He's not overstepping his bounds, he has a job to do (even tho we're not quite sure what that "job" is yet

The VR was too 'realistic', explained in the episode

>>83097636
At least Oxygen was an actual story with an actual plot, despite the poorly shoe-horned ending line. Extremis was a poor excuse for build-up to the next episode.

>>83097704
It was OOC, since Nardole is notoriously cowardly in all ways except for his job to discipline the Doctor.

Also, yes, being able to send emails to effectively another universe with his sonic sunglasses is space magic. Let's not pretend anyone writes the sonic devices with any degree of internal consistency. Remember "doesn't do deadlocks or wood"?

Because there was so much unnecessary padding that it felt disjointed and rushed.

Bullshit. You can't send emails to another universe.

>I think you must have missed the bit when they all ran away terrified

Because the fact they ran away totally explains who the hell they were or why they were there or how they got the Doctor to be there at all

Is it just me or Cappaldi ended up lacking something? Quality is consistent and all but the episodes just feel mechanic and unmemorable mostly.

Kind of like the last 6 episodes of the Ponds.
Not really many memorable characters or moments on his run, no objective...

Only good thing about it seems to be Missy and even her is not as good as the previous Master.

Is it just me or have anyone else noticed this?

Time Lord technology isn't this get out of jail free card that you seem to think it is. As with all plot devices, Time Lord technology is advanced, but it has to be explained first. Otherwise you get a situation like this, which is effectively a deus ex machina.

I agree with this. The whole pope thing was unnecessary and it was pretty much only used to make that gay joke about "not bringing the pope to her room".

CERN was not only wasted but shows the simulation was shit. On which world would scientists consider any "truth" from the church to have any scientific value and would settle with just the shadow test to blow themselves up?

I mean it was fun but it makes no sense... none of it.

>>83098200
I agree, matey. I see that these episodes are ok, like safe bets for a Doctor Who episodes, but they are so unenergetic and so unmemorable it hurts.
>>
>>83098844
Definitely agree. A bizarre story and it feels childishly written at best.

Steven Moffat loves to shoehorn awkward situations for the sake of some truly biting comedy, doesn't he?
>>
>>83098200
I believe that this is because Steven Moffat didn't realize how to write the Doctor due to his role as Malcolm Tucker in his other show.

Season 8 was primarily "haha look at the grumpy old man", and it took a while before Peter's acting even had a chance to inform Moffat's writing.
>>
>>83098891
For me it's dissapointing that in Moff's era side characters exist only for the gags and throaway jokes. Like, blue guy from Oxygen is there literally just to deliver racism joke. Joke is good, but character itself is nothing.

We've had characters that are obviously made as comic reliefs before, but they had their own goals and life too. Like Craig. Like Charles Dickens. Like Cat people from Gridlock.

I think the quality is great but the tone is very inconsistent. His 3 seasons feel like 3 seasons of completely different shows each.
>>
>>83098200
I'm enjoying this series, but there's not been any big 'wow' moments for me yet.

Looking back at series 9, I remember the internet going wild after Capaldi's guitar entrance in TMA (yeah some hated it but many loved it). Same after the Zygon 2 parter. Then, after Heaven Sent all the rave reviews etc. Nothing has quite hit these heights in series 11 imho, well not yet anyway.
>>
>>83098942
>Season 8 was primarily "haha look at the grumpy old man",
But the Doctor was always a grumpy old man
>>
>>83098866
bs. capaldi has some of the most creative nuwho episodes.
>>
>>83099214
It's totally subjective, but I'm talking not really about the concepts or ideas, but rather about moments and scenes. So far series 10 is really bland.
>>
>>83099202
And so is Garfield. A simple description of their core character traits does not make any allusion to the quality of writing.

Also, I wouldn't consider Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Paul McGann, David Tennant or Matt Smith to be "grumpy old men".

>it's "doctor is so well known and so fearsome that enemies shit themselves and run away when he says one word episode AGAIN"
How do people defend this? It was cool in Eleventh Hour, it was fantastic in Pandorica, and it is fantastic twice, because we later learn that it didn't really work this time.

But Moffat keeps writing this exact scene over and over.
>>
>>83099422
It honestly wouldn't even be so egregious if he at least added some flavour to it or reserved it for significant events. This was barely even an event. It was a random side-species which was largely ineffectual because we have no fucking clue who these random people are or any indication as to how "powerful" they might be.

Two stories.

According to one of the books, it was because it was too peaceful/boring.

