I still feel like we haven't heard the true story of what really went on behind the scenes in S1. Must have been really bad though (not just some professional disagreement about treatment of extras/a burning sofa stunt)
from all the accusations of sexual misconduct on set that have come out since, I get the feeling RTD ran the production like a party, very loose about sex etc. just typical showbiz degeneracy yknow.
Pretty much this. I doubt anything actually illegal happened, I just bet it was very casual and "unprofessional" like a uni flat kind of vibe. Eccles is quite a principled and serious kind of person so it probably didn't gel with him
As much as I loved Eccleston as the Doctor, him leaving after 1 season made that season a pure kino way to introduce someone to Doctor Who. You get a new Doctor, new companion, a self-contained story arc, and introduced to regeneration all in one season.
I also don't quite mind Eccleston not being in that special because it allows the whole idea of Nine having just freshly regenerated at the start of his season. What actually sucked about the War Doctor was not allowing McGann to be in the special. Eight should have been the Doctor who went to war and then he should have regenerated into Nine after it was all done.
Doctor Who remains under BBC ownership. They just negotiated a deal to co-produce, they don't have ownership rights. Not that BBC is much better anyway.
Kinda yeah. Karen clearly knows body language techniques, there is something on the way she balances her body. It´s a model thing that fully takes advantage of her long legs and wide hips.
Jenna is more naturally charming and cute. More charismatic.
She's hot but it makes me feel uncomfortable every time she says she was born in 2004. I don't know why, there's only 5 years between us, I can't even remember 2004.
It's also on Disney+ if you've already got that. Pretty low price.

I just got burnt out on streaming services. I was all for it back when there was only Netflix and Prime Video, and I even stopped pirating because streaming was so convenient and cost-effective. Then there was suddenly a dozen different streaming services that all had different stuff and licenses expired and moved shows and movies from one service to another. At that point I decided to not sign up for any new ones. Then Netflix betrayed me by canceling Dark Crystal so I dropped them, then more recently Amazon put ads on Prime so I dropped my Prime sub, too. Now I'm back to full piracy because FRICK the streaming bullshit.
>But you can just sign up free trials or for one month and cancel.
Yeah, not worth the hassle. The promise of streaming was efficiency and convenience, and those promises are beyond broken at this point.

>two reasons why the current poof showrunner is no fun
RTD isn't bad for a poofter. He puts in plenty of "Something for the Dads" fansevice every episode, like Ruby getting butakked by "snot" tentacle porn music staves and her grabbing a solid sized and shaped item made of flesh for a large part of this episode (was it's size and shape written in Moffat's script? Don't think so).
He knows that if he wants to get away with his gay stuff he needs to put in plenty for straight men to fap over.
It's literally just this one homosexual trying to force a meme. He's the same sad c**t who's spams fake news trying to make people think Simm was "spotted on set" last week too. Ignore him.
Its zero coincidence at all that the minute the Doctor becomes his self-insert (a grumpy clever scotsman) he suddenly starts having the Doctor go ga-ga for her and dropping in hints they're in love.
Just go to sleep and watch in the morning. You have to wait no matter what time it releases, at least with a midnight release you can fast forward to it with sleep.
Pmsl watching Unleashed. Moffat making RTD sound like a fanboy.
>I was out getting pissed with the wife and got a notification on my phone. It was an email from Russel. I didn't answer because I was drunk and thought it was real. I checked again in the morning and the email was still there. We talked and I gave him my idea. He replied within 30 seconds, before I even pressed send.
They're such different people but seem to actually be friends. You love to see it.
they do seem to really get along well. I think even though they have different artistic visions, their shared bond as showrunner and tv exec trumps that. like, to them it doesn't really matter *what* is being put on tv, it just matters that there is something being put on tv. I think moffat has the same attitude towards chibnall, when he's asked about chibnall he doesn't really talk about the contents of his show, but says stuff like "he's retooled it as a sunday night family show with a bigger cast and different tone instead of a saturday night blockbuster". you have to remember these guys are tv execs as much if not more as they are creatives, and despite their conflicting artistic visions, they all have to think about things like the time slot, audience, ratings etc
he didn't "openly trash it" he politely implied on some talk show about how the idea of the dalek crossfire replacing the blast was lame, and i'm pretty sure moffat agreed eventually
That's a point actually - The Doctor says to Ruby "This is your first time on a different planet" - but she's already been in space and saw outside the station. It's not concrete, but I think it gives further credit to the episodes having been shifted around theory.
I imagine we'll hear some behind the scenes details when the season's over. Devil's Chord generally feels like something that'd used to be either a mid-season episode, or an episode right before the two-parter finale in previous seasons.
Between all the hammering home the big bad, the Doctor's fear of the Pantheon, etc etc. Feels far too early to pop that kinda script traditionally compared to older seasons.
>Implying that's a bad thing
What are you, a homosexual? There's no way they'll go back to a Tennant clone right after Jodie and Ncuti. And they're definitely not giving a shot to another Capaldi. Which is a bad thing because I wanted Paterson Joseph
>Moffat revealed as the British Harvey Weinstein when?
I think that's more likely of RTD. Moffat is just a perv who writes with his hand in his pants, RTD has a history of casting actual sex pests and probably buggered Ncuti
He has had animal companions. Technically Frobisher, being a shapeshifter, he could be anything he wanted (famously he was a supermarket check out for some years) but spent most of his time with the Doctor as a peguin.
K9 was a robot dog, which sort of counts, but Karvanista is more like an actual dog, even though a Lupari and was the Fugative Doctor's companion.
I met his voice actor at a comic convention and we chatted for ages, such a nice person. He even did the voice a few times unlimited at moments when it would be funny. I expect he is like that with most fans and knows his audience, but still it felt special (and I think it made my wife a little wet).
k-9 massacred an entire tower full of guards whose only sin was being enthralled by space vampires
4 was unhinged and k-9 was an instrument of destruction
I'm almost certain Ruby is the Doctor's daughter and Susan's mother. The "NEXT OF KIN... NEXT OF KIN..." moment almost feels designed to give goosebumps when its eventually revealed Ruby's next of kin is standing right there on the landmine and has been travelling in the TARDIS with her the whole time. Plus the dad sub-theme of the episode. The woman at the church will turn out to be Thirteen (played by a body double since Jodie was pregnant / had just given birth when they filmed all this). Another prediction, either Susan Twist or Anita Dobson will be revealed to be the Doctor's mother. The current theme of the show is orphan's we know that Ruby's parentage is going to be resolved, probably in the finale, would make thematic sense to resolve the Doctor's too.
Oh I almost forgot. The funniest thing in the video commentary. Whenever Moffat references Smith or Capaldi, RTD almost always instantly flips it straight back to Ncuti. He looks visibly uncomfortable with other doctors being mentioned.
Probably just him trying to keep it accessible for the Disney+ audience. That and he doesn't want Moffat reminding people that this show used to be straight and good once.
How much were Russell's eyes twitching when Moffat revealed he was centering a whole episode of his new, gay Doctor Who around a straight couple and the power of fatherhood?
There is a "honey" and a "gyal" in there so unless Russell told Ncuti to ad-lib and zest it all up Moffat definitely made some effort to fit it to Ncuti but there are moments and dialogue that are very Matt Smith.
to be fair Moffat has always stated that's his approach. even back with Matt, he was saying he doesn't write scenes any differently for him, he just writes for "The Doctor"
Moffat was the best guy to write the 50th anniversary, because you could tell that each version of The Doctor was the same character, plus time. The "same hardware, different face" scene was great
I genuinely believe he's rage baiting or being directed to act like that.
I've got a friend who has worked on a show that Ncuti was in and apparently he's nothing like that irl. Friend said he doesn't even sound as fruity BTS.
Given that Moffat uses "we" in his interview with Hollywood Reporter to refer to the show's future, is it fair to say that he's basically unofficial 4th showrunner, like Gatiss was during his era when the BBC lumbered him with Wenger.
I think it's basically confirmed that RTD and Moffat are in it together for this current run of series. Apparently RTD "begged" Moffat to write for WHO again when he got the greenlight.
Makes sense when you look at the best solo episodes of RTDs first run.
I want to get drunk with karen gillen and have her mog me with her height and insult me in her Scottish brogue and then end up eating a takeout munchie box with ironbru and vodka and lick the fried grease off her body.
So Nctuni got a full look at Susan Twist’s face via the Ambulance in this episode. Despite in the previous ones the show purposely always had him too busy to look at her other cameos.
Wonder if that means they’re finally willing to cut to the twist next episode, or it’s more proof of episode schedule being restructured, with Nctuni supposed to see it this episode. But then doesn’t realise he did until he finally sees her again a few episodes later
>Jinx Monsoon mentions their star sign on Unleashed >new Unleashed, Ncuti Gatwa describes Steven Moffat as 'a scorpio'

