As I age time feels... Well, less relevant? 7 years ago feels like a year to me compared to how long that length felt 7 years ago.
It gives me a better appreciation for how the doctor can forget so much of his own past, including seemingly important things.

Do you think the Face of Boe remembers anything about Torchwood or Rose or even Martha?

He always only mentions the Doctor

>>81119998
That could be the Doctor downplaying things. He often hides how hard he takes things.

>>81120053
Probably.

>>81120174
After 500ish years... I'd say its a realistic thing to say. I feel like the doctor would put things out of his mind, like we all do
>The story contains a rare reference to the Doctor's family. When Victoria doubts he can remember his family because of "being so ancient", the Doctor says that he can when he really wants to and "the rest of the time they sleep in my mind" because he has "so much else to think about, to remember". The Doctor also mentions here that he is about 450 years old.
I mean, do you have any pets that died 15-20 years ago? I mean, not to draw on the companions as "strays" shit, but when you're that young in particular a dog or a cat or whatever can be like a best friend.

>move on

>>81120263
Yup. Same with ex's and all things like that. It's not even that your emotions necassirly lessen for them, it's just that life goes on, you care about other things, your sphere grows, and what might have once filled 50% of your heart might now fill only 1%, even if it never changed size. The heart just got bigger and more stuff went in it. I don't know if that makes sense.

>>81120263
Yes, that makes sense. But I don't think he forgets them. He doesn't think about them often, but he remembers them all.

Except for Kamelion.

I agree, but why make it into a news-piece? Oh yeah, because being on the LGBTBBQ spectrum is a moral virtue now. It's good though, there'll be no Doctor/Companion romance

>>81123483
It's real.

>>81123446
I know why. If they leave it until the actual episode airing to let people find out, the first episode will basically be engulfed in the faffing over her sexuality. Dropping it two weeks early allows that to run its course beforehand.

>tfw will never be shagged by Paul 'Shagger' Cornell

I read his new book 'Chalk' recently. It was quite good. Basically it's about a boy in the 80s who has something very bad done to him by bullies (it involves a knife and a private area) and as a result a sinister occult power starts taking over his life and going on a grotesque quest of revenge. There are occasional references to Davison-era Doctor Who.

>>81125149

>>81125678
It's weird how Big Finish never did anything with this. Not a single audio about bisexual Ace. They even changed Love & War so Jan was definitely a guy.

>>81125709
He's Paul Cornell. As his twitter name suggests.

The Doctor keeps a photo of Susan on his desk.

>>81125674
Too bad they were talking over that bit

>>81125678
Just imagine, if they hadn't put them in those furry masks this would have basically looked like Ace/Benny erotica.

>>81123214

>>81125785
GOAT

>>81125785
This adds weight to the First Doctor basement rumour.

Also, Capaldi said he wanted to do 2 stories:
>Mondasian Cybermen
>Seeing Susan again

We've got the first...

>>81125738
Was Jan's gender ambiguous in the book? Love & War is one of the few VNAs I've read and I feel like I'd remember something like that

>>81122336
I'm so glad I stopped watching a while back.
Doctor Who is just a shadow of it's former self nowadays.

>Bill Potts's sexuality will be revealed pretty much straightaway in her second line of dialogue when the show returns to BBC One on 15 April.

>>81125857
Nah, you just grew up

>>81125785
Link to this clip?

>>81125929
Maybe. It's been a while since I read the book. Still, has BF ever done anything with Ace's sexuality?

>>81125941
Maybe.

>>81125994
Not that I've ever heard. BF delving into sexuality in any way is pretty rare.

>>81126014
People have been saying this shit even before it was cancelled the first time. And that's fine, means a whole new generation can steadily outgrow it and piss about it's quality later in life. Moffat was the same way actually.

>>81126336
So it's just a normal cycle?

>>81125881
Reveal in dialogue, yeah. I mean, writing her flirting with a girl at some point would not get as much brownie points from people who just tuned in.

>>81122532
I didn't deny Bill could be gay, I just demanded proof and said you were talking out of your ass and making things up. Guess what? I was right.

>>81126366
There was a comic strip about it in DWM twenty years ago called "The Fangs of TIme"

>>81125524
We really have no way of knowing one way or the other, but it still just doesn't feel right to me. It'd be one thing if Hartnell was actually gay, but this "tribute" is not only attaching him, but his wife as well. We have no way of knowing whether this is something they would've supported, so it would've been better to pay tribute some other way.

