You can delete your own posts, I have done it before.
Wait, how did Amy still have a Scottish accent, when she spent most of her life in an English village?
Im scottish and I was fucking her on the side.
But she had a Scottish accent when she was a kid.
"genetic explosion"? did they canonize Pythia's curse
Conrad's room in the Wish World was the TARDIS.
Why did everything except the bed and the chair disappear then?
Did Rani fly them in from IKEA?
INB4 TENNANT AND PIPER CHRISTMAS SPECIAL AND TERMINAL SOIFACING CASES WORLDWIDE
Redditors act like it's been renewed, is it so?
I feel bad for Ncuti. I saw glimpses of him as an actor in the finale. Russel has royalty fucked him over.
It's easy when your parents speak with an accent
t. still have a half-assed californian accent even though I was born in Australia and lived here for my whole life (33 years) just because of my parents
She deliberately kept it up out of spite.
Russell said he'd explain Bigeneration and he didn't
Mel turned up for no reason
Conrad can't see trans people yet he could last week and Rose Noble fades back in to the UNIT control room for no reason
Omega is a skeleton monster for no reason
There's giant dinosaurs for no reason
13 turns up for now reason
15 kills himself to alter time or something and ends up retconning Poppy out of his life meaning that it was for no reason
They ripped-off Pythia's Curse. The sterility is now because of the Sacha Dhawan Master fucking Gallifrey's shit up. They set the genetic shit up in the Devil's Chord.
DOCTOR: The Time Lords were murdered. The genocide rolled across Time and Space, like a great big cellular explosion. Maybe it killed her too.
n'aawh. humble, that.
The Reality War
Ruby goes to war with reality
Bravo Russell!
It's being kept under wraps but will probably be announced with the special or something
I'm just making this up, but it's an easy guess because nothing good ever happens
There'll probably be a Children in Need sketch. You can whip that shit up in one afternoon.
fuck
marry
ghost
mouth stuff
WM/FF action
Positives: Belinda's tits.
Negatives: Everything else.
all that time hyping up the underworld
underworld is never shown
Susan appeared for no reason
Rogue appeared for no reason
there were two ranis so that one can be killed and the original one survived meaning it was for no reason
come back chibnall please come back
mouth stuff
Like kissing.
They just think that casting a new Doctor must mean they are gonna make more. They can't see it's a just dying gasp of a show that's become irrelevant
Belinda was raped.
there were two ranis so that one can be killed and the original one survived
I hate bigeneration so much.
Does this mean that when Mrs. Flood dies again she'll bigenerate again into the Bryani?
Why didn't Anita just open a door to a future straight Doctor?
BREAKING NEWS:
Matrixlord hated this episode so much that he has announced his Doctor Who podcast (with over 2,000 episodes) has now come to an end after Russell "killed the show".
It was actually her heart's wish to have a black daughter
This is content. Are you not happy?
The sterile thing implies that the previous version can regenerate or bigenerate...which means 14 can regenerate....So there's essentially potential for an infinite amount of Doctors.
They ruined the very concept of the show.
So you want them to ruin those two together like they ruined Doctor Donna?
I fucking hate them for ruining that.
>There's giant dinosaurs for no reason
They were just soldiers that the Rani wished into the world.
looms are canon?
I can't get over how this brings in zero outside viewers. It's fan incest casting.
What will his legacy be after he passes?
I'M FUCKING DYING
Invaluable research into Cancer AIDS
if they bring the show back in another 40 years everything after mcgann will need to be straight up retconned now
I hate it when fiction over explains shit. I mean yeah, it was kind of weird we never heard anything about Susan's parentage but it was presumably because they were otherwise normal people besides being related to the biggest case of Disaster Protagonist Syndrome in the universe
he looks rough now. in a good way, i suppose. doubt i'll be able to take him seriously if he's meant to be tough/hard/serious.
"We're calling this season 1/2 because it's a natural jumping on point for new viewers"
Constantly referring backwards to a degree that the stories are nonsensical without understanding episodes from 40+ years ago to the point episodes grind to a halt to show footage from them
What the hell is going through Rusty's head?
dugga doo!
It was great until Chibnall.
Ruby and the cripple gang fucking died and woke up on May 23rd
Thank you RTD for further proving that this show desperately needs to go into a second wilderness era
What did Peter Davison think of that episode and of the 16th Doctor casting?
this is an odd cultural relic, and it only happened a few hours ago.
remember when television was like the Doctor Who episode 'The Reality War'? weird times.
I genuinely think RTD might be a gigaracist with a sadism fetish
this will be my final edit, Billie Piper, done with bad fanservice, but I love the fandom
The worst depiction of the ability I have had the misfortune to experience; why is it *so* inconsistent? How on Earth does Ruby remember but not the Doctor? Jesus.
TARDIS Wiki now openly slagging off the show kek
10/Rose was ok until tonight.
Replace War Doctor with McGann
End the show after Capaldi
this is how it goes in my reality.
who?
Right. But why? Why skeleton dinosaurs? What were they doing before she needed them to take on UNIT?
You think that's bad, just wait for it to be revealed that Susan is actually Beep the Meep, Rogue's and Anita's boss.
EDA4 is my stopping point
Bleak end.
I think he's too pissed about not being brought in to play Omega to give a fuck about the 16th Doctor.