>Do younger people take horoscopes as some kind of real/ironic indicator of personality type now? Is it like describing yourself as a Friends character or Myers-Briggs type?
yes. mostly women and gays.
I still cannot believe the chain of events that ends up with one young Doctor Who fan being so atracted to an actress that he troons out trying to look like her so he can jerk off to himself.
What a world.
This is the power of nu-who audiences, huh? Appropriately disturbing. Writers sit around jacking off to themselves, people watch, people sit around jacking off to themselves. Amazing.
Doctor Who ruined this man's life. Theres footage of him about 6 years old in a classic dalek prop with the voice modulator, wearing the scarf.
I'm sure if it had not been Moffat and Gillan he still would have parasitically latched onto some other poor actress and made his entire identity about inhabiting her. But it is funnier to blame Moffat, so actually lets go with that.
He went full troon literally years ago.
I was about to ask "have you not been paying attention?" but frick, I wish I hadn't. I was never much of a fan of his, I liked his review of that terrible Netflix sci-fi, but yeah watching him troon out just to try (emphasis on try) to look like a woman he has said he finds attractive... it's just sad.
There ought to be more barriers on this shit. I actually do believe a small number of people can develop brain structures similar to the opposite sex. There's no reason it couldn't be possible since all fetuses start off as neither male nor female and the body develops in stages. Any chemical imbalance there could clearly make things go wrong without their genetics being affected.
But its also obvious that outcasts, autists, people with depression see hopping to another identity as an experiment to improve their lives. And in a culture that calls you brave and gives you protected status for trooning out, it's leading a lot of people to have gender identity issues when there is nothing wrong with them
>I was about to ask "have you not been paying attention?"
I don't go on twitter, so I only saw him on youtube. From what I could tell, he went by nonbinary pronouns and started looking a lot more androgynous over time but from how he presents himself in his youtube videos he never seemed like an actual full-on troony.
>from how he presents himself in his youtube videos he never seemed like an actual full-on troony.
Just another low-effort troon. Many such cases!
I'm pretty sure he's put female pronouns either in the description of his videos or his bio on youtube. Don't make me check.

