The Keeper of Traken edition
What does /who/ think of the introduction of Nyssa and reintroduction of the Master?
Last thread >>70583887
I like candy! Up the arse!
>>70614633
I like pretty much all of season 18. It was good to see proper Dr Who again after years of The Tom Baker Comedy Half-Hour.
>>70614733
This guy gets it!
Not really. Twas a jest.
Don't forget to forget me
>>70614633
I always thought they were pronounced Trayken and Traymas but it turns out they're Trahken and Treemas.

Do a Gareth one.
My love for Gareth Roberts is so great,
my heart melts for him 'til the dusk of day.
The night Tweets when him's away,
Writes, drinks 'til day's dawn.
Him beauty is great,
Wondering mind 'til him sees,
immigrating is all I do,
While waiting for the moment, for him to say "I do."

>>70619242
DoTD happens after 10th feels the pleasure of being filled with hot sticky radiation from EoT
>>70619494
No it doesn't you absolute dumb cunt. Shut up and go sit in the fucking corner you utter spacker. It happens before he turns up to greet the Ood at the start of TEoT. Hence why he tells the Ood he's been canoodling with Elizabeth I. Get out.

>>70619527
Also it has to be IMMEDIATELY pre-End of Time for the Moff pottery to work - in pic related, each Doctor goes to his death (War then and there, Ten in EoT, Eleven on Trenzalore)
>>70621296
Why can the TARDIS change its appearance to look like a different police box but not to look like something other than a police box?
>>70621296
Never noticed that before; Bravo Moffat
>>70621427
The Doctor has managed to get the chameleon circui to work before; maybe he just likes it as a police box but likes to touch it up every now and then
>>70621427
>>70621818
The easy answer is, of course, because it's a TV show and the TARDIS is a prop. But in-universe, you're thinking too literally, in my opinion. TARDISes are strange semi-sentient entities. When there's a fault like the chameleon circuit being broken there's no reason it has to be so straight-forward. It doesn't necessarily mean it has to look exactly the same all the time and can't change. It could just mean that it's stuck on the concept of "police box" and will only work within that definition. And all those designs, although different, are obviously still poice boxes.
>>70621296
>each Doctor goes to his death
>death
>>70623361
Too pedantic, Pooh. It's actually a pretty cool observation. I never noticed before.
>>70622915
Also, since the Doctor's incarnation and the TARDIS are linked (as seen in The Tenth Planet, where One needs the TARDIS in order to regenate), it's possible the ship changes to match the Doctor's current body.
>>70623772
I wish that was something they alluded to more. Off of the top of my head I can only think of The Christmas Invasion, where the TARDIS' translations weren't working because the Doctor was unconscious and they concluded he was part of the "circuit".
>>70623946
I like how the Sky Pirates exploited that for maximum creepiness, by pointing out that TARDIS translation meant that the Doctor must be, to some degree, interfering with the companions' minds.
>>70624043
Dead Romance takes it even further:
>'He called himself the Evil Renegade. With a capital E and everything. Like he wanted everyone to know he was this...‘
>'Mad scientist,' I suggested.
>'Yeah. He used to go around the universe kidnapping people. He‘d take them on board his timeship, and he‘d... do things with them. Play with their heads. Make them think they were having exciting adventures.'
>>70624226
Yeah, but Dead Romance hints that is all a fiction from the Time Lords.
The Doctor in "Sky Pirates" is still a good hero. But he's also a Lovecraftian monster. It's the paradox, and the plausibility of it, that makes it creepy.
>>70624226
Is Dead Romance written in first person?
>>70624661
Yes.
>>70624767
Interesting. I've never read Miles' doing first-person, and I think I've only read one first-person DW novel in general.
>>70624881
It's a good book. Even though the story barely features the Doctor, it's definitely a story set in the Whonisverse, which shows the side of the Time Lords that we don't get in normal Who--that Time Lords are horrific creatures that see humans as bugs. To say anymore would be big spoilers.
