I know for a fact that Cloister socializes with another trip outside of /who/. He's just a very shy, and very private person, who doesn't like using "newfangled" social media. He's a jolly person, just a bit private.

>>87371224
I agree with your general point. But I won't have ya talking smack about Amadeus. (She used to thorax stream for /who/. )

>>87371265
Why do I find these mirrored pics so funny?

>>87371222
That's really interesting, and thank you for the best wishes. I don't know why I generally open up a lot, but I consider most of you to be good friends, which is a weird thing to say considering how the majority of people here are completely anonymous.

I guess I've always been pretty emotionally open? I don't know. I'm probably more comfortable doing that since I write songs which are all very emotionally-charged, so I'm kind of used to sharing my feelings with others.

can we stop the circlejerk now

>How long is Paul McGann in Holby City for?
Don't think it's been said anywhere yet.

>Maybe this is his way of distancing himself from Doctor Who
I wouldn't think so, he's very passionate about it, and he absolutely loves being a part of everything. He's still going to cons regularly, and in his interviews he makes it fairly clear that the last thing he wants to do is distance himself from the franchise. If anything, he's spent recent years getting more and more involved where possible. He's always been vocal about his desire to return to the show, should the opportunity ever arise.

it annoys me that while we understandably dont get a /who/ discord, a bunch of trips get their own little private communications, cause it shuts out anons ever getting to know others more indepth like some trips do with each other
id guess some trips even feel the same since thesres a bunch of arbitrary ways discord tags would get passed (in a stream one time, in that gamers league some were talking about doing, in other discords like the reddit one, etc)
just kinda demotivates me from using /who/ when i know it will nevre be the 'full' experience and im just watching people that will get closer to each other when i wont get th echance

WHAT DOES IT MEAN

>>87371741
Anonymous posting inherently means you will not develop deep interpersonal relationships with people, because no-one knows who you are. That's how this site works. You undertake anonymous posting with that understanding.

If you want the trip experience that much, just become one.

i dont, for a number of reasons, im just expressing some thoughts as they come dude, no need to get all lecturing at me about it
and like i said im sure other trips have a similar thoughts as its not a random casual thing to just exchange discord tags

>>87371794
i meant theres no secret /who/ discord, or a regular /who/ discord like twinkanons
some trips have each other as friends on discord
theres a reddit discord with some users too(ehhh)

I don't believe the trips communicate with each other outside of /who/ quite as much as you might think we do.

>>87371772
>WHAT DOES IT MEAN
i dont know but it feels like there might be some sort of deep lore here

>>87371635
Alienating (some of) the fans seems like a pretty bad move to me, intentional or not. He must have known people would criticise and/or mock. Does he really expect us to take it seriously? Besides, soaps are factories. They mine the over 45s hoping somebody experienced will be thick enough to sign up. It's as ageist as the shitheads who don't want actors over 50 in their dramas.

One of the sci-fi cruises claimed it was until the end of the year but another con said twelve months. I guess we'll see.

>>87372027
Honestly, the most /who/ communicates outside of 4chan is the stream. So if you see a stream on, that's probably the best place to go to communicate with us non-anonymously.

It's also comfy as fuck too.

>>87371953
>>87372027
i dont think you, neo, or trips like guy and rob do (either at all or just a tiny bit), but immigrant and edge literally admit they do, and lymerence is on the reddit discord so he has with immigrant at least, though my gut tells me he rarely talks to him extensively

not necessarily condemning or anything, just saying. none of this is particularly important obviously either

You're still getting the /who/ experience.

>>87372133
Yeah, in terms of one-to-one messaging, Immigrant is pretty much the only trip I talk to. But again, the stream is the go-to place for instant group chatting. There isn't much need for an external discord or anything because we have the stream.

>>87372258
good point i suppose. i appreciate that.

>>87372255

I don't think him taking a role in Holby City is alienating to his fans. I wouldn't say so, anyway. As much as it's not a show I would ever usually watch, I'm still grateful to see him onscreen again. It's not as though his appearances at cons will suddenly be swarmed by Holby fans instead of Who fans, since I don't think the vast majority of the Holby audience would be the sort to frequent sci-fi conventions. I mean, it is a bit of a shame that he's wasting his talent on a soap, but ultimately it's his own decision, and no matter how much you or I stomp our feet, it's not going to change what he's chosen to do. All we can do is sit back and hope the Holby writers give him some kino scenes, because the McGann stuff is sure as hell the only bits of Holby I'll ever watch.

>>87372133
You're right in that I don't really speak to other trips much, if at all, outside of /who/. Only two know where to contact me - though I think there's also a couple of anons who do, as well - and there's a third that I'm not sure even knows they know. In terms of actual conversation for Doctor Who stuff, it all goes here, but I admit it's not the only place I post extensively about the show, but that other place is less of a conversation and more like me shouting at the void.

>>87372248
>Eight and Ten crossover when

I think Paul has alienated some of his fans, judging by some comments over the past few months.