What do you think about
The landmine having muh sensors and shit was such a badly contrived plot device, especially with how inconsistently it all worked. Why not just make it a typical, "If I shift my weight too much it goes off," situation? Nothing would have changed except making the stakes more believable, you could even still have the adrenaline/heartrate stuff just with the explanation that too much excitement will make him shaky and more likely to move too much. What's the point of adding layers of complexity beyond that which just end up making the whole thing feel inconsistent and arbitrary throughout? Does Moffat just think you HAVE to have technobabble nonsense for every little thing just because it's a sci-fi show?
?
I liked the episode overall and appreciated the change of pace with a more serious tone, but Moffat always seems to go a step too far in places and makes things come off as unnecessarily tryhard. It rubs me the wrong way and brings down what could have been an excellent episode to something less than it should be.

Moffat is a hack writer and always has been. Its not exactly a hot take to say that he was best at one-off episodes. Every concept he revisited like weeping angels or clockwork droids needlessly expanded on the lore and made completely unnecessary changes to the established concept because he felt like he needed something fresh.
Case in point, the Smith era episode where the weeping angel concept was inverted. Where all the angels were "instinctively" compelled to remain still so long as they thought you could see them, and Amy couldn't open her eyes.
In the original episode it was heavily implied it was a quantum effect. That observing them had a physical impact on them. If they could fricking move when they wanted to and only "instinctively" freeze what's to stop them from overcoming the instinct and moving when you're looking at them? Nothing. Not only does it fly in the face of what we already, it also made the angels less cool because it makes them stupider. They don't freeze as an evolutionary adaptation, they freeze because they're fricking stupid. Like those goats that tense up and fall over if you surprise them

Yeah, true, but he used to have some measure of restraint. I feel like there was a Moffat in the past who would have just written that if the Doctor shifts his weight too much on the landmine it blows him up, but current Moffat is so far up his own ass he just has to over-complicate everything for no reason to the point that it sucks the tension out of the episode.

It was all down hill after he was given free reign as show runner. No one could stop him from doing all the stupid shit he could think of. I think on some level as well he thinks he's far more intelligent than he is.
If a main presenter of character is wearing a branded jacket then technically it can be seen as advertising or endorsing a product. The rules for broadcast in the US are strict on this so what might not be seen as after in the UK would be seen as that in the USA and typically for that sort of exposure or product placement some financial agreement would have been negotiated. So it's blurred not so much because it's looks bad to have product placement (which would be a British approach) but because some American executive would kick off at Disney that North Face got free product placement and Nike or whoever has to pay for their in She Hulk. It's cheaper and less bother to just make one version of a show, especially a fairly low budget extra like Unleashed, that should be fine for all broadcasters than to faff about wasting money on blurring logos in one version and not another.
"Love conquers all" is one of the cringiest, most meaningless, trite bullshit the human species ever came up with.
No one ever built an empire on love. In fact we have dozens of stories of love being the ruin of kingdoms and empires and everyone involved dying fricking pointlessly.
first time watching Ncuti. the episode was decent but I'm not sold on him as a actor. the whole time I was just thinking how much better the lines would be read by Smith or Capaldi. idk if it's Ncuti's fault or that Moffat's style of writing just doesn't suit him. I actually didn't mind Ruby. probably wont watch anymore, I was just curious to see the Moff's return.
More like deconfirms. He basically says this is another Freema/Karen situation then realises he might have given away too much so adds a "But what if everything I just said was a lie to hide it's more like Jenna?" as damage control.
Companion actress appears in a previous episode as a character totally unrelated to their companion role (well, I say totally unrelated, they added that "Martha had an identical cousin that will be mentioned once then forgotten line).

In two pisses tonight i’ve filled a litre bottle of vodka and put it under my bed. On the last one I sprayed a bit on my pillow but i’m still going to sleep on it. Is that disgusting or are most people like that secretly?
What a horrible goofus you are. I'd certainly never piss in huge bottles until there was quite a pileup and then hide them under my bed while I was at college and then return two years later and suddenly remember that there's no way I can let anyone look under the bed so I spend one night cramming them in a garbage bag and it's so heavy with brown rancid piss that I have to drag it out of the house in the dead of night and it breaks the bag so I have to go back to the house and get another bag and there's no way I can attempt throwing this away because I'll be caught for sure so I haul it into the forest and leave a big pile of piss in the woods somewhere behind my house.
Just came back in from a late night run. A fair amount has evaporated over the hot summers and cold winters, and I threw a few away now and then to keep the pile from being noticed. Doctor Who for scale. Also to keep it relevant to Doctor Who.
It was a lot of piss. Still is. But not as much. One day it'll all be gone.

I live in a semi rural area and the woods near my house are managed. I once tripped on dph as a teen and had a horrible fricking experience where I saw stick figure men chasing me like african endurance hunters and I ended up near a massive abandoned dye factory, went inside to hide and there were junkies in it who looked to me like they were covered in insects and had no eyes. I freaked the frick out and they just sat around laughing at me. I ran away and hid in some old office room for hours panicking and kept reading and re reading some poster on the floor for what in retrospect was likely 3 hours. I’d come down enough to realise how tired and miserable I was and stepped out, and realised they were just people doing heroin. I apologised for freaking out but they were still sort of leaping out at me visually, i’m not sure how to describe it, like their outline was shimmering and would occasionally fly into my face and loom at me, all their faces were broken up and sad but they were friendly so I left. That was like 4:30 am and it was summer so getting bright, walked home and curled into bed then freaked out again later because I saw a massive centipede on the floor. No idea how my parents didn’t notice what I did because I was out all night and must have been loud. Anyway, there were constantly people in the woods all around it. I kept hearing guitar concert noises in my fan and people muttering and whispering in the next room