"She is provoking the Bone Beasts."
eats your fan favorite baddie then dies for no reason
it's what HE would like to see happen, as a fan.
but he knows he 'has to' sell the show to Disney, convince them it's 'accessible to new viewers'.
if you watched the director's commentaries, he explains Disney wanted more 'here is the premise' exposition. Dr Who showing up to tell that guy his future? that was at Disney's behest.
(i strongly suspect the David-Tennant-in-space opening recap was, too. he basically says the same things they say in the story, through dialogue.)
good thing the concept of the time war means everything after 2005 can be self-refuted as some aborted reality
Hasn't it already destroyed his career at this point?
Ncuti Gatwa never had a big career and was never going to.
Really, what's his big career been so far? Being backup dancer #4 in Barbie, and being the weird masturbating guy from some Netflix show that was only really popular with the urban UK audience and nobody else. That's it. And what are his big upcoming projects? Nobody knows, just theatre stuff. When you ask the average zoomer or gen alpha now who's the big up and coming UK actor, nobody would say "uh yeah that NCUTI GATWA guy he's the next Di Caprio" absolutely nobody would.
The "Ncuti won't be in the Doctor role for long because he's an UP-AND-COMING BIG ACTOR" was always a white lie people said out of politeness, consciously or subconsciously. The alternative would be having to admit he's just an uninterested mercenary who was stunt casted in the show at a bad time and was clearly never going to be very good in the role.
Yeah I'm gonna join you in that reality
It's bizarre what's happened to regeneration. It wasn't even named for a long time and it was only done out of necessity.
There were rumours that they were going to be used to rebuild Omega's body, which would've been cool. The whole thing was lazy.
Ncuti could've been a good Doctor if RTD wasn't so adamant to make him a Sex Education character.
Strangely the only thing I liked in this episode was 13 appearing.
The only way to fix this is to reboot the show again. Start with a blank slate. It's absolutely dead in the water now.
He made the Timeless Child look like Shakespeare. I might buy Chibnall's new novel now as a form of protest.
she definitely provokes my bone beast if you know what i'm sayin heheheheh
Oh right so they were sneaking around outside the Greggs for no reason then
Pops in on the Best Classic Doctor (Pertwee) and the Best New Doctor (Smith)
Based Red Rum.
If you watched The Eleventh Hour you'd know.
RTD's writing could NOT help Jodie.
in what fucking sense is this Omega?
they couldn't give Bone Devil Omega a pyramid hat, or something? like the various live-action interpretations of comic book heroes, before they just started using the actual costumes.
lol is this Omega?
Grim.
he didn't even list 'stranded' or the time war stories.
Crazy Days & Nights had a blind about him that he was about to go full tranny, but then got the call for Doctor Who.
Big Fijish fucked itself by getting the New Who license. Without it, they could've distanced themselves from New Who like Azgreus did with the books and comics, pretending it's a seperate universe. But nah, they had to get it and go all in. Damn.
Casts the Gay Vicar off Corrie to play Omega
Doesn't have him show up in person to do a dance number
Russell has truly lost his way.
yeah didn't really get that one, did she just think all of them were gay after seeing 15 dancing with a man? lass just go back to pertwee he'll give you a right shag
It must've been a last minute decision, they literally just superimposed Billie's head onto Ncuti's body.
The underworld is a nightmare realm where legends become physical so Omega turned himself into the skeleton because of his fierce reputation or some such shit.
>Replace War Doctor with McGann
nah, Eccleston.
rather than a pompous, "Must you talk like children?"
we'd get a straightforward, "do yous have to talk like kids?"
No one wanted the job I bet so they just gave up
Yeah the whole regeneration scene looked really bad and rushed
The only way to fix this is to reboot the show again. Start with a blank slate. It's absolutely dead in the water now.
I still say just do one off specials or mini series every couple of years with the only constant being the TARDIS as a Police Box. Recast the Doctor and Companion for every single adventure and never ever mention continuity
they literally just superimposed Billie's head onto Ncuti's body
I see RTD is writing his fetishes into the show again
Show needs a hiatus for half a decade at least
The Flanderisation of the Doctor from "guy with special ability to cheat death", to "magic space Jesus who can blast space lasers out of his hands and miraculously heal people and shit".
How did they not see what they were doing wrong at any point? it's amazing. The level of fuck up.
when L O S T finished, i remember the Anon Babble hype and feeling deeply unsatisfied i didn't get the answers.
now Doctor Who is finished, i am enjoying the Anon Babble hype but i don't care that i didn't get the answers.
You're the new showrunner.
You have two seasons.
What do you do?
Hard mode: no retconning Doctors. (You can retcon series arcs)
an uninterested mercenary
This is why I never felt the urge to defend Ncuti. Matt Smith was shafted with some poor episodes in S6 and S7 but I always liked the guy because he was initially upfront about being an outsider, but despite that he went balls deep into the show and tried hard to fit in. He specifically focused on Troughton and tried to emulate him.
Ncuti is just kinda a smiling and laughing dude whose only connection with the show was claiming Jon Pertwee was a slut like him, because they both dressed outlandishly.
Why is no one talking about how distractingly worse Jodie Whittaker looks after just 3 years?
She looks like she's aged a decade
I don't care if the original Day of the Daleks voices were shit, stick your Briggswashing up your fucking arse. At this point I'd resurrect the 1996 chipmunk Daleks just to spite him.
The worst thing about all this shit is how much a significant proportion of the fandom will try to gaslit me into thinking it was good.
