>>220499521>AMC+ announced today that it will be the new, exclusive streaming home to 13 seasons and 175 episodes (including specials) of Doctor Who (2005 – 2022) in the US, beginning Thursday June 11. The longest-running British science fiction television series, which premiered 20 years ago this year in the US, follows the stories of a regenerating Time Lord who travels on adventures through all of time and space.Here's your new home who fags
>>220499652>nuwho only>not even the disney stuff so it's not completeFuck that
What happens if the version of the previous Doctor from the bigeneration process is killed? Do they bigenerate again? Would they bigenerate into the same "next" Doctor they did previously, or would an entirely new one be created?
>>220499685The franchise is in a bad state. They'll take what offers they can get
>>220499696It literally doesn't matter
>>220499650They really did Bonnie dirty but it was a rough time for the franchise
According to Lance Parkin, the Doctor is his own father and had 13 kids with Bernice Summerfield, and those kids were who died in the war. Susan is apparently their granddaughter.
>>220499852>I'm half-human, on my mother's side
>>220499852The Virgin era of virgins was uh... interesting
>>220499771Yeah it was one of my favourite shows but the McCoy era basically made me realise I didn't want to watch it anymore
>>220499706That would be funny if the Disney seasons and specials were stuck in a legal limbo forever.
>>220499521I thought Mel was cute
>>220499650>amazing arse
>>220499913The McCoy era is one of the best of classic who.
>>220499913It really turns around in Season 25 but by then it was too late.
>>220499902In Lungbarrow, the Doctor is Leela and Andred's son. He was the first natural born child on Gallifrey in forever since the Time Lords were cursed with sterility. The curse was finally removed in that book, and 7 was adamant that Leela name the kid after him.
>>220500169The Doctor was the reincarnation of The Other
>>220499852And 8 eventually regenerates into William Hartnell(or Geoffrey Bayldon), creating a closed loop of his entire existence.>Infinity Doctors>Auld Mortality>A Storm of Angels
That time when RTD wrote a 7th Doctor novel in which his male companion gets down with the 80s gay scene
>>220500272Him being loomed too was dumb when the Other could've easily been a future Doctor travelling into Gallifrey's ancient past. Both Parkin and Platt had the Doc born in the future, but with their adventures as the Other happening at opposite sides of their life.>ParkinPost-8>PlattPre-1
They should do a spinoff series showing the gap between the Fugitive Doctor and Hartnell.
>>220500517They should not acknowledge that retardation at all
>>220500406>Auld Mortality>A Storm of AngelsAccording to these>The Doctor became a famous children's book author on Gallifrey>Susan is the daughter of the Doctor's daughter. Probably Miranda who was the daughter of a future Doctor who became Emperor of the Universe post-Gallifrey Chronicles.>Susan herself is old and has grandchildren of her own. And she's the President of Gallifrey.>The Doctor creates a young clone of Susan to go on adventures with.>Old Susan was eventually labeled for execution but secretly switched brains with Clone Susan, and this is the one we meet in the show. So TV Susan's a whole grandma pretending to be a teen, unbeknownst to the Doctor.
Interesting the material that the novels came up with in the 90s/00s that NuWho would end up stealing, namely a Time War that ends with Gallifrey's destruction.
>>220500747There were like 9 Gallifreys and the Doc only destroyed one, which is why the war continues without him in the Faction Paradox stuff while he has amnesia in the EDAs. Big Finish explained this away by having Brax travel into the past to prevent Romana from regenerating into Romana III in Enemy Lines and preventing the entire War in Heaven. But because war is inevitable, the Last Great Time War happened instead.
>>220500852The 50th anniversary special really ruined the last great time war. >soldiers on gallifrey fought with star wars-looking pew pew guns>daleks using all their conventional weaponry>the moment didn't actually do anything>gallifrey got teleported away and the daleks killed themselves with crossfireWhere were all the star-eating cosmic abominations? Where were the timeline erasing superweapons?
>>220500931Moffat himself admitted it was a mistake to try depicting the war on screen He did try to handwave it away by saying it devolved into conventional shooting after every cosmic abomination was exhausted
so is it dead for good
>>220501118One can only hope.
>>220500852Faction Paradox turns into Larry Miles's shitty fanfic after he gets butthurt about the BBC
>>220499521JNT era was full of bad decisions around the mid 80s. Like when he hired gay fat jew Ian Levine to be the "guardian of the lore".
>>220501167His shit's objectively better.
