I hate this so much. I'm gonna rant about it.

GOOD:
The music/instrumental itself is good.

Livy dancing with a drashig at the end is cute.

BAD:
The terrible, lazy greenscreening doesn't look like fun shlock, it just looks genuinely terrible and embarrassing.

The singer's stupid hair that he's always way too proud of, he used to always tweet about it too.

The smug, self-satisfied facial expressions of the singer.

That stupid open-mouthed expression he makes during the first chorus, like he's so amazed by his own voice and hair.

The thin guy in the white shirt doing that arrogant dorky attitude like he's too good for it and only doing stupid dance moves "ironically".

The stupid lyrics, "la la la Patrick Ness / who's your favourite Doctor, mine is Eccleston".

If there really was nothing to talk about except favorite Doctors (a massive disservice to the fandom, and acts like the wilderness era was worthless), then there's so need for this song either.

The stupid zoom in to the thin guy's screaming tongue is gross.

Smug clapping with that stupid openmouthed expression again.

Indulgent 'headbanging' with his gross, unkempt hair.

The singer has an open sore on his face

The singer obviously actively reading the lyrics off something (watch his eyes) - were they seriously that hard to memorise? Jesus.

>the innocent use of the word "nigger" in a low quality meme image

Using the word, even in jest, arguably exposes someone to that ideology. It starts with "just a joke, bro", but that can be used by some people as a way to insidiously spread that thought. Part of what lets some honestly malicious people get away with what they do is the "just a prank, bro" defense, or the idolization of "lol trolling", without caring about what happens.

Now, I laughed at that image. I think it was slightly more clever than normal jokes that use the n-word. But I also understand that constant uses of racist humor can be used to make racist thoughts as "not so bad." It's a complex topic, but not everyone who criticizes about an offensive joke is a over-defensive pansy.

But that doesn't mean that image is promoting racist thought by accident, and it's is just another small piece of using an actual slur.

Also, it's not that funny.

Which slowly makes it more acceptable to say. It also trivializes the fact that the word is still used to denigrate blacks today (I actually saw it used on here unironically around 2 weeks ago). Yes, the context is definitely different, and I found the joke funny, but trivializing such a horrible history can at least be considered inappropriate. And an environment where such jokes are used can encourage actual racists.
>>

>>
>>86924801
There is no isolated context. The word has meaning. It has connotations behind it. There is no setting where the word means nothing. If you want to use a word that fits your conception of the word "nigger" but has no racist connotations, you can use a different word. You cannot magically strip the word of all its connotations, there is no vacuum where you can say the word without its history or meaning accounting for anything. There is no "regardless of context", because you cannot remove the context from the word. All words are are conveyors of meaning, and you're suggesting you can somehow selectively strip the meaning from them as you please. You, an individual, cannot. Society can, over long periods of time, but no one person can arbitrate that, least of all one unable to wrap their heads around a racist slur having racist connotations.

Animating the lost serials costs a ton of money and the BBC has stated they don't consider it cost effective to actively go about releasing said animated reconstructions, given past DVD sales (IIRC The Invasion, the first DVD to feature animated reconstructions of lost episodes, did not sell well).

As it stands, we are lucky to get one every couple of years released with animation replacing the lost footage.

Also, we will never get season sets of classic Who because they make more money selling the serials individually.

Yes, a fair bit. Some stories hearken back to things that happened with past Doctors, there are references here and there to things that happened in pre-McGann stuff, and there are even references to the VNAs (though nothing too extreme, in case you haven't read those.) Basically, the novels don't feel disjointed or out of place, they fit quite comfortably into the continuity, as much as it's possible for Doctor Who to have any sort of continuity.

>>
>>86925353
Yeah, I think you got it. Those jokes, in context, are more dumb than harmful, but I've seen convincing arguments that the "lol troll it's just a funny joke, bro" attitude is part of what fueled the transformation of this site. Many, even most people, can seperate the difference between a joke and being a racist a--hole, but some people use the "I'm just trolling" excuse t not only justify their vile acts, but also slowly move some people to more racist attitudes. It's a gradual transformation.

If I may say, as someone who agrees that the joke contributes to racism, that your explanation isn't helping him. You're just saying "raism doesn't exist in a vaccuum" without showing how that joke actually relates to that racism. He's got a legitimate argument which I disagree with (what is the harm of a low quality joke?), and you're not explaining why it's wrong. You're talking at him about connotations, but not answering his question.

His question seems to be: what is the harm of a low quality joke using slurs, in an environment where no one is explicitly saying "black people are niggers lol", on a generally liberal platform. What is the harm, considering the context?

