Rani edition
/who/- Doctor Who General
Could they really not come up with a better name than, "The Corporation"?
They didn't even discuss the bonus situation.
Why even try to make a fleshed out world? They may have well just called them "da bad guys"
Why didn't the Doctor just fly into the board meeting where the corporation™ were discussing gassing the hellions and give them a botched feasibility report?
Why did he wait for their entire planet to be razed to the ground and they cry about them being mad about it?
Better to keep it vague instead of something used to make the world smaller when it inevitably is Villengard's honey branch.
the doctor and the master can be any gender, it's not restricted to your artificial concepts!
except the rani's always a broad
funny how that works
After not being in the show for like 40 years it's better to not shake things up that much.
RTD knows that introducing the Raj would just open him up to endless pajeet shitposting
Don't you sonic me bloody fuck, okay, I know, I am, I am knowing how to bloody destroy universe alright.
There can't be an episode next week if the doctor just flew the TARDIS into an explosion
DO NOT REGENERATE
DOCTOR ARE YOU MAD
It only ever goes one way. Things that were white become not-white. Things that were male become female. Things that were straight become gay.
Almost as if it's not really about "giving everyone a chance", but about attacking a particular demographic out of spite.
So are the Ranis gonna murder those two gay guys?
So I don't get it, was the Rani just supposed to be the master but hot?
Too insignificant.
pretty much just the master but he a woman, which is slightly redundant now that the master has been a woman.
The master went from female to male though.
What was the explanation for the bi-regeneration again? Obviously it was for ratings but I mean in the lore. I'm struggling to realize why the Rani bi-regenerated other than the fact they paid Anita Dobson to be in the finale.
The Rani was meant to be an amoral scientist. But in practice, Classic Who never really recovered from losing Delgado so getting an evil time lady who can also pair with the Master was the goal.
Rani back
Master Back
Omega back
Rassilon waiting to come back/already been back
Susan back
What even notable time lords are even left to return?
The Monk for a joke and Romana?
Yeah, but brown man trumps white woman.
It's time for Drax to return
Borusa?
Maxil.
Anyone else think the female hellion was cute?
Reminded me of Gwen from Torchwood.
Can we stop referencing characters nobody fucking knows like Suhtehk and Rani. Half the audience doesn’t know who they are we weren’t all born before the revival
Zoom zoom.
we weren’t all born before the revival
You must be 18+ to post here.
It's been 20 years
Rose was 20 years ago, bro.
Shut the fuck up.
Just take the L, bro.
John Simm is hotter than every Rani,
t. fag
Dhawan > Simm
Rani was 1985 what pensioner is still watching doctor who that watched it then
The Rani has been kept alive by everyone online claiming that every character is her in disguise.
Only the female characters.
I guess the new episode went well....
Damn it's not even a shitpost
He's literally one of the biggest shills and he can't even defend it anymore
youtube.com
Delgado > Gomez > Ainley > MacQueen > Jacobi > Simm > Roberts > Dhawan > Skeleton retards
Simm > Delgado
Guess it's time for people to look at the Tardis wiki themselves now.
Gomez that high
Back to Red-dit
Here are your villains for the finale before Omega shows up lol, say something nice about them
If the witch juice made him into a warrior, Why'd he become John Hurt? Why not someone who actually is combat-ready? Or does it have to be some nerd every time?
Do I need to have watched the last two eps to know what's going on in this one
because I don't really want to
Not for this episode but the villain in Lucky Day is in the finale so you should probably watch that, last weeks was an absolute snoozefest though.
Uh Russel T Davies is a hack. Juno Dawson and Benjamin Cook are weird industry bullies with no values. And to quote the Who Cares podcast who have been keeping me sane in the last few weeks, it all feels like a joke. This TV feels like an in joke made at our expense. Sack Phil Collinson, sack Jane Tranta, sack Graham Norton, sack Bonnie Langford, etc etc. Ncuti Gatwa is a gem and we and him are onto bigger, better things. Thank fuck. Doctor Who is evil establishment camp.
Based
What a load of fucking shit.
Been watching repeats of classic Who recently, Delgado is seriously the goat
Tried watching that shit and I just couldn't. Seems too much of a nerd show.
Literally who
It's more based than any of the bullshit they've been sharting out since 2005.
Why do people treat The Rani with such reverence? It's not like she was some big important villain and she only appeared in two classic stories. It's especially weird given the anticlimactic way they revealed Susan (who is arguably a much more important character).
This series is concentrated carrot juice.
It's very slow but it has many cool scenes.
Who won the 803rd Interstellar Song Contest and why was it Dugadoo?
Classic who never had any stories as based as The Long Game.
That's because they're all MORE based than that.
Vengeance on Varos
Why weren't there any established aliens (i.e. Ood or Sycorax) in the crowd?
he's seething about it because the doctor is apparently "neolib" and "both sides" instead of an insufferable leftist lmao
All the old costumes probably got auctioned off those anniversary auctions or were on tour
Time Lord villain.
