I hate shorts, they look immensely silly, and if the argument for a female Doctor is his character was never overtly masculine, it seems weird to suddenly be overtly feminine as these pants seem to be.
What.
This is why I don’t speak up often…

It’s a valid question, even if not intended as such.
Not sure what you mean by not intending it as a valid question…that whole statement made no sense to me.
I don’t know what to explain. You don’t even watch Doctor Who, so I’m surprised anything in this thread makes sense.

I thought it was more sarcasm than question.
someone’s shin being seen is somehow un-TimeLordish
Coming from someone who has never seen or knows anything about doctor who, taken out of context this comment was hilarious and I don’t mean that in a malicious way.
No worries mate - I’m struggling to believe that someone’s shin being on show in a promo pic is being considered un-TimeLordish at all - or for that matter being talked about at all 😃
Did the Doctor ever show shin in any of his clothes in any of his incarnations?
I think I’ll give a whole episode a watch, maybe even a few additional episodes, before commenting that someone’s shin being seen is somehow un-TimeLordish - taken from a promo picture 😃
Why do I have to wait? I know what the costume looks like from the promo pic. I’ve been watching Doctor Who since the early 80s. I think know what is and is not TimeLordish.
Did I say you have to wait? No.
not exactly, but it seemed like to me that you sort of implied that it would a be a good idea to wait.
No. I simply said that ‘I think I’ll give a whole episode a watch, maybe even a few additional episodes, before commenting that someone’s shin being seen is somehow un-TimeLordish - taken from a promo picture 😃’
How you got ‘Why do I have to wait?’ and your follow-up statements from that is beyond me. Nothing implied at all.
Seems you are searching for something that just isn’t there. I’ll leave it there, for this reason.

The first part of your statement didn’t even have anything to do with Doctor Who.
Not that the rest wasn’t confusing as well.
and if the argument for a female Doctor is his character was never overtly masculine, it seems weird to suddenly be overtly feminine as these pants seem to be.
Was that ever really the argument, though?
It was. When people would voice the opinion that they can’t ever see the Doctor as female. The standard retort was that he was never masculine to begin with.
Personally I don’t see the new costume as very feminine. I just get a very silly Mork from Ork vibe off of it. It at least has me interested in how they’re going to depict this Doctor. Though it still seems like I’ll just be sticking with Big Finish for my Doctor Who fix at this point.

What’s weird about personally thinking shorts look silly?
I don’t have any idea how to answer that question. It’s like if you thought short-sleeved shirts were silly.

As a Doctor Who Ignorant I never made that argument, mine was the more general “why not?” argument.

SEE I TOLD YOU GUYS

Speaking for myself here, it’s not necessarily the message, it’s the way it was communicated. You not liking shorts has nothing to do with the rest of the sentence—you might as well have said “I don’t like sand” in your opening clause.

I don’t usually wear shorts. Would I call them silly? Eh.

New Shada trailer is out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBpmCZV6GAc
I know this will probably be met with another round of “Shada… AGAIN???”, but I think it looks great. Will be nice to have the film (outdoor) sequences in HD, new model work by the prop group, Tom recording his lines, etc. The guy who animated the Daleks in the “Power” animation is doing some 3D work for this one, and Mark Ayres has made a soundtrack that should sound like Dudley Simpson’s 70s Who, unlike the 80s synth music we had in the previous version of Shada.
I couldn’t care less about the outfit. It’s all about the acting, and the stories that the writers come up with. I’m waiting patiently, and remaining optimistic.

New Shada trailer is out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBpmCZV6GAc
So, I’ve just watched the new Shada. Really wonderful stuff, and I’ll try not to spoil any of the details that shouldn’t be spoiled, in case anyone that will watch it hasn’t been reading about it.
The animation itself is a huge improvement over Power of the Daleks. The stills and half second clips in the trailer don’t do it justice. It’s much more fluid and human. The walking doesn’t look funky. Facial expressions are good, and arms/mannerisms are natural instead of just looking like a bunch of cutouts. Clever camera angles and good direction. Some people might not like the cartoonish likeness of some of the characters. But the animation itself is miles ahead of something like the Levine animation.
Really nice CG elements, especially in terms of K9 and the enemies.
The new model work that’s done for the ships and space station look really lovely, and like authentic 35mm models would have in 1979 (when done right). Seems the money or time might have run out, as the last 1/4 of it, including Shada itself, has artwork instead of models for these kinds of things.
There are newly filmed shots that I won’t go into detail about much of. But some things, like K9 only partially work. Still, it adds to the production.
HD location filming looks nice for what it is. Studio tape is upscaled and cleaned up well.
Voice work is excellent. Tom sounds nearly exactly like he did in 1979.
Not every scene and line from the script is in it. Noticeably, a scene with K9 in the TARDIS is absent (the actor that plays him in Shada passed away. Instead of recasting, they re-used his lines which was possible in other scenes, but not this one). It’s worth noting that editing and cuts would have happened anyway, so it makes sense that the producer of the animation had final cut here. Ian Levine’s animation (no, not the edited version on the torrents and youtube) ran 25 minutes over because he insisted on putting every line from the script in. So, this is fine. There’s about 22 minutes per episode here, without intro/credits or repeated cliffhangers. So, not really a “cut down”, but this brings me to the final point…
Very controversially, this is presented in omnibus format. Instead of six episodes, it’s one long one. It’s not like the 1980s presentations where they cut down the run time dramatically, but it does obviously change the feel of it. I suspect it might have been done because the run times of the episodes could be quite variable, and it masks that? Not sure. Would have been better episodically, but my only complaint for a fantastic production.
Hopefully it won’t take too long for this to come out in the U.S., and not screwed up in the video dept. like Power Of The Daleks was.
Where were you in '77?

Eh, they’ll probably not do a good job with the timing. US DVD is out in January. It’s two discs with just the feature and bonus content, so it shouldn’t be crammed onto too small a disc like Power was. No blu-ray in the US again.
But The UK blu-ray is region free and compatible with US players. Comes out in about a week.
It wasn’t the compression, it was those annoying jagged lines plaguing the video that makes me think somebody was asleep at the wheel when this was mastered for Region 1.

BBCWW North America just doesn’t care, unfortunately. They forgot to vidfire Moonbase (converted to progressive I think). They’ve put a good half of the range out of print while they’re still being made elsewhere in the world.
I would just import the blu-ray. The animation will look better, and the outdoor existing footage will be in HD.
Yeah, I finally caved in a while back and got nearly all the Hartnell and Troughton years I didn’t have already pretty cheap. There are some Ebay sellers who sell nothing but the UK DVD’s. I keep forgetting my LG BD/HD-DVD player has a region hack installed. 😉
