/who/ - Doctor Who General

One of the best Christmas specials

>>79101043
MY CHILDREN

>>79101043
Great episode. Then the Doctor commits genocide.

Donna's good. So is the Racnoss. They need a return.

>The Shadow Vortex
I was wondering if War would have any stories on Earth. I'm glad they had at least one and it's pretty good. I think this might have some of the darkest implications of any War audio yet. It's a little vague, but if I understand correctly the Doctor saved Earth by letting there be two timelines, one in which Lara succeeds and the Daleks win but the paradox wipes her from history and another, which becomes the dominant timeline in our universe, in which Lara never succeeded in summoning them because she was banished to that other universe. Which means there is an existing universe where humanity was destroyed in 1961 and the Doctor's victory only consists of making sure that's not what happens in his universe. I guess the people in that other timeline are fucked though.

The cliffhanger is good but I'm a little skeptical since I found the middle episodes of the previous two anthologies to be the most boring parts.

How long until Who recovers, /who/?

What have I been waiting for? Been wasting all my time.

>>79101043
Great fun, highly rewatchable. 2nd best Christmas special.

How will you feel if Series 11 is delayed/has a lower budget because Class gets a 2nd series?

By far one of the most intersting representations of the horrors and tragedies of having to fight during the Time War. Definitely worth a listen to.
The other stories do a good job of displaying that both the Time Lords and the Daleks were absolute monsters during this period, both of them going far beyond what would be considered "appropriate" for the sake of winning the war.

>>79101499
Face it, mate. Who is annoying 5% of the time.

I love the idea of seeing Listen with other Doctors. 9 and Rose would be a good pairing but I'm not sure if 9 had the paranoia to actually pursue this adventure.

>>79101591
Nine would be the type to go "Oh well! Probably!" then move on.

Ten has the obsessive personality, and the melodrama. Eleven has the obsession potential, but not the melodrama to really get serious.

>>79101566
Actual fans know that none of these are canon.

I love the idea of 9 just immediately acknowledging it's a possibility and then moving on. He has the open mindedness to be completely accepting and the rationality to realize this probably wouldn't be worth his time.

I've always loved the idea of other Doctor's experiencing the adventures of other incarnations and the idea of Heaven Sent with other Doctors was always the one I kept coming back to. Do you think all the NuWho Doctors would be capable of going through that guantlet or do you think some would bite the dust?
>War
As much as I love War, he's a thinker and a planner, he's not as capable as he once was and may not conqueor all the physical challenges. It'd be like watching a frail kid try and hustle through Legends of the Hidden Temple.
>9
Totally make it cause he's a G.
>10
He'd make it to the Diamond Wall and then be stuck for a bit because I doubt he ego would even consider the fact he'd suppose to sacrifice himself.
>11
Total Wildcard and I feel impossible to predict in this this situation.

>>79101722
I actually really like the idea of the Doctor visiting Mickey as a kid and then realizing why Mickey held on to a bit of resentment because he never acknowledged him.

Also pic is my choice for the next Doctor. I feel he's dramatic enough for the part but I fear for his chemistry with other companions.

If I was Moffat I'd say that 11 was extraordinarily capable and find a way to Wibbly Wobby Timey Wimey his way out of his predicament. His curiosity would push him further and further into the castle but determining how he would respond to the veil would be difficult. 11 tends to get slightly off kilter when pushed and this entire scenario would bring him to his limits. His lack of composure would be actively working against him.

>7
He definitely has the intelligence to figure out the true purpose of the torture chamber, and I feel his relationship with Ace would carry him through, I just think he'd take FOREVER on that diamond wall.

>>79102231
Hi again onetruepurple.

>>79102296
Hello again. No more confessions, sorry. But I will tell you the truth.

______ur gay________________

people said Capaldi was wasted when they heard he was leaving. I think it may be a case of 12 not having a clear direction, or at least it wasn't as clear as the other incarnations. To compare, 9 was damaged by the time-war and his series was about him getting over it, 10 was similar except it was more of a case of him trying not to turn to the darkside.

as for 12 I guess you could say he was unsure of himself in series 8 and in series 9 it was about him and Claras being bad for each other.

>>79102296
Is this the new hi cats/Cloister?

>>79102057
Sorry m8 you're wrong. His performance was better in Heaven Sent. Granted though Capaldi doesn't really have any bad performances so kind of a moot argument.

>>79102246
What if Ace had died?

>>79101917
How do they decide which biblical writings are canon? Do they do historical research into their authenticity or is it more based on faith or something?
I know catholics have a few extra books as canon compared to protties but I don't know why

>>79101917
New Testament Apocrypha Gospel of judas/mary etc... or Old testament companion pieces like the talmud or the midrash?

