So is the fact that the first doctor didn't know who the daleks were a conflict with the stuff that Moffat's trying to do?
>>84227017
Yes it's very good
>>84227017
I liked it, literally my only hangup with it was the voice of the police. I bet it'd get you in the mood for tomorrow's episode tbch
>>84226990
I know Zheng sounded different since he was the leader and the Central Committee also sounded closer to the Tomb Cybermen.
I guess the police had less of a robot filter since they were only partially cyberfied.
>>84227017
Really good.
It was streamed on casualwho earlier today.

Here is a cover for Spare Parts showing the police.

Oh shit, wait what is that comic from? I didn't know there was a comic for Spare Parts
>>84227172
That's it. That is the gosh darn straw that broke the frankly patient camel's back. You choose to come in here, a place where we have poured hours of our lives into watching, analysing, and theorising about one of the, if not THE greatest science fiction fantasy drama world history has ever known. Were it not for the relatively small size of our island nation and its population, Doctor Who would be a world phenomenon that would astound the viewing masses with its intelligence and brilliance. I don't exaggerate when I say it's probable that, were the show to be aired in China it would bring the nation to its knees. And yet, in spite of all that, you choose to come in here, in the midst of our dialogue, and spout your HATEFUL, INCORRECT AND SLANDEROUS WORDS LIKE IT'S NO BIG DEAL! Well guess what mist: it IS a big deal. Bigger than you'll ever know. I can't begin to describe how furious I am at your comments; I was prepared to let them slide the first few times, but this has gone on far too long. You're going to know punishment like you've never known before. I know who you are buddy; my uncle is a high-ranking moderator on this site, and my dad has connections with the police. We're coming for you, and it ain't gonna be pretty. I'll set upon you with instruments you'll wish you'd never see again. Know what a sonic screwdriver is? You'll wish you didn't by the time I'm finished with you. You just sealed your own grave; the only thing you can do for yourself now is run. Run, and pray to whatever Gods are out there that I'll extend some mercy upon you. This is it kid. The worst ordeal of your life, and it begins now.

>Implying The Edge of Destruction is good.
I dislike Clara and I always disliked her, she never really grew on me.
I'm annoyed be her existance. I'm really annoyed that she drew a fucking lot of attention making it feels like a soap opera about Clara. I hate how she's behaving bossy and irritating even though nobody did anything wrong to her.
>>84228446
Is Nardole based? I only saw him in the crappy super hero Christmas special and didnt get much of an impression besides how ugly the man is
>>84228462
I thought it was good watching in order because it's the first time the tardis is explored and it's only 2 parts
>>84228462
But that's correct
>>84227089
If you mean the Hybrid legend, no. The Doctor could have left Gallifrey only knowing The Hybrid was composed of "two warrior races", not specifically which two.
Also it's left deliberately ambiguous whether or not The Doctor really left Gallifrey out of fear or if he was lying
>>84228408
You can tell they originally wrote the series with Ian as the protagonist and the Doctor as the obstinate and sometimes cowardly trickster.
It's kind of bizarre to watch the Doctor bully Chatterton so much when you have his current characterization in mind.
>>84228585
One of the best things about the first two seasons is seeing the doctor develop and get used to people and aimless travel
>>84228462
>reveals that the TARDIS is sentient which is extremely important to the modern series
>bizarre geometry and architecture of the TARDIS is explored for the first time
>Susan's breakdown reveals that she, despite usually being a friend to Ian and Barbara, is just as inscrutable and alien as her grandfather and not always trustworthy
>primal terror at what could really happen when time travel goes wrong, stuck with two aliens who don't really know what they're doing and can be dangerous under pressure
>Hartnell's GOAT speech about the formation of the universe
Edge of Destruction is every bit as meta and deconstructive as the most meta episode of NuWho. It's incredible that it was only the third serial of the series.
Its akill em all, briggs! and the doctor's life goes to shit and he starts to lose faith in there being good in the universe and depressing as shit because everything you cared about in this series has endedepisode.

