TCP Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 A good Buzzfeed quiz. I got 12/16, I would have gotten 13/16 but the circular window threw me off on #8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCP Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Doctor Who is coming back on August 23rd. Which is my wedding night. Guess we'll take a break from the marriage consummation to watch Who. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCP Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 The scripts for episodes 1 - 5 have apparently leaked. Be warned, there are spoilers abound!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 DEEP BREATH ACT 1: SCENE 1 A QUARRY IN WALES The Doctor runs around the TARDISTM waving his Sonic ScrewdriverTM "I HAVEN'T GOT ANY FUCKING KIDNEYS. WHO THE FUCK REGENERATES SOMEONE WITHOUT ANY TWATTING KIDNEYS" p.s sorry Hot Heart if you're reading this, I've not done any script writing for nearly a decade, apologies if it's all wrongly laid out.

Hot Heart Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 p.s sorry Hot Heart if you're reading this, I've not done any script writing for nearly a decade, apologies if it's all wrongly laid out. It's a fair effort! Scene heading should be EXT. QUARRY, WALES and you need to have dialogue marked as THE DOCTOR/DOCTOR WHO with everything in a slimmer centralised column, and no need for speech marks. I was actually going to make some joke versions of 'more leaked X-Men Apocalyspe script snippets' but I've been kinda busy with other things, plus they probably wouldn't be that funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted July 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Fuck, he's aged to 2000 now. I guess I hadn't really been keeping count too much with his time on Trenzalore. I think 11th Doctor spent around 1,100yrs in that form then, more than all others combined. I guess makes sense if he figured it was his last regeneration and he did have two prophecies about his imminent death so could hang around for a while to make sure he tied up the loose ends. Also something about that trailer makes me think there will be a Dalek companion (he did have Handles) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Wow, he's aged well though, doesn't look a day over 1,900! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) I hope the Dalek companion is named Wheels and sits on a skateboard. @0:27 - Mass Effect and Doctor Who crossover?!??! Edited July 13, 2014 by The Cowboy Poet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCP Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I don't know what's more surprising, the fact that the UK still has magazines or the fact that they have a magazine named SEX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted August 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Oh man it's been a month and I forgot to tell you that it's actually SFX magazine. Anywho minor thoughts on this episode: Capaldi was great, the episode itself however never heard of the word subtle. Nice to have the clockwork guys back, but really could have done with a hefty bit of polish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) Yeah, I enjoyed it but it wasn't anywhere near as memorable as Smith's first episode. Not quite sure how I feel about Capaldi yet either. He's good but so far I've felt like every new Doctor blew the previous one out of the water and there was just something about Smith's run that resonated with me a lot more. It went from being just a show I enjoyed to being one of my favorite things. I guess we'll see if it manages to stay on that level. One thing I was a bit worried about (and ended up being pleasantly surprised by) was that it would move away from the darker side of the character that was explored during Smith's run. But that bit near the end with "one of us is lying about his programming" seemed to suggest that won't be happening. It almost seemed to imply they're going to get even darker and I'm all for that.

deanb Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 edit: Or (though it's missing the latest) 50 years of TV technology and style. edit 2: O h yeah, finally got around to watching the McGann Who. It was actually not half bad at all, obviously some oddity in being a quite US set thing, and there was a moment I momentarily fell a sleep as the Master was going on about the Doctor being half-something. I assume he said half-jelly baby, making a joke and all, and not something like "human". That'd be as stupid as implying timelords are woven on a loom. Also Eric Roberts is in a lot.

deanb Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Last nights was miles better, rather liking this new darker doctor. "He's the top layer if you wish to say a few words". Interested to see where this all goes, especially Missy. Lots of theories on who she is. Main ones seem to be Rani or older/other Clara. I've heard Mr Pink is meant to be a future companion, could be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMW Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Yeah, episode 2 was great. Digging the current doctor and the current doctor/companion relationship a lot. And despite the Daleks getting woefully overused, it was a pretty good Dalek episode too. Hopefully that's it for them this season. NOT excited about the Missy thing though. Both episodes so far have been pretty good and then they'll do this cutaway to "Heaven" which is all the things I didn't like about Matt Smith Doctor who combined. Weird wife/girlfriend relationship with the Doctor? Check. Season long mystery that gets in the way of my adventure romping fun? Looks like it. Stephen Moffat loving his monsters and never ever actually being able to kill one of them? Yep, looks like they'll all just hang out in heaven to come back for the finale. But the actual episodes are super good, and so far they seem to have pretty much nothing to do with this Missy/Heaven nonsense. The longer that continues to be the case, the better.

TCP Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I liked Danny Pink but the closeup of the single tear going down his face was a little much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 There is not much subtlety in Doctor Who. Him literally asking every man and his dog "am I a good person?" is not exactly the nuanced exploration of his inner turmoil we were promised.

TCP Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Yeah, same issue with his hatred of the daleks. They talk about how much he hates daleks, but they don't exactly show it. It's lazy writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I will say I'm somewhat put off by the next episode being "Robot of Sherwood", cos that would make this the third cyborg/robot storyline in a row, and I'm pretty sure there's all of time and space full of aliens to go check out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) At least it's not in Victorian London. I like the Paternoster gang (damn did Jenny look good in Deep Breath), but holy shit, give us a new era and location. EDIT: Also do we know why they're called the Paternoster gang? I'm assuming this is some sort of reference to London or the era that I'm not aware of? Edited September 2, 2014 by The Cowboy Poet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted December 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I'll be at my Dads this xmas so I'll actually get to watch this live on an alright TV instead of being lumped in the kitchen with a small CRT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
