We all know who will really play the 13th.

The Doctor should regenerate into a woman, but all her lines are dubbed over by Capaldi.

Doctor Who:

It's WRONG to make fun of people for their skin color!!!

Also Doctor Who:

dude orange president lmao

>>83264707
>The Doctor regenerates mid season

if you die in a simulation do you die in real life?
one of life's great questions i guess

Will Chibby make the show fun again? Doctor Who is supposed to be a family show.

>first nigger companion in a while
>shoots the Doctor

The Doctor will regenerate into a 12 year old girl and the timeslot will be moved to 4:30pm.
Meanwhile all the perverts will be jerking off to The Doctor's new timeslot.

hooray

I have no idea what the fuck is happening in the next time preview - is it all another Doctor-y ruse

also Missy

fucking yes

we hype for next week?

oh god is /pol/ here again

>>83265159
Fun is immoral

Jesus guys, it took me like 3 years to get through the First Doctor because of all the missing episodes, and now I'm about to start the Second. What am I in for?

>>83265159
They just need to focus on writing enjoyable self-contained stories that put the politics second to the plot. All the normies I speak to say the same thing. They just want it to be like RTD Who again but without the love stuff.

a lot more missing episodes

>>83265346
this was a Harness story

>>83265344
Matt's favorite Doctor.

>>83265365
It's not just Harness though, Oxygen was 45 minutes of autistic screeching about capitalism

>>83265344
it's up to you whether or not you want to watch the animated version of The Power of The Daleks, Troughton's first story, or the reconstruction

>>83265415
if you let any political references ruin a story in any media format for you, honestly, you should find better things to get salty over

but hey I mean we all have different views on what goes too far so whatever, I'm not your dad

>>83265415
>implying Oxygen wasn't goat and capitalism isn't bad

go directly to gulag

>>83265444
I didn't say that it ruined the story for me, I actually thought it was pretty good, but forcing politics into a family TV show is retarded and you're only going to alienate viewers.

Wait so why did the Monks not use the real president in the simulation? That dead guy clearly wasn't Trump, nor was his skin orange.

References should be able to stand on their own merits without needing to know the source material.
Even something well known.

>>83265508
Also they literally shouldn't be pushing politics considering it's made by the BBC

>>83265529
if people are this butthurt about 'lol orange man' i wished they had used a trump double in the simm just to see the fallout

>I didn't vote for the president; he's orange

I will go to hell before I sit here and watch this country and the world turned over to these savages! I’m done, I’m pissed, and I’m not putting up with it anymore! Let me tell you something, you filthy traitors in the government, you pieces of crap.

You are the most degenerate, twisted, mentally ill people I’ve ever seen, wanting to gang-rape this Republic and this country.

You people are enemies, and we’re going to get your asses, and we know what you’re up to, and we’re coming for you!

The Doctor gets Bill to shoot him. He pretends to become evil throughout the episode to get this to happen. He figures out that Bill's care for the Doctor allowed the consent to happen, and if she proves that care is lost then the consent is broken.

The Doctor then starts regenerating as seen in the trailer.

>>83265637
I would be mildly ok with this.

>>83265444
I'll probably do the animated

I wasn't butthurt, I was just asking why the Monks wouldn't use Trump as the president in the simulation. And what do you mean, in the Simm? You mean you wanted them to portray Donald Trump as the president rather than President Winters? ..In 2007? A decade ago?

>>83265986
you seriously want a "get out of jail free" card this quickly

this is why they got rid of the Sonic Screwdriver in the 80s

>>83266092
You're not looking at it from the right angle. If they were gonna put him in jail, they should've locked him up in Fort Knox, not in fucking Mayberry General with Deputy Fife dangling the keys a foot away from the bars. If a solution is viable and obvious, then the situation that it could resolve shouldn't be presented.

I dunno if there's something relevant to this topic in that video; if there is, just say it.

>>83266077
>Their retinas are so sophisticated that they can almost think on their own. In addition to rods and cones their eyes are equipped with octagons, gives them amazing night vision and the ability to see, and recall, an amazing amount of detail in something over 100 yards away. They can shift their vision outside the normal visual spectrum allowing them to see a total of 170 different levels of the electromagnetic specturm, including in some shades of ultraviolet. However, having their second heart removed prevents them from reprogramming how their eyes work. There's a lot of evidence that their eye color can change depending on mood. Their pupil response is very different from humans and can resist super intense photo-emissions that would permanenlty blind a human. They can control the musculature of their eyes to bring things into a very precise focus. (If they remember to check) they can tell whether a humanoid is Gallifrey just by looking at them. Despite all this, blindness is not unknown on Gallifrey.

