I liked Dinosaurs on a Spaceship.

>>84928247
>tfw no Subterranean Homesick Alien episode

>>84928209
Reminder that Dinosaurs on a Spaceship and Power of Three includes the best character in NuWho, on par with Based Nardie, Brian.

How does Big Finish somehow not run out of promo pics for cover art?

>>84928209
Hoping he'll prove to be the opposite of Moffat, i.e. an okay writer for individual episodes and a great showrunner. Broadchurch is apparently good.

>>84928242
>tfw the best Doctor Who game is is the TARDIS mod on Gary's Mod.

>>84928133

It was good. Not a lot of Nardole, but he shows up, and is pretty good in it.

>/who/ presents:
DOCTOR WHO: SHIT TRIPS Vol. 2
- The Anthology -

>Are you a true fan of Doctor Who?
>Have you ever written down a sequence of words?

If the answer is yes or no, then you are ready to contribute a literary masterpiece to the second /who/ collection of original Doctor Who-based short fiction.

/who/ did it once. Now, we're gonna do it again! Yet another entry in an age-old tradition of p̶a̶c̶k̶a̶g̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶f̶a̶n̶f̶i̶c̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶g̶e̶t̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶g̶i̶v̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶m̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶a̶i̶r̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶l̶e̶g̶i̶t̶i̶m̶a̶c̶y̶ / celebrating the magic of Who and the talent of a community.

There are no limits (except the story must be at least 1 word long, and preferably not in excess of 10,000, it's short fiction you fuck).

>- Can involve any Doctor(s), companion(s), side characters, spinoff characters and beyond, as your heart desires
>- Can be in any style, whether it's "legitimate writing", "pisstake", or "shitpost".
>- Can be about absolutely anything
>- The main focus is on good fun in the vein of the wiki, although serious entries are allowed. (If you're going to write smut, maybe approach it with a degree of levity)

Stuck for ideas? Try starting with your favourite TARDIS team (or for timeliness, 12/Bill “I'm a lesbian” Potts) and one of these authentic titles:
http://www.saberpunk.net/DoctorWho/DoctorWhoSerialGenerator.php
https://glyphobet.net/drwho
And free scenario prompts:
http://games.usvsth3m.com/drwho/

We are going to be starting an index on the wiki for the collection. Anyone can contribute, no signups/pitches required. If you have ideas, feel free to broadcast them.
The rest is self-explanatory. Format for uploading your work is up to you, as long as it can be conveniently copied across (and ideally don't spam long texts in /who/ directly). (Pastebin works well.)

BONUS: Anyone who wants to do cover art or "illustrations" is encouraged.

>>84928404
Make it a "DAVROS DID NOTHING WRONG" fic instead. Makes it a little less offensive.

When do you think the plot will get to "I bribed the architect" tier?

>>84926042
Twelve going fucking mental in Hell Bent is him being driven to the very edge of his character and making some serious mistakes and errors of judgement. It's not out of character, but it is extreme; The Doctor has become obsessed with not letting his companions, particularly Clara, die, after what happened with Amy and Rory, and how much he cared for her and how much they depended on each other. I don't think he had ever really depended on anyone as much before. Rose isn't canon

Watching Hell Bent, I was thinking "fuck sake Doctor, calm down, you don't need to do this", but I never thought "this is out of character and he wouldn't logically do this."

I still think your enjoyment of Hell Bent is at the mercy of whether or not you like Clara. What happened in the episode was much more interesting than anything they could have done with Galllifrey, for me - he already outed Rassilon and took up the presidency and shouted at them all; what next?

I remember listening to Energy of the Daleks years ago and thinking it was shite, Tom didn't sound very good and I never liked Leela
Honestly don't know if I finished it or not desu

I also listened to one of the short 100 BC and it was pretty mediocre and I remember nothing about it

>>84929690
Yeah but 100 days of the Doctor is excellent and the motzart one is godly

Thanks, I'll give them a listen. My only problem is finding something I can do while listening to them

>>84929930
Video games And my drive to work do it for me. I really should start jogging but...nah

>>84929930
I usually play strategy games like XCOM.
I might try listing to them while painting my Warhammer models.

>>84928420

>>84928884

Will there ever be a good Doctor Who video game?

