Only good thing to come from this is I'll feel slightly less guilty for jerking off while thinking of the doctor

Piper > Capaldi
want omega to return for years
it happens
its this
Is this divine punishment for my hubris? Or is Russell just fucking stump
I assure you dear viewer the doctor turning into his former love interest is perfectly healthy, wanting to be your partner is a (cute and) valid expression
I miss when regenerations actually meant something and defined an era of the show
Are you the docta?
Which Doctor has the biggest penis?
what in the sissy AGP hypno is *this* plot arc?
Capaldi, it's like an Evian bottle apparantly
Jodie
Colin Baker and Whittaker support it. Tennant thinks it brilliant. Eccleston disappointed that Piper is working with RTD. Tom Baker and McCoy are probably not locked in enough to know about it, but would find it retarded if you explained to them. Davison, McGann, Smith, and Capaldi all think it is absolute bullshit though are either too polite or career savvy to say anything strongly against it. If they were here Hartnell and Pertwee would be utterly appalled at what has become of Doctor Who and would straight-out express so, whilst Troughton would regret supporting the possibility of making the Doctor a woman.
SPOILERS
Doctor Who returns in 2027
15 turned into Rose because of the regeneration energy pushed into the heart of the Tardis.
Rose's life force is bonded with the TARDIS following the events of The Parting of the Ways.
when the regeneration energy was pushed into the TARDIS the Doctor got a little something back.
several scripts have already been completed. Including 2 from Steven Moffat and 1 from Charlie Brooker.

Here how they want to do a GotG style movie with Omega as the main villain
Omega embodying his classic design with cool anti-matter powers
Get shown amazing concept art
Now he's a fucking skeleton and dies in seconds. What a fucking insult.
billie piper sitting next to eccles going SACK RUSSEL T DAVEHS
Ncuti Gatwa is the worst Doctor we've had so far.
There will always be a group of people who will champion him because he's gay, because he's black, because he's an immigrant, etc.
Set those aside: he is a badly written, badly acted Doctor. He only presided over two half-seasons, and his presence in each of those half-seasons was infrequent. The actor put in 0 effort to immerse himself into the role, to learn about the show or its history, to treat it with respect. He even told fans to go away and watch something else when they criticized the show.
He looked overly groomed, shiny and greasy. He dressed like a runway model trying on different outfits every episode, which is awful for a Doctor. He was not anachronistic. He did not feel ancient or dangerous or wise. He had no clear arc, his character traits did not shape his stories. He behaved like a slightly creepy overly excited gay guy in a Soho nightclub who wants to slip a pill into your drink and drag you into a bathroom. The best episodes ended up being the episodes he doesn't have a major part in. His accent was all over the place, bizarrely alternating between Scottish and Rwandan and English and Jamaican depending on the sentence and word.
Shit acting. Shit characterization. Weak era. Stunt casting.
This is the worst Doctor we've had so far.
wtf i love nu-omega noiw
the master should regenerate as david tennant and they should have sex with the doctor saying this was what he wanted all along
They got it all RIGHT
Ncuti > Tennant
He's better than 6, 13 and 14.
Are we back to having gravity?
This is the worst Doctor we've had so far.
That's Whittaker. Make better bait faggot
In the end, I was surprised at how much I liked Bill.
played it for the first time last year, fantastic game
Be honest /who/, would you sell your country out for fish pussy?
The Doctor is literally just Rose
Lol
I would give my country out for free desu.
I mean, man, Moffat has issues as a writer, but RTD's good decisions are things you can count on one hand (and possibly weren't his ideas).
Moffat had retard moments but he really writes for the sake of storytelling. Even the retarded bits were overwrought with meaning. The show no longer has that, everything is meaningless noise.
My country's England and there is already no England now, so yes.
Did you know she was a lesbian, it didn't come up very often in the show but there were a couple of hints. It really surprised me when I found out
We didn't get bingo bros.
first black Doctor
make him gay
make him cry all the time
dress him in a skirt
make him sterile
make him sacrifice his life for another man's child
after all of this turn him into a white woman
What did Russel mean by this?
For me?
It's Eccleston
Eccleston > Baker
15 is the first Doctor that doesn't meet the Daleks, Cybermen, or the Master.
tfw the guy who stole my girlfriend turned into my ex girlfriend.