This is probably jumping on from the TV movie where the retina scan is used as a security feature. Why? Because it's sophisticated and difficult to break. Probably difficult to replace too.

Although if you take the half human shit to be true (which isn't really, but Moffat liked to tease that with the Hybrid statement) there's only a very unique combo of antigens he probably doesn't react to and moreover he can probably fix it with a regen but it might just be a waste of energy. Should you, shouldn't you.

on a different note, have they run out of actors to use this series and are now resorting to Big Finish voice actors

>>83266228
there isn't I was just posting it

Jamie looks a lot different than I thought he would

>>83266092
It's not about a "get out of jail free card." It's just that even if the time lords didn't have a cure for blindness, the doctor has come across aliens/future humans who have had medical tech advanced enough to cure it. It's just retarded.

>>83266279
that probably would've happened had Oxygen, Extremis and this episode not been linked to each other

>>83266239
I actually didn't even actively register that he was playing the guitar. I guess it's just been naturally ingrained as being a part of the 12th Doctor. Beautiful.

>tfw they didn't give him a rock cover theme for his entire run

>I consent.

I don't understand what consent means any more.

..Shit. You think that was some liberal date rape allegory? Like "even if a girl says yes it's still rape," like some next-level safe-space shit?

>>83266365
it wouldn't have made sense in Series 8 because he was still Serious Icy Twelve, but if they added in the elements in the whole of Series 9 onwards rather than just one episode, I would've had no problems with it

still trying to learn it on my own guitar desu

>>83266409

the other guys consented because they had a secret strategy - also not true consent
Bill consented by her own choice to help the Doctor - true consent

She needed to be short enough so she couldn't see the Doctor in the locked room. If she was taller he could have used some reflective surface to show her the numbers on the lock, but as a midget she couldn't see in there.

Overall, I think 1st Doctor stories are better, but the 2nd Doctor is pretty awesome, as is his dynamic with Jamie (Zoe's pretty cool too), so I might actually enjoy the 2nd Doctor's run more (despite too many monster-of-the-week stories). The 2nd Doctor has the most missing episodes though, so expect a hard slog if you had trouble making it through the 1st Doctor because of that.

Why did the sonic screwdriver suddenly not work on unlocking doors? Did I miss something on that?

>>83266707
deadlock seal I think

>>83266628
Thanks but I was imagining something far slower and softer. The original is slow anyway but bring it right down and have nothing but those plucks of the string. To me that would be absolutely perfect.

>>83266511
We've known he's been leaving for awhile now, but listening to this it just kind of started to sink in for me. Fucking feels, man. I don't want him to go.

>>83265365
>pic related
why

>It's a shitty rip off of The Other Doctor
Reminder that comics

>>83266707
You mean the one the Doctor couldn't open? He explained that the screwdriver could calculate the code, but the lock itself would have to be manually pushed into place — it was made up of four dials, which couldn't be shifted into place unless the user knew into what position he wanted them to be in. And, if the Doctor knew that, he wouldn't even need the sonic.

>>83267167
Right, and when I was typing that comment I was thinking of Frobisher when I wrote "Doc," but, of course, Frobisher can change his height and indeed his entire form, so he isn't crippled by what he is.

>>83267133

>treating GMOs as some magical shit that has the potential to destroy all life on earth by making it melt in a couple second
>treating the doomsday clock like it's an actual thing with credibility and not a politically driven metaphor literally designed for the sole purpose of scaring people

Harness really outdid himself this time. It's not KTM bad but it's definitely the worst of the series. The doctor getting caught out for being blind was a nice moment if you can overlook the fact that the sonic sunnies should really have been able to stream video in some way (didn't they literally do that once in S9?)

>>83266608
Get a stool.

>>83266818
He can decrypt and upload each government's classified documents to the internet by placing his hands on a monitor, yet he couldn't open a door. He doesn't even have real blindness, he can see other plot devices no problem. And I don't think he's even once walked in to a wall.

>>83267230
Yes
If hand Doctor came up from just a hand then this must be possible too
Also speaking of regeneration why the fuck the tenth doctor died drowned in turn left I mean it's just water man why would that stop regeneration?