Who cares tripfag lmao
I think she had a child and she takes care of it herself. Being a parent the first few years can be exhausting, it could've aged her up.
so is the doctor now an autogynephile
Start in medias res and don't mention a fucking thing that came before
Trips of truth
Shut your whore mouth, my waifu is as cute as the day I first saw her in Attack The Block
what's irritating is you can say they always did weird shit, like the Black/White Guardians and so on. if anything, 'regeneration energy' that can be used to heal wounds, power electronics, and so on, kind of has a consistency/logic to it.
but it's still unnecessary, overly powerful and open-ended magic bullshit. he dies and comes back to life, with a serious hangover. that's enough, draw the line there.
From a storytelling point of view, that's absolutely nonsense. The only reason the character is called Omega is to get people talking about lore in the lead-up to the episode, hopefully drawing attention and boosting numbers a bit. It does absolutely nothing for the story.
Because we're talking about how much worse Piper looks
Just do what they did in 2005. New Doctor appears with no explanation. Has no memories of anything. Reintroduce Daleks etc, but no references to the past at all. All new characters/villains.
To be honest I remembered that right after I posted it. I've had 3 kids in the last 5 years so I should have known full well
Ncuti Gatwa regenerates into Billie Piper
Warning: This article contains spoilers.
Stupid fucking BBC editors, well done you spastics
They actually went and fucking did it. Unbelievable.
she just looks normal, aside from whatever the makeup department did to her eyebrows.
she is the same age as Billie Piper. let that sink in.
Imagine it is 1996
Rather than 7th regenerating into McGann he regenerates into the 8th Doctor played Tom Baker.
The 8th Doctor encounters Zoe who has her memories restored.
For some reason Mel shows up and is working for UNIT.
At the end of the film 8th bigenerates with the 9th Doctor played by Paul McGann.
2 films done and the McGann Doctor regenerates in Elisabeth Sladen as the 10th Doctor.
Yeh, the Doctor was at his best when he was just a guy traveling through time and space randomly getting involved in peoples shit.
just ignore the lore changes basically and concentrate on individual stories.
perhaps make it more like a sci-fi anthology series, like the twilight zone.
Is this guy right?
EDA S4 ended with 2 of his companions and his great grandson dying to the Daleks as a lead-in to the Time War. Then Dark Eyes happened to be the lead-in. Then it wasn't because of Night of the Doctor which featured a not so broken 8 so Big Fijish had to switch gears with 8's arc and revert him back to type.
P much.
Also, no one is going to even know who Omega is. Disney Plus don't have the back catalog and casual viewers are not going to go back and watch the classic series anyway (especially this generation). It has a reputation of being shit.
I take the show back to its roots. An enigmatic cosmic hobo blundering around righting wrongs etc. etc. Less "herapderp all of reality is going to blow up" style stories and just focus more on some monster of the week/base under siege stories.
It shouldn't be about the doctor or companion, they're just visitors in the world and need to react to whatevers going on but having the story revolve around them (impossible girl, who's rubys mum etc. etc. is just awful)
can just imagine the levels of cope going on in gallifreybase
If I were McGann I'd be so pissed now. This is two episodes in a row where he's been represented by his old Power of the Doctor self. Shit, even this brand new Big Finish promo is doing it. What the fuck happened. Big Finish used TVM imagery all the way up to Dark Eyes and the TV show did it as late as The Timeless Children.
cant wait for r/galliffrey in a few months making the "Here's Why The Ncuti Gatwa Era Was An Underrated Masterpiece" posts
ooof
"I will become the God of Time, with Time Lords to feast upon."
eats exactly 1 (one) Time Lord (Lady)
dies 2 (two) minutes later
What did Omega mean by this? And why didn't Gatwa pronounce it Omuhguh like everyone else?
Oh yeah, completely
Listen lads, all i say is that during Chibnall's run, /who/ slandered the fuck out of every episode (rightfully so), but reddit and the like would at least pretend to like it for a bit.
Now everyone is slagging the show off from the very start.
Rusty has lost the fan base completely. We've never been in a more dire situation
It's like those guys who transition and take the name of the girl they had a crush on. sick stuff indeed
Whittaker met Christian Contreras, a Belizean-American actor and writer, in drama school, and they married in Arizona in 2008. She gave birth to their daughter in April 2015, and had their second child in 2022.
bloody hell. good for her (and him).
I stopped watching Who a long time ago but holy shit these regeneration scenes are so over the top melodramatic to the point of being annoying and unbearable.
Two more fucking seasons of this because the Beeb refuses to pull the plug
Gatwa pronounce it Omuhguh like everyone else
Pertwee turning in his grave
Recast Smith
Ncuti only got two seasons
lmao
When Jodie Whittaker blew up the Tardis after regenerating I laughed and stopped watching and headcanoned that the Tardis exploded because female driver and she immediately regenerated again into whenever/if the show gets good again.
I'm glad I have not wavered in this decision based on what I've understood. WTF so the Timelords are all dead again, Omega's a zombie giant and ROSE is the Doctor now? What the fucking fuck Russel, someone acid attack this faggot, Britain's cooked.
i mean yeah, that's just the effect.
although i guess the clothes change? that was created in a computer? why.
Sladen Doctor
Honestly that would've been based.
because of the truncated nature of them and the multiple doctor lite stories it barely even feels more than one.
Kino...
