Remember when UNIT was good Edition

I bring Sutekh's gift of £4
How do we think a UNIT spin-off show in the 1970s would have fared in quality and popularity?
The Doctor could use regeneration energy when he wants since 11.
He eventually got good at it then.
I assume you mean during 4th's tenure.
Is Third Doctor the most consistent era of the show? I do not think it ever gets any high highs, but there is also never any low lows. The serials all seem like solid C's or B's to me, with some kino standout moments within them.
Yeah
Rather than a UNIT show, I would have preferred they went through with their idea of a Jago and Litefoot spin-off.
I would have preferred they went through with their idea of a Jago and Litefoot spin-off.
anything would be better than a UNIT show with the current state of UNIT. Fucking Avengers tower in the middle of London. Why would they want themselves to be that high profile?
Check this out then.
Anons are not talking about a UNIT show now. They are talking about basically doing a spin-off in the 1970s as was floated that would have basically been the show as it was under Third but without the Doctor.
And this.
How the hell does a penguin descend from a Roman??
Time travel. Penguin Frobisher's the ancestor and shapeshifted into a human to fuck some bitch.
it's the dark the future where chuds have finally won and became the dominant force in the dystopian machine started by leftist they have started systematically persecuting everyone, including jailing and killing people for having ever posted anything positive about woke content (anything with non-whites and queers that's not excplicitly negative about these topics) on the internet
after exterminating the entire leftist generation, leftism has seemingly gone extict, but the new generations of young people who never knew any other world than the chud dystopia are slowly starting to rebel, hiding in their own new version of the internet that is outside of chud survelliance and sharing any pre-chud world media that survived through those local indepndent networks and illegal USB's
in this world the Ncuti Dr Who period has become a cult classic (everyone still hates Whittaker and Tennant tho), with Space Babies in particular considered to be a metaphysical masterpiece
Kino!
with the budget doctor who have now they should've had him on the show by now, he would've been a bigger Casanova than Jack and ten combined
Why does 10 have a mustache here?
JNT casts young men he wants to fuck
RTD casts young men he wants to fuck
it's a shitstain after a homosexual rimming
The best classic Doctor wasn't young.
Funny that Torchwood built the Canary Wharf tower and still no-one knew them. UNIT got mogged.
Post this again and receive the punishment.
You MUST NOT question UNIT. Institutions without oversight know better than you. Pleb.
RTDbros CAN'T stop WINNING!
How did they get so high?
Hardcore drugs and crips.
Torchwood didn't have their logo plastered on the side of Canary Wharf.
Challenge: Describe Kate's character without mentioning who her dad is.
Hardcore drug an crip
Blonde self-assured resilient, inquisitive leader of UNIT.
Challenge: Describe the appeal of Doctor Who without mentioning the TARDIS or Doctor.
they didn't
How does penguin from Roman?
The image shows they did.
It can take place anymore it wants to.
ncuti's seasons have had some of the worst viewership in the show's history. I can make a fake chart just like you can
Silurians reveal themselves to humanity and make peace
Never gets mentioned again
This series is weird
Still mad we got fucking Meep before Frobisher. Btw still waiting on that 'boss' RTD.
Boss is Omega spoilers ta
It's funny, despite all the times shit like that has happened, everything always goes back to the status quo so instantly that when the podcast guy was talking to Ruby and Ruby said, "Everyone knows aliens exist," my immediate reaction was, "Since fucking when?!" They mention all the global alien events later on in the episode, but I still find it impossible to believe that any of them actually had lasting impact and consequences for the public at large.
If Omega does come back, Peter Davison should play him.
Boss is Sil spoilers ta
Penguin.
Roman.
How?
What happened to the doctors white bitch?
Did series 5 retcon it so no one remembers?
I think the 11th Hour is hugely overrated, I prefer 90% of other Doctor regen stories. The only good bit is the food jokes and music. Even the rooftop scene is cliched and full of glitches. Not even b8.
People don't watch TV anymore.
It's extra funny when these big world-shaking events happen in non-TV media. Imagine if in Series 1, everyone was talking about the Cyberman invasion that just happened in The Flood comic.