(I personally agree the joke can be considered racist. But you're blowing him or her off without actually answering his concern)

You're not helping him with the snide joke. He or she seems to be asking an honest question.

And he's steadfastly refused to actually engage with any points I've actually made. He's blowing me off, I'm reiterating what I've said and rephrasing it, and he blows me off again. You're having a separate conversation with him than I am. You're arguing about how jokes can normalise racism, I'm pointing out that the idea that words can exist without context is nonsense. He's hardly engaging earnestly or honestly when posting comments like "You're just putting me to sleep here with these rationalizations. You can make all the appeals you want to muh society and muh history".

Beause he's not saying these words have no context.

He's saying "in the context of a Doctor Who subboard in Mongolian kayaking board, how the heck does a low quality joke that doesn't say anything about black people being bad, be considered offensive against black people?"

You're saying: "You can't use a slur against black people without considering all the historically violent ways it has been used."

He's saying: "The word literally isn't being used to hurt anyone." If someone else called a black person in front of his face "nigger", he'd probably tell them off. But in this specific situation, he's saying no one in this context is getting hurt.

Actually, this gets to the two different definitions of racism.

He's saying: racism is decided by situational context. The n-word isn't always necessarily racist, based on the contextual usage.

You're saying: racist slurs are always racist, beause of they are systemically racist. You can't decide whether or not a word is a slur in some cases, and not the other. Whenever a slur is used, it carries that societal connotation. You don't get to decide when or when it isn't a slur.

>>86925447

I'm not discussing how saying "nigger" in a meme can normalise racism, I'm discussing how that anon's experience of words isn't universal and that you can't take the context out from a word. Your conversation with him is fine and valid and all that, but it's not the one I'm having.

>I'll continue, but first: is this an accurate representation of your opinion?
It's irrelevant because it's not the opinion I'm expressing in this thread, the opinion I'm expressing in this thread isn't specific to racism. It's that words have meanings, connotations, and it's nonsense to suggest there's some kind of setting where words can't transfer those meanings, because that's literally all that words are. Words are memetic. There is no way to decouple words from their meanings selectively. People can fool themselves into thinking so, but that doesn't make it true. Again, don't misconstrue what I'm saying as purely an indicator to systemic racism. That's just one arena this applies to.

>>86925935
Because neither you, nor anyone else, get to decide other people's experiences or reactions.
>>
>>86925935
>I feel like we should move on at this point though. It's derailing the thread too much.

So you're happy to start these conversations and laugh off racism, but when people confront you about your views and your derailing of the thread, it becomes "woah we should move on". Right. That's really convenient, that you can handwave away the need to actually consider other people's opinions and engage with them when they disagree with you. I see now how you manage to keep such nonsensical opinions for so long - you just dismiss and move on whenever they're challenged.
>>
>>86926019
>there is no way to decouple words from their meanings selectively

But...that's ignoring context. A woman who calls her friend "bitch" is not the same thing as an abusive husband calling his batterred wife "bitch." You can argue one feeds the other on a systemic level, but to say they are the same is to ignore context.

> Because neither you, nor anyone else, get to decide other people's experiences or reactions.

He's not deciding other people's experience. He's saying he doesn't see how it's racist.

>>86926075
I think y'all are antagonizing this guy's conversation too much. I don't see a Cletus when talking to this guy; I see someone who is honestly confused.

Again, you're sidestepping what I'm saying and trying to contextualise it into a political stance I'm not making. I'm not even a liberal.

>A woman who calls her friend "bitch" is not the same thing as an abusive husband calling his batterred wife "bitch." You can argue one feeds the other on a systemic level, but to say they are the same is to ignore context.
I'm not saying anything like this. I'm saying words are memetic carriers of information, and you can't divorce them from their varied contexts and meanings. A woman calling her friend a "bitch" as a term of endearment doesn't have to be an insult, yes. Of course. But it doesn't magically mindwipe the other woman's awareness that the word has multiple meanings. I'm not saying either woman is offended in that scenario or using the word negatively, I'm saying both have learned what that word means and they can't magically "reclaim" it or forget those alternate meanings. They can add meanings, but they can't take meanings away.

Again, your use of "Cletus" - I'm not making your argument about racism. I'm making the point that this anon has a tremendously silly, juvenile, sheltered opinion on language that has no basis in reality. I wish you all the luck in the world in your conversation about racism, but it's not the conversation I'm having.

You're a nice person.

I didn't mean to insult you, by calling you nice. Years ago, "nice" used to mean "stupid." That definition has changed over time. Words can change and lose meaning, and often do. They do at an alarming rate. Ask a linguistics professor.

And this hypothetical woman can react based on the context, because context changes the meaning. Heck, tone of voice changes the meaning.

