I stopped listening to DT a while before Portnoy left, have they done anything interesting since?

Comfy in my new bed with an electric blanket, my (thankfully non-printed) silky body pillow and some Classic Who. Who else /comfy/ here?

>>85286798

this cunt still haunts me and makes me sick ;)

If Moffat wasn't stepping down as showrunner, I'd be terrified by the fact the next Doctor is female.

>>85286951
Do you actually have a body pillow?
Are just watching The Massacre again?
I've been using an electric blanket lately too, cold af here in NSW, for me at least (massive pussy when it comes to the cold)

>>85286965
Moffat is the best writer we've had since Robert Holmes, I'm more terrified by Chinballs being at the helm

>>85286930
The last thing they did was one of those prog operas where the album tells a literal fantasy narrative
it's """interesting""" but not in the good way

I'm really realy sad.

I do indeed have a body pillow. I don't cuddle up to it though, just lay with it behind me. I have enough regular pillows to cuddle up to as is

I'm watching the Time Meddler.

>>85287000
even the most dimwitted must have realized by now that Moffat is horrible as a showrunner. He can write inspired episodes, but making a whole show be about gimmicks is stupid.

>>85287047
Wait waht exactly do you mean by body pillow

>>85286951
the fact your body pillow doesn't have anything printed on it doesn't make it any less pathetic

>>85287093

>>85287048
>Moffat isn't just the best writer SINCE Holmes IMO
I can understand this because Holmes does have some duds and he was a bit of a racist, but I hope you aren't implying that Moffat's the best DW writer ever. Lucarotti, Spooner or Whittaker (David not Jodie) are at least equal I think.

A body pillow is just a long pillow. Like, almost 2 pillows in length but the same in width.

Why? It''s just another bloke online having a different opinion than you.

I do appreciate you actually naming the names instead of just trotting out the Holmes meme (I love him but I don't like the thought-terminating "durr Holmes is unquestionably the best writer" line we hear so much).

>>85287169
I thought you meant like a, ya know, body pillow body pillow.

>>85287000
I'm not talking about his writing as a whole, I'm talking about his ability to write recurring female characters. Do you really think his Whittaker would be anythnig other than River 2.0?

>>85287073
while I agree with you that Moff is not a show runner in any way except absolutely terrible, I didn't find any episode he wrote as inspired. I just don't see his appeal.
Child/Dances where good but seemed forced (probably big ears faults)
I hated Girl in the Fireplace.
I had conflictions with Blink.

I have very little opinion of his tenure as Showrunner and the episodes he wrote during that time.

I still can't believe that he wrote his masters on slash-fic. I actually took the time to ask him about it on Tumblr and he really did it, the absolute madman.

Oh I just asked him if it was true and he said yeah, but implied that it was an obscure fact because he said something like "How'd you know that?"
>>85287365
With regards to its details I'm not sure, regrettably I didn't ask any follow-up questions.

Also my Tumblr doesn't even have posts, I just use it for porn and occasionally asks

but she is, well in my perspective anyway :), but I do blame Moff and the writers. Jenna is still a QT

>>85287511
>Partner?

Uh, you know Gareth Roberts is gay right? Clayton Hickman (the guy who writes with him sometimes and designs the Classic Who DVD covers) is in a relationship with him.

>>85287487
>I the idea that the PC Dr went on a planned emotional journey. No he didn't, babes. I was there. It was terrified back pedalling.

What kind of writer can't recognise blindingly obvious character development? Is the mere fact it wasn't delivered 99% through exposition enough to blind him? I really hope Gareth is just not seeing the forest for the trees because of his political views and views on Moffat, because if that's his truly unadorned valid belief, I'm remarkably disappointed in him.
I 100% agree with your vindicating remark Cats.

>>85287536
Nice! I have showers too hot honestly, it's bad for my back but I just love scalding water so much. I had some Bowie playing in the shower this morning too, that was nice.

>>85287569

>>85287365
I thnik that it had somehting to do with the feminisation of "geek" culture and the way "nerd" shows written for a efmale audience or that have a large female fan base are written in order to allow slashfic to be written.

Sandifer is autistic as fuck, but I sort of like some ofhis analysis and how he managed to turn nuclear-grade autism into a career.