If I cannot retcon then I would just ignore The Timeless Child and Bigeneration and all the other shit. It will be 26 25-minute episodes subdivided into 2 2-part serials, 4 4-part serials, and 1 6-part serial - order to be determined. The actor for the Doctor is a middle-aged to elderly white British male actor, with companions being a straight white British guy in his 20s-to-30s and attractive female (either playing a Human from a different time period or humanoid alien) that is 18-25. The entire thing will be filmed as a stage play in the style of the First Doctor era. The music will be that ambient type music the Third Doctor era had. Guest cast will come from one of three categories: simply be performers from TV shows I like, actresses I find attractive, and stage actors. Target audience: me.
I just kick off with a new Doctor, who's a cantankerous middle aged white man, and I reference as little as NuWho as I can get away with.
Stories are gothic horror and pulp adventure pastiches, with a few outright funny episodes here and there. That's it.
Never met the Daleks
Even the 1996 movie has (weird chipmunk voice) Daleks in, did Disney just not like them?
lad got 18 episodes, some of which he was in for about 10 minutes max. Eccleston had less but felt like he did twice as much
The Doctor as a character doesn't suit being a woman. only one who pulled it off is fugitive and she played it more masculine.
Don't outright retcon anything, but throughout my first season include in the background aliens or planets that appeared in a single story for each of the first 12 Doctors, but nothing from 13/14/15.
I liked the special with the goblins, that was the only good episode.
Watching this half a century old show seize up and die in real time is insane.
Power of the Doctor is the only time he appeared in the show.
Probably licensing issues. It's always licensing issues.
Ignoring it doesn't work. As an example, RTD is kind of ignoring Flux which makes it a weird loose end. Yeah, you can go along with ignoring it and forget it happened, but it feels like something begging to be acknowledged and until they do it feels filler. There's also something to be said about Flux destroying half the universe and the Doctor just leaving that on the backburner, but when the Doctor saves the day short a single person who never existed in the first place, he does a suicide regeneration in the time vortex that risks destroying all of reality.
Gallifrey's now been destroyed, undestroyed, redestroyed too often so that bringing it back, even if it's necessary, would just be laughable, but some of the damage Chibnall and RTD have done to continuity would need to be addressed head-on to reintroduce any sense of real stakes to the show.
I've had 3 kids in the last 5 years so I should have known full well
Bloody hell. Do you get good sleep?
I would accept if both Eccleston and McGann showed up. A true 4 doctor story
i said at the time i was enjoying Chibnall's weird turn. like how the fuck do you ruin Doctor Who in strange new ways? then he actually went and did it, the absolute madman.
Davies has ruined Doctor Who in Classic Davies style. it's utterly uninteresting.
Total reboot.
At least we get more comfy grandma Rani.
Night of the Doctor is classed as a 50th Anniversary special btw.
Billie is not the 16th doctor is a temporary new entity
the wrong Rani died.
Benedict Wong as the Doctor, companion is a Victorian woman, everything pans out from there
So what does it mean that the Doctor regenerated into the form of a person that at some time he wanted to have sex with
it's utterly uninteresting
But anon, it was the number one trending topic on Twitter and Reddit in the UK for about 4 minutes.
Elisabeth Sladen was 65 when she died. Billie Piper is now 42. Compare what Sladen looked liked at 65 with Piper now and Sladen utterly mogs her despite being older.
There was a dalek prop used in this episode, when the day of the daleks clip is played a real dalek is wheeled past.
Closest Ncuti got to a dalek and he probably wasn't on set at the time
le Badwolf bravo Rusty
B-B-Billie's in???
GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE SHOOTY
How is Bowlestrek taking this
How is IAN LEVINE taking this
It means he will now have sex with them.
Honestly, this is nothing compared to how Capaldi droned on his regeneration scene. It was like those jokes about overly long death scenes except played completely serious.
Children in Need special of her prancing about the TARDIS in November, before she goes "only joking about the face!" and regenerates properly, into someone else.
Of which were only 8 episodes.
You ever think you'd be sitting here thinking "wow that scene with the 13th Doctor was by far the best part of the episode"?
That's probably enough to get a third season greenlit
Asian character
daughter is called poppadom
Cancel RTD
Brutal mogging
Capaldi was bookending the series. It works.
Actually yeah! Twins are tough but they've all been sleeping all night since about 6 months.
How is IAN LEVINE taking this
oh fuck one of the times i actually check Twitter, for this crucial information.
i'm going in, lads.
ngl I liked Flood better than the other one.
How is Bowlestrek taking this
He's happy, he was going to hate the episode no matter what so having it be actaully shit helps
How is IAN LEVINE taking this
This might be what finishes him off
WTF so the Timelords are all dead again
Yeah the Master did it because he found about the Timeless Child and it mindbroke him. Have fun looking that up.
INTRODUCING.... JOHN SIMM AS "THE BOSS"
It is the Doctor keeps killing themself until they get an appearance they like and it is all fine as they infinite regenerations so death is cheap for them.
Tennant grows old to become the 1st Doctor
Bi-Generation is Susan's Mother/Father
Timey whimey
The Doctor, and the entire revived show really, are now most similar to Cassandra from S01E02 The End of the World.
A basically immortal, ageless weird creature that is a warped mockery of its original form. It does not know when to stop or rest, does not understand that everything has its time and everything ends. It just continues onward, not caring how much it changes into something it never intended and never wanted, not caring how disgusted everyone else is, not caring that its current actions are senseless. It goes on and on because it is terrified of its death. Someone should really put its out of its misery.
Extra relevant today because Billie Piper played the companion who essentially said all these things to Cassandra.