>>84929930
I usually listen while I commute or I exercise.

>>84929966
>>84929990
I don't drive but finding some good games to play with them would work probably. I should clear off my treadmill to run on that while listening but I'm posting on /who/ what do you really expect

>>84929930
I used to listen to them in bed but there's always the danger of falling asleep when you do that.

I'm going to try listening while playing vidya next but I'm worried the vidya will distract me from the story. That's how I listen to music, though.

Would be interesting if you could read the script while listening, maybe.

>>84929882
Lol I only trip to clarify who I am with regards to shit trips

>>84930002
'Tis. Honestly I can't even remember if I finished it lmao

>>84930011
They either need to do a Telltale game, or a Lego game and it would work perfectly.

Imagine a Doctor Who game where you start out as Capaldi (or whoever the current Doctor is when it comes out), and there's no lives but every time you die you regenerate into a new, randomly generated character

>>84930011
Only if its a telltale style one

>>84930104
that sounds pretty wank in all honesty, why would i want to play as some random fucko, plus they'd have to generate a new personality each time

>>84930170
Yeah that's one of those ideas that really works on paper but while playing it I'd be pissed that I couldn't play as a real doctor. I like what lego dimensions did

>>84930011
I suppose a battlefront style game could work.

>>84930104
So far we have Lego Dimensions.
With Doctor Who properties in the game, it opens the door to a possible future Lego Doctor Who game.

The LEGO games turned to shit as soon as they started speaking actual dialogue

"Hurr? Hmm dmm na brr!" is just better

>>84928796
>still think your enjoyment of Hell Bent is at the mercy of whether or not you like Clara
I fucking loathe Clara and I still think is one of the best Nuwho episodes

>>84930170
A telltale game would have to have a doctor we've already seen and a new companion would work well.

I dont know if playing as the companion or the doctor would be better, probably the companion as they would be the sort of self. Thats how it was done in tales from the borderlands which worked really well.


The game would also need to have some old recurring characters, im thinking like; river strax and jack typer characters.

When is RTD coming back? ;_;

Why did they stop with the blue peter competitions? Don't primary school kids want to write for an old man doctor?

>>84930206
>>84930170
Suppose you're right, but it could be an RPG type where you come up with your own personality and shit. Maybe you just start as some random timelord that's traveling with the Doctor?

>>84930280
Now that IS interesting.
I loved Hell Bent, although it's not the kind of episode you can just channel surf and land on, so I'm curious how it will stand up upon rewatch. I watch everything in chronological order anyway so it doesn't matter to me.

>>84930280
Huh, I didn't even know that was possible.

People call out how Bill fell in Love with Heather despite only meeting her like three times but desu I fell in love with her after watching her for 5 minutes so

The ony way to watch Doctor Who is with every episode playing at the same time, and all even numbered ones are played in reverse.

>>84930668
thats because you have a piss fetish

>>84930534
For me the biggest flaw of hell bent is that it is wall to wall doctors past teases. Moffat loves this shit but is to much of a pussy to ever really reveal anything.

>>84930668
you didn't fall in love, you fell in lust

>>84930789
Or kill any one offfor real

>>84930789
what teasing? It clearly showed that the doctor grew up in some kind of orphanage thing

>>84930789
So you want Moffat to go even further with his lore plundering? The consensus seems to be people want him to stay away from stuff like that. I love every second of it, but I think if he goes too far with it he could ruin the mystery of it all in much the same way as I think Cartmell might have in the 80s.

One of the great things about the Hybrid arc is we still don't really know what it is or if it exists. It's just a prophecy and The Doctor Lies.

>>84930840
Nah it was definitely more "aww she's so cute" than "damn I want to stick me pen0r inside her"

>>84932547
I liked the e space trilogy but found the other episodes tedious. I might have been burnt out on who at the time tho... that happens quite often

>>84932687
The first episode was a huge step up in production value and quite enjoyable. The second wasn't as good but was still nice. I didn't really care much for Warrior's Gate but Logopolis was GOAT.