>>220499852>>220500169I'll take these origins over the Penelope Gate nonsense because that reeks of an obvious self insert by Kate Orman. Penelope Gate, the supposed human mother of the Doctor, was some chick from the past who made the first time machine in Victorian times which got the attention of the Doctor's father. She was also described as being a redhead and "plump" IE FAT. Disgusting.
>>220499521omg i want to fuck curly redheads so much
>>220500406BFslop is just as bad as chibnall and RTD2. If I were in charge I'd just do a full reboot again
>>220501954>BFslop is just as bad as chibnall and RTD2Get the fuck outta here. Old Big Finish was good. It's when they got the New Who license when they went full retard with the occasional gem hidden in the shitpile.
>>220501794lol
Jim Mortimore wanted 8 and Charley to get married for real. Not just for one story,but as a permanent status quo change.
>>220501919Don't we all brother
>>220502039We've had close to 40 years of erasing the Cartmel Masterplan. Fuck that. Reboot the show and have it ignore everything after 8
>>220502173>>220501794So basically the Virgin New Adventures and the BBC Books would eventually suffer from the same self-indulgence as NuWho would. Well, no coincidence a lot the writers were the same.
>>220501685Ok Larry.>Doctor Who was ALWAYS shite except for when my holy presence graced itthat same self-important egotistical attitude that the rest of those boomer britfags would get
>>220501154I'm almost afraid of what the final fuck-you special is gonna be like
>>220502173You know what? I don't think that would've been too bad of an idea, well except for it being a permanent thing.
>>220503839>Billie Piper is the Doctor because...?>will absolutely have Tennant in it, he can't stay the fuck away
>>220499550it's a cliche that only nuwho "fans" keep repeating.
#milliondick
>>220500517it literally debuted this year.you're welcome btw.
>>220504397This. Most classic female companions were capable and intelligent (without crossing the "girl boss" line). Only ones like Susan and Mel fit the stereotype. In the case of Susan, she was originally intended to be an audience self-insert, and fellow companion Barbara was very strong-willed.
I'm surprised the show never brought back the reapers.
>>220499521It's bewildering. They knew exactly what they were doing since she was already pretty famous before she was cast and well known as a shrill, over exuberant musical theatre type.
>>220502347yes and no. the craziest ideas were filtered by the editors. authors can say whatever 20 years after, only the final product counts. in NuWho the showrunner is both writer and producer, and the BBC higher-ups doesn't give a shit about the lore so he has carte blanche to rape the characterisation and/or the lore as he pleases, which all three of them did.
>>220504508Susan is literally a child, to be fair.
For the record a lot of criticism of the Colin Baker era is post-nuwho revisionism. Season 22 had about the same ratings as Season 21 and viewers thought it was fine.But Seasons 23 and 24 were godawful and were received as such even at the time.
>>220504634Meant to say Baker and early McCoy
>>220504634A lot of it is people who pretty much weren't watching at that point, and just hated his costume.I don't entirely blame them, but it's not as shit as it's made out to be. C.Baker's stories generally range from surprisingly good actually, to just weird and demented in quite a fun way.
>>220504738I love how weird and demented most of S22 is. It's quite the opposite of what they were doing with Davison.I can't fucking stand Trial of a Time Lord (S23) though. Fuck that noise.
>>220499650>amazing arsepic unrelated?
>>220504508Peri is also captured quite often, but usually it doesn't last very long. she's more like a permanent redshirt, and the 6th Doctor is physically attacked almost as often.Mel is pretty much the same but she screams higher, so that's the only thing people rememberearly Tegan also was a bit of a damsel in distress in S19, but the cliche was subverted to turn it into a mild form of psychological horror since she has to find the strength to overcome a journey she didn't chose, and she effectively succeeds. so in the next seasons where she's way more confident.
>>220499650>amazing arseleotards are cheating. we also need to bring them backi did not care for matt smith
>>220504738>and just hated his costumeyou missed the part where he wore his costume for the entirety of S22 (not to mention Twin Dilemma at the end of S21) and ratings were not affected in any way.good way to expose yourself, nuwhofag.
>>220504899I've spoken to people who were watching in the 80's, and their comments on C.Baker more or less begin and end with saying his costume was shit.
>>220504738Colin Baker was an interesting experiment. Peter Davison had nothing much going for him - he was mostly just "nice" and soft-spoken and perhaps even a little bland. Put up against weak villains. But here comes Colin Baker. The Doctor is an embodiment of pure chaos. Look at his fucking coat for Christ's sake. The universe is full of cannibals and pedophiles and talking poo businessmen. Davros feeds Onions Green to people. It's all delightfully twisted.