>>79102354
12 has had 2 serieses and 2 intentional directions - "Identity crisis over whether he was good or not", and "having fun fucking around because he doesn't care"

It's two different directions but it's still a natural progression between them

>>79102354
I think also 12's run feels short because he's only had one companion so far. 11, too. Moffat has a problem with waiting forever to write companions off. Not that I don't love the Ponds and Clara, but after a while they did stick around too long.

Steven Moffat has made death mean absolutely nothing.

>>79102354
10 didn't really have a clear direction and he was pretty popular. "Capaldi was wasted" is just a meme opinion desu. his episodes aren't any worse than 10 or 11. people just like to conveniently forgot all the bad episodes from those seasons.

>>79102513
so his direction is that he has no direction.

wish i had a screen cap of her downblouse shot of cleavage when she was climbing the ladder soalking wet in the end. it was lewd!

>>79102580
not gonna tell you 10 was consistent all the time but his attitude was there from the start. getting the prime minister fired in the Xmas invasion and stating 'there is no higher power' to the cats in New Earth.

12 was played closer to a classic Doctor, he just went on adventures. Which might explain why some didn't get him.

>>79102413
Heaven Sent is his second best performace. At times his dialogue delivery is overly breathless and it's hard to make him out.

What do you think is likely for Moff's final story?

Weeping Angels? Nanogenes?

I think something happened in those 24 years on Darillium, and there's more to Nardole's return than expected

>>79102597
His direction in S9 was a direct result of the resolution of his direction in S8. If you can't even see this trivial character development then you really shouldn't be analysing anything

Am I the only one actually hyped for S10? For the first time since the classic series we have a proper TARDIS team for a whole series, Missy's back, someone used a classic monster again after a lackluster debut and moffats finally back on form (Heaven Sent and TLD)

12 constructs some weird apparatus that grounds him in one given time zone. Then he takes on a Weeping Angel, which attempts to send him back in the past but the machinery prevents it. While in a state of temporal suspension, 12 can finally interact with the Angel as if it were a living creature.

He then spends hundreds of years punching it to death and turns off the machinery, revealing that not a single second has passed in real life. He staggers to the TARDIS and regenerates from old age.

He wondered who he was in in series 8, so he realised he should just be the default doctor (a guy who doesn't know where he's going and travels for fun)
so in series 9 he acts like that default doctor

You're right. 7 would go full on Oncoming Storm and there wouldn't be a think anyone could do to stop him.

As much as I like 5 wouldn't have the wrath to get him through and I still maintain the position that 6 wouldn't have time for this shit and spill the beans once he figured out what he needed to do.

>>79102558
I feel like two series is the point where I would want a new companion. Series 2 had the added beneift of including Mickey and he added a new dynamic that was much needed.

>>79103044
I'm not stoked for Bill but I will reserve judgement until I see the first couple episodes.

>>79103054
The idea of 12 going mano a mano against a Weeping Angel for 100s of years would give him a pretty pimp sendoff.

>>79103335
Tom Ellis, yeah I could see it

>>79103390
You're right. There hasn't been a single televised season with more than one companion, constantly, since the 5th Doctor's era. Amy and Rory were constantly on and off and not always in the TARDIS, and not always together (Rory being dead, Amy being a ganger).

So basically Anon's definition of a proper TARDIS team is more than one companion for a constant length of time; at least one season. Stupid definition, though.

>default Doctor

Not the same anon you're arguing with, but all the Doctors have echoes of their former selves within their characters. The fun of seeing these 'echoes' in each incarnation is what Capaldi gets 100% and tries to do (often successfully). Humbly opinionating.

>>79103129

I dont get the 15 or how you got Tom Ellis out of that.
I've been saying I've wanted him as the doctor for awhile now, but there's no way. He's playing Lucifer on a show of the same name, and it's been pretty popular. Im pretty sure it was picked up for a 3rd season of 22 episodes with bruckheimer, the producer saying it could be the next CSI. I don't think Tom Ellis is going anywhere but staying on Fox in the US.

Thats the point, the direction of the 12 was like the classic era. The Doctor just doing his thing.

>>79103762
What if they expand on that "how many regenerations did we grant you? I've got all night!" from Hell Bent, and have 12 get killed by Rassilon, regenerate into 13, who is then killed again, then regenerates into 14, who is killed again, then regenerates into 15 before Nardole comes in and whacks Rassilon round the head with a chair?

>>79103632
They're the same character. Starts off grumpy and cold but develops into a loving and caring friend.