Yes. I told you all. Now you believe me.
Ryan Sinclair, why the fuck are you dressed like such a weird fucking faggot now!?
This is the first time I've seen this Doctor speaking and his acting is terrible.
youtube.com
“Oh hello” who is that said to?
Women really do age like milk, huh?
Billie Piper is a English Rose slag and her first episode should be her being impregnated on-screen by Muhammed Goatfucker so the BBC can reach their DEI quota.
Their half-caste child will be Doctor 17, they will personally employed by Blackrock.
Surely Ncuti was rock bottom for the franchise, and there's no where to go but up now, right...right?
13th makes a cameo is correct.
'The first thing you should know about me
is that I'm a whore.'
A Doctor jumps in a space ship and travels throughout space & time solving mysteries. For a while, he turned into Peter Capaldi, who acted as Dr House M.D. for a few seasons, before turning into woman Doctor and then Foreman.
wouldn't it be the other way around? 13 is garbage
I WANT TO GO BACK
I still don't know what that accent is
Top tier

it occurs to me 13 told 14 to flip a switch about a phenotype or whatever. this was 13 trying to make rose happen
the doctor is meant to be a bit scary, eccleston or capaldri capture that well, even david tennant was a bit too "pretty boy" for it
Well I liked Gatwa and am sad he never rescued Rogue.
mickey's real lucky he's never gonna show up again otherwise he'd have to see this shit
Trose just didn't exist because Conrad can't imagine a bloke called Jason but he can imagine a cripple who doesn't need medication in a rocket wheelchair
???
My country would call me an incel so yeah probably
Season 3 Episode 1
Karlach'll rescue him from Avernus
I enjoyed this season for the most part and then they hit me with maybe the worst finale in the show's history. Fire RTD.
these days, I'd sell out my country just to watch London sink into the sea.
MY GIRL GOT COMPLETE FUCKED BY THIS SEASON, WTF RUSSEL, THIS IS MARTHA ALL OVER AGAIN
why is he in a dress already, was it intentional and he wanted to be a women
Here's your new Doctor bro
bros...
I forgot about the rocket wheelchair.
Post 16th Doctor pokies
Whittaker
good tier
this was 13 trying to make rose happen
It was actually her trying to make Yaz the 16th Doctor
I literally stood up and punched the air when Jodie came on.
why is poppy so fucking ugly
Okay the soundtrack is cool and Joy star thing is kinda neat I will admit
Smith > Eccleston
You just know Russell's annoyed that Noel and Barrowman got cancelled so he can't have either hit on 16
IM PREG NATE
Neanderthal genes
Surely making the Doctor a woman is rock bottom for the franchise, but the motivation behind the decision aside there's no where to go but up now, right?
Surely Timeless Child is rock bottom for the franchise, and there's no where to go but up now, right?
Surely bringing back Tennant is rock bottom for the franchise, and there's no where to go but up now, right?
Surely bigeneration is rock bottom for the franchise, and there's no where to go but up now, right?
Surely baiting Susan and how badly they handled Sutekh is rock bottom for the franchise, and there's no where to go but up now, right?
Ok. Be totally honest /who/.
What are the chances that RTD casts himself in the next season?
I have a really good idea for a Doctor Who villain.
How do I get a script to the BBC without them stealing it and not crediting me?
Make an episode about a Chud God creating a completely heteronormative society
All women are fine with it
One starts doubting not because she was reduced to baby factory or something but because she realized she never gave birth
What did RTD mean by this last week?
I know Barrowman got cancelled by Noel, what did Noel do to get cancelled?
Rwandan-Scottish
SUP BABES AM THA DOCTAR!
The actress's performance I feel mirrored many if our reactions. In a way, we are all Poppy.
She hasn't looked like that in 30 years
wake up
it's December 25th 2013
the last twelve years were just a Turkey-induced fever dream
'Introducing Peter Capaldi as The Doctor
'E'S OOGLEH
regenerating from a black man into a character the Doctor explicitly referrred to as a "stupid ape"
Bit insensitive
Shame that Eccleston refuses to deal with RTD and the other Bad Wolf goons otherwise that would be a nice story to have, 9 and 16...
We are all his children.
Dye your hair pink, buy a wheelcheir and pretend to be a autistic transfolk
They will even fucking credit you in the episode
If Barrowman hadn't been cancelled he would have probably been 16 instead of Piper.