>>70623361
You're just mad that the Doctor isn't part of your "Pooh's adventures".
>>70625129
Yeah, I'm definitely going to read all of Miles' books eventuallyand every other Doctor Who book
>>70624881
Time and Relative is another (very good) first person view story.
Ghost Ship is a first person novel from the point of view of...the Fourth Doctor. It's as barmy as it sounds.
And Eye of Heaven is a book from Leela's 1st person perspective. It's, from what I've heard, great.
>>70625632
What Miles books have you read so far?
If you need any pdfs, just let me know.
>>70625726
>Time and Relative is another (very good) first person view story.
Yeah that's the only one I've read so far. It was good.
>Ghost Ship is a first person novel from the point of view of...the Fourth Doctor. It's as barmy as it sounds.
I remember this too. An old trip was reading it once, before the terrible people here chased her off.
>>70625782
>What Miles books have you read so far?
Alien Bodies, Interference, Down, and The Adventuress of Henrietta Street
>If you need any pdfs, just let me know.
I have them all already, thanks.
>>70625950
>old trip
Granddaughter. Never forget.
I've read Alien Bodies, Interference, Christmas On A Rational Planet, and part of Adventuress, which I need to finish. And Dead Romance, obviously.
How's Down?
>>70626064
I can see why you haven't finished Adventuress, since it reads like non-fiction (which I admire Miles for doing, it must have been hard). Down's decent. Quite a bit goofier than the other ones I've read, lots of humour and things like mammoths and nazis. It's the only Benny media I've consumed so far.
>>70626172
>I can see why you haven't finished Adventuress, since it reads like non-fiction
Now I feel like a pleb.
Seriously, Adventuress is exactly what I like to see in Who, but it was somewhat dense. Nevertheless, I did like it.
Check out "Oh No It Isn't" for Benny. I need to read some more Benny myself. She's a fun character.
>>70626172
>>70626288
He also did a Benny audio, The Adolescence of Time - it's his only Big Finish work.
>>70614633
Nyssa was a rather nice companion. Smart, nice, and willing to shoot someone whaen she got too pissed.
>>70614633
Never saw it. Probably should.
>>70614633
Nyssa is kind of a badass in this one. I feel like this is where her character was strongest.
ay wake the fuck up
>>70629743
Wasn't this story supposed to be her only one? I heard Davison asked them to make her a companion.
>>70631168
Yeah I heard that too.
Kinda fucked up how every time they face off against the Master it's him wearing Nyssa's dad's corpse. I don't think that would have been fun for her.
>>70631168
> I heard Davison asked them to make her a companion.
I wonder why.
>>70631399
>I wonder why.
Because she's a good character/actor.
>>70631315
That and the fact that he destroyed her entire home planet. Shame they pretty much never mention that again.
>>70631315
>>70631587
I believe there's a bit in Time-Flight or something where she says "I hate that face" but that's about it.

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>>70633888
what's so funny anon
>>70633954
Even that article says the same thing.
>>70633954
>“I’m not sure how successfully Clara was able to wipe his mind,” Capaldi told the crowd alongside fellow guest Coleman, adding “I just… I was about to tell you something I can’t tell you.”
>And with a little prodding, Capaldi revealed even more, saying “I just shot something that Clara was still there in,” to the surprise of the crowd.
>>70633999
It's for the spinoff set at Coal Hill where Clara used to be a teacher
I doubt we'll actually see Clara either. Coleman was busy filming her new show while Capaldi was filming.
>>70634137
>that clara was still there in
>still there
>>70633999
>I’m not sure how successfully Clara was able to wipe his mind
old news. peter's been saying this since hell bent aired.
>>70634183
Watch the video. In context he could be saying her memory is still there in, that's the subject they were discussing when he made the comments. It's not really clear either way. Considering the other factor of when this filming happened it makes it unlikely that Clara herself is coming back.