Do you think they'll change the TARDIS exterior? There's not much to change, but what do you want different?
I think I'd like to retire the St. John's Ambulance logo again. And maybe make the box a slightly lighter hue.

>>79103981
Make it more scruffy again.

>>79103815
Oh shit, guess I didnt remember that scene, not until now at least. He'd be a damned fine doctor. I've said it before Pcaps said he was going during a discussion of potential "dashing" doctors. Him along with Joshua Sasse.
I'd hate to see Lucifer go, but I'd love to see him in the Tardis.

Apparently 12 has someone locked away in the university throughout the course of the series.

How was Capaldi wasted|? he had really good character development sure some of the stories were crap and meh, just like all Doctor's stories though. He went from the cold and unsure trenzalore veteran who lost all his understanding of human emotions and behavior that 9-11 had due to spending 900 years fighting a war to a man trying his best to be nice again and fight his darkness in series 9, that was great character development and acting from Capaldi. The problem is the main audience do not pay attention to Capaldi's subtle yet detailed body language during episodes where he conveys a 1000 different emotions through movements alone.

>>79104044
This is true. Heard it a while ago from a reliable spoilerhound. It's Gareth , apparently.

>>79103928
I want to see Hayley in Capaldi's costume post-regeneration.

I was the one bringing up the wasted Capaldi topic, i wasn't really making an argument. It has bought up something that I heard people say about the development of various incarnations.

some get darker

He's very doctorish and also very likely to be number 13!

>>79104980
Is that the guy from the bt ads?

so if Doctor who didn't exist would there have been something else to take its place?

The only other contender I can think of is Quatermass.

>>79104384
Yeah so in the finale he gets loose and erases Moffat and Chibs so he becomes the showrunner and Capoldeh defeats him with his dying breath

So likely choices for 13 who:
Andrew Buchan
Matthew Gravelle
Mark Ellis
Kris Marshall
Who's your pick? http://www.strawpoll.me/12270497

>>79105173
>so if Doctor who didn't exist would there have been something else to take its place?
Forget Quatermass, the Brig and Liz Shaw are our long-term defense.

Of course that assumes that, without the Doctor spending all his time here, the Master, Davros, etc. don't start obsessing over our planet in the first place—if they do, it's Turn Left if we're lucky, Dead Romance more likely. But if it's just occasional "your planet is in a strategic location in the Sontaran-Rutan War" stuff, I think UNIT could handle things up until the 22nd century Dalek invasion, after which we're fucked.

>>79106165
Tom Ellis
Id like Marc Warren too

>>79105173
>so if Doctor who didn't exist would there have been something else to take its place?
Actually, forget Earth, what happens to the rest of the universe?

Maybe the Last Great Time War doesn't start because Drax or the Monk just genocides the Daleks for the CIA without thinking about the moral implications, but even if you don't count the Second War in Milesland or the Gallifrey series, some kind of time war seems inevitable, and without the Doctor, either the Time Lords blow up the universe so nobody else can have it, or they lose and someone else restructures history in their image.

>>79106208
>>79106269
I think he just meant the show.

>>79105173
>so if Doctor who didn't exist would there have been something else to take its place?
Or, if you mean out-of-universe:

According to the NAs, we'd just have Professor X.

In reality, probably nothing as creative or as long-lasting as Doctor Who, but there would still be British sci-fi. Possibly more Star Trek-influenced.

>>79104896
I will not let go of this fantasy until 13 is officially announced.

Would they really have created that without Doctor Who, without the idea that what Britain does better than America is weird dimensions and time travel and stuff?

I imagine British sci-fi going in two opposite directions trying to distinguish itself from being a cheap copy of American—post-Avengers over-the-top gonzo spy-fi would do much better without the Third Doctor to compete with, and dark and/or dystopian shows like Doomwatch and Blake's 7 (probably not those exact shows, because who'd listen to Kit Pedler or TerrNT without the Cybermen and Daleks, but…what whatever Gerry Davis and Chris Boucher would have done without them still wouldn't have been happy Star Trek).

The big thing that would be missing is the connection to "family TV". British sci-fi would be aimed more at adults than American, rather than less.

I don't care if peeps think it's spam, if one person enjoys this it will be worth it. In honor of the recent passing of John Hurt, I present the first three volumes of the War Doctor's Big Finish adventures. These are an amazing set of stories that emphasize the absolute insanity of the time war. If you enjoy this series, I highly recommend you visit the Big Finish main page and support them by purchasing some of your favorite stories.

You're free to keep doing it, but — and I don't know this for certain — I feel as if you've been doing it at least once a day for well over a WEEK.

