What did he mean by this? Also what did he mean by that whole speech? It seemed like he was just rambling. Whether the Cybermen are inevitable didn't have much to do with what was happening onscreen.

You might be a Doctor, but I am the Doctor. The definite article, you might say.

>>84603893
The Master implied he was the sole creator of the Cybermen. The Doctor just told him that they happen everywhere and he ain't shit

I haven't seen much of Classic Who, and now with the 6 month wait until the Christmas Special, it seems like a good idea to give it another go. I've only seen Tomb of the Cybermen and Spearhead in Space. I'd love to watch some Tom Baker to see why he was so much-loved in the day, but I'll rely on your opinions.

So what are the best Classic episodes in your opinion? Anything from Hartnell to McCoy.

It was blasting the "Mondas and Cybus Cybermen are completely different monsters" argument by saying "You know what? Mondas and Telos Cybermen are different too! Oh, and that comic where the Voord become Cybermen? That's canon. Let's see the TARDIS wiki handle that!"

Well Trump kind of WAS inevitable given the political climate in the US. Ignore large chunks of a country for too long and they'll vote against the establishment. It's the same thing with Brexit. It's inevitable that if you ignore the interests of a very large group of people, sooner or later they will bite you in the ass with something terrible (to the establishment at least)

Basically this yes. Cybermen are inevitable. Human-like species opting to "cyber-up" because of disease or war or whatever is inevitable. It's happened on several planets on several occasions because of several reasons. The Cybermen are inevitable.

The Trump joke was Moffat trying to be funny and topical and it was a stupid decision. Even if the Doctor was rambling because of the situation he was in, why the hell would he go with a stupid election mistake made on Earth in 2017. Just Moff trying to be cool.

It's too associated with Capaldi/Coleman now, and Chibnall really does want a clean break away from the past. If he's gunna breathe new life into the whole thing, a lot of cosmetic changes are needed. The console room, I'd expect, will be brighter for one thing and a little more fun.

Robot / Genesis / Terror of the Zygons / Planet of Evil / Pyramids of Mars / Seeds of Doom / Hand of Fear / Deadly Assassin / Robots of Death / Talons of Weng-Chiang / Fang Rock / City of Death / Traken / Logopolis IMO for 4th Doctor viewing. It cuts a large slice of his middle stuff which I don't think's very good.

Top 3 Classics IMO - Inferno (3rd) / Curse of Fenric (7th) & Resurrection of the Daleks (5th).

If you're limiting yourself to just a few eps of each, try:

1 - The Daleks & Edge of Destruction (I think of them as the same story but feel free to disagree) and The Tenth Planet
2 - Web of Fear / The Invasion
3 - Inferno (long watch) / Claws of Axos or Day of the Daleks
4 - Terror of the Zygons / Seeds of Doom
5 - Earthshock / Resurrection of the Daleks or Caves of Androzani
6 - The Two Doctors / Revelation of the Daleks
7 - Greatest Show in the Galaxy / anything from Season 26

Best seasons are the first two and last two. Baker is overrated. An Unearthly Child is definitely a good place to start with Hartnell, it's still one of my favorite serials and favorite first episodes of a show in general. If it hooks you then just watch all of Hartnell, it's all GOAT except a few stories that aren't and it's better in order.
>>
>>84603897
I honestly can't wait for his Doctor if it does turn out to be him (which seems likely at this point). All he'd have to do is play his Death in Paradise role and he'd be great. Bumbling, bit awkward, always losing his things, those are nice quirks for the Doctor to have in my opinion. If he plays it like DiP but adds a bit of seriousness when it's called for, he'd be great. Not too zany and random like Tennant and Smith could sometimes be, just a bit odd, but lovable

Were we expecting anything less? New era with a new showrunner, a new Doctor, new companion, new writers. Of course we're getting a new TARDIS. Did anyone ever even doubt that?
The question is whether it'll be remodeled or brand new, yes. If new, please show us a bit more, make it a bigger set. Just for once I'd like to see someone go downstairs, open a door and get something from a corridor or something. The TARDIS is supposed to be infinitely huge, just give us a bit more than a small set.

It's a very good show. I love detectives and murder mysteries so I could be biased. Then again, having watched hundreds of detective/murder mystery shows I can honestly say DiP is great and ranks up there with the best. Great writing, great characters, great plots, but not only that, it's genuinely funny, it's light-hearted, and it somehow doesn't get old even though every episode is set on an unspecified large island in the Caribbean.