>>87372795
Paul doesn't do 'stable' from what I gather so I'd imagine they just nodded and went along with it lol. I expect Steve was pissed and offended though. He left Emmerdale basically feeling demoralised and like he never wanted to talk about acting again, and Paul just decided to rubbish that as an isolated incident. He'll soon find out what it's like to slog your guts out on scripts that don't take into account what you can do as an actor though...

There's something about the audio quality of the Dalek voices in Remembrance that makes it more effective. Maybe it's how rough it sounds - it reminds me of how punk bands in the 70's slashed their really expensive speakers to get more grungy and rough sounds.

That Supreme Dalek was great, much more menacing than the Red or White Supremes from NuWho.
My only real question is this: Is the Supreme from Remembrance meant to be the same Supreme as in Revelation? If so that makes him the only recurring Dalek character in classic Who.

>>87374216
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_cJ9BlMCw8
this scene in particular demonstrates your point perfectly. It's the almost guttural electronic quality to the voices that make them sound so threatening

Imagine the glory of a whole thread of rare mcganns! Shared like a marketplace! Doctor Who McGanns! Big Finish McGanns! Shirtless McGanns! Even the rarest of all McGanns: McgannMcGanns!!!

Its not a time or place to be remembered, McGannon... But...

There was a war. An SJW War. The last Great 4chan War. My people fought a race called the sjws, for the sake of all creation. And they lost. They lost. Everyone lost. They're all gone now. My family, my friends, even that /who/ board. Oh, you should have seen it, that old /who/. The rare McGanns thread would rise in the south, and the streams would shine. The threads on the boards were comfy, and when they caught the light every morning, it looked like the greatest /who/ ever to exist. When the anniversary came, the streams would blow through the discussions like a song.

>the Doctor will never be this /fa/

>Ted Lewis, whose novel Jack's Return Home was filmed as the 1971 Michael Caine hit Get Carter, had worked with Doctor Who producer Graham Williams on Z Cars. Williams was eager to bring Lewis onto Doctor Who, and so “The Doppelgangers” was commissioned in storyline form on January 7th, 1978, and as full scripts as “Shield Of Zarak” on February 24th.

>However, Lewis was not well-acquainted with Doctor Who, and as his scripts began to arrive in late April, it was clear that they needed work. Sadly, Lewis had begun a descent into alcoholism amidst marital difficulties, and was drunk when he met with Williams and script editor Anthony Read to discuss “Shield Of Zarak” (which may also have gone by “Shield Of Zareg”).

>By the middle of May, the serial had been abandoned, and was ultimately replaced by The Androids Of Tara; it was formally rejected on January 11th, 1979. Lewis never worked for the BBC again.

It's just really difficult design-wise and budget-wise to make something like that work. You generally want to have an actor inside of whatever monster suit you've created so you don't need some sort of advanced animatronic system or puppetry set-up, and making a man in a rubber suit with extra legs look like something that actually evolved with extra legs is always hard, but especially so when you've got a tight budget on a show that's not necessarily prioritizing your episode

I know it sucks to have to wait, but the book club is a good idea to allow each and every story to get some time in the spotlight so that none are overlooked. I haven't had a chance to read through the entirety of shit trips myself - just a few of the initial stories - so I probably won't give commentary on anything specific until their assigned book club day, unless I'm asked directly. I suspect it may be the same for others.

Besides, shit trips only just came out and there's a lot of content to get through, don't lose hope!

I'll probably make the official kickoff post in a couple threads' time depending on how long each one lasts, and then one at the start of each new thread until about 24 hours have elapsed (to account for different time zones). The post will list the stories for Wednesday and Sunday along with (spoilered) brief details like which Doctor they star, plus relevant links and general encouragement.

Will it be one story per thread or maybe each thread deals with a set number of pages?

For example if each thread starts with the goal of loosely 15 pages of material it would be 2 or 3 stories or one single story?

>>87377659

I'm considering putting on a trip during my story discussions in the interest of honesty. Nobody likes that one guy going "but isn't it amazing!" To his own story.

>>87378965
Yes. Only on the stuff I wrote. That way I don't have to go "____ anon here!" Every time

>>87378871
I think trying to tie threads to specific stories is a bad idea and would restrict it a lot, especially for anons who can't be in every thread. A more freeform approach where a selection of stories (about 15-20 pages worth on Wed, and 20-40 pages worth on Sun) are the set theme for all that day's threads, means people can start conversations about whatever catches their interest.

>>87379103
I'm not sure how logical a live thread is when it comes to reading short stories that are often less than 10 pages long, not just factoring different reading speeds, but especially considering how tough it would be to find a time that suits everyone (who hasn't already read the relevant stories, that is).

Something similar could work though, maybe having a certain time somewhere in the day where people are encouraged to jump in? What does everyone think?

As a side note, I am a tiny bit conscious of spoilers, but rather than something stupid like asking people to plaster the thread in black bars, I'll make a recommendation that everyone just use common sense, make it obvious which story they're posting about, and browse carefully if they're not caught up.