But they're all available on VK. And I think that the vast majority of /who/ people know about VK and the Classic Doctor Who group. That's where I got it and listened to the War Doctor audios months and months ago.

It's very kind of you to do it and it doesn't really bother me to see it here and there, but you really don't have to. I'm sure that if anyone's looking for them, they'll find them or someone will link them to it.

It's kind of you to do it, anyways.

>>79108919
I'm not trying to be mean but did you read the entire post. The link is at the bottom.

Also assume that Chinball shits the bed with Series 11 and now you've been appointed with taking charge of Series 12. Also assume that for the time being your short a team of writers and instead it's up to you to pen 13 episodes. Post the tiles to your thirteen episodes as well as anything else you'd like to include.

1.The Grove of Skulls
2. Anywhere and Everywhere
3. The Burning Hands of Sarn
4. Belly of the Beast
>The Tardis has been consumed by an intergalactic asteroid eater and it's up to the Doctor to liberate his vessel before it's lost forever in the belly of the beast.
5. The Forgotten Companion
>The Doctor comes face to face with a companion they had previously left stranded on a alien world because they had believed them dead. Immediately after their rocky reunion it's obvious this forgotten friends has more on their thoughts
6. The Wheel of Eternity
7. Gambler's Folly
8. Metallic Harvest
9. The Knight of Nightmares
10. Writher
11. Sudden Death
12. The Tomb of the Lost Lords (Pt. 1)
13. Gods of Yore (Pt. 2)

Lastly, assuming that you all had any choice in the matter, what previous Doctor would you prefer this newest incarnation to most closely resemble? The clownishness of 2? The directness of 3? The ego of 6? Personally I'm looking for something closer to the Eighth Doctor. An adventurer romantic that's up for nearly anything without being so "alien" that he comes off as spastic or annoying like 11 frequently did.

Just rewatched DOTD so I was thinking, what do you guys expect for the 60th, if anything? No doubt Eccleston will say no again. I imagine we'll be on the Fourteenth Doctor by then, so perhaps a new 'Five Doctors' with 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14?

The first volume has 2/3 episodes that involve the Daleks. The first episode however involves the Doctor enjoying a trip on Keska that is extremly comfy.

The first adventure of the second volume is fucking baller and doesn't involve the Daleks at all. It's a complete adventure too. The second episode features the Doctor and company visiting a secret Dalek base and "hijinks" ensure. The third episode (Neverwhen) is fucking astonishing and spoiling it would be a disservice to the story. DOWNLOAD THAT SHIT!

i'm still working my way through the third volume and the fourth hasn't come out yet. Also I have the Eighth Doctor's adventures through the time war to look forward too.

Though I love him, ten will be too old to just ignore the age. 11 will be, too. And Capaldi will likely have retired, if not passed away.
I'd say Capaldi's successor will likely be the oldest Doctor to participate. I can't imagine there'll be more than two new Doctors by that point, though.

The first volume is a pretty well connected story throughout all three volumes.

The second volume follows a chronology of adventures but each one is more/less their own self-contained adventure.

Big Finish has added so much depth and intrigue to the War Doctor that he is now rising up the ranks in terms of favorite incarnations. The content of his adventures are so much more larger in scope because he is literally fighting in a war that spans all of time and implements weapons that fucking rewrite reality in a multitude of horrifying ways.

>>79109862
All they would have to do is have both 10/11 go through a temporal flux and it'd be fixed. Also 11 wouldn't be too bad but 10 was noticeable but not distracting.

Well getting a new Doctor and era as opposed to getting 8th Doctor stories is like rolling a dice. There's no way to know for certain that Chibnall won't be GOAT, so we might miss out on him.

>Would we all rather instead of a new Doctor we got Eighth Doctor stories?
A miniseries of Eight every time the main show's off the air for 12+ months again would be great. But not covering the same ground that BF is already covering.

How about adapting some pre-Sabbath Fitz & Anji stories, or inserting some new stuff in that era? Unlike the BF companions, nobody's going to care if Fitz doesn't sound like he did in that one audio where he didn't sound like Fitz anyway, so they can cast anyone who works.

I just dreamed that I was the little girl just like moot always wanted and I found a way that I could separate into two and play with myself nonsexually but I would get in trouble if my dad and grandmother found out so we couldn't be seen by them at the same time. This proved to be very difficult and at one point my shadow was spotted around a corner and I was mistaken for a trespasser and chased by a grandmother who's not my real grandmother I just imagined her for the dream and she could run at amazing very fast speeds. I managed to get away by distracting her and confidently returned to the house and walked into the living room where the other me and the rest of the family were like a fucking idiot, where I was seen by my grandmother who is my actual grandmother but several years younger before I ran out. I tried to hide but she knew what she saw so I decided the jig was up and came back inside to see my other self looking guilty.