>>70634442
>Note: we watched the NTSC (Region 1) versions of these episodes, so the commentaries will run slightly slower when trying to sync with PAL (Region 2) or other versions.
I still can't believe this is how they deal with the different refresh rates of regions
Or the fact that different regions have different standard refresh rates to begin with
It should be good though

>>70637785
I noticed. It was quite frustrating.
>>70637721
Moff expects you to get the point, which is that the Doctor and Clara mutually decided to end their relationship. Whether or not the Doctor regained his memory of Clara, or was only pretending to lose it, or partially remembers, is almost a moot point. It doesn't change the fact that when he found his TARDIS with Clara's message inside, he knew it was time to move on and that he shouldn't go looking for her.
There will probably be some time fuckery either in S10 or Class in the vein of Matt Smith's phone call, but she's not going to actually come back.
>>70631315
>Kinda fucked up
>>70638425
I have no doubt in what this all thematically means, but I don't believe Moffat agrees with himself on what the fuck is going on.

>>70640541
>>70641643
Alright, I watched it so here's my lazy brief review about it:
Man, that was dreamlike, a certain atmosphere that not a single NuWho episode has captured until now. I liked how it was only Capaldi screwing around, trying to solve a puzzle for 45 minutes, I love when The Doctor talks to himself or to the audience so this episode was like a treat to me.
I won't pretend to understand some parts of it, though, especially the hybrid part. Is he part time lord part human? I guess I'll understand that when I watch Hell Bent. Anyways, it was a really good episode, different from the rest, it lived up to the hype, I'm really happy.
Now let's see how disappointing Hell Bent is by comparison.
>>70643422

>>70643402
>>70643266
>>70642970

>>70645090
Do you actually believe there is only one person replying to you, and that more people aren't in on the joke?
>>70642624
Remove the "family" label from it so it could in many different directions. Not that it needs to be more like Torchwood (which it definitely doesn't), but more episodes in the vein of Dark Water would be great. It sucks that parents constantly complain over 'muh family television' when Who attempts to address something dark in a mature way.
Trailer for Class coming soon.
>>70645109
>another question - more time wasting
>>70642624
Less reliance on season arcs, more high-quality individual episodes. Especially stop doing stuff like using "my name's Davros!" as a cliffhanger when he hadn't been in the show for seven years. (The writers-room approach will probably help). Stop using recurring monsters like Daleks, Cybermen etc in the trailersl - no one's excited to see a Dalek anymore, it's been done to death - in favor of things like "Vincent Van Gogh episode with Bill Nighy!" that have more broad appeal.
>>70645641
>Especially stop doing stuff like using "my name's Davros!" as a cliffhanger
That would have been good though if the mirror didn't spoil it.
>>70645641
>van gough episode
>broad appeal
The only people that episode appealed to was depressed tumblrfags
>>70645872
But it only works if you've seen Stolen Earth/Journey's End and know who the hell Davros is - the cliffhanger of your current episode shouldn't rely on something that aired two Doctors ago. (Of course, now that he's found fame on BGT it won't be a problem in future).
>>70645641
>Especially stop doing stuff like using "my name's Davros!" as a cliffhanger
Oh phuck off, that was a good moment. Casual fans can suck it.
It's not a cliffhanger if it's at the literal start of the episode
>>70645909
What?
That was such a fucking cool episode, they could have tossed the entire monster right out of it and just halped Van Gosh not be such a mopey bastard all the time, cause watching all of them hang out was pretty great and beautifully shot.

Wouldn't work, not in Britain anyway. Doctor Who is traditionally an after Saturday teatime family show. And gets top viewing ratings in Britain when treated as such.

Exactly. Worked for 7/ mostly 8 seasons of Nu Who.

