>The Three Doctors, Richard Hurndall and a Waxwork edition
Nice.
>>72067623
Colin Baker was easily the best thing about his episodes.And I even liked Mel.
6 was the worst Doctor.
>>72068265
>>72067623
Please show me examples of this because I don't believe you
>>72067394
Heh. Right, I remember this photo from 1983. That's the Tom Baker wax figure from Madame Tussaud's in back.
This 20th book was top tier for a pre-internet young man with fuck all stories on vhs.
>>72068265
It's funny because he ended regenerating into one of the most based Doctors of the show, rivaled only by 12 and MAYBE 4.
Is 7 the most overrated Doctor? I like Sylv but he's got to be one of the worst actors to play the role.
>>72068873
>>72069083
7 is absolutely based. His last 2 seasons are where he starts to get good, and if you continue on with the books and audios, he has some top tier stories and an excellent arc
>>72069083
I don't think 7 is overrated, he's probably the most morally interesting Doctor and one of my favorites.
But I have to agree that McCoy is definitely one of the worst among the 13 canonical Doctor actors, if not the very worst. Mind you, he can be great sometimes. But he has put in some really weak performances over the years as well.
Speaking of 7, the newest Main Range and the next 2 have Mel and Ace. When do these take place?
>>72069991
After the anthology release that came out last December. Which in turn takes place after the Hex stories.
>>72070360
Alright, thanks for that, just wondering how he got back with Mel, but I haven't listened to the anthology
WAIT A GOD DAMN SECOND
HOLD UP

FOLKS
UH
Why would 11 start regenerating in The Impossible Astronaut if he is, in fact, the 12th incarnation?
Probably some bullshit to do with the tesseract
>>72070441
Because it wasn't really 11, just his robot "Doctor's suit". He was rusing.
Cloister, you around?
>>72070441
Because it wasn't 11 regenerating, it was the tesseract putting on a light show
>>72070546
Yeah I thought that'd be the get out clause. Did Amy and Rory know about regeneration at that point? I wonder what they thought the glowing shit flying out of his hands was.
It is pretty funny how the doctor Tricked The Universe into accepting him not dying
>>72070441
>Probably some bullshit to do with the tesseract
River gives 11 regeneration energy in LKH, He uses some energy in ATM to heal River's wrist which she also called a "stupid waste" so whether or not it was a robot doesn't matter because 11 did genuinely have extra energy.
So either he had some left over from LKH or the exact amount of energy Time Lords have isn't exact and varies between people like any other biological process. He had some left to heal minor problems, but not enough energy to actually complete a regeneration.
>>72070441
You have to remember that this was probably before the War Doctor even was a concept so 11 -> 12 was still a possibility
>>72070782
All the scenes where it seems like 11 is about to die (like when he decides to drive off a cliff with Amy in Amy's Choice) read differently, with the knowledge that was his last life.
>>72067394
Five Doctors is top comfy.
http://www.strawpoll.me/10765585
>>72071159
It'll be interesting to note that when I rewatch Smith's run. To be fair though, suddenly deciding to sacrifice yourself and knowing that you're going to die at a specific time in the future are entirely different scenarios and you would act differently under.
I don't know if what I just said is entirely relevant and considered deleting it but whatever
I legitimately miss cats!
Did they fuck?
>>72067394