The next episode is also going to be a simulation, that's how they're going to explain bill shooting the doctor and him regenerating while still staying as capaldi

>>83267304
I don't get why they even added the magic upload shit in? Just fucking say some shit about logging into the military network to search for the labs, why did they need to be on google?

>>83267383
So the doctor could say "google it"

>>83267119
>pseudoscience
Are you expecting realism?
Because that's dumb.

Why was the doctor still standing outside when the bomb went off? He was literally staring into the explosion flames coming right to him

I can't believe THIS week was actually finally the kino we were waiting for

That was pretty GOAT, started slow but got better and better as it went on. Only silly bit was the Doctor jumping immediately to Bacteria but I can forgive it because he could've just used his process of elimination to end up at the answer even with more possibly things it could be.

GREAT ending. Blindness actually fucking mattered to the story. Bill fucked it all up GG Bill, I love a good proper consequence in a Moffat story. Damn that was good. Felt some real suspense throughout.

I'm about to go back and read the old threads myself, but please tell me anyways what has /who/s reaction been like?

Pretty excited for next week's to see how they unfuck this, but I'm cautious cause it looks like it could be either great or really weak.

It was a good concept and had the potential to be GOAT. But it ended up being average because of a bunch of shit that could have completely avoided with a few tweaks.

>>83268837
The plot was contrived and all of the non-tardis characters were boring as fuck, the doctor getting caught up with his blindness would have been a redeeming moment were it not nullified by the fact that the doctor's fucking used his sonic sunglasses to stream video footage before and he could have gotten bill to guide him and had no issues

I genuinely don't understand what you saw in this episode to consider it GOAT

>>83268864
Literally nobody cares about a trivial "lol orange" quip

>>83268911
I thought them choosing to go with "lol orange" over "he raycist" was amazing, didn't know they had it in them.

The doctor spent the entire episode saying "fuck the monks don't fall for their shit"
and now suddenly the next episode has the doctor working for the monks, a plot that is not set up in this episode at all
what the fuck are they doing and why did moff think three different people writing three parts of an episode was a good idea?

I'm really not sure how I feel about The Pyramid at the End of the World, or where to rank it. I felt bored during most of it, even more so than Knock Knock. A lot of it felt goofy too, and not in a good way. But on the other hand, the ideas it was going for were more interesting and more ambitious than a lot of other S10 episodes.

Here's my ranking now, maybe:

Extremis
Thin Ice
Oxygen
Smile
The Pyramid at the End of the World
Knock Knock
The Pilot

Part of me feels like it should be two places higher because of its ambition, and another part of me feels like it should be two places lower because of its execution. At least next episode looks good.

>>83269339
After you've seen that, watch Listen then Heaven Sent

>>83269361
I thought it was a massive step up from Extremis. I felt bored throughout Extremis.

File: sick_nardole.webm (1MB, 640x360px) Image search: [Google]

1MB, 640x360px

I don't get something, even if Nardole got sick from the bacteria why would the TARDIS have any trouble dematerializing? As much as I like to see the TARDIS struggling this made no sense to me.

>>83269361
I feel the same, but personally I lean towards the "two places lower because execution" side
There are far too many little contrived bits to handwave away.

>>83269361
No way The Pilot deserves to be last or Thin Ice deserves to be that high

>>83269339
>>83269387
Don't watch Listen. It's shit

>>83269418
you're shit for having such a pleb opinion

>>83269410
You have a point about The Pilot, but personally I rank it there out of principle because to me it doesn't really feel like a proper episode. It's a flashy opener without a plot. I'd rather rewatch it over Knock Knock but I still rank it last, if that makes sense.

You're dead wrong about Thin Ice though.

>>83269397
That's interesting how opposite our boredom is.

>>83269339
You're going to have fun Anon, it's comfy. cheers

>>83269387
Yes do this also

>>83269339
Ignore >>83269418

Watch Day of the Doctor, then Deep Breath, and watch all of Series 8.

splink episode when

>>83269387
I'll never understand how somebody can recommend watching Heaven Sent without at least recommending they watch Face the Raven first.

Ignore everybody and just watch all the episodes in the correct order.

>>83269555
Heaven Sent tells you everything you need to know about Raven, especially for people who don't care about clala

>>83269555
Exactly. Heaven Sent's impact is because of Clara's relationship to 12.

