/who/ - Doctor Who General

>>80306763
First for good riddance Moffat.

So why /who/ keeps generals up and running and trekkies cant? Is Doctor Who really special?

Am I the only one who loves the Capaldi pose?

>>80306821
Doctor Who is:
1. More intelligent.
2. Older and thus has seniority.
3. Capable of staying on the air for more than a decade, continuously.
4. In the possession of a more varied and therefore more fun fanbase.

It's also just got a cooler premise. Star Trek is really just all right. But there's a reason why it's been around longer than ST and there's a reason why I'd bet my left testicle that it'll be around even longer. So fuck off and let us enjoy ourselves since our new season is a month way. Have fun with your latest soon-to-be-flop.

>>80307287
Please can this show stop using fucking weeping angels
they were only scary in blink, which is arguably the best episode of the show, but now the angels are so fucking overused that they're boring

>>80307286
So you can delete them and pretend they never were written in the first place Andrea? I don't think so.

It's the Thirteenth Doctor

>>80307080
They're actually about the same. There are intelligently written episodes from both, but there's also some terrible shit too.

Although one thing I'm not too fond of with Star Trek that Doctor Who doesn't really have is the glorification of the creator and his ideals.

>>80307310
They haven't been in a fucking episode as the main enemy since 2012. They're due a comeback.

>>80307169
But he said it's "much better" than McGann. Does he like McGann in the first place? How are we to take this?

>>80307310
I found them scarier in Flesh and Stone and The Angels Take Manhattan than Blink. In Blink it seemed like they were moving slowly on purpose and not really trying to catch the characters, kind of killed the suspense for me.

Both of these possibilities are a big fuck you to Capaldi and his fans.

He was replying to a comment that said "I think we can safely assume that Peter Capaldi does not have Paul McGann locked in his basement."

Paul McGann isn't the Eighth Doctor. He is the actor who plays him. Use your noodle anon. He also said "no comment" when asked if it was a past Doctor, which means Yes.

Well let's be charitable and compare both shows at their best 10 percent.

Star Trek constructs elaborate ethical brainteasers using tired sci-fi tropes.

Doctor who, when it's good, uses premises far more interesting and original than anything star trek ever came up with, but builds emotionally driven stories that stand on their own on the foundations of those premises, rather than the characters just deciding who is correct and then technobabbling at the problem. Star Trek sometimes makes a good point, but doctor who can do that while also having a substantial story.

Just take the everyday meme answer to best doctor who episode, Don't Blink.

Don't Blink had an interesting premise and the villain was aesthetically pleasing.

Don't Blink had a well structured plot

They fully explored so many interesting off-shoot ideas from the main premise.

Don't blink was constantly focused on the characters and their experience.

And this is crucial, it had themes that emerged organically from the story. The idea that the angels feeded off the lost potential of your future led to a natural exploration on the idea of potential in life, and the importance of not wasting it. They used people being sent back in time as an opportunity to show a person age 50 years, and show the differences in his perspectives that tie into the theme.

And then it pulled off a slightly clever ending that depended on a deceptively simple manipulation of factors the audience understood fully.

> No transparent Moffat looming over the production.

Come on now.

>>80308837

Now if it was a Star Trek episode:

The angels would be encountered in a sterile cave exploration sequence.

No character would have a strong, personal connection to what they're doing apart from high minded idealism and a sense of danger.

The episode, and this is the crucial difference, would be 100 percent about whether it's ethical to kill the angels for following their instincts. Not a drop of human feeling or vulnerability will come out of all this, it will be an academic question with a danger based time limit

They'd conclude it is wrong.

Defeat the angels by doing something vague and sciency via manipulating the warp drive or some such technology. Worse, they might manage to break the angel's whole stone deal, slow them down with some bullshit 'tachyon disruption' or something, and convince them to stop killing people because turns out they're sapient.

Also there's no way they'd be called 'The Weeping Angels', star trek is never eerie or evocative like that. They'd look like humans with weird foreheads and be called the Terelli or something

>>80308837
I feel like you haven't watched enough Star Trek if that is your summary of it

Particularly the original series

I still prefer Doctor Who, but I like Trek as well

>>80308904
I'm more of a Trekker than I am a Whovian. What's your favourite incarnation of the franchise? Mine are the original movies and DS9.

>>80309008

>>80308837
>>80308885
This also sums up my impression of Star Trek based on watching about half of the first season plus some spare eps here and there. But to be fair, you are comparing a GOAT Who episode to some of Star Trek's worst tendencies. There are plenty of times Who doesn't live up to the standards of Blink.

>>80308961
The Original Series, followed by TNG, then Voyager, then I'll take it or leave it

I mostly know of it because my dad watched it all the time when I was younger, but from what I've seen of the original series in particular, there is more emotion there than you are giving it credit for

Who is obviously much more emotional and Trek is more about moral quandaries and stiff space politics, but that doesn't mean the two can't dive into each other (see Frontier In Space , The Dominators etc)

As a Trekkie who goes to conventions both as a guest and work for security...I beg to fucking differ! I've encountered autistic fans a plenty.

I've had to get cops to arrest fans for threatening to kill the stars because he didn't get a personalized autograph...you won't believe the amount of autism there is....

Is this a Sherlock reference? I don't watch it but apparently it was in Sherlock.

>>80309100
True.

