Disney has officially ended their co-production deal, but the BBC will continue to produce the show with a one off Christmas special next year starring Billy Piper, written by the legendary Russell T Davies and introducing a new companion ahead of a full season 3 to premiere in 2027.https://apple.news/ARZKmR8ZvTn-tykoyf6VJHw
>>215561859>Billy Piper>Look this up>Horrible bimbo lips>Second image is even worse
>>215561859Russell T Davis needs to goThey should get J. Michael Straczynski in as showrunner
Is Buck Zesty back as the doctor?
>>215561913Nah, he regenerated into Rose Tyler.But there might have been a secret bi-generation that we didn’t see with the Jodie Doctor.
>>215562009>bi-generationHow did they fuck up one of the most defining concepts of their own show? Every Doctor should have an ending, otherwise whats the point of the regeneration?
>>215562282I always thought RTD doesn't really know how to write science fiction and he gets worse every day.
it's Doctor Who, not Doctor Gay Black People
>>215561859What for? Who even watches this anymore? The final Capaldi season was shit, I managed to force myself through a few episodes of Dr. Whoman and that's it. Couldn't even be fucked to watch Gaynigger from outer space. Apparently others didn't either since Disney didn't care about co-producing more shit.
It's over, give it up. The desperation is obvious bringing back a beloved character from the glory days. They were going to make her the Doctor and everyone hated it. Even the old fans aren't buying the shit they serve up now.
>RTD still thereShant be watching.
>>215561859I want Doctor Nigger to stay gone
>>215562580The BBC seem to be desperate to make this version of DW work somehow. It's ideological to them to not have to admit that people just liked the Doctor when he was a white heterosexual man, and that's all they're interested in seeing.
>>215562009wat? he regenerated into Rose blowjob Tyler. Was she still alive in the timeline?
>>215562009I'd like to see Rose be Bi with the 13th Doctor, if you get my meaning.
>>215561859SACK
>>215561859When its too gay even for Disney you know you have a problem
>>215561859>and introducing a new companion ahead of a full season 3 to premiere in 2027You had me worried for a bit then. The article doesn't mention this at all, so i can assume the special will be just to wrap up all of RTD's retarded era and provide a clean slate for a future return of the show
>>215561859100 its the tardis having swapped with the doctor
>>215561859>>215562009i don't get it. why do they keep russel t davies up? he already proved to only be capable of producing shit. season 1 was shit, season 2 was shit. but i thought that would be it. no one would willingly burn money, right? so why are they actually burning money on this? are they actually this stupid?
>>215562580The last Capaldi season was one of the best seasons, what are you on about lmao
Legendary. This huge faggot ran it into he ground. On his first run his blatant shoehorning of homosex put me off, but I still watched as it hadn't reached the fuckery it got over the last couple of years. He's a fucking awful writer.should bhe get proprs for bringing it back? Why? Anyone could have done it and anyone else probably should have. The blatant left learning homos of the BBC waited to bring him back to subvert kids and all he did succeed in was turning viewship down.It was a tradition for a good couple of years to watch an Xmas dr who special but no longer.It's dead. Bringing up piper was his hail Mary. No one wants this shit. Llet to die for 10 years and bring it back with a showrunner with sci fi cred and budget. And writers who shift this into a proper dark sci fi show. But right now it's still fucking homos all around. Disney killing this should have gotten him fired. Instead he'll try and tone down his momo urges to indoctrinate little kids and wait until times past so he can subtly do it again. No more faggot! Die of aids!
>>215562009>Time Lords can now choose what they regenerate into>The Doctor turns himself into a physical copy of a woman who has a crush onIt's hilarious how creepy and weird this comes off if you apply their own standards to it. Or even if not tbqh.>>215562282>Every Doctor should have an ending, otherwise whats the point of the regeneration?Tennant memberberries are now the show's safety net.
>>215561859More like Dr who watches this overrated slop?Faggots that's who
>>215563158The finale was alright. The rest, not so much.
>>215563236>It's hilarious how creepy and weird this comes offthe doctor can now abuse rose's body as much as he wants. imagine him masturbating in front of the mirror
Is Georgia Moffett really that shit of an actor that they won't take the obvious route of having her as a Time Lord?
>>215561859the next doctor should be a shota boy doctor played by owen cooper
>>215563133well, hardcore Doctor Who fans (the ones still watching, I mean), seem to have walled themselves into this narrative that somehow Disney and too much budget was the problem, when clearly it's Davies and all of his friends who can't write for shit, that are the problem.
Just have this lil nigga show up, and everyone has a laugh about a woman and a black doctor.
>>215563767I'm into the "Doctor wakes up with a new body and missing memories, and we just move on" concept. Let the audience decide how much of anything is canon. How much does it even matter?
>>215563678Doctor Who fans are the most uncritical people on the entire planet. You could serve them a bucket of shit and they'd slurp it up if it had "DW" written on the side.
>>215563792>How much does it even matter?0 chibnall had 0 respect for the established lore, davies did the same. if a new shorunner came up and said "everything after peter capaldi was a bad nightmare induced by the master", it would be on the same level of quality and retconning that both chibnall and davies didactually it might be more entertaining to watch
>>215563133>no one would willingly burn money, right?When you effectively have infinite money due to being taxpayer funded. Yes, they would willingly burn money as long as The Message gets across.
>>215564039but it doesn't, really. the shit they produce pushes people to the other side.
