It's gone upmarket, this place. They're doing little tubs of quotes now. It's alright, tastes a bit sort of shitposty
How about an episode where the Doctor and Clara become stranded on a planet with no technology and the TARDIS can't work. They think they're stuck here until they find a way to make technology work again, but it's inside a temple that the inhabitants refuse to go into, and Clara decides to go and activate the thing and she's stuck inside the temple. Meanwhile technology works again and the Doctor can leave in the TARDIS. Clara deactivates the thing and has the promise the Doctor will come back for her, but as we see in a montage as she's sitting on a rock: days and weeks pass, with her hair growing longer and longer, children playing around turning into adults, ... the Doctor is not coming back. But he is, he finally finds a way and they're reunited.

Why can he suddenly not steer the Ship with the 100% accuracy of recent stories?
>>71627645
Stargate already did this in the Weather machine episode.

>>71627679
Well there wouldn't be two versions of Clala just the dilemma of who gets left behind until she makes the decision by herself.
>>71627697
Because he landed on the planet without knowing the TARDIS wouldn't power up?
>>71627811
I don't watch Stargate.
>>71627873
>Because he landed on the planet without knowing the TARDIS wouldn't power up?
Sorry but this makes no sense. It can go back in time no matter how long it takes to fix but you said it started working again, anyway.
>>71627938
Technology doesn't work on the planet because there's some sort of field that can be enabled/disabled. You enable it and all technology stops working, disable it and the TARDIS works again. Sorry am I not clear?
>>71627645
Wait, so does deactivating the 'thing' free her from the temple? If that's the case, once they see what's inside the temple, why don't they just tell everyone, and then get one of the people who lives on the planet to do it for them? If the temple could just be deactivated once they're away in the TARDIS, no-one would need to get stuck.
>>71628007
And then he goes and gets Clara 5mins after she deactivated the thing.
>>71628007
It's also basically Death to the Daleks m8
>>71628182
Except Death to the Daleks wasgood.
This is what happens when terrible tragedy happening to the companion becomes the focus rather than starting with a good plot.
>>71628206
Lmfao yup
>>71628023
>Wait, so does deactivating the 'thing' free her from the temple?
Nope, well she isn't strictly speaking stuck in the temple but she can't go back to the TARDIS.
>If that's the case, once they see what's inside the temple, why don't they just tell everyone, and then get one of the people who lives on the planet to do it for them?
The temple is a sacred place for the inhabitants. They can't go in there for two strangers. You wouldn't ask a religious person to do something forbidden by their religion. The temple is actually a machine that allows the inhabitants to be safe as one day other races wanted to steal their technology and kill them. Thanks to the temple no ship could land but they cut themselves from the outside.
>>71628049
>And then he goes and gets Clara 5mins after she deactivated the thing.
The field works on the entire planet, if someone closes before they get outside the atmosphere, the TARDIS will power off and fall. Also, they can't activate the thing again if they're both in the TARDIS as it can't enter the temple.
>>71628182
Haven't seen it.
>>71628241
Nah, he'd come back a few weeks later to save her.
Stopped watching after Smith left, worth getting back into?

I now think you are trolling. No one could misunderstand what's being said to this extent.
>>71628428
>he still hasn't seen heaven sent
>>71628435
M8 I told you the TARDIS can't enter the temple and it closes meaning Clala can't get out. So even if he materialised outside, she wouldn't be able to leave the temple and get to the TARDIS. And like I said, if they left without activating the field again that'd basically be killing everyone on the planet. Think of it as Trenzalore, if Tasha Lem had removed the field, every single ship would have attacked.

This guy has been posting his fanfic episodes here for the better part of a year and is notoriously bad at understanding people's criticisms of them.

This is literally the second time I post an episode idea m8
Reminder the guy that wrote this is going to be showrunner.
does this mean S10's opening titles will be
PETER CAPALDI
PEARL MACKIE
MATT LUCAS
They'll have to change the entire opening sequence if that's the case, last time they had 3 names in the credits (Last Christmas) it didn't work and they had to put Nick Frost's name after the Doctor Who titling.
>>71628610
I highly, highly doubt Matt Lucas will make the opening titles. When they announced the readthrough, the photo was of Peter and Pearl's name cards together.
Narsehole in da house
>>71628610
Hope there's a new title sequence. The one we've got at the moment is shit
>>71628708
Who's that qt!
>>71628610
I don't think Matt Lucas is going to be as prominent as some people think he is, more likely than not I'm expecting him to be a patternoster-esque recurring character rather than an actual companionIf he actually did end up being a second companion for the series I honestly don't know whether that'd be interesting or awful
>>71628708
This is a fake picture. It's photoshopped!
>>71628577
that scene looks horrible, but it's not the writing's fault.
>>71628717
I like the effects but the theme tune is meh.
They should just reuse The Fifth Doctor theme because it's objectively the best and will never be topped.

hello Paul Magrshole
Eccleston's theme was great, fast paced and alien but still felt spooky and alien.
The theme just got worse over Tennant's run though, especially in Series 4 where it just sounds like a weak ass bunch of trumpets.
Could never really get into any of Smith's themes much, didn't really like the changes they made to the intro. Season 7 was a slight improvement.
Capaldi's theme is pretty great, I wish they'd play the Middle 8 though because it sounds soo much better.
Was excited when I heard there'd be changes to the Series 9 theme until we found out it was literally just a blue tint
>>71629228
Yeah well Adam and Peter are friends too so he can meet him how many times he wants.