To be fair even the iPlayer has the Special Edition because of how notorious the voices were. Shame they never did that remaster a few years prior as they could have brought in Roy Skelton to redo the voices as he would have still been alive, at least it would have been more fitting than throwing every single thing at Nick Briggs.
AHEM
I loved tennant
I loved Matt Smith
I loved the war doctor
I loved Capaldi
I never got used to Wittiker.
I loved tennant
I never gave shooty a chance
and I REFUSE to get used to piper
how would that have exploded across time and space
Even if we're just dancing in the dark.
Was this all an elaborate ruse by RTD to have 10 and Rose again?
He's a grower not a shower.
The BOSS you say?
You know what, I'm good. I don't want to know what they've done, it's probably something dumb.
we had Romana and The Curse of Fatal Death so yeah, fuck it, go for it. 'finally address' the Romana thing by just having the Doctor do the same goddamn thing. regeneration limits are gone now, it's like changing clothes! how camp.
tfw horseface from the Time Hotel is more of a Doctor than Ncuti.
JUMP CUT Mrs Flood now striding along the ROOFTOP, in the SNOW, with a PARASOL, carrying a 1950s SUITCASE.
MRS FLOOD (CONT’D): "But life goes on, doesn’t it? Ruthlessly! And what happens, you might wonder, oh what happens to that mysterious traveller in time and space known as the Doctor?"
(close, into CAMERA)
"I’m sorry to say, his story ends in absolute terror. Night night."
END OF EPISODE.
This never made sense to me. How did the Master destroy Gallifrey when even the fucking Daleks couldn't do it in the Time War?
Also, the latest episode was so shit and confusing. What was the reason 15 regenerated? How can they now just magically regenerate whenever they want??? The whole point of it is to escape death.
Susan probably
the doctor now
No it doesn't. He was sniffing his own farts.
Yes. He planned it all from the start.
Tennant is back because... stress??
Tennant Doctor doesn't die because... bigeneration (Ncuti didn't get this)
Ncuti turns into Rose because??
This was the scenic route to bringing 2006 back. BRAVO RUSTY.
Fuck it.
I'm gonna do it.
I'm going to create the spiritual successor to eclipse this garbo.
regenerates properly, into someone else.
2000s Russell would have totally had Omega burping out the Rani's sonic screwdriver ala the Dragon eating Lord Fuckwad in Shrek.
he was the nerdy friend in The Hole
Formerly Chuck's.
Good luck. If it's got cheapass rubber costumes, base under siege stories and cute girl companions I'll watch it.
I feel like we should all be complaining about the rape of Omega, but so much shit happened after that it's just forgotten
So we all agree the Sea Devil chick from "The War Between The Land And The Sea" is fuckable. Right... guys?
How did the Master destroy Gallifrey when even the fucking Daleks couldn't do it in the Time War?
Gallifrey was in shambles after 12 kicked out Rassilon. Completely destabilised.
Sounds Apprenticey. Wouldn't be surprised if it's another Trump stand-in.
The Time Lords have only been infertile since The Master's massacre in season 12
Headcanon.
Who?
Doctor who will return in The SNEED doctors
Not lizard enough for me. Where snout?
TL Note: "Absolute terror" means "2025 Billie Piper".
All the stuff after the world was restored took SO LONG.
It would be awkward for the fans that follow the series at first but after a series or two I think most of us would let it go.
I would also just blatantly contradict what Chibs & RTD2 have done. for example I would have the doctor turn up on an undestroyed Gallifrey, with Romana & Susan in charge,
rebuilding after the time war and I wouldn't even explain what happened inbetween.
just let the contradictions stand as a fuck you and the autists don't like it, then let them seethe about it on forums.
BBC Radio are even calling it shit
The worst depiction of the ability
the ability
which ability? regeneration? it's looked bad for years
There was too much rape going around for individual things to get highlighted.
leaked footage shows the return of the Judoon
Meanwhile in the timeline where Mark Gatiss is producer and Lawrence Miles is script editor...
Is that the character played by Martha's sister? Damn she was a babe.
I'll watch the Master/Barclay shag the sexy sea devil lady then i'm done with this universe until a new showrunner pops in.
Can someone explain to me the whole Poppy situation. Whose baby was she? I still don't understand.
I sure am glad they regenerated into a black screen for a second time instead of revealing the new doctor. Those leaks were right after all, again!
I miss post-regeneration delirium
It's probably just was well Omega and the Rani didn't get more screentime for the Poppy thing.
Yup Martha and Her sister are two of the sexiest black ladies i've seen
but then again Martha is half iranian and her sisters actress is half white.
Apparently Belinda's real human daughter.
Space Baby
Then the Doctors
Then Belinda and Chad Thundercock from HR

"And the glorious thing about this story is that you to the fi-nale is that she's the only person who knows what's going on because she went through events of 73 Yards. I love this."
How many times has he now had to explain plot relevant stuff in behind-the-scenes extras?
Because people kept saying they were being done to death and they needed a proper break, same with the Cybermen. Chibnall couldn't get enough of them (and even took away the fucking plungers for most of them).
Disney would have milked the Daleks dry if RTD wrote them in. Just give them a new lick of paint and let them get back to doing what they should be doing. If only they would get someone else for the voices though.
regenerates properly, into someone else.
"no Mark you can't write a fun romp about 'underground monsters' taking over the Earth, we all know that's a RACIST analogy for THE JEWS, the vibrations of my microwave told me so!"