According to another book, it was because the Master assassinated an important guy and had to run away.
>>
>>83099724
If it's any consolation, I'm probably the oldest /who/re.

Doctor Who, in my opinion, should always be fun and entertaining, even if it seems a bit silly sometimes. I never take it too seriously, just enjoy it when it's on TV.

That said, some of my favourite stories have been the 'darker' ones.

I think it's better when it's not used for significant events. That just feels more cheap, like in Forest of the Dead where it's obvious Moffat has wrote himself into a corner that he couldn't get out of without just having the Vashta Nerada give up.

RTD did better side characters. Moffat is a better sci-fi writer but RTD is better at real-life.

The shadow test would be really fucking unnerving if it actually worked. Imagine the Berenstain Bears feeling times a million. I don't know if confirming you're in a simulation would be enough to convince everyone to blow themselves up, but that test would definitely be enough to convince people they're in a simulation.

Yeah, he's too far up his own arse sometimes and instead of writing something solid he feels the need to be too clever, although Hell Bent and Blink are examples of him being clever but also accessible. I also can't be bothered with his companions, I like Bill because she is normal when compared to the "oh so fucking special" Amy and Clara.

When Moffat gets it right he can write brilliant telly, I still personally think that The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances are the best episodes of the revived series. I think people are split on The Day of the Doctor but I thought it was as good as 50th anniversary as we were ever going to get, went from an 8/10 to a 9.5 when Tom Baker appeared as well.

I didn't like some elements of Thin Ice such as the doctor knocking a guy out for expressing opinions true to his time but terrible to the shows modern fan base but I did enjoy Bills questioning the doctor, it seems the sort of opinion a companion would express after more episodes but it made her seem more thoughtful and intelligent then any of the shows modern companions and definitely cemented my opinion of her as an interesting companion and one of my favourite characters currently along with Narole.

The only thing unrealistic (besides the specifics of the test being silly, but that's basically just technobabble, which is always silly) is the idea that CERN would be the first people to kill themselves. In reality, they'd be nearly the last people to kill themselves.

There's a group of people who work on the same piece of open source software as me, and 80% of them are high-energy physicists or related types, including people at CERN. If something like that happened in real life, they'd all be excited af.

If you can find ways to exploit the RNG, you can probably learn the physics model of our universe more directly. And most likely, you'll be able to find ways to exploit the model itself and do the same kinds of cheats you do in video games.

Who wouldn't want that? Every computational physicist would be working 20 hours/day trying to hack the universe.

Eventually it might get boring and ruin life, the same way cheat codes can eventually make a game boring. But nobody would get to that point until they'd had fun doing all the crazy shit they could think of.

That just means literal TV, as in people sitting around the room watching a screen carrying live broadcasting, is dying.

People are watching more video as ever. And, while some of it is short-form amateur "look how silly my cat is" crap, there's probably still more people watching shows made as TV shows than ever before.

There's certainly more prestige for working on TV—that's why they can get movie stars and stage stars to be on even smallish TV shows, and big-time directors creating TV shows, which never happened in the 90s.

We're in the golden age of TV as far as creativity and popularity. The only problem is that nobody knows how to track it properly, much less how to monetise it using that information. It's sad that May and Trump are destroying public broadcasting, which could have helped us get over that gap, but as long as there are investors stupid enough to treat TV production like the software industry—which, for some reason, there are—we'll make it.

I've been reading various things Shearman posted to people's blogs over the last 6 years or so.

One of the reasons he hasn't written for Doctor Who again is that he has no idea how to write for TV, and doesn't think anyone else will have the kind of fanatic devotion to rewrites that RTD had to make one of his scripts workable.

But what if you partnered him with someone who has the skill and experience, even if they don't have as much raw talent as Shearman, who could mentor him on televisual stuff as well as helping him reorganise his ideas to work for a 45-minute TV episode?

Would, say, a Shearman & Gatiss script be a good idea?

(This isn't a question about what's "realistic". There are other reasons he doesn't think he'd be right for the TV show, and I can't imagine Chibnall wanting to take a risk like that anyway. Just a question about whether it would work if it did happen.)
>>

>inb4 postponed due to recent events

>>83109689
I'm not sure who worked harder. But RTD was definitely overworked his entire time except maybe the specials year, and Moffat was definitely overworked for at least S5-7.