Guys, can we talk about how season 7 was a perfect season of Docto Who? Literally not a single story of the season was bad. Literally what went right?!? Why was kino of this quality not available for a whole season for Troughton?
>>84230026
> Why was kino of this quality not available for a whole season for Troughton?
Because half of his episodes are missing
Do we know anything about Based Simm's appearance in the finale? Like what his plan is or what role he plays in the plot?
I stopped watching after Capaldi's firt season. Season finale was a disappointment and cringy as fuck. Female The master was terrible. Has it gotten any better? Or should I just wait for Russel T. Davies?
>>84230107
Tbh m8 it might be for the best. Based on the audiosnaps they were probably shit.
>>84230186
Series 9 is widely considered the GOAT season
>>84230186
I recommend you to kill yourself
>>84230186
Season 9 was pretty GOAT, anon. Everything was a 2 part story and most of those were bretty gud. One episode in that season will make you believe somewhere Moff still has some magic in him.
>>84230265
This.
>>84230186
Watch Season 9. It's still full of Moffucking but its highs make its lows worth it, and Heaven Sent is fucking excellent.
At least watch the first four and the last two episodes. That's where the good stuff is. Watch 7 and 8 if you're bored: they're not great by any means but they combine goofy Doctor Who shit with hillariously hamfisted attempts at social commentary.
>>84230215
>>84230265
This is incorrect
In face series 9 was one of the lowest points of the entire show
And zygon episodes were actually amazingly terrible
>>84230186
Series 9 is about the same in terms of quality but the finale is fun fanwake
>>84230350

Fuck off Boardies

So I'm guessing 10 is a return to badness since it's being avoided.
>>84230350
>season 9 was terrible
>>84230430
Its... Not amazing. Its not as bad as series 2, but I'm hoping simm and GOAT cybermen can raise the season average
Who is by far the worst Doctor?
>>84230433
Most stories were really terribly paced and zygon episodes are just terrible
Sleep no more didn't work but it tried
Opening two-parter falls apart when you try thinking about it
Ashildr / Maisie episodes are stupid and I doubt that someone can defend Mire healing pack or lion king
>>84230492
None of them are bad
>>84230492
Doctor What

>hating the return to skaro or capaldi riding a tank
>hating creepy ghost fuckers chanting silently episode
I'll give you GoT knockoff and zygons were a bit eh, though episode one of the zygons and episode 2 of ashildr was bretty gud.
Sleep no more is shite, but its the only episode id outright call shite, so whatever.
Face the raven and hell bent are great to kino though
And heaven sent is a comfy mess
>>84230601
Because they had to keep paying off troughton's concubines by hiring them as show companions.

>>84230817
Sorry friend but I'm afraid not
I hope 13 doesn't end up useless for half the episode like 10 and 12 were during their post regeneration stories.
>>84228276
Weirdly enough, Hartnell who and Troughton who was the most watchable for me. Maybe the black and white just makes the corny sci-fi that extra comfy and charming.
Fucking can't stand Pertwee's who, it should have that comfy 70's Kamen Rider feeling but it fails to get my interest, maybe it's because the Third Doctor is a massive cunt. Baker's is prolly the best classic era, it takes all that's wrong with Pertwee's and does it better. Davidson's puts me to sleep. Colin's is carried solely by him. McCoy's is again, solely carried by him and Sophie, and even then it's still shit.
>>84230914
>12 were
He wasn't useless
>>84230914
I hated their regeneration episodes.
I was hoping Capaldi would jump into the role of The Doctor , instead he runs around Victorian London in his night gown.
Not to mention Smith came back in a phone call.
>>84230914
Actually thats a deliberate technique to establish that our audience surrogates are out of their depth and understand how they learn to trust the new doctor. Happens a lot more than 10 and 12.
3(The Brig)
4(for a small time with sarah jane)
5(nyssa and adric. Tegan? Eh.)
6 isn't useless, but he sulks for an episode
7 i forget. The episode sucked.
>>84231010
Have you ever tried Pertwee's later stories? Carnival of Monsters, Day of the Daleks and sea Devils are nice grandpa pertwee
>>84230844
But if the only good Six stories are ear tales that hardly anyone listens to, isn't that wasted potential?
>>84228704

>>84231422

The ratings flop because of the time slot and lack of advertising m8. The quality of writing had nothing to do with it

"Oooh. I wonder if theres any more Nazi stories we can just autoreplace with the word daleks?"

