The Dr Who thread

[Istar]

"What took you so long, old man?"

She knows him, and knows he's old. Possibly the last time she saw him, he looked old, or perhaps 'old man' is a term of affection (as with Sisko/Dax). Assuming the former, this would be a Hartnell-era companion; like Mayhem, my first thought was Susan - but she'd call him "Grandfather", so it doesn't jibe and would therefore have to be someone else. If the latter, River Song is an obvious (if overworked) candidate - she might well call him 'old man'. Anyone watched "The Doctor's Daughter" recently?

The trailer looks nicely dark, and Capaldi a bit less frenzied. Even though most of S8 was not to my taste, I'm still looking forward to S9. It's DW, innit.

it would ruin the dynamics between the doctor and the assistant

You mean there wouldn't be all the sexual tension of some young girl following him (her) around? (Presumably his preferences regenerate too then?) The horror!

Sorry, I got distracted image searching for Tarzanettes.

DRASHIG CONFIRMED.

No idea what this is: teaser for one of the episodes from the next series perhaps?

edit: seems to be from here which has no more info but at least ties it into the official series (not a web game or worse):

OK, so it now revealed. “Mission Dalek” is a competition

Mission Dalek Competition (UK Residents Only)

One for the fans: you get to create your own story with Dr Who assets, and the prize is a set visit. Only a few weeks as it finishes before the series starts, and looks like it ties into it somehow.

Why did you sign off with "Best of luck!" on a buy it now listing?

[Zoot]

Because I am a nice guy, because I accept offers (I don't expect or want the full amount), and because someone gas to get there first!

PoV from a recent deserter...




I'll watch the first couple of new episodes with interest but, will be under no delusions that it will most probably be shit.

Space Mummy will haunt you on the Orient Express whilst thinking about hatching spiders from a Moon Egg.

HA!

[Cloudane]

I just watched the second episode of Game of Thrones, and they're already (Like in Final Fantasy XIV as well) talking about the moon being an egg. FFS! This trope!

Accepting the recent standard of Dr. Who stories is no different to accepting a cock up the arse...if you're a non cock up the arse accepting heterosexual that is, that accepts that some people enjoy a cock up the arse.
But! Having a cock forced up[ your arse is a different matter altogether!

[Cloudane]

It's a shame when you end up seeing a bit of light entertainment as akin to anal penetration, which one may or may not like depending on sexuality and top/bottom preferences. It does rather limit the appeal of the show.

Certainly, if one were to be forced to watch Doctor Who, it could eventually be construed as anal rape. Hopefully, no one is forced to watch it (and therefore everyone can carry on enjoying something they love without feelings of violation), those who don't like being shafted up the arse can find a more appropriate environment to hang out in, where they perhaps feel a little safer.

You lost me. I lost myself TBH but...c'mon man...a bit defensive or what?!