You're saying that "alternate meanings of slurs do not erase that they are slurs." That's true...but context is important. If the only reason that someone's offended is because they can't read context, they certainly have a right to their feelings, but their opinion can be questioned, because context is important.

(To me, you're having a question about semiotics; but his question was about racism.)
>>
>>86926353
I'm been thinking about what you said, and I apologize. I think I understand what you've been saying now.

He's saying: "Why would people have a reaction to a slur used innocently as a joke?"

And you're saying:"Because the slur has been used to hurt people for so long, that you can't expect everyone to just not have a negative reaction to seeing it used lightly. Even if word meaning is slowly changing, many people will understandably still feel revolted at the slur."

Am I correct?

No need to apologise Immigrant, I know you're engaging earnestly and I appreciate that you even reflected further on what I said, that is flattering and appreciated.

>And you're saying:"Because the slur has been used to hurt people for so long, that you can't expect everyone to just not have a negative reaction to seeing it used lightly. Even if word meaning is slowly changing, many people will understandably still feel revolted at the slur."

That's a lot closer, that's something that could build off what I'm saying, but I'm really trying to say something I think is even simpler - words carry meanings. Context doesn't change the meanings they carry. Context determines what meaning is being deployed at that specific moment. But it doesn't erase the other meanings in the word.

When I call myself a "/who/re" obviously I'm not implying I'm a prostitute or anything like that. But I cannot, and am not, magically erasing that meaning laden in the word. We're both aware of the wordplay. I am not using the word as an insult in that context, but I cannot remove the insult from the word. The word carries meanings and connotations beyond the specific context I'm using it in.

You can go from there to build arguments about offence and whatnot. You can make the "nice used to mean stupid" argument (an example of society taking a very long time to erase a meaning, something a simple context, individual, or short period of time can never do). But I'm just trying to communicate this very basic idea of "words carry meanings, you can't magically selectively erase certain meanings inherent to words" to an anon that seems utterly baffled why anyone could possibly find "nigger" racist.

I think I see the issue. The anon understood that the n-word is racist; he didn't understand why a word used in that context is racist. Tardisposting is a context.

>I am not using the word as an insult in that context, but I cannot remove the insult from the word. The word carries meanings and connotations beyond the specific context I'm using it in.

I'm not so sure of that. I don't think he's arguing against that. I mean, the original relies on the n-word's offensiveness on humor, so obviously the anon's aware of that. But, even though the joke relied on the racist history for humor, does it follow the joke is racist? You're talking about the first part, the anon's discussing the second.

Also

>an example of society taking a very long time to erase a meaning, something a simple context, individual, or short period of time can never do

It can be as simple as one generation. Or less. I feel you're underestimating how quickly a meaning can change. Historical meanings can be forgotten very easily.

And society erases a meaning through those small interactions. Small interactions make up big ones. It's like--will my one voice in a crowd help? No. Will my one vote change an election? No. But if everyone decides to disregard their small interactions, it can create a large effect.

I love this music because it is theme-wise it is so quintesentially Doctor Who. The main melody keeps repeating itself over and over again with slight alterations to the arrangement each time.

First we hear the melody in The Day of the Doctor, when 11 figures out a way of saving Gallifrey, managing the impossible because there is three of them now. It plays very subtly underneath but it is there.

Of course most prominently it becomes 12th's signature music in Heaven Sent as he punches a wall for 4 billion years, over and over again. It becomes the music of determination and not giving up.

Then we hear it again in The Doctor's Fall as he destroys the Cybermen for the 2312319th time, while counting the significant moments of that happening. As he does it again, it becomes an oath that he will do it as long as he can. The music may just as well be named for Sisyphus at this point.

What my dream sequence for the Christmas regeneration would be 1st Doctor leaving the regenerate and they actually do a remake of it, but just as he starts so does Capaldi start to regenerate in a different time and place, while giving the last of his signature monologues about change and we cut to the other Doctors regenerations all through the history of the show, from 7th to 10th with this music playing underneath, finally getting to the 12th's. Regeneration itself is the act of Sisyphus for the Doctor. It only makes sense this plays while he is giving it another go.

>he didn't understand why a word used in that context is racist
The word can memetically transfer racism even if used in a "non racist context" I believe we agree on.

>It can be as simple as one generation. Or less. I feel you're underestimating how quickly a meaning can change.
For a word like "rewind", sure. Not for a word like "nigger".