>>215563678I think that they had a too large budget after tennatnts first run. I really liked the rubber monsters and such. You had to rely on your imagonation to make the show work.
>>215561859oh for fucks sake he killed the ip now they are letting him dig it up and piss on the remains. fuck the bbc
>>215564039They don't have infinite money that's why they approached Disney.
RTD has written television i like, including 100% straight-up faggotry. Queer as Folk is good.but at this point i'm convinced he has skeletons in his closet. every male actor (besides Eccleston) from the reboot was a bit dodgy and/or an outright sex criminal.but he's just a cheeky chappy, our Russell. a bit like John Nathan-Turne--WAIT NO
>>215564210He seems like someone who enables bullying on set if he thinks it's funny and doesn't let anyone tell him otherwise. Barrowman was doing straight up harassment and Tennant and Tate thought it was hilarious thing to talk about, Tennant farted on set to gross out Freema.I imagine that a zoomer girl like Gibson wouldn't put up with this and that's why she quit and turned the plot into a shitshow. Serves him right.
>>215564035if I were the showrunner, I'd have the Master dive into the Doctor's time stream to rip open the time vortex to sell as an energy source, to trick people into burning up time itself to fuel their greedI'd bring back Eccleston as the Master and a new actor for the Doctor, with Capaldi as a secondary Doctor that only stays around while the time vortex is openthe only way to save the universe is to blow up the time vortex, which undoes all of the bullshit that Chibnall and Davies caused, gives an ending to the Doctor's original timeline, and setting the show back to a clean slateis it lazy? yesis it a way to save the show? yes
>>215564253I'd just do a time skip and most of it would be too irrelevant to mention again. We just have another episode structured like Rose and that would be it.
>>215564210>Queer as Folk is good.please put a plastic bag over your head and scotch tape around your neck
>>215564268that's more realistic but also doesn't solve the problemsI don't think the fans want a continuation of the bullshit, they want a fresh start
we can all agree that Toby Whithouse should be the new showrunner, right?
>>215564253that's a reboot and it might work, but i personally would prefer a complete undo of chibnall and davies 2. same way they undid the doctor's personal story and regeneration mechanics. literally go back to the timeless child and make it the master, literally go back to the toymaker and uno all the episodes from that point on.
>>215564210>every male actor (besides Eccleston) from the reboot was a bit dodgy and/or an outright sex criminal.apart from probably shagging Jenna Coleman, what did Capaldi ever do wrong?
>>215564290Fans don't care as much as they think they do. They like to theorycraft on their own, but on screen it'll be a waste of time. That's the mistake of Chib and RTD2, they theorycraft on screen. This is a tempting but toxic activity.
>>215564313>from the rebootYou quoted the answer yourself
>>215564252>Barrowman was doing straight up harassment and Tennant and Tate thought it was hilarious thing to talk about, Tennant farted on set to gross out Freema.the latter is fine, really. not my sense of humour but actors do stupid shit (been watching those Lord of the Rings behind-the-scenes clips lately, good stuff).but yeah getting your cock out, Errol Flynn style, that takes a specific group of mates. the sort of thing you really shouldn't assume is funny to everyone by default.wouldn't bother me or tar someone by association BUT our RTD is over-correcting about the strangest shit when it comes to the content of the actual show. Queer as Folk was once 'progressive', now it's about an ephebophile groomer who doesn't get arrested and that is NOT okay!!!1
>>215564325oh you mean from 2005yeah that makes a lot more sense
>>215564277Queer as Folk is sociopath/nightlife kino. a bit 'edgy' but without being miserable, that is EXACTLY what i want.
they definitely shagged though
>>215564361what's stopping women from looking like this 24/7?
>>215564396social media algorithms
>>215564298Pete McTighe - has show run before, has written episodes for the show recently and is in charge of the new spinoff is the most likely candidate.Personally, I'd prefer someone completely new who has never touched the show before. Get us out of this spiral of classic era fan showrunners
>>215564430what about the guys doing Slow Horses? that show is phenomenal
>>215564430>Pete McTigher/antiwork on suicide watch
>>215563595Look at that smile. He chubbed her up to his liking and is enjoying the hell out of her body.
wouldn't mind an anthology series that just so happens to pop up on telly at random. different writers, different (or same) Dr Who.they're basically already there with the hiatuses and "this year it'll be a few specials" so why not?
>>215564439Stranger Things ends soon, so they could get the team who did that, except they're probably too expensive for the BBC and even worse, American.
>>215561859Hooray the nightmare continues
>>215564531Stranger Things is a clusterfuck ever since Netflix intervened and demanded they abandon the anthology approach they were going to do
>>215562009>not realizing this shit is blacked propagandadoctor who was always woke. that is the only reason they did shit>dude black and white exactly the same just like the michael jackson music video
>>215563158It can't be good because there's a black woman in it who is a lesbian It's illegal for it to be anything but shit
>>215564593despite that, it still managed to be good
>>215563158>"now that Clala is gone we'll get the REAL 12th Doctor">he's exactly the same lunatic simp except less edgy and more preachy
>>215564593I don't even remember the lesbian part but she was just really boring and kinda ugly. And ignoring her more than half the season just felt really half assed. Obviously it's still better than what came afterwards but that is really not that high of a bar.