Well, he can't be _too_ young, because McGann is going to look more like Night than like TV Movie, right? But that only really rules out the early EDAs, the Staci comics, and Samson & Gemma. For everything later than that, he's plausibly McGann's age already.

And I'd rather stay away from the Time War, because that's exactly the territory that BF's covering today, whereas nobody's doing his first few centuries anymore.

>>79110586
Actually, would Fear Itself work, adapted into a Children of Earth-style week-long miniseries? Or maybe a looser adaptation that kicks off a longer miniseries where they spend more time in the post-Dalek-recovery 22nd century?

Would a Doctor similar to David Morrisey be out of the questions?

Also I'm down for Atwell but I don't thin we're going to be lucky enough to get her.

>>79111500
Wasn't Morrisey just playing generic Doctor in that episode?

>>79111534
From my memory he was just a Person mind manipulated to think he's the Doctor, but the look him itself it very doctor esque. I'd be down for a still adult Doctor (probably without the white hair) and he had a great look to him. Very curious to see what Chinball brings to the table.

>>79111779
He was practically a parody of the Doctor though. Well, not a parody as such, but he was designed to look and act like what you'd expect the Doctor to. He was as generic as it gets. Not sure why you'd want a real Doctor similar to him

Why don't Big Finish do some sort of subscription service? I think they'd get a lot more customers if they did.

>>79112005
By subscription I mean Netflix/Spotify esque, where you can listen to any for a fixed price, rather than receive one per month as they do currently

>>79112005
>Why don't Big Finish do some sort of subscription service?
They do.

They no longer have a "subscribe to everything" or even "subscribe to everything Doctor Who", because that would be too much for anyone. But you can subscribe to Doctor Who Monthly, or any other regular range. And you get occasional bonus stories that way (although half the time they get released for free a few months later anyway).

>>79112005
They do but it's not a real subscription service. You can buy a bunch of audios at once (they have to be in sequence though, you can't pick and choose) at a reduced price + a free CD of your choosing.

>>79112039
A real subscription service would be good, yeah. Plus a way to stream the audios from the site would make it a lot more user-friendly/appealing. I don't think they really care though. They probably make most of their money from the diehard fans who buy every release.

>>79112039
>By subscription I mean Netflix/Spotify esque
That's not a bad idea.

They already sell the old ones as download-only at a discount. It might make sense to have a monthly fee to stream anything you want up to X months ago, or even doing the annoying Hulu thing where different stories get cycled through availability.

Write to them—they might tell you why they're not doing it, or even think about doing it. It's not like they're some massive corporate conglomerate like BBC Enterprises.

Trying to figure out if it's still cheaper to do a 12-download subscription if I already own 3 of the audios in it. This must be what Chris felt like when that girl forced him to do math.

Also, can you no longer pick which free CD you get? I remember last time I had an option from different ranges, which was really good. Seems a bit unfair to just give me a random main range CD (even if it's a Shearman one), especially since I'm clearly planning on buying them all anyway so it'll just mess up a future subscription or force me to pay for it twice.

>>79112519
Actually, I think I've just worked it out. It would cost almost $36 to buy those nine audios separately, which is already more expensive than the subscription, without even taking into account the free CD.

Am I right? That seems weird. Also, I'm almost starting to wish that I pirated BF. I used to be really adamant that I'd only ever buy from them but I really don't like to think how much I've spent on ear stories, and how much more I'll be spending on them over the years.

>>79112519
>>79112586
Nevermind about the free CD thing too. It looks like it lets you select one from a different range as well. Which I guess means you get 2 CDs? I have no idea. It's confusing.

I wonder where everybody went.

Honestly, when I've got gaps to fill in, I just pirate them, and then buy a subscription to something else that I probably wouldn't have otherwise bought.

Which reminds me, I've still got that original Judge Dredd miniseries for well over a decade and haven't listened to it yet…

The reason I set myself the strict No Pirating Big Finish rule in the first place was because I knew if I pirated one I'd probably stop paying for them at all. And now that I've stopped buying CDs, so I'm not even building a collection, it's harder and harder to justify paying for all of it.

lmao at the Sontarans in this. They want to join the time war but they don't even have a reason to, they just want to be included. Too perfect. And I like how it's kind of a prequel to The Sontaran Stratagem, as it addresses the fact that they "weren't allowed" to be part of the war.