2005 tabloids report the show has ended due to creative influences. is Lawrence 'Miles High' or just off his rocker?
I was just happy he wasn't the stupid AI crab. I can accept a version of Omega that has become a husky of himself.
Why was it necessary to put in that Rani didn't have a Tardis?
Imagine The Giggle but it's 7 with Ace and Benny. No bigeneration. 7 regenerates into 8, much to Benny's glee.
ncuti is a brilliant actor who made some of the worst scripts ever served up in the show's 70 years into something just about watchable. note how the entertainment plumments when any actor other than him is delivering a line
if he had played the 9th doctor, it might've been the greatest series of the show ever produced
What's the point of these threads if you aren't all replying to ME
This was worse than the AI crab. It looked like they just retooled the Sutekh CGI model from last year.
It's really over, isn't it? Not only have they blended the show into something that barely resembles itself, they had the nerve to do this in the TV show. Had they done any of this in the Extended Universe, we could blissfully ignore it forevermore. They've not, though, it's all set in stone forever now.
It's the end...
All the time lords are sterile, and they always have been.
My eyes are rolling on their own!
Paul McGann's bollocks slapping against Lisa Bowerman's arse on Saturday teatime
Wholesome.
Looms?
Jack Black must be an IRL Time Lord with all the kidslop he's been cranking out over the past 20 years.
Oh thank god it's not bella ramsey
Episode time is repeatedly given to the Doctor reminding Anita to hold the door open and showing that she has indeed remembered to hold the door open.
WE GET IT RUSSELL YOU WANT TO FUCK NCUTI YOU DON'T HAVE TO MAKE EVERYONE CALL HIM HOT
Don't underestimate how many casual viewers who didn't watch past Tennant decide "Oh yes, Billie's back... I'll watch that!"
Ncuti > Tenni
73 Yards is better without hearing him explain it. Without the explanation it feels like a nice dreamlike horror story comfortable with it's own ambiguity. With the explanation it feels like watching Rusty huff the farts directly from his own flabby cheeks.
the entire point of this website is that you post stuff knowing for certain that at least one person with nothing better to do will read it, it's true even when nobody respond
Anything from Ian Levine yet?
it hasnt been but it will be, but since post-production takes so long and without renewal they havent yet even started pre-production on the next series, it's likely we won't get more dr who until 2027
Moffat we need you more than ever
Taking bets on 14 and 16 being the main plot point on Season 3.
Any takers?
McCoy and McGann are top tier Doctors. I don't care if anyone disagrees.
Because then it introduces a second TARDIS that's constantly around and would throw a wrench into every story where the Doctor can't use his TARDIS
He's not better than Smith and Capaldi though.
Was Gatwa cast as a "Thank You" from Rusty I wonder??
The Virgin Storyteller Conrad
The Chad Narrator Rassilon
Why was Mrs Flood breaking the 4th wall
He's ascended into a creature of pure disapointment, if rumors are true he's put some sort of hex on RTD
There is no Season 3. It's industry knowledge that the show has been cancelled. It's not coming back.
Only our Tom surpasses them imo
If S2 was a success then it would have been renewed early on so these long, hype killing breaks wouldn't happen.
not even allowed a real regeneration, has to exist alongside a spare Tennant in case the ratings get too low
is given almost nothing to work with from a characterization angle
is initially told he'll be a real doctor who went to therapy, but is then told to constantly cry and cower in the face of danger
his first costar gets fired and is replaced by some indian girl who becomes irrelevant after her first episode
is weirdly absent from many of his episodes, of which there weren't many to begin with
is forced to give up his life for some random baby nobody has seen before and nobody cares about
regenerates into a white woman
Capaldi is so overrated
Ncuti only got 5 more episodes than Eccleston
Grim
you know what you make a good point, it could always be worse
I loved Twice Upon a Time. I feel like I could've watched an entire season of Bradley as the 1st Doc
Source?
At this point there is so much damage done to Doctor Who there is an information overload regarding it. Omega, Sutekh, Susan, Toymaker, 'S1', bigeneration, Tennant as the Doctor again, Piper now as the Doctor (and even some bullshit explanation or cope of she is not actually the Doctor does not help or fundamentally change it), Timeless Child, the way the Doctor's morality since 13th is all over the place and not moral, how the show is firmly pro-neoliberal, the way UNIT is handled, bad art design, just bad writing and episodes in general. There are multiple massive problems and all the smaller problems also have just accumulated.
I miss Ncuti.
they had the nerve to do this in the TV show
Doctor Who on TV was always mid. IP was at its best with the everything else.
Don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next-ACK
I still have mine, despite moving to Belgium and speaking Dutch
industry knowledge
Your ass
Maybe Pertwee too. And I do love Troughton too. Ah fuck it, all of the classic Doctors are based.
yes capaldi is the best actor to have played the role
smith is not that special though
it's a television series. they can just address the audience if they want. Hartnell did it, Capaldi did it.
the way UNIT is handled
This is the worst of it for me to be honest, what the fuck are they now?
ncuti is a brilliant actor
how? why?
Love Gugu
He's black, super sexy and has great fashion sense, I'd bed him if I could
It's definitely better than the crab. One is a ghoul of a time lord and the other belongs on the bottom of New New Earth.
GOOD NEWS
Either 16 fucks dudes and is straight or she's gay and fucks other women.
4 THE DADS AND 4 THE LADS
not bella ramsey
not maisie williams (who was actually in the show before)
not billie pi-
well 2 out of 3 is pretty good
An allegory for the BBC and British government?