One of the many Whotubers who worshipped Chibnall then pretended they hated him and started worshipping RTD once he left
Pretty sure he's the guy who also started making up shit about bowlestrek like the dog fucking meme
Missy was cringy shite. Even Dhawan was better
Only notable female Time Lord bad guy until Missy happened.
That's the sole reason for her relevance.
If there was a more notable one that came up like how the Monk got replaced with the Master, no one would talk about the Rani today.
Same way people still talk about Susan and Romana, since there's never been any relevant replacements.
Bi-regeneration was a mistake. At least with regeneration you still keep the character in some form, but they change, and it allows the series to last as long as it did. But with bi-regeneration you get no change plus 1 extra. Death becomes a positive rather than something bad. You don't even get the weird regeneration side effects, the recent bi-regeneration even came with extra clothes for Rani and didn't do the cool clothes spitting thing.
There's literally no reason for Rani to do it since wasn't affected by the toymaker
River
Pond
Flood
Related?
If they manage to bring the show back after this disastrous run, they better make the Doctor a kung fu fighting old man again.
It was completely unrelated to the Toymaker.
Based. Even Trilby has started laying into RTD2 as much as he can without being a heckin reactionary.
For me, it's the Basil Rathbone Master that appeared for a few pages the VNAs
The only ones that need to go back to are you two.
Oh I get it why Conrad's still relevant. He's supposed to be the next vessel for Omega before that doesn't happen and the CGI monster does instead
I think what's supposed to happen is the older body retires and then later dies while the younger one replaces them, also I think Anita was wearing that black shirt under the red suit so I think they did.
VNA? What does that mean?
The new companion has been quite good
Yeah remember when she...umm....errr....
Was the singing alien meant to be the same species as Malpha from Dalek's Master Plan?
Probably because that's the only thing anyone remembers about her - she's the woman Time Lord villain. Shame Missy made that irrelevant.
Virgin New Adventures
Stories by virgins, for virgins
It only happened because of his presence iirc, or was that being able to whack a second TARDIS out of the first one
The Macra
The Master
The Toymaker
Sutekh
The Midnight Entity
The Rani
another episode of "RTD brings back a villain but changes them so much he may as well have made a new character"
Be average normie
sitting down to watch the telly and Eurovision with the senpai n lads
beers
Doctor Who on first
haven't watched it since David T
"corr cant belive dat show is going lets watch"
Utterly perplexed at this shitty DEI slop
It needs to fucking die.
How bout having him convincingly fight instead of the fake shit?
>haven't watched it since David T
RTDtranny
Make episode about the dangers of misinformation
Present historical misinformation as fact in the next episode
what did they mean by this?
didn't watch, did they actually put that in the episode lmao
Yes - a woman tells the Doctor while giving him cornrows and he uses them to escape a maze.
White person says something = misinformation
Bame says something = truth
Stop being an incel chud, anon.
It seems to me like she swings wildly from very natural in one scene to horribly wooden in the next. That "I used to watch eurovision with my parents" bit at the start was a borderline experimental performance.
It was actually just lemonade and dry ice.
Why is /who/ so dead?
We're bongs and it's past midnight.
But Eurovision was on
Sure, but other stuff exists. Doctor Who ain't anything special.
what the fuck was the song about big feet
mentally ill tranny writes an episode where the doctor literally tortures a guy because he.... something...
Rani is Beep the Meep's boss
He never did that to Davros after all he done.
Why does she schizophrenically switch between hating the Doctor to loving him when it's plot convenient?
Feels like RTD drafted "Companion who doesn't want to be a companion" and then forgot he can't write anything other than Rose Tyler.
doctor is gay black man
companion is Indian woman
rani is Indian woman
the master is Indian man
SAAR
Now I want to see a clip.
That episode was the most neo-liberal slop I've ever seen.
NOT afghanistani gets his homeland invaded and his opium poppies stolen
rightfully angry about it
doctor fucking tortures him for hating the military-industrial complex that did it
companion comes and looks shocked at this but then immediately hugs the doctor for protecging her freedoms
the right way to protest is by singing a song on eurovision about how your people were burned alive by the billions
The 2nd TARDIS was due to the Toymaker, the bigeneration was just explained as "oh I heard of this but I thought it was a legend, it's so rare"
who is that in the middle?
The poonani, innit.
RTD2 just proves that Series 1 (the only true kino season of NuWho) and NuWho in general was just a massive fluke based on the right circumstances.
Series 1
a planned out story arc RTD was probably thinking about and refining for years
guest writers that were Doctor Who fans and knew how the show worked
a legitimate character actor in the lead role
2000's BBC restraining most of RTD's fagginess
RTD2
rushed scripts because RTD had to save the show from cancellation
diversity hire guest writers
lead actor only cast because RTD wants to fuck him
unlimited Disney money and no constraints on RTD's fagginess
It's honestly fascinating from a writing and tv production point of view.
If it were a man, they'd have to call him "The Rainmaker"
companion comes and looks shocked at this but then immediately hugs the doctor for protecging her freedoms
This genuinely took me aback, he was literally torturing a guy to death. And they're seemingly just going to move past it.
QRD on the episode?
Not to death, it was enhanced interrogation. He was only going to do it 3 trillion times. A small price to pay for defending democracy.