>>72071250
This
Probably one of my favourite Davison stories, and I think it's better than Three Doctors and Two Doctors. Shame Hartnell couldn't have been in it, and Tom was still being grumpy and refused to be in it.
What would Weeping Angels be like in Hartnell era?
>>72072410
Extremely difficult to make work, due to the lack of editing tools at the time and the fact scenes had to be shot as live.
If it wasn't for that, they could potentially have been even creepier in the lack of colour and fuzzy image quality.
>>72072410
Basically impossible to film
Speaking of classic doctors with weeping angels, isn't Big Finish making that audio with 5 and the angels? I'm trying to imagine the angels in an audio story and it just doesn't seem like it'll work
>>72073365
The characters will just start announcing what they are doing with their eyes
>I'm closing my eyes now!
>My eyes are closed! Help!
>I just opened my eyes and this statue is here!
>I'm looking at a statue!
>>72073690
Fuck that's sounds awful
>>72074410
Most of the audios are.
>>72075483
>Most of the audios are.
Objectively wrong
>>72075553
You know deep down it's true.
Speaking of Audios and the 7th doctor just listened to The Rapture last night. Holy fuck that was awful.
>it actually turned out to be real angel dust and not a joke
Also Ace was annoying as fuck in it, I ended up just looking at pron for the last part and completely ignored it, can't believe the worst audio is coming up fairly soon. I am dreading Nekromanteia
>>72069083
I don't think McCoy's a bad actor at all, he's just got one very specific weak area, which is "being loud and the center of the scene." If he can do it quietly and off center he kills it, but when it comes to the whole yelling thing, not so much.
>>72075553
there are plenty of good audios, and some of the audios are among the best Doctor Who ever, but like 60% of BF's output is pretty bad
like I listened to Storm Warning again last night and its...not good
>>72077870
What would you say the audios do right that the main show doesn't, and vice-versa?
>>72077870
It's not bad, either. It's just mostly unremarkable.
I prefer the audios to the TV show.
>>72076664
I actually relistened to The Rapture a while ago. While the plot was pretty bad and McCoy and Aldred's acting wasn't their best, it dealt with fucked-up teenagers quite well, and it also had some really creative uses of sound design, especially to portray people being high. On the whole, I didn't mind it, though a part of that might just be nostalgia since it's the kind of Doctot Who story that BF would never even attempt these days.
PS: If you managed to get through Minuet in Hell, you should survive Nekromanteia just fine.
Speaking of audios and the seventh doctor, main range anon here, listened to Shadow of the Scourge last night.
Absolutely GOAT, had an interesting villain, good pacing, good setting, 7/Ace/Benny best tardis team, nice character development for 7 and also chessmaster 7 is based.
Capaldi loves feet :)
So next up for me is The Holy Terror. Should I be excited? I hear Frobisher the penguin is based, but I don't know much else about the story
Was Capaldi only on The Late Late Show once?
>>72081307
I don't remember too much about the story tbqh but I loved Frobisher. Big Finish really should use him more often.
>>72081307
It's good, yeah.
If Moffat said S10 is going to feel like "a brand new show", reckon we'll get a new title sequence?
They have an excuse to now considering there's a new companion and all.
Also they may put Matt Lucas in the title sequence since he's a big name. That would require a new one though, since it didn't really work in Last Christmas with Nick Frost.
>>72081515
Would be a bit of a dick move to Chris.
>>72081355
Yes.
>>72081672
The 2nd Smith intro was only there for about 8 or 9 episodes though
>>72081515
I love the visuals of the current title sequence, with the clockworks and planets. But just can't stand the theme tune, (puts my teeth on edge).
The guitar version of the tune re Before the Flood, with the current visuals was perfection imo.
>>72081961
I don't usually have a strong dislike for things. I even enjoyed watching Kill the Moon but I seriously think that theme is the worst thing in over 50 years, it's so fucking awful.
>>72081961
It's far from being my favourite version of the theme tune but I like it far more than any of the other NuWho versions.
>>72081682
That's a shame.

Well he isn't exactly wrong.
Since yous are talking audio...
Finished the 1st part of the Sixie and Jamie trilogy.
Was alright, anyone here liked it?
>>72083635
That trilogy overall is a belter, make sure you listen to all 3 as it's like a 12 part story.
>>72081160
He must have been in his element with Jenna.
Let me get this straight
>Gallifrey is saved by 13 doctors - all 12 of the doctor's original regeneration cycle, plus the first after he's gifted more regenerations
>The doctor goes to trenzalore because the time lords signal him there, since they actually weren't destroyed and are just in a pocket universe because the 13 saved them
>There is a timeline where Matt's doctor dies on trenzalore
>Matt's doctor goes to trenzalore because the time lords lure him there because the time lords were saved by capaldi
>But matt's doctor dying on trenzalore means capaldi didn't happen meaning gallifrey was never saved and couldn't have called matt there in the first place
???
>>72083383
>Mass popular success rebranded as eccentric lifestyle choice. Insanity.
Gareth is literally one of the most sane people on twitter
I'm glad there are still people who exist that think fandom identities/cultures are stupid
>>72084429
Bootstrap paradox. Things happen and because of time travel they create condition that bring them forth in the first place.
>>72084429
I suggest you don't worry about those things and just enjoy yourself.
>>72084484
That makes sense for the 'final' timeline where matt gets more regenerations and becomes capaldi
But it doesn't explain how the time lords survived in the timeline where capaldi's doctor didn't happen since matt died on trenzalore (let alone why matt died on trenzalore if the TLs didn't call him there since they weren't saved since there was no capaldi)
>>72084540
timelines affect one another and bleed over. Don't think of them as straight lines but as a big ball.
>>>/x/17926263
CATS IS ALIVE AND WELL AND SHITPOSTING
>>72084540
There's a proper timeline where Time Lords saved by the 12th Doctor would save 11th Doctor so he could save them.
And there's aberrant timeline where they didn't and all died. Time timeline was erased because it's unsustainable, but it still gave opportunity for time sensitive beings like GI to fuck around with timeline.
>>72081307
The Holy Terror is GOAT
>>72078424
Not speaking as someone who sucks BF's dick, but IMO when the audios really supercede the show it's because they've got an idea ambitious or niche enough that the TV show wouldn't bother with it, and the time/patience to work it through compared to the often hyperactive/rushed NuWho.
When they're just working well normally, it's because they just have a writer adept enough to do a really cracking execution of a formula with memorable characters and dialogue.
Conversely, when they don't work it's because they're coasting on having the actors or the Classic Who aesthetic (or for some boxsets, the trappings of 'epic') without actually having an interesting story or dialogue.
>>72071976
Big Chief haven't got shit on Hot Toys
>>72083635
I thought that the first part was alright but it gets better and better after tha.
The tie-in companion chronicle is fucking awful though.
>>72084680