>tfw anons don't know about Grant Markham
>>84231767>>84231724
Mostly agree.
Move doomsday down a tier because it was a shitty story for the cybermen as cannon fodder for the daleks, and nightmare in silver up one because smith really acted the fuck out of the cyber doctor and made them feel like two characters.
>>84231755
Do you really think that anyone on /tv/ is going to read a fucking tumblr post?
Especially when we bash on it all the time but it gets a pass now because you and the writer have the same opinion

>>84231853
>asks to move doomsday lower in the cybermen stories list because it's shit cyberman story
>asks to move nightmare in silver up in the cybermen stories list because 11th doctor is good in it
???
>>84231672
There are plenty of good episodes that can still be written. The problem is that they aren't scary anymore. They need one story to reestablish them as an actual threat, and then only use them sparingly for a good long while unless they have a good idea; instead of making them jokes or punching bags in their contractually obligated cameos. The Doctor and companion could come across the aftermath of a massacre they caused, or get pulled away at the last second from an approaching fleet. They need menace. They need to kill a companion.
>>84231767
>Fucking Next Doctor above Nightmare in Silver
>Army of Ghosts/Doomsday above anything besides Revenge
>>84231955
Do you even watch the show?
>>84231899
Theres a difference. Doomsday was shitty to the cybermen. Nightmare smith portrayed a cyberman inhabiting a time lord brain. In essence, despite the shitty makeup he was portraying a cyberman who just happened to be on the level of a time lord, not for being the eleventh doctor.
The line here is that at the very least smith being a cyberman infected time lord is much more interesting than being slaughtered

Why is it that aging him 900 years made him into Gollum, but when the 11th stayed on Trenzalore for 900 or so years, he just looked old?
>>84232345
Because 11th obviously had an opportunity to eat and sleep properly
While 10th was pretty much just dehydrated just as like he spent 900 years doing nothing
when you take water out of an organism it becomes smaller in size because water is pretty much 90% of the human or timelord

>>84232612
The more I look at Capaldi, the more it looks like this arms are crossed behind his back.
>>84231010
Pertwee is comfy though. The whole UNIT era is comfy. Season 7 is one of the best of the entire series and even beyond that you have based Holmes and Hulke.Also, a better comparison would be Showa Sentai as opposed to Showa Rider.
>>84231767
Mostly correct, just bump up Tomb and lower Doomsday and Death in Heaven and it becomes a passable list.

I know NuWho generally has more of an edge to it, especially the Moffat years, and I don't want to come across a prude but, I watched The Beast Below the other day and..
>I'm the fooking Queen, biiiiiyaaaatch! su-su-su-su-su-su-SUCK IT!
was this really appropriate for a show like Doctor Who?
Is there a download link for Loose Cannon's B&W reconstruction of Marco Polo? I've heard it's a lot better than the color one they made.
>There are worlds out there where the cross is burning, where the Mexican is asleep and the rabbis dream; niggers blowing smoke and wogs smoking bongs. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else the Muslim is getting bold. Come on, Ace, we've got work to do.
Jesus, Cartmel. I thought you were a leftist.
>>84235938
Matt's Doctor run is the most weird so that's okay.
>>84236036
>that one VNA Cartmel wrote where he reveals that "Ace" was actually short for "White Race"
>rewatching a good man goes to war
Why did Moffat think this was okay?
>>84235938
That is Moffats least fav of his
>>84235947
Nevermind, found a video upload that the BBC didn't get their claws into.

>>84236171
Don't waste your time, it's been found and the DVD will be out in the next couple of years.
>>84236161
It's an extended clusterfuck that also somehow manages to not have enough going on.

>Marco Polo is found
>because Reign of Terror has animated episodes, they can release a collector's DVD set of all of season 1
I need more pictures of Bill Hartnell being adorable!! Especially, if they're behind the scenes type photos like this one.
>>84234763
Paul McGann, you stupid bitch.
>>84236282
I'd buy that
>>84233488MY FRIENDS
>>84236314
I just watched Eater Of Light and I think it is amazing how diverse and open-minded the Roman Army was. They had blacks and gays and so acceptable towards strange women appearing out of nowhere! I love it
>>84236314
Theres that wondeful footage that Carol took of behind the scenes. I can't remember where I saw it but it had Hartnell smiling and looking happy. The footage was shit because there was another video playing on top of it. A link would be good.
>>84236491
you hated it didnt you