That's a good amount of time. I think TARDIS interiors should last longer than Doctors.
>>
>>84604175
It's not going to be an End of Time, it's going to be the antithesis of that. Because instead of an entire story of "YOU WILL DIE AT THE END OF THIS EPIC ADVENTURE! o no i don't wanna die :,(", we've already had the epic adventure where he dies at the end, and next we have a whole story specifically to deal with his reluctance to regenerate and presumably resolve it.
>>
>>84604145
But the way Moffat presents it it's even worse than 10. I'd love it if he was just so fucked by life that he doesn't want to live anymore. But what we have is that he doesn't want to live as another incarnation, and would rather die than give a shot to another Doctor. It's even more selfish.

This episode reminded me of why I ship Master/Doctor so hard.

Missy dying without the Doctor knowing that she had changed her mind at the end went straight to the fucking heart. And now the Doctor will always remember that time when the Master converted his best friend into a cyberman and betrayed him.

Fuck me.

In hindsight, he wasn't very mad about that. And neither was Bill really. His speech trying to appeal to the Master (which was great) was even targeted at Simm's Master.

I'd like a return to the Fifth, and I can see Marshall echoing Davison's style while putting his own twist on it. I want a better outfit though (celery, really?).

Speaking of outfits, I know many of you like how Capaldi's wasn't that distinct and that he changed his clothes quite often (Capaldi said himself that he did this on purpose when choosing an outfit so that children could dress up as the Doctor more easily). But I'd like the next Doctor to have a very specific look and to stick with it. Nothing too flashy and burning to the eyes like 5 and especially 6, but just something unique that doesn't change much. Like 10 who had two suits he interchanged once every so often, or my favourite, 11, who only changed his bow tie sometimes but kept his core, recognisable outfit throughout his run (except when we wore that long overcoat that one time).

Anyone agree? I like my Doctor to stay in one costume, not to change every week or two.

>>
>>84604145
So is it vanity or suicidal thoughts?
>>
>>84604175
>>84604207
Exactly. Moffat clearly hated how RTD dealt with 10's regeneration. He'd never say it in an interview, but his quips about "I dun wanna go" show it clearly. Because regeneration is not death, it's the next step. Tennant treated it like death saying "and some other bloke just comes swaltering in", forgetting that that "bloke" would still remember everything Ten remembered.
Capaldi's case is different because he's sick of shit. While Ten didn't want to die because he liked being Ten and "didn't wanna go", Capaldi doesn't want to regenerate, he wants to die. He's subduing the generation because he's had enough, he thinks it's time for the Doctor to die.

Of course, during Christmas Hartnell and Capaldi will have a good old chat, exchanging stories. Capaldi will convince Hartnell that he should regenerate because of all the lives, planets, universes he will save in the future. Then Hartnell will realise this and convince Capaldi to carry on that trend. Then Capaldi accepts it, gets over his death wish and regenerated calmly, knowing that the legacy of the Doctor will go on to his next form, who will go on to do good in the universe.
At least, that's what I think the Special will be all about.
>>

No. I remember silly people thinking that and posting pictures that proved otherwise.

Now that her return is confirmed, how do you think they'll handle her return. She was overpowered as fuck as a companion. Now essentially a Doctor 2.0....

>That scene where somebody approaches the three of them, showering someone with praise and tall tales from their exploits across the universe, calling them hero they've been waiting for to come save them, only to ignore the doctor and head straight to Clara, oblivious to either doctor.
>That scene where she refers to them as her companions

That is a lot to take in, thanks man. That's a good list of Tom Baker stories to check out. Like I said, I wanna see what all the hype was about. Heard he was drunk on set a lot near the end though, is that noticeable?

Also that list of good episodes per Doctor is great, thanks. That way I can check out all the Classic Doctors in a well-received story of theirs and decide if I want to delve more into a specific Doctor.

One more thing, why am I hearing "anything from Season 26" from everyone? If it's that amazing that everyone I ask says I should definitely watch it, why the hell did DW get cancelled after what seems to be its most popular Classic season?

2. The Invasion and War Games
3. Everything. Pertwee is the GOATest. If you want a few maybe check out the Time Warrior (First Sontaran story) and Terror of the Autons (first Master story)
4. Baker's earlier seasons were the best imo. Check out Genesis of the Daleks, Terror of the Zygons, Pyramids of Mars, Brain of Morbius, The Talons of Weng-Chiang.
5. Caves of Androzani
6. The Two Doctors
7. Was pretty comfy, his early stories are all considered shit but I like most of them. They have a certain camp feel that just seems right. Paradise Towers, Remembrance of the Daleks, Happiness Patrol, Curse of Fenric.

