon minisodes
>>69242926
It's basically prose that someone (usually the companion to the Doctor that you wrote) reads out.
>>69242949
I'd go on The Cruise of Davros.
>>69242967
Thank you. Is it read out in-character? Should the story sound like a companion retelling an adventure of theirs?
>>69240552
What? I just listened to the song and it reminded me of her death.
>>69240666
Should have replaced Rose desu.
>>69241941
Yes, me too.
>>69242825
Probably because RTD kept rewriting the scripts and forcing the shitty epic romance.
>>69243022
Oh wait it says Briggs is going to be reading it out. So I guess just normal narration? hmm.
>>69243050
Oh wow. What's got into her?
>>69243022
No, it's usually read in third-person.
For example:
>"What are you doing?" The Doctor found Nyssa kneeling in a subchamber TARDIS holding a soldering iron. "You've been messing around down here for ages." Nyssa pushed her hair up out of her face and smiled up at him.
>>69243110
Thanks. I just checked and I have a Short Trip in my collection ("Rise and Fall") so I'll listen to that soon to try and get a feel for the format and then try and come up with an idea for submission.
Coming up with stories that are that short but still interesting is hard though.
>>69243133
Best of luck. I hope a /who/ writer gets chosen.
Threadly reminder that Bill is cute. C-U-T-E!
>>69243133

>>69243110
It's basically just a normal short story from the writer's perspective, the most classic case of an audio book.
>>69243157
Thanks. I doubt I'll even get it together in time but this is still very cool. Especially because it says it's going to be annual. I've been fantasising about writing for Doctor Who for years and so it's great to have a way in.

It's terrible, unnatural RTD era dialogue, as ever.
>>69240997
>Doctor Who was never about people. It's about a fucking alien who travels in time and space.
That's too reductive and doesn't explain the problem with RTD at all.
The concept of Doctor Who and his granddaughter Susan flying around in a box was never something abstracted from the humanity of the characters and prized for its own sake. We are carried through the opening episodes by Barbara and Ian. We like the Doctor because on some level he is also a person.
There is something to be said for how committed the early years were to just putting strange and unfamiliar images on the telly box, but we don't watch the show for special effect whizzbangs. It shines the most in scenes where well-written characters are talking to each other (or to themselves). Travelling in time and space is important because it allows the Doctor to meet new kinds of people in different situations.
At the end of the day there is no getting around the ideological stance adopted by most Who writers post-Cornell, rooted in the Ace era, that the cataclysmic and weird events happening on the sci-fi plane can be a uniquely special means to explore the human condition, rather than existing for their own spectacle. Anyone who wishes stories to exist separately from people will find the last 25 years of Doctor Who writing to be a failed project. Moffat is in this camp as much as RTD (and it's always a funny claim that 'RTD writes people, Moff doesn't' when you compare Martha to Clara).
The difference is that, in making the culturally ingenious move to crash Doctor Who into a soap, RTD inherited some of the genre's cynicisms. Quite often the show coasts on the (reliable) assumption the audience will look past the crapness of its aesthetics and characters and love it anyway. It gets over-familiar in a way that undercuts the potential of the series to be challenging and strange. I would love the family drama in RTD's run if it was done with half the commitment of the best VNAs, but alas.
>>69243317

I think Donna's disbelief at her situation is sweet, but Ten's response to her is too on-the-nose.

It would be less grating if we were allowed to interpret Donna's 'fear, joy and wonder' for ourselves.

Murray Gold is currently writing a song Bill will sing in the opener. She's a singer whose concert is interrupted by the crash of a spaceship nearby. The Doctor happens to be there and they meet. Her band will appear several times in the series.
>>69243559
Awful crap.
Lets post bad dialogue from NuWho and Classic. I'll start.
TEGAN: Oh, great. You make it sound like a shopping list, ticking off things as you go. Aren't you forgetting something rather important? Adric is dead.
NYSSA: Tegan, please.
DOCTOR: We feel his loss as well.
TEGAN: Well, you could do more than grieve. You could go back.
NYSSA: Could you?
DOCTOR: No.
NYSSA: But surely the Tardis is quite capable of
TEGAN: We can change what happened if we materialise before Adric was killed.
DOCTOR: And change your own history?
TEGAN: Look, the freighter could still crash into Earth. That doesn't have to be changed. Only Adric doesn't have to be on board.
DOCTOR: Now listen to me, both of you. There are some rules that cannot be broken even with the Tardis. Don't ever ask me to do anything like that again. You must accept that Adric is dead. His life wasn't wasted. He died trying to save others, just like his brother, Varsh. You know, Adric had a choice. This is the way he wanted it.
TEGAN: We used to fight a lot. I'll miss him.
NYSSA: So will I.
DOCTOR: And me. But he wouldn't want us to mourn unnecessarily.
>>69243563
>>69243666
I'm not lying. The episode starts just like Partners in Crime: Bill is getting ready for her concert this night and sees some suspicious alien activity in town/backstage. The Doctor is investigating but they never meet until the spaceship crashes.
>>69243721
Imagine this scene in New Who now. The Doctor mourns for 300 years and goes in retirement.
Is there a hashtag for doctor who related news that isn't shooting reports?
>>69243721
Cherry picked a single example of a scene which could have been longer and with depth.
Not the same as nuwho cringe soap dialogue.
PS bringing up dialogue from 30 years ago gives the impression that you are hilariously upset and an angry little boy/queer.