Also, goes without saying, but you can have a TV show on in the room, and not really be watching it. There were like three channels back then.
>JNTa Dr Who showrunner having gay sex with underage fans? hmm....
>>220504963It almost reminds me of Lexx, which is pretty much my favourite TV show ever. It's an acquired taste.
>>220504963also it's not 2016 anymore i think we can stop filtering s.o.y.l.e.n.t.
>>220504930you missed the part where the collective remembrance about the 6th Doctor was permanently damaged by the BBC itself to justify the first cancellation. this is simply Mandela effect and confirmation bias since all nuwhofags hate the costume (because they were told to hate it to fit in).
>>220504986There was a Lexx episode that had almost the same plot as Vengeance on Varos, as well
>>220503839they're not still doing that are they
>>220499852>>220500406we're at the point where we realise this shite is wholly uninteresting, right?whenever Time Lords showed up who knew him, the implication was he was just a renegade who didn't like their rules and ran away. you don't need to write extra layers to make him The Chosen One.
>>220505028I guess, but it seems like people have an unenthusiastic attitude toward that phase, at best. People very rarely come forward and say they loved Colin Baker when they were children. Some people (inexplicably) really like Peter Davison, and some people really liked McCoy, once they introduced Ace and kind of tapped into the whole punk/anarchist aesthetic. You either hear nothing about Colin, or you hear people say he had a shit costume.
>>220505074I'm afraid so.>>220504983I'm a little sad that he died of AIDS or whatever before he could see popular opinion on Doctor Who come back around
>>220505154>I'm afraid so.Christmas special? With Billie Piper?
>>220505170They're filming in the hot sweltering summer of '26.
Anecdotally, whenever they would play old episodes on TV when I was a kid, I loved the Tom Baker ones, tolerated the Pertwee and Davison ones, thought Ace was really cool, and more or less just turned off whenever Colin was on screen. And that was childish of me, but the costume is not visually appealing. There's no cool factor to it.
>>220505142>Some people (inexplicably) really like Peter Davisonnuwhofags and proto-nuwhofags. Moffat was one of them.
>>220505185>Doctor Who will return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer in December 2026 with a special episode written by showrunner Russell T Davies.>https://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/doctor-who-tennant-ai-xmas-afa-106867.htm>David Tennant Returns in Doctor Who Xmas Special Set to Use Groundbreaking AI to Recreate Past DoctorsI'm shocked and dismayed that the neurosyphilis ravaging RTD hasn't been fatal yet
>>220505154>I'm a little sad that he died of AIDS or whatever before he could see popular opinion on Doctor Who come back aroundSylvester McCoy era Who just wasn't very good IMO. i say this as someone who likes the Jon Pertwee era the most: it's too fucking Earth-centric. they went everywhere and everywhen in the 1960s, why are robots always invading 20th-century England? i think the gap between the production design of a daft telly series and a big-budget Hollywood film has essentially disappeared now, but this was a show where that never mattered much. the one thing they DID have control over was the writing. there are maybe three decent JNT era stories.
>>220505137Yeah, the insistence on making the Doctor "special" just paradoxically makes him less special. He's cool specifically because he's just some minor noble who got sick of his stagnant society, and ran away to have adventures, and the whole thing spiraled out of control.also, for fucks sake, the endless cope in regards to Susan not really being his grand daughter, because the Doctor "can't have sex".Look, just because it's something of an unwritten rule that he doesn't have relationships on screen, doesn't mean he comes from a species of sterile aliens. Maybe it would be improper for him to be shagging about because he's a grandfather, and he still has feelings for his original wife, eh? Maybe it's just that.
>>220504963When Moffat decided to go 1% darker with Peter Capaldi and the 2014 audience had the same reaction as the 1985 audience to Colin Baker which was 100000% darkerNuWho really poisoned people's expectations.
>>220505286>April 1
>>220505286>“The Ghosts of Bigeneration Past”
>>220505325Yeah I don't know why the 90s authors suddenly got hung up on the Doctor being asexual and spinning elaborate reasons to support it.The Doctor had lots of pussy thrown at him throughout the show. The most obvious that comes to mind is the priestess in The Aztecs.