From the stories, it sounds like they spent time on different things. Moffat spent a lot of evenings worrying about production stuff he should have gotten done during the day but he was too busy writing, while RTD spent his evenings rewriting scripts he'd already rewritten because he wasn't happy with his rewrites. I'm not sure which is more work.

Also, it sounds like RTD never really let go of anything unless he could be tricked into it. If Ford and Chibnall hadn't figured out how to (and been willing to) do all his work for SJA and TW without letting him realise they were doing his work without credit, he probably would have been doing everything for all three shows at once.
>>
>>83109689
Moffat claims to have done many re-writes on Doctor Who scrips, which is why he started to actually take credit on more scrips in series 9. I think he implied that he should have been given such credits on earlier series' as well, due to the depth of the re-writes he had to do.

I don't want to speculate on who did more work, but my impression is that Moffat did a LOT - if RTD had to do more, then God help him

I really think having a separate head writer and producer would help the show.

There was never anyone who could authoritatively say, "Russell, the script we did at the readthrough was more than good enough, it doesn't need a third rewrite, at least not when you still haven't even done the first draft for episode 11 and we need to start doing breakdowns on it." It all happened inside his own head.

Also, the fact that he had the inclination and the energy to put in 18-hour days when necessary is actually a problem in the long run. Nobody else would think "It'll be fine if I force RTD to stay up all weekend", but RTD himself did think that. And that means he started planning for the fact that he can always do that if necessary, and that meant it ended up necessary far too much of the time.

Also, there's just a much larger pool of talent. Finding someone who's a fantastic writer, editor, and story planner, and also a fantastic production planner and manager and marketing genius, there's only a handful of people who can do both, but a lot more people who can do one half but not the other.

Agreed. It's pretty hard to cram TV or movie acting into whatever holes you find in your schedule, but cramming Big Finish in is easy.

Meanwhile, I wonder if he's still considering semi-retiring from acting to do more directing, as he was talking about before Doctor Who? I love the idea of a bunch of weird little movies like Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life and Cricklewood Greats.
>>
>>83108306
Same. The episodes since Mysterio have all been unmemorable. Capaldi's the only thing keeping me watching.
>>
>>83110283
You mean revert back to the Producer/Script Editor role of the classic series? Maybe. It depends if compromise is a good thing - if RTD -hadn't- re-written a script three times, would it have been better, worse, or complete and utter unfilmable drivel? It's hard to know.

Too many cooks may spoil the broth, but of course being overworked isn't great for creativity either.
>>
>>83110690
Basically, but I'd use the title "head writer", and give them more authority than a script editor had, more like the European model than the old BBC model. In particular, the head writer would have full authority on who they commissioned to write the scripts, and they'd have a lot more input into casting the leads.

Anyway, keep in mind that if RTD hadn't been doing a 60-hour-a-week job producing the show and managing its PR on top of writing, he presumably could have easily written that third draft for each script without having to work straight through the weekend while behind schedule on two other scripts.

And, while it's not impossible that the insane stress is part of why RTD's best scripts were so good, I don't think that's true (look at his other shows, where he didn't work like that), and it's certainly not true for Moffat (unless you think S7b is the crowning achievement of NuWho).

Honestly, in RTD's case, he was so good at both jobs that I'm not sure which one you'd want to put him on (or who he'd work best with in the other slot). But going forward, we're just not going to find another RTD or Moffat every 5 years. If we can find someone who can produce like them, and someone else who can write like them, I think the show will be more sustainable.
>>
>>83111189
RTD essentially created the "showrunner" role for Who, and they need to realise that it's too much for one man to physically and mentally handle. Maybe they could consider joint co-showrunners, at the least. Or let Chibnall have a more balanced writers room, so he can focus more on producing whilst the writers are all working together.

>>
>>83111479
With co-showrunners, the problem is finding two people who go together properly. When that works, it's usually two old friends (like the guys who do South Park, or Game of Thrones—or, for that matter, Sherlock), or even a husband-and-wife or two-brothers team. Then they can work out how to divide up the responsibilities between them so they both do what they're best at, without their egos getting in the way.

I don't think, at least in the short term, a writers room would actually help. Running a writers room is almost a full time job in itself, and if it's full of people who've never been in one before, when you yourself have never been in one either, I can't imagine it being less work. Obviously he could hire a lead to work underneath himself (and alongside the script editor) running the room, but who's he going to find with the experience to do that? It's basically the same problem as hiring a head writer, except you don't have as much prestige to offer, and you need them to have American experience as well as British.