>>79113043
>>dude what if... ahahaha... dude what if... THE MOON WAS AN EGG
Or maybe "Hey, you know that book we ripped off and cut all the interesting stuff out of to turn into Journey of the Center of the TARDIS? It's also got a moon that's an egg, and that's something we could rip off without getting interesting."

Either that or, "What if we did that one Mortimore book, but instead of trillions of people dying, a few schoolkids get a little scared?"

>>79113005
Speaking the goddamn truth. And I'm mostly speaking because it was the first time that I began to see what a terrible person Clara was. It wasn't the Doctor's place to have told them what to do but he should have been prepared if they got the decision "wrong" and not been a little bitch about it.

>>79113173
>And I'm mostly speaking because it was the first time that I began to see what a terrible person Clara was
What are you talking about? The Doctor was a complete asshole to her in that story. What did she do that was wrong?

>>79113089
>The reason I set myself the strict No Pirating Big Finish rule in the first place was because I knew if I pirated one I'd probably stop paying for them at all.
I set myself budgets for certain things (Big Finish, self-released/small-label music, etc.) and that's worked to stop myself from ripping them off. Don't know if it would work for anyone else, but it does for me.

He gave her a choice and she threw a bitch fit that he didn't make it for her. He is not responsible for deciding every single aspect of the human race's evolution. Do you remember what fucking happened with Sattelite 5? He learned from his mistakes and decided to stay out of it. She thought that because she hung around with the Doctor that made her above the decisions made by mere mortals and that if she were ever to be forced to act on her own, she'd always had the Doctor to fall back on. He let her make a grown up decision and even then she decided to SUPERCEDE THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE and make their decision for them

You're a weird one.

>She thought that because she hung around with the Doctor that made her above the decisions made by mere mortals and that if she were ever to be forced to act on her own, she'd always had the Doctor to fall back on.
Which is an environment he created. You can't just reassure someone that they are safe with you and that you'll help them through difficult situations and then randomly fuck off one day and leave them alone to possibly die and/or kill. That's terrible behaviour and she had every right to be angry with him.

>He let her make a grown up decision
He didn't "let her", he forced her too. He abandoned her in a terrible situation without any warning.

>and even then she decided to SUPERCEDE THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE and make their decision for them
Which is the exact decision he wanted her to make? What?

In hindsight, she wasn't forced to do anything so the "crisis" she experienced was a crisis of her own doing (remember the Doctor wanted to leave). There was an Earth appointed astronaut that was there to resolve the situation (albeit with bombs but that was the plan). Clara's input wasn't necessary and when she didn't like the answer the world came up with (blow up the moon), she basically told them to fuck off and made the decision for them. Even if the human race was to "get it wrong", it was still their decision and to have "Clara, I'm better than you because I pal around with the Doctor" make it for them is a slap in the face to all of humanity. Fuck. Clara.

>>79114135
Honestly I wouldn't have even minded if she just took the matter into her own hands from the beginning, but putting up the pretense of taking a vote and then ignoring the results when they don't turn out in your favor is pretty scummy. Although let's be honest, it wouldn't be much of a vote because the governments would just force the power companies to shut everything down, but the episode doesn't seem to consider that and wants us to think that the Earth going dark really represents the will of the people.

>>79110495

>>79114345
Let us know how it goes. I might be up for something like that if it can be a regular scheduled thing. Ive been wanting to work something into my routine such as this and having "friends" to do it with would be a motivating incentive. It would be nice for /who/ have listening/viewing parties regularly (again). Fostering a sense of community, etc.

>>79114135
>In hindsight, she wasn't forced to do anything so the "crisis" she experienced was a crisis of her own doing
Yes she was, she was forced to either sit by and let the moon be blown up, killing the creature inside plus herself and a student of hers, or stop the bomb and possibly doom the entire planet. Did you even watch the episode?

>(remember the Doctor wanted to leave)
When? Earlier in the episode both Clara and Courtney asked to leave but the Doctor refused because he wanted to stay. He only leaves to force Clara into the situation of decision-making.

>Clara's input wasn't necessary and when she didn't like the answer the world came up with (blow up the moon), she basically told them to fuck off and made the decision for them. Even if the human race was to "get it wrong", it was still their decision and to have "Clara, I'm better than you because I pal around with the Doctor" make it for them is a slap in the face to all of humanity. Fuck. Clara.
So you're praising the Doctor's decision to abandon Clara there and force her to be part of the process but criticising her for picking the choice that he wanted her to? The choice that he would've picked if he had been there? What?

If the decision should have been left up to the humans of that time, then why leave Clara there at all? If Clara and Courtney should've refrained from being involved, all the Doctor accomplished by not taking them with him is letting them die in the explosion.