That was pretty weird yeah. I was expecting her to slap him or give him a speech
I'm feeling very tired and worn down seeing all of my favourite established franchises and characters being taken over by diversity castings.
They never make an original IP. Just steal an existing one and burn it to the ground. Then they double down because admitting failure would be racist...
This would be a more appealing Doctor companion duo
Susan is back
Mrs. Flood is Rani and bigenerates
tardis lands in gay space alien song contest
sponsored by evil corp
guy had infiltrated it and blasted the entire audience (100,000) into space
turns out they were all alright though because just this once rose everybody lives
guys backstory revealed
evil corp had massacred their planet, genocided them all, and burned the planet to the ground all for planet's resources
evil corp was sponsoring gay space alien song contest
so he was going to send a signal to everyone watching, killing them instantly
doctor found out and stopped him
one of the other people from the burned planet sang a gay song and everyone clapped
lol planets still dead though
anita dobson biregenerated into the rani
they're still doing the "bigeneration" shit? why is the old rani such a weird pushover to the new one?
Who's who?
Bet you £100 Susan regens into a brown woman
She wants to lick her feet.
The old one retires like 14 does.
My biggest irritant with this current generation is the insistence of using "Mavity". Pisses me off everytime I hear it.
Doctor can now male permanent alterations to history without repercussions...
I'm all in on brown man.
"I have said if he wasn't my Grandson perhaps I'd be dating him."
never ever see a bigeneration in 60 years of broadcast
suddenly everyone can do it
What's the in universe reason for this? I thought the Doctor only did it because of the Toymakers magic or some shite.
Yeah and her first words will be some shit like "I upgraded! :D".
Remember though, this isn't racist.
I just can't take Ncuti seriously when he gives his "you don't wanna mess with me" speeches.
Him getting shot made or so that every previous incarnation bi-generated too. It never made any sense
RTD must pay
I think you mean she will bigenerate into a brown woman
Oh shit my bad
If she gets hotter then she's right.
Same, it'd be funny if he did one of those and then the villain just pulls out a gun and shoots him.
Isaac Newton is an Indian man
beloved Tennant Doctor is now gay
"bigenerates" (tell me that's not a bisexual metaphor) into a short gay black man
hotter
than a octogenerian
anon that's not a hard bar to pass
though they might still fail it
The Doctor should be at least 6'0" tall. Man or woman.
>"bigenerates" (tell me that's not a bisexual metaphor)
Well bicycles will let anyone ride them.
GOOD MORNING SAAR I AM THE TAJ LORD PLEASE BE UNDERSTANDING I LOVE BOOTIFUL MEN NOW
Yeah he doesn't sell it. Part of the problem is the way he characterises his Doctor has no mystique, if you've been on a night out in the gayer parts of any major English town you've met a half dozen of them. So when he gets all mad you don't get the sense of some ancient alien looking out from behind deceptively human eyes coiling and tightening with wrath, it just feels like a bit of a hissy fit.
A gay man slapped me once and then cried because I simply replied "what you doing you silly poof".
Classic example of over representation in this show
Show's lore has been completely fucked since Jodie.
oh yeah the doctor genderbends now
oh yeah the doctor isn't from gallifrey anymore
oh yeah the timelords don't naturally have the ability to regenerate anymore
oh yeah gallifrey is destroyed for no reason again
oh yeah the doctor race swaps now
oh yeah the doctor splits in two when he regenerates now
oh yeah the doctor regenerates into whoever the most popular actor who still acts now
oh yeah the show is fantasy now
oh yeah the show has musicals now
"What do you mean you don't like it? It's ALWAYS been this way."
I feel like if the bigeneration was a thing only the rani did then I would've liked this a lot more, I'll just have to see if they did her justice unlike the whole Sutekh situation
This'll exclude Troughton, McCoy and Hartnell
bless his heart
Alright lads we all know the show is fucked but how do we fix this?
anything not thoroughbred British, that being Welsh, Irish, Scottish or English, should be at 0.00000000%
Get Capaldi back.
Doctor wakes up in the TARDIS where Clara has fashioned a bandage for his head out of her shirt.
"What happened?"
"Doctor, thank goodness you're alright, you've been out for so long!"
another cracking episode, this series is so much better than gatwa's first...
I'm from a city in Yorkshire and the white population here is 94%
Bill > Clara
Straight white with large breasts > gay black with small breasts
Unironically get Hugh Laurie as the Doctor. He's 2 years younger than Peter Capaldi.
clara
large breasts
Jenna didn't have large breasts, at least Pearl had a nice cake.
I don't want to fuck Bill tho
Don't give a fuck what people say. Would suck em all night.
I'd watch Dr House in space.
He still scrubs up well too. Here is a pic of him in 2025 for a role.
All scenes with Clara contractually require her to t-pose in a padded bra.
youtu.be
As would I but they're not large breasts.
Did she used to be fat as fuck? Why are they so saggy?
She was a little chubby in her early 20s. Check how she looked in Emmerdale.
a city
94% white
I was on the ground during that shot, trying to vacuum them into my mouth.
