"pop song playing during traumatic events" is genuinely my favourite RTD meme
And I say that unironically

>>79553345
Why is nadine in there? That meme's deader than martha's crooked teeth

>>79554101
Because she was memed as the new companion. Plus the fact that you remembered her means she's still relevant.

>>79554233
>the fact that you remembered her means she's still relevant.
I wish I didn't though.

>>79554233
She was memed over a year ago. I remember ZA IS NO LEADER too but that doesn't mean it deserves a place on the hype train

You don't have to take it personally, you know. We've all posted unfunny memes at some point.

>>79554542
Why can't there be Nadine? Basement McGann is on there and he's been memed over 3 years ago.

>>79554563
The fact that you keep coming at me tells me you have something personal with me though.

Thank Moffat for bringing in the Tumblr crowd.

Tumblr have also invaded Gallifrey Base. I see people spouting that they don't want another 'white cis male doctor' unironically.

It's not 'diversity' if it's just black people all the fucking time.

It's as if they want the show to fail.

No, not en masse. Smith's Doctor made Doctor Who popular in America — the majority of people just went back and watched from 2005, so Tennant retroactively became more popular.

>>79559720
A CGI Susan wakes up in maths class. It was all a dream.

Then she looks out of the window, to see a police box. A policeman steps out. And he has the face of William Hartnell.

They make eye contact.

He smiles at her.
She smiles at him.

"SUSAN!" calls Barbara, reverting her attention to the teacher. "That's the third time you've drifted off this week."

"Sorry, Miss. Haven't been getting much sleep."

"Then perhaps you should see a Doctor."

Where does an old man go to die, but with his children?

I love the War Doctor. And I love John Hurt. I really do.

But if Christopher Eccleston had been the Time War doctor and he appeared at the end of Name of the Doctor back in 2013, I probably would have licked Moffat's greasy Scottish arsehole whilst we drank fine wine.

>>79559720
Y'know, I wouldnt mind a stealth cancelation just before Eaters of Light...just because of the writer. How fitting it'd be.

Hello young Whovians. How did you enjoy my episode 'Sleep No More'?

I felt that it was a thrill a minute. A sort of Bank Holiday Monday feel, the kind of Jules Verne, Edgar Rice Burroughs story of derring-do, which I've always loved.

>>79560812
Bleach is good, but I, Davros alone is enough to cement Terry Molloy as the best for me.

why did RTD bring back davros if he wasn't even going to use him? he had like 20 lines maybe.

>>79560908
Molloy and Wisher are of equal standard for me. Molloy's Davros is a brilliant, ranty pantomime, whereas Wisher is the cold, calculating scientist. Bleach manages to effortlessly combine the two. I'd love to see him in a 10/10 episode

>>79560946
He was literally playing with his toys and a few dildos got lost in the process, becoming Metacrisis Ten, Davros and others.

>>79560946
RTD always said it was the 'plan' to bring back major classic villains every series
>Daleks S1
>Cybermen S2
>The Master S3
>Davros S4

So i'm guessing he just wanted to bring Davros back but couldn't think of a Davros story, so he literally just plonked him in the Dalek's basement and talk to the Doctor about morality for a bit

>>79560973
>>79561008
I had idea for an episode where the Sontarans capture Davros and make him their general, only to realize that he's more of a scientist than a strategist, and not the actual leader of the Daleks. An exasperated Doctor has to end up saving him and none of the three parties involved really want anything to do with each other.

>>79561107
I'd watch that as long as they weren't the shitty comedy Strax sontarans

The Doctor and Clara are summoned by UNIT after a large light appears on Earth that can be seen at any time, any place. People have started disappearing and an old enemy is lurking in the shadows. But the light is not any other light. It's THE light. The one that signals the end of civilizations...

>>79561165
Are you the person who constantly posts story ideas about this same 'light'? What is this light? What's it's purpose? How does it function? Is it a sort of derring-do? I've always loved that.

The Doctor and Clara land on a galaxy with a single planet orbiting a dying sun. Helpless, the photosynthesis inhabitants now have to turn to drilling the ground to get the light from the planet's core, but something is waking up beneath, and the Doctor finds out the sun's extinction is everything but natural...

Separated through History, the Doctor faces the Silurians in jurassic time, Nardole must face the laws of Florence and its crazed Cult of the Lizards and the new companion is on the run from a suspicious CIA-like agency, which agents' tongues are incredibly long and reptile looking... what's the Order of the Stones?

Doctor who is fucking garbage.
It can tell any story in all of time and space and it always ends up a shitty looking celebration of mediocrity.
It's a predictable, safe formulaic children's show where the Le wacky man saves the day with some 'witty' banter and a 'clever' scheme.
The Doctor never goes anywhere in his development, just going from dark to light or dark to light depending on the incarnation.
It has no love for science or history, it just boils everything down for lowest common denominator. It's a waste of time and effort,
why don't you losers mature and watch some grown up television for a change.
You shouldn't watch doctor who unless it's with your own children but I really don't want you plebs procreating.