>>79113700
>First one coming up is Phantasmagoria
Unless you're planning on doing all of them in release order or something (but skipping #1), why not start with one of the good ones? You don't miss anything by hearing, say, 6/Evelyn's first story before 5/Turlough's, after all.

So we aren't going to find out who the 13th Doctor is for quite some time apparently. That kind of stinks.

I'm not ignoring that, mostly because I'm not sure what story you're referring to.

Then why did the Doctor leave her there?

>If I somehow wander my way into the war room while the president is making a decision I don't somehow magically get a vote. Clara is an egotistical sociopathic school teacher and doesn't deserve sympathy for feeling like she was forced into a difficult situation.
What the fuck are you talking about? She wasn't "feeling" that way, she literally was forced into that situation. The Doctor abandoned her and wouldn't let her come with her because he wanted her to make the decision.

So in your eyes, she was supposed to just sit there twiddling her thumbs thinking "oh well this doesn't involve me" before being blown apart by dozens of nukes? That would be the reasonable, non-'sociopathic' response to the situation, would it?

>Chibnall added that after Broadchurch airs he plans to take a holiday before beginning work in earnest on Doctor Who.
>According to sources, the search for a new Doctor will be completed in the autumn and the new Time Lord will appear in an on-screen regeneration when Capaldi leaves the role in the 2017 Christmas special.

>>79116628
Yeah, I wouldn't put too much faith in it; "according to sources" sounds a lot like "because reasons." But the part about Chibnall taking a holiday apparently comes from Chibs himself.

>>79116628
>an awful lot of statements in that article are accompanied with "according to sources" or "insiders"
It's not like this is the Sun or the Mirror; when RT says "BBC sources say", someone from the BBC really did tell them.

Then again, RT isn't exactly the Telegraph or the Guardian, either, and an awful lot of people work at the BBC. They could be getting third-hand information from a guy who overheard someone talking about what Chibnall said he was going to say to the bosses when he meets with them later…

Lots been going on.

First, we lost a Doctor for the first time in over two decades — for a lot of us, it was the first time we'd ever experienced that, and it was /who/'s first time, too. RIP to John Hurt, the man who managed to be the Doctor on the day that it was impossible to get it right.

Then, the incumbent Doctor, Peter Capaldi, announced that this series would be his last. We're less than a year away from a new man — or woman — sauntering away.

And that in itself has stirred quite a bit of buzz. What kind of Doctor will we get next? Will they be funny? Sarcastic? ..Sexy? A WOMAN? Ginger?

But that's still up in the air. Whatever happens next, we have no power to interfere. But it's still fun to wonder.

But, in all this madness, /who/ has started to be more lively. We're shaking off the off-season dust and we've had more threads in the past week than we had in the entire previous month. And that's fantastic. But, through all the chaos, no one's asked, so I feel that I should:

What's who with you, /who/?

>But, in all this madness, /who/ has started to be more lively. We're shaking off the off-season dust and we've had more threads in the past week than we had in the entire previous month. And that's fantastic.

21st Centuty Feminists were a mistake. Really.

>>79121168
Which? The ones saying it'll be a female or the ones saying it won't?

The Doctor is a 900(ish) year old alien with two hearts, at least 12 different faces and the ability to travel through all of time and space. So why is it so hard to imagine the Doctor as a woman?

Peter Capaldi’s decision to leave Doctor Who at the end of the upcoming season has started speculation about options for his replacement. This is a sport of high stakes for fans – the grief of losing the current lead mixed with the excitement of a new face and new identity.

Doctor Who is now over 50 years old, and over that time television conventions have certainly changed. When the first Time Lord was cast in 1963, the audience and BBC felt an elder statesman and “mad scientist”-type was best to lead the franchise. The Doctor was played by William Hartnell, a proper, older, white Englishman – a grandfather, even – and audiences and the Beeb happily relied on this casting to draw in their desired audience.

Hartnell feel ill soon after he had established the character and the role of “The Doctor” for Doctor Who. Rather than cancel or merely replace him, the show’s creators worked with the science fiction narrative to write in the character’s “renewal,” later to be known as the Time Lord’s process of “regeneration”.

Since Hartnell, Doctor Who has covered 12 regenerations and featured 13 (male) Doctors – not counting the other “Doctor” castings in audiobooks, comics, offshoots and parodies. Favourites include the incomparable Tom Baker, the undeniable David Tennant, the hipster cool of Matt Smith and the recently deceased, but eternally wonderful John Hurt as “The War Doctor” for the program’s fiftieth anniversary special in 2013.