>you will never live in the timeline where the Omnirumour was true
>you will never live in the timeline where the above happened and Shada was finished
>you will never live in the timeline where all the above happened and Moffat didn't fuck up the Weeping Angels
>>84236320
paul mcgann incredibly ugly. objective fact.
>>84236576
If you don't find based McGann to be pretty, who DO you find attractive?
>>84236576
Like I said, stupid bitch.
>>84236491
Bill just trotting off on her own into a practical warzone, or at best a wooded area full of wild animals, even after arguing she absolutely knew more about the time period from reading a book than a thousand year old time traveler who actually experienced it pretty much ruined the episode from the get go for me. She truly deserved to have her heart carved out by the Picts for such stupidity.
>>84236772
Minus the coming out scene, it felt like an episode written for Clara.
>>84236604
i said ALL the doctors are ugly. i do not find any one of them attractive.
>>84236661
like i said, incredibly ugly, objective fact.
>>84236812
how so?
>>84236201
Wait is this for real? Marco Polo is one of my favorite stories, and I'd be mildly disappointed if it wasn't real.
>>84236812
For all her faults Clara was never an idiot. Bill has been dumb as rocks post Oxygen. I suspect she may have sustained brain damage from the traumatic events of that episode.
>>84236838
I didn't mean specifically the Doctors though, I just mean in general, who do you consider to be handsome?
>>84236869
It's real, trust me. It went up on the BBC Store for a few minutes, but it was removed. I don't think it was ready yet.
Why hasn't the new Doctor leaked?!
>>84236990
I thought BBC store closed?
>>84236990
that was like a year ago though
i wanna know the story behind that
>>84237010
It works fine for me?
https://shop.bbc.com/?___store=en_us
>>84236201
>>84236990
Fuck, don't try and bamboozle me like this anon. My heart can't take it. I know it's the most likely to be found if any, but every year people say the same things.
>>84237010
>>84237031
Yeah it was like 2013.
>>84237052
Google image search proved that it's just a mockup from a guy's deviantart. It's fake, anon.
Speaking of missing episodes, what stories do you think would have a better reputation if they existed?
I'm a major proponent of The Savages. The themes are pretty ahead of their time for the show at that period, it's probably the best Dodo ever gets, and it has based Steven one last time.
>>84237171
Very unpopular opinion, but I didn't enjoy Power of the Daleks anywhere near as much as Evil or most Patrick Troughton stories...
And I enjoy recons
>>84237171
Probably Space Pirates, since the recon doesn't have any telesnaps so you're just stuck with what amounts to a shitty audio story.
Why is the BBC so fucking poor now?
>Capaldi era is cut down to 12 episodes per season instead of 13
>no minisodes
>less merchandising
>less advertising
>>84236994
dont worry, im sure the bbc are working on it
>>84237231
Poor ratings?
>>84237240
all of that started before the decline
>>84237171
Now on the other hand, which episodes work much better when you close your eyes and pretend they're Big Finish audios instead?
I'm going with Snakedance, because it means you don't have the gaudy sets or Martin Jarvis's shitty outfit, and focus on the dialogue instead.
>>84237240
>>84237257
yeah all that started around late 2013/early 2014
when was the last time any of you saw doctor who figures/toys in an actual store
>>84237231
I haven't really noticed any less merchandising. All of the nerd stores I see still have Doctor Who funkos and action figures.
>>84237291
A few days ago.

>>84237171
The Faceless Ones maybe? It is a Hulke story, but it's mostly just known as that one where Ben and Polly leave. Season 4 was the most fucked by the junkings, so any new findings would be better than the black hole it is right now.
>>84237269
Underworld. The story's actually not that bad. I'd rather not watch people run around a blue tarp for 4 episodes, though.
>>84237291
2007, well in my country anyway. They only imported the Cyberman, radio control daleks, Toby and that alien from love and monsters. oh and the flight control dalek and the elevator from satan pit
>>84236491
You're right there's no evidence of people of African descent living in Rome and absolutely no evidence of rampant buttsex
>>84237291
Last month, but to be fair, it was a used book store.
>>84237291
Never. They don't stock them at my local Wal-mart.

