Doctor Who — Page 94

Thought I’d drop by with a few thoughts

I don’t mind the Morbius Doctors inclusion or the lore alterations, but I also understand how deeply upsetting it is for many fans who have grown up with the show facing a change on this scale. It’s the most sizemic we’ve had since the publication of Lungbarrow. Some believe this will go away like the half-human thing did, but I don’t personally feel like there’s a point to decanonising something of this size. Better to embrace a new idea than hold on so tightly to lore that at one point, was also pulled out of nowhere to keep the show interesting.

Jodie unfortunately hasn’t been ‘owning it’ as The Doctor all season and I fail to see how anyone is getting the impression she is putting in an effort. She is a woefully unprepared actress and Jo Martin’s Ruth Doctor acted the socks off of her in comparison. The Doctor had very little authority in this series and felt too much like a victim of circumstances. Ruth’s Doctor was in far more control of a room and a situation that she was.

It’s one thing to say the individual who would one day become the Doctor had previous lives. It’s a whole other to say they were going around already fully formed as the Doctor with the police box and everything long before Hartnell.

But isn’t that the point. 13 has lost Gallifrey again. Had the corpses of its dead turned into Cybermen by the ‘friend’ she spent her previous life trying to redeem. Yes she has had the wind knocked out of her sails. Ruth Doc hasn’t had that yet. I still think she is the true third Doctor.

But Three was wearing Two’s tux when he fell out. Also, she didn’t show up in Brain of Morbius.

But the wrong shoes and trousers. So presumably whatever incarnation preceded Pertwee went back to wearing a tux.

I heard! It’s a miracle!

Hey guys, Ryan was in TFA!

Nah, but I hear about it all the time on r/gallifrey. I haven’t been hanging out there much as of late though. Kind of offDoctor Who at the moment. The New Years’ special is coming, though, so there’s that.

A little late to be posting this. The trailer’s been out for several weeks now. But I guess you were away.

not really a fan of fan made “music videos” but this one hurts =(

So what did you guys think of Revolution of the Daleks? I thought it was pretty good.

I liked it as well. But then again i’m a Torchwood fan.

It had a nod to Torchwood, but it was hardly anything like a Torchwood episode.

i thought it was one of the better ones

It’s been announced Chris Chibnall and Jodie Whittaker will be stepping down from the show in 2022. There will a single be a six part story for S13 and three specials at some point between then and the end of 2022. The 60th is royally screwed.

Oh so no showrunner or Doctor is conducive to a good 60th? My point wasn’t that Chibnall and Whittaker would give us a good 60th, just that they’d give us any 60th at all. I hope they have showrunner and Doctor lined up for 2033, but even then it’ll be super weird having an anniversary special in their first year.