>>70649265
The CGI is less shitty.
>>70649322
>am aware viewing figures fell in Britain for this season.
I take solace knowing S9 was received super well critically at least.
>>70649646
Critics are not who the show is aimed at. If the general audience lose interest, they will cancel it.
And the general audience are starting to lose interest.
>>70649688
They're just tired of the current writing and overall style, Chinballs' Eleventh Hour will be a hit.
the shows been on for 10 years. some ratings drop off is to be expected imo.
>>70650065
Other shows such as Eastenders and Casualty have been around longer than NuWho and their ratings are increasing/staying consistent
Out of interest, why does /who/ get to have a general all year round?
>>70650115
Because DW isn't just on TV, there are canon audio dramas being made all the time (which are discussed here), as well as comics and filming news.
>>70650107
soaps always go on forever though
>>70649646
>>70649688

It's really odd. s8 had the highest average L+7 ratings of all NuWho series here in the UK. Then dropped off a cliff at the start of s9. and didn't recover.
Some have blamed the broadcasting coinciding with the Rugby World Cup matches, but how many Doctor Who fans are interested in rugby? Even if it is British rugby?
>>70650145
Ah, makes sense. Thanks.
>>70650200
It's because of Capaldi. No one wants to admit it, but it is.
>>70650235
Then why were the ratings high during S8?
>>70650253
Because it was the debut series of a new Doctor. People weren't familiar with him. They will have continued to watch the series in the hope that he would get better, then dropped it after S8.
>>70650200
>>70650253
S8 was following DotD and Matt's exit so the hype was still pretty strong. The show was at its highest high ratings wise.
If its any consolation, S9 still had the highest viewing figures of any on BBC America.
>>70644935
Does /who/ have a link to Big Finish scripts ?
It would be really appreciated.
>>70648671
I don't think they're going to Comic Con this year dude. Class is nowhere near as popular as Doctor Who to have a panel.
Only way they are going to Comic Con is if there's a Doctor Who + Class panel combined like last year with American Horror Story and Scream Queens.
>>70650381
They used to be in grandaughters books mega, if anyone still has that.
>>70650273
>>70650253
>>70650273
Time to get a hot young Doctor back then?
I think Capaldi is really good in the role, but can understand that he doesn't have the heart throb element.
>>70650654
Dunno about hot, but the next Dr will certainly be younger and Smith-esque. I don't think they'll cast a woman this time. They'll want to play it safe with Chibnall. 14 will be the first woman.
Whatever the reasons are why they went down. I don't think the ratings drop is a real worry atm desu. It stayed consistent 5-6 Mil range and went back up for the christmas special. But if drops lower for Series 10 than maybe you should worry.