Oh God, yes. He was also in a really volatile relationship with Romana's actor, so there are tons of scenes where the characters refuse to talk to each other.

Because it got shitty ratings at the time. A general consensus is that the old show never really healed from the 1986 hiatus, and got axed just when it was finally starting to shake that shit off.

The cancellation was sort of a long time coming. The popularity of the series and its standing in UK culture had been so damaged and diminished after the endless string of fuckups throughout the tail end of the JNT era, that even though the writers brought their A game for the final couple of seasons and especially 26, it was at too late a moment and the bastard BBC controller Michael Grade seized his opportunity like a vampire to kick the show in the gonads anyway.

You idiot. I've been trying to get people in here to watch DiP ever since the Marshall rumours took off. Why did you post this?
It's still a great show, with Ben Miller in the first two series and Marshall in the other four. I've been trying to get people to watch it from the start because it's so good, but people want to step in on S3 when Marshall first appears.
Anyway twist or not, it's still very enjoyable. The very first episode has an amazing twist as well.
But go ahead and start with Marshall if you want, but you'll miss out on a lot of character development from the side characters which is all really good and funny stuff.

Tom gets a bit more frosty from The Leisure Hive onwards.

"Anything from 26" is just people saying if you want to pick a GOAT story from McCoy's era, take any one of them and you'll be fine" - I'd personally say that you should go with Fenric or Survival, but Ghostlight and Battlefield are good - if you want more of an action-filled episode go for Battlefield, if you want gothic horror go for Ghostlight and Fenric but if you want something else, try Survival.

I just thought that his episodes were mostly badly written and his character wasn't all that great at times

Capaldi acted well but his time as the Doctor was damaged heavily by Moffats writing, same as Matt Smith really

>>84604689
Survival would be rated better if they kept Munro's idea to make the Cheetah people guys with cat eyes and fangs instead of furries.

"They" haven't announced it. There's no BBC press release or anything. Just rumourmongering so far (although it's probably true).

>A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Jenna Coleman has agreed to film something new as Clara. It's become a tradition now for the companions to reappear as the Doctor regenerates and Jenna isn't letting the side down. It'll help to give Peter the send-off he deserves after three years."

Benton was kind of simple minded, he worked much better off the Doctor and the Brig because of this. Pretty funny stuff and was very likeable. Yates was kind of a prick and didn't joke around as much.

This is actually true, since they said that when it came to casting 12 they never even let it go to auditions, they just auditioned Peter and called it a day

Moffat, you had the best of times, and the worst of times.
But still, the best of times.

The show always changes when you think about it, all different eras all through our lives, and that's okay, that's good, it's got to keep moving, so long as we remember all the shows that it used to be. We will not forget one series of this, not one episode, we swear.

I think someone did. I just didn't reply to everyone, I think. The Mind Robber then, alright, I'll check it out.

As for the cancellation, maybe it was just inevitable after 26 years. I heard Colin Baker was very ill-received and there was only so much McCoy could do to save the sinking ship (and let's be honest, he's not the greatest actor out there, even though I love him in everything I've seen him in). But yeah, I heard about this Michael Grade dude making the final decision to cut the show. All in all though, and this might be controversial, maybe it was for the best, keeping it off-air for a bit. Maybe not 16 years, but still. If the popularity was that low in the UK at the time, even if the writers did very well on their last outings, it could have gotten far worse in future seasons.

That said, I can't see a cancellation for NuWho coming anytime soon. Even with these current terrible ratings. Chibnall will have to bring his A game and revitalise the show and bring back the audience, sure. But even if the ratings go up just a little bit or stay about the same, I don't think there's any fear of cancellation. Say what you will about Moffat, but during his reign DW's worldwide popularity has fucking skyrocketed. The Americans love it, the Australians love it, it's all over Europe, and even fucking Asia now. Remember that press tour Capaldi did with Jenna where they went to Singapore, Korea, and China or whatever? That's a huge, huge deal. So even if the UK doesn't give a shit anymore, there's about 2 billion people outside the UK who still do, which wasn't true in 1989. And then there's the fact that BBC needs DW more than ever now that Top Gear has moved and been replaced with a new cast nobody wanted, and Bake-Off was sold off. DW will be safe for quite some time, even if Chibnall fucks it up.

I wouldn't really like to be a part of that, honestly. Because I'm assuming you'd say it was from the Doctor Who general threads on 4chan. If by the off-chance, the very small off-chance that he decides to take a look at /who/, I'd be very ashamed.