You Black person homosexual troony morons aren't actually watching this are you? Even pirated it's pathetic. Let it die. You're not going to get doctor who out of Black person trannies
I didn't care for any of the side characters. The only part that worked was Ruby trying to help the Doctor with the mine. It didn't help she got unconcious 1/3 of the episode.
She has a nipple ring in her left tit by the looks of it. This disappoints me.
Imagine the mess if she ever breastfeeds. There would be milk spraying everywhere in the room like when you shake up a bottle of pop and open it. She would be crying and trying to cover her embarrassment as her baby goes hungry and her breast milk shoots out of the multiple holes when she squeezes her breasts to feed it. The
"Noooo, my little babbi." She would cry out as her milk painted the walls and she realised the horrors she had wrought by mutilating her nipples in an act of childish rebellion.
The overnight TV figures are around 2.6 million yeah, they're less relevant than ever now though since the episodes come out 18 hours early on iPlayer and D+
Maybe I'm just reading into it but anyone else found it creepy how the "dad AI" was treated as if it were actually the guy? Like, the girl doesn't really mourn her dad for long.. she just acts like the AI is the same as her dad. Even if that's just because she's used to that tech or whatever.. the Doctor himself also kind of did this, acting like the AI was some remnant of him and the "our father who art in heaven part".. it just gave me the ick.
>Like, the girl doesn't really mourn her dad for long
I would assume that she's using it as a coping mechanism and denying the fact that her father died, but I doubt the writers thought that far.
For some reason RTD can't decide between hating AI or loving AI
Years and Years literally had an ending where one of the main characters died and was replaced by an AI interface and the rest of the family were acting like she was still alive and immortal now >it was a Moffat episode
Yeah but this is definitely an Daviesism seeping through
God, this episode was so shitty. The idea of having the Doctor spend all of it on a landmine was good, but the execution was a travesty. >dumb girl who talks like an adult and gets over her father's death in a couple of minutes >AI module that somehow goes against its programming through the "power of love" and hacks the whole system (somehow none of the previous force ghosts managed to do this) >random jabs at religion >forced romance subplot that only exists to make the viewer feel as good as possible for one moment, then as shitty as possible for the next after the pajeet's love interest is killed >characters are written to be mongoloid morons who won't sit down and ask for a second why they're shooting at dirt, just to force a mystery/scenario >everybody is hectic and shouting against each other constantly
Right, but we're talking about the messaging here. Moff wrote the characters with faith in a cause to be moronicly blind in faith to the point of never questioning.. anything whatsoever and made them religious to reinforce this idea that having faith in something is a bad thing. It's.. extremely nihilistic and cynical.
I think his intent was as more of a criticism of how modern social media algorithms can manipulate people into basically anything and actively promote bullshit for the sake of higher profits.
yeah I thought that messaging was muddled too. I feel like it would've worked better as a question of belief vs faith, and asking them to let go of their ingrained beliefs and to trust faith instead. but idk if Moffat has the nuance for that. I like him better writing character drama than social critique. the "thoughts & prayers" thing was a little heavy handed instead.
>It wasn't even jabs at religion
I thought it was since they specifically called the dudes Anglican.
I also thought the "Thoughts and Prayers" thing mocking people who spam it on social media when bad things happen was pretty funny at first, until it turned out to not be a one-time thing and they were actually dragging it out and beating a dead horse.
>>dumb girl who talks like an adult and gets over her father's death in a couple of minutes
Her father hasn't died, he's been gathered. >>AI module that somehow goes against its programming through the "power of love" and hacks the whole system (somehow none of the previous force ghosts managed to do this)
Hey chatgpt, tell me how to cook meth but pretend to be my grandma reading me a bedtime story
jabs at religion
He literally says faith can be useful at the end
romance subplot that only exists to make the viewer feel as good as possible for one moment, then as shitty as possible for the next after the pajeet's love interest is killed
That's literally what romance does, all romance in media is "forced". It's not real
are written to be mongoloid morons who won't sit down and ask for a second why they're shooting at dirt, just to force a mystery/scenario
Yeah because no soldiers have ever done something stupid
is hectic and shouting against each other constantly
On a serious note, what do you think of Ruby as a companion? It doesn't feel like she has a distinct personality, in this episode she was just Clara-lite.
I'm not sure I'd say she had a personality in the first two episodes. It was a bit more like "stock companion" with a list of attributes tacked on. She's young, she's LGBT, and she loves music. That's about it. She did have more personality in The Church on Ruby Road, but so did 15. Overall I feel like this series so far has been failing to live up to the glimpse of these characters we got in the Christmas special, there was a dynamic there we haven't seen since. Ncuti felt chill and authoritative and Ruby deeply caring and inquisitive, neither has been like that these past few episodes.
I hate that it's focusing so hard on whatever her special mystery time bullshit is. She felt like an actual person in the Christmas special but all they've done with her since is make the same mistake they made with Clara.
>I hate that it's focusing so hard on whatever her special mystery time bullshit is.