>>215564593>a black woman in it who is a lesbian and they forgot about it.>"mum, i have something to tell you...">mum disappears>fucks off with a space puddle witch??? reminds me of how the Danny Pink stuff felt unresolved. his great-great-great...-grandson is a time traveller from the end of time. and then he just dies. or at least "dies" by NuWho standards: every "dead" character reappears as, essentially, a ghost.
>>215564649I liked when they remembered "oh shit Bill is a lesbian, let's have her on a date with another lesbian black girl" and then the Doctor parked the TARDIS in her bedroom and out comes the Pope and several cardinals
>>215564633Personally my favorite were those ancient aliens who ran a gorillion simulations in order to take over the world eventually but never came up with the concept of giving NPCs their own seeds and shit so they wouldn't find out they're in a simulation by being forced to say the same number at exactly the same time. That's some really riveting scifi shit.
>>215564674as far as simulation stories go, it wasn't half bad
>>215564649>and they forgot about it.ah yes, she definitely wasn't saved from a beautiful tragic death by a female magic puddle that wanted to fuck her.
>>215564674that CERN scene was pretty kino. VNA-level dark.
>>215564674it's literally "done to death SF stories 101, #1".Moffat doing that was the definitive proof that even him had completely ran out of EU ideas to rip-off and the series was really done for.
>>215564733so then her mum loses her daughter?one of the best things NuWho did was give the companions a home life. little bit of soap opera to break up the time travel. i care way more about some everyday human drama than i do sappy space magic while Murray Gold yells "THIS IS EMOTIONAL!" in my ear.
>>215564796I'm not talking about the first episode but about the puddle girl returning at the end of the last episode to magically save Bill from dying as a Mondasian Cyber(wo)man.
>>215561859It's time to accept that this show is dead and just enjoy what came before it went completely off the rails, there are plenty of episodes. Download everything, there are good torrents and it's all available, even old Who. My stopping point is just after series 7 of nuWho with the episode The Day of the Doctor. It actually works really well as a final episode, every previous doctor makes an appearance and the ending wraps everything up pretty nice. Capaldi's brief appearance just looks like old Tom Baker who is heavily implied to be another future Doctor. You'll miss out on a couple of decent Capadi episodes, but they are nowhere near enough to ignore they collapse in quality during his run. Its better to dismiss everything after Smith and pretend it didn't happen. As for oldWho, I skipped a lot of filler episodes, but that still leaves dozens and dozens still worth watching. I'm not wasting my time in hope that this show will be good again. It's already been ruined and raped beyond all recognition, and there isn't the talent or the desire at the BBC to fix it.
>>215564865>As for oldWho, I skipped a lot of filler episodesopinion discarded
>>215565019Of I could afford the storage I'd have them all.
In a just world, the next Doctor Who would be a sneaky manlet like Troughton. But as we live in hell world it'll be non-gender conforming LGBTQ POC or some such nonsense. I really wish they had just ended this embarrassment long ago
>>215565041they're all on Internet Archive if you don't care about SD quality.
>Goes out his way to justify the Doctor getting more regenerations after the cap is reached>Next two show-runners decide that doesn't even matter because the doctor had countless regenerations before his 1st incarnation and now Timelords can just bi-regenerate.Sometimes I feel bad for Moffat
>>215561859We literally already had a thread on this: >>215546208
>>215561902JMS is seventy one years old.
>>215562282>>215562368It's because RTD's husband died and this is his way of copingSame reason he retconned Davros' "wheelchair" and had the Doctor battle the god of death and brought everyone back to life
Are they retarded?
>>215565270Why? None of his stuff is canon anyway... except the fez, the fez thing is canon
>>215565270What the fuck is a bi-regeneration
>>215565300>and brought everyone back to lifeExcept the timelords
I'm convinced the BBC has another Michael Grade figure who hates Doctor Who but has realised the surefire way to kill it for good is to utterly destroy its lore and be so protective of the brand that any wildnerness years style novels would be impossible
>>215565318An excuse to keep David TennantWhy are you in a doctor who thread if you know literally nothing about doctor who?
>>215565318Time Lords have this super special form of mitosis where they can essentially have a child that is yoinked out of them under extreme circumstances.I say child because RTD can't decide if it's actually just making the character split in two, or if they're having a child as Old Rani refers to her younger mitosised self as her child
>>215565324one could just write unlicensed novels with a character known as the professor. the more disconnected the writers are from the BBC the better
>>215565270>wouldn't if it be lovely if I set the road map for the foreseeable future of the franchise by establishing that Gallifrey is back. Think of all the stories!>next guy comes along and immediately kills them all again
>>215565370>Doctor Who without TARDIS fetishism, without Time Lords/Time War lore, without MOST IMPORTANT COMPANION arcs>just comfy adventures in time and space and nothing elseNu-fans could never
>>215565382the less Time Lords bullshit the better. that's why Moffat immediately cancelled his own "finding Gallifrey" story arc.
>>215565424You don't have to kill off the Time Lords if you don't want to do stories about them. Just don't make them. Making the Doctor the last of the Time Lords again is lazy writing.
>>215565382No one likes new things. We want things the way they were when RTD was in charge>Last of the Timelords>Young, sexy Doctor>Brooding about massive loss of life caused by him>Big goofy aliens>Rose>No home to go back to>Panto Master>Classic Era Sidekicks
>>215565504RTD killed the show twice. the first one was by creating it.