But thank you for bringing the idea into my head. I might write him a letter myself.
You never know if fan letters actually get to the person or if they just end up in a huge pile in a cupboard in his agent's office, but I know I would love to receive fan mail if I were an actor, especially an actor in Doctor Who who has loved the show himself since he was a little kid. And going by press stuff and videos on set, Capaldi seems an absolute gentleman who always shakes hands, takes a photo and smiles at everyone. If anyone reads fan mail, Capaldi does. That said, I bet he gets a lot and he's a busy man.

That was glaringly obvious from the very first episode. If you didn't get that, you're an idiot.
Also, anyone seen Ashes to Ashes? The follow-up to Life on Mars, but set in the 80's and starring the gloriously milfalicious Keeley Hawes (played the bank director in Time Heist). Great show, but that ending "spoiler", christ. That was even worse than the "spoiler" in Life on Mars.

Hey! I'm going to be out of this job in a few hours, so before I go, let's have this out. you and me, once and for all.
"Love of the fans?" Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to "win their love". I'm not doing this because I want to beat some other show - or because I hate some other writer, or because I want to blame the studio. It's not because it's fun. God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because the writing works, because it hardly ever does.
I do what I do because it's right. Because it's decent. And above all, it's kind.
It's just that. Just kind. If I retire from the show today, good people will whine. If I stand and write, some of them might appreciate it - maybe not many, maybe not for long. Hey - maybe there's no point in any of this script, at all, but it's the best I can write, so I'm going to do it - and I will stand here writing it until it kills me.
You're going to leave the fandom too, someday. When will that be? Have you thought about it? What would you leave for?
Who I am is what I write. And what I write is where I fail.
Stand with me. These fans are terrified. Maybe we can help a little. Why not, just at the end, just be kind?
>>
>>84605104
>>84605125
I'd assume you send it to whatever agency Capaldi works under and make it clear on the envelope that it's fan mail.
You could even be very bold and find out who his agent is or who represents him(you can usually find that online) and call them up. I mean, you can book actors through agents. Just make a quick call and ask if Peter likes getting fan mail and if so, where you could send it to.

Imagine if Moff's episodes happened all at once. Every moment of his era laid out around you...like a city. Streets full of buildings made of episodes. The ep Matt arrived. The ep Matt left. The ep Peter arrived. A whole city built from paradox and innuendo and adventure and laughter and gnashing your teeth. It's the best place you will ever be.
Moffat is a structure relative to ourselves. Moffat is the writing made by our lives. Where we watch together forever.

Shame this got deleted. It's the perfect set-up for Nardole being a bad ass in the finale. The Doctor's egging Nardole on to expand his mind and to be useful instead of being an annoying chain to the Doctor's leg dragging him back to guarding the Vault. And what the Doctor said to him obviously had some effect on ol' Nardie because after that he became the bad ass we now all know and love.

Good-looking, right age (for the BBC execs), some fame from GoT but not enough that he'd be too busy doing other stuff. I'd like him a lot.

But he can't really act that well, so no.
Shame really, there's so many people who tick all the criteria of being the Doctor (looks, age, availability, just the right amount of fame) but they can't act very well. And even if you tick all the other boxes, if you're not a good actor, you're not going to be cast as the Doctor.

Stev--- I mean Jack Davenport would actually be a nice Doctor I think. He's done serious stuff before, played that British Navy guy in Pirates of the Caribbean, the one stuck in a love triangle with Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom.

Also just to add, if anyone here hasn't seen Coupling, go watch it. Written by Moffat years before Who and it's fucking hilarious. It's like Friends, but British, and funnier.

Exactly. Nardole came across as genuine bad-ass, maybe because he's seen some shit with the Doctor, and quite possibly before. And don't forget that he's an alien, not a human. His progression was fast, subtle, but good. Also Matt Lucas surprised me with his acting as I've only seen him do comedy stuff, but somehow the fact he was a walking bumbling comic relief character who nonchalantly blows up a windmill with a gun made it so much better than all the "Rory the Roman" moments.

Rory's moments of being a bad-ass were terribly forced. I adore Arthur Darvill and he can act, but he can't pull off the bad-ass angle. I still cringe whenever I think back to "WHERE. IS. MY. WIFE."

Think I watched three episodes before I dropped it. It's Buffy but with British teenagers from all different ethnicities. Also gay sex. Think Torchwood dumbed down (even more) and SJA turned dark. It's right in the middle in terms of those demographics, but just not very good.
I'm not motivated to finish the series.

