Doctor Who

[Lint]

 

Capaldis version for comparison

 

[Benji]

Someone meshed together all the Doctors faces to create a single Doctor and...

He looks like he belongs alongside Gary Glitter, Rolf Harris and Jimmy Saville >_>

I think he actually most resembles McGann there.

[Benji]

Someone elsewhere pointed out that he actually looks like Moffat and now I can't unsee it.

I feel like Midnight goes under appreciated as an episode. The ending bit where Donna repeats what The Doctor says and he can only respond "no, don't do that... don't" just hammers home how much his failures really tear him apart  

[Lint]

That is one of my favorite Ten episodes

 

Capaldi says 10th season could be his last

[Ruki]

Only 3 seasons? Why?

[Lineker]

Maybe he doesn't want to be typecast.

That's ok Peter, I'll always remember you for my first Capaldi love.

You know what? Forget the Big Finish audios. The more I see (and hear) Paul McGann, the more I wish they'd do an Eighth Doctor tv spin-off. I'm just glad that they more or less made his audios canon in Night Of The Doctor....

I was tired of River, but this is a fantastic episode. Great fun.

Just finished...

... not going to lie, I cried

I fell into the traditional post-Christmas dinner food coma half way through the episode, so missed all of the middle bit  will have to rewatch it tomorrow. I enjoyed what I saw though, I just have no idea what happened for most of it

Lately there seems to have been a Dr Who fan club pop up in our local area, strongly backed by a local club probably hoping for a few dozen drunk whovians. They had the most recent season premiere on a big screen, with a couple of classic Who episodes beforehand. I regretted not being able to make that.

I found out, almost too late, that they were showing this special as well. I kind of wanted to see it, because I so regretted not going to the previous event but I'm a big time classic Who fan who kind of fell out of the revived series after a few seasons due to various things that I wasn't a fan of. River wasn't a reason I stopped watching but as someone from the outside who was looking in and kind of looking for a hook to reinvigorate my interest, the whole thing seemed too complicated for this old guy. I dunno, maybe if I'd kept up with the show and seen it as it had unfolded, I may have loved it but it is what it is

Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat quits to be replaced by Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall

Oh and no new Doctor Who till Christmas 2016 and the next full series will be in 2017.

[Ruki]

No new Who until 2017 sucks...but I am excited about a new show runner.

[Benji]

Tremendous single episode writer, but the season arcs were a mess under him for the most part. Looking forward to where we go from here with a new writer and new companion.

[theshadow]

It's time for a new show runner for sure, but i'm not too eager on it being Chris Chibnail while i liked series 1 of Broadchurch I've never been overly fond of his Doctor Who episodes.  

42 comes across best of his for me and that was his first episode. I think part of that was due to following the dreadful Lazarus Experiment episode nearly anything could seem better compared to that. Hungry Earth/Cold Blood was a decent two part story but his later two episodes are two of my least favourite of Matt Smith era Dr Who in Dinosaurs on a Spaceship and The Power of Three.

[Benji]

Moffat was arguably one of the best episode writers and made a pretty bad show runner as far as what made it to screen. I'm willing to give him a shot, it can't be much worse than the season before last.

Didn't Chibnall also basically run Torchwood after Moffat laid the ground?
