We know, remember, they did a whole Rosa Parks episode where evil white male aliens want to stop the whole bus thing from happening, so all of the Doctor's companions gather around and complain about living in a white society (even though they already established that britain was always heckin' diverse) and then they all go watch Bill Clinton on the tv to make themselves feel better.

Yeah they were describing series 1, I’m currently giving it a rewatch and it honestly holds up well nearly 20 years later. Characters like Cassandra are camp but we all come across these diva types once in our lives, the emotional beats hit in all the right moments. Chris already brings a standout scene in the second episode when he makes the speach about the earth one day being nothing , rose has equal characterisation and a good blank slate for audiences , music slaps . It’s honestly a neat perfect revival, there’s a reason it had been a success in an era where it was constantly critiqued as being cardboard sets and bubble wrap Aliens . And honestly it’s a jarring the same showrunner made both series 1 and season 1 . I think Russel’s strengths was his writing did play on writing realistic characters , you watch a show like queer as folk and it’s best bang into what gay culture is and then watch it’s a sin and it’s heavily skewed and sanitised with not an inch of realism but what could be. Rtd at some point got all his views and experiences through anything if but really life and it shows so badly. People call his character of the doctor too human but in the context of the show it makes perfect sense . I don’t even know if there’s an in universe reason behind nciti being flamboyant and calling people babes and honey

last year I went on a binge through pretty much all of classic and new who. one thing I was really surprised of was how smooth the transition felt between McCoy's last season in '89? and the first revival season with eccleston. I guess because towards the end of classic they started doing more shooting on location which gave it that urban london feel that RTD's first run has, and also was starting to use visual effects. anyway it really felt like a continuation of the same show as it was when it went off air, just modernized.
watching through RTD again for the first time in a decade, I will say it hasn't aged as well as I remember it. I can see a lot of his present flaws in it, like his contrived endings and his idea that emotion trumps logic. but he wrote characters was WAY better back then. and the whole gritty tone of the show and the kind of edgy 2000s soap opera thing it had made it charming and made you look past those flaws in the writing. on top of that, it was just edited and directed better. and the scripts had more room to breathe.
this return kind of feels like george lucas syndrome, it's like RTD hasn't been told no and to reign in his nonsensical stories anymore. and I don't know what happened but he can't write characters for shit anymore.
I will say I agree with the 'RTD's Doctor is too human' sentiment, on rewatch I vastly preferred Moffat's characterization of the Doctor as somebody who was strikingly alien but still had a human center. Tennant on rewatch kind of got on my nerves. He's charismatic for sure, but his kind of egoistic, self important Doctor wore thin on me. It works in the greater context of his character development across regenerations. but I just don't love it. it's the side characters that really excel in RTD's first run imo.
Ncuti is a bad Doctor for a different reason though. Tennant's ego-trip arc like I said works in the greater context. but Ncuti doesn't feel like the same character at all.

If Sutekh's gift of death turned everyone into dust and then they reconstituted at the end of the episode but were still dusty for some reason, where did the extra dust come from? More importantly, why won't someone think of the poor daleks being killed and then brought back but now their highly self contained vessels are full of dalek-dust. Are they self cleaning enough to deal with that? Do that have to open up each dalek chassis and some poor fucking dalek squid has to manually clean them out? If Sutekh killed everyone everywhere then how does everywhen figure in to it? The Doctor has been to a lot of times at different points, did the universe die out at different points based on when the Doctor arrived in that region of space the earliest? If that's the case, then was the Doctor just flying to the ass end of time in the episode when everything was dead? He wasn't using a Sutekh-infested tardis so he presumably could have gone places that hadn't died yet, and presumably things couldn't have died at the beginning of time because we saw fallen civilizations and ruins. Can Sutekh make a boulder so large that he himself cannot dust it?

>i didn't understand why he said cultural appropriation on this part

The ancient Egyptians got the ideas and concepts for their gods from the memory and artefacts of the Osirans. It's a similar set up to now the Isu in Assassin's Creed form the basis of most of the Gods found in pagan pantheons in those games.

Calling it cultural appropriation is a quick humorous way to explain it, turning it on its head as it's an ancient civilisation doing it to a civilisation that's even older.

Of course you can bet that mid-wits watching will get it the wrong way round and think it meant the older Osirans were somehow being accused of cultural appropriation of the Egyptions and start screaming "WOKE!!!!!" at the top of their voices, in scenes reminiscent of that but in the movie " Return to Oz" when Dorothy wakes up Mombi's heads.

