I still can't get over the fact that the first eighth doctor novel was erotica stuff

>When a confused and mysterious young man stumbles into the life of the recently widowed Claudia, he reignites her sleeping sexuality. But is the handsome and angelic Paul really a combination of innocent and voluptuary, amnesiac and genius? Claudia's friends become involved in trying to decide whether or not he is to be trusted. As an erotic obsession flowers between Paul and Claudia, and all taboos are obliterated, his true identity no longer seems to matter.

the events of this novel are actually referenced in a proper eighth doctor novel so it's twice as funny.

>>48112635
You realise there are plenty of people who have written both books and audios? And that almost none of them have even jumped up to writing TV episodes, let alone showrunning?

Cut out the thing that:

>That creates the two analogies to saving Gallifrey (suspended animation, screwdriver)
>Creates analogous situation to destroying Gallifrey
>Reinforces the idea to destroy Gallifrey to War Doctor


For what purpose? Then the episode would be boring.

>>48113315
I don't know you make a good point but personally I enjoyed the banter between them. Everything else just felt like fluff.

Favorite 1st Doctor books? Ten Little Aliens was a fucking ace and better than anything in Hartnell's tv series.

Venusian Lullaby. 5/5.

The Time Travellers takes a great premece and makes it boring as shit. The Sorcerer's Apprentince is about a 3.5/5. The Eleventh Tiger is good but a lot of these novels have Ian getting the shit kicked out of him. The Witch Hunters is about a 4/5. Make it a 3/5 if you hate Susan. Still haven't read Empire of Glass or The Plotters yet but I do have them at least.

What does /who/ think of The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit? When I heard that there was an episode where the Doctor literally fights Satan (maybe) I thought it sounded retarded as fuck, but after seeing the episode I think they did it alright.

http://strawpoll.me/2438064

>>48113847
I think it's the epitome of average Doctor Who

>>48113345
They could have had a bit more interaction, but the Zygon plot is pretty much the Gallifrey plot in a microcosm. The War Doctor believes he sees everything he needs to in order to use the Moment.

As it is, the only other place to insert Doctor interactions would have been on the way to the Tower. Anything else would be padding. If anything, what I'd rather see is a bit more with the War Doctor and the Moment, as it takes forms of his past in the shape of aged Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Doctors. All trying to berate him for becoming a Warrior before settling on Bad Wolf.

That's the one I start tomorrow.

Guys, Missy is Death. She has an unhealthy obsession/attraction to the man who not only has caused more death over time and space than anyone else but also managed to escape her grasp at every turn via regeneration. He keeps sending her dead souls, the latest being the half-face cyborg. Him getting out of the final death via new regeneration cycle is what forced her hand this season. All that and the finale is titled "Death in Heaven"

>>48114001
Christ man.

Repost, but I completely didn't know the existence of Six until Name of the Doctor. Yes, I had watched the new series at least twice by then. I understand how impossible it would be to not realize it.

>>48113976
Eugh. I'd have hoped Moffat would have learned from listening to that. They would have just been small cameos to have them included in the episode proper.

>>48113915
I can see that, reminds me of one of that bit in one of the VNAs where various aspects of the doctors personality are represented by the various incarnations.

would be pretty cool. but tough not to screw it up.

I don't really know if it fits any, all I know is that the original pitch for it, '"Starship Troopers" meets Agatha Christie' is a very apt description of the final product.

Watched The Three Doctors today. Absolutely loved it. First serial I really enjoyed since season 7. Hope the rest of season 10 is this good.

>>48113847

man, the first episode is goat atmospheric stuck on a base who. the violin riffs and the black hole and the mystery and gabriel woolf's beast voice are so insanely great.

i think they kind of fuck up at some points in pt 2 with the ood, but it's still well done. the feeling of isolation of the doctor and that chick at the pit. the only bit that really sucks is the terribly animated satan. what would've been cool is you just see the doctor entering into the confrontation, not knowing, then the rest is just from rose and the rocket crew's pov, with toby's possessed words and death reflecting whatever the doctor is doing in the pit, and then he saves the day. dunno how he'd find the tardis though

I dunno man. Spare Parts is GOAT and that is a Five story.

