Alan Cumming was offered the role of the Doctor twice - both rejected edition

Would he make a good Doctor?

So we don't know yet why Simm's Master is returning then? Place your bets on what you think the reason for his comeback is before Moffat provides his underwhelming excuse.

I'm thinking he catches wind that his successor is being held in captivity and wreaks havoc to break her free.
>>
>>83629725
my idea is that missy introduces him into the plot as a loophole to her "im good now" promise
>>
>>83629725
>So we don't know yet why Simm's Master is returning then?

its because they want to boost viewing figures
>>
>>83629725
He finds out that his successor is turning "guud" as missy puts it
Doesn't like that, tries to turn her back evil
It's the final test of whether the basement cold turkey therapy has worked
Right when it seems like missy's turned evil again and goes along with simm's plan to destroy the doctor, she decides it's not worth it and saves the doctor by killing simm, causing him to regenerate into her
The newly regenerated missy runs off with some stray cybermen (the finale has cybermen remember) and starts concocting the plan we saw in the S8 finale to try and repay the doctor. It all goes full circle.

Monks had insane potential.
I'm rewatched Like of the Land and noted all the fucking amazing ideas that were abandoned and killed.

1) opening montage is really great, they could somehow stretch it, making the beginning of the episode similiar to Adam episode from Torchwood or that episode of rock nd morty, you know what I mean
2) Evil Doctor
Capaldi was both charming and terrifying, too bad he wasnt evil, it was just a prank
3) ending montage of realising the truth - it could have felt amazing if we actuaĺly had a decent episode.

I'm feeling like this couldve been amazing two-parter. Why was Extremis needed? Why was pyramid needed? It's so shit.

BILL YOU'VE JUST BEEN PRANKED BY THE PRANK PATROL!
THOSE 6 MONTHS OF PLANNING AND BEING COMPLICIT IN MURDER REALLY PAYED OFF HUH
>>
>>83629964
*rolls a montage of bill being terrified alone in her house as her neighbours are dragged into the streets* HAHA, BILL, TELL US, WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR MIND HERE?
>>
>>83629916
It would have been a great three-parter if Pyramid had been the first episode. Ultimately Extremis added absolutely nothing and existed only in service of its own plot twist. If the writers want us to believe the horror of life under the Monks, they should have made an entire episode out of the beginning montage. Show us Bill coping with the new reality, meeting people and making friends and facing danger when one of them commits a memory crime or something. Lie of the Land fell flat because it felt like we were only told the world was conquered through exposition and we never actually saw or felt it.

Also the monks getting chased off of Earth because humanity remembered they shouldn't be there is SUCH bullshit when the previous episode established we had nothing that could damage them. There was no explanation over why they couldn't rule through conquest. All they needed was a single line about how the monks were weak to negativity or something and it might have made sense, but without that what we were left with was a terrible and rushed conclusion.

ALSO if the monks ruled through the bloodline of the person they made a contract with then shouldn't they be treating Bill like a princess? Keeping her close, giving her the best life, maybe trying to convince her to procreate despite her aversion to men? It seems like she's the most important person to their plan, so wouldn't the most logical thing be to get her on their side and convince her that life would be worse without them?
>>
>>83630078
But the thing is, extremis was the only episode that stood on its own and the other two were both boring standalones and failed to deliver
>>
Seriously, why the fuck does the doctor stare at the side of the sonic screwdriver every fucking time he buzzes something with it (which I'll also say is annoyingly getting more and more frequent)?

Inb4 >he's looking at the readings...

There's nothing fucking there. It's just cylindrical casing, there's nothing to fucking read.

If it's telepathic why does he have to look at it?
>>
>>83630110
Sort of, except it wasn't actually a self-contained story and was just build up to the said episodes that couldn't deliver. The fault lies purely on the writers who just did an inexcusably bad job on everything. There was actually a really good idea here, but I think it's obvious that none of them knew where it was so they ended up focussing on the least interesting parts of the story.
>>
>>83629916
Extremis wasn't needed, but Extremis was good. It did however, necessiated a follow-up.