Why didn't the Master just bi-regenerate? Is he stupid?
>>215565424There's literally nothing wrong with the Time Lords simply being there, so they can be factored into stories (or not). You people have seen like no Doctor Who.The Timelords were established and active throughout the entirety of the 70's, which is considered the best era.
>The christmas special reveals bigenerations are a weaker offshoot and not-rose is zesty doctor burning out>Tennant was always the real doctor and now he's back on his adventures after a holiday please come backYou know its going to happen.
>>215565504The tearing up every time Gallifrey is mentioned bit got so formulaic after about the second time they did it. that's why I was glad for it to be over.The Doctor is not fundamentally a character defined by grief. He's a mischievous little bastard who sticks his fingers up at authority. You wouldn't know that only watching nu-who where he generally *is* the authority, because RTD didn't get it.
>disney dropped it>it floppedBut they will double down after the criticism lmao ñ
>>215565678>ñhow does this happen?
>>215565641I don't think at this point there's anyone who DOESN'T know it's going to happenThe real question everyone has is if this means there's a THIRD David Tennant on the merchandise now
>>215565644Standard Definition you fucking zoomer. aka 360p or 480p actually most episodes are interlaced but you wouldn't get what it means
>>215565715god i remember playing this shit with friends as a teenager, had no idea what we were doing.D&D 5E nerds i am begging you: play other RPGs. 'the d20 System' was bad enough.
>>215565647>He's a mischievous little bastard who sticks his fingers up at authorityhe is a trickster figure and he thumbs his nose at the authority of his own people but i don't know i would go so far as to say he sticks his finger up at authority in generalregardless the doctor is best when the writer remembers he is not human and people just mistake him for human, especially his companions who are more like pets than friends
>>215565715technically there already should be since the Metacrisis Doctor actually counts as a regeneration.
>>215565736>360p>480pbut BBC broadcasts went out in the 405-line Marconi-EMI system (also known as high definition).
>>215565736Newfren, whenever anybody asks "X? What does that mean?" in a Doctor Who thread, it's the mentally ill attention seeker who should be ignored.https://archive.4plebs.org/tv/search/text/%22rtd%20what%20does%20that%20mean%22/https://archive.4plebs.org/tv/search/text/%22vna%20what%20does%20that%20mean%22/https://archive.4plebs.org/tv/search/text/%22npa%20what%20does%20that%20mean%22/
>>215565783you'd think people would have learned this is one of his pastas by now but every time some anon always has to try spoonfeeding him
>>215565745the best system i played was the West End Games D6 system that they used in their Star Wars role playing game. It is easy to use, easy to modify, fun, and fast.A shame I have not played a table top game in twenty years but i remember it being great fun with friends.
I think Doctor Who should take two or so years off from having actual seasons and return back to seasonal specials until they find a show-runner who seems confident in making something good.I mainly say this because Moffat should've written a Halloween special years ago
>>215565747>he thumbs his nose at the authority of his own people but i don't know i would go so far as to say he sticks his finger up at authority in generalSecond Doctor did this right IMO. i prefer the Time Lords as callous rather than buffoons (a lot of the Third Doctor stories) or outright megalomaniac psychopaths (NuWho).he's against their authority because they're wrong, not just because he's a naughty schoolboy.
>>215565745I really want to play the Red Dwarf ttrpg, if I ever have any friends.Rulebook is on Internet Archive.
>>215565769yes but>basically all master tapes prior to S7 were wiped and survive only as film telerecordings, where interlacing is lost>starting from S7 the colour standard was actually 625-line>digital conversions are always rescaled to standard digital multiples 360p/480p/576p/720p/1080p or their interlaced versions if possible
>>215565745these VNA-era covers had great composition but good God the artstyle is painfully ugly.
>>215565370That's what BBV did.
>>215565868I love it. The slight offness is charming.These days it'd just be promotional stills and photoshop.
>>215565876I have listened to most of the big finish seventh doctor radio plays but not bbv. Is the one you pictured any good?the doctor as devious chess master, he is by far my favorite doctor.
>>215564210>including 100% straight-up faggotry. Queer as Folk is good.You're mentally ill
My vote for the new Doctor Who is Julian Barratt. He'd be based and I know it. However if its gotta be someone in RTDs gay boy club, then Reese Shearsmith would be good
>>215561859Was never a fan of DW, but just like Star Trek, it's been dead *for years*, they'll never make any good stuff ever again (not before the regime has been deposed, at any rate), and people need to accept it already. All that's going to happen is they'll dig up the AIDS-ridden corpse and rape it some more. Let it go.
>>215565868>>215565899someone post that big collage of the book covers.you can basically pinpoint the exact points where digital art took off, then Photoshopped photos, then giving up on any form of art entirely.
>>215565899the late-PDAs/EDAs photshop was terrific. mostly because they didn't feel complied to put the Doctor's face on them, it could be any of them, what actually matters is the story. plus they can get pretty abstract, it looks like real conceptual sci-fi.
>>215566012That's fine enough, but I'll always have a bias for a properly painted image that depicts a scene.
>>215566012i have a soft spot for 90s/early-00s 3D renders that i can't explain.
>>215566152I too had a digital blasphemy wallpaper when I was young and yeah that early 3d art is kino.
>>215566191>Digital Blasphemyfucking hell that takes me back.for me it was Bryce 3D. render a shiny sphere over a lake, that shit was magic.
