Yes, yes, well done NuWho. HOWEVER

I can still rewatch Empty Child / Doctor Dances, Blink and maybe Girl in the Fireplace, but I noticed that when you are being grown-up Library two-parter doesn't really work anymore. Last time I found it oddly-paced and just unengaging. Not sure what's wrong with this one, but it fell from 10/10 kino territory to something like 5-6/10

The Doctor is never in danger. At least in the current era.

He is perfect. He never fails. Everyone in the universe adores him. He is literally the president of the Earth. And took over Gallifrey in 15 minutes. He is almighty, wise, smart, handsome (yes I'm talking about Capaldo).
With the current style of writing it's literally impossible to put him in danger. Literally. There's no way he can lose anything.

Time's winged chariot hurrying near, and yonder all before us lie, deserts of vast eternity.
Thy beauty shall no more be found, Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound

My echoing song; then worms shall try
That long preserved virginity, and your quaint honour turn to dust, and into ashes all my lust, the grave's a fine and private place

But none, I think, do there embrace.

"Oh no, we better cancel Doctor Who for not having 10 million in ratings on a tiny island when it makes millions more in the US in commercials, theatre showings and the truck loads of doctor who merchandise that brings in hundreds of millions every year"

They're not going to cancel doctor who when they make more money on it than anything else on british tv. Literally 5 people could watch it and they'll still sit down and make 14 episodes a year as long as 40,000 $30 sonic screwdrivers keep selling

Is Doctor Who even big in America anymore compared to how it was back in the Tenth and Eleventh Doctor eras?

As an Amerilard I remember Doctor Who being all over the damn place around the time of the 50th. Nowadays, the Doctor Who fan club at my uni died and you see a lot less Doctor Who merch around the cancerous "geek" stores

To expand on this ideea that Missy is pretending to be the Doctor and Simm!Master believes it:

Imagine if, when she meets Simm!Master, she goes all “I, the Doctor, am overwhelmed by your amazing plan, Master. How could I ever stop this?? Truly you have bested me, as always, thanks to your superior mind!”.

And the Doctor sees it because of course he has a way to watch and communicate with her. And he keeps telling her to stop embarrassing him in front of her previous self.

Underage Moffags everybody.

So that's everything that you see? Once again, you prove yourself dumb. Slitheen story is a very subtle parody of 80s movies and conspiracy stuff about aliens taken over government. On the one hand, their faces look like basic grays or whatever you imagine when you think of canonical 'alien', but they are also fat and clumsy, which makes good fun out of them. This is really clever design, and it's not cheap at all if we take television budget into account. It is indeed too subtle for you cats, you have to watch something more straightforward, like Missy copying Mary Poppins or something.

>>84044550
The episode really went over your head there.

>>84044725
i'm aware that it's parodying conspiracy theories you dolt. any "subtlety" (there's none) about that is overridden by the obnoxious fart jokes

Why are they using Cybus Cybermen as a future version of the Mondasian Cybermen when the Cybus ones are from a completely different universe and aren't even connected? It's not a future version of them.

REEEE

>>84044934
>i'm aware because it's obvious
And even if it's obvious, you still managed to miss the subtlety of how well it was written into actual cool adventurous story. The greatness of that two parter is provided by how well these caricature slitheen aliens were integrated into a exciting and engaging plot. Not to mention all the great scenes Ninth has in it.

>>84045014
>What a waste.
Not if you watch Sarah Jane Adventures.

>>84045033
Moffat has retconned almost everything that doesn't fit in with his image of the show so this will be of no concern to him.

>>84045014
People were so triggered by the fart jokes that they were never brought back.

IIRC Moffat wanted to have some Raxacoricofallapitorians (and a bunch of other alien races from past seasons) in the Shadow Proclamation but the idea never made it out of the drafting stage.

>>84044934
Haha, I honestly didn't know cats was this stupid.

>>84045059
The stories are better (And thematically work better) but I think weaker than most. (And nobody is bothered that they god covered in alien gore, this bothers me) but they still aren't used in the capacity I described.

>>84045054
next you're gonna say the slitheen's release of gas represents how extremist movements (such as the slitheen's fascistic attempt to take over) allow the middle class to release stress about their life through a convenient scapegoat such as migrants, cletusesm etc.