I think it was the finale of series 6 but it was so long ago that I don't remember, it was around about the time that I and the handful of people I knew who watched Doctor Who completely checked out until the 50th anniversary
Racism is bad.
The Eleventh Hour > The Christmas Invasion
blah blah salty RTDfags upset that he left and took david trannant with him
Chibnall and RTD slowly kill Doctor Who
"This is Moffat's fault"
Moffat
creates a super secret incineration of The Doctor because Eccleston refused to return for the 50th anniversary special
Chibs
creates a super secret incarnation of The Doctor because he felt like it
Every Chibnall story is just a bigger, more retarded version of something Moffat wrote. The Flux is just the Big Bang but bigger and more stupid.
If you ever hated on Moffat, you deserved Chibnall.
dugga doo
How come it's acceptable for (usually male) characters to say "omg Tennant/Smith/Gatwa is so HOT!" but nobody ever goes awooga at a pretty lady on TV anymore?
Start of episode:
This is my first time having this black body.
Later that same episode:
shows black woman incarnation that he obviously remembers being long before now
Fucking hack writers.
This was the "be mad at Moffat, and pretend it's not just because you're a David Tennant fanatic" era.
The accusations are always so flaky.
dude, he writes women so offensively!
What are you even talking about? RTD wrote the slab woman scene. RTD wrote a woman whose whole role is to mope about how the Doctor wont fuck her.
but nobody ever goes awooga at a pretty lady on TV anymore
Marxist puritanism. Sam Maggs once whined about the art team at Insomniac giving Rivet "lombax tiddies," but when she got to write a Star Wars novel, it was the most perverted lesbian fanfiction-tier slop that ever touched the franchise.
They're all detestable hypocrites. "If it makes the men horny, it's bad. If it makes me horny, it's good."
Fucking hack writers.
Wait until you find out why the episode is set in a never before seen or mentioned African barbershop.
it's the tone of the episode, and how excited it gets you for both the 11th Doctor and Amy. The actual alien was shit, but that's not the point.
Doctor finds comfort and safety in a nation for black people
Previous season had an episode that portrayed white people as stupid for wanting their own space
Who's ready for the finale?
They're gonna write a villain who notices obvious hypocrisy next season, and then you'll be sorry
Marxist puritanism
Those 3 chapters in Das Kapital where Marx uses Hegelian dialectics to argue that big knockers are a bourgeoisie tool of oppression were so weird
hahahah Dugga Doo
You jest but Marxism has always been at odds with nature. Communism is an unnatural system.
Sex makes people feel good and makes them do crazy things. Every authoritarian system has to make people miserable because it's unnatural.
If it was 2007 dugga doo plushies would be in shops ready for Christmas but that's not where Doctor Who is now.
I still can't believe we're still in the retarded Timeless Child Era of Who. Shit should have been retconned. Chibnall did it to feel important and they're just indulging him.
creates a super secret incineration of The Doctor because Eccleston refused to return for the 50th anniversary special
And because the BBC wanted a big name instead of using McGann.
The audios, books and comics take place in different continuities.
I hope 13 comes back, I love my scronchface waifu and hope she gets to gay kiss Belinda.
Kek'd, very well-crafted bait.
It's part of Mrs Flood's fiction world and never happened.
the BBC wanted a big name instead of using McGann
Stop repeating this lie.
Moffat has repeatedly said that the BBC didn't tell him what to do (presumably because, historically, the BBC doesn't give a shit about Doctor Who), by his own admission Moffat didn't think McGann was a big enough draw.
Moffat literally brought back McGann. Stop whining.
He's a poor actor.
I don't think it's overrated. It avoids pretty much every anything thing about Christmas Invasion
introduces you to Amy and 11 with absolutely no baggage behind either of them
sets up a lot of important plot for the rest of the series in a way that feels like it's just part of that episode
11 is competent except where the tardis is involved, and takes charge of the situation
Adult Amy is annoying for a little while but she gets over it.