>>87379448
That's probably how it's gonna go. Having just one female Doctor risks making her seem like a "token female" or "the female Doctor."

>>87379446
She's not that famous. She still shows up in plays and stuff. And Capaldi was famous before showing up.

>>87379448
If 14 is a man, the press narrative is going to be "BBC BACKPEDALS ON RADICAL FEMINIST STUNT".

The only outcome I can see them casting a man as 14 in is if Jodie somehow bombs worse than conceivably possible.

Hmm... I guess I'm showing my nationality then. I've never heard of Capaldi before, but I know Atwell from her time in Marvel shows.

>>87379761
I'd oddly never heard of him either. But he was a big deal to many Brits, so I presume he was well known.

>>87379066
Honestly, if they're going to cast another woman as the Doctor once Jodie is done I'd rather they go for somebody older.

>>87379851
Good point. Two gorgeous women in their 30s one after the other risks falling into a whole new kind of pigeonhole. There needs to be at least as much variety in female Doctors as there is in male ones.

Do you think they'll give a reason as to why the Doctor generated into a woman? Whether he did he subconsciously or not, perhaps he picked a woman because 1) he's emulating Missy 2) he's attempting to be more caring/nurturing 3) he attempting to turn a new leaf

I dunno if those are even a smidge correct, but I think they're interesting to think about

>>87380023
Meh, I don't think it's sexist. It would have to be an older woman that's dignified and strong. Perhaps gives off a 'I don't take no shit' vibe.

>>87380023
>I just can't see an older woman pulling off the doctor
See, in my imagination an older woman (and just generally an older person) actually fits it more naturally than a younger one. There's always an odd jarring aspect when the Doctor is fresh-faced and youthful. But it doesn't end up mattering so long as the acting is up to scratch.

>>87380081
It all depends on whether or not Chibnall cares enough. I don't expect that it will be made a big deal of (they won't want it to look like a special one-off case), but it seems like the kind of thing you could make a subtle suggestion about.

>>87380023
I'm not saying to cast somebody's grandma, just have it be a noticeable difference.

>>87380081
If they do give a reason, it'll probably be as a result of something that happens in the Christmas special, or something that the Doctor is reminded of as a result of its events.

I wouldn't say it would be because he's attempting the "caring/nurturing" thing because... he doesn't have to be a woman to be that, and that idea relies heavily on stereotypes, so I doubt anyone at the BBC would sign off on it.

I think (like this anon said: >>87380240) they won't make too much fuss out of it, but perhaps something in the episode would subtly imply a deeper reason for the fairly drastic change, other than sheer random chance.

>>87380395
IMO the only way for them to do the female doc right is for them to not make a big deal at all out of it. If there's anyone with the Doctor when he regenerates, have them looked shocked that he's now a woman, while the Doctor seems to have no idea what they're talking about and have that be that

>>87380081
She'll be a woman because the 12th doctor is gonna kill himself. The whole story will be about the first doctor accepting his impending death and the 12th to just die because his time has come

Probably the best way since there's been a huge hubbub about the gender change. But I still want wacky hijinks to occur because he's a woman.

>>87380535
Why do you think that?

>>87380516
Yeah, that would be the ideal situation. We've been told numerous times that such a thing wouldn't be a big deal to the Doctor, and I really hope that Chibnall sticks to that. Have the companions react with surprise or amusement, sure, but for the Doctor it should be no more shocking than any previous regeneration.

>>87380516
I know that they shouldn't make a big deal about it, but on the other hand it will bother my autism tremendously if they DON'T address the fact that she'll need to dress differently.

>She doesn't *need* to dress differently, though?

She will if she's going to go hang around in Victorian England for any length of time.

>>87380924

The absolute fucking madmen.

>>87380924
>animating capaldi growing breasts

...someone deserves a raise at the bbc.

I know it's a staple of the franchise and has been since 1966 but I'm kind of getting tired of the regeneration schtick.

It feels like no time at all passed since we were first introduced to Capaldi. It feels like barely any time since we had Matt Smith's first episode. I'm kind of tired of watching three short series then having to go through the whole regeneration spiel yet again. Waiting for a Christmas story where the Doctor regenerates, then waiting over half a year for the new Doctor to premiere. It's really getting old in my opinion. They need to find an actor who wants to stay longer than 3 series.

>>87381302
I don't think it's the "three season rule" that's been a problem, it's how repetitive the last two (soon to be three) exits have been, it's always on Christmas, it always happens at the end of the episode, and it's always done inside of the tardis.

There's absolutely no variety.

>>87381005
Are we forgetting Twelve's extremely casual attitude to the concept of changing gender and the implication that he might've been a girl a long time ago, it's just that he doesn't quite remember? Eleven might've been surprised at it, but Twelve wasn't at all phased by the concept, and Thirteen might not be either.

>>87381111
The Doctor has never dressed impractically for the sake of fitting in unless for some specific reason he's needed to go totally unnoticed - but even then, the clothing is usually still relatively practical should he have to fend off an alien invasion.