So what happened to the BBC around 2014 that made them go full JUST?
Has anybody ever thought about making a recon of a New Who episode? By taking low-quality screencaps, make them black and white, then record the audio with a scratched up microphone, and put it all together?
>>84237404
I have thought about doing that to a surviving 60's story. But a modern one would be far more interesting. SOMEONE DO IT
>>84237404
The closest we got was the Camargo leaks.
Who else gonna rewatch world enough/doctor falls in black and white?

That doctorwho guy on GB claimed that BBC Worldwide was opposed to casting Capaldi because they didn't find him marketable so they gave up without an attempt. They were also supposedly pissed at Moffat for blocking a Doctor Who movie from happening.
How come Rory wasn't in eaters of lights?
>>84236882
Clara was just a mary sue
>>84237491
Yeah, I remember when the guys who made the Harry Potter movies said they were being brought in to make a Doctor Who film, and Moffat was furious at the thought.
>>84237513
mary sues don't have faults
>>84237491
i thought it was because the conservatives in parliament hate public broadcasting and cut their funding
but this sounds juicier
>>84237543
clara's only faults were her pancakes
>>84237491
But casting Capaldi is the only thing they did right.
>>84237483
What's with the mic handjobs
>>84237491
A Who movie is still a shit idea though.
>>84237540
Why was he furious? Isn't it the prefect opportunity for advertising?
>>84237611
It would have been separate from the show kinda like the Cushing movies. Moffat wanted the brand to be centered round the show and the current Doctor.
Night /who/ is so comfy.
>>84237571
you must have skipped dark water

>Moffat for blocking a Doctor Who movie

>Thin Ice
>Forcing in a modern political agenda if only for a brief moment
I dont recall seing niggers all over the place every time the Doctor went to London in the past.
I wouldnt even have questioned it if they hadnt brought it up, because you're pretty used to seeing black people as extras in British television.
>tfw the Monk 3-sharter ruined the sonic sunnies for me
I used to think they were fun but now I have flashbacks to the retarded blind Doctor arc when I see them
>>84237843

But that's one of Capaldi's best moments.

At least wait til the bump limit, christ.