>>220505349but can you imagine? i'd bet that was to gauge reactions
>>220505325>the endless cope in regards to Susan not really being his grand daughter, because the Doctor "can't have sex".>Maybe it would be improper for him to be shagging about because he's a grandfather, and he still has feelings for his original wife, eh? Maybe it's just that.https://metro.co.uk/2013/04/08/doctor-who-director-the-doctor-has-become-too-sexualised-3588516/>Doctor Who director: The Doctor has become too sexualised i'm with Waris Hussein on this one tbqh. he doesn't need to be 'asexual' in some 'identity'/PC way, it simply does not matter.it's like whichever Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book introduced a girlfriend for Arthur Dent.>'This Arthur Dent,' comes the cry from the farthest reaches of the Galaxy, and has even now been found inscribed on a mysterious deep space probe thought to originate from an alien galaxy at a distance too horrible to contemplate, 'what is he, man or mouse? Is he interested in nothing more than tea and the wider issues of life? Has he no spirit? Has he no passion? Does he not, in a nutshell, fuck?'
>>220505286That has to be an April Fools' joke, right?
>>220505541The article is a joke but there really will be a Christmas special, RTD just keeps being coy about it
>>220505319the budget had been completely slashed by the BBC, way more so than during the Pertwee Exile era. JNT didn't want to pull out a narrative justification but it was basically Exile 2.0. they simply couldn't afford alien sets anymore. hell, they couldn't even afford keeping the TARDIS set, despite it being literally 4 walls and a console at that point.the BBC allowed the series to continue to save face, but they did JNT dirty.
>>220499550those are his best companionslet the doctor do his thing, and the birds are for looking at

>>220505325>for fucks sake, the endless cope in regards to Susan not really being his grand daughter, because the Doctor "can't have sex".This book ends with him and Bernice hooking up. 8 was treated as the Doctor that could fuck.
>>220505642Yeah man. He was actually a bunch of little black girls before Hartnell and formed Time Lord society and was the source of regeneration before SHE got mind wiped.
>>22050533112 wasn't really that dark.
>>220505718he was half human on his penis' side
>>220505642>'i am the specialest of special-men! i have seen countless stars in unknown galaxies, places unfathomable to your un-special minds!'INTERESTING...?
>>220505325>the endless cope in regards to Susan not really being his grand daughter, because the Doctor "can't have sex"that's not the real problem. the real issue is the Doctor leaving Susan live her life with a human she fell in love with. this made sense in the context of the episode because both the Doctor and Susan were supposed to be human, but it's impossible to reconcile with the later retcons that say that the Doctor is an alien and regeneration is universal in his species. if the Doctor can't have sex WITHA HUMAN because of this, why did he let Susan do it? so the point is less about Susan not being the Doctor's granddaughter and more about her not being a Time Lord, or at least not a full-fledged one.
>>220505137>we're at the point where we realise this shite is wholly uninteresting, right?According to you. It's cool, which probably irks you. You guys like to make everything lame and boring.
>>220505728Compared to 11 he was. But my point is that the "dark" shift from 11 to 12 was nowhere near as jarring as 5 to 6, but the tumblr audience still pitched a fit, because they'd got used to the nuWho formula for so long that to see it change flipped their whole world upside down.
>>220505642as opposed to what?
>>220503853>well except for it being a permanent thing.It's permanent in that 8 would've eventually outlived her anyway.
>>220505718>Bernice Summerfieldblegh. The original River Song and just as annoying
>>220505777He *can* have sex with humans. It would just be inappropriate, because he's a grandfather.This is still 60's and 70's TV we're talking about. People were a bit weird about sex in general.If anything, I think it's a positive change of the modern DW that it's at least inferred that he has sex from time to time (with Marilyn Monroe and Queen Elizabeth). Why shouldn't he?
>>220505723>He was actually a bunch of little black girls before Hartnell and formed Time Lord society and was the source of regeneration before SHE got mind wiped.Yeahhh, I'll take this >>220499852 over that.>>220505771My guy, the Doctor was already that for most of the show. Him being just some dude was cope. All long running series eventually makes the protag more important than anyone else.
>>220505723still cracks me up that a fat black woman being some side-Doctor was briefly interesting for a split second. then it got dropped.these writers need to stop trying to be 'clever'. if they wrote the implied series they'd disguise as irony/subversion, it would actually be decent. just a show about adventures, imagine that.
>>220505728the David Tennant audience are too fragile to understand the "mean on the surface, good at heart" character type. They also just hated him because he was old.
>>220505900>briefly interestingare you deranged
>>220505884He was just some dude who *became* interesting and heroic through his adventures. That's better, because it's character growth.
>>220505718I love how that cover has the exact energy of the "perfume ponce" scene from Withnail & I.