The key to making "the new Daleks" in 2016 is that they have to be cute or funny somehow. Not necessarily in an Adipose way, they still need to be threatening, but a level of cuteness and quirkiness is essential. The criteria for becoming a huge merchandisable meme is different today to what it was in 1963. Look at the Minions for example.

1511: Michelangelo is commissioned to create some very special sculptures by a mysterious sect. But as he carves, angels seem to emerge fully-formed from the rock. Almost as if they are alive…

1.2 Judoon in Chains by Simon Barnard and Paul Morris
The Sixth Doctor is no stranger to courtroom drama, but faces a very different challenge when he prepares to defend a most unusual Judoon.
After an environmental clearance mission goes wrong, Captain Kybo of the Nineteenth Judoon Interplantary Force is stranded in Victorian England, bound in chains, an exhibit in a circus show. But he has allies: Eliza Jenkins – known to audiences as ‘Thomasina Thumb’ – and the larger-than-life ‘clown’ in the colourful coat.
Uncovering a trail of injustice and corruption, the Doctor and Kybo soon find themselves on trial for their lives…

That is, until vicious aliens arrive on her space station intent on opening its Vault. What will it mean for the human race if the Sycorax take control of what’s inside?
And when the Seventh Doctor arrives on the scene, can he convince Zanzibar to care about her life long enough to help him?

1.4 The Sontaran Ordeal by Andrew Smith
An instant of the Time War brings centuries of conflict to the planet Drakkis, and the Eighth Doctor is there to witness the terrible results.
A Sontaran fleet, desperate to join the epic conflict, follows in its wake to take advantage of the fallout. But when Commander Jask is beamed down to the ravaged surface, there is more to his arrival than first appears.
Soon, an unlikely champion joins forces with the Time Lord to fight for the future of her world, and together they must face the Sontaran Ordeal…

They are a concept. A sentient idea. That's why whenever you're physically observing them IRL, i.e. making them real, they stop working.
Even a video image of them is just a pattern of light copied down to create a separate representation of them, not the real thing (which is why the video can come to life and attack).

It's the natural extension of their original concept. Anything that stops existing when you confirm that it's real, must by nature only exist as an idea.
And if it's the idea that's the threat, any vector for transmitting that idea must also transmit the threat. Hence every image of an Angel is an Angel
Moffat never had an opportunity to elaborate on it in the way it deserves, but his insertion of the "ideas that could think for themselves" speech is clearly gesturing to all of this.

Why not? They're still physical statues, they can still go places and fuck people's shit up.
>and then he subverts the quantum idea with the angels able to move if they THINK you are not looking etc
Not quite...actually it was the exact opposite. They are able to freeze if they think you are looking at them, even when you aren't. (Nowhere was it said that these are especially intelligent creatures, considering how they were beaten in Blink.) But that's not the same as actually getting quantum locked, which is what happens when you look at them for real.
>>71631788
It's the end of human culture, a point in time somewhere around the turn of the 21st century. Forces in the War (maybe the Great Houses, maybe the Enemy, no one knows for sure) who feared what humans might become did something to sterilize our potential, resulting in the world we have today - braindead mass media, endless wars, political infighting - instead of the future from old Doctor Who where Britain had a Mars mission in the 70s.

Nardole will be in it, but can't be a 'guest' becos he's going to be a recurring character in s10. We'll probably find out how his head gets a new body.

I like to think it was the Great Houses, and the posthumans are the Enemy, rising in retaliation for their centuries of lost development. Earth is the Enemy's houseworld, after all.
... or more accurately, the posthumans were one of the infinite possibilities for the identity of the Enemy, which was constantly in flux. But then the Doctor used the Moment, collapsed (or maybe decohered?) the flux into one answer, and chose the answer most convenient for him. The answer that he was most familiar with. The answer that was vital to his world, both in the story and out. For the show's next most recognizable symbol besides the Tardis is -
And the consequences of this collapse reverberated backwards and forwards throughout space and time, so that the Enemy had always been the Daleks, and the Daleks had always been the Enemy ...