Few Who stories go very much against what has been done before, but recently this has changed. First, there was "Genesis of The Daleks," then "Revenge," "Morbius," and now "Deadly Assassin," or rather "Deadly Continuity." But first let us look at the programme as someone who hardly ever watches. The costumes and sets are quite effectvie, but a little too Flash Gordon. It has a good cast and was well acted. The story was fair but did not hold together too well.
Now let's look at the story as Doctor Who viewers. The following is not only my view, but that of many people (including people who aren't avid fans). First, congratulations to Dudley Simpson for using Organ Music for the Time Lords, but thumbs down for not using his excellent Master theme. Then there's the more than usually daft title. Have you ever heard of an assassin that isn't deadly?
On to the 'story'. Before we even started we heard the same boring cliche: 'the Time Lords face their most dangerous crisis'. I suppose Omega was a minor nuisance! The next blunder was the guards. Why were there any? The Time Lords were supposed to be very powerful, so much so that anyone strong enough to invade would swat the guards with ease, and Time Lord technology should be able to deal with minor intrusions. Then came the TARDIS. Before, it was MK 1 and the Master's and Monk's were very different marks of type 40 TT capsule, but why only one missing? As for such and advanced race being unable to find someone in 52 (sometimes 53) storey building. Ridiculous! I've always thought Time Lords names were secret and unpronounceable, so why do we suddenly know their names? 'C.I.A' was certainly not for humour and this wasn't it. Particularly Runcible whose demise I was certainly not sad about. the story really showed up the infatuation for Earth people in Doctor Who. It could have been set on Earth and no one would have known the difference.
>>84238992
Doesn't R. Holmes realize that Time Lords are aliens and do not need to conform to human motivations whatsoever? This fact was well brought out in 'War Games', but ignored here.
Elgin said that premonition does not exist. Yet the Doctor had them in 'Time Monster', 'Frontier In Space', 'Evil of The Daleks' and 'War Machines'. I was surprised by the Doctor saying that Time Lord machinery was 'prehistoric'. Mr Holmes seems to have forgotten that the whole Time Lord way of life is to 'observe and gather knowledge'. So apart from the fact that they are supposed to be one of the most advanced civilisations (brought out so well in 'War Games' and 'Genesis') they could have easily copied more advanced races. For instance in 'The Three Doctors' the Time Lords were amazed that there was
a force more powerful than themselves. They were pretty powerful pre- 'Deadly Assassin'.
In 'Deadly Assassin' the Time Lords seem to have forgotten the Doctor yet we've always been led to believe it's very rare for a Time Lord to leave Gallifrey. So he should be rememembered, particularly as in 'Three Doctors' he saved Gallifrey ( and the universe of course!) from destruction, and Borusa said they needed heroes. The trial of the Doctor was another R. Holmes farce. The 'War Games' trial was so excellent, but of course this had to be in Earth norms, and was pathetic. Then later the Doctor and co. go to look at the public register system to see that really happened at the ceremony.
episodes that nobody even remembers
>>84239010
Now we were, I believe, dealing with Time Lords, so why couldn't they and look at a time scanner and see the truth? Also, why need the brain machine to predict the future? Another fact forgotten is that Time Lords are immortal. In 'War Games' the Doctor said they could 'live forever barring accidents'. This had never been changed until ' Morbius' where we learnt that the Time Lords used the Elixir if they had trouble regenerating. So why didn't the Master use the Elixir? We also saw in 'Morbius' eleven
incarnations of the Doctor ('though in 'Three Doctors' Hartnell was rightly the first) so now we're left with one more Doctor, according to 'Deadly Assassin'.
Then there wasn't Part 3 which must be the biggest waste of time ever in 'Doctor Who'. A ten-minute trip into the matrix would have sufficed, but 25!
One minute Eligin was saying there's no way to tap the machine, the next he was taking the Doctor down the othe 'old part of the city' which looked just like all the other parts. When Goth was discovered we heard the daft reason for him helping the Master, for an exchange of knowledge. Again ignorance of the Time Lord way of life is shown by R. Holmes. Goth should have been quite able to go to the extensive library & sit at a Time Scanner for a few decadeds or so, & find out everything himself. He could even have folowed the Master's travels on the scanners! Borusa recognised the Doctor, but since the Doctor & the Master were at school together wouldn't Borusa remember the Master? Also what's this rubbish about the Doctor being expelled? We know he has a Time Lord degree in 'Cosmic Science' (and that was revealed in R. Holmes story!)
I was stunned to discover that the Doctor doesn't know his own people's history! The Time Lords would have their own history completely documented. After all, they can look back at time, so what's all this nosense about myths? And surely somebody would have wondered what that lump & two holes in the Panopticon floor were.
>>84239041
Of course, part 4 saw the return of the same old story. It couldn't just be Gallifrey in danger, it had to be a hundred other planets in danger.
You'd have thought that not much else could be wrong with the story, but there was more to come. Time Lord power sources are well knownto be novae etc., as Omega produced, not some silly black box with tubes. I would also like to know how the Doctor managed to climb up a 100' shaft with smooth side and with plastic ricks falling on him. Aslo, even if the Master was protected by the sash when everything was to be swallowed up, what point would there be to floating around in space - not
much! Things get even more ridiculous when the Master falls down the deep hole (his yell lasted a long time) and he's back very soon, regenerating (due to absorbing energy). If all he needed was energy why didn't he use his TARDIS, like anybody else, to regenerate?
>>84239071
For some of these blunders you could argue that the story was set far into the futur eat a time when the Time Lord race is degenerating. but it can't be as the Doctor was recognised. No, the new rule for Doctor Who seems to be the reason, which is 'anything pre-Holmes needn't exist', which can't be good for a script editor.
What must have happened was that at the end of 'Hand of Fear' the Doctor was knocked out when the TARDIS took off, and had a crazy mixed-up nightmare about Gallifrey. As a Doctor Who story, 'Deadly Assassin' is just not worth considering . I've spoken to many people, meany of whom were not members, and they all said how this story shatered their illlusions of the Time Lords, and lowered them to ordinary people.
Once, Time Lords were all-powerful, awe-inspiring beings, capable of imprisoning planets forever in force fields, defenders of truth and good (when called in). Now, they are petty, squabbling, feeble-minded, doddering old fools.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE MAGIC OF DOCTOR WHO?