Write legally distinct DW, and call him "Inspector Strange" or something.
Daleks come across Billie in season 3
E JA CU LATE!
Fans: Why you gotta turn this show to shit?
RTD: Because I want to, because I want to.
I haven't watched the episode, or for that matter the season, what was her end story?
Funniest line of the season
Cancelled for sexual misconduct and bullying allegations.
Hasn't had any work since the allegations came out in 2021
they just hate the fans at this point
Belinda's entire character arc was wants to go home
the only reason she wanted to go home so badly was because of a child that didn't exist
Huh? So was she always a milf or was that only after the Doctor committed sudoku?
I like Jodie a lot better when she's not expositing like she's talking to a toddler
I just want a simple era again. no more massive lore changes, just the doctor traveling in the tardis with a companion.
this is where we're supposed to be, bros. It not right...
conrad hates the disabled so much they're all homeless
cannot imagine the transgenders at all somehow so they completely cease to exist
still gets sad over the idea of flooding some 3rd world countries though
he's a weird bloke
Followed by swelling music so loud, the line is the last thing I ever hear.
Bravo RTD
Just thought of something. WHAT IF 16 comes across the Daleks or the Cybermen and they identify her as Rose Tyler?
This is now a possible regeneration
no massive lore changes
posts an image with the War Doctor in it
Bruh why not an older Mcgann coming back fighting Faction Paradox in their cool masquerade masques in venice :(
Or Richard E Grant against the great vampires
Something dark, a bit fun and well planned with actual good actors.
would
It's actually commentary on David Blunkett's New Labour department of education
what was her end story
I'm not sure and I watched the entire episode. :(
White man bad
FACT.
Moffat would've actually used Omega in an interesting way.
FACT.
Moffat would've actually had Susan appear in the finale instead of once in the Eurovision episode.
FACT.
Moffat wouldn't have wasted the final 15 minutes of the episode on Ruby needing to convince the Doctor to kill himself. The Doctor would've took notice of Ruby's concern and went off to kill himself anyway for his thread.
FACT.
Moffat wouldn't have ended the season with 4 individual characters getting cucked.
Total Moffat victory.
Mad Larry would have an aneurysm
why did it just say introducing Billie Piper and not Introducing Billie Piper as the doctor
IS SHE THE VALEYARD
Since there were a bunch of allusions to 1984, I feel comfortable saying she was always a MILF.
Because I want to, because I want to.
lol
she was a qt back then
Because the show is written by an old gay bloke and his orbiters.
I told you Chibnal was the problem
12 episode minimum 1 hour long.
The War Doctor is nothing compared to now and it led to an interesting dynamic.
Timeless Child and Bi-Regen are just unnecessary and overcomplicates things
Moffat wouldn't have ended the season with 4 individual characters getting cucked
Yeah, he would've had at least 5 or 6.
It's a mixture of gay, Glaswegian, and African, with a light sprinkling of what they call Multicultural London English.
From the pleats it's meant to be a kilt, but because they didn't bother with a sporran it looks ridiculous. They must've had him wear trousers too because he doesn't have the legs or the attitude to pull it off.
tardis.wiki
Physically, the Sixteenth Doctor was female-presenting
how angry do you think they are that the ratings prove every time they put a non white man in as the doctor people hate it
cannot imagine the transgenders at all somehow so they completely cease to exist
See, this is the thing: if you disagree with a troon and say they aren't a man/woman, they say you're "denying their existence", which is absurd
If a guy comes up to me on the street and says he's the reincarnation of Napoleon, and I say "no you aren't mate", I'm not denying his existence; I'm disagreeing with a claim about the nature of his existence
The War Doctor is nothing compared to now and it led to an interesting dynamic
You're not lying to us you're lying to yourself
When the Doctor bigenerated, Ncuti and Piper are in the Valeyard path, whereas the Tennant Doctor is the real Doctor.
Next season of Doctor Who is just McGann as 8th and it gets revealed everything from 2005 onwards has just been some hallucination or abnormal timeline created by Faction Paradox bullshit.
The Chibnall era was way more boring and beige, but this RTD2 era is way more retarded and infinitely more haughty/arrogant. Does that make sense?
So you are telling me that Billie Piper doctor with a large penis is possible?