The choirs are always the worst and most overwrought part of Gold's work. Without exception.

I enjoyed it too. It was a very interesting concept and Amy with an eyepatch is just about the hottest thing I've ever seen. I also liked the Doctor essentially tricking the universe into thinking he died
Smith's first title sequence (the stormy lightning one) suits Capaldi way more than it suits Smith.
And Capaldi's title sequence suits Smith far more. The clockwork motif reflects the Alice in Wonderland nature of Smith's era.
>>72090988
Thanks for weighing in
>>72091034
I think it needed another couple of drafts to focus it, but pretty much up until they go to the top of the pyramid it's quite fun.
>Texting...and scones
Matt's performance is also brilliant, it's basically the only thing holding the episode together.
forest was comfy
>>72091269
It was shit
>>72089473
Sadly, one of his sons died at around that time.
Nothing ages someone faster than grief.
>>72091269
It starts comfy but gets boring.
On my last rewatch, I was up to the part where the Doctor is explaining about the TREEES to all of the kids sat in his TARDIS near the end, and they're just watching in uncomprehending silence, there's no music whatsoever, he's basically just explaining why nothing happened. This is supposed to be the revelation of the episode, and it comes out with all the energy of drying paint.
A story about how the ecology of the planet secretly has some kind of hyper aware system to shield itself from solar flares should be mind blowing and awesome, but it doesn't feel that way at all.
>>72091358And blow.

>>72090959
Scots usually speak with a 'rolling r', using the tongue against the roof of the mouth, instead of blowing air between the front top teeth and bottom lip.
When Scots actors try toning this down to sound more 'English' and hence more comprehensible to non-Scots , the 'r' can sometimes come out sounding like an 'l'.My grandfather was Scottish. We fondly called him Glandpa.

wait, does his hair become bleach blonde because of the process?

I think it got bleached when Lucy threw The Potions of Non-Life into the Potions of Life and sabotaged the process

Fucking hell, did people realise how retarded this shit was at the time or is it only in retrospect that we laugh at it?

Forgot that. I know this is going way off topic, but why the phuck did the banks get bailed out anyway?
Maybe it's just me, but it just makes more sense to bail out ordinary people for their losses and sack the irresponsible bankers. Would've kick started the economies of all affected countries and got tax receipts rolling back into the coffers.

RTD was too busy banging underage boys on set to write a decent scripts.

>the way every shot just awkwardly fades back and forth into the Simm version and it looks like shit
What gets me about this is that it was so unnecessary.
I get the need to save budget. But imagine
>shots of everyone grabbing their heads in agony, etc.
>one (1) CGI close-up shot of someone's face grotesquely transforming into John Simm's
>follow up with everyone now already Simm
>let the viewer's imagination do the rest
Bang, you've gotten rid of a shit sequence and saved plenty of time and money in the process.

Because if they weren't it would have caused worldwide calamity. It's not exactly simple to reimburse every person individually, but bailing out the banks was physically possible.
They're literally too big to fail, which is a dangerous notion but a fact of how the world is now

They should have just scrapped the entire story tbqh, it's a joke.
What happened to american news lady? Has she shown up a single time in moff who?

I was too stoked to have the best Bond in Dr Who to notice how shit it was.
>there are people on /who/ RIGHT NOW that think Simm's Master is better than Missy

Yeah, Dalton was pretty badass. Bits of the episode were pretty good, if only he had a co-writer who wasn't a flaming idiot to help him produce something consistently good

They managed the concept just fine in The Doctor Dances, where the basic concept of 'humanity warped by a broken genetic template' was pulled off way better.