Thirteen's attitude alone will be enough to make her stick out like a sore thumb in Victorian England, anyway, and her putting on a pretty dress on won't make a difference to that. When she's there speaking like she usually does to authority figures - particularly in a time where that sort of thing was just not acceptable for women - I hardly think they'll be caring about her dress sense. Besides, Victorian women didn't exclusively wear dresses, and Jenny is a good example of one in the show that didn't.

I mean, really, if the gender thing was going to be acknowledged at all, it should be acknowledged in that sort of context - wherein the Doctor lands in an era during which sexism was widespread and commonplace, and tries to take charge like she usually does. That way, the elephant in the room is addressed, and it can be dealt with on a more serious level, rather than just... fashion dilemmas.

>>87380879
>The general's death by the doctor in hell bent was him facing a firing squad by the man who won the time war, something he knew he could not win. It was basically suicide
That is some extremely tortured logic. A cold blooded execution doesn't become suicide just because the victim didn't run away.

>>87381496
Tennant's and Smith's were polar opposites in every other way though.

>>87381496
I wish the regeneration would happen at the end of the series finale, then we get a taste of the new Doctor in the Christmas special to tide us over until the new series like with Tennant's

Fair enough, though I still would be a bit disappointed if they suddenly made the Doctor start wearing dresses. She's never been the sort to attempt to fit in, and it'd be silly if she started trying that now. And if she has to wear period-accurate clothing... like I said, there's always an androgynous alternative.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see, though. Hopefully Chibnall won't disappoint, however he handles it.

That's a really good example of a Victorian outfit for a woman that isn't overly feminised, but still recognisably not masculine. It's nice!

the show has explained it over and over and over

Ace: The what?

Doctor: "Your species has the most amazing capacity for self deception, matched only by its ingenuity when trying to destroy itself."

Moffat reuses a similar line all the time
Doctor Who is not a heavy earth continuity show, and lie of the land wasnt a fucking attempt at "soft rebooting" for chibnall. None of that shit of past invasions would likely have been mentioned anyway, and the article literally has no actual evidence for its idea.

No, the trend started with 3's UNIT stories, and it was fun for a while, but the show moved on as it should. It's not a sustainable thing.
No new showrunner is going to want to saddle themselves to over a decade of continuity from past showrunners. Instead they will treat it like 95% of the show has treated - theyll ignore it as they should, and do the ocassional handwavey "humans memory is bad lol" line.

DOCTOR 2: Good luck, everyone. Behave. Do not let that girl open her eyes. Amy, later. River, going to need your computer.
DOCTOR: Amy, you need to start trusting me. It's never been more important.
AMY: But you don't always tell me the truth.
DOCTOR: If I always told you the truth, I wouldn't need you to trust me.
AMY: Doctor, the crack in my wall. How can it be here?
DOCTOR: I don't know yet but I'm working it out. Now, listen. Remember what I told you when you were seven?
AMY: What did you tell me?
DOCTOR: No. No, that's not the point. You have to remember.

AMY: Shut up, Dad!
RORY: Amy?
AUGUSTUS: Amelia?
AMY: Sorry, but shut up, please. There's someone missing. Someone important. Someone so, so important.
RORY: Amy, what's wrong?
AMY: Sorry. Sorry, everyone. But when I was a kid, I had an imaginary friend.
TABETHA: Oh no, not this again.
AMY: The raggedy Doctor. My raggedy Doctor. But he wasn't imaginary, he was real.
TABETHA: The psychiatrists we sent her to.
AMY: I remember you. I remember! I brought the others back, I can bring you home, too. Raggedy man, I remember you, and you are late for my wedding!
(The glasses start rattling, very gently.)
AMY: I found you. I found you in words, like you knew I would. That's why you told me the story the brand new, ancient blue box.
(A strong wind blows the balloons around.)
AMY: Oh, clever. Very clever.
RORY: Amy, what is it?
AMY: Something old. Something new. Something borrowed. Something blue.

(The Doctor removes the cloak.)
DOCTOR: The Teselecta. A Doctor in a Doctor suit. Time said I had to be on that beach, so I dressed for the occasion. Barely got singed in that boat.
DORIUM: So you're going to do this? Let them all think you're dead?
DOCTOR: It's the only way, then they can all forget me. I got too big, Dorium. Too noisy. Time to step back into the shadows.
DORIUM: And Doctor Song, in prison all her days?
DOCTOR: Her days, yes. Her nights? Well, that's between her and me, eh?
DORIUM: So many secrets, Doctor. I'll help you keep them, of course.
DOCTOR: Well, you're not exactly going anywhere, are you?
DORIUM: But you're a fool nonetheless. It's all still waiting for you. The fields of Trenzalore, the fall of the Eleventh, and the question.
DOCTOR: Goodbye, Dorium.
DORIUM: The first question. The question that must never be answered, hidden in plain sight. The question you've been running from all your life. Doctor who? Doctor who? Doctor Who.