Billie Piper's first episode is gonna have massive viewing figures
Half of this series was clearly just lashing out over that very fact.
So I guess the next Rani will have regenerated out of the pile of Omega dung which used to be the Jeet Rani. wtf Russell that shit's racist, dawg!
I'm The Whore, the definite article, so to speak.
I just want this show cancelled, that's all I want
Shortly after The Reality War aired, Big Finish Productions announced a flash sale on audio dramas featuring Billie Piper.
He was made weirdly sympathetic.
Explain how instead of being a massive faggot
Not happening.
So what even was the point of Mel being back for the two finale episodes, aside from 1 scene where the Rani insults Mel
She did more in the Sutekh finale.
Her face does actually evoke the Rani, 2bh.
We'll never have that again unless the show reboots again or someone creates a legally distinct ripoff.
Remember when Doctor Who was for kids? Not old diehard fans. There were some bad episodes in the Moffat run, episodes I hated, but they still had a sense of wonder and adventure. This show is so far now from that Christmas Carol special I saw in elementary school.
I don't think it will. Why would anybody who watched it 20 years ago jump back in now if they didn't already when RTD came back?
She's not even an A-list celebrity so it's barely stuntcasting for anyone who wasn't already a Doctor Who fan.
gayboy
And then a massive dropoff. Memberberries can only take you so far.
Shortly after The Reality War aired, Big Finish Productions announced a flash sale on audio dramas featuring Billie Piper.
we love mon... we mean stories.
no the next Rani regnerates outta mrs.flood
They'll reveal she Wished herself out or something
Wrong
"Speaking of the surprise twist, Russell T Davies adds: “Billie once changed the whole of television, back in 2005, and now she’s done it again! It’s an honour and a hoot to welcome her back to the TARDIS, but quite how and why and who is a story yet to be told. After 62 years, the Doctor’s adventures are only just beginning!”
That last sentence. Is RTD going to actually do something based and reset it?
She should've defeated Omega by splashing carrot juice on him.
it is the ratings and audience who are wrong
will definitely happen
Be Russell
Dedicate all of "Season 1" to the hoax of a Susan regeneration
Bring back the original Susan in "Season 2" as a cameo in the Eurovision episode which isn't payed off in the finale
Carole Ann Ford ain't gonna live forever, fuckface!
There is no way to ever know, but I wonder what percentage of those that were watching were earnestly watching. The figures are even more poor if a significant chunk are just hate watching, or to laugh at it, or are mesmerised by the trainwreck.
Massive "figures"
It's not the biggest deal for there to be a secret Doctor who existed over the ten or fifteen year period the show was off the air. Hurt was also enjoyable to watch in the role.
The problem with the War Doctor is it's just so underbaked as a concept, and it should have been Paul McGann.
I don't really believe he was ever a monster, or a great warrior, or did anything that Colin Baker wouldn't have done, so what am I supposed to be shocked by?
Depends on if the 1st episode is good.
Genuinely feel bad for her. I'd rather a cute brown female Doctor than Rose again
He's right.
RTD literally still thinks its 2006
Villain does cringey dance to outdated pop music
Trash endings where the villain appears for 5 minutes before a shitty plot device reverses all the damage and everyone is fine.
doesn't call her the Doctor
she's a retard irl
Reminder that Season 1 and 2 were so badly written and full of weird 4th wall breaks, that people convinced themselves it was all gonna lead to an arc where the Doctor find out he's in a TV show
Just end the show
I don't lmao stiiiiiiinky enjoy LIL SNEED
How will the Bogtor's outfit look like?
secret regeneration so unspeakably terrible that the Doctor locked him away in his subconscious
haha he's actually a quirk-chungus timey-wimey just like every nuDoctor
It's not an interesting dynamic. It should've been Eccleston or McGann.
And it was a massive lore change for no reason other than Eccleston said no and Moffat didn't want McGann.
so did Whitakers and then people just 'noped' out of there.
I'd have preferred the brown tomboy soldier version of her
Would've preferred Nicola Bryant cougar doctor.
Giggity
where the Doctor find out he's in a TV show
They did that earlier this season.