>>70645976
Davros is almost as synonymous with Doctor Who as the Daleks themselves; everybody knows who he is.
And even if you don't, the Doctor's reaction, the music, the direction and the cliffhanger are ALL enough to show to any casual veiwer that, whoever he is, Davros is a big deal. It works regardless of if you know who he is or not, it just works better if you know him I guess
>>70614633
So who, Ive been wanting to get more into Classic Who but I'm not sure where to start. Ive no real need to watch in order.
Ive seen Genesis of the Daleks and the Five Doctors. Did the latter because I hear it's a good way to see which one you want to start with. Enjoyed both episodes.
>>70649265
Steven Moffat
Does anybody know where I can watch/listen to/get the commentary tracks for classic Who episodeswithout buying the dvds
>>70651147
They *may* be on DailyMotion, although i havent checked
>>70651052
Start with An Unearthly Child!
(Also, the First Doctor in The Five Doctors was played by a different guy in case you didn't know.)
>>70650378
>S9 still had the highest viewing figures of any on BBC America.
Cool.
>>70651052
Start with Unearthly Child if you're a completionist, or start with Spearhead From Space if you don't want to deal with black and white, slow pacing and missing episodes.
Season 8 (Pertwee) is very filmic and high concept, very serious and very good. It then settles down into the camp, funny kind of B-movie sci-fi we know and love.
A lot of people suggest starting with Tom Baker, which is what I did, but idk.
>>70651387
I meant Season 7 btw, although Season 8 is a transition between the serious and the camp
>>70614733
>>70614764
hey watch your mouths! all the other actors PORTRAYED dr who, tom baker WAS dr who! big difference!
plus it was everyone's bw0y JNT coming in to helm the series and while i reckon he started off pretty good, within ~6yrs or whatever it was already time for "trial of a time lord" with the meta stuff about the new beeb programmer/boss not fancying dr who and trying to kill it off.... and then it came back and gave us koragnon FFS!
so yeah praise JNT for immediately fixing up the tone/cult-of-boilersuit-tom in 1980, but soon thereafter you had 3 chicks in the tardis and then all kinds of campy low-budget !!! that peri's magnanimous tits couldn't even save from being marginalized into some form of self-parody (was it JNT who started the doctors having ?s on their suits? IIRC tom baker eventually got a ? on his maroon pimpsuit, colin baker had a ? or 2 on his collars as well, then sylvester mccoy had a whole stomach chock full of ?s via the sweatervest.
so yeah while i will always <3 the campiness/cheesiness/cheapness of the 80s in a (dare i say?) somewhat ironic way as a connoisseur of "fun-bad"--- not to mention peri and ace FTW (ace grows on you over time with her understated sexuality magnified by her ACTUAL USEFULNESS! she had ladders and explosives FFS! that helps!) ---- yeah still everyone's favorite hawaiian-shirt-rocking-gay-guy (not to be confused with the chainsmoking "big gay showrunner" that was RTD) kind of took dr who to a place where it had to go away for ~15yrs (save a goofy TV movie) and yeah, say what you want about the boilersuit tom comedy (half?) hour but at least it got some ratings dammit!
>>70651052
Good starting points -
>Hartnell - The Aztecs
>Troughton - Tomb of the Cybermen, Enemy of the World
>Pertwee - Spearhead from Space, The Time Warrior
>Tom Baker - Ark in Space, Deadly Assassin, Ribos Operation
>Davison - Kinda, Earthshock
>Colin Baker - Vengeance on Varos
>McCoy - Remembrance of the Daleks

I know he's been criticized as a show runner, but darnit, he's written most of the GOATest eps of NuWho.
>>70614714
does anybody here miss our beloved "big gay showrunner" ??? i reckon any dr who showrunner referred to as 3 initials / an acronym has to indeed love the man-arse, but still even at his worse his dr who felt like it had [something] that the moffat era has not...
idk if that's outright campiness (farting aliens and cutesy wutesy adipose?) or just a general overall feel of a more populist dr who (cuz the RTD era was more keen to show how contemporary television was covering the events going on and etc, alien-catastrophe-on-=christmas became a joke by the time of "turn left") and uhhh.... idk. there was just some kind of warmth and now relative nostalgia for the RTD era that i dont get from the moffuckery era.... maybe it's just PTSD from river and/or the pond-scum?

Yeah, I knew. I loved him in that but apparently people complained that he was too grumpy and didnt play the first Doctor well?
>>70651387
I'd probably do an Unearthly Child after I get more used to Classic Who. 5 Doctors actually didnt feel that far off from what I see in the new stuff pacing wise but Genesis was different.
I did read that first episodes are usually for buildup and third episodes are for stalling.

tip: capitalizing letters doesn't make you intellectually superior. people "type like a 16 year old girl" because it's quicker and more efficient to articulate a point this way. and if you can't read it/understand it, you're the dumb one. and if it's aesthetic bothers you, get a diagnosis for obsessive compulsive disorder or something.

