Apparently Moffat pressured GB so they stop talking about spoilers. That's why they closed the Spoiler and Speculation thread.

>>64521880
It was good. Definitely better than the UNIT boxset.
This one at least had four discs' worth of content, not four stretched-out episodes that struggled to reach 40 minutes of length.

>>64522012

Now that may be a bit too much, but Signs was very good. And actually reminiscent of Heaven Sent in places.

So apparently filming has been moved from May to April.

https://twitter.com/ZoeWelch1/status/682571713041793024

This is screaming split series to me.

Filming for one block (= 2 episodes) takes about 5 weeks.

Early April to Early May: Ep. 1 and 2
Early May to Mid June: Ep. 3 and 4
Mid June to late July (including a 2 weeks break for Comic Con): Ep. 5 and 6
Early August to mid September: Christmas special
Mid September to late October: Ep. 7 and 8
Early November to mid December: Ep. 9 and 10
Early January to mid-February: Ep. 11 and 12

My assumption's always been they want to get it out of the autumn.

Lucie Miller

I havent watched Doctor Who since mid-way through series 8. I love Capaldi as The Doctor but I just wasn't feeling anything else about it. I'm curious to get back into it, though. What episodes of series 9 are most worth a watch? Episodes that tie in heavily to the over arching plot, or just really solid episodes? Would like to avoid the mostly "filler" sort of episodes. Like episodes where The Doctor is a background character in his own show, for example.

>>64524065
Relative Dimensions and Lucie Miller

>>64524176
Great, thank you !

>>64524065
It's a grand finale to the cycle called "The New Eighth Doctor Adventures" you probably should listen to the all. At least to the final season if nothing elese. At least to "Lucie Miller" if everything else fails because you just listened to the second part of the story.

>>64524163
i liked the opening two parter but if you didn't like S8 at all not sure if you'd like it
watch heaven sent at least, best episode of nuwho

>>64524065
It's technically the second part of "Lucie Miller". But that two-parter is the finale to series 4 of the NEDAs, and as such resolves plot threads that involve most of the season's episode. And it's also the climax to the Doctor's adventures with Lucie, which started way back in series 1.
You could just listen to Lucie Miller/To the Death, but my recommendation is to catch up on the most important stories of the range before:

Blood of the Daleks, part 1
Blood of the Daleks, part 2
Horror of Glam Rock
No More Lies
Human Resources, part 1
Human Resources, part 2
Grand Theft Cosmos
The Zygon Who Fell to Earth
Sisters of the Flame (part 1)
Vengeance of Morbius (part 2)
Orbis
The Eight Truths (part 1)
Worldwide Web (part 2)
Death in Blackpool
An Earthly Child
Situation Vacant
The Book of Kells
Deimos (part 1)
The Resurrection of Mars (part 2)
Relative Dimensions
Lucie Miller (part 1)
To the Death (part 2)

Best episodes: The Zygon Invasion/The Zygon Inversion, Heaven Sent/Hell Bent

Absolutely skip at all costs: Sleep No More

>>64524065
The Earthly Child, Time and Relative Dimensions, Lucie Miller.

Those are the 3 vital ones you need, the first one because it introduces Alex, the second because it shows Lucie leaving the TARDIS in a certain century [sorry if I'm being vague, I don't know how sensitive you are about spoilers or what quantifies as one to you], the third because To the Death is Part 2 of a 2 parter, the first one being Lucie Miller.

To the Death has some of the best McGann acting. Also some of the best destroy everything the Doctor cares for plotlines.

She thought it wasn't the Doctor and wanted to change him back. Also see the scene where 11 calls her and she's like "Yeah you're the Doctor the old guy isn't". Also he lies to her in MOTOE when saying they're on vacation but it's actually Gus who had summoned them.