>Look, the freighter could still crash into Earth. That doesn't have to be changed. Only Adric doesn't have to be on board.
that's actually a pretty good point. The Moffat-Doctor would do that in a heartbeat.
>>69243966
Death means nothing in Moffat Who.
>>69243850
>tfw Jazz Hands will never be canon
memes make me sad
>>69243893
Classic Who is shit. Their reactions aren't realistic at all, they're like "Oh right, I'll miss him, what's the next planet?". In New Who the Doctor would at least try to save him and failing would certainly be broody for a while (the Rose brooding throughout Series 3 was fucking shit though and the retirement after the Ponds death didn't make any sense but it still showed that he cares) which is at least realistic.
>>69244000

>>69244008
Rubbish bait
>>69244006
it's never occurred to me how absurd jazz hand's elbows look
>>69243966
That would change the very events of them going back to save him like he told Clara after Danny died in Dark Water.
>>69243966
Never mind Moffat, any writer who wanted Adric to not be dead could have done 'the TARDIS picks him up' with minimal justification. Notice how Fivey has no meaningful rebuttal, not even 'the TARDIS can't lock on' etc (might have actually improved the scene). It is a sheer case of contrived writing.
>>69244018
Complete shite. Either trolling or you're an idiot.
>>69244032
It isn't. The Adric scene was shit and clearly written to get rid of him.
>>69244008
>Classic Who is shit.
That Adric dialogue is pretty poop but lets not go crazy now m8.
>>69244008
If you want decently written characters I recommend Seasons 25 and 26.
>>69244049
>Notice how Fivey has no meaningful rebuttal
I always figured he had a "good riddance"-attitude in that particular scene
The spaceship was moving through time erratically and the TARDIS could not get a fix on it.
It's in the dialogue.
>>69244059
Danny Pink
>>69244087
He's not wrong desu. The characters were pretty badly written. The only times departures were done correctly were Susan and Sarah Jane (but even then 4 completely forgets about her the very next episode).

Actually I think Adric is a rare special case where that wouldn't apply. They couldn't see him on the freighter when it crashed. It would be their own assumption of his death that spurred them to act, not the actual legit proof of it. Plucking him off of the freighter wouldn't retroactively undo that motivation.

Someone make the new thread
>>69244116
Actually, after the freighter comes out of warp drive this is no longer the case. The TARDIS console being damaged was what actually stopped the Doctor from boarding at the last minute.
Although if the question is still 'does Time-Flight open with bad dialogue', the Doctor's failure to mention any demonstrable factors stopping him from saving Adric (even if there are any) still makes it bad dialogue. When he harps on about 'changing your own history??' he's not acknowledging >>69244165
>>69244350
too early. lets wait a little bit.
>>69244361
Are you crying because someone pointed out RTD era's shitty dialogue, kid?
Show me an example of good dialogue from each Classic, RTD and Moffat Who. You can't because the show's dialogues are badly written. It's okay, not something to cry over.

>>69244704
I'll never understand why people still make shitty OPs. we've been doing this for literally years now, it's not hard
>>69244752
How, pray tell, is that a shitty OP? It has a general edition, a link to the previous thread and includes '/who/' to make it easily searchable
>>69244704
op pls
>>69244787
every thread should be titled "/who/ - Doctor Who general" or something that includes each of those words to accommodate for the different ways people search for the threads
this one isn't particularly bad though, i was just talking in general
>>69244850
there's no reason to search anything other than /who/
>>69244867
some of us search differently :(
>>69244922
for what purpose? '/who/' is objectively more efficient. All you need to do is type '/w' and the thread will be the only remaining result. Typing 'who' or 'doctor' will come up with baneposting threads as well
i'm going to be last of the /who/lords btw
>>69244997
I don't know, I've just always done "doctor" and i haven't made the change yet. i just type "d" and it autocompletes at the end. very easy
i remember a time when calling the threads "dr. who" made a noticeable difference in activity. sometimes they'd even 404. it doesn't seem to make much of a difference now though, maybe everyone searches "/who/" these days
>>69245141
oh i just found a valid reason. typing "/who/" at the end of the url brings you to a 404. typing "doctor" searches it for you
>>69245003
You sure?