>And society erases a meaning through those small interactions. Small interactions make up big ones. It's like--will my one voice in a crowd help? No. Will my one vote change an election? No. But if everyone decides to disregard their small interactions, it can create a large effect.
In a broad linguistic sense, not in an individual context. I'm not addressing whether every context the word "nigger" is used in involves racism, I'm not touching that because that other anon can reduce that down to "muh history" or whatever else he wants. I'm stringently sticking to the semiotics of it. Words carry meanings beyond the ones being deployed in a specific context. "/who/re" does not mean prostitute, but it still propogates the word "whore" and those associated meanings secondarily. Nobody can individually strip meanings from a word, regardless of what they intend, and to act like it's preposterous for anyone to identify a long-held, if not primary, meaning of the word "nigger" is strikingly arrogant and childish.
>>

>Words carry meanings beyond the ones being deployed in a specific context. "/who/re" does not mean prostitute, but it still propogates the word "whore" and those associated meanings secondarily.

Perhaps. But that's a systemic, societal conversation, not necessarily a one-on-one topic. Also, this is an incredibly complicated topic we're discussing, the other anon who has gotten confused about isn't necessarily being childish.

Also, are you Melanon?
>>
>>86927603
No, I am not. I'm offended you'd think so but I suppose I have been combative so I understand the assumption.

>But that's a systemic, societal conversation, not necessarily a one-on-one topic.
My point is the two can't be divorced. We cannot make "/who/re" not also carry "whore". We cannot make "nigger" not also carry its history. Over time, words can change meanings, but to think a meme page like TARDISposting, or a general like /who/ can come anywhere near close to, is literally childish, in the sense that it's egocentric and unaware of a greater world beyond one's own lived experiences.

I'll remind you the anon has said
>society told you to be upset by a word
>You're just putting me to sleep here
>muh society and muh history

I somewhat disagree, or at least, I believe that racist intent can be moderated by context, although of course it still sort of "carries" the idea. It literally has a differerent meaning due to context. But there is an overarching meaning, and it makes sense why people react to that.

I think this is a good place to end this discussion. You've given me a lot to chew on, and thank you for that.

>I engaged earnestly with him, and engaged earnestly with you. Look how much more productive the conversation is when we respect each other's opinions and don't resort to teenage-level tripe like that.

That's true. But my issue with your discussion with him is that you and him seemed to be arguing about different things (then again, I misunderstood your argument, so...). Although he wasn't the best at conversing, I still feel he was honestly looking for answers; he just was confused about the argument.

You're probably aware of this, but before it plays in the 50th, this plays https://youtu.be/qmivRlaEgbM from Waters of Mars when 10 decides to change time. Very fitting.

I like your analysis of Breaking the Wall as Sisyphean, that's very good. The very self-assured repetitive nature of it fit the whole deterministic repetition in Heaven Sent excellently. Great melding between the music and the story.

I also liked it in the Doctor Falls because the Cybermen are that same sort of deterministic, repetitive 'machine' that essentially the Doctor is. And as he lists off the repeated ways he's fought them in similar scenarios...it all fits very well again.

Intriguing idea on the regeneration scene, I'm sure someone will do a YouTube edit of that even if the actual special doesn't.

Anon from earlier here, I think I should clarify my position, since I never really did and it seems like you actually are trying to be reasonable. I never denied that words have meanings. In fact, that accusation seemed so random I found it hard to believe you were arguing in good faith.

To use your example, most normal people, or at least normal people under 40, wouldn't be upset by the word /who/re just because it's derived from the word whore, even if they would be upset by the word whore used in a more vicious context. My point is that for similar reasons, it doesn't make sense to be upset or offended by "nigger on the inside" unless you have an involuntary, unpleasant reaction to the mere sight of the word nigger. And if that's the case, it's because you've been conditioned that way by society, but not because it's something that's forced on you by the word's history or the nature of the language. It's ultimately your own problem and not a justification to condemn people who don't have that reaction and thus can make and enjoy those kinds of jokes (which is how all this started >>86923784)

>>86928547
Apart from the fact that John Peel's prose is pretty basic and hacky, the main objection is the plot gymnastics he goes through to rearrange and re-explain Dalek history. Remember when the Doctor got Davros to blow up Skaro in Remembrance?

Well he didn't! The Daleks terraformed another planet so it looked like Skaro. To really sell it, the Daleks then put Davros on there and woke him up (in Destiny), so that even Davros would think it was really Skaro. To further sell this con, the Daleks faked the entire war with the Movellans — creating a fake enemy as a pretence to wake up Davros.

And this is all info-dumped by Daleks to the Doctor in lieu of an actual engaging plot.

Again, you're not addressing my points, you're just reiterating your own. You cannot decouple a word from its meanings. Words memetically carry and transfer multiple meanings regardless of an individual's reaction to, and use of, them.