No, because it was utterly inconsequential and unnecessary.
he wouldn't want your ass
Somehow the show has gotten so shit that Jodie being there was good
Law of "nothing ever happens" says you're wrong
Well there are more adventures with Bradley's 1st Doctor at bigfinish.com
they have some Avengers tower? they're not just like, the army or the navy, but for aliens, they're... something?
i guess the whole 'queen and country' thing of The Day of the Doctor is old hat, even if the Doctor disagrees in-universe. it's too close to the 'queen and country' of the evil Torchwood lady, but she was an actual imperialist.
so fuck knows. they're the Super Squad, who fights aliens! tune in for The War Between Mermaids and Men!
When I was a kid I dreamt of playing the Doctor one day. I'm 25 now. Dream is dead isn't it.
she's going to fuck the wheelchair girl's 400 pound polycule xe/xim gf and if you don't like it you're a chud
GODDAMNIT BRIGGS, GET OUT OF OUR TV STUDIO AND BACK IN YOUR SOUNDCAVE!
bella ramsey
I was gonna say Big Finish but it turns out she was in a game which I think is lost media now lel
The Doctor and Belinda create a wish baby in the wish world based on Poppy from that episode.
The wish world is destroyed and reality is restored resulting in wish baby also disappearing
Ruby is the only one that remembers her existing, but eventually gets the Doctor and the others to remember her as well.
The Doctor sacrifices his regeneration energy to alter realty just enough that wish baby becomes real again.
The Doctor succeeded, but ended up changing reality in a way that meant he is no her father anymore.
Yeh, it was shit.
Doctor Who's Agents of Shield.
None of Gatwa's tears or breakdowns ever came close to eliciting any sort of emotional response
unlike...
The second wilderness Doctor is wank material.
Are you white?
"it's too close to the 'queen and country' of the evil Torchwood lady, but she was an actual imperialist"
They weren't "queen and country" in the 70's though, despite the British Army aesthetics, they were an explicitly transnational *military* taskforce which occasionally committed genocide
how the show is firmly pro-neoliberal
I can't believe they did an unironic "two rights don't make a wrong, the real way to win is to preserve the (wrong) status quo sing a musical number that everyone first slow claps then applauds and then cheers"
It felt like a parody of children's media.
With green eyes
EMERGENCY TEMPORAL SHIFT
Wow! Look at all these powerful women arriving to save the day! #GirlsGetItDone
the doctor needs to become an asocial ass for a while and just drop all the baggage of the ballooning supporting cast. just her and some pet humans in a box fighting aliens.
female doctor who fucks unlike jodie will be very strange but ncuti eased us into it I suppose
Him being gay, emotional and happy was his personality.
ok when do the Cybermen show up? haha love those guys
I'm going to look through Big Finish and you'll tell me if they're any good.
I miss Gary Russell.
Will be interesting to see how sexual 16 is. 15 fell in love with Rogue ON SITE.
Imagine if he regenerated into DUGGA DOO. Now that would be funny.
you were supposed to get excited for the rani and omega
Sorry, it's never going to happen
If you are trans yes.
as I said in a previous thread- this shit was a deliberate tactic to force the BBC's hand by getting significant press coverage
the early revival series was popular and widely watched so this is a last roll of the dice thing for RTD and doctor who as a whole
the fact that the mail fell for the bait suggests that this might actually work
Shit.
I can't imagine her saving Rogue now so he's stuck in hell forever I guess?
slandered
Interesting word to misuse.
I sincerely wish they keep the Cybermen frozen within whatever tombs they've retreated to. They don't deserve whatever fate or shoddy design the writers and production team have in store for them
normgroids gritted their teeth throughout all of chibnall's abortions
for some reason this episode is what made the dam break
why? I mean it was terrible but why this one specifically?
a man's stoic sadness feels much more impactful than constantly bursting into tears for no good reason
who woulda thought
Hi Russell.
why did hotel woman keep downplaying herself
NEW
THAT MOTHERFUCKER. IVE FIGURED IT OUT.
Everyone is a diehard omega fan and the shoddy treatment was the final straw.
the fact that the mail fell for the bait
I for one can't believe that a reputable journalistic outlet such as the Daily Mail would hoover up every piece of meaningless pop culture schlock it sees people talking about online.
It seems so out of character for them.
they will love a female doctor who is not woke, nostalgic for a better time and sexy to the average british pigman. it's a winning formula for mail readers.
most widely read news website in the UK but okay sweaty
who the fuck is this
someone else make a general thread, there's 50 things to freak out about and get people posting and this retard makes a thread about a spinoff nobody watched
so what was the crab thing then
they love her. RTD won
The Fugitive Doctor
chibnall added a pre-hartnell doctor to foreshadow a revelation that the doctor isnt a time lord
hodor
It's a damn shame because I was interested how exactly how a doctor that restored his emotional health after every thing he's been through would be like. The answer is "we're not going to explore that in any meaningful way".
every single leak was true
Oh, my giddy aunt...
Regeneration´s are really getting ridiculous. They somehow got away with it with the meta-crisis Doctor Donna thing but i guess people kind of forgave that deus ex asspull because Meta Tennant ended up in a different universe and Donna kind of got mind wiped. Which is to say no lasting consequences.
Then there is the Capaldi thing, which was probably done so that continuity purist wouldn´t call them out for casting Capaldi when he had already had a part on the show (as if anyone would have remembered that. It was a very minor part)
And now the whole bi-generation thing... is it really that hard to not rewrite the rules that give consistency to your universe every 2 seconds?