>>64524163
Almost all episodes are paired up, but there's not much of real plot. I'm going to give you quick rundown of advantages and disadvantaged

1&2 A story with strong comedic tone, Daleks, Missy (I bet you don't even know who she is), Davros and everybody is trying to be smartest guy in the room. I didn't like it much, but many did.
3&4 slow-paced adventure. If you are into endless corridors and a plot split between two time period, you might like it. Even though resolution overall is unsatisfying
5: Comedy episode. Beginning of what one might call an arc. Not terribly funny or exciting, but not terribly terrible either. Ever watched Game of Thrones? Is Arya Stark your favourite character? She better be, or you are in a world of pain.
6: This one is just plain lazy. But also part of the arc. Has its moments, but less so
7&8: Thrilling episodes about Zygons. Ever wondered what happened to Zygons in The Day of the Doctor. Now you find out. Parallels to refugee crisis in heaps and imply rather strange opinions on writers' parts
9: This one was just boring and hard to see. Might be worth it for a twist. Probably not. Also maybe you like to laugh in a middle of horror exposition.
10: This one was pretty good. Probably has flaws, but I liked it too much to name any
11: Everyone loved. Even I. And I'm even willing to ignore plot holes
12: Well, it's a finale, so it has lots of flash, random nonsense, plot twists that don't match anything plotted before that. But you should expect that.

>>64523970
What?

>>64524559

Nice, I had to download Earthly Child and a few pre Eighth Doctor adventures because they were during a cycle where Big Finish decided to make them more expensive, or when I didn't have an Amazon gift card, or because Earthly Child was a special. I don't even know if it is sold atm, couldn't find it. Had to pirate it from audiobookbay.

They are not so much holes (Considering what is actually happening, everything can be explained) as they are elements that don't seem to match further plot development.

Why did stars move?
Why wall was even there?
Why wall led where it led if Doctor wasn't supposed to break it (My first assumption was that he was meant to break it as part of the plan, but it didn't match actual plot of Hell Bent)

>>64524931
>Why did stars move?
You cannot be serious. Are you stupid?
http://www.universetoday.com/85730/do-stars-move/
>Why wall was even there?
To give him hope and dash his hopes to get him to confess. So he's aware a wall stronger than steel or diamond exists between him and Home, his exit from this torture. Time Lords are fucking dumb when it comes to the Doctor, so they did not expect him to use the system and the teleportation against them.

>>64525054
I know that stars move. But they are not real stars.

Wouldn't it be more efficient to offer him no way out and just torture him until he confess?

Would The Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's Familiar be better if Clara/Missy weren't in it and the episode went straight from the intro scene to 12/OlderDavros scenes?

I actually enjoyed both episodes, especially the Clara/Missy scenes but someone mentioned that online and it kind of sounds slightly better.

>>64499798

Star Wars EU was canon because Lucasfilm literally had a group of people whose job it was to sign off on all EU materials while making sure none of them contradicted each other or otherwise contained inconsistencies. It was actually quite impressive and it's the reason that things like Wookiepedia, autistic as it is, can exist the way it does. Then Disney just decided to fuck all that hard work in the ass and throw it out the window because it was easier than trying to fit their movies into the EU.

>>64525112
The smallest glimmer of hope makes futility have more impact.

Even fucking shit fests like Hunger Games talked about this.

Give him a glimpse of what awaits, and how he can never attain it. That hurts more than just depriving him entirely.

>Not real stars
I thought they were Gallifreyan stars, reflecting reality. Just like how water is wet and reflects reality in the confession dial, or how time still passes.

That's why he also reacts saying that he can't be "here."

I'M GONNA THROW UP

>>64526413
Why, because you like shit like City of Angels?

Maybe Neverwhere and Dresden Files are decent examples.

Besides those outliers Urban Fantasy has the most generic, unimaginative stories compared to High Fantasy because the author cannot build their own world.

I feel Doctor Who is exempt from this because of the extreme unique variation the TARDIS brings to a narrative.

To me, things like Quantum Thief and Book of the New Sun are more imaginative than what urban fantasy brings to the table.

Even Wheel of Time reflects current world issues and idiosyncrasies more than most urban fantasy I've been exposed to.

Again, only Gaiman and some of Dresden is exempt imho.

That's it.