Pyramid was flawed in terms of logic, but it worked for the most parts and Lie of the Land actually explained the most egregious question in Monks' motivation (That I didn't hope they would, and the only really good thing they did). Both did have weak side characters (The persistent problem this series) but there was enough to carry stories alone.

Now Lie of the Land fucked it up. It's tempting to say another episode could salvage it, but Whithouse did nothing good with the idea, so it is likely the result would be twice as nothing.

What is really weird to me, is why the hell they used Casettes for the REALLY ULTRA IMPORTANT RECORDING THAT ALL SOLDIERS NEED TO LISTEN AT ALL TIME OR THEY REBEL.

"I thought there was something in that, and actually maybe I could do a modern day one, set in the City. Where they'd invented the same process but actually thousands of years earlier, and it had the same effect."

It doesn't seem as though he'll ever get around to writing that follow-up now, with Gatiss telling Digital Spy that this week's 'The Empress of Mars' could well be his final Doctor Who episode.

"It does feel a bit like living in the pages of The Making of Doctor Who, it really does," he said. "All those things that we all grew up with as sort of holy writ are actually happening to us as real people."

Doctor Who, 'The Empress of Mars', airs this Saturday (June 10) at 7.15pm on BBC One.

>>83632260
That works pretty well as an example. To be honest, I was thinking of The Last of the Time Lords and Martha's escapades before getting captured but that works too. Really, if you're going to do a post-conquered world story then you need to actually focus on exploring what the conquered world looks like.

>To be honest, I was thinking of The Last of the Time Lords and Martha's escapades before getting captured but that works too.
Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. Turn Left was pretty much an entire episode, though - when Martha was going around we got to see glimpses of the Doctor and co. aboard the Valiant.
>>
So, will Bill stay on for the Chibnall era or are they going for a full Eleventh Hour-style reboot?
>>
>>83629725

It turns out he is a different incarnation than the one that met 10.

Or perhaps a simpler one - after he got pulled int o the Time War in The End Of Time the Time Lords fixed whatever happened to him during the fucked up resurrection, then Day of The Doctor happens and Gallifrey is fine and he simply escapes like he did 100000 times before.
>>
>>83629725
I don't keep up to date on information. Has it been confirmed that he is not ... a new regeneration of the Doctor? Cause that'd be kinda cool and fitting with the "remembering" theme which was why Capaldi is 12.

If it's definitely not that, maybe Missy will take his form again to atone or something.
>>
>>83629802

Missy is obviously no really turning good. Or at least I hope she isn't, even fucking Moffat can't be that shitty a writer.

Do you think Moffat is actively trying to sabotage Doctor Who? I can't believe someone competent enough to write 'The Empty Child' or 'Blink' would honestly believe this would be a good ending of a 3-part story.

You know how your life flashes before your eyes?

12 will be dealt a finishing blow in a shock cliffhanger at the end of episode 12. A regeneration is triggered and we see the violent explosion begin.

Christmas is set entirely in his mind. We learn that while from the outside regenerations appear fast, inside the Doctor's mind it's a slow, contemplative, painful process of acceptance. He sees his LIVES flash before his eyes. Hence 1 and possibly 11 if they wanna go down that route.

Screenshot this.

Chris Chibnall is literally #1 showrunner on British TV. I'm not saying this as a fanboy, but this is objectively true. He's been running the most succesful British drama for 5 years, and everyone is praising his work.

It is crazy he can't just say he's not in it. Pearl is the only one who has a remote chance of being carried over but I doubt she will either.
>Capaldi didn't hang out with Matt and Pearl much between takes
Capaldi clearly quit because he's exhausted by the workload. Previously he would hang out with Coleman between takes, but then they have a similar method so they were probably working on lines and stuff. Rachel Talalay said they would run scenes and discuss the scripts for the next day together in between filming takes.

I can almost believe there's some truth to the rumour that Capaldi nearly didn't even come back for Series 10. He's doing great work still but generally seems really tired of the workload.