Sounds like he would've been the perfect fit for the poor script
She's less annoying than Rose.
so this is the fanbase...
more like fanBASED
You must have me confused with somebody else, unlike all the homosexuals in this thread I dislike Doctor Who.
What's wrong with being straight?
Are you ready to accept that 2010-2017 was the best time to be a NuWho fan and that RTD1 was never good?
River's story was retarded and fan-ficy so nah.
The whole show is fanficy.
Yeah but I absolutely would every incarnation of River.
Love and monsters is in RTD1
Checkmate my chicken tasting sweetheart.
RTD1 was good to be a fan because the quality varied between high kino and absolute shlock on an episode by episode basis. Moff wasn't much different in that regard when he took over.
Chibnall was like RTD1's worst parts with none of his best parts and I still haven't seen RTD2 (won't ever, I'm too "male-presenting" to understand it)
I thought that at the time.
NuWho was never good. It's that simple
Moffatslop was unsatisfying and trying to be too clever, RTD(1) was at least fun to watch with the family.
RTD2 is even more fun to watch with family, my transgender 9 year old loves it
Even the black one?
The best time to be a Doctor fan in the nu-Who era was 2005-2009.
Peak Doctor Who
Torchwood had tons of good episodes, Children of Earth is arguably the best Doctor Who story ever.
Peak Sarah Jane Adventures
Big Finish wasn't complete shit yet
Whereas 2010-2017
Our Lord David Tennant left Doctor Who on the first day
Daleks got ruined
Angels got ruined
Sontarans got ruined
Average episode quality tanked
Class was pure shit
The claw of wokeness started to scar Doctor Who
Got the Yank audience
Retconned Paul McGann from the Time War
First Female Doctor
Big Finish ruined
Alex Kingston?
Didnt her first incarnation only live until like 10?
Because Amy's postpartum depression got her killed.
Well you can check Space babies off already
youtube.com
Gotta admit i didnt think RTD would write the Doctor as hetero in the 'bad' universe.
Love & Monsters isn't even the worst episode in series 2.
>Our Lord David Tennant left Doctor Who on the first day
Gay
>Daleks got ruined
They were already ruined in Journey's End.
booblinda is cute. CUTE!
Is RTD really going to depict a perfect world as a bad thing? It's going to be like man in the high castle where they have to put in a really obnoxious Jew smoking scene to remind you it's actually a bad thing.
The Rani made 15 straight?
No, you see it's bad because people in wheelchairs are persecuted (even though the Doctor has the technology to heal them in an instant)
Daleks got ruined when they made them the opposing side in the Time War.
people in wheelchairs are persecuted
Since when? We have ramps for them.
How does that ruin them? Daleks have had time travel since the First Doctor
How does that ruin them?
Because they're fucking Daleks. Using them ensures that the war is just a regular one but with lasers instead of bullets. Not really living up to the title of TIME War.
Why is she considered the best companion?
Because she was with 4 and it was a good era for the both of them.
The entire concept of a time war makes no sense. It'd be the same as an edit war on wikipedia, each side would just go back to the creation point of the other species and delete them.
good actress (strong chemistry with 3 and 4, underrated comedy timing)
not a damsel in distress
well-developed character
very cute in a middle England kind of way
There's nothing to dislike about Sarah Jane and like the other anon said she had the benefit of being in some of the best episodes of the show's history, plus she starred in the only good Doctor Who spin-off.
Torchwood > Sarah Jane Adventures
each side would just go back to the creation point of the other species and delete them.
Which is why it should've been Time Lords vs Time Lords. Going back to their creation point would erase both sides. Even if the other Time Lords are from an alternate timeline, they'd still have the same creation point.
Torchwood is a fucking mess from start to finish, there's maybe 5 good episodes in the entire thing and the lows were some of the faggiest lows until RTD's return.
Ass taste.
Better than an actual show for children.
a dogshit show is better than an actual show
I respectfully disagree.
Even if the other Time Lords are from an alternate timeline, they'd still have the same creation point.
Because both timelines would have a common ancestral timeline. 2 branching off from one. And now those 2 will go to war for supremacy.