>>84932687
I would definitely encourage you to give it another go someday. As I said, piecemeal, the 18's not the best. Meglos is super meh and The Leisure Hive and (especially) Warriors Gate are admittedly not everyone's cup of tea. Holistically though, it's incredible. It seriously makes me wish Bidmead had at least stayed on for Season 19 to see if he'd continued with that kind of arc storytelling.

>>84936668
He didn't regenerate because he was shot, he regenerated because the idiot doctor decided to operate when she didn't have a damn clue what his biology was.

if matt smith regenerated at the end of Series 5 he would have been regarded super highly among the doctors. and while I love Capaldi more than Smith in general, the same definitely could not be said for series 8.

Do you think if the Master cut off his thumb or something before he regenerated he could put the energy into that and stay looking the same?

>>84942427
why is this question specific to the Master?

>>84942427
Whasn't the deal with Ten's hand thatit got cut off soon after he regenerated? He would need to cut body parts as soon as he regenerates, and then keep them in store until needed.

>>84942567
No, that was just why he instantly grew another one.

whether Chibnall Who is good or bad, i'm super excited to see dr who become a whole new show again regardless

>>84942560
I'm Chris Chibnall - I'm wanting to keep John Simm on as the Master for Series 11, but I need a get-out clause because Steven made it hard for me.

>>84942629
very agree

>>84942670
we didn't see any regeneration energy, chris. there's your out already

>>84942629
I'm willing to give Chibnall he benefit of the doubt since he seems to actually want to take Doctor Who in a new direction, even though I disliked most of his episodes.

can't wait for chibnall to be shit so we can go back and watch his smug dumb face from back in '86 talking about the show and laugh at him

>>84940081

Jesus Titty Fucking Mary Christ. :-O

Is this real ? Did this really happen ?

Dude what a cunt ...

>>84930104

why can't you just start as Hartnell and whenever you fuck up you don't die like in a regular game, but you regenerate into the next Doctor until you reach Kriss Marshall, after which you die

Why didn't the Doctor, Martha and Captain Jack destroy the Paradox Machine inside the TARDIS when they found it? They could have averted the whole Sound of the Drums/Last of the Timelords arc...

Just been reading the twitter stuff. This selfish idiot was told on Jul 8th that Capaldi's last day of filming was Jul 10th, but only told a select few of his 'favoureds'.

Dozens of other fans had planned to meet up outside Roath Lock on Jul 11th (because Moff had originally said that was last day of filming), in the hope of meeting Capaldi on his last day. These included parents with children who hoped to meet their 'hero', and had booked time off work in advance/ bought train tickets and/or made other travel arrangements.

Soo....instead of dozens outside, incl families with kids, hoping to meet him and give him a good send off, Capaldi only had some of the staff from the DWE and a motley crew of about 4 mega-stalkers waiting outside. Which is a shame.

series 1 episode 1

>>84944306
>>84944330
Season 1 episode 1 m8

>>84944306
Series 5 is basically a soft reboot.
You can start either from series 1 or from there, it's your choice.
Or you can wait a year since there will be another fresh start in 2018.

Yes.

>And is the old stuff worth watching?
I'd say give it a try if you like the new show.

>>84944386
>And is the old stuff worth watching?
Hell yes!

>can you understand the show without having to watch the old show?
You can understand the new series just fine without watching the old series

>>84944386
Of course. I started watching Hartnell in '03 as a kid and it was amazing. Ian and Barbara the best companions desu

>>84944306
Every 5 or so years, the show gets a semi-reboot so new viewers can start watching without any prior knowledge needed other than 'he's an alien time traveller who travels in a time/space machine disguised a blue police box'.

Series 5 is one of the points for new viewers to begin. Also, series 10 is a fairly easy point to start watching too if you're new.

Honestly has anyone here watched all of NewWho without watching any of the classics?

>>84944380
10 - Yes
9 - Strong maybe
8 - Strong probably not / depending on story
7 - Yeah, fuck it, why not?
6 - Don't see how it could be done, myself.
5 - Strong yes / something different
4 - Strong maybe
3 - Strong maybe
2 - Absolutely
1 - Depends 100% on the story and what's happening in it.

Good list IMO.

Ogrons were just dumb muscle
Fendahleen I could see happening

Thrails are just hairy guys. Eh.