It's probably being hard carried by Sutekh's gift of memes in /who/ but that stupid fucking finale was more fun than most. Rather than getting pissed off about a dumb retcon so the Doctor is some super space god and the time lords stole his power rather than just a disgruntled time lord himself that stole an old tardis and ran off with his granddaughter, I can instead imagine what Sutekh's up to in every story after Pyramids of Mars

His contract runs for 3 seasons and he will be popular enough to be offered less actor roles in Hollywood and want to do more RSC stuff too, so he is going at the end of that even if RTD wants him to stay and he enjoys the role.

If Disney are still involved, and they will be as it's this show that attracted under 30s back to Disney + one Disney in general so they got exactly what they wanted (look at the box office for Inside Out 2 for an example of the Doctor Who effect), then it's most likely they will ask for an Asian female Doctor. Their go to Celestial is Awkwafina and she certainly has the comic timing and distinctive look that would make for a great Doctor in a Matt Smith way.

Classic "finales" are a slightly different beast. "Seasons" as we view them were sort of retroactively created later, but as we see them now:

The show attracted under 30 year olds in late numbers. They were abandoning traditional tv shows and films because they are "too long" for tiktok and Facebook reels, but they came back for Doctor Who, which helped them find other things they liked on D+ and got them excited about and confident enough to watch films again. That's why Disney bought it and judging from the record breaking opening Inside Out 2 had it worked. Nobody was watching Pixar films (see Turning Red getting the same treatment as Haunted Mansion at the cinemas) and now everyone under 30 is. That's what Disney wanted, something that would play well with young people, anything else was a bonus.

Inside Out 2's success has nothing to do with Disney+. It's the exact opposite; it's a significant box office success after a string of failed attempts at releasing content direct-to-Disney+ (such as Turning Red)

They don't check the ratings for every house in the country. It's a select sample of people representing multiple demographics to give an overall idea of the population.

Similar to election polls - you question a sample of people rather than the entire country. That sample should be representative of all walks of life.

The Mondasian two parter was dog shit. The set up and premise was solid (although part one's ending was ruined by atrocious cringe directing by showing Bill's tear beneath the Cybersuit, fucking stupid). Part two was full on trash. Went from a nicely paced actual story of humans resorting to Frankensteining their own bodies into machines to survive because they've been stranded in one place for so long, then it becomes LE CYBERMEN WITH LE ROCKET SHOES LE FLYING AROUND AND LE EXPLOSIONS AND LE SHOOTING LASERS. Moffat is a hack.

I can get behind this. The only 7 part serial that justifies its length for me is Inferno, although desu you could hack it down to a pacier 6.

I like the green goop from Inferno. What do you think would happen if you smeared it on your dick?

>>200463606
This looks great, but I am glad they went with the cloth faces. These designs would legitimately terrify children, but the cloth masks wouldn't. Yet it leaves most of the horror up to the imagination, so when you think about it, then cloth masks are even worse than these designs.

Not really, it rests on being a phenomenally well directed serial. There's a good reason why Graeme Harper was the only classic director tapped for the new, modern Doctor Who. His approach was genuinely cinematic, at a time when Doctor Who was still thoroughly rooted in the theatrical
>>
>>200464721
Let's not go crazy.
>>
>>200464485
That would have been decent, yeah. Or seeing a few of them on gurneys, so that it's presented as a sort of unfinished half-way point or another way of cobbling together these cybermen. Actually, it would have been good to have a load of mismatched designs and features, so they look like they were made in desperation, but maybe it would have cost too much, or something.
>>
>>200464765

>>200464767
Peter Davison's era had some genuinely well-directed (if not written) episodes.

Earthshock is genuinely cinematic, and Kinda is borderline experimental.

>>200464857
I'm still mad they showed us the 'evolution' from Mondasian design to RTD design to Moffat design, and skipped showing us the 80s design. The 1980s Cyberman design is the only one NuWho has never given us :(

About 50% of this was just because he's gay and black.