Fell for it again award
How many seasons will Piper get, hard mode: not zero
15 kills himself
16 is female
RTD just can't stop ripping off superior writers can he?
doc who trying to convince me not to be racist
Then who was space baby?!
she carks it before next season
RTD throws the whole storyline out
i can already fucking see it
So non threatening black guy as the companion?
to be fair it did lead to a scene where he found out he was in a tv show
a cute one!
is there really nobody in Bad Wolf Studios with the balls to step up to Russell and tell him the show is now a complete shitstorm with nowhere to go?
"After 62 years, the Doctor’s adventures are only just beginning!”
That last sentence. Is RTD going to actually do something based and reset it?
Yeah, it's going to be a soft reboot, they'll even call it series 1 to show that it's a perfect jumping on point for new viewers!
Stained with vinegar from the fish and chips shop
yes, I was low key referencing that.
Well caught.
she's wearing the inverse of Ncuti Doctor's.
he HAD to put that dress on because that's his flesh-clothes. part of the regeneration when it's cross-gender.
She will regenerate into Tennant in max 3 episodes
Remember when the Doctor had heart to heart moral discussions with his arch enemies?
and they looked like their original selves and weren't giant kaiju monsters with 2 seconds of screentime.
Remember that rumour that they were gonna have a new Tales of the TARDIS for Time and the Rani with Bonnie and Sylv. Bummed that didn't happen but I'm glad they didn't kill Mel off.
Unironically fucked over cause Russell clearly intended for Millie to still be the main companion this season until things changed.
Then got baby trapped so she doesn't have to come back again. Lmao
Ur mum m8
When is he coming back?
k9 for romance
this aired at the same time as Eccleston... take me back
Fans always come up with better concepts than the writers and showrunners. This is nothing new or unique to Doctor Who.
It's no secret how much I love this show, and I have always said I would love to return to the Whoniverse as I have some of my best memories there, so to be given the opportunity to step back on that Tardis one more time was just something I couldn't refuse, but who, how, why and when, you'll just have to wait and see
one more time
Poppy. There's two Poppies now.
As the 18th Doctor
Started watching Doctor Who with the 2005 reboot (my dad was excited because he used to love it as a kid), have fond memories of the David Tennant era when it was a family show that everyone watched, and got bored and stopped watching during the Matt Smith era.
Heard through the grapevine that Rose is returning as The Doctor and this has got me legitimately excited. Probably because I'm still nostalgic for when the show was actually good.
Every single American whining in this thread needs to shut the fuck up. This show is not for you, you probably started watching during the Smith or Capaldi eras when the show had already gone to shit.
She bigenerated.
Billie Piper wilderness years, kino inbound
Haven't watched the episode yet, just saw screenshots on twitter. Are they real?
Fantastic ep
Billie once changed the whole of television, back in 2005
how?
Billie Piper is The Doctor
Inter are getting spanked by PSG
Bros... ;_;
Is it worth watching?
big tits helped convince dads to watch dr who with the kids
fuck off boardie.
Formerly Mavity.
yes
Blacked
Still doesn’t explain why Ruby remembers others can’t.
I think this is the most pathetic post I've read on Anon Babble, and I was around when !DAVEY would cum over JGL's used socks with photo proof.
Davros just had his eyes closed for years
Shite episode.
idk what you've seen, but i can confirm no.
She's not actually credited as the Doctor like they usually do so there's a good chance it's just RTD gunning for headlines, I imagine they'll shit out a Christmas special and maybe some episodes for next year and then either bring Gatwa back when he's done getting rejected from hollywood and begging for work again or cast the actual 16. Billie's on record as saying she doesn't want to take on any big roles as she's single again and has kids to look after so I can't see her fucking off to Cardiff for 9 months to film Who.
Fuck off, alright? Not even as a joke.
does anyone have the jodie scene? i don't have a way to watch the episode but i wanna see that
Based.
LOOK IT'S A HARRY POTTER BOOK LIKE THAT EVIL WOMAN LIKES
LOOK HE'S DOING IT 'FOR THE GREATER GOOD' LIKE THAT EVIL WOMAN WROTE FOR HER EVIL CHARACTERS
LOOK HE CAN'T IMAGINE TRANS WOMEN JUST LIKE THAT EVIL WOMAN
jesus christ RTD i get it man you're not gonna memoryhole "good ol' JK" though
Agree, but I actually prefer the washed out look of Chibnall - at least it just looked like a standard cheap TV drama, rather than RTD2 looking like a cheap Marvel film which to me is worse.