>it's because you've been conditioned that way by society
This is a tremendously juvenile way of looking at the world, both the principle of what you're saying and how you've phrased it. You can reduce anything to "conditioned by society", because that's how humanity works.

>it doesn't make sense to be upset or offended by "nigger on the inside" unless you have an involuntary, unpleasant reaction to the mere sight of the word nigger
You do not get to decide that. You are not the arbiter of "what makes sense". Other people's reactions and opinions are as valid and genuine as yours. You are not inherently superior, or more objective, or more correct. All you possess is another opinion.

>something that's forced on you by the word's history
You're taking some kind of slant as if words have agency, and it's a mark of weakness to react to them instead of remaining "objectively lucid" to their meaning in context. That's bizarre, and not how the real world works. You do not get to decide how people react to "nigger", you do not get to decide the validity of their reactions.

>It's ultimately your own problem
You're deflecting the meaning and connotations of language onto a misguided sense of personal agency.

>not a justification to condemn people who don't have that reaction
Again, the word is not devoid of meaning, not being offended by "nigger" isn't a mark of fortitude, it's a consequence of your lived experience and opinions, which are most assuredly not universal.

You are deflecting the entire discourse onto the individual and ignoring the structures behind language. You are not more enlightened than someone who negatively reacts to slurs, you simply lead a different life. You are just as "conditioned" as them.

True.

Not necessarily true. This runs close to "all opinions are valid" , which is incorrect, and dangerous. In fact, you seem to be deciding the validity of his reaction to the word.

Words don't have agency, but context does.

>>86929046
I'm engaging with his opinion and reaction, I'm not writing it off as "just conditioned by society" as if he's intellectually inferior to me for having a different reaction. Someone not being personally offended by something does not give them greater "objective" judgement over other people's reactions. I'm not going to touch the racial component but you can imagine how a certain line of thought would rise from that point.

Not being offended by two black characters being called "niggers" is not a mark of greater judgement, intelligence, or sense of logic than someone who does take umbrage with it.

The Time of the Doctor explains pretty much everything.

Tasha Lem declares "silence will fall", the Doctor will not speak his name and let the Time Lords through, which would presumably start another Time War (which the Papal Mainframe, and the rest of the universe, understandably really don't want).

The Siege of Trenzalore goes on for a while. Plenty of folks want to level the planet, to prevent the Time Lords communicating or getting through. The Doctor wants to defend the human settlement there, so he holds enemies off.

Eventually some members of the church get frustrated, schism, and form "the Kovarian Chapter". This includes some humans and some Silents. They travel back in time to try and stop the Doctor from getting to Trenzalore and nullifying the whole situation. Some of their plans include raising a psychopath trained to kill the Doctor (S6, River), others include blowing up the TARDIS earlier in the Doctor's timeline (S5). Of course they fuck up and end up forming the cracks in time which allow the Siege to begin in the first place - paradox! That's why you don't fuck with time.

Meanwhile, forwards in time, the Daleks pretty much take over the Siege, and they end up being the only ones besieging Trenzalore. It really is like the Time War redux now!

Eventually the Time Lords give up (presumably Clara convinced them, they recognised a huge regeneration could knock out the Daleks all there, they were sick of waiting around, some other reason, I know some people don't want to accept the Clara one) and just push through a new regen cycle to the Doctor so he can keep living and presumably help them another day, and they leave, so the Siege ends and all is well.

What bits don't make sense to you?

when the SIlence was introduced they implied that they had been guiding human history from the beginning, also that the entire reason humans decided to go to the moon was because it would have forced them to create astronaut suits so the SIlence could use them

basically, why go through all those loops to achieve their goal

Ah right, yes, so the Silents can influence humans with all their powers and memory tricks and all that jazz. Right.

So they wanted to send humans to the moon cause they needed an astronaut suit for...River to kill the Doctor? Wait why would they need an astronaut suit for that...

>It was implied they were responsible for the Moon landing because they needed a special spacesuit for Melody Pond.

>When the Silence needed space suits, they implanted the idea of travelling to the Moon in the minds of the humans. They then trapped Melody Pond in a modified suit that they'd stolen from the space program; it served as an exoskeleton for her. They put twenty different kinds of alien technology in it, and the space suit was capable of operating without its inhabitant

Okay I don't understand why they needed a spacesuit either, why not just a big snorkel?