You got that from my ":|"? It was meant to express embarrassment that I didn't know such an apparently well-known thing about Gareth, not a judgement on his sexuality.

>>85287574
Tbh if Gareth says that I'm inclined to believe him. The Doctor had a pretty big change between the end of S8 and the start of S9.

>>85287746
A Lasallian one.

>>85287602
>>85287602
Come on Neo. Its really not that hard. His first episode ws about shakespeare, the writer most associated with a large secret gay conspiracy in history. Another one was about 2 blokes in an apartment together, one of which cannot spit out his feelings without a supernatural event taking place. Half of his eccleston book involves captain jack teaching a caveman how to live in an apartment with other people and blend in so no one finds out who he is. They're good stories but they're hella closeted gay.

Well, you wouldn't know it from his politics. So I can understand it desu

Since we have a 12/1 episode coming up, what would be your dream pairing of Doctors?

11/2 would be comfy

>>85287810
Yeah. Its a pretty great book and got a sick as hell 50th anniversary reprint cover

>>85287814
I didn't assume he was straight because of his politics lmao, I just hadn't looked into his relationship status or anything before and must have just missed his tweets about his partner

Another fun Gareth fact:
His full name is Gareth John Pritchard Roberts

>>85287899
Kek, yeah. 1 and 13 would be even better tho

I think they should also do an episode with 8/13 to give him another chance on screen, or if he somehow agrees, 9/13

>>85287810
>Yeah the finale of s8 having 12 say "I am an idiot" then the start of s9 having him act like an idiot, that was so hard to understand, what back-pedalling...
Do you think changing his cpersonality and style of clothing and having him ride a tank playing a guitar is an entirely logical consequence of him saying "I am an idiot" in an episode?
I'm not saying that it doesn't work as character development, but if someone who used to be on the inside of the show's production says that there was a decision to make the Doctor more easily likable than initially planned after the reaction to series 8, I'm inclined to believe him.

>>85287952
>9/13

Maybe he'll come back then. Have an episode together next year and say it's for the 55th

>>85287952
>9/13
>both going around calling things fantastic in Northern accents
I'll say it again, because the 50th has come and gone, pairing up with 13 would be the best time for 9 to return

>>85288029
CHocolatine?

Oi neo, what's your favourite Bowie album?

>>85287975
>Do you think changing his cpersonality and style of clothing and having him ride a tank playing a guitar is an entirely logical consequence of him saying "I am an idiot" in an episode?
Yes. The entirety of S8 was 12 struggling with how to define himself coming off after very theatrical hero-styled NewWho incarnations and what he assumed would be his death. He's a new regeneration cycle, back to being old again, and having the Time War ending reversed has made him adrift - none of what he's defined himself by for the last centuries holds anymore. He's not one of the last incarnations, he's not close to death, he's not the Last of the Time Lords, what is he? Is he still a """hero""" the NewWho Doctors often positioned themselves as? Missy helps him finally define himself in a much more early Classic Who style - he's a wanderer, a traveller, an idiot. He's not out to be the most badass warrior of all time, or the most angsty final member of his race, he's liberated from all that now, and can return to basics - to being an idiot.

Last Christmas eases that transition and so in S9 we get him embracing that carefree nature, naturally is escalates as Clara and 12 mirror each other and they move to thrill-seeking which doesn't end well, and so on and so on but we're just discussing the S8-S9 transition.

>I'm not saying that it doesn't work as character development, but if someone who used to be on the inside of the show's production says that there was a decision to make the Doctor more easily likable than initially planned after the reaction to series 8, I'm inclined to believe him.
Why though? A similar arc happened for 1, was planned for 6, and happened to 9 in a sense. Capaldi also was stringent on clear throughlines in the writing, he and Moff have spoken about this.

There's no RTD-level of exposition, there are no newscasters screaming the basics of what's happening, but that doesn't make it fake or backpedalling. If this was a novel, nobody would blink.

>>85288081
I love Nile Rodgers and Stevie Ray Vaughn so I'm tempted to say Let's Dance. Also a big fan of Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust, of course. Blackstar is kino. I haven't really delved into the Berlin or much of the other more deep cut stuff yet. So yeah, I'd say Let's Dance for now.