>>220505919Not that anon but Jo Martin totally mogged Jodie Whittaker in their scenes together it wasn't even funny
>>220505921>He was just some dude who *became* interesting and heroic through his adventuresYeah. This pic implies the Other stuff would've tied into the Merlin stuff. Instead of the Doctor being this enigmatic figure in the past, he would've become the Other/Merlin in the future. It's more like 7 becoming aware of his future and steering things closer and closer to it.
>>220505556They're realistically partly on hold because Piper has a busy ass schedule (+ whoever else they might want in it), partly unsure of whatever they're even doing after.
>>220505984doesn't mean she was a good doctor or would ever be, especially when it was revealed she predated hartnell
4 and Romana were both Time Lords and they were totally fucking.
>>220505900>some side-DoctorShe was The Doctor from some time before Hartnell in the Doctor's timeline.
>>220506042can I squeeze into her busy ass schedule? if you catch my drift
>>220505884>the Doctor was already that for most of the show. Him being just some dude was cope. All long running series eventually makes the protag more important than anyone else.i could not give a fuck tbqh. he's inherently mysterious, they probably realised early on they couldn't do much about his origins without stepping on each other's toes. how many British series back then had multiple writers and WEREN'T an anthology series (like The Wednesday Play)? who ultimately got to decide all this stuff?a missed trick with the revival was not making (normal) Time Lords antagonistic again. they're downright nasty in The War Games, i think a lot of fans agree they became too goofy over time. now, The Master is evil because he had a bad acid trip. Rassilon is evil because he contracted time-madness. Omega is a skeleton-dog. why can they not just be absolute arseholes by default?
I'll have one Lungbarrow with cheese please
>>220499521Scott Adkins...IS...The Doctor

>>220505919>are you derangedyes. but basically, what >>220505984 said.>>220506052it's an absolutely terrible idea, sure, but the actress gave it some gravitas. >Let me take it from the top. Hello, I'm the Doctor. I'm a traveller in space and time, and that thing buried down there is called a TARDIS. Time And Relative Dimension In Space. You're going to love this.i'd like to see her adventures, please. just the normal ones she goes on. maybe she's a bit too pompous and grandstanding, but it actually reminds me of The Shalka Doctor in a good way.point is, they anticipated some controversy that didn't materialise, and then the most ironic thing in the world occurred pretty much by happenstance. i don't get the obsession with writing these dangling threads, rather than just spinning a good yarn.
>Starring Warwick Davis as The DoctorThey could do it like Capaldi where The Doctor turns into a previously met face.
>>220506315They're just pandering to the WE WUZ crowd. They need to retcon basically everything that's been added to the show's mythology since the end of 11's run at this point.
>since the end of 11's runshalom
>>220506106I like when the Time Lords are like Kryptonians, if you'd forgive the capeshit comparison. They're not necessarily assholes, they just think everyone else in the universe is beneath them and doesn't deserve to be treated decently. But their society breeds a lot of sadistic bastards.

>>220506926Whichever.

>>220506725BASED.i mean Queer as Folk is essentially a story about a 30-year-old gay nonce. we understand he's a bit of a cunt, i don't get the aversion to depicting flawed characters doing bad things.Dr Who tortures a Dalek in picrel, Eccleston said he liked it because it showed a nastier side of him. now, you can rule out anyone doing something evil based on what they look like: the Segway kid or she/her Rose were doomed to be 'nice' from the start.conversely, RTD has an absolute hate-boner for Americans, for some reason.

There was this audio in the Early Adventures range that threw out Season 6B in favor of setting it in the middle of Season 5 and wiping the Doc and Jamie's memories at the end.

>>220499521I say this with the greatest respect (sort of), but as someone who's been a Doctor Who fan since before 2005, when is this fucking show going to be cancelled already? It's just gone way way beyond any chance of recovery at this point. It needs a rest, at the very least. Are we going to get finally released from this hell or what?
>>220507256Doctor Who is shit and I say that as a fan!
>>220505319>why are robots always invading 20th-century England?Still not as bad as what came after with the specific alien hate boner for Cardiff.
>>220507256The BBC are weirdly insistent on continuing to make it, but they refuse to change it in any way that will actually bring back audiences. Should we call it spite at this point? Probably.
>>220507183A instance of the Doctor having an actual alien perspective, which I'd like to see more of.I also actually like that aspect of Kill the Moon. The Doctor was right. it wasn't his call. It was a moral question for the people of Earth to handle.
Shalka Doctor was a survivor of a Time War too.