>>70651602
>[moffat wrote] most of the GOATest eps of NuWho
O RLY? yeah early on his episodes were kinda catchy and whatnot with their gimmicks, but over time i find myself liking the empty child / the doctor dances more than anything else (tho i am indeed an eccleston guy)
but yeah all of moffat's episodes/new-monsters/etc tend to deal with primordial children fears.... like being afraid of the dark (vashta nerada) or thinking those creepy statues move when you aren't looking (weeping angels), or they're just like !!!?!?!?! on some shit like the penisfingerses (silence) ---- and while BAD WOLF (and to a lesser extent "torchwood") was a clever seasonlong-meme/recurrence.... man all that crap about lake silencio and/or trenzalore and river's SPOILERS and just.... yeargh. even if it's fucking chibnall my body is ready for post-moffat.
>>70651799
>16 year old girl on her cellphone
>scoffs at being called "pedantic" while s/he's literally pedantic
you know what i do when i find a post on 4chan that i dont fancy reading? i skip right by it and continue on with my life. i dont get all caught up in trying to browbeat someone into conformity/submission via public-shaming. you should try it sometime.
the best part is when someone does their POSTING POLICE(TM) schtick and claims that i'm an autist for typing paragraphs with less-to-no-grammar. there's no fundamental irony to someone going out of their way to stop and tell someone else about how they're supposed to post in their own little so-not-autistic world of mongolian cartoon board/s.
TLDR = i made this one nice and long just for you. anyways, can't we all just get along in what promises to be the final stretch of moffuckery as we flush the proverbial toilet and get ready for the inevitable greatness that will be championed as "the chibnall era" ??
>>70651975
holy shit anon, i think you're the first person in the history of my time on 4chan to ever stuck up for my freedom of expression! thanks!

hahah i just came back to say that this anon here managed to find/follow me to another thread on /tv/ and continue his "tldr you post like a little girl!" crusade!
idk if s/he's a janny/mod (and therefore s/he can focus on my IP and see where i'm going next) or if it was just dumb luck, but it's kinda =] to see that someone is so flustered at your atypical typing/posting style that they have to go from thread to thread to continue their quest to let me know that they exist!
i reckon that'd be like some kind of random rank-n-file alien going out of their way to make fun of tom baker's scarf or something, and they do it on multiple occasions just so tom baker goes "oh it's YOU" and then that little alien can be like "OMFG HE KNOWS I EXIST!"
>/me does existrentialism.
anyways yeah sry to crap up the arse-end of /who/ with meta shit, but i chalk this up to either "the whizz" or just overall joy and exuberance from knowing that moffat is going.
btw, is it formally known yet if the new companion is actually from the 80s or does she just dress retro in a hipsteriffic way?
i wouldn't be surprised if the new companion is a POC lady from the 80s so she can provide some some perspective on how much better the PC world of today is than even back then in the 80s. why i reckon our present / her future must be like a slice of heaven for someone who has to deal with all of the racist bigotry/misogynby that the 80s was up to its eyeballs in.

that's the other bit of irony that i <3 with autistic/OCDish ppl hating on my posting steez.... it's like, ok if my audacity to post is sticking out so badly and ruining the 4chan experience for everyone, then what exactly is your bitching about my posting doing for everyone? do ppl really wanna read that anymore than they wanna read the ramblings of a whizzed out 16 year old girl?

>>70664110
You make it sound like it's difficult. All he'd have to do is send an e-mail.
>>70664110
It'd probably be amazing - really doubt there's any chance, though, even without the notorious blog I don't think he's got any TV experience. I still hold out a faint hope they'll let him back into the books, though, if Justin Richards ever sods off. Even just another Faction project would be nice ;_;
>>70664433
It would be difficult for Moffat, Larry hates the current show. Maybe Chinballs could win him over though.
>>70664491
I really don't think Larry's the one that needs to be won over. The problem is that he's burnt all his bridges, not that he's likely to turn his nose up at offers. He even sent Moffat an e-mail asking him to let him write for the books. Of course, he included something snarky in it to make it sound like he didn't care, but I'm sure there was genuine desire behind the request.
I wonder how much trouble Capaldi got in for letting that spoiler slip. It spawned so many click bait articles about Clara coming back because it's slow news days during the hiatus, but they're probably wanting to promote the new companion instead of getting people talking about the former one.