He hasn't written the episode yet, he's unironically going to wait and see what the fan response is and what Moffat/Chibnall have to say
Damn, even BBC news is calling out there's gonna be jack shit for 2 years.
bbc.co.uk
Is that a villain in a wheelchair?!
he's trying to artificially generate hype like he did with Tennant 2. in a few months when nobody will be caring anymore he'll confirm Billie is really the Doctor and that'll be it.
Ruby's special.
There wasn't any cucking in the Moffat era.
Lame on paper but acted so well that they pulled it off
Made me curious what the viewing figures for the last season of The Apprentice were. 2025. First episode was 5.76, series finale (episode 12) was 5.53.
never even solved mavity
What a hack
kills a black man for getting with clala
Remind me again how many other men the Doctor's wife had sex with.
The Rani danced to classical music with the Doctor though.
capaldri was the actual best actor to ever grace the show
Something something 73 Yards just don't question why the actual Time Lord in the same scene can't remember ok????
The R2D era summed up in one image.
RTD throws the whole storyline out
Doctor Who, originally planned for 2027, delayed to 2035.
Wilderness Years 2, we welcome you.
This was WORSE than I expected and i had ZERO hopes for this.
The Rani was actually good; they kill her off like that? Omega comes back, and is a giant CGI FUCKING MONSTER who is killed within 1 minute.
This was worse than Sutekh.
The Doctor commited suicide to save a baby that didn't exist.
Billie Piper is the new Doctor?!
I have been a fan for over 25 years. At least we still have the classic series, Smith, and Capaldi.
The Jodie scene was ok though.
RIP DOCTOR WHO.
Doctor Who at this point is pathetic. It's 8 weeks of content for 2 years of headline bait and speculation
Will be quite funny knowing that Billie is going to be the shortest Doctor ever with only a few seconds of screentime because there's no fucking way the next showrunner will bring her back
Amy tried to have sex with the Doctor the night before her wedding.
We shifted 1 degree. It’s solved now m8
Restarting from Rose.
At the very least it wasn't gay pop
I just about flipped when she said music and then the classical started and I calmed down a bit
Just do Rupert Grint or something ffs.
It takes time to craft these incredibly disappointing season-long storylines instead of just doing comfy low-budget sci-fi serials.
11 spent most of S5 trying to prevent Amy from fucking him.
It ends with McGann for me. I can't bring myself to pretend that I've enjoyed any of the crap those three retards have shat out since 2005.
Anita gets her heart broken by seeing the Doctor dance with Rogue
Rogue gets cucked by Bellinda by Conrad wishing a straight heterosexual relationship and child for the Doctor
Ruby has to sit there and watch like a cuck the Doctor and Bellinda being happy
Doctor ultimately gets convinced to kill himself by Ruby to save his daughter.
Bellinda ends up having that daughter with someone else anyway.
Season 2? More like season cuck.
The whole Piper thing is just to get people talking. There will be no more series of Doctor Who for at least 10 years.
If anything, there will only be comics and Big Finish.
The show was supposed to end with Chibnall anyway. The BBC don't want to make it anymore.
RTD coming back was a mistake.
Rose was the first character seen in the first RTD era.
Billie Piper is the final character seen in the final RTD era.
which has been worse?
Chibnall era where everything is so bland and uninspired and the actors look around waiting for their cue, and the Doctor occasionally turns to the camera to tell the audience why [thing] is bad
or
R2D era with Fruity Ncuti, everything is homosexual and gay and fuh-laming, the lore and continuity double down on being hyper-retarded, and the Doctor occasionally turns to the camera to tell the audience why [thing] is bad
Oh boy, I hope they take this opportunity to bring back some obscure classic who villains like The Monk and the Krotons!
Would Moffat do this?
Anita gets her heart broken by seeing the Doctor dance with Rogue
I thought she was having a fujo moment
How would they even address this? Just pretend the last few seconds didn't happen?
Hell yeah
you know that scene in Ed Wood when they're screening his transvestite film to the executives and they think it's a practical joke?
this feels like that.
amerimutts absolutely seething
Yep, I rest my case. Absolutely trash people, nobody wants your opinion. Chasing the American audience is what ruined Doctor Who in the first place. I wish you mutts would just fuck off.
She always looks sticky.