AMY: Heard there was a freak meteor shower two miles away, so I got us a bottle.
RIVER: Thank you, dear.
AMY: So where are we?
RIVER: I just climbed out of the Byzantium. You were there. So young. Didn't have a clue who I was. You're funny like that. Where are you?
AMY: The Doctor's dead.
RIVER: How are you doing?
AMY: How do you think?
RIVER: Well, I don't know unless you tell me.
AMY: I killed someone. Madame Kovarian, in cold blood.
RIVER: In an aborted time line, in a world that never was.
AMY: Yeah, but I can remember it, so it happened, so I did it. What does that make me now? I need to talk to the Doctor, but I can't now, can I?
RIVER: If you could talk to him, would it make a difference?
AMY: But he's dead, so, so I can't.
RIVER: Oh, Mother, of course he isn't.
AMY: Not for you, I suppose. You're seeing the younger versions of him running around, having adventures.
RIVER: Yeah, I am. But that's not what I mean.
AMY: Then what do you mean?
RIVER: Okay. I'm going to tell you what I probably shouldn't. The Doctor's last secret. Don't you want to know what he whispered in my ear?
AMY: He whispered his name.
RIVER: Not his name, no.
AMY: Yes, it was. He said it was.
RIVER: Rule One?
AMY: The Doctor lies.
RIVER: So do I, all the time. Have to. Spoilers. Pretending I don't know you're my mother, pretending I don't recognise a space suit in Florida.
AMY: What did he whisper in your ear?
RIVER: Oh, that man. He's always one step ahead of everyone. Always a plan.
AMY: River, what did he tell you? River.
(Rory gets home to see Amy and River hugging and dancing around the garden.)
RORY: Hey. What?
AMY: He's not dead. He's not dead.
RORY: Are you sure, River? Are you really, properly sure?
RIVER: Of course I'm sure. I'm his wife.
AMY: Yes! And I'm his (pause) mother in law.
RIVER: Father dear, I think Mummy might need another drink.
RORY: Yes. Yes.

>With this thread left dangled, it’s then largely ignored. When the universe is rebooted in The Big Bang, we never discover if Amy now remembers these events.

>>87391838
Didn't he also say something about dying well for the Vikings?

>>87391838
A few things:

The one on the left is from For Tonight We Might Die the first episode of Class, if anyone was wondering.

The Oxygen one was the lie. The Doctor had no plans for them to die that day, as he already made sure that making their deaths expensive would save their lives. He was just being theatrical, probably a way of coping with his blindness.

The Doctor likes to change extraneous parts of his philosophy to motivate people or solve whatever problems he faces. He either uses or rejects the common needs of the many/needs of the few argument all the time.

with Billie Piper confirming on Twitter earlier that Rose Tyler would still be in love with the Thirteenth Doctor, and the amazing lesbian companion we got in Bill Potts this series, I wanted to have a look at how good the LGBT representation in Doctor Who has been over the years!!

here is a link to the spreadsheet

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1m3jWj57yT4u1Hiuz5eiKuPn_tZ8FiO88HpsAyMPxcXs/

this spreadsheet only covers New Who currently, specifically the main Doctor Who TV series, and Torchwood, but that's only because it's currently all I've seen, so if any fans of Classic Who, the Sarah Jane Adventures, Big Finish, and other expanded universe media have any characters for me to include, along with any I may have missed in New Who (no matter how minor) please let me know so I can include them!!

I'd like to also add that this is not meant to be a post to debate whether certain characters are LGBT or not--you have the obvious confirmed ones like Bill Potts, but with characters such as Clara, or Toshiko, considering they've expressed interest in both girls and guys in a serious context in canon (i.e. Eleven kissing Craig is the kind of thing that won't be counted), they will be marked as Bisexual OR Pansexual, since we don't know for sure their sexuality beyond that they like girls and guys! so please don't give me headcanons, and please don't come here complaining that "OH THAT CHARACTER CANNOT POSSIBLY BE LGBT STOP PUSHING YOUR AGENDA-", I just want a nice civil discussion on LGBT rep in one of my favourite series, so if you can't offer that here, then please don't comment at all, thank you ><

when it comes to rating how good the rep is, I'd also prefer that non-LGBT people not weigh in too heavily other than saying how it was portrayed! I've seen a lot of non-LGBT people who thought Bill's sexuality was "forced", when I and a majority of the LGBT fans I've seen agree that Bill's sexuality was handled wonderfully, I hope that's understandable!!! <3

>>87391838
>implying anything written by P. Ness is canon

>>87391838
Yeah the Doctor is literally putting on an act in the Oxygen scene so this isn't contradictory at all.

>>87391961
>with Billie Piper confirming on Twitter earlier that Rose Tyler would still be in love with the Thirteenth Doctor

I don't think "word of God" counts as representation really. This is no different to "Dumbledore is secretly gay". Given that Billie Piper is only partially responsible for Rose's creation, it's basically a headcanon.