>RTD essentially created the "showrunner" role for Who
Yes, he took a model that's used very successfully for shows that do 6-10 episodes most year, and tried to use it for 14 episodes every year, and then just put in so much work that he forced it to come together even though it should have been impossible. That set a bad precedent that's going to be hard to break away from.

But then Doctor Who has always had problems like that. For example, every time they produce an episode that looks amazing on a shit budget, or get someone like Capaldi to work for peanuts, that makes it harder to argue that they need a real budget. But then if they don't pull it off, it's even worse.

A lot of greatness has come from double acts - Lennon/McCartney, Grant/Naylor, Mitchell/Webb. Doug Naylor in particular talks about how when there's two of you, you know that what you're writing is actually good/funny, and you're not just sitting in a dark room by yourself laughing at your own jokes or wanking over your own cleverness.

But then there's the idea that compromises always disappoint both parties, and the idea of whether its better to go with bold, try-hard vision or with practicality and what you know works

I had a VERY weird dream about Extremis today.
In my dream Doctor and I (literally it was me) were in some eastern europe city without TARDIS, and we came closer to some random shop, and there were three versions of Simm master (end of time with dyed hair, same version in some kind of white clothes and last of time lords simm)
We freaked out and dashed into the shop but there were a lot of zombies with books in their hands with unreadable title
We were running around from them, but more people came in, and when just regular customers tried to read the title they were converted into the same people with a copy of book growing out of them like gas mask in empty child
We realised its impossible to leave because suddenly there were like 100-150 of them
But we managed to fight a moment and we escaped through window

Even though Lennon's solo work, Naylor's solo Red Dwarf, and Mitchell's being snarky on panel shows are all great, it's hard to argue that the Beatles, early Red Dwarf, and The Mitchell and Webb Situation/Sound/Look would have been better if they didn't have to compromise.

The key in all those cases is that the partners had been working together in a larger group (a skiffle band, the Spitting Image writing team, Footlights) and decided that they could make better stuff together than separately, and then figured out what they wanted to do, so they already knew how to work together without feeling like they were stepping on each others' toes.

From Wikipedia:

>Some ancient myths depict a character skipping forward in time. In Hindu mythology, the Mahabharata mentions the story of King Raivata Kakudmi, who travels to heaven to meet the creator Brahma and is surprised to learn when he returns to Earth that many ages have passed.[2]

The Buddhist Pāli Canon mentions the relativity of time. The Payasi Sutta tells of one of the Buddha's chief disciples, Kumara Kassapa, who explains to the skeptic Payasi that, "In the Heaven of the Thirty Three Devas, time passes at a different pace, and people live much longer. "In the period of our century; one hundred years, only a single day; twenty four hours would have passed for them."[3]

The Japanese tale of "Urashima Tarō",[4] first described in the Nihongi (720)[5] tells of a young fisherman named Urashima Taro who visits an undersea palace. After three days, he returns home to his village and finds himself 300 years in the future, where he has been forgotten, his house is in ruins, and his family has died.

Early science-fiction stories feature characters who sleep for years and awaken in a changed society. Among them L'An 2440, rêve s'il en fût jamais (1770) by Louis-Sébastien Mercier, Rip Van Winkle (1819) by Washington Irving, Looking Backward (1888) by Edward Bellamy, and When the Sleeper Awakes (1899) by H.G. Wells. Prolonged sleep, like the more familiar time machine, is used as a means of time travel in these stories.[6]

There was a period of almost six months where I was looking for a job and living off of my savings from my old job, and eventually living off of money from my parents when that ran out. I only went to school two days a week because I scheduled all my classes on those days; other than that I had five full days off every week and it was the most amazing shit ever. I literally just sat around playing shit tons of vidya, watching movies and Who while comfy in my bed five fucking days a week.

>>83114326
I think the recons should be aiming for photorealism, or at least the sort of functional best approximation they can get.

There's a lot of really cool stuff you could do with nonrepresentational animation and Doctor Who, but you'd want to do it with stories written specifically for animation, not with stories written to be acted by Patrick Troughton on a soundstage. (In the same way that, say, the art style of Voyager was perfect for that comic strip, but would have sucked for illustrating the dialogue and action of Vengeance on Varos.)

Doesn't matter, at least they're doing something.

I don't really get how this is a tough concept, it's something commonly recognized that people have a psychological need for purpose in their lives and being on a 24/7 media binge doesn't provide it.

The telesnap recons already exist. And, except for Galaxy 4, they already went back and redid all the ones that could be done better. So what is there for them to put out?