The answer ended up being "the Doctor is openly gay now"
I like this rhino fellow
If anything it should be a K9 thread considering Omega.
she was here first
Why didn't they call the new show 'War of the Sea Devils' or something remotely interesting?
The Capaldi thing is fine. I think it bothers diehard fans that there's never an acknowledgement or explanation as to why the sixth doctor looks like a character who was fairly prominent in a serial a year or two beforehand. Moffat's explanation for Capaldi isn't done for sensationalism and doesn't come across as ridiculous whatsoever
but poppy was a space baby so is she both now?
Season 3 should be half way shot by now read for broadcast this time next year
They have even got scripts
RTD is off to Channel 4 for the next year to do some gay drama
Gatwa's team never wanted him to take this job as his star is rising in Hollywood. Everyone expected a season 3 renewal from Disney and Gatwa expected to be filming at a specific date which he said on Graham Norton. That was cut from broadcast.
Disney have dropped. Because of that Gatwa wasn't going to wait around so he quit and fucked off to Hollywood
The guy that leaked everything about season 2 and was right about 95% of it all is from the post production team of Unleashed and said that the ending was changed three or four times.
That production photo which came out last week with everyone clubbing was the original ending
The Doctor, Ruby, Belinda and Kate dancing in a club. Camera pans out to see Susan watching setting up the next season arc
It's over, anon.
It's probably a heavy handed metaphor for xenophobia. Land and sea. Get it? Like Brexit, or something.
No, this was worse than the crab. Why in the FUCK is he a skeleton???
If bigeneration is ''mitosis'' then he is not The Doctor at all, he is his child
They shoulda could it 'Surf & Turf War'
>"And the glorious thing about this story is that you to the fi-nale is that she's the only person who knows what's going on because she went through events of 73 Yards. I love this."
I love this
yeah we know you do, you wrote it you faggot. that explanation also makes 0 sense
the doctor's neice (formerly daughter) only shares a name and likeness with the space baby because she is based on his memories of that space baby. she is sort of a clone.
I don't know what universe you came from but I couldn't stand any time he opened his mouth or deliberately moved from point A to point B in the most effeminate and spastic way possible
that is because your prejudice inhibits your ability to judge
i'm surprised people hate the casting of piper so much, i can see it. she is way more appropriate for the role than jodie at least. i mean everything else about the show sucks now so it's not as if it matters, but still on paper i think she could be a decent doctor
The Doctor looked all through Belinda's life and saved her from being hit by a car as a child
Was I phone-watching when this supposedly happened?
in a vacuum she's a great casting for the role. the problem is the context. she has starred in the show before, and only a couple years ago they pulled a stunt bringing back a previous star at the new doctor
And so it came to pass that the players took their final places, making ready the events that were to come. The madman sat in his empire of dust and ashes, little knowing of the glory he would achieve. While his saviour looked upon the wilderness, in the hope of changing his inevitable fate. Far away, the idiots and fools dreamt of a shining new future. A future now doomed to never happen. As Earth rolled onwards into night, the people of that world did sleep, and shiver, somehow knowing that dawn would bring only one thing. The final day.
I remember it being kino even though I was wondering who that guy was (I was quite young when End of Time aired)
But Mrs. Flood would have kept it.
main reason for me is it feels weird to jerk off to the doctor's thighs
It was Russell's subtle way of shitting on Chinballs, who had the Doctor and Companions visit the ruins of Gallifrey and find rows of abandoned TARDISes.
it didn't make sense that he would have restored his emotional health anyways. it's not like he was plucked from 14's future, he split off of him
Why was the 90's so kino?
Look how sick that promotional shot is. That alone is better than all of NuWho. I aint gonna lie.
The movie isn't even good.
The lengths a black man will go to to abandon his children.
Chibnall couldn't get enough of them
Didn't he only use them in the New Year episodes and Jodie's exit?
All I remember from that era was drinking lots of cherryade and keeping the empty cans.
kino
Didn't he only use them in the biggest episodes of the year
For me the ONE good bit was Rani saying 'I've lost the room, haven't I?'.
Except she's actually Belinda's biological, genuinely produced through standard intercourse daughter.
The only one that wasn't was crab omega
MAKE IT MAKE SENSE
You think the holiday episodes aren't forgettable junk? And they were a bit part in the finale. They were UNDER-used.
They're the episodes that attract the biggest audience.
Belinda who was adamant about keeping her daughter had only one day of memories of her, and never gave birth to her.
Now Belinda has full memories, including the birth
This is supposed to be sad, because the Doctor also had one day of memories of fatherhood?
She is NOW, after the Doctor altered reality. But her TRUE origin is from the wish world. The doctor rewrote reality to make poppy real, this included some rando impregnating Belinda, and belinda mentioning poppy every episode. He literally rewrote the past.
sure she is now, but she originated from the wish
Nobody ever mentions that Capaldi was also in Torchwood: Children of Earth.
Post sexy Billies. Gonna have an innaugural wank to welcome her as 16.
Ncuti was supposed to get shot right at the end or something.
The God of wishes is neutralized by wishing for no more wishes
Are you fucking kidding me?
Great episode, really enjoyed it overall. 8/10!
Bad Wolf
God of wishes is given to the Foster Mom who immediately throws her children out the second the timeline gets a little wonky because searching for his real parents would be too much effort