Were you mad that the characters in Torchwood weren't perfect people? Because that's what makes it better.
I was mad that that the characters in Torchwood were dicksucking faggots on screen and in real life, but if that's what you enjoy then who I am to judge?
RTD introduced one of the characters as a rapist and didn't realize it, which in retrospect is pretty funny.
Doctor Who isn't any different.
The pilot episode where everyone was a bisexual rapist was uh something
I feel accepted by my fellow Africans.
Said by actor who literally had to escape the Rwandan genocide.
nuWho
None of that shit in the classic series (or Sarah Jane Adventures)
This Doctor's main characteristic is being flaming
Has to turn the zestyness down to 0 when he visits a country where that would get him the death penalty
At last, somewhere I can be myself!
memory-holeing how shit the Moffat era could be
Can't belive that the black hole of chib and r2 made everyone forget
Kek it do be like that
My favourite was when John Barrowman was behaving like Russell Brand but got away with it because he said he was gay (and pretended to be American)
Why didn't the Rwandan Doctor actually visit Rwanda? Are Nigerians and Rwandans pals?
Not just that, Nigeria is extremely fucking tribal, meaning if the Doctor was the wrong kind of nigger he'd be being necklaced.
Nuwho > classic who
Daleks got partially ruined in Classic post Genesis because every subsequent episode became the "Davros and oh the daleks are here" show
For me, it's Planet of Evil
yeah it was too much, and his appearance in Remembrance was completely unnecessary
Her time on the show is almost over, does Belinda even have a personality/character traits besides 'nurse' and 'wants to go home'?
Remembrance of the Daleks is good.
It's arguably the best anniversary episode the show ever did (depending on how you feel about Zagreus)
She's also very agreeable after her first episode had her being antagonistic with The Doctor
The joke is that Silver Nemesis was the real 25th anniversary episode and it sucked monkey nuts
Doctor Who should look and behave like a mixture of the three Top Gear hosts
Her time on the show is almost over
According to who?
Tonight: I challenge the Daleks to a death race. Let's see which of us is the better racist.
They probably thought Sylv was losing it here.
Tennant’s mockney accent is basically a Richard Hammond impression
This guy should play The Master
youtube.com
Everything that came after Moffat made his era look good in comparison. I wasn’t that into the Moffat era, but he’ll be the only showrunner to come out of NuWho looking somewhat competent (in that he didn’t completely shit the bed during his 7 year tenure).
John Barrowman's let himself go.
The hell, why is the doc a fucking gay black African
It's amazing that as absolutely retardedly shit RTD2 is it's still better than Chibnall.
It has higher highs (hell, it simply has highs) but lower lows.
The show is all about change.
But why's it gotta be shit?
Not saying it wasnt, the quality of the episode does not subtract from it having the daleks sidelined in favour of davros
Can you change it to be good
No, it definitely has higher lows as well. The worst RTD2 episode is Space Babies, which is like Idiot's Lantern/Fear Her tier.
That talk page
holy autism
It's not.
Nothing could be lower than the timeless child. They destroyed the entire lore of the show to the point it's universally agreed it was a bad thing. Do you know how difficult it is to get the racist chud part of the fanbase and the lgbtqa+ part of the fanbase to agree on something?
It is though.
returning classic villains used to have all kinds of dramatic buildup
now it's just SUE TECH... SUTEKH! and FLOODS BRING RAIN... RAIN = RANI!
I think RTD has truly lost it
The Rani's return overshadowed by a little singing bird thing.
The Rani's return was a mid-credits scene. A throwaway.
>RAIN BRINGS FLOODS!
fixed
although even the way she says it is fucked
The buildup to Sutekh is the most dramatic I have ever seen.
Sutekh could have easily been the Beast without pissing on the lore, it's also Ncuti's favorite villain.
Reminder that the Toymaker is just a NEET who wants yo isolate from the universe and play games
The next Toymaker appearance should be as a cute clown girl
Should have been Fenric
Trash. A clear rip off of when Vortis won.

What games would she play?