>>48114165
>First serial I really enjoyed since season 7

Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way, I just can't into Pertwee at all, his portrayal of the doctor just frustrates me a lot

>>48114210
>We got about 25 pages into this book. First, the prologue described in detail the experimentation on, disfigurement of, and torture of, lab animals by a sadistic female scientist. The first chapter featured extremely graphic descriptions of the population of a city being literally torn to shreds by genetically engineers monsters. Next up was a vile male character very frankly "chatting up" the local "whores" - the book's word, not mine-. Finally, there's a woman that goes to see a man, apparently unknown to her, and she proceeds to have sex with him to help "cure his disease".

I don't see what the big deal is. That sounds like it'd fit right in with the tone of Second Doctor stories.

They're still good 2 books even if 2 isn't perfectly portrayed in them, so I don't really see how that matters.

I think Stephen Baxter did a pretty decent job personally.

So how did Tumblr react to the episode? I watched it too late to see any fallout.

You wouldn't be willing to sell it to me would you?

I wish the BBC didn't kill this past Doctor line. Or even take that year off of doing Doctor Who books when Matt Smith was still the Doctor.

>>48114292
Yup, I can't get into him either. For me, Pertwee doesn't seem to have any presence. He's just sort of there reading his dialogue, and every now and then doing a karate chop. I'm also not liking Delgado's Master, and since that's a majority of season 8 and 9, it only hurts my enjoyment of the show

>>48114326
>>48114369
They all just have such an extremely irrational hatred for Moffat and I just find it so odd, like some of them picked him as a target and just agreed to hate him forever no matter what.

>>48114411
I totally agree, I find him just so bland and he really is just there. Although I like Season 11 the second best of his seasons and most people I know who really like him really dislike Season 11 and say it's a pretty significant drop in quality, so you might like it too.

First of all, Waris Hussein was not Indian, he was British-Indian, since he was born in British India and gained British citizenship when he moved here. He only lived in India for 8 years, and spent his formative period in the UK.

Also, while Verity Lambert was the driving force behind the show, Hussein wasn't nearly as important as GOAT Canadian Sydney 'Pop Pop Pop (Make A Nigga Drop)' Newman.

Clara's not even needy.

She literally explains that the reason she missed Footface McCutiepie wasn't because the new Doctor isn't boyfriend material, she's just stating how much of a great and terrible shock it is to see a face so different.

Also, it's only canonical in the books.

>>48115064
I haven't read the book (it's EXPENSIVE) but I never liked the ideas it put out at all to be honest.

The kids on Gallifrey during Day of the Doctor makes me wonder if Moffat didn't like it either, since RTD made a point of talking about how the Master as a child was just "oh, it was just Martha imagining it, Lungbarrow could still be canon!" or something like that.

>>48115118
It heavily hinted that Leela was going to give birth to first new child.

You know it's weird. I'm the same fag from earlier who buys out of print Doctor Who books but for audios I don't seem to mind just downloading them.

Maybe it's because I think $25 is too expensive for them but eh. If they were $10 even I'd own all the new Fourth Doctor adventures that are coming out along with all the Lucie Millers.

Shame Deep Breath sucked so much, Capaldi was pretty good in the second half and could have been a good Doctor if not for Moffat.

Its not gimmicky, it takes risks, its focused on characters while having the kind of plot you only get on DW , it builds tension. Frankly, that could be the last episode of the show and I would be happy.

Not the original anon, but was I the only one bothered by how certain things were presented in the episode.

Not to talk about the plot, cause it works and I have no problem with it and I find Capaldi's Doctor brilliant and Clara is finally becoming more of a person but:

>It seems that her relationship with Danny is a bit forced. We saw the attraction but it feels to me that Moffat overall wants to skip the relationship building up and just show you that "hey, their time lines are intertwined, here's their great grandson or whatever, let's have him give Clara a family heirloom knowing it is a family heirloom meant to be kept in the family" to show you that Clara and Danny will work out, will get together and love each other and once again, to me, it feels like a set up to something that's gonna happen in the series finale where a choice has to be made or someone's gonna die.

And now we learn that just like the Doctor, she's been there part of his life, shaping him and making him the man he'd eventually be and the man she'd know and even love.

That and the Tardis being able to go to a pre time war Gallifrey, landing there and having Clara affect the Doctor's life once again, feels that the writers are still making Clara to be this all important person in the Doctor's life who's not only the reason for his victories, even if she was just righting wrongs, but for his fear of the dark and after this episode, for helping him get over that fear, and for once again, shaping him into the man he'd grow up to be

>>48116224
But the barn wasn't on Gallifrey, the barn was a place where the Doctor spent time as a child. Possibly in a boys home echoing Danny. He went there to use the Moment and "watch Gallifrey burn" it was not on Gallifrey.