I also think just having a category called "Representation Rating" is a bit too subjective. It would be OK if you were doing it yourself or with a small group of friends, but with a large group there's too much variation in opinion. Maybe split this into "prominence" (in which you could note that Bill's sexuality is highlighted whereas Clara's attraction to women is easy to miss) and then maybe something like "notes" (where you could note some distinguishing thing like "this character's sexuality was treated as a joke").

Some important LGBT+ characters I think you've missed:
Canton Everett Delaware III - gay - two episodes in DW Series 6 - happy ending
Charlie Smith - gay - main character in Class - alive
Matteusz Andrzejewsk - gay/bi/pan - Class - alive

>>87391987
Yup, interesting to see the quotes lined up but there's no conflict.

>>87391961
Has Clara expressed interest in girls before? I must have missed that. Could you please elaborate on that, because I never got the feeling Clara expressed any interest in girls.

<<87391961 (Not You)
You can just let /who/ be dead, you know, you don't have to try and force it alive with bait.

CLARA: Fine, then. Right. Now, where was I? Jane Austen. Amazing writer, brilliant comic observer, and strictly among ourselves, a phenomenal kisser.

CLARA: No, not every day. Sometimes Jane Austen and I prank each other. Oh, she is the worst. I love her. Take that how you like.

OSWIN: Lovely name, Rory. First boy I ever fancied was called Rory.
RORY: Okay.
OSWIN: Actually, she was called Nina. I was going through a phase.

>>87391995
I put Rose down as "confirmed offscreen" because I don't think anybody is going to argue with Billie that Rose likes girls if Billie says Rose likes girls, but it's also not said anywhere in-universe, so it's really really minor but still worth noting

that's a good point! I wanted a way to analyse how their identities were handled, I never intended to share it originally, but your idea makes a lot more sense for something public, thank you!! ^ (and thank you for the ones I missed, I forgot to mention Class)

>>87391961
Interesting! Would you mind elaborating a bit about the representation rating you've given? Im just curious.

>>87392085
of course! so generally Bad = their LGBT identity is very fleetingly used, and most often in a negative way, like with Cassandra;

is a villain obsessed with her beauty, going so far as to mutilate herself into a single piece of stretched skin and murder people

she has just one line that confirms her identity, that she "used to be a little boy" (not the correct way to refer to a trans woman, but at the time the episode aired it was pretty good for what it was)

so overall it's not very good that the only trans character in the series is a murderer obsessed with their beauty, you know? coding villains as gay/trans is also a big problem in fiction outside of DW

with decent/good/very good/excellent, that's more about my own personal opinion, and I'm sure there are LGBT fans who think Jack is amazing rep! (I still love these characters regardless of what I rated them btw)
generally decent is for characters who have an okay portrayal of their identity, but are either mistreated (usually killed), or only have minor appearances

good is for characters that were handled with a good amount of respect with regard to their identity, and can have characters that don't have very good endings, like the real Jack Harkness, whose story showed what life was like for a gay man in the 1940s and was handled well, so he still gets a better rating than someone like River Song, who has a single line about her second wife

very good, is not perfect but well, very good lol, they were handed wonderfully with some room for improvement (I really don't like that Eleven kissed Jenny Flint, a lesbian, and a lot of the interactions between Vastra and Jenny were reduced to sex jokes)

and then excellent is pretty much as good as it gets! I don't think I would change a thing about how Bill was handled, I hope that all makes sense!

>>87392106
I think it should be made very clear on the sheet that it is personal opinion. I honestly take issue with a representation scoring system that requires LGBT representation to be a good guy and not to have died to get a top rating. It ignores non-LGBT as being both good and evil and having died and takes what actually happens entirely out of context. Is that true pure representation or forced representation in a way that LGBT people like? When people look back on Cassandra, they don't tie in her personality with her being LGBT. Or how about "Oh no! River died because she was Bisexual!"? Nope, definitely never heard of that. By requiring it, you not only make them consider that connection (which is probably the opposite of the point of wanting representation and inclusion, right?) but also reduce them to their sexual identity alone instead of what they are like as a person.

>>87392128
all good points~ I've edited that section based on this and another comment, thank you for the feedback!! :>

The Doctor offers you three trips in the TARDIS: one past, one off-world and one future. Where do you go? And which Doctor would it be with?

>>87392168
I would travel with 12th (S9 onwards, I dont think I could handle S8-Capaldi) but I wouldnt say no to any of them.
Past is most difficult to me, I would like to see an important historical moment or meet somebody interesting, but most likely not something related to violence, how intriuging it may be. So... How about the Wright Brothers and seeing the first time that humans did fly?
For Off-World, I would just like to go to an Alien Tourist Trap a big shady market full of wonders from all the Universe, asking the Doctor to introduce me to cultures, technology and food from all over the Universe. (Probably ending in a fight-negotiation against the Judoons for being accused of smuggling).
And I want to go to the Plattform they watched the Earth die, even though that might be a bit cheating as it is technically off-world, hiding with 12th somewhere where 9 and Rose wouldnt meet us and just watch it. It must be such an amazing yet sad moment to see it go ablaze.