EDA/PDA covers are kino but sometimes they got way too abstract or fell into a pattern of circles. It felt like they were unauthorized novels despite having a big DOCTOR WHO logo on the front.
>>215565845It blew my mind that the BBC were still tape wiping all the way through the Pertwee years. Mind of Evil and Dinosaurs have episodes that only exist in black & white and had to be digitally recolored.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXOBHnWiinYfair play to this laddie. 'we saw your animation online, we want to make it the official intro' must be a dream come true.now they just need to find some fan fiction weirdo pumping out decent fan scripts. i'm sure he's out there.
The R2D intro sequence looks like something NeonVisual diarrhea'd out
>>215566428https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_the_Dinosaurs>This is the last story from the Pertwee era to contain an episode that was colourised from a black-and-white telerecording after the original colour version was irretrievably lost. huh, i didn't know this. only seen it once but i might not have even noticed. thought everything was intact from 'Spearhead from Space' onwards.i'm glad the internet has so many people obsessed with archiving. surely SOMEONE at the BBC was livid they just viewed television as some ephemeral thing, go ahead and tape over Z-Cars.
>>215566476>now they just need to find some fan fiction weirdo pumping out decent fan scripts. i'm sure he's out there.I know Star Trek used to accept script submissions and that is how some writers got their start in the industry. It is a shame the industry does not return to that tradition it would be a great way to source things people want to watch.A shame the people with with power only want to produce bad propaganda.
It's the BBC. They will go even further and get a black transexual to compete with channel 4. They are so deluded they double down on thier distorted world view despite it causing lower views. In thier rush to be "diverse" they made a gang of master thieves black, but it just looked like a bunch of niggers were trying to steal the TARDIS. I fully expect the series villain will be based on Reform and Farage mid controlling people to put up flags and will come off to normal people as incredibly based. No, I stopped watching a few episodes into capaldi after that annoying Mary sue Clara was still there. And It looks like I made the right choice, I left before that insufferable, fat puff who looks like humpty dumpy joined the show.
>>215566529>A shame the people with with power only want to produce bad propaganda.i wouldn't mind AS much if it felt like one person's view.>Guests are reminded that Platform One forbids the use of weapons, teleportation and religion. the Beeb in general was on some anti-religion/anti-Christianity kick (the Hitchhiker's Guide/QI crowd especially). but fine, RTD is probably irreligious or outright anti-religious.now that'd feel 'unsafe'. got to account for everyone. or invent stupid controversies about space wheelchairs and non-consensual scanning.
>>215561859>Dr. Who becomes a woman stops watching> Dr. Who becomes blackforgets the show even exists.
>>215566723Don't forget she was also a black woman.
Tom Baker is still alive. Bring him back.
Wait are people still watching this show about a zesty alien nog?
>>215566775and that was actually mildly interesting for a bit.hell, we've had two different baddies recast as Indians now and both were fun. they deserved better stories.
what were these H. R. Giger things?
>>215561859>zestier>buckier>bolder>BLACKER!>>>/wsg/6014053
in my opinion, Ncuti Gatwa isn't even black. black people have darker skin and are really into Christianity. plus they call beans 'peas' for some reason.
>>215566530>I stopped watching a few episodes into capaldi after that annoying Mary sue Clara was still there.I would say based but>implying the previous companions weren't Mary Sues
>>215561859I am so excited!
>>215562656Racism is bad.
>>215561859In an alternate universe, Dr. Who ended with dignity on Twice Upon a Time.I shall pretend I was part of said universe.
>>215565335So fucking stupid. But I guess they can do whatever with Doctor Who now. They ruined it a long time ago now anyway.
>>215564210Tennant isn't a sex criminal.
>>215567270I've noticed the same people who say Clara is a Mary Sue also go WOSE TYWAH BEST COMPANION EVAH
>>215564430>Personally, I'd prefer someone completely new who has never touched the show before. Get us out of this spiral of classic era fan showrunnersThey probably wouldn't know what to do though.
>>215562282>Toymaker "makes a jigsaw of Doctor's history" thanks to the Doctor invoking superstition at the edge of the universe, accidentally opening the door for gods to pour in>Bi-generation was seen as a myth/impossible>Bi-generation can now happen thanks to the Toymaker and his reality manipulation bullshit making myths happen, gods are now appearing and fucking shit up (Lux, Maestro etc)Hopefully it'll stop now that the gods are pretty much defeated
>>215564585>doctor who was always woke. you're a fuckin idiot
>>215568302both are Mary Sues. both gain undeserved super powers and get better than the Doctor at doing his job.they're two different aspects of the corruption of the core Doctor Who premise in the reboot to please the shallow young female audience.
>>215566827He's no longer the main character anymore.
>>215568291yeah, he just cosplays as one
>>215568441
>>215568473
>>215564355He is a big gay
>>215561859This show is worse than dead. Imagine if your grandad's body was dug out of his grave, lipstick and makeup was added to his face, and he started getting fucked in his deceased arse by a tranny with a gigantic dick while every tabloid celebrated it.That's sort of the current status of Doctor Who.
They should've killed Mrs Flood and kept the new Rani.
doctor who died with peter capaldi its overhttps://youtu.be/dl1RjYUziIo
>>215563767He was wasted in that one-off episode. Would’ve been good as The Master.