And Clara ended up important because she happened to be the one with him in this case but I don't think it was very forced. Everything that she did was completely consistant with her character in the situation.

As for the Danny thing, yes it is forcing it but frankly I don't give a shit about her relationship with Danny so that didn't bother me. If anything it made it more intersting to see how she will react to this and move forward with it

>>48116251
That is fucking adorable. I love how in all these interviews and shit, Capaldi seems like the nicest guy in the world, and then his Doctor is really dark and a bit hostile at times.

>>48116224
>>48116433
I feel like the relationship with Danny is just representative of Moffat's time gaps between Clara's travels

In the 50th the doctor says Gallifrey will be "frozen in a single moment in time" but in TOTD they seem to be able to do things. Is this a plot hole? Is there some millisecond throwaway line somewhere that explains this? Am I retarded?

>>48116409

I remember reading a tumblr post linked by some anon, and the girl was fucking seething over the three second scene where the Doctor first meets Rusty.

Her reasons as to why it was stealing from Dalek were:
-Dalek
-It's in a room (GASP!)
-Soldiers

Cunts, the whole lot of them.

>>48116224
I don't know why everyone keeps saying this. Clara didn't have an affect on the doctor besides making him scared of stuff under the bed. The soldier without a gun was just a parallel to how the doctor acts these days and not because Clara caused that.

>>48116461
Its a dumb plot hole. Really just bad and a result of Matt leaving a season early and Moffat trying to pack his last season into the episode

>>48116433
For your first point

but didn't the Doctor, particularly the tenth, mention growing up on gallifrey, how beautiful it looked, the sky, the suns, the mountains, and I believe it was in Sound of Drums that the Master also mentioned him and the doctor being children growing up on Gallifrey and playing in the Master's father's land/fields or whatever. Plus why would a Gallifreyan grow up anywhere but Gallifrey, and how would you otherwise become a Time lord (mind you I admittedly have not watched the classic series so nuwho is all I know)

And for the second point

but that's my problem with it, being a plot device is part of her character and they've kept it as part of her. She was this plot device that helped and saved the Doctor in series 7b in almost all her episodes and especially in Rings of Akhaten with her "most important leaf" speech. And in Name of the Doctor, she saved every single doctor multiple times. All by courtesy of being a plot device, and she keeps staying a plot device in this episode where she keeps saving, keeps shaping, keeps affecting the Doctor and his past. She keeps being and becoming a more and more important person/factor/plot device in the Doctor's life and experiences with this "I was the monster under your bed, the one who created that fear, who still tried to inspire you that you don't need to "be this or do that" because of fear.

No, they went ape shit because it was bad and wasted those lovely Ironside designs for skittles.

I really like the way in more recent stories Moffat uses plot elements and characters to parallel the Doctor and/or his companion and their character. I think it might even be what he's known for when people look back at him like Robert Holmes double acts.

He does it a couple different ways in Deep Breath, he also does it in Day of the Doctor and Listen

Right, if it had happened to be Sarah it would have played out similarly. Its not because Clara is super Spucial
but because Clara happened to be the one with him. And the Doctor is clearly unsure if it was a dream and didn't remember the soldier, we don't have any indication that it completely changed his life just that it might have been a factor in his growing up.

>>48116540
But within the context of the episode, wasn't Clara the monster under the Doctor's bed and the memory of that experience, the catalyst for Capaldis' Doctor to ponder about "perfect hiding", to investigate that kind of dream, to go into people's timelines (Clara's) to find an answer, and in fact, Clara being that monster set off the whole plot and the Doctor's kinda paranoia if you can call it that of something being there when there isn't.

Plus Clara mentioned how being afraid (or cowardly, I forget which) doesn't have to make you do bad things, and they flashed the War Doctor, another version of the doctor she "saved". So it's even possible that it was her speech to the Doctor as a child, that created some hesitancy in the Doctor when he had to destroy Gallifrey, although I can't fully support that with a lot of evidence.

>>48116740
spoiler] He was from Gallifrey and/or spent a lot of childhood there. The race of "Gallifreyians" colonized more than one planet though so its entirely plausible he spent some of his years at a colony. Really we just have these little snippets because we don't know about the character before he abandoned his real name.

And Time-Lords were a special caste of Gallifreyian who went to the Academy, excelled and were granted regenerations. Presumably it wasn't limited to only those who were born on the mother planet.