Was the War Doctor a mistake?

I love John Hurt and I love John Hurt's performance in DotD but it's such a blatant stunt casting and malicious retcon that it bothers me to this day. It should've been McGann.

Is there any official statement from BF that announce Jenny's return?

>>85288159
I agree with everything you're saying 100%. That said, I did really like how The Time of the Doctor turned out, and that depended on WarDoc (unless there was some asspull like 8 using a regeneration for some Time War bullshit before regenerating into 9).

I headcanon that the War Doc and Time War reversal was something Bad Wolf did as a favour to 9, blah blah blah, and that """""originally""""" 8 did indeed end the Time War for real, then regenerated into 9.

Nice. I've been huge on bowie for a couple years now, but I find it hard to get into a lot of the post-1980 stuff with some notable exceptions. Station to Station is in my top 5 albums of all time so definitely check that out if you haven't. Also there's a box set coming out this September collecting his Berlin years and Scary Monsters, which would be a great gateway into those albums if you 'procured' it when it comes out.

Billy and Jason are running around screaming and reeeing about Bowie because they are exposed.

>>85288278
Uh did you see the same 50th that we saw?

>>85288255
Twelfth Doctor's outfit is inspired by Bowie circa-Station to Station and that album is a MUST

>>85288265
I love the song Station to Station tonnes, but haven't properly listened to the rest of the album.

Bowie's great but, like Doctor Who, there's just so much content that it's easy to just rewatch/relisten to the same old favourites instead of going through it all.

I'll keep an eye out for that box set, sounds pretty perfect.

So Station to Station is your fav of his?

>very long explaination
I'm sorry, I don't buy it. His development in S8 justifies this up to a point. The change was still quite radical. I don't believe that everything about it was planned from the start. His whole entrance in The Magician's Apprentice shouts "I am different, look at me. I play a guitar and wear a T-shirt now, I'm not so serious anymore".
The only comparable change between one season and the next is Tom Baker getting more sombre in season 18, and we know that was because the production team wanted to mark a clear change in direction from the previous season, not follow naturally from it.

>A similar arc happened for 1, was planned for 6 and happened to 9 in a sense.
It happened to Hartnell when writers were still figuring out how to write him. With Baker, the change was less marked and there was still a certain amount of back-pedalling in S23 compared to S22. Eccleston's change happened over the course of a series, and was again less marked.

>There's no RTD-level of exposition, there are no newscasters screaming the basics of what's happening,
Why can't certain moffags have a discussion without bringing up RTD? I'd dispute this, but then we'd get into the usual RTD vs Moffat fight and I won't fall into that trap.

But that's my point. Death in Heaven and Last Christmas set up that change.

>With Baker, the change was less marked and there was still a certain amount of back-pedalling in S23 compared to S22.
The change as envisioned for Colin never properly happened on TV, I said it was planned for him.

>Why can't certain moffags have a discussion without bringing up RTD?
Because they are the only two modern showrunners and the most sensible distinction to make when discussing how different modern Doctors have been received. Both showrunners tell their stories very differently, so the ways those stories are received differently obviously makes more sense when you consider that context.

Ehh... not really. It's definitely solid for what it is, but people generally agree it marked a loss of quality and substance from his prior albums, and the albums he made immediately following it are fucking awful. But more power to you if you dig it. I'm partial to a little Modern Love if I'm in the right mood. Blackstar is pretty much universally praised though.

They set up a change, they didn't show it. The change happened between seasons. And I think it happened to a greater degree than the ending of S8 implied.

I think that's needless semantics to be honest, but if it's something we just have fundamentally different readings of, that's what it is.

>Then please explain to me what RTD's use of newscasters has to do with Capaldi's characterization because I really don't see it.
The frequent newscaster footage was endemic of RTD's tendency to spell out any and all story elements as loudly and obviously as possible. He wrote in a very expository style. There's nothing inherently wrong with this and it worked well for bringing the show back. Moffat didn't write that differently for the Matt era, but in the Capaldi era he started playing a more subtle game and "showing, not telling" with his storytelling. Down to the person in question whether it worked or not. There are no real signposts for what Clara essentially becoming the Doctor in Hell Bent signifies, but a viewer could take certain readings from it, for example. There's no seen of Clara telling Ashildr/Me what that signifies. It's left to the viewer, although all the pieces are there. Because of things like that, a lot of people complain about what they see as baseless storytelling, because it's not being spoonfed to them. It's a lot like the difference between YA and adult fiction, for example. I'm not even saying the latter is better, just that it's different.