But which Doctor Who do you like the most? Hartnell, Tennant, McCoy, Capaldi, maybe even McGann?

>>79569734
>What did Benedict Cumberbatch earn for Doctor Strange?
People here seem to have a weird definition of what an unaffordable A-list actor is.

Cumberbatch is borderline A-list because of his career trajectory and the sheer number of high-buzz projects he does, but he's still never earned anywhere near A-list salaries on anything. He got $2.6M on Doctor Strange, and that's more than twice he ever got on anything before.

Swinton is nowhere near A-list. She works on movies where she loves the script, she's friends with the writer, or (in the past) David Bowie had a dream where she was in it, and she calls the producers up and begs to be in them before her agent can start negotiating, so she often makes salaries under $250K. She did probably get about $1M for Doctor Strange, but if that's the start of a star turn, it'll be the only one in history for a mid-50s woman.

Meanwhile, how much can the BBC pay? They may not pay Tennant-like £1M/year salaries ever again, but nine people (including Cumberbatch for Sherlock) made over £450K for roles in 2016, and their salaries were not disclosed.

So, Doctor Who could probably afford to pay Swinton around £450K, and that would probably be comparable to any movie she did instead.

Honestly, it's not the actors that make Doctor Who but the scripts. You can have top tier actors like Capaldi brought low by shit scripts.

>>79571151
>Honestly, it's not the actors that make Doctor Who but the scripts.
It's a combination. Especially because, despite what Chibs may be saying in public (and may actually believe, if he's an idiot), good writers write differently for different characters.

Switch the scripts that Troughton and Pertwee had, and most of their best stories would be terrible. Or imagine McGann doing any of Colin Baker's best Big Finish scripts, and it's as bad as McGann doing Colin's worst Pip&Jane TV scripts—but with scripts written for McGann's Doctor, he's amazing.

Any decent writers would write Andrew Buchan, Richard Ayoade, Hayley Atwell, or Tilda Swinton differently from how they'd write Peter Capaldi.

Hey guys, why room with diamond wall didnt reset as the rest of the castle?

>>79571790
The diamond wall is part of the confession dial.

>>79571790
The diamond wall is the edge of the dial, not part of its created interior.

But they could have just put a couple inches of concrete in front of it—enough that the Doctor couldn't break through it in a single lifetime, and then it would reset each time. That would have been easy. The reason they didn't is the whole point—what the Doctor did was crazy, and nobody ever anticipated anyone would be as crazy as that.

And in 2004 they would have been all dressed as 4. Anyone who hasn't gotten over that yet isn't a real Doctor Who hipster^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hfan.

Meanwhile, is that guy in the back right dressed as RTD dressed as 10? Because that's clever. I once thought I saw someone dressed as JNT dressed as 6, but it turned out it was actually just JNT.

>>79571936

Why wouldnt they design a concrete wall in front of him? Have timelords ran out of budget?

He's the universal righter of wrongs and protector of cats.

Rest in peace Wolsey.

I mean the Doctor isn't that harmful compared to the Master for example or the Celestial Toymaker or the Eternals for that matter so the TLs have their priorities.

I have no urge to rewatch any of S9 except Heaven Sent.

Everything else varies from terrible to mediocre. Missy and daleks episodes were BAD!

>>79572049
I adore Heaven Sent but 4.5 billion years is an unimaginably and unnecessarily long amount of time. AND THE DOCTOR REMEMBERS ALL OF IT! Does Moffat have ANY notion of time at all, because he could have put the Doctor in the dial for 4.5 thousand years and it would still get the point across that he was in there for a really fucking long time? Actually remembering doing the same thing for billions of years and just getting a bit upset about it and carrying on rather than, say, falling into a coma from sheer shock and mental trauma is laughable.

>>79572226
>Rest in peace Wolsey.
Didn't Big Finish only kill him off in one of Doggles' alternate timelines? Or did he die for real somewhere else?

>>79572389
>AND THE DOCTOR REMEMBERS ALL OF IT!
Considering that it's nearly identical every time, there's not actually that much to remember.

>>79572475
It's still billions of years worth of memories. How does even the Doctor have that much brain space or whatever?

Only in Something Changed - Dead Mice. I'll dump the story, it's only about 11 pages long. Braxiatel is super fucked up, I'm pretty sure the death is permanent though.

>>79572549
When I took tennis lessons as a kid, I went to dozens of sessions, but I only have a couple of specific memories, and everything else is merged together into one sort of general memory of a tennis lesson.

The Doctor's repeats are even more similar than that—probably the only noticeable difference between the 69105th time and the 69106th is the difference between the suddenly shock of realizing "Holy shit, I've done this 69104 times" and "Holy shit, I've done this 69105 times", and even that difference would merge together over time into a general recollection of "Holy shit, I've done this (big number in the tens of thousands range) times!"