>>215563133> i don't get it. why do they keep russel t davies up? It’s the BBC, so I’d say it’s a mixture of it being funded by licence fee payers, the fact that it’s an Oxbridge old boys club and the catastrophic mess he made of the last episode in particular. You’d be less likely to find someone decent to replace him if he doesn’t clean up his Billie Piper cliffhanger mess.The first point is especially important - the BBC cares relatively little about the ratings. As soon as he has to deal with Disney, they gave him one batch of episodes, looked at the quality/ratings and noped the fuck outta there.
>>215568603They should’ve just had Mrs Flood on her own. Think about it. All that build up over two series for her to be the sidekick of a new version they just introduced.
>>215566530> fully expect the series villain will be based on Reform and Farage mid controlling people to put up flags and will come off to normal people as incredibly based. I thought they already did this one a year ago?
>>215568441>>215568473>>215568493It really makes you wonder what was going through Tennants head during the "you're a dumb male-presenting time lord not a smart trans woman like me"Like he must've eaten all that crap up
>>215565270I didn’t really think his era was that great at the time, but he had more respect for the show than his two successors and will be the only showrunner to come away from NuWho looking decent (provided we don’t get Moff2 next).
>>215568410ackchyually Colony in Space is about collective socialism versus private industry, my 2-hour video essay on the matter is nearly complete.
>>215561859Why this nigga looks so zatsy, i am not a doctor Who fan but i would break this nigga buck, i am not even gay but now i get that buck breaking feeling.
>>215565715My prediction is a Tennant Piper reunion with Daleks and the new non-wheelchair Davros. Basically The Stolen Earth but worse.
>>215568950They seem to have had a massive fallout over his abrupt quitting. He doesn’t even mention Gatwa now
>>215566152What I can't fathom is how they managed to make those CGI shapes have perfect curves. All those renders look smooth as fuck, but if you look at any other CGI that came about after that was supposed to be more advanced, it looked janky as fuck.
>>215568950Nigga, you gay
Threadly reminder that Mind Robber episode 1 is the best episode of Doctor Who
>>215568800Having only eight episodes per season was a shit move, because they had to cram so hard
>>215569409I can see that number decreasing even further without Disney funding.
>>215569532How did it get this way?It's a TV show, it doesn't need to look like a movie
>>215569048it's mostly because they use no textures, but perfect curves were quickly deemed "unrealistic" and "uncanny", meaning you couldn't sue them in VFX, and couldn't use them in video game cutscenes as well because real-time engine weren't able to generate them.nowadays all engines use more bumpy curves and "realistic" textures that all have some sort of grain.
>>215569409>>215569532When Chinballs decreased the episode count to 10 he had least made them longer (55 minutes) so you got the same amount of minutes if it were 12 episodes (they were just really boring and dragged on)But RTD brought the run time down to 42 minutes
>>215569048perfectly-cast shadows, too. e.g.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X3GD0UnBCkor Jar Jar Binks walking around Tatooine in The Phantom Menace.maybe it's just the shape flattened and contorted, but games took a while to pull off 'real' shadows. horrible memories of making Half-Life/Quake maps and the baked-in lightmap coming out wrong.
>>215569163>there's no one else with the qualifications that the BBC would be comfortable with willing to take it on.i just cannot believe that. it should be their jobs to pick talent. the newer stuff is so shit that even a 20 year old fanfic writer would do better.
>>215569555even with Disney money there's this fake sheen whenever actors are against a fake background. they really need to stop doing hoverboards in Doctor Who.
>>215564210it's more or less socially acceptable for gay men to engage in relationships with underage boys, it's just handwaved as "part of their culture". you're not meant to talk about it and bringing it up as an issue will get you labelled a homophobe. it's probably nothing more than that.>>215564253my idea was some kind of an alternate 13 that regenerated after 12 is fatally wounded fighting the Cybermen, rather than waiting and 'cooking' and going through the events of TUAT, ending up with a much darker version of the character that's closer to 9 than 10. but she's not meant to exist yet, time vortex paradoxes, yadda yadda, alt-13 does the timey wimey and basically reboots everything for a new 13th Doctor to take the stage.>I'd bring back Eccleston as the Masterinterestingly Matt Smith has always said he'd love to come back as the Master or some kind of villain explicitly using 11's face.>>215564430>classic era fan showrunnersit's not even that, it's that all the showrunners thus far have been friends outside of the show, the nepotism is just another element of the show's demise. you can even see it outside of the show like "Doomsday" where some literal who youtuber gets an ENTIRE MULTI-MEDIA EVENT centered on her character because her older brother works for Big Finish.
>>215569716Jodie is so cute when she pouts
>>215569716>>215569836Such a shame they put Jodie in the least sexy outfit humanly possibly
>>215565300executives need to leave their personal lives outsidehire writers to write shitDan Harmon did same thing with Rick & Morty
test
>>215569925they should have gone for the Sue Perkins look. even before they decided she was a lesbian/bisexual.
>>215570369that would have been cool too, anything other than making her dressed like an autistic 30 year old woman with the maturity of an 8 year old.
>>215569925I think she's very cute in this tomboy outfit
>>215569089For me, its Tomb of the Cybermen. Doctor Who transitioning to colour was a mistake
>>215570417Jodie is cute, and also kinda hot. But the show made her look like a dowdy autistic spaz.
