No Doctor Who thread
Doctor /who/
Doctor Who is dead.
I will continue to watch it, even at its worst! Just because my life is that boring.
We were hoping the show would follow our example and go back on hiatus :(
Any new who worth watching?
the TVM. that is all.
Doctor pussy
Yes. Series 5
don't mind if I do
Man, Doctor Who really went downhill after this
Page 8
It's over
Will there be any hope when the show comes back?
become the first woman to take over an iconic role
immediately wants to quit to spend more time with her family.
Why do women do this?
[I dunno face]
DOCTOR 'WHO CARES'...
QUICK! GET BACK TO THE RE-TARDIS!!!
actor is young
doesn't want to stay because muh typecast
actor is middle aged
doesn't want to stay because muh family
actor is old
doesn't want to stay because muh too tiring
just Moffat's era.
Sounds like they should get a real job.
the only actors who could really stay are the one who played the Doctor as themselves, ie Tom and Pertwee.
the problem with playing the Doctor is that unlike with any other show the actors know right from the start that they can quit at any time with no consequences for the show itself. it's a privilege they want to use just for the sake of it.
THREAD: Final revivification-protocol initiated
I think Tennant would be happy to play the Doctor forever, and only stepped back because as a fan of the show he respects the tradition of regeneration
Ncuti Gatwa is unironically pretty good but I feel like Russel writing for him has been terrible, dot and bubble, rogue and the church on ruby road are really the only episodes that I would say stands out to me
on an unrelated note I'm glad that he got to be the doctor though, the high school he been to is fucking horrible and I'm glad he shit talked it on the news, exact same shit happened to me at the exact same place so I may be a lil bias
"Ey Yaz, yer minge is givin' off a right fishy pong."
hire actress
don't let her view ANY of the previous material have her just wing a character she doesn't know and has no context for
she literally has to put on the guise of a beloved character and just...try
does poorly, leaves the role worse than where she got it
not a positive thing to possibly spin about her season
The deck was stacked against Ncuti but him and RTD going full
Let's make it GAY
Was NOT the answer. Gay is never the way forward. Leads you right to shit.
She's cute. Her stupid, STUPID tattoos always making it so that she has to wear long sleeved wardrobe is incredibly distracting and I really don't appreciate it. Makes the character feel one dimensional and not like an actual person. Cute, inoffensive, but just...like, a prop. A doll. She bothers me.
A doll
True, some of RTD's best work was conflict between 9 and Rose, or Donna and 10.
you know after all these years of nuwho I still haven't been able to make up my mind if I'd nut quicker inside martha or clala.
hire actor
he's a great fan of the original series and has dreamed of playing the Doctor his whole life
convince him that actually he has to simp and mourn and long for an average British girl in every episode as if this was an artsy pseud romantic drama
you can see him try all he can to make the actual character survive behind the quips and shit writing
does poorly, leaves the role worse than where he got it
disgust him from the role to the point that he doesn't want to hear from it ever again
this show needs to be put down. British public needs to rise up and voice that its a turd, instead of it being the case of "emperor's new clothes" and everyone calling it
an institution
>does poorly, leaves the role worse than where he got it
Terrible take. Capaldi was fantastic as the Doctor, and elevated a lot of mediocre scripts. He left because he had his fill and saw the writing on the wall. Also, his best episodes are literally the best episodes of the entire show.
For me, it's Marfuh Jones
he was fantastic at being Clala's assistant who tries to be the Doctor on his own.
when's the next episode lads?
the ratings went down during his tenure.
April 12!
cor thats next week
only 2 months until the final episode of doctor who
he respects the tradition of regeneration
Introduces Bi-generation
God Tennant is such a fag now just like RTD. When they were coming back I thought who was going to be good again. Nope, just proves that you can lose your mojo and "current year" is a cancer to artistic vision
it has always been shit. remove your nostalgia goggles.
Jenna is superior but Jodie is also quite the cutie. Never watched Doctor Who before btw
wot if ya girlfriend was a slab you facefucked
I still can't believe this
NuWho is supposedly a tremendous success and a gigantic cultural phenomenon in Britain, in particular for its main target audience which is young girls
almost all of the actresses who play in it have never watched it before
hmmm…
You have to know the market. And you write for your target demographic and core consumer of your product, not for the people YOU just hang around with and WISH liked the show so you can have conversations or something. A gay man writing like an arrogant entitled woman? RTD is really no different from Kathleen Kennedy or Jennifer Salke. Get rid of him. He's compromised on every level and will only degenerate.