Faction Hollywood might be my favorite doctor who-related idea
>>71632214
>It's the end of human culture, a point in time somewhere around the turn of the 21st century. Forces in the War (maybe the Great Houses, maybe the Enemy, no one knows for sure) who feared what humans might become did something to sterilize our potential, resulting in the world we have today - braindead mass media, endless wars, political infighting - instead of the future from old Doctor Who where Britain had a Mars mission in the 70s.
I thought the whole idea of the Ghost Point was that Doctor Who was created by hundreds of mid-to-late-20th-century humans, so nothing in it, even the supposedly cosmic aspects like the Time Lords' technology, is beyond the limits of the imagination of a mid-to-late-20th-century human SF writer. I though it was meant to be saying that humans from our world are vastly more powerful than any entity in the Doctor Who universe, since we actually created it.Or did I just not understand

>>71633213
The idea that the Cybermen are the descendants of Voord comes from a Grant Morrison comic, The World Shapers. It's mentioned offhand in Interference that the Voord are a Faction offshoot and the ancestors of the Remote, so I thought it was fun to combine those ideas.
>>71633088
You don't know any of that for a fact. This is based on assumptions.
>>71633037
>fake argument with himself

Combines interestingly with the recent Four Doctors comic, where we see the War Doctor working with some Voord who were drastically changed by the Time War.
>>71633604
>talking to yourself
Pathetic, when will you stop talking with yourself?
If Dollard does do an Ancient Egypt story, then I will take any bet it is about a black, female Pharaoh, with a tragic life, who was erased from history by "the Patriarchy".

Sarah Dollard is a leftist progressive, hell bent on forcing her political agenda into her scripts. and it is an outrage that she is allowed to return yet Gareth Roberts is not.
The same goes for the hack known as Peter Harness, who always seems keen to label conservative ideas as morally unacceptable in his stories.
Why are conservative voices silenced? Why aren't genuinely talented writers allowed to return to the show? Why must we be forced silly leftist ideals on Doctor Who?

"Don't cremate me" was fucking brutal, though. While watching it I remember thinking "blimey, can they really get away with this?"
Did you cry?

>>71634211
Catching up to the 10th doctor adventures, Technophobia is pretty okay considering how much it emulates a standard RTD episode.
I mean, they even had the "evil alien masterplan is completely destroyed by pure luck and flipping a switch". The dedication of the Big Finish is truly laudable.
But in all honesty, the DoctorDonna banter was 10/10, and that's all I asked for.
>>71627645
A few Big Finishes have gone along the lines of that. Mel spent six months without the Doctor in 1782, then Peri and Erimem spent two years in the 1480s.
>>71635169
Not a lot. I don't actually watch the show. I just come here to shitpost. My mother used a lot of drugs whilst she was pregnant and she also dropped me on my head a few times you see.
So I just started on Torchwood, and honestly it's better than the last 2 seasons of Who.

I'VE WAITED LONG ENOUGH FOR FUCK'S SAKE
>>71635410
Dinosaurs on a Spaceship is pretty silly.
Power of Three is pretty silly.
Pond Life was pretty light and fun until the end.
But at the same time he did 42, which is THE GOAT tense survival episode, so I dunno.
We'll prolly have the most normal season yet, with a bunch of nice episodes and the obligatory shit ones, but it won't have the pizzazz and happenings of the Moff era.
>>71635328
From the 0.0 WHERE TO BEGIN:
>SCREAM OF THE SHALKA is set immediately after an unknown incarnation of the Doctor fights off an alien invasion that had killed all the Time Lords. This Doctor also appears in THE CABINET OF LIGHT, the first installment of the post-War timeline-hopping "Time Hunter" spinoff series.
>>71635410
He also wrote a sex gas episode and Cyberwoman.
>>71635506
No one has asked him.
>>71635508
>42, which is THE GOAT tense survival episode
I've never heard it referred to as such

tbqh if the Cyberwoman actually looked like a mashed up talking corpse in half finished suit then it would have been pretty good. What we got was on porno parody levels.

The design was the worst aspect but the script was garbage.

>>71636137
So did Mortimore also burn bridges with Big Finish? Because he hasn't done anything with them in ages. Which sucks, since the Natural History of Fear was great.
>>71636250
I don't think he burnt bridges, he's been with the crew ever since the Audio Visual-days. Isn't he still doing music for the releases?
>>71636250
Probably not Big Finish specifically, he was going to do a Faction novella called Opus Majus a few years ago but nothing ever came of that either. Maybe he just reaally wanted to work on the Blood Heat thing, I dunno.
>>71636080
>>71636524
Thanks! Have you read it? I think I'll drop a 5er on it, only have to register a Paypal.
I thought he was still working on Opus Majus. Idk, I'll scroll through the Facebook group, maybe he's mentioned it there.Also, do you go by any other name, on cytube or reddit or whatever? You've been very help

although he said a year or two ago that he's still planning on completing that book, other projects were just more important that moment.
Obverse is in general pretty chill about these matters. An Iris-collection edited by George Mann was announced for 2015 and is now finally nearing completion for example, so who knows what next.

I've just got the original, didn't entirely see why it needed to be longer desu (except maybe to add more Benny stuff, she was barely in it the first time round). OM sounds brilliant though, something about Roger Bacon looking for time missing from the calendar - maybe the foundations of the Eleven Day Empire? Hope it still happens.Nah, I'm just me.