>>81126424
>you were talking out of your ass and making things up Guess what? I was right.

But Bill is literally gay and has a girlfriend.

No but I don't see any evidence that they did. At any rate, I assume they could get away with paying an amateur fan less than an actual professional, especially since just getting to work on the show and getting the exposure would probably lead to them accepting a lower fee out of fear of them losing the gig and lack of experience in negotiations such as these

Explain this in-universe

Do all Doctor Who fans reach a point where they 'grow out of it'.

I mean, there's been times in my life when I stopped watching it for awhile, but I've always ended up drawn back in eventually, then catching up.

>>81127749
Susan was a student during the 1960s. That photo is from the school.

>>81122796
>I appreciate the 'openly' in that headline. You just know one or two of those classic companions secretly batted for the other team.
No, there are no gay characters in classic Who, only bisexuals. For example:
>Susan: No. She loved David almost as much as she loved Ping-Cho.
>Ian: No. He may have happily shared a bed with The Perfect Warrior, but it was Barbara he always wanted to come home to.
>Vicki: Most transvestites are not gay. Besides, the same episode where she looks at Lady Joanna's chest in wonder and blushes when Joanna compliments her, she also stares straight at King Richard's codpiece for a good 15 seconds.
>Steven: Come on, he's from the future, and you know what Nine said about future humans. The only reason he showed more interest in Ian than anyone else after seeing his first humans in years was that, if you don't care about sex or species, Ian is objectively the hottest.
>Jamie: He, Victoria, and Two were an out trio. And when Victoria left, he and the Doctor didn't carry on alone, they slotted in Zoe.
>Ace: Sure, Karra and Gwendoline, but Glitz and Julian.

(Well, unless you count UNIT. Harry only works on sailors, and all the other gay jokes the writers snuck in.)

>>81125785
*Sigh* more fanwank.

Some of us were lucky enough for the show to turn into the VNAs right around the time we were getting edgy and dark and embarrassed about liking kid stuff, and by the time the show was back on we were well past that phase.

The rest, I don't know how you guys get through it, but I'm glad some of you manage it.

It's not like nu who hasn't has gay characters in it before that no one gave a shit about. They're literally making the biggest deal out of nothing. And the amount of people saying "HETROSEXUALS BTFO" is insane. These people can't have actually watched any of the show if they think this is in any way worth making such a fuss about.

Yeah, my parent's school photos from early 60s were black and white.

I like having a lesbian companion, but lesbians are really easy mode compared to male homosexuality.

Can someone explain what actually happened to Matt Whelan and whether or not /who/ was involved?

>>81127660
>So how's that not making a big deal of it going?
Getting one article on a fan site that will probably be forgotten in two weeks when there's actual stuff to talk about because the show's back on? We won't know for two weeks, but so far it looks pretty good.

Of course the usual Tumblr twats and /pol/tards are going nuts about it, but they go nuts about everything and will have something new to obsess over in another day or two, and nobody cares about either group anyway.

>>81127712

I lost interest at some point during series 6 too, but was drawn back in by the 50th anniversary hype. So caught up for 50th.

Also, overall I've preferred the writing for s8/ 9 than than s6/ 7 so have continued watching.

>tfw capaldi will never play bagpipes on the show
>tfw capaldi will never sing on the show

REEEEEEEEEEEEE

So what does Gareth "You'd be mutilated in a third world country" Roberts think?

>>81127990
/who/ edited a pic of Capaldi visiting AAiSaT filming and meeting David Bradley to look like a blurry new set photo.

The intention was to post it on #dwsr to drive GirlyLetters crazy.

It didn't get picked up by #dwsr or GirlyLetters, but, unexpectedly, Matt Whelan posted it on Gallifrey Base as evidence that David Bradley would be appearing as the First Doctor in S10.

GB regulars called it a fake and told him to go away.

He then said he'd just found the photo on Twitter and had never said he thought it was real, he was just posting it because it was interesting.

And then, without even waiting for more replies, he started insulting people, and speculating that "rogue Twitter users" were trying to set him up.