I can buy them doing a lot of weird steps because
1) they're aliens and don't think like humans
2) they're from the future and all the time weirdness means they probably have some really specific ideas for how to influence things
But I agree that the spacesuit stuff is weird

As for influencing human history for so long, either
1) boasting/exaggerating
2) they were just really arrogant and doing it for the power/hell of it
3) really specific timeline stuff they knew from the future/TOTD, they had to manipulate humans in a very specific way to get stuff they needed to stop the Doctor from getting to Trenzalore

The start of s6 doesn't shore up as neatly with TOTD as some other Silence arc episodes though, yeah

Moff had "at the end of the 11th Doctor's life, he fights a war/siege for centuries, and the villains/conflicts in his earlier days are reverberations from this battle in his future" planned from the very beginning, but the actual specifics weren't planned from the start, so I understand some wonkiness here and there. Honestly, in the Time of the Doctor he pulled it off more neatly than I expected he could.

Can someone explain this Nilso meme that pops up every now and then?
>>
>>86932906
Sure.

Nilso is a regular anon here. In the stream (casualwhostream on cytube) you have to have a username, so anons have different usernames. Nilso is this particular anon's. Good bloke.

Anyways back during early S10...actually whenever Simm was announced, someone started occasionally replying "t. Nilso" to seemingly random posts on /who/.

You know the "t." meme right? It's a way of like signing off a post (shades of "Cheers, Jon Blum"), often used jokingly or ironically to suggest a certain comment could come from someone. Like if I said "wow, I sure love writing about Rose, t. RTD", you'd get the joke.

Well for some reason someone (or multiple anons?) kept going "t. Nilso" on a fair few posts. It died down a fair bit eventually (perhaps it was fellow stream user Capaldo, who eventually randomly left /who/ - he propagated a couple of memes in his time). It comes up now and again still, but not half as much.

I hope that explained it well enough.

>>86933342

>>
>>86933300
There really is no secret Discord.

But yeah, I'd kind of like to see an updated version of that too. Unfortunately, some people just move on for no real reason. The only constant for /who/ is comfiness.
>>
>>86933421
Yeah it's just weird, like he was into Doctor Who enough to come to a general on 4chan for it, so presumably he watched the rest of S10, so why would he just abruptly stop coming? Usually people just do the slow fade out, or drop in offseasons, it's weird to drop out onseason. Who knows, maybe he moved or work got super busy or something else to distract him off the show. Maybe he just had some snap moment and decided to stop coming to 4chan altogether, sometimes people do that for sites. Or maybe something fucked happened and he's not alright. There are loads of possibilities and we'll presumably never know.

Aliens of London/World War III is, if we’re being honest, probably the story most responsible for the wave of people who advocate skipping Eccleston’s tenure when getting into the series. Aliens of London/World War III is a profoundly awkward story, and the first point where the new series appears to falter. There’s a lot to say about the quality of the story, but I actually don’t really want to get into issues like quality on the new series for a while, so I’m mostly going to punt on that. Suffice it to say that any discussion of Aliens of London/World War III and its quality needs to first come up with at least some general theory of the opening two-parter, since in practice whatever this story’s flaws may be it was used as the template for the first two-parter of every subsequent Russell T Davies-era series, was recycled as the second two-parter for Series Five, and persisted in one-part form in Series Seven as The Power of Three.

I also do want to briefly point out that this, more than anything else in the first series, is where you can really see that they’re still working on being good at making Doctor Who. There are mistakes here that are just down to still figuring out the format. Davies falls into an extremely lazy cliffhanger in the tradition of the classic series’ lamest: ones where a danger is spuriously invented and discarded after an episode’s worth of time. The mechanics of cliffhangers and two-parters are things that the new series keeps working on through to the present series, in which Moffat seemingly just gives up on them in despair. But before giving up on them he and Davies eventually developed the realization that you couldn’t just have a cliffhanger, you had to find a way to start the second half in a very different place than where the first half left off. And, on a very basic level, there’s the fact that the “next time” trailer comes before the credits, a wretched decision that got reversed for the very next two-parter.

Aliens of London / World War Three is a great story. It's well-paced, it explores different themes equally good, it provides good characterisation for both the Doctor, Mickey, Rose, Jackie and even Harriet Jones. It has a lot of funny moments, it doesn't treat viewer as an idiot, it's just energetic as hell.
It really is a great script, and in fact, I think this episode is so-called pleb filter. Unironically. Plebs just see "muh farting monsters" and "uhh designs are dated" but in fact it's a great screenplay.

I'm free to discuss. Neo, what do you think?

I think the Slitheen are genuinely bad enough to overshadow the many, many good qualities of the episode that you list. I wish so hard they were just the Zygons instead, because you're right, it's a legitimately good story under there, RTD's political allegory is fairly ballsy for the time (he literally kills Blair in it, that's not even mentioning the raging against the Iraq War), there's plenty of great characterisation, ideas like accidentally going a year in the future and fucking up Rose's family life, these are all great. I wish the episode didn't distract from them with the goddamn Slitheen.