As soon as the Silurians got more tech savvy, the Terileptals got redundant.
I don't see The Tractators working well in the modern era

yes, the series which comprised of mainly classic who fanwank and ends on a 'cliffhanger' which is only good if you know of a character from 50+ years ago...

>>84944471
Yeah i was gonna start with 'Rose' but someone said i wouldn't like the Doctor and the show apparently looks cheap so they said start with season 5. Just thought it was kinda odd

"Hello. I'm the Doctor. Basically... run."

Anyone else feel Simm was a bit wasted in s10?

>>84944519
>wouldn't like the Doctor
If he believes that, ignore him. Start with Rose.

>>84944662
Watch the show, he became a vegetarian in "The Two Doctors" and was never shown eating meat again until the Ninth Doctor ordered a steak in "Boom Town"

Apparently, that was a symbolic gesture by RTD to show that he wasn't going to make his concept of the Doctor's character identical to JNT's

>>84944669
Everyone feels the same way retard

>>84928209
Reminder that 42 and Dinosaurs are excellent and pretty much define Doctor Who in different ways (Tense suspenseful space story and fun space adventure) and The Power of Three is legit great until the shitty ending.

Silurian two parter is the definition of okay. I watched it last week and barely remember it, but I don't remember disliking it.

>>84944728

Dalek Invasion of Earthh

>>84944736
I agree about 42 and it's genuinely tense and great.
But Dinosaurs is flawed. Too many characters, most of them are underwritten (wasted Bradley, thanks god he gets a great role after all), bland Nefertiti and hunter guy. Smith is given over-campy lines in this episode. It couldve been fun kino but its just above average at best.

>>84944749
From the first doctor watch Edge of Destruction - it's similar in length to new who episodes and is good.

>>84944808
>recommending a regeneration story to a brand new fan

>>84944885
Series 10 is the worst series of the new series, followed by S9.

>>84944885
It's not a fairly easy point though, it's a pretty terrible starting point.

Being told you're wrong isn't really being "salty", anon.

>>84944912

>But Dinosaurs is flawed. Too many characters, most of them are underwritten (wasted Bradley, thanks god he gets a great role after all), bland Nefertiti and hunter guy. Smith is given over-campy lines in this episode

Maybe it was my problem with saying it was excellent, I agree but I still find the campyness super fun. Nefertiti and based Rupert Graves are extremely simple characters with 0 complexity but that's not really the point, the episode doesn't want to be anything other than a fun romp and it achieves that.
The only problem is Bradley's villain that just needed some more work.

>>84944662
>it just fits his character more

How come? He's not even a true pacifist. He dislikes the military but he's willing to kill when necessary. Eating some chicken isn't exactly out-of-character for any Doctor.

Now, sexualizing him instead of making Two onwards asexual, that was a mistake.

First 30 minutes of Power of Three is pure funkino though. Doctor Who sitcom at its best.
Ending is probably the single worst ending of all times. Not really a Chibs fault tho, more of production fuckups.

>>84945015
>Not really a Chibs fault tho, more of production fuckups.
Why? The prosthetics were shit, but the main problem is that the script literally tries to introduce and then resolve the main plot of the episode in a matter of a couple of minutes, and it's done fucking awfully. I would say almost all of the blame lies with Chibnall.

>>84945007
Genesis of the Daleks is overrated

season 10 had a great selection of villains

>>84945045

And
Chibs had to rewrite ending a week before filming because the guy playing shakri was an asshole and everything was fucked upp

>>84944749
They've released DVD box sets for each Doctor, the choices are usually pretty solid.

>>84945111
If only we could go back to the halcyon days of killer daffodils and murderous stones.

Have you listened to UK screenwriter podcast with Chris Chibnall? He sounds like a very humble a nice guy. He considers his Life on Marshall episodes as his best job.

>>84945298
I'm afraid that the images of him talking about Doctor Who back in 1986 have forever burned the image into my mind that he's a total twat

>>84945334

>Heard mixed things about series 10
The stories themselves are a bit up and down, but I felt it was miles better in terms of tone than series 8 or 9, and they perfected the character of Peter Capaldi's Doctor.

>>84944262
This is the new Doctor apparently, better than Kris or Patterson.