During at least the last couple of “regeneration” rounds, questions of casting and diversity have been asked. Why has the lead still be taken by a white man? What about actors of colour? What about, shock, a woman? They got away with it once – Joanna Lumley appeared as part of a joke sequence of swift regenerations for a Comic Relief special – but never as part of the show proper. As British television scholar Lorna Jowett beautifully put it;

>Doctor Who should push the boundaries of representation in the casting of its title character because it can. It’s a major science fiction series with a protagonist who is an alien. The Doctor need not be bound by social conventions.

Jowett’s point gets to the heart, beauty, and genius of Doctor Who as a television story. It’s repeatable in almost any way the producers of the day choose. Adaptable and barely bound by timey whimey wibbly wobbly rules – except when it comes to the last (gendered) frontier.

Sorry fellow nerds – I’m straying from one sci fi galaxy here into another – but you know what I’m saying.

A few weeks ago the US-based “inclusive, feminist community” The Mary Sue offered five reasons why it was finally time for a female Doctor, with author Holly Christine Brown arguing against existing stereotypes of women as villains, romantic distractions or side kicks. Given we know the position will be vacant again soon, we can formally begin regeneration speculation (and campaigns) to have the lucky Doctor number 13 cast by a female actor rather than a male.

Vanity Fair has been one of the first major outlets to raise the issue again, while reports in the iconic British masthead Radio Times have so far tended to avoid recasting talk, instead focusing on the more pressing business of promoting Capaldi’s upcoming (final) series which is still yet to air. The Guardian has also launched a pro-woman Doctor campaign, suggesting actors like the Olivier Award winner Noma Dumezweni as exciting possibilities.

[Noma Dumezweni, who played Hermione Granger in stage play Cursed Child, has been suggested as a replacement for Peter Capaldi. Supplied]

Strong female leads are now on the rise across television (thankfully), and reports like Screen Australia’s “Gender Matters” and subsequent initiatives to help address gender in balance are positive steps. Research from The Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media also suggests that “Gender balance in casting produces sound financial returns”, and at times, even increased earnings for films that are gender diverse when compared to those that aren’t. So there is some hope that a Doctor Who-like television program lead by an excellent woman could work, and work well. However – are we able to accept the direct replacement of a male actor with a female one?

If reactions to the 2015 Ghostbusters reboot are anything to go by, it seems that any incumbent actor will be in for an uphill battle regardless of how talented she is. Suggestions that the recasting “killed the childhoods” of many angry viewers or was “reverse sexism” were loud, and sadly, got pretty ugly at times.

While all of the cast members received criticism (much of it even before the film was released), the abuse directed at Leslie Jones was downright shameful. It was disappointing that she moved away from the spotlight for a while, but also completely understandable. No one should be subjected to that.

However, we also know that the trolls are not the only people who watched and were influenced – with praise coming from, importantly, new generations of young girls (and boys) who were having some of their first screen experiences with funny, fierce and kickarse women in the lead roles.

So – a message to (Queen) Helen Mirren, (Should Be President) Meryl Streep, (Dame) Sarah Millican, (Lady) Miranda Hart, (Glorious) Meera Syal… and any others who might get a knock on the door or have an agent make a call – don’t let the trolls scare you. Same goes for you, incoming Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall. Take a chance, explore all of time and space – and hand the sonic screwdriver over to a woman, hey?

Is there a reason I can't just ignore her, the same way I ignore the trolls from /pol/ on the opposite side? I mean, is she someone important who has Chibnall's ear or millions of followers ready to boycott, or someone with something new to add to the discussion?

Personally, I'd definitely like Chibnall to include women in the search, and I actually love the idea of Hayley, but if the best person he can get for the job turns out to be a man, I'm fine with that, too.

It was. Should have happened right after Capaldi and Moffat left. Except the brand was severely damaged and the third party decided it had no potential anymore, no one would care or watch. It should have been a massive relaunch. They scrapped it in early 2015.

Did they ever say "brother", though? I only remember Mycroft saying "the other one".

>>79123216
John definitely does right before the reveal
it's possible moff was playing on our inherent sexism of assuming it was a male but I swear it was implied to be another brother.

I don't have the quotes on me but I believe in the scene where mycroft says 'the other one' the topic in question was specifically his brother. So "other one" would imply other brother since 'one' is nonspecific and relies on previous information, and 'brother' was the topic in question

>>79122323
Moffat, not the BBC. And yes, they have been lining black actors. No women though. Moffat also blocked the big movie that was supposed to happen directly after the 50th and imposed Capaldi. The BBC continued their endeavour in sub marine mode, to no avail. I'd say it's almost like Moffat did all he did since 2013 on purpose so as not to get a movie.