So I'm pretty sure we both agree on what's great about the ep, the Slitheen just trigger me more.

Borealis turns out to be literally invented TARDIS. Machine that travels through space and time, it can see every moment at the same time like time vortex and can travel.

Just watched a Doctor Who Movie.

8th was GOAT, he is such a wasted potential it's heartbreaking. It was hilarious he was the first Doctor so keen on the kissing stuff.

I really liked Grace and the whole background about her. She would be a GOAT companion if 8th invited her over. Although I dont understand why she and lee were revived by the TARDIS. I thought this kind of stuff was impossible in DW?

Eric Roberts Master was so super shit. I despised the entire plot about him which was like: Master is time travelling snake looking puddle that wants to kill the Doctor and take all of his regenerations And then he fails, because he always fucking fails.

I loved the Tardis interior though. It was super comfy with extra comfy on top.

>8th was GOAT, he is such a wasted potential it's heartbreaking.
True, but now you have world of books, audios and comics to hop into! Not quite the same as seeing him on-screen, of course, but excellent nonetheless. (And naturally, McGann reprises his role in the audios, so there's the added bonus of getting to hear his voice for hours on end.)

>I really liked Grace and the whole background about her. She would be a GOAT companion if 8th invited her over.
I agree, she was lovely. She would've made an appearance as a companion in the books and stuff, had the rights to her character not been tied up in a big legal mess. Bit of a shame, really.

>Although I dont understand why she and lee were revived by the TARDIS. I thought this kind of stuff was impossible in DW?
You'd think, but there was a certain amount of leniency with established facts in the movie. Not worth scratching your head too much over, but you could probably explain it away by saying that when the Master fell into the TARDIS' core, things he had directly influenced within his recent timeline were reset or otherwise affected, which could account for the revival of both Grace and Lee. Timey-wimey stuff, y'know?

>Eric Roberts Master was so super shit.
I found him hilarious, and ultimately enjoyable, but as much as I thought his portrayal of the Master was good fun, I do admit it's far from one of my favourites. (The novelisation of the movie actually covers why he turned into a snake - long story short, it was a sort of "death worm" that one could ingest, and upon the event of your death, it'd take an imprint of your consciousness, then seek out another form to merge with and supplant your memories within. A cruel sort of immortality.)

>I loved the Tardis interior though. It was super comfy with extra comfy on top.
Agreed. One of the best console rooms, just on account of the fact it feels so very much like a home.

What's the most forgettable Classic Who story?

IMO it has to be Nightmare of Eden.

I'm pretty sure I enjoyed The Awakening but fuck if I can remember anything about it.

desu the Episodes were a retarded move on Valve's part.

HL2 should've ended right there.

They did it because Valve thought they could put out content on a regular basis, which they obviously can't. Everytime I think of the interview where Gaben is saying how as soon as they get the Orange Box out completed Episode 3 is their main priority, I get sad

i've only ever watched nu-who but i am interested in watching classic who now. what's a good starting point? the very beginning? i'm a little hesitant to just jump in there because older TV from around that time has never been my sort of thing and i also don't know how it was structured back then. any advice is welcomed!

if it helps, my favorite nu-who doctor is capaldi

>>86944439
Spearhead from Space (first Pertwee episode, who has a lot in common with Capaldi) or maybe The Ark in Space (second Tom Baker episode) are good ones
>>
>>86944439
I always say start with Remembrance of the Daleks for most people, since that's probably the most New Who-paced classic story IMO.
>>
>>86942509
Who's the guy on the far left and the guy between the Ice Warrior and the Sontaran supposed to be?
>>
>>86944581
Remembrance is also very continuity heavy, a bit too much for a beginner don't you think ?
I agree with >>86944439, I'll add to not hesitate skipping Pertwee if you don't dig him (as most of his first season is quite slow) and maybe start with Robot for Tom Baker, but knowing that it's not a beginning as worth quality as the episodes following.
>>
>>86944439
At least watch the first four episodes, they're kino.
>>
>>86944439

Talons of Weng-Chiang, Genesis of the Daleks, Caves of Androzani

Is /who/ going to watch Victoria?

Pick an episode for each Doctor from this list.
Decide on which Doctor you liked the most and watch from the start of his run.
Or just watch the stories in this list in any order and eventually fill the gaps.

Other guides exist on the wiki if you don't like this one.

>>86944439
I just started my watch through of Classic Who (had seen a few serials before but wanted to watch them all), and just start with An Unearthly Child. The first part is kino although the others aren't too good.