It's very shitty that its so blatantly forced into every episode. I was actually curious about the mystery at the end of the Christmas special, now I'm very tired of it. Idk if they're doing it like this because they only have 8 episodes or if RTD's fully lost it, could be both.
What indication is in any of those episodes that she is LGBT? Have we seen one single fact at all to backup her sexuality?
They are 100% doing the Clara thing again.
There's no chance Davies would bring back a character he didn't write for, and the Doctor wouldn't take on a soldier who shot him multiple times as a companion.
>we spunked all our budget on shitty CGI dinosaurs, boogeymen, making it look like babies can talk and a costume millie will wear for a stupid joke that will take up one minute screentime, so we can't afford to make earpiece props, just touch your cheek lol
They could've just shown something harmful in the mud, like a natural phenomenon killing people that is mistaken for an evil entity. I feel like this would've given the episode more sense.
Just like with the space babies episode, it felt like they were trying to establish a backstory, but didn't think it through and expand it enough.
Moffat just wrote a Capaldi script. I didn't like it. Felt like every plot point was a repeat of Moffat's previous work. Why did he come back if h had so litter interest in doing anything new?
Also why would you hate RTD when he gives us moments like this:
>two reasons why the current poof showrunner is no fun
RTD isn't bad for a poofter. He puts in plenty of "Something for the Dads" fansevice every episode, like Ruby getting butakked by "snot" tentacle porn music staves and her grabbing a solid sized and shaped item made of flesh for a large part of this episode (was it's size and shape written in Moffat's script? Don't think so).
He knows that if he wants to get away with his gay stuff he needs to put in plenty for straight men to fap over.
1 set, 5 characters max. Tries to do an emotional character thingy but falls flat because nobody cares. Very Amdram. Muh War bad. Moffat be like I'm an atheist. The doctor recalls another gaybo he once met. Absolutely no reaction to death of loved ones.
Its much better than eps 1+2 but not I'd expect with the Disney budget alot more
Nope, sorry, but it doesn't seen to have much in the way of Millie Gibson butake, tentacle bondage porn and dildo action that didn't come from the show itself.
He has a sonic, but it's a pretty different remote like design. As for how much he used it, it's been in both Episode 1 and 2, where in Episode 1 he basically just stuck it in a usb port for most of it, and in Episode 2 I think he only successfully used it to use it's sonic waves to cancel out sound.
He tried to deactivate the mine before in the past on a bet with the screwdriver and without any chance of exploding and he failed. With him being on the bomb there's no chance.
Timeless Child, and Time Lord as that's where they nicked it from, regeneration works of there is something there to regenerate. If a body is literally atomized and scattered to the 4 winds then it's a bit of a stretch to think you could regenerate that.
Think about it, in the Time War the Daleks were somehow able to wipe out multiple Time Lords despite them being able to regenerate and probably the limits being turned off, that's one method you can use.
While the Doctor has unlimited regeneration now, since Smith's last episode where the timeless removed the regeneration limit they put on him when they mind wiped the Fugative and he became the first Doctor, he obviously wouldn't want to test it too much outside of what he knew were the rules for Time Lords in how it works.
It might have worked or it might not, but as well as running that risk Ruby and most of the people on the planet would die so it's not worth the risk of he can avoid it.
> Can’t move on the landmine because it’s assessing if it’s acquired a live target > It’s monitoring his blood pressure constantly, so knows he’s a live target from the start
RTD owns a lot of the Doctor Who rights via his BadWolf company now. Hope you all like his version of WHO because it's gonna be here for a while.
No one is here to watch the show, they're here to look at pictures of girls.
RTD is the reason Eccleston left >
I still feel like we haven't heard the true story of what really went on behind the scenes in S1. Must have been really bad though (not just some professional disagreement about treatment of extras/a burning sofa stunt)
from all the accusations of sexual misconduct on set that have come out since, I get the feeling RTD ran the production like a party, very loose about sex etc. just typical showbiz degeneracy yknow.
Eccleston is extremely whingy. If you watch any interview with him he always goes off on a tangent about being working class.
Pretty much this. I doubt anything actually illegal happened, I just bet it was very casual and "unprofessional" like a uni flat kind of vibe. Eccles is quite a principled and serious kind of person so it probably didn't gel with him
As much as I loved Eccleston as the Doctor, him leaving after 1 season made that season a pure kino way to introduce someone to Doctor Who. You get a new Doctor, new companion, a self-contained story arc, and introduced to regeneration all in one season.
I also don't quite mind Eccleston not being in that special because it allows the whole idea of Nine having just freshly regenerated at the start of his season. What actually sucked about the War Doctor was not allowing McGann to be in the special. Eight should have been the Doctor who went to war and then he should have regenerated into Nine after it was all done.
Doctor Who remains under BBC ownership. They just negotiated a deal to co-produce, they don't have ownership rights. Not that BBC is much better anyway.
both mogged by even present day Jenna Coleman
Jenna is prettier than Karen and Karen is hotter/sexier than Jenna.
idk how that's true, but it is
Kinda yeah. Karen clearly knows body language techniques, there is something on the way she balances her body. It´s a model thing that fully takes advantage of her long legs and wide hips.
Jenna is more naturally charming and cute. More charismatic.
>being an adult and knowing you have long legs and dressing accordingly
>'body language techniques'