To be fair, most of the major ones - Douglas Camfield, Peter Grimwade, David Maloney - were dead
>>
>>200464936
It's fairly easily explicable; Tom Baker had dominated the series for 7 years. He'd managed to assert himself as *the* Doctor, both by the length of his tenure and the force of his performance (especially during the Williams years, where it all just devolved into 'The Tom Baker Show'). Getting the public to accept a replacement was a tall order, and trying to out-presence the man was an obvious dead end, so they tried to make the Fifth stand out by going in completely the opposite direction. Make him quiet instead of loud, agreeable instead of domineering, friendly instead of snappy, just make him the anti-Tom Baker
>>
>>200464946
Yeah, exactly - you can tell they're going for a Black Box Theatre vibe.

>>200465056
And in fairness, it worked. Davison worked and the era performed well.

It's just a shame he was often lumbered with too many people in the TARDIS.

I'd say that more comes down to the difference in focus, where JNT actively wanted to push the series into being more of a human drama because he was a poof and thought soap operas were the height of storytelling, but none of the writers were interested in (or particularly good at) that kind of thing so it just results in long stretches of what's meant to be interpersonal drama, except no one has any decent material to work with. Meanwhile with Troughton, you're going into the Innes Lloyd period where the focus is just on introducing monsters and chasing them down corridors, so Troughton's constantly being given something to do and that gives him a lot more scope to really create a character through his performance
>>
>>200465364

>>200465417
There won't BE a season 3. Labour government at the point though, so the writing will shift from internal struggles to external ones, and tribalism will be a good thing. Expect cybermen. The license for daleks is gone, but they'll want to bring people back somehow.

Matt Smith watched Tomb of the Cybermen and that was enough. if he'd watched every episode ever before then, he'd be like RTD, Chibnall, etc. where he has some very specific fanboy idea of what the character/series should be like. that's bad.

Probably not, he's got mates in high places. He's been working on-and-off for the corporation since the 1980s, and has just recently been commissioned to write yet another new BBC drama about faggotry. That's the key difference between RTD and JNT, JNT spent all his time courting fanboys while RTD spends all his time courting other people from the TV industry

If it is true (and that's still *if*), it can't be based on calendar years just by virtue of the Daleks not appearing at all in 2018 (between Twice Upon a Time in Dec 2017 and Resolution in Jan 2019)

Yes, a man working on the current TV series would outright lie about working on a new Dalek design because... uhhh

Yes, they lied in CiN Unleashed when they said Daleks would be back

Yes, all sounds like perfect sense to me. The Nation Estate having a problem with Twitch streams in 2017 sure would be relevant to a show airing in 2023 and beyond with new people in charge.

The once a year/series thing is a myth. BUT the Nation Estate does not like the involvement of third parties and threatens to cut all ties over it. They came perilously close over twitch streams, so I can't see them being any more lenient with Disney, unless the were paid a LOT of money up front.

There's the cope that we *heard* a line of Dalek dialogue in a trailer for Resolution, but who knows.

Just gunna leave this here too.

>Steven Moffat has denied that the Daleks appear so frequently because of a contractual obligation.

>Speaking at the recent Royal Television Society panel: “You certainly don’t wheel the Daleks out because you’ve got a contractual obligation to provide Daleks.”

>He adds: “I think Doctor Who is great when there are Daleks in it [and] I don’t think you should go too long without Daleks.

>“For a child, a year between Dalek stories is an eternity – I remember as a kid saying ‘Why haven’t they done the Daleks for ages? It’s been four or five weeks!'”
>>
>>200465588
Gender swap. Not something either the core fanbase or really even casual audiences were clamouring for. Caught up in the cultural war aspect, which was the only reason why it even happened as opposed to any actual creative reason. Did nothing with the premise. Even with a better showrunner/writer you run the risk by writing a female Doctor that does something with the gender change as either being patronising to women and/or insulting the audience broadly. The gender changed opened the floodgates to how the next Doctor had to be non-white, which, like it being a woman, is something that could have been done in a different era and worked but stood no chance in the current climate.
>>
>>200465761
>Yes, a man working on the current TV series would outright lie

I get the impression that Missy was some misguided attempt by Moffat to try and silence people that were demanding the Doctor becomes a woman. The thing is it is just one of those things where it just encourages them.

No, the BBC had to do a shuck and jive, remove all the episodes and make separate streams for them, likely with all the monetisation carefully examined by the estate to make sure they got their cut, as per the agreement already in place.

The argument being made is they did nothing with the gender change. A female Doctor could have worked but they utterly botched it. I also can't imagine many black fans are impressed with the 15th Doctor being an emasculated cry baby.