Moffat's era was fucking great in restrospect
Creepy religious breakaway cult tries to kill the Doctor
Doctor tries to runaway from his past and wears another young face
Realizes he has to face his demons becomes depressed and sorts through it as 12 and finds renewed hope
He and the Master return to a more nuanced relationship, Master finally becomes as good as they can be and dies.
Only thing I never liked in Moffats era was companions not dying. But everything else was great.
NO
The only reason rory became a companion is because gigachad 11 didn't want another rose situation
No. Moffat refused to use the Rani or even bring back the Classic Doctors for the 50th.
She’s definitely going to be brushed aside as a flashback montage or gotcha. The next Doctor has to go back to his roots as white man. These race swaps and gender swaps just are not working.
Don't want to make it so much that they greenlit another spinoff
You're forgetting.
The fanbase gets cucked out of any satisfying answers.
How is RTD going to write a woman? He has no experience with them
I like her dark coat more.
mutt false flag I guess
or English
who knows
same retardation
Companions were worse in chibbers, plot was rushed in r2d
acting elitist over a show you haven't watched in decades
I can't believe this episode made me miss Jodie
fucking hell
This is the equivalent of George Lucas making the prequels, RTD is a genuine madman and Bad Wolf Productions has almost certainly got a cult of personality towards the man
Patterson Joseph would get big viewership tbqfh
The RTD2 era summed up in one image
dude everybodyw as making jokes about Rory being a cuck
he doesn't even know how to write dudes
Spinoff was completed before S2 aired. Filmed at similar times. It's an entirely different crew. They won't recommission that either.
RTD isn't doing it, he's currently doing a series for Channel 4.
Chinball is still worse. More drawn out, basically unwatchably boring most of the time
With zesty it's fast, only 18 episodes overall, and you can laugh at stupid tryhard shit like Dot and Bubble raycism twist and such. Boom, Yards, Lux, The Well good episodes.
acting elitist over a show you've only been watching since the capaldi era
All this episode made me realise is that Ncuti Gatwa would've been very good if RTD didn't do his best to dress him and write his dialogue as gay as possible.
actually this. maybe it's age or ADHD or something, but i actually shut down when all the bombastic shite happens.
in a way we are all Dr Who's children
[music swells]
he flew some magic jetpack hoverboard thing, that was just a minor one-off thing that happened. out of the 1,000 things that happened in one hour. subduing Omega with a laser gun was also just some minor thing. either of these could have been the big exciting ending.
Capaldi era was 10 years ago anon
Why did he have to cry in every single episode?
That would make me 30, anon.
Gatwa is easily going down as bottom 5 Doctors.
She steps back into the TARDIS (filmed from the back so they can use a stand-in)
Big explosion
New Doctor emerges from the smoke
Billie is RTD's Sheryl Lee
50-something Gatwa will make a great Mr. Jackpots.
So did we ever learn why Rogues ship identified Shalka Doctor?
Boom, Yards, Lux, The Well good episodes.
Rogue, Lucky Day and Wish World are better.
Gatwa is easily going down as bottom
ask The Boss.
someone on the effects team was just fucking around. That is literally the reason
I don't think the EU can even save Gatwa at this point, while it might save Jodie.
Gatwa doesn't seem at all interested in continuing the role currently while Jodie at least seems to have liked her time in the role enough to come back for this and Big Finish
tardis wiki having a shitfight over whether the new doctor looks like rose or not because it hasn't been "confirmed"
lmaoooo
Because RTD wrote him that way.
Would Moffat do this?
No.
“You can’t just bring somebody back and say, ‘That’s a story.’ That’s just somebody walking through a door…. I won’t be thinking, ‘How do you bring Captain Jack back?’ I’ll be thinking, ‘You know what this needs? We need to bring Jack back for it.’”
Think what you want about Moffat's writing but the guy simply understands the purpose of stories. Stories are for kino, not for publicity stunts or triggering gammons. Characters should be brought back because they have an important role in the story, not because it'll result in tabloid headlines.

Yet another knock-off of something Russell did better in his initial run.
SARAH: You know, you act like such a lonely man. But look at you. You've got the biggest family on Earth.
Genuinely looking forward to the fanbase turning on Russel again after that shitshow. Maybe that troon YouTuber can make another 6 hour video about how Doctor Who is dead (again)
didn't do his best to dress him
"This Doctor doesn't have a recognizable costume so now you can wear literally anything and say you're the Doctor!"