>>84945688
Yes! That was a terrible episode to leave it on, as the 2 episodes after it were very good (Heaven Sent being considered the absolute best NuWho episode)

Hell Bent after it is not as good, and the plot is sidelined to focus on Clara, which is a shame, but it has amazing visuals and set design.

Series 10 is pretty good - there are a couple boring episodes near the beginning and the Monk trilogy has an unsatisfying conclusion, but the end of Series 10 is very good - the last 11th episode is almost on par with Heaven Sent and the 12th is not as good, but is still pretty great.

Plus you're missing out on Nardole who starts out annoying but is by far one of the best companions

jodie whittaker seems more like a companion

>>84945731
I didn't find series 9 bad, it just didn't feel 'fun' if you know what I mean. Also it was visually awful. Really fucking blue. Saw the S10 trailer and it looks more exciting. Might give it a go this weekend.

>>84945778
Yeah Clara was one of the reasons I stopped watching lol

Also how Capaldi wears that stupid hoodie outfit and pajamas under his coat

>>84945768
HNNNGGHHH

>>84945794
>it just didn't feel 'fun' if you know what I mean.
I felt exactly the same way, barring the first two episodes. That was a pretty big drawback for me honestly though.
>Really fucking blue.
Series 10 has that issue in places too (particularly the finale), but it also has a lot of really colorful episodes too.

If you haven't been spoiled, try to avoid the trailers for series 10, since there are some big surprises that the BBC publicity team for some reason decided to spoil the major twists in official trailers for the series.
The two trailers I'd advise ignoring are the Coming Soon trailer at the end of the first episode of Series 10, "The Pilot," and the next time trailer at the end of Episode 10 of Series 10.

>>84945849
Well she's gone by the last episode. (Hell Bent)

No idea why they made him wear a hoodie. He doesn't wear it in the last 3 episodes you missed though :P

>>84945888
Yeah i've heard the Tennant era Master comes back...pretty hard to avoid. But it begs the question why the fuck they revealed it, would've been a nice surprise.

It would be like them revealing Yana was the Master before the ep aired

>>84946029
>But it begs the question why the fuck they revealed it, would've been a nice surprise.
To try and get people to tune in to see him. Simm himself said he was disappointed it got revealed early, and Moffat was telling people not to watch trailers for the series.

>>84946062
>Moffat was telling people not to watch trailers for the series

Surely this defeats the point of a trailer.

>"Here's our new series, just avoid all of the promotional material we've spent thousands on!"

>>84946105
Moffat doesn't make the trailers, and he was obviously upset it got spoiled too.

what was the meaning of this scene

>>84946228
Another potentially interesting plot point that went fucking nowhere.

Why did the TARDIS leave Mars by itself?

>>84946252
It was all part of Alpha Centauri's plan to bring the Ice Warriors over to his side.

>>84946252
>Why did the TARDIS leave Mars by itself?
Because Gatiss wrote the bulk of the script before Nardole was in Series 10, so he had to find an easy way to justify him not being in most of the episode.

If Heather can warp reality etc why didn't she show up either before Bill became a cyberman, or when all the kids needed help? She could've just killed all the cybermen (she killed a dalek in ep1)

My overall fave series is s9. Yeah it had one shit ep, but all seasons have had at least one of those. I even like Hell Bent.

s10 is average NuWho imo (which is to say it's pretty decent). No eps I actually disliked, but Oxygen/ Extremis/ WEaT/ Doctor Falls were all above average. Only prob was the main companion wasn't fappable. Fortunately, I'm not shallow enough for that to bother me.

>>84946406
Don't ask anything about Heather. Everything about her defies logic.

>>84946406
Even a cosmic goddess is controlled by the Laws of Time. Personally, I like the theory that the Puddle is the ultimate version of the Cybermen, after thousands upon millions of evolution. If that's true, then Heather couldn't interfere with Bill's Cyberization until a certain point, or she would invalidate her own existence.

But.....her favourite episodes of the whole series were Thin Ice ("I liked it when the river snake got saved, poor thing"), The Lie of the Land ("aw that's so sweet that she loves her Mum so much, such a lovely girl") and The Eaters of Light ("that Doctor is such a nice man helping those poor Scottish people, and lovely music I must say - very Celtic"). ......So...ahem.