Damn that season finale didn´t live up to the hype. They misused the Master/ Missy. (Is anyone else under the impression that Simms was tonned down to adjust to the other two and felt bland this time around?)

They didn´t even let Bill as a cybermen. I mean, i realize that with all the political progressive shit on the season they couldn´t "upgrade" the black gay character to be an average society robot but come on! most companions meet tragic endings... why not her?! that´s bullshit.

I´ve liked both RTD and the Moff but obviously Moff has run out of stories to tell... hope the next showruner and the next Doctor regain the fun Tennant and Smith had.

Yes yes, i liked the first Doctor cliffhanger but the rest just seems like missed oportunities.

His infrequent slips into bad-ass or useful made me like him. One minute he's a boring, awkward baldie nagging at the Doctor to go back to the Vault, then the next minute he's blowing up shit or actually being useful and providing information.

DW needs another alien character as a companion. Just so the Doctor doesn't have to do all the techno-babble. Having someone around who knows about spaceships and space/time travel and aliens is really nice. The Doctor, his companion, and his alien companion who knows stuff about the universe as well, perfect TARDIS set. Kinda like Jack. Utopia/Sound of Drums/Last of the Timelords wouldn't have worked with just 10 and Martha.

Pretty easy to headcanon Bill died as a Cyberman and the Heather stuff was just a dying hallucination/dream. Only thing tricky to justify is how 12 got into the TARDIS, but I'm sure a /who/re can manage that. Tbh that's how I read the scene, although I know it wasn't Moff's intention

k9 comes from the 51st century, so Moffat made captain jack and river song be from that same century. It's just sort of a joke about Jack and River being from that era. (Though River got older so she's living in the 53rd century or something by the time husbands takes place)

also the maldovarium is 51st century

I don't really agree, I loved the finale. Better than I could've hoped for. Missy and the Master were used brilliantly, though I feel like Simm should've had more screentime/stuff to do.

>but obviously Moff has run out of stories to tell
This I agree with. The Monks were a complete copy-paste of The Silents, from creepy long fingers to electrical beams, to the backstory of ruling the planet (Silents did it in the background and made mankind discover the wheel etc, Monks liked to be on stage and adored). And then there's the fact that Bill's exit is the exact same as Clara's exit. Consecutive companion exits that were completely the same.

Moff's given us some seriously good episodes during his run, but he has run out of ideas and is re-using them now. Thank god the finale was good though. I'll appreciate Moff in years to come but it is definitely time to step down and let someone else take over the wheel.

I like that. Jack gets depressed because he doesn't get to have Torchwoody adventures anymore and decides to eat himself fat to comfort him, this unhealthy lifestyle eventually resulting in Nardole, who after surviving against the Cybermen on that spaceship for thousands of years flies off and continues shoving his face full of burgers and donuts until he eventually just becomes the Face of Boe, a giant, fat face.
Face of Boe then meets 10 and says that he's not alone, referring to the Master and Missy he saw on that spaceship.

There, it all makes sense now.

The Special will be 12 and 1 discussing regeneration, and there will probably be aliens too because the kids wouldn't like 60 minutes of kino dialogue between the first Doctor and the currently last Doctor, even though I would. I very much doubt Capaldi will do a tour-de-companions like 10 did. Moff clearly doesn't like what RTD did there. If anything, it'll be another hallucination of Clala/Bill in the TARDIS right before he regenerates (like Smith seeing Amy).

The point is that it´s a different Master and not Simms Master. I think i would have liked to see him act childish and trowing tantrums while the other two remained more... adult. I realize it´s a matter of synching the acting styles so he wouldn´t look stupid or out of place since Cappaldi, being an old actor, is not the over the top type but still.

>>84606817

That´s totally besides the point. We saw her heading into the sunset with her knight in shining armor by deux ex machina godness.
I mean, the Moff was cruel to her, he gave her the worst possible death and stated that not even the Doctor could fix that.

Then magic pool girl appears, fixes her AND even pilots the TARDIS. That´s just childish and dumb. The whole point of the Doctor falling should have been just that, to make him fail... yet everyone survived.

>That´s totally besides the point.

I'm curious. What did I say that was besides the point? Seems to me you missed my point. You don't have to take this ending you dislike at face value, particularly not when Moffat himself constantly insists "headcanon" is the most important way to experience the show. If you think it's an inauthentic and childish ending, why not entertain the idea that it wasn't the ending at all?