>>84045101
>IIRC Moffat wanted to have some Raxacoricofallapitorians (and a bunch of other alien races from past seasons) in the Shadow Proclamation but the idea never made it out of the drafting stage.
You're getting mixed up with RTD. RTD's plan for the Shadow Proc in Series 4 was to have it crammed full of monsters and aliens, old and new, but the budget didn't allow for it.

>>84045113
The Gift does use the idea that the Slitheen are wanted by their own people, even if the other Raxicofallapitorians in the episode turn out to be evil anyway.

>>84045129
no, because it wasn't implied. you are just proving yourself more and more dumb because you missed how well parody subtlety and great action-oriented plot merged together in a enjoyable way.

>he didn't think the s4 finale was bloated enough as it was and he obviously had no concept of budgeting. hence why effects and cinematography have gotten better while the budget goes down
Pretty sure he did, which is why a lot of his crazy ideas were scaled down. Come on m8, he's writing Doctor Who - why wouldn't he want a scene whereby a bunch of aliens show up?! He eventually kind of managed it in the alien bar in End of Time, and Moffat did similar in Pandorica Opens.

HELLO DOCTOR /WHO/ GENERAL!

WHO TAKES THE SHOW, TAKES THE THREAD

BUT BAD NEWS EVERYONE.. CAUSE GUESS WHO? HAHA!

Now, you're all in here fighting and flailing, and, you know, that's fine, that's fine, but what you've got to do for me now is be quiet because I need to TALK TO ALL OF YOU!

Listen to me, please. Let me walk you through this. Answer me this: whose era was more fun? The answer is, mine! And, now, whose era was better-written, had better characters and stories, and wasn't just a string of one-liners and endings that weren't thought out at all?

Come on! Look at my era! No clout, no ethos among the youthful masses, and no budget worth a damn. Oh, and NO DANNY PINK! So, if you're sitting there in front of your computers and phones, and you've got any machinations about the Moffat era being better than mine, then just remember who I am and what I did. Remember every fun, hyped-up series finale. Remember all of the dazzling excitement and high ratings. Remember the well-written one-off characters whom you remember better than some of Moffat's recurring ones. Remember the warmth and glow of good writing, and remember how even at its worst, my era could out-do Moffat's best.

And then do the smart thing. Call yourself an RTDchad.

KILL THE RTDFAGS

>>84044864
Let me explain the difference here between what's subtle and what's not subtle, because you don't seem to have a goddamned hold on it:

>Not subtle: Aliens come into power, use a fake alien invasion to make aliens the bad guys, then reveal themselves at a press conference by farting and electricuting people while laughing, unzipping scooby-doo esque people suits and plan to take over the world on live tv.

>subtle:aliens come to earth and hide as politicians, building legitimate political careers. Over time they craft legislation on terms giving rights to everyone, conveniently avoiding any wording involving the word human. One day aliens in the city launch terrorist attacks, forcing the good aliens in government to reveal themselves. Humanity must then decide if aliens are good or bad based on the work of the few on both sides. On another complex layer, is the fact that the aliens in govt. Avoided human wording mean they are evil and being self serving or does guaranteeing themselves the same rights as basic humans instead of just living cushy lives as humans in disguise mean they are good?

And by the way, subtle parody is an oxymoron you asshat. To parody something means you blow up the underlying characteristics to humorous levels. To subtly do it is impossible.

>>84045150
Holy hell, for some reason I got confused and thought it was Eleven who visited the Shadow Proclamation rather than Ten. I feel majorly Berenstain'd. I think I confused them with the Papal Mainframe.

Anyway, while we're on this subject, did the reveal of the Shadow Proclamation being "space police" feel like retcon to anyone else? I could have accepted the Proclamation being space *law*, but I still can't wrap my head around why an organization would be called a "proclamation".

>>84045273
so you aren't even trying to argue anymore, just memeing.
well, I guess you should watch some more Wedding of River Song. It's characterkino, if I use your favorite term. There are characters, and they talk. Amazing episode.

You know what? It's my friend comic relief? Get it? There's is a term in movie industry meaning a character which brings up most of the comedic elements. And it's Nardole! He's comic relief! And he's called like that in the show itself. It's a meta joke! It's great!

This will fly under the radar but spoiler alert: Christmas will feature a very brief clip from Daleks Invasion Earth 2150AD to represent "The Dalek Invasion of Earth". The team have negotiated the rights to use a clip, probably of the Dalek saucer and something from the mining part of the movie. No Cushing. After the 50th and Moffat wanting to feature the Cushing movie posters, this was the next best thing. Screencap this.