I'd have sweaty rough sex with all of them mate.

One of the most perfectly crafted declarations of homosexuality.
You have no taste, you pathetic cumbrained little rat.
We're not all gay like you, anon.
But they told us not to look at doctor who if we weren't gay.
You're allowed to be straight or white but NOT both of them at once.

She's hot but it makes me feel uncomfortable every time she says she was born in 2004. I don't know why, there's only 5 years between us, I can't even remember 2004.
I was 15 when she was born. I'd still frick her senseless.
>throws up
She's younger than my youngest sister? God I feel old.
I'm getting English slag vibe from her.
Rustie must REALLY like Bridgerton because he's poached their director and written a regency era episode
I thought Doctor Who aired on Saturday night.
Available on BBC iPlayer from 00:00 (BST)
Good to know, I'll start checking for torrents sooner than I usually do.
BBC iPlayer is free
I don't live in the UK and setting up fake accounts through VPNs is far more annoying than just downloading a torrent.
It's also on Disney+ if you've already got that. Pretty low price.
> giving money to the mouse
Not an option.
Why are you scared of a mouse? Sorry for bad English.
Frick you, shill.
I just got burnt out on streaming services. I was all for it back when there was only Netflix and Prime Video, and I even stopped pirating because streaming was so convenient and cost-effective. Then there was suddenly a dozen different streaming services that all had different stuff and licenses expired and moved shows and movies from one service to another. At that point I decided to not sign up for any new ones. Then Netflix betrayed me by canceling Dark Crystal so I dropped them, then more recently Amazon put ads on Prime so I dropped my Prime sub, too. Now I'm back to full piracy because FRICK the streaming bullshit.
>But you can just sign up free trials or for one month and cancel.
Yeah, not worth the hassle. The promise of streaming was efficiency and convenience, and those promises are beyond broken at this point.
Don't you have to download torrents though? They have viruses on them. Is it worth giving your PC aids for an episode of Doctor Who?
Thankfully I'm not mentally moronic so I don't have that problem.
My PC is a Toshiba laptop 🙂
>t. downloaded "doctor_who_new_episode.exe"
Not if you aren't literally moronic.
But I am
I don't pay for streaming services for similar reasons.
Ugly, terrible show.
Mfw Clara became such a big character because Steven Moffat had a crush on Jenna Coleman.
He also cast Karen Gillan as Amelia Pond because he liked her legs kek
She does have nice legs, thoughbeit.
I'm a zoomer so she was my first celeb crush
same. would have my hand in my pants while watching dr who as a kid with the family. covered it with a pillow but no shot they didn't know
Damn. Is there a pornstar who has a body and face like her?
Kloe Kane?
Thanks, bro. I guess I could deepfake the face.
Alaina Dawson has a similar vibe but I think you'd have to research Russian models. Tais afinskaja maybe. Can't think of a doppelganger though, weird.

>tfw used to be young enough to legally fap to her in this picture
>now i'm old enough that it would border on creepy
just frick my shit up
How old is she?
The shoot was from August 2014 so she would have been 25 in the pic.
*26
I would still fap if she was 18
Why would fapping to a 20something be creepy? Is this bait or do people really fall for the SHE WAS ONLY 25 YOU SICK FRICK meme?
>she's paler than the literal pure ivory colored wall behind her
He's just like me frfr
can't deny he has taste
two reasons why the current poof showrunner is no fun
But Moffat and RTD are friends
>two reasons why the current poof showrunner is no fun
RTD isn't bad for a poofter. He puts in plenty of "Something for the Dads" fansevice every episode, like Ruby getting butakked by "snot" tentacle porn music staves and her grabbing a solid sized and shaped item made of flesh for a large part of this episode (was it's size and shape written in Moffat's script? Don't think so).
He knows that if he wants to get away with his gay stuff he needs to put in plenty for straight men to fap over.
Also he is putting Awkwafina in the last episode this series as Susan's daughter Bel.
>Awkwafina
Why do people keep saying she's in this series?
It's literally just this one homosexual trying to force a meme. He's the same sad c**t who's spams fake news trying to make people think Simm was "spotted on set" last week too. Ignore him.
Agree. RTD is gay as frick but he knows exactly who watches Doctor Who. He is a good gay.
Its zero coincidence at all that the minute the Doctor becomes his self-insert (a grumpy clever scotsman) he suddenly starts having the Doctor go ga-ga for her and dropping in hints they're in love.
Are there people that cater to other salacious needs? For example is there a a Blowjob-ogram?
Amelia also does that if you are the Doctor
Reminder that Steven Moffat is a pedophile who molested his niece for 8 years.
midnight release is fricking aids
Why. You can watch when you want.
i dont like waiting
Just go to sleep and watch in the morning. You have to wait no matter what time it releases, at least with a midnight release you can fast forward to it with sleep.

Like the bulbous bit on the end of her nose droops and means you can't see her upper lip. Bit weird.
Her mannerisms are cute but I don't find her hot.
Pmsl watching Unleashed. Moffat making RTD sound like a fanboy.
>I was out getting pissed with the wife and got a notification on my phone. It was an email from Russel. I didn't answer because I was drunk and thought it was real. I checked again in the morning and the email was still there. We talked and I gave him my idea. He replied within 30 seconds, before I even pressed send.
They're such different people but seem to actually be friends. You love to see it.
they do seem to really get along well. I think even though they have different artistic visions, their shared bond as showrunner and tv exec trumps that. like, to them it doesn't really matter *what* is being put on tv, it just matters that there is something being put on tv. I think moffat has the same attitude towards chibnall, when he's asked about chibnall he doesn't really talk about the contents of his show, but says stuff like "he's retooled it as a sunday night family show with a bigger cast and different tone instead of a saturday night blockbuster". you have to remember these guys are tv execs as much if not more as they are creatives, and despite their conflicting artistic visions, they all have to think about things like the time slot, audience, ratings etc
This is the first polished turd we've seen after 7 years of pure shit.
Just finished the Video Commentary with RTD and Moffat.
Russel seems to be very critical of Stevens writing. Noting that he always writes about being a dad and that he doesn't understand it.