>>215565918Honestly, the BBV audios aren't all that bad From memory, these ones are the best to listen toProsperity IslandThe Left Hand of DarknessThe Other SidePunchlineI Scream (not Professor and Ace but starring Lisa Bowerman)Can't remember Ghosts, Only Human, Blood Sports>>215566476Never knew that was fan made. iirc the 13th doctor time vortex was fanmade too.
>>215570417>she's very cuteNigga she was utterly sexless
>>215570240>all style no substancei liked when they started integrating on-screen captions into the scene (as was the style at the time)ANDwhenever they rendered alien planets more like a painting (Karn in 'The Night of the Doctor')seems daft just throwing more and more money at visual effects rather than doing practical stuff. they filmed that landmine episode on some Unreal Engine digital backdrop. the episode where they COULD have just filmed in a quarry.
>>215570473that's precisely what makes average looking girls cute. if you try to make look like models with tons of cake up and you end up with a chav like Rose Tyler. do you seriously imagine RoseTyler being the Doct-oh wait
>>215570473the Doctor IS sexless. whether you like it or not. and if you don't you're either a woman, a tranny or gay.
>>215570369If only
had a gf who looked like Jodie Whittaker (she got that one a lot, even before Doctor Who).i did NOT need reminding of her constantly. once you go BPD, you'll never be free.
>>215563133Cause no one really wants to run doka hoo
>>215570699Nah that's autistic cope. Doctor Who fucks and always has fucked. The only incarnation who is truly sexless is Jodie
>>215570869>Doctor Who fucks and always has fucked.that's just plainly untrue.
>>215570869>The only incarnation who is truly sexless is Jodiewhy DOESN'T she just fuck, if she's just in love with Yaz, and not 'asexual' any more?is this what Tumblr means by 'queerbaiting'?
>>215561881I like the fact that she does lots of nude scenes now.
>>215570956did anyone watch that True Love programme? how was it, overall?>Episode three centres on Holly (Billie Piper), a teacher who lives alone and is in an unhappy affair with a married man. Holly develops feelings for a student in her class (Kaya Scodelario).saucy stuff.
>>215565300That's also why he's obsessed with putting wheelchair-bound characters in NuNuWho and making sure no character really dies.He's THAT fucked up from his gay husband dying from AIDS or whatever it was, and having to be in a wheelchair
>>215565300>>215571038When he wrote that scene with the wheelchair crippled folk complaining because they're "invisible" to the chuds you could tell he was absolutely seething while he typed it up
>>215570894>1 has a granddaughter so must have fucked at least once >2 got that goofy swag that women love (plus he can be a sneaky trickster who manipulates women)>3 is way too dapper to not fuck>4 clearly fucks Romana (and maybe even Sarah Jane)>5 is a young dashing hero type surrounded by multiple sexy female companions >6 definitely fucks >7 might not fuck, but could easily manipulate women into having sex with him >8 clearly fucks. He has the first onscreen kiss>War probably fucked in the Time War at some point >9 has a whole episode about how he fucks (The Doctor Dances)>10 fucks and it's referenced multiple times >11 fucks and it's referenced multiple times >12 bangs River for 24 years on Darillium13 is the first sexless Doctor Who. Probably because Jodie was the first miscast Doctor Who too
>>215571114>they're "invisible" to the chuds what does that even mean? (not you, the 'message' of the scene.)reminds me of the transsexual Rose actor going on about 'feeling seen'. surely equality means you just fit in?
>>2155711766 and 10 are gay.
>>215571176most of these are headcanons, stretches or not proper arguments.NuWho Doctors are non canon anyway.
>>215571177It was such an absurd and hilarious scene When that InfoWars guy took over the world and made it so there were no gays and women stayed at home as housewives, the disabled weren't affected because they didn't exist as far as Conrad was concerned And you could tell RTD was just foaming at the mouth and screaming>YOU HEAR THAT YOU FUCKING NAZI CHUDS!!?? STOP IGNORING THE DISABLED!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>215571177>trannies want to be treated like real women>but they also want people to acknowledge that they're tranniestell me again why are we playing along with their mental illness
I’m seeing a lot of cope about how Disney pulling out means RTD will have to be more restrained for the Christmas special. I’m expecting a Reality War style mess, but on a shoestring budget.
>>215571442Why on earth would he have to be more restrained? He's not even bound by Disney money now, he can do whatever the fuck he wants and the licence fee funding will just keep coming in no matter what
>>215571471Some people have led themselves to believe that all the retarded stuff was added at the request of Disney because they once asked him to add in that scene with the falling snowman
>>215568840he probably wrote the line
>>215571177Actual equality with men is being entirely invisible and interacted with as often as dogshit on the sidewalk, you have to parse their words like you do those of women. Equality of course means selective benefits and no responsibilities.
>>215571309Nuwho > classic who
If they just double down every time on their failures, that is exponential growth of failure.Relatively soon our known universe will not be big enough to contain it all?

>>215571501he mentioned some other minor requests they made. 'you need a scene INTRODUCING the Doctor!' = him telling a random policeman about his fiancée. i wouldn't be surprised if the Tennant intro/recap was a later addition, a lot of the same info is given in the episode proper.it might be petty but i don't want them to have ANY creative input. the American influence is creeping into British telly all over the place:https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2024/dec/07/us-uk-television-ted-lasso-industry
>>215570706Both this and the hoodie she wore for the teaser were her best looks. Why the hell did they insist on dressing her like a toddler in the show proper?