I also enjoy RPGs immensely [my favorite games are Planescape and KOTOR 2], and enjoyed Keys of Marinus.

However I was just wanting to talk with him about imagination of urban fantasy, and hoping to get some reccomendations in his retaliation, because I know /tv/ hates outright suggestion begging.

>>64529859
We can't really say that
Have you seen the episode from a parallel universe where it was made? Do you know the Doctor's reasons for acting that way?
Then you can't say it was OOC. You can't possibly decide that from a three-line synopsis.
The Doctor working with some aliens to conquer Gallifrey would be OOC, and yet The Invasion of Time happened.

>>64530037
>Have you seen the episode from a parallel universe where it was made? Do you know the Doctor's reasons for acting that way?

how could you possibly make that in character? i can't even imagine 7 doing that. it also would have huge long term effects on the show going forward and plus the episode would have only been 45 minutes. i can't imagine it have been anything more than a huge mess. paul abbott is a good writer but his idea just sounds bad.

>>64530238
It sounds no worse than the Doctor locking his companion out of the TARDIS and leaving her to die, but that happened in The Girl Who Waited.
And it was a 45 min episode.

>>64529859
>>64530238
The 9th Doctor was different in a lot of ways from the classic Doctors. It would have seemed out of character for the Doctor to destroy Gallifrey in the classic series, but it happened because one of the things the new series did was reinvent the Doctor's character and make him a bit darker. If they had wanted to make the Doctor a mastermind who, weary of traveling with so many stupid apes, engineers himself an ideal companion, I think they could have made it work.

>>64530416
>It sounds no worse than the Doctor locking his companion out of the TARDIS and leaving her to die, but that happened in The Girl Who Waited.
That's upsetting and cruel, yes, but not in a way that actually fucks with the very nature of the show. There would be something terribly hollow about a relationship between the Doctor and someone he constructed to be his ideal friend.

>>64530713

Again, not necessarily.
It would depend on how exactly it happened, how the episode played it, and what the consequences were.

so are we seriously not getting a series this year

>>64537830

We don't know
capaldi seems to think he is (or was forced to lie because NDAs) but they aren't starting filming for a few months, no new companion has been announced and the christmas special didn't end with a 'doctor who will return with The Fucking of Moff' so those all point to them being a bit behind on the production schedule were they to be producing 12 episodes this year

Moff's priority at the moment is filming sherlock S4 in this next month or two

Okay /who/, I just rewatched Heaven Sent and it's still one of my favorite episodes. So I have to ask, has anyone's opinion of it changed as a result of Hell Bent?

Also curious, when you rank stories would you rank each one individually or the story as a whole? Personally I would always rank two-parters as I would classic serials being just one story, but I just can't put these two stories together.

>>64538110

The finale was technically a three parter since they all lead into each other, but each of the 3 parts are also a relatively self contained story

Probably a jipp, does isn't to flippant from Gallifrey, but Doctor Who was gallant from the 24th Century.

>>64538108
IIRC Capaldi said he's going to be directing a few episodes of Veep

that gives us a hint to no series this year if he has time for that

>>64538108
I think it'll be a split series again. Capaldi and Moffat publicly claimed the rumors were garbage, but those were about a shorter series 10 and the motivation behind it being Capaldi's aspirations to work on other projects. Capaldi said doing more than 12 stories would take away from the quality of writing, but he more recently said he'd be down for doing a longer series. I kind of feel like his inital claim was only relevant to series 10, like you said Moffat is too busy with Sherlock and rushing to finish series 10 before the end of the year wouldn't be good for the show.

>>64538133
Actually it isn't. Face the Raven is story 259, HS/HB is story 260. Moffat said they there was a lot of debating whether or not the last two should be considered one story. I think Moffat was on the "separate episodes" side, claiming the final three are all linked but if FtR isn't included then neither should Heaven Sent.

>>64538495

Has he actually confirmed that now? I remember hearing he wanted to do that, though at that point I thought it was just an idea and not official

- Christopher Eccleston, 2016

what did he mean by this?