And that's even before you remember that Time Lords are established to have an inhuman ability to edit their memories, both consciously and unconsciously, so the process is probably even more complete for him.

>>79572584
Thanks. I read the story, but it was a long time ago. I just have a vague recollection that at the end, most of what happened in most of the stories turned out to be inside alternate timelines because of the History Editor from the framing story.

>>79572804
And now, looking it up on TARDIS Data Core, apparently we learn that those other timelines have faded out _while we're at Wolsey's funeral_, which now seems familiar, so my recollection is an idiot…

>>79572804
The timelines are really confusing with the history machine.

That story is so messed up though alongside that story where Braxiatel meets his human self in an alt timeline.

>The timelines are really confusing with the history machine.
After I was finally able to pirate all the holes in my collections (and have them all on my tablet instead of digging them out of boxes), I was going to reread everything in order, but after the NAs I went on to the EDAs and then the first FP series, and then I didn't want to read both versions of Dead Romance so close to each other so I put the Benny books off again, and the BF Benny collections obviously have to come after the Benny NAs, so… by the time I reread them in 2030 or so, I'll probably have completely forgotten them…

>>79573246
I don't think that rereading/relistening is necessary but I wish that I could re-experience the most brilliant Benny audios again.

>>79553253

WHO THE FUCK IS JOHN SIMM

>>79573307
>I don't think that rereading/relistening is necessary
Well, the first time through I missed more than half the stories, and rereading the ones that I did read the first time seemed like a better idea than skipping them. After all, it's been a quarter of a century in between. (Holy shit…)

That being said, I have no idea why I was masochistic enough to reread stuff like War of the Daleks, and I wouldn't recommend that part to anyone else…

>>79573333
He's relevant because he was in this show where his character traveled back in time and they mentioned Doctor Who as a joke. Other than that, he has no connection to the series.

>>79573480
I only read War of the Daleks once and that was enough for me. Holy shit anon...

To cringed to ever watch Sammy, what does he say? Something about female Doctor?

>>79573560
I think it was mostly that if I skipped War of the Daleks, I'd feel really dumb for having not skipped The Eight Doctors (or Timewyrm: Genesys or any of the other total crap before it).

And to be honest, War wasn't actually the hardest one to get through in my reread. The truly bad ones, at least they elicit a kind of nostalgia for the good old days of wanting to track down and murder John Peel. The competent but completely blah stories, like Placebo Effect, there's just nothing to keep you going.

>>79572389
It was to show how long it took for the diamond wall to break down.

>>79573826
I've done a lot of cherrypicking with other people's favourite lists and my favourite characters after the EDAs.

>>79574145
Probably a lot smarter than what I did. It's not like you really need to read all of them to get the story, unless you think the story is things like "how did Sabbath turn into a generic Master clone"…

The Doctor embarks on a bog standard mid season filler episode written by a small name, then dies unceremoniously at the end.

The rest of the season is removed from the schedule and nobody from the production or show ever discuss the other half of the series or whether it really was the last episode.

>>79575555
It's SHEEP, actually.

eccleston = daggerfall
tennant = morrowind
smith = oblivion
capaldi = skyrim

its like poetry

>>79561008
Implying RTD was capable of ever using show villains in thematically fitting ways to their established lore.

They were just used to pull in the old fan shock value and to give the finale explosionfests the feeling that something epic is happening whilst in reality it was just the Dr vs. Some guy who wants to kill the universe every season.

Don't get me wrong, Moffat vomited out some tripe over his years but most his villains actually felt as though they were suited for the plot they were in.

Props to 11ths 2nd finale where he himself is basically the villain.

>>79561008
Sorry, but when was Davros ever anything but a guy sitting in a basement/fortress/dark room who commanded the Daleks and had a fight of words with the Doctor?

Remember when we watched it together, Wanderer?

>>79576234
Well, there's all the times when he sat in a basement _not_ commanding any Daleks and having a fight of words with the Doctor.

And obviously, Big Finish is cooler than TV for mostly ripping off those stories instead of the ones where he has Daleks.

>Steven Moffat has said that Peter Capaldi “came close” to staying on in Doctor Who.
>The Twelfth Doctor will regenerate in the 2017 Christmas special, but he could have carried on into Chris Chibnall’s debut series.
>“It took Peter a long time to make up his mind,” Moffat tells Broadcast in a new interview.
>“Chris tried to persuade him to stay [on for Series 11 in 2018].”
>He adds: “I knew it was a possibility that he’d leave because Doctors tend to do three years. I thought that he might want to opt out, rather than go through the trauma of a change in command and maybe leaving a year later anyway. But I think he came close to staying.”

If he was close to staying, what tipped him over the edge to decide to leave?

What was it about the Woman Who Lived script that made Moffat think, "Yes, forget everything I said about no story arc this year, this is the story arc. I must immediately rewrite half the episodes." I mean, it's not a bad script, but it's not like it's some transcendent genius idea that changes everything.