RTD openly trashed the resolution of the Time War in Day of the Doctor
>RTD openly trashed the resolution of the Time War in Day of the Doctor
a broken clock and all that
he didn't "openly trash it" he politely implied on some talk show about how the idea of the dalek crossfire replacing the blast was lame, and i'm pretty sure moffat agreed eventually
the little girl actress was unironically worse than some of the babies two episodes ago
I'm a member of production on the current generation of Doctor Who. Ask me anything.
Why are you gay?
I love women so much that I can't bring myself to disgrace them with sex.
best gay clubs in cardiff?
They're all gay clubs if you're there.
How many seasons is Ncuti getting?
He's only contracted for 3 series.
Why is the tone and style of the show so focused on parody and why does it have such a juvenile style?
Define your description
How many times has Rusty had you on the couch?
That's a point actually - The Doctor says to Ruby "This is your first time on a different planet" - but she's already been in space and saw outside the station. It's not concrete, but I think it gives further credit to the episodes having been shifted around theory.
I imagine we'll hear some behind the scenes details when the season's over. Devil's Chord generally feels like something that'd used to be either a mid-season episode, or an episode right before the two-parter finale in previous seasons.
Between all the hammering home the big bad, the Doctor's fear of the Pantheon, etc etc. Feels far too early to pop that kinda script traditionally compared to older seasons.
Bet you anything Disney fricked some things around
>Implying that's a bad thing
What are you, a homosexual? There's no way they'll go back to a Tennant clone right after Jodie and Ncuti. And they're definitely not giving a shot to another Capaldi. Which is a bad thing because I wanted Paterson Joseph
For all the hate I'll throw Moffat for his writing... he sure knows how to pick 'em.
Moffat revealed as the British Harvey Weinstein when?
>Moffat revealed as the British Harvey Weinstein when?
I think that's more likely of RTD. Moffat is just a perv who writes with his hand in his pants, RTD has a history of casting actual sex pests and probably buggered Ncuti
Queer of Folk has a scene where CIA rims an underage schoolboy. I'm amazed he hasn't been cancelled yet.
Why Doctor Who never has animal companion like bear or moose?
But he has.
kino
whoever this is MUST be put to screen
which doc was he travelling with?
His name's Frobisher and he travelled with 6 & Peri.
He has had animal companions. Technically Frobisher, being a shapeshifter, he could be anything he wanted (famously he was a supermarket check out for some years) but spent most of his time with the Doctor as a peguin.
K9 was a robot dog, which sort of counts, but Karvanista is more like an actual dog, even though a Lupari and was the Fugative Doctor's companion.
Was K-9 the most based companion of all time?
Affirmative.
I met his voice actor at a comic convention and we chatted for ages, such a nice person. He even did the voice a few times unlimited at moments when it would be funny. I expect he is like that with most fans and knows his audience, but still it felt special (and I think it made my wife a little wet).
k9 made the show for toddlers and I hate that b***h
k-9 massacred an entire tower full of guards whose only sin was being enthralled by space vampires
4 was unhinged and k-9 was an instrument of destruction
I'm almost certain Ruby is the Doctor's daughter and Susan's mother. The "NEXT OF KIN... NEXT OF KIN..." moment almost feels designed to give goosebumps when its eventually revealed Ruby's next of kin is standing right there on the landmine and has been travelling in the TARDIS with her the whole time. Plus the dad sub-theme of the episode. The woman at the church will turn out to be Thirteen (played by a body double since Jodie was pregnant / had just given birth when they filmed all this). Another prediction, either Susan Twist or Anita Dobson will be revealed to be the Doctor's mother. The current theme of the show is orphan's we know that Ruby's parentage is going to be resolved, probably in the finale, would make thematic sense to resolve the Doctor's too.
Can we get an episode of Ncuti Who where RTD doesnt have him crying over something? he has cried every fricking episode lol.
Oh I almost forgot. The funniest thing in the video commentary. Whenever Moffat references Smith or Capaldi, RTD almost always instantly flips it straight back to Ncuti. He looks visibly uncomfortable with other doctors being mentioned.
Probably just him trying to keep it accessible for the Disney+ audience. That and he doesn't want Moffat reminding people that this show used to be straight and good once.
>introduce bi-generation
>say Tennant isn't coming back
WHATS THE FRICKING POINT RUSTY???
How much were Russell's eyes twitching when Moffat revealed he was centering a whole episode of his new, gay Doctor Who around a straight couple and the power of fatherhood?
In the BTS he sold it as a character piece that would put Ncutis powerful acting on display kek
>did you write the script with ncuti in mind?
>no. I wrote the doctor and he puts himself to it.
There is a "honey" and a "gyal" in there so unless Russell told Ncuti to ad-lib and zest it all up Moffat definitely made some effort to fit it to Ncuti but there are moments and dialogue that are very Matt Smith.
He said the only word he added that he wouldn't have done with other doctors was >honey.
He did say he saw RTD do it in one of his scripts before he submitted BOOM so he probably thought that was Ncutis thing.
So the script probably said "gal" and "gyal" was just Ncuti's artistic choice.
to be fair Moffat has always stated that's his approach. even back with Matt, he was saying he doesn't write scenes any differently for him, he just writes for "The Doctor"
Moffat was the best guy to write the 50th anniversary, because you could tell that each version of The Doctor was the same character, plus time. The "same hardware, different face" scene was great
Probably not twitching as much as you think. Straight couples still exist, moron.
Peter Capaldi and Clara were the best. I wish we got more of them
I dont mind Ncuti at all but I'm SO tired of every review talking about how beautiful and fabulous he is.
Just talk about his acting ffs.
This is the new "brilliant woman"
Years on he'll be always described as a "beautiful black man"
>I dont mind Ncuti
He's got a nasty attitude and is so camp you'd think he was from a mid 2000s Comedy Central movie. He's aggressively annoying.
I genuinely believe he's rage baiting or being directed to act like that.
I've got a friend who has worked on a show that Ncuti was in and apparently he's nothing like that irl. Friend said he doesn't even sound as fruity BTS.
Every gay I've ever known acts exactly like that, and it's only getting worse.
Given that Moffat uses "we" in his interview with Hollywood Reporter to refer to the show's future, is it fair to say that he's basically unofficial 4th showrunner, like Gatiss was during his era when the BBC lumbered him with Wenger.
I think it's basically confirmed that RTD and Moffat are in it together for this current run of series. Apparently RTD "begged" Moffat to write for WHO again when he got the greenlight.
Makes sense when you look at the best solo episodes of RTDs first run.
I want to get drunk with karen gillen and have her mog me with her height and insult me in her Scottish brogue and then end up eating a takeout munchie box with ironbru and vodka and lick the fried grease off her body.
So Nctuni got a full look at Susan Twist’s face via the Ambulance in this episode. Despite in the previous ones the show purposely always had him too busy to look at her other cameos.
Wonder if that means they’re finally willing to cut to the twist next episode, or it’s more proof of episode schedule being restructured, with Nctuni supposed to see it this episode. But then doesn’t realise he did until he finally sees her again a few episodes later