>>87392168
I'd travel with the Eleventh Doctor. If I could have other people travel with me, I'd pick Sarah Jane, Donna and Nardole.
For the past, I'd go for Ancient China or Ancient Japan. Perhaps I'd go for a trip to meet the Lumiere brothers or George Melies and see them make the early movies, being a huge cinephille.
An off world adventure will have to be a planet with many different species and cultures. Peladon would do.
The future... I dunno. New Earth post-Gridlock would be interesting or perhaps witnessing the co-existence of humans and Silurians.

>>87392168
I travel with the 2nd Doctor. Jamie is there too
For my trip to the past I would go to see how the very first humans lived.
For my trip off-world I would go a large intergalactic hub sort of city with aliens from everywhere living together. That way I could meet all sorts of aliens.
For my future trip, I'm going to ask to a good future hospital with advanded medical care. Where I would get treatment for some ailments I have.

>>87392168
I'd travel with 12 since I don't think I could keep my hands off 10 or 11.
Past: I'd want to see/meet a real live Neanderthal camp, probably in the Levant or Iberia ~100,000 years BP.
Off-Planet: We'd visit the Ood home world. They seem like such charming and gentle species and their snowy planet looks awesome. Considering how shocking the whole experience would be regardless, I think I'd feel pretty comfortable with the Ood.
Future: I'd like to see the 51st century, maybe visit Captain Jack (kinda cheating since Earth may not be around anymore but I'd be happy with any ol'human settlement).

>>87392168
I'd pick 10 cos he seems like he'd be the best tour guide - most chatty and enthusiastic.
Past - 1989 Berlin seems like a great party plus really cool Cold War politics and spies Future - 2028 wouldn't want to go too far ahead to a time so alien to myself I couldn't understand or one I'd envy not living to see. Would also probably want to see what mistakes we make in the next 10 yrs, ignoring climate change, inequality leading to fascism or communism etc. (Sorry to get political on you all), I also think we're gonna go through a big technological revolution soon and would like to see society beginning to adopt things like driverless cars widely rather than them being completely the norm. Off-world: somewhere with landscape like nowhere on earth darillium looked pretty awesome

>>87392168
Travel with 4th or 8th
Past: Victorian era of Britain or Sumerton Beach Adelaide on the corner of The Esplanade and Bickford Terrace on December 1st 1948. For those who don't know this is where there body of the Taman Shud case was found. I want to know what happened to that guy.
Off World: Mars at the height of the ice warrior's civilisation.
Future: any where interesting

>>87392168
I would go with 11, even though 12 is my favorite, I feel 11 is a lot more friendly and accomidating.
For my future trip I would go not too far in the future to the year 2200, roughly 100 years from my approximate death. Just so i can experiance the immidiate world i would leave behind.
For my past trip I would definatly go and see the first ever human settlements, just as we turned from hunters to farmers 10,000 years ago.
And for my off world trip I would go to an alien bar and have a few space beers with the Doctor, chat and watch all the wierd and wonderful aliens.

>>87392168
My greatgrandmother's death. She was supposedly dead 12 hours after I was born. I want to see it to confirm it. I wouldn't pull a Rose either because I know its a fixed point in time.
I'd go anywhere with intelligent life that isn't Skaro, Telos, Mondas, etc.
and i'd like to see 20 years from now, when my nephew is 22. I'd like to see how he is, if he's safe, etc.

>>87392168
13 - May as well just go with the new one to find out what they're like.
Past: Moon Landing - I'm sure the Doctor was probably there anyway.
Off World: Somewhere fantastic! I really wouldn't have a preference here.
Future: Again no real preference here. Maybe to a point in time where humans start evolving out of our current form, or the first time humanity (aside from the Doctor's companions) leaves our solar system

>>87392168
Well, I can see what Thirteen is like before series eleven airs, so Thirteen would be my choice for Doctor.

Past - Mayans

Off-World - To see a black hole

Future - 100 years from today

>>87392168
Doesn't matter. He won't get you back home without a couple of accidental detours to the other destinations anyway eh /who/?
If I had to pick, though - off-world. Maybe bring Shit Trips along with me to share it with some aliens.

Confession time /who/, I think the Cybermen are much better villains than the Daleks
I can't remember the last time I felt the Dalek make any danger to the Doctor, but lately, the Cybermen was hurting the Doctor for real each time he fights them.
Another thing, Why I will fear the Dalek when the shit there pants each time they hear "the Doctor".
What do you think? You got any similar confessions, or thoughts on mine?

>>87392407
The Daleks are a more formidable enemy, but are also less interesting, in my opinion. They are purely evil and are aware of it. The Cybermen on the other hand honestly believe that they are helping the humans they are upgrading. They aren't purely evil, and are more relatable. I especially like the way that the Cybermen are used to discuss certain issues, like dealing with death, sickness, injury and negative emotions. Even though the Kaleds were humanoid, the Daleks seem very alien. But as the Cybermen are humans in a metal suit, if used properly (like in the series 8 and 10 conclusions), they can be far more horrific than the Daleks.