As for Clara, I think that because it grew organically out of her character this time she wasn't just a plot device. But this is personal opinion. I also think people are over thinking the importance because we have so little information about his childhood. I really don't think this was a major life changing experience. He was clearly already on the path to going to the academy and clearly wasn't even sure if this actually happened for a long time.

It's odd, leading up to Clara the companion arcs and shit were beginning to annoy me but I'm ok with Clara even though she has by far the biggest character arc and role. I still hope they go completely minimal with the next companion but I think it's just JCo that makes Clara work for me.

OOPS.
YOU FUCKED UP

shit. i don't care.

because what's under the bed is what's behind you when you are asleep. Its a common nightmare in the real world, the reason in the real world is the reason in the show.

>>48116659
I find him to be decent so far. He was disappointing in Listen though. Orson felt like a nothing character even though the script gave him some potentially good scenes to make an impression.

>>48117169
I love how fucking minimalist Listen really is, so much so that it leads me to overthinking it

>>48117198
Keep spoiler tagging that stuff, dude.

>>48117023
Exactly. Clara made the doctor afraid of stuff under the bed. I don't think she influenced him anymore than that but I could be completely wrong.

>>48117198
I think it stands out because Capaldi is so good and Jenna is stepping up more now that she is opposite Capaldi. If he was opposite Matt and Amy, I don't think you would even notice

>>48117198
Who the fuck is Orson? I watched the episode and saw no mention of that. Are you talking about Danny and changing it to Orson to avoid spoilers?

>>48117023
a lot of what Clara tells the young Doctor is what she heard the Doctor tell Rupert, and what she's learned from being with the Doctor so long. It's a loop that represents the Doctor/Companion relationship in the show

>>48117232
Not the guy you're responding to, but I don't think that needs to be spoiler tagged.

>>48117271
Clara and Danny's great granchild

>>48117281
That character is a surprise, though. Listen is best to go into completely blind. I didn't even know the synopsis when I watched it and it was great.

I had everything in Listen spoiled for me and I still enjoyed it personally

>>48117317
just knowing there's someone named Orson means nothing

>>48117301
It's likely but we can't be sure he's Clara's descendant, there's wiggle room. It almost seems too obvious to be anything but misdirection, which Moffat loves doing.

>>48117062
I guess that's fair enough then, considering that there isn't much information, I concede that it is entirely plausible that he grew up on a colony, but that still means that my original point that the Tardis being able to travel back to a pre time war version of the universe and even the Doctor's own childhood is strange, still stands. Although thanks for the clarification on Gallifreyan colonization.

And as for Clara, I guess it is a bit subjective, but I'm still staying wary of her, she overall was the spark that set up the plot for this episode, which as it turns out is a paradox. She being the creature under the bed led to the Doctor investigating it, being a bit paranoid, and seeing/perceiving things that weren't really there in the episode which ultimately led to her becoming the creature under his bed in the first place.

He turned the safeties off otherwise it probably wouldn't be able to.

>>48117544
Then couldn't that mean that almost any race with time travel technology could theoretically do the same.

Could Daleks theoretically reignite the war or still try to affect the outcome by traveling to pre-time war gallifrey or somewhere in the pre time war universe, knowing that the Time Lords can't then attack or strike back at the Daleks that are outside the Time lock.

>>48117660
We don't have details on how the time-lock works. This is on purpose because the details are probably not worked out. Hell we don't even know who set up the time-lock in the first place. We also don't know how close the barn planet was, etc etc

>>48117821
I'll just chalk up the Tardis being able to do it, to it being something that was set up beforehand, in a similar vein to the Doctors' daughter from the episode the Doctor's Daughter. Where due to some paradoxal nature or whatever, this event happened, it will always happen, it must happen cause it has no beginning and has no end but it simply exists and it is what is it and this nature allows special privileges where said event can happen even where and when other people and events can't go, occur or affect

What with Clara only becoming the monster under the bed because the Doctor, remembering a monster under his bed, decides to investigate, brings Clara along and she ends up becoming the very monster in the bed that the Doctor remembered and that set him n on this investigation and hunt.

>>48117821
There are many indications that Gallifrey itself was always under a time-lock. That Rassilon created one as soon as Omega created the Eye of Harmony. This meant no one could go into Gallifrey's past, only to the present. Probably has to do with the transduction barriers.

The Moment, however, seems to be able to trap the war participants outside of that influence in a separate time-lock.

>>48118035
>>48118041
point is we don't really know and the safties were off and it was off gallifrey