That said I feel like even shit Doctor Who aims to tell a well rounded story based on emotion and human vulnerability no matter how badly it fails. There's a breath of life in almost all of the episodes, even if they're retarded.

Think of 'The Beast Below'. which most people believe to be a 5/10 at best.

It actually pretty much pulls a star trek, the crux of the episode is 'is it right to kill the star whale of keep it in agony for the greater good.'

But in the course of getting there you had:

A pretty cool and memorable look into the weirdness of living on this thing.

A side-brainteaser with resonance with real world political apathy. You get to vote on whether you keep the whale, and everyone does and voluntarily accepts amnesia..

The characters are fucking torn up about the situation. They cry several times, it's raw. It's not 'philosophically speaking we should...' it's 'holy shit, holy shit you shouldn't have to make these decisions.'

The ending is a little dumb but it has thematic impact and plays into a message about trusting in the world to keep turning without perpetuating wrong-doing that you believe your society depends on, because it turns out the whale wants to help and continues doing so. They never said that message, it was never in words like I just put it down, it was something you could read into it, it's organic. Star Trek would have had that be put front and centre.

Mediocre Who does some things better than good star trek, but I have to imagine star trek, when mediocre, manages it's signature moves better than relatively good Who episodes.

Thing is, I can't see how they could conceivably know something that hasn't even been filmed yet.

Unless they're in contact with people *very close* to the production, which is doubtful. If those people exist they should be fired too.

True, but I don't really want to join again. It's bureaucratic, no fun allowed dot com, and annoyingly autistic.

/who/'s pretty autistic too, but it's mischievously autistic, which is fun.

So no idea who it could be. A villain from the 4th Doctor era? There was a pyramid in the trailer. Sutekh? But how does that tie into the cybermen?

It's probably a past Doctor.

>I'm more of a Trekker than I am a Whovian. What's your favourite incarnation of the franchise? Mine are the original movies and DS9.
I agree. But what's great about DS9 is that it breaks the limits of Star Trek.

TOS is great for 2 seasons, but I think that even if it hadn't fallen apart, it would have gone downhill anyway. Ultimately, the show is just about showcasing a utopian vision of the future, and the more perfect it gets, the less story there is. That's why TNG isn't as good as TOS. (Also because Picard-Riker-try-various-characters-to-fill-the-role isn't Kirk-Spock-McCoy…)

As for the TOS movies—you can have one exceptional "not business as usual in utopia" story pop up every few years without ruining the premise, in a way that you can't do every week.

But DS9 is not about utopia. By the end, Cisco has collaborated with torturers, hidden fugitives from the legal system, tricked the Romulans into joining a war under false pretenses, let Section 31 get away multiple times… Some of that turned out to be necessary, but that still doesn't make it easy to live with, and some of it turned out to be a mistake. That's a real moral quandary, not "figure out the right thing to do, and then do it because good always wins". And he usually deals with his choices as a troubled adult, not an angsty teen.

Roddenberry would never have allowed any of that, and we would have gotten—well, DS9 season 1, which was pretty lame compared to the later seasons, and only would have gotten worse once they used up all the fun fanservice ideas.

>It's the First Doctor as a young man played by a young actor
Moffat has already given us the First Doctor as a boy, and a cameo of the First Doctor right as he stole the TARDIS.

Giving us the First Doctor again somewhere between the two doesn't seem that outlanding.

>>80311462

Sam Jones stayed with Sarah Jane at the end of Interference.

Sky Smith stayed with Sarah Jane at the end of Sky Smith.

And what else did Ten give Sarah Jane along with K9 in School Reunion?

The three of them are definitely together.

>>80312082
Twelve gradually realizes he hasn't been imagining he has a TV audience this whole time.

In fact, he's actually being watched by One, Ian, Barbara, and Vicki, who've been using the Time-Space Visualiser they nicked from the Space Museum to watch all of NuWho.

>Ian: Now hold on, how many times did you go back to Coal Hill? I'm sure I saw my name on the wall as part of the staff at least twice. And you never went to visit me?
>Doctor: Chatterton, my boy, for once you're right. My future selves are all gits.
>Ian: Surely we can do something about that.
>Barbara: But you remember what he always he. You can't change history, not one line.
>Doctor: No, my dear, no, this isn't hysterics—history. And it isn't something we've experienced either. It's just something we saw on television.
>Vicki: So we can change it? That sounds like fun!

Then Twelve teams up with Eight to try to escape from the universe so he can survive when One prevents all the Time Wars so none of NuWho ever happens.

>>80312314
kek

>>80312166
The Doctor would never think to ask though surely. He'd just assume it was Earth.

It's not gonna happen though. We've already heard Bill say "Which way's Earth?" in one of the trailers.

>>80312327
>We've already heard Bill say "Which way's Earth?" in one of the trailers.

And meanwhile, Capaldi can go straight to Big Finish, since the universe he escaped into is the Benny universe.

Someone asks Nick Briggs "Does this mean Dead Romance is now canon in your New Adventures?" He replies, "Canon? Hahahahahaha. Hahahahahaha." Having finally snapped, he stops laughing long enough to write a multi-Doctor episode where Capaldi teams up with the Toothbrush Doctor from Party Animals and Rowan Atkinson to rescue their niece Barbara from the Trods. Big Finish Platinum Age begins.