A few people from /who/ tried to stir the pot, mostly by suggesting maybe it was Planet Mondas rather than rogue Twitter users. But by this point, Matt was in full meltdown mode anyway. He ragequit GB and then came back 15 minutes later to insult everyone again, and then he got banned.

Meanwhile, he got his account temporarily suspended on Twitter, no one knows why, but they restored it pretty quickly, and he switched it to private so rogue Twitter users can't affect him anymore.

>>81128114
Are you asking what Gareth "even the straight male characters in my books are physically attracted to the Doctor's strong, virile shoulders and the villain's full, sensual lips" Roberts thinks about a gay character?

>>81127964
>I like having a lesbian companion, but lesbians are really easy mode compared to male homosexuality.

Maybe because a common male fantasy is watching 2 women making out together?

>>81127355

There was one book about Space Badgers, one of them had a stupid name.

I SWEAR MOFFAT

WHY DID HE NOT WRITE A MANLY GAY GUY AND HIS RECKLESS WITTY SISTER WHO ARE SEEING 12 AS A FATHERLY FIGURE?

JUST WHY

>>81128207
I think so. I think there were some gay guys, also I think the Doom Coalition original companion Helen is a dyke, but I might be mistaken.

>>81128266

Gay men aren't as progressive as gay women.

>>81128266
Because a manly gay guy isn't a black lesbian, and they need to score progressive-points

>>81128321
What about manly black gays?

>>81128266
This would actually be pretty good

>gay guy portrayed as manly for a change, not a huge faggot
>reckless sister in the vein of Series 9 Clara, just in it for the adventure
>12 as some sort of surrogate dad for the both of them
>brotherly dynamic, nice change from the usual couple

Actually I want that now.

>>81128299
>Gay men aren't as progressive as gay women.
Do you have an infographic or flowchart handy explaining the hierarchy of progressiveness? Legitimately curious and sheltered.

>>81128353

Gay men have fallen down the social justice pecking order recently.

>>81128390
Gay men are still men which means they're still several lungs up the privelige ladder

>>81128353
Gay men appropriate black female culture. This NOT acceptable in Doctor Who which is a very inclusive show.

>>81128207
One of the Companion Chronicles' audio-original companions was gay. Couldn't tell you anything else about the audio ranges.

The VNAs had some, notably I seem to remember RTD's entry to the line featured some gay sex acts

>>81128266
Thanks for reminding me that you got BTFO.

>>81128452
So it goes in reverse:
Gay men
Lesbian women
Transgendered? Is one er kind more progressive than the other? MTF, or FTM?

Bill is gay.

And it's not a big deal.

So let's put out a press release about the fact Bill is gay, and thus make a big deal out of it.

Comics and BF mostly followed JNT's "no hanky-panky in the TARDIS" rule, but the novels started off with a 13-year-old hooker and a rapist king, so after that, they were free to explore whatever they wanted.

The idea that in all humans are pansexual and doesn't worry about labels in the future wasn't invented by Moffat, it came from the NAs, about future companions Chris and Roz. But in Damaged Goods, the VNA by Russell T. Davies, Chris Cwej seems to come out of the closet as not pansexual but gay. Meanwhile, Roz never seems to be attracted to anyone.

Anyway, novel companions:
>Ace: bi but seems to prefer men
>Benny: straight
>Chris: gay or pansexual
>Roz: pansexual or asexual
>Sam: wishes she were gay, but Paul McGann is too pretty
>Fitz: straight
>Compassion: not clear
>Anji: straight
>Trix: bi

The writing has been no better or worse for Capaldi than for other actors in the role. Every series (even in Classic Who) has had at least 2 bad episodes.

However, it's a fact that the majority of our society prefers a youthful look. Why deny it?

>>81128390

Off the top of my head, because gay men are 'men' they've been declared less oppressed than others.

The progressive stack:
1. Race
2. Heteronormativity
3. Gender
4. Sexuality
5. Ability
6. Class

So we can see a dirt poor white man is less oppressed than a millionaire black woman.

https://thescreen.me/2016/03/09/the-one-way-street-of-oppression/

Then just make the brother and sister black. Problem sorted.

Nah. Actress talking about her latest role says her character is gay but it's no big deal.

Thank you, appreciate it. There's just more questions. I'm more confused. I'm sorry I asked.

>>81128491
The gay sex acts weren't the big deal in Damaged Goods so much as Cwej fitting in perfectly with 80s British gay culture.