It's a false purpose though, if you died someone would take your place within a week, you're not really contributing anything

I agree that it's good to have something to do just in terms of your mental health, not being holed up in one room getting burnt out on doing the same things over and over, but don't pretend like you're -really- serving more of a purpose than a guy who sits in his basement writing fan fiction all day, because again, if you didn't do it someone else would

Go to events with people that might be like you (cons, meet-ups, roleplaying game clubs), you'll make friends and it'll give you some will to do things.

Most of what you do in the first two years isn't all that specialised, so it really won't be totally starting over.

When I changed from physics to cognitive science, obviously I had a bit of catchup to do, but it wasn't an insane amount.

It's not about a shit job being an achievement to be proud of, it's just about anon being in a funk because he doesn't do anything all day, and a shit job would be a change from that.

And he's lucky—if he gets burnt out on his shit job, he can always quit and try something else and not worry about losing his apartment or anything, because his parents will take care of him. So there's really no reason not to try whatever he can find.

But that's irrelevant. I'm not talking about some spook like a person's contribution to society, I'm just talking about the need to have goals and shit.

>>83115764
OK, then I guess start over. Better than finishing a degree you don't like and that won't do you any good, or dropping out and being drafted.

If you're worried about "Oh no, I'll be two years behind in my life", two years is nothing, and a lot better to be two years behind in the right career than on-schedule for no career.

What about army recruiting? It's another year spent on disgusting things. And it's unavoidable after dropping out.

Yeah, it's all about how shit works in your brain - no matter how much you enjoy something, eventually your brain gets burnt out on the stimuli and it becomes boring and you desire to do more. If you limit your intake of things you enjoy (doctor who) with other things (a job), you'll enjoy the things you like more, or at least not get burnt out on them as easily.

Although, you could realistically fill your life with other things like music or writing or fuck knows, not necessarily a job. But I guess the sense of """""purpose""""" is important to some people. To each their own x

No. Frazer was obsessed with Deborah Watling. And they didn't fuck either, because he didn't tell her, or anyone else, until years later. (Although when he was a famous soap star and she was a has-been former child actor, maybe he looked her up then?)
>>
>>83115988
But there's a couple seasons of Freewheelers, and her presenting jobs, and the season of Emmerdale where she's reunited with Jamie in the 80s, and a couple of movies, including the one where she has a topless scene and the Ainley Master orders Susan Who to kill her.

I didn't know about EastEnders or that movie, though, that's cool. But I'm more concerned with the character of Zoe than with Wendy, to be perfectly honest, although Wendy is lovely

She was also on Crossroads, when she was younger.

Anyway, Blood on Satan's Claw and at least a bit of Freewheelers are worth watching, the rest of her stuff, not so much. (Unless you're English and living in 1974, in which case, go see her in Seven Keys to Doomsday. Unfortunately, they never recorded it, and the Big Finish version has her daughter playing the part instead.)

If you're interested in the character rather than the Padbury Arse, the recons for her missing episodes are all solid except maybe the Space Pirates one, and the Targets are all pretty good, and she's got a bunch of audios (mostly CCs, but better than nothing), and a few novels, only half of which suck.

And Wendy was great as a different character in the Davros audio.

According to one of Craig Hinton's novels, the run of Crossroads from the year Peri was born (which is the year that Wendy was on) is the last piece of television that survives to the 100th century.

Looking through the list of Pertwee serials, most of them are pretty memorable, but the least memorable have to be Colony In Space and The Mutants, of which I'm struggling to remember much about.
>>
You said you wanted an axe fight

>>83117456
Weird, I have the opposite opinion. I find most Pertwee serials to not be very memorable, but those are some of my favorites. Colony in Space is a Hulke serial with the Master, a mining corporation that pulls a Scooby Doo scheme, colonists/pioneers trying to escape from an environmentally ravaged Earth with a corrupt government that fails to protect people, and spooky alien natives. The Mutants has the Earth empire decolonizing a planet, the natives turning into gross monsters called mutts but it turns out that's just part of a natural, centuries-long cycle as their planet enters a new part of its orbit and this

I forgot The Master was even in Colony In Space. He pretends to be some dude arriving in a rocket, doesn't he? And then The Doctor tries to prove he's not who he says he is, and there's some bland jumpsuits and some running. The only part of The Mutants I remember is they go into a cave and there are mutants.

They were the only two which I genuinely couldn't describe the story of