>>87391961
Tom (Iris Wildthyme's companion) was gay.

>>87392407
I've always found the cybermen to be the most horrifying villains on Doctor Who. Their entire principle is terrifying. And somewhat realistic.

>>87392429
Added, thank you <3 Iris is from the books right??

>>87392423
I think parting of the ways did a pretty good job of making the Daleks scary, but I agree that the Cybermen are probably better. I still prefer the Daleks though, but only out of personal preference. Yes, they've both been pitiful the past few years in general, but the Daleks haven't had a story as effective as "World Enough and Time" in ages.

>>87392462
Yes, but she's got a range on Big Finish as well. Tom is in both formats. Also he's Black.

I think under "appearance" it could be a bit more specific for some entries
I have no idea who the fat and thin ones from series 6 are.

1965 and 1966 Dalek Movies. Just finished both movies. Both included an elderly scientist who developed a Tardis but he was not a Time Lord.
So was the BBC experimenting? At the time was the concept we know as Doctor Who in flux? Anyone know the story on this?

>>87392503
>So was the BBC experimenting?
The BBC wasn't even involved, they just sold the movie rights to Amicus Productions and it was distributed by British Lion Films. The main goal of the film's was to cash in on Dalekmania, and being in color was a big selling point in the 60s.
>At the time was the concept we know as Doctor Who in flux?
Oh yes. Regeneration wasn't introduced till 1966 in The Tenth Planet. The Time Lords weren't even introduced till 1969 in The War Games.
The Dr. Who movies were rough remakes of two First Doctor stories, and almost all fans consider them noncanon because they don't fit in with established continuity.

>>87392500
>I have no idea who the fat and thin ones from series 6 are.
From A Good Man Goes to War <3 I see your point tho! I shall add some fixes!

>Also he's Black.

Hi guys. I am thinking of episodes that would be good to show in a film class or a film club: here's my list so far
Vincent and the Doctor- this episode has never gone wrong for me. It's emotional, funny, and beautifully photographed.
Midnight- it's not my favorite episode ever, but it's incredibly tense and well directed, if dark.
Blink- another great episode, but I don't seem to love it as much as everyone else. Still, I think it's worth a watch.
The Eleventh Hour: this episode is a little longer but everyone I know loves it.
The Girl in the Fireplace: It's another very well scripted, acted, and directed episode. Might be a hit.
The Impossible Astronaut: It's creepy, funny, and just a generally great episode of Doctor Who
(not sure about this one) Extremis? It's actually an incredibly good episode (a very strong 8/10), but I'm not sure if it's a bit too weird with the Monks.
Oxygen is also a VERY well written, acted, and directed episode, but the cliffhanger was kind of cheesy and the resolution was a bit quick.
Any other suggestions? What do you think about the ones I mentioned? I don't think I should show Heaven Sent because you wouldn't really feel the impact of it if you aren't already a Doctor Who fan, but it's still an incredible piece of experimental television.
Thanks for reading and God bless!

>>87392750
Midnight
For a film class or film club it has to be the choice for the very reasons you give.
It's an intense bottle episode, practically a masterclass in how to build tension and how to give an audience the heebie-geebies with very little in the way of outlandish effects or sets that may be beyond the reach of those looking to start out in film/TV. It shows what can be done with very little.

>>87392750
Sounds all right. If you're thinking about adding a Classic Who story, maybe show Ghost Light.

>>87392769
I love that episode, but I don't think you can fully appreciate it unless you're a fan of the show. Midnight is awesome, but once again if you don't know who the characters in the reveals are it wouldn't mean very much.
Midnight is actually a great episode! I'd probably show the final scenes of Midnight before, to give a bit of context. Thanks for your suggestions and God bless!

>>87392750
You need at least one Nick Hurran-directed episode in there if it's for film club. The God Complex or The Girl Who Waited would both be good picks.

>>87392778
OwO ghost light?

>>87392794
>Midnight is awesome, but once again if you don't know who the characters in the reveals are it wouldn't mean very much.
Wot?

>>87392794

what characters
what are you talking about I don't get
Midnight requires really little to know before watching

>>87392806
Hello, can you please expand upon why Nick Hurran would be such a good choice? If it's too much trouble don't worry, I'd just like to hear your thoughts! Please and thankyou, and God bless!

He makes more ambitious choices with the direction and editing of Doctor Who than many of his peers. This is particularly on display in The God Complex with its fast-cutting hallucinatory sequences, the use of the security cameras, and the distortion of what we perceive as real.

>>87392901
whyd moff switch to talalay later
ftr i like her more but its interesting that he stopped using nick

>>87392941
I don't think he was picky, chances are Hurran was just less available and Talalay was so helpful they kept her on.

>>87392961
talalay makes the placement of things make a lot more sense to me, i dont know how to describe it right, but in the s9 and s10 finales especially i just grasped the actual location of everything way better than i do with most episodes
also i read in DWM shes the only newwho director who actually came to nick briggs ADR sessions for the daleks and he was stunned by it as nobody ever bothers