>Peter when he walked on the classic TARDIS, he had thought about ‘How am I going to run this? Am I going to be like William Hartnell or not?’ And he had thought that through and he said “I try not, you know, I’m trying, I am my own Doctor.’ but it seemed important to know, to remind himself of the actual vocabulary of what William Hartnell did before.


>At one point he just, he did an entire…this is where you go crazy ‘cos you just wish you had just taped everything going on, every rehearsal, every time and…at one point he did a full on William Hartnell version of it and those things are lost in the ether and are just, you know, wonderful moments that you can’t believe the good luck in your life that you got to observe that.

So if the rumors about Moffat and Capaldi leaving after S10 are true, what will happen to the new companion? Will they write her out at the end of the season to allow for an Eleventh Hour-style full overhaul?

>>64546573
It had good imagery.

>>64546573
I remember more from it than I do most episodes in S9. For instance, I literally cannot recall anything from either of the Zygon episodes except notClara blowing up a plane and the Doctor having some speech about war for a good 5 minutes or so.

>>64546591
Yes, please.
Let's just leave all of the Moffat era behind and begin with a blank canvas.

>>64546591
Probably. The new companion and Capaldi's Doctor will probably die in the same episode. I'm imagining when Capaldi leaves it will be a complete blank canvas. New logo, new TARDIS etc.
Its looking as if Capaldi might regenerate Xmas 2017 if S10 is split between later this year and spring 2017

>>64546645
why?

>>64546691
i doubt s10 is being split
both moffat and capaldi said they disliked the recent time slots and think the show should be earlier.
i'd rather just get a christmas special next year and then a full run in January or something.

>>64520902
that art is atrocious

>>64546844
they start filming in 3 months so the companion has almost definitely been cast. what i hope doesnt happen is:
>Series 10 part 1, October - December 2016
>Capaldi regenerates, 2016 Xmas, huge cliffhanger, unexpected and unannounced regeneration
>Series 10 Part 2, April-June 2017 - New Doctor

>>64546997
yeah that's not happening and they'd never be able to keep a regeneration a secret
capaldi is already confirmed for 13 episodes anyways

>>64546997
There's no way in hell they could keep the new Doctor secret if they do it that way.
Maybe if the second half was made to air in autumn 2017.

Are they likely to announce the next Doctor before he actually regenerates likes they did for Capaldi? I hope not. Was there a reason they did that?

>>64547083
they can't keep the next doctor a secret

>>64547083
The needs promotion and the public's attention.
They can't(because someone will leak the info) hide it and they shouldn't(especially if the new Doctor is female or black)
Doctor Who desperately needs more publicity.

Smith was also announced ages before the regeneration, and Eccleston's fallout was made public right after the airing of Rose.

>>64547244
I'd love to see someone like Rowan Atkinson as the Doctor. I know he was in that shit sketch but i think he would be great.

I think the next Doctor should be troughton-ish. Like a short, quick witted scruffy sort of bohemian who gives no fucks.

>tfw we get a black woman or dashing young guy

Russel T. also said at the start that the regeneration was always intended in order to make fans familiar with the concept, but that was clearly just to cover his ass.

he was hugely popular

I should mention, I'm not saying they fired him I have no proof. It's just what I believe. It's just my opinion.

>>64548570
I heard that too, seems like they wanted a new direction and pushed Matt to leave, fucking up Moffat's plan for Series 8 and the closure of the Silence arc.

>>64548570
I thought Matt wanted out after S7. IIRC wasn't there a scenario where Moff didn't even have him signed for the 50th?

>>64548647
i dont know why they did it if true, maybe because he was doing that film for hollywood?
but i certainly think it happened, after all moffat resolved the entire era in 1 rushed episode, which felt like it was written very last minute.
plus remember when smith said he was going o be in series 8 then two months later we get the announcement that he's leaving

>>64548570
what? That sounds like a pretty shitty attitude to have towards smith.

I mean, why? He was even popular as fuck. Sometimes I feel like the whole behind the scenes is a complete trainwreck and everyone hates each other. That's what Eccleston made it sound like back in S1 anyway.