>>83269580
You say that but I highly doubt you saw Heaven Sent before you saw Face the Raven. Anybody who hadn't would be spending too much time distracted by "mysteries" like how did the Doctor get here, and what happened to Clara, rather than being able to focus on the episode's actual mysteries.

Besides, Face the Raven is a solid episode so there's no conceivable reason to skip it. You're just making their viewing experience worse.

>>83267230

No, he'd be incinerated before he could even think about triggering a regeneration.

I don't want to go.

How does the Doctor putting his hands in some monitors upload secret documents?

>>83269339
Yeah, watch all of Series 8, after Day of the Doctor.

Each ep of Series 8 has a connection to the emotional arc of Clara and 12's relationship. If you watch them in order, you realize that even the relatively standalone eps show some facet of the relationship, that climaxes in the final scene of Death In Heaven. Skipping around can make you lose that.

>>83267230
It was unclear how big the explosion was really. I thought they were going to run back to the TARDIS but they just stood there. And it looked like the door was wide-open and fire flooded into the room they were standing in? So he probably would've survived long enough to regenerate.

I was actually expecting him to tell Bill about regeneration, that he won't really die, to try to convince her not to consent to the Monks but for Bill to dismiss him as lying to her just so she'd let him die.

>>83269769
He was touching his wearable magic wand at the same time.

How can the Monk's clocks sense when their plan failed and start counting backwards? This is more like magic than science.

Oh look, the cletus is reeing.

chances are moff got his name on it because he had to rewrite it so many times. This episode was shit enough, I dread to think what it was before it got edited

Yeah, no offense, but how was this not obvious? The Monks kept harping on about needing permission, so it's not like they are helping Earth out of the goodness of their hearts. Nor are they likely limited by some Prime Directive. They probably wanted our spirits broken or something before they were ready to take over.

Every alien in the universe invades Earth and only the Doctor can help so it's only a matter of time before the monks get their asses kicked. The Doctor could just do nothing.

Maybe it's because it's still a simulation!

But probably not, it's just bad writing.

>>83267798
There's plenty of reality-warpers on Doctor Who.

>>83273822

Literally impossible. That's like dividing by zero

>>83264707
If Emma was the Dr I'd watch every episode twice, and then another five times.

Why is nobody talking about how incredibly contrived the doctor magically coming up with and locking onto the idea that it was a biochemical threat was? There was absolutely no proof that he was on the right track, but even before he turned all the security cameras off the doctor was acting like it was definitely the correct thing.
It's quite literally the worst instance of "coming up with the correct answer because the plot required it" I've ever seen. There was no path of logic to coming up with the conclusion, it was literally just "hey what about biochemical" "oh yeah that's the one"

Was harness behind schedule or something? That combined with the magical eye fix was incredibly lazy writing

No, there is nothing wrong with the monks being able to fix the Doctor's eyes, don't try to slip that shit in at the end of an otherwise reasonable post.

The doctor in all his infinite knowledge wasn't able to fix his eyes, but the monks could do it straight away, remotely, from over 100 miles away. And the doctor didn't even feel anything, only noticed it after it happened. You cannot tell me that is not lazy writing.

When the last two episodes have gone out of their way to show how hard restoring the doctor's eyesight is, and then it's finally restored by literally less than a handwave, yes that is the work of a hack fraud

>>83274093
They are all still inside a simulation. A simulation inside another simulation.

>>83274251
This. Except this time it's the Doctor's work. IRL the Monks will see the planet is protected, get scared of the Doctor and fuck offerino.

>>83274237
It's the climax of the episode and comes at the cost of the whole Earth, that's the opposite of a handwave.

>>83274309
The opposite of a handwave would be if the monks actually had to do something to restore the doctor's eyesight. Consequences are an entirely separate thing to the means themselves.

Yes.

Although it was a Gatiss episode so basically non-canon

>>83274687
Are all ear stories seriously that boring and lacking in character drama?

>>83274687
Explain.

>>83274787
All talk, no action, also literally describing the scenery that they see

>>83273338
I don't think I can really judge episodes in terms of, like, "not that good", or "pretty good", or "whatever/10".
Doctor Who is (and will always be) Doctor Who-tier, with all typical Doctor Who-tier flaws.
Unless a story is outstandingly great (like "Blink" or "Heaven Sent") or really shitty - it's okay and enjoyable.
"Pyramid" was okay and enjoyable.

So, what was this all about?