What happened to RTD to make him this arrogant?
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire.
What makes you think I give a fuck? The Matt Smith/Peter Capaldi era is when the show turned to shit because it started chasing the American audience. People who started watching in this era are part of the problem.
going down as bottom
Of all the older companions to bring back, why fucking Mel? Bitch was godawful.
Russell just really wanted to hang with Lanford
he used to be good at sappy and sweet, it at least felt like human beings were saying this stuff.
I said it before and I'll say it again
2005-2010: RTD
2023-present: ChatRTD
What makes you think I give a fuck?
because you responded
Rouge
It's...okay. But Doctor being so in love with random guy that Ruby gets "killed" was stupid.
Lucky Day was also okay but too preachy, although Conrad is entertaining.
Wish World is pure shite, Conrad and The Rani only two entertaining things about the episode. Honestly Reality World is better than Wish World cause it's so egregiously stupid it's at least funny.
bump limit in 37 minutes
What the actual fuck happened? Did they announce the new doctor or something?
Good episodes from Chibbers
Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror
The Haunting of Villa Diodati
(neither written by Chibs lol)
Good episodes from RTD2
Wild Blue Yonder
Boom
73 Yards
Dot and Bubble
Joy to the World
Lux
The Well
Lucky Day
The Interstellar Song Contest
The overarching plot shite from both eras is absolutely fucking pants on head retarded but at least we've had some decent standalone episodes.
Probably because she didn't say no
The confusion stems from her barely looking like the Billie Piper we remember
Unholy Trinity
literally just the Rani and Conrad
I dun get it?
I hate these fucking mystery boxes now, River Song was fine I guess, maybe because I was young and stupid, but now it's like "ooh we're gonna plant a seed now just so we can pull it out of the drawer later and make it look like we're good writers for namedropping a character a few seasons back and doing nothing else that alters the plot".
Billie Piper. I am not bullshiting you.
Yes. It's Billie Piper. Though they aren't outright saying she's the Doctor even though we see him turn into her.
Anon....
Ncuti is genuinely a victim to RTDs agenda. He saw a gay actor and thought "THIS IS MY OPPORTUNITY!". If he wrote him as you'd expect a Doctor to be he would've been great.
E.g. look at how different he spoke in BOOM.
The Dream Baby is counted as well.
Yeah, it's actually crap. The equivalent of a big dumb fireworks show, to distract children into thinking they're being entertained.
What's good in stories is seeing characters clash over understandable differences, or work through tangible problems in ways that feel satisfying (dummy example: Arnold figuring out the Predator can only see heat, and using that knowledge to get an edge in the fight).
but we gave you a big CGI monster, and a fleet of space ships! And it's like the biggest and bestest ever! Aren't you happy?
No, you fucking barely cognisant animal.
Good episodes from RTD2
Wild Blue Yonder
Lux
The Well
Fixed that for you.
AAAAHHHH NOOO I WANTED CLALA
acting elitist over a show you haven't watched in decades
You talking about Council of Geeks?
The other one was Omega
Nah it was in the script go watch the Unleashed episode for Rogue RTD talks about it, they brought Grant in for a day to take reference pictures of him.
The Smith an Capaldi eras are like five times better than the Tennant era.
Plus, the TV movie was the explicit attempt to grab the US market.
Accurate and based
I watched most of post-2000s DW with my ex because I wanted to do something nice for her and it makes me happy to think that whenever something new happens with the reanimated corpse of DW since we broke up she'll inevitably remember us watching it together because I was the first who ever shared it with her.
Think he means Jay Exci.
Are they still pretending season 3 hasn't been greenlit?
I thought female Doctors were going to be role models for girls. How is this a role model? She looks embarrassing.
The Smith an Capaldi eras are like five times better than the Tennant era.
If you're a retarded Yank, yes.
Anything to stay out of a carehome I guess
You know the extent of Moffat's "chasing the US audience" was just making the Impossible Astronaut episode (which was good), and affixing the US episodes with a bit where Amy Pond explains who the Doctor is, to catch people up?
RTD explicitly modeled his show on Buffy, and the TV movie was just a straight American production, where the Doctor is framed as "funny Englishman".
arn't a lot of actors?
is there a torrent yet?