I finished the first season the other day, and I would probably say the Keys of Marinus is the best serial from it, although I would still watch it all, except maybe skipping Marco Polo since the entire serial is missing and there are no good recons for it

why didn't 12 start regenerating right after he exploded that level of the ship with the cybermen? also, why was bill so quick to just leave him? i would assume she thought he was still alive because she said "where there's tears there's hope." to his body in the tardis. also how did the water alien get 12's physical body to the tardis?

i hope we also get some more time with nardole, or at least some closure. as it is right now it's pretty much just nardole waiting for all of those people on the ship to die and then leaving himself right?
>>
>>86947105
Because he was blocking the regeneration, and we've seen with the Master in Last of the Time Lords you don't have to regenerate if you don't want to, and Bill didn't really know about regeneration, and even if she did was going off with Piss Heather. I agree though, I really hope we get more Nardole, either in the Christmas special or maybe even Series 11, although unlikely. I think Nardie and Whittaker would be a good combo
>>
>>86947250
for sure. i really like that nardole has some sort of idea of what the doctor is doing. it creates something more unique than every single companion asking questions about every single thing which is important to the show, but there comes a point where it should be mixed up and nardole does that really well.
>>
>>86947460
Yeah, I had been hoping for a companion that wasn't a girl from modern Earth for ages and Nardole was the perfect answer
>>
Does the Doctor even rememeber Rose by this point?
>>
>>86948105
Not very much, probably, it has been 1100 years since he last saw her. And even if he does he probably tries to forget about falling in love with her since it was a previous regeneration
>>
>>86948181
I sort of like the idea that it's so long ago for him now that it's incredibly vague for him, and her appearing in his hallucination is just his subconscious. I mean, Capaldi and Tennant are worlds apart.

Still, though, did he really love her? How is that possible? Surely he knew it could never get serious or physical right from the start?
>>
>>86948399
The Tenth Doctor knew her, that's just what his personality is like, other than maybe Eight none of his other regenerations would have fallen in love with her. If he can barely remember her though, how is it that he would have any memories of Susan, when it must have been at least 1500 years since The Dalek Invasion of Earth?
>>
>>86948646
*The Tenth Doctor fell in love with her
Not sure how I fucked that up
>>
>>86948105
Certainly. He's mentioned before that he remembers all his companions. Rose was a big part of his healing from the War. He won't forget that easy.
>>
>>86948399
Hers was the first face his face saw
>>
Was there a specific moment he fell in love with her? Was Nine in love with her? Did Rose love Nine the same way she loved Ten?
>>
>>86949223
The beginning of New Earth they already seem in love. Eccles probably was too smart to fall in love with her, and she might have had some feelings for him but their dynamic seemed to be more of best friends and not lovers
>>
anyone have any streaming links to watch nu who? not in the position to torrent right now and my usual sites aren't working for matt smith's episodes (putlocker, 123movies, etc.)
>>
>>86949373
Why would he be capable of feeling like that toward a human less than .5/100 of his age? Was his love sexual? What do you think did it?

To asnwer the first question, it was the 60s. To answer the second question, it was the 60s.

>>86949898
You'll have to ask Russell that Maybe because she was everything he loved about humanity or something? I suppose from a certain point of view you could say that each regeneration of the Doctor is a different person and as Ten was the one with the shorted in universe life she didn't seem as young to him
>>
>>86923330
I barely read any of the last one, it was just cool to see three of my own pieces of writing in somie sort of collection. Felt nice.

I read one or two though
>>
>>86949223
I've heard it argued that he realized it at some point during the empty child/doctor dances. Rose seeming being quite taken by dashing Jack Harness, makes the doctor jealous and apparently giving love lorn looks up until the kiss. Personally idk, maybe.

Oh, just while you're here - I'm in the middle of editing my shit trips story right now. I've even got a friend helping me pick out a few grammar mistakes along the way. I know you like to check over stories and make sure they're all tidy in that regard, so hopefully this'll reduce your workload a little. I'll get it to you ASAP, just need to finish writing the ending and then it'll be ready.

We should resurrect the book club except instead of books we just read a few pages of Shit Trips every week.

Hey! I like that idea!
>>
>>86949925
thanks for this friendo
>>
>>86949223
I think 9 was grateful, just coming out of the Time War and seemingly lost without purpose, she sort of helped him get his "humanity" back. In Dalek he was straight up ready to kill the thing and Rose stopped him. As the series progressed he gets more and more Doctor-like. Then in the finale he was ready to jump back into his Time War self but has an epiphany thanks to his travels with Rose. Being in that state of mind he regenerated into the kind of person Rose would like, he became this young, attractive, emotional, and very-human man.
So I think 9 did love her, but the love wasn't exactly romantic until he became 10.

"Everybody lives, Rose" still breaks me to this day.
