The Dr Who thread

Soz, the moment it flashed as Radio 1, I quit watching.

Is this a one off opinion?

Radio Times has posted 10 deleted scenes (and other unused material) you might not have seen...

Seems the inspirations behind Slott's Silver Surfer comic are drawing attention;

September 19th !

Typical teaser montage of whatever. Bored until Maisie Williams. Why is she so awesome?

Series finishes in December, about a fortnight before the Xmas episode. I think I prefer that. Things I'm not excited about:

Finale Director Rachel Talalay: "Episode 11 is one of the most complicated and different that I've ever done. It just has my head in spaghetti" Oh great. Moffatt only does complicated one way.

Capaldi on the Doctor "“Soaring through all of time and space, series nine sees the Doctor throw himself into life with a new hunger for adventure. The Cosmos is there for the taking, thrilling, epic and enticing, and his to play in. But he’s almost reckless in his abandon"

So Tenant in his last series, then? How are the ratings these days?

"It’s almost like he’s running from something, something that if it ever catches him will turn his life upside down."

Again????? Can he not just, you know... be? If there's one character in all of television that really doesn't need any more development, it's him. Particularly when his companions get criticised for not being fleshed out enough.

You can make your own Jenna Coleman "flesh out" jokes, I'm off to bed.

Sounds to me like you want to be watching Continuum instead. Grown up time travel with lots of very well motivated characters and complexity merging from no one being on the "right" side. Its a good show.

Thats almost every Doctor.

As for who Maisie Williams is playing... it would be funny but highly unlikely if it was a regen River Song. My thought is possibly Susan...

Thank goodness. I thought I was supposed to know who it was. I'm going for the clone daughter.

Romana?

Tegan?

I'd like to watch as little time travel stuff as possible really, although I did for the most part enjoy Project Almanac recently the entire concept has become a bit of a bore. Dr Who can and should be about anything, with the odd bit of time travel in there when the ends warrant the means. I agree that the modern era should make more of it given the technological advances, and batshit crazy episodes have been written with aplomb by Moffatt, but it's like a small child who does something impressive. the fiftieth time it's not as impressive. The hundredth time he does it you just want him to fuck off for a bit.

She removes a 'highwayman' disguise, at which point the Doctor recognises her. Which suggests that he's seen that face before. Not a regenerated character, just another big tease.