(Also, handsome future men fucking RTD's Marty Stu character is the key to curing AIDS, but I'm sure RTD didn't mean to imply anything by that.)

He went back and ruined her life even more in his eighth incarnation.

>>81129041
Twice.

Although at least the first time he did it, after he abandoned her to fight the Master alone, she ended up kicking the Master's ass and stealing his TARDIS without her grandfather finding out about it, so she was probably off partying with Jenny and Clara somewhere in the future.

Until history somehow changed so that didn't happen, so he could come back for the first time again and ruin her life harder this time.

>>81129391
this. it's happening.

>>81129424
Capaldi wanted a Mondas cyberman story and for his Doctor to go back to Susan.

I'm guessing the xmas special will start with the "one day I shall come back" scene, then 1's TARDIS will dematerialise and collide with 12's or something, and 12 will go back to see Susan

>>81128737
Fair enough anon.

I liked Deep Breath (but I like the Paternoster gang: they're comfy, so maybe I'm a bit biased). Also particularly liked Clara in Deep Breath. She FINALLY became a different character after spending the majority of s7b as an Amy surrogate.

>>81129297
Yes, Fitz is probably the most hetero character in the history of the franchise. He thinks about almost nothing but the curves on $female_companion or $female_guest_character. He likes the ladies, and he likes them thicc.

>>81129482
>Capaldi's final moments are him with his granddaughter

nonononono I'm not ready ;~;

>>81129391
It really doesn't, it's just a fanwanky joke. People often have pictures of their family on their desk.

>>81129680
I feel like Susan is one of those things that's almost off-limits for being just a throwaway joke. It'd be like if the Eleventh Doctor and Amy accidentally landed on Gallifrey for a joke scene. It's too big of a deal for it to be just fanwank

>>81129291
>I just fail to understand why it's [Bill being gay] being hailed as some sort of victory

No-one here on /who/ is claiming it as some sort of victory. Few others in fact.

Altho Whovian Feminism on twitter probably is. Am surprised the fireworks aren't visible from space.

>>81129680
It does, Capaldi's #1 wish was to have his Doctor go back for Susan so it will probably be his final story and ties in to the First Doctor being kept in the basement somehow

>Clara gone and forgotten
>River Song dead
>12 is lonely
>No one left

So who does he turn to in desperation? He breaks the laws of time to see his family again.

In other words, he's compassionate - and Davros said compassion will kill him in the end.

The paradox 12 creates to see his granddaughter for the final time will kill him

>>81129732
It's not going to be a 'joke' but it's not necessarily going to be anything more than a portentous reference to the Doctor's long history either. There have been numerous implicit references to the Doctor having once had a family, been a parent/grandparent, etc. and there's nothing to suggest this won't just be another.

>>81129732

And Clara will phone him as he dies alone in the TARDIS, paralleling the final scene from Deep Breath, finally answering his "am I a good man?" question from Into the Dalek with a "yes", millions of years later. The grumpy old man dies happy.

I wish he hadn't included that throwaway line to establish that the events of the first two books happened in the past. Because there are a lot of cool ideas he could steal more easily if he hadn't.

Not that he can't, say, meet Reg out of sequence, from before the telephone repairman permanently burned out the time machine. It just would be easier to not have mentioned anything about that novel.

>It makes me wonder if Max Landis capeshit flick was any good.
I recently rewatched Chronicle, and it seems somehow dated despite being only 5 years old. It's not even the found-footage aspect, it's that we've had so many other recent depictions of what superheroes would really do to a world without superheroes. Still not bad, but not nearly as much fun as it was at the time.

His Frankenstein sucked, though.

>>81129391
It doesn't. She might appear as herself but that's it.It's probably little more than a nod to the fact the doc still cares and thinks about Susan..

>>81130469
If you actually read the article or listened to the interview (whichever one you're complaining about), they both actually talk about Jack.

(Which makes it obvious that they're making a big deal out of nothing because it's a slow news day, and they know it.)

Yes, Benny married Jason Kane.

More to the point, we learn a lot about Benny's lovelife, and she is definitely straight. She spends her youth falling for men who remind her of her father. After getting over that, it's still all men (and a few non-human males). Cwej even thinks it's odd that someone from an enlightened era only a few centuries ago would be 100% one way or the other like her.
