Boctor Doooooo

[Pual]

I thought the last episode was quite good… compared to most other russel t Davis series finales.

The end bit was crap.

Can the Daleks go up stairs yet

[dng]

yes

[dng]

As a Philistine, an edited 90 minute version in slightly wonky colour, is very much my thing!

[dng]

The daleks one last year was complete shite, unfortunately

[dng]

This is on tonight i think

I rather enjoyed it!

But!

I'm an extremely casual Who fan.
It felt rather bitty in places (unsurprisingly).
The modern visuals stuck out horribly, which was lazy on the maker's part.

[dng]

Instead of watching it I went to bed

[blombluss]

Oh, and the music was too loud in places. Waaaaaaay too loud.

[Bruce Sato]

Hooray, Ryan from Consolevania (who has been put right off the new series) has been compelled to watch Caves of Androzani, and he enjoyed it. He also has what is the only logical explanation for why Peter Davison's Doctor has so many fillings.

[Bruce Sato]

HOORAY

That is all.

[endar]

Very much hooray yes

[blombluss]

Even I am pleased, and I don't even know what a Doctor Who is!!!

[Bruce Sato]

This is apparently not the only film collection known to include missing Dr Who episodes, either, although it sounds as though there won't be any more returned for a while. This guy actually had six episodes on film, but four were duplicates of ones already in the archive.

Doctor Who is DEAD

(again)

[Bruce Sato]

Hooray

[blombluss]

Only Colin Baker can save us now.

[CandyDarling]

Fucking hell, Tip Toe is bad. Patronising, out of touch, suffers from odd tonal shifts, and seems to think that transphobes are people who have mild disagreements with pronouns or something. Interestingly, RTD is friends with Helena Bonham Carter, who is a TERF. Colour me surprised...

Not to mention those astonishing comments from Davies, cheerfully reprinted by every single newspaper, that maybe he shouldn't have bothered campaigning for gay rights or some such baffling horseshit. Ian McKellen gets it, why can't RTD? Oh yes, I forgot; Davies is a fuckwit who is completely isolated from modern LGBTQ+ culture and can't write for toffee. I forgot about that detail

Frankly, the entire British TV industry needs to be destroyed from orbit using the massive laser satellite from Akira

[dng]

at least russell t davies has stopped employing every possible rapist he can these days

[Bruce Sato]

He is worse than Balor.

[CandyDarling]

I think Balor could have written a better TV show. It would just be him killing absolutely everybody, but it would be better by default

[Pual]

Rumour has it that the bbc were fed up with rtd and told him they were going to offer dr who up for tender in a couple of years time in the hope he would flounce off and they could do it now instead.

[Bruce Sato]

Hooray, here is a Youtube channel for a fellow who is recreating the excellent parping noises of Dudley Simpson's Dr Oho soundtracks. This (or super-weird electronic music) is what Dr Oho should sound like, not the bellowing of I'M MURRAY GOLD.

[dng]

hooray

[CandyDarling]

Yes!

Bruce's comment about Murray Gold touched on something that always bothered me about no-longer-New Who - the weird outbursts of grandiosity and pompousness you'd get in it that felt totally at odds with the original series. Not just the embarrassingly amped up nature of the replacement theme tune but also stuff like "Time Lord Victorious". Like, just the name felt shit

[dng]

Once you mythologise your main character it always goes to shit