Aw man, Shit Trips 1 was dedicated to Bowie too

>>85288863
No Let's Dance and Blackstar are patrician as fuck, he's just got so much great material. Basically everything he did from Hunky Dory to Let's Dance, that's like 11 albums of top tier music.

After that his material becomes kind of weak, was more interested in skiing and raising his kid than the music, though Buddha of Suburbia is good and I have a soft spot for Outside, but he returned to form with Heathen, sadly the follow up Reality wasn't as good and then he retired for 10 years after a health scare, but when he came back, Next Day and Blackstar definitely belong up there with his peak material.

Remind me who the fuck is Jason and Billy and why is this one man so keen on their arrest

But that's exactly the opposite of what we're arguing about. The change in the Doctor's character was spelled out as loudly and obviously as possible in The Magician's Apprentice, perhaps more than any other change in his personality before that point, regenerations aside. Hinting at a softening of the Doctor's perspective at the end of series 8 and then turning him into a rock star at the start of the next series is as far from subtlety as it gets in my book. Far more than any character development in the Eccleston-Tennant-Smith eras.

>>85286876

>alsofinewith is back and is ruining /wo/ once again

>>85289842
I don't see how it was a "hint" at the end of series 8 and I've made my case for why. And I was framing lack of subtlety in expository terms. Telling a story in an audiovisual medium through audio and visuals is subtle compared to how 99% of the dreck we get on television spews everything out through dialogue.

Listen to 'The Idiot' by Iggy Pop. It's more or less a David Bowie album with Iggy acting as basically a guinea pig for Bowie's experiments. It contains the original, more deranged version of 'China Girl' which I personally prefer. God-tier album either way.

The vast majority of "prestige television" still pales in comparison to film and falls trap to the same old dialogue crap. The only 2017 show I can think of that properly transcends it is Twin Peaks. American Gods did a good job of it too. Moffat Who is nowhere near the extent to which they use the medium creatively, it does its own kind of unique thing in using the ~50 years of the show's mythology to pull its thematics through a meta discourse. It could be done in literature or music too, but it's interesting to see it done on television. I appreciate the ambition.

What is everyone's favorite episode from each NuWho season? I'm powering through it right now as I'm waiting for the Classic Who series. Two parters are allowed and if you can't decide between two post both.

Series 1
>Dalek
>This was the episode that cemented 9 as my favorite Doctor.
>It was also my first intro to the Daleks and I thought there were legitley terrifying.

Series 2
>The Impossible Planet - The Satan Pit
>This episode had an Event Horizon feel and I loved it.

Series 3
>Gridlock
>I initially hated this episode but it has grown on me and I enjoyed the design of all the cars, the creature, and the religious undertones.

Series 4
>Midnight
>Ten delivered a pulse pounding episode that takes place in a single location but nails the creepy factor. AN amazing bottle episode.

Series 5
>The Time of Angels /Flesh and Stone
>I know this is a cliched choice but this was my first episode with 11 and I was amazed that they could make statues scary.

Series 6
>The God Complex
>i don't even know where to begin. I might be wrong on this but I got a Stanley Kubrick from this episode.

Series 7
>Asylum of the Daleks
>Its not often that I consider the season opener one of the best of the season but this episode proved me wrong.

Series 8
>Listen
>I loved the design of all the sets they visit and having a monster that uses the audience's imagination against them.

Series 9
>Heaven Sent
>While it's technically part of a trilogy of episodes that round out the season, I consider this episode the best of the bunch and distinctly seprate from the preceding and proceeding episodes.

Series 10
>World Enough and Time/The Doctor falls
>This episode legitimately made Cybermen scary which I consider a feat on its own. It's a heartfelt episode that honestly feels like a season finale rather than just an action packed episode. Also the two Masters were fantastic.