>>215572520The 10 and Donna intro/recap was absolutely added at the insistence of Disney, and director Rachel Talaylay had no idea they added it until she watched the episode live.
>>215561859As a gay fudgepacking homosexual I need a juicy twink boyfriend with a cherry red ass to stuff me full of steaming hot manchowder every Saturday afternoon before we tuck into a nice bundle of fish'n'chips and settle in to watch Judy Garland movies.Anyway this show is a bit 2gay4me.
>>215572579very odd. pretty funny.i've always taken it as a given over here that you have one writer (or a duo), they write the script, that's what ends up on-screen. stuff getting cut out or different writers not coordinating is nothing new to Doctor Who, but NuNuWho sounds like a clusterfuck. in the Sutekh finale, The Doctor randomly has a whistle around his neck. they just deleted a whole sequence of him travelling through different sub-TARDISes.would be interested to hear about the behind-the-scenes meddling if the cast/crew can be more open about it some day.
>>215573071why do homosexuals like Doctor Who, anyway? what's the connection there?
>>215573294Torchwood
>>215573294Hard to say. Something about it is extremely appealing to arse bandits, butt pirates and chutney ferrets.
Boom is pretty funny if you think of it because it seems to hell-bent on removing governments from the anti-war story.Why did the soldiers come to the planet? What is their objective? Nobody knows. Nobody has high enough rank to order a retreat. In Moffatverse wars happen because dumbass soldiers walk into an empty field and start shooting.
what's that one xitter account that lists all the behind the scenes drama in both classic and nu who? some are what the bbc doesn't want you to know about but come from actors'/producers' autobiographies and such

>>215573867>2008 Christmas was almost a Harry Potter crossover. With *her* guest starringkek JK Rowling is now literally Voldemort
>>215574541Surprised they never tried to do a Big Finish sequel to Sleep No More. Now Jodie's doing post Capaldi era stuff they could always just throw it her way
>>215574690I know Big Finish would milk everything, but I don't know what sequel to this one can possibly be.
>>215574690is her BF stuff any good? like the difference between Colin Baker on the show and how they rounded him out more in the audios? or too early to say?>>215574706Sleep wasn't real, it was some kind of cursed video like the Ring right? so i'm assuming it would follow up on that, where we see the real world consequences of someone watching the cursed video.
>>215574778I guess cursed video would work. Feels kinda generic though, like those creatures aren't that unique once everyone stops watching. I guess it's a decent zombie apocalypse.
>>215574778>>215574812Sleep No More ended with the signal that was used in the pods to transform people into sand men being encoded into the video and sent out there.The obvious audio direction to take it is the signal moving from the video format to the audio format I guess? Something like sandman tunes to fall asleep to as a gimmick, spread it on the internet like that
>>215574659funny how harry potter is still one of the biggest franchises ever and most normies don't care about what JK Rowling says
>>215574943plenty of authors have said worse.did you know Roald Dahl wrote sexist pornography and the Oompa-Loompas were originally black pygmies from Oingo Boingo Land? and maybe he said something about the Jews, too?dead or alive, absolutely nothing happens. if Rowling is on the 'wrong side of history', the Harry Potter books will still be children's classics forever.

>>215574943Hogwarts Legacy breaking all those sales records despite how hard those subhumans screeched was whitepilling. shame the game was so mediocre.>>215575135>The story was partially filmed at Wookey Hole Caves, a location renowned for bad luck. When scouting the ancient cave system for its suitability for location shoots, director Michael E. Briant's wife found some Iron Age arrowheads and decided to take them home, unwittingly calling an ancient curse on the production team. First, the team encountered a strange individual in potholing gear who had apparently wandered into set, of whom the staff had no knowledge, which the director began to believe was the ghost of an Irish potholer who had died in the cave three years earlier. The boats used in the cave scenes repeatedly broke down; assistant floor manager Rosemary Hester had to be replaced due to an attack of claustrophobia, and unit armourer Jack Wells was taken seriously ill. Elisabeth Sladen and Ian Marter approached Briant with concerns that he had forgotten to record a scene, only to then find themselves unable to locate it in their scripts. On a day when staff disobeyed instructions not to touch the "Witch" formation (said to be the petrified body of the witch), Elisabeth Sladen nearly died — her boat went haywire and she had to dive overboard to keep herself from smashing into the cavern wall, where stuntman Terry Walsh had to pull her out to save her from drowning, and who later fell ill. An electrician broke his leg when a ladder collapsed under him, and the pyrotechnician found nothing would light or work correctly. The director took the arrowheads from his wife and reburied them, after which production ran smoothly.
>>215573294doctor is a father figure, which they're missingbut he's also charismatic, so they would like to get fucked by him
>>215561859Damn its really hard living in the UK, I can at least go to eat some Texas BBQ and watch The Dodgers and get a blowjob and go to my boring 9-5 tomorrow. Even the interracial commercials have really seemed to die down.I just hope you guys get to find peace somewhere along the line, don't forget to find your joy through hobbies and let go of the past. This can only bring you sadness.
>>215575508i wonder if anyone went back and dug up the arrowheads.

This era of nostalgia stunt-casting can't end soon enough. Not only can't Hollywood/BBC not make anything new, they're actively preventing young actors from getting their start because an old actor comes back as a new character. The only thing keeping them from using AI zombies of dead actors is fear of public backlash.