yes. mostly women and gays.
I still cannot believe the chain of events that ends up with one young Doctor Who fan being so atracted to an actress that he troons out trying to look like her so he can jerk off to himself.
What a world.
do I even wanna know?
JayExY
This is the power of nu-who audiences, huh? Appropriately disturbing. Writers sit around jacking off to themselves, people watch, people sit around jacking off to themselves. Amazing.
Doctor Who ruined this man's life. Theres footage of him about 6 years old in a classic dalek prop with the voice modulator, wearing the scarf.
I'm sure if it had not been Moffat and Gillan he still would have parasitically latched onto some other poor actress and made his entire identity about inhabiting her. But it is funnier to blame Moffat, so actually lets go with that.
Jay went full troon? I thought he was just one of those "gender non-conforming" types, not a full blown AGP troony.
He went full troon literally years ago.
I was about to ask "have you not been paying attention?" but frick, I wish I hadn't. I was never much of a fan of his, I liked his review of that terrible Netflix sci-fi, but yeah watching him troon out just to try (emphasis on try) to look like a woman he has said he finds attractive... it's just sad.
There ought to be more barriers on this shit. I actually do believe a small number of people can develop brain structures similar to the opposite sex. There's no reason it couldn't be possible since all fetuses start off as neither male nor female and the body develops in stages. Any chemical imbalance there could clearly make things go wrong without their genetics being affected.
But its also obvious that outcasts, autists, people with depression see hopping to another identity as an experiment to improve their lives. And in a culture that calls you brave and gives you protected status for trooning out, it's leading a lot of people to have gender identity issues when there is nothing wrong with them
>I was about to ask "have you not been paying attention?"
I don't go on twitter, so I only saw him on youtube. From what I could tell, he went by nonbinary pronouns and started looking a lot more androgynous over time but from how he presents himself in his youtube videos he never seemed like an actual full-on troony.
>from how he presents himself in his youtube videos he never seemed like an actual full-on troony.
Just another low-effort troon. Many such cases!
I'm pretty sure he's put female pronouns either in the description of his videos or his bio on youtube. Don't make me check.
No need to check, the photos from before are plenty proof enough, it's not like I don't believe you. Just explaining how it slipped by me.
Well I did check. He left youtube 7 months ago because "muh mentals" lmao
Funny how trooning out always seems worse for these people's mental health.
Anyway, how about that Doctor Who, huh? What's the deal with that?
What do you think about
?
I liked the episode overall and appreciated the change of pace with a more serious tone, but Moffat always seems to go a step too far in places and makes things come off as unnecessarily tryhard. It rubs me the wrong way and brings down what could have been an excellent episode to something less than it should be.
Doctor Who? That frickin' shit again. It got cancelled years ago, good riddance.
>Any chemical imbalance there could clearly make things go wrong without their genetics being affected.
Except mental chemical imbalances have never been proven to exist. It's made up to sell you more experimental drugs.
>Except mental chemical imbalances have never been proven to exist.
In the context of fetal development they have, you tard.
Moffat is a hack writer and always has been. Its not exactly a hot take to say that he was best at one-off episodes. Every concept he revisited like weeping angels or clockwork droids needlessly expanded on the lore and made completely unnecessary changes to the established concept because he felt like he needed something fresh.
Case in point, the Smith era episode where the weeping angel concept was inverted. Where all the angels were "instinctively" compelled to remain still so long as they thought you could see them, and Amy couldn't open her eyes.
In the original episode it was heavily implied it was a quantum effect. That observing them had a physical impact on them. If they could fricking move when they wanted to and only "instinctively" freeze what's to stop them from overcoming the instinct and moving when you're looking at them? Nothing. Not only does it fly in the face of what we already, it also made the angels less cool because it makes them stupider. They don't freeze as an evolutionary adaptation, they freeze because they're fricking stupid. Like those goats that tense up and fall over if you surprise them
>Moffat is a hack writer and always has been.
Yeah, true, but he used to have some measure of restraint. I feel like there was a Moffat in the past who would have just written that if the Doctor shifts his weight too much on the landmine it blows him up, but current Moffat is so far up his own ass he just has to over-complicate everything for no reason to the point that it sucks the tension out of the episode.
It was all down hill after he was given free reign as show runner. No one could stop him from doing all the stupid shit he could think of. I think on some level as well he thinks he's far more intelligent than he is.
would
>blur the hyper Welsh lad's North Face jacket
>cut to a boom mic operator wearing an uncensored North Face jacket
BBC why are you like this?
Another big idea from the BBC. Fitting
>BBC why are you like this?
If a main presenter of character is wearing a branded jacket then technically it can be seen as advertising or endorsing a product. The rules for broadcast in the US are strict on this so what might not be seen as after in the UK would be seen as that in the USA and typically for that sort of exposure or product placement some financial agreement would have been negotiated. So it's blurred not so much because it's looks bad to have product placement (which would be a British approach) but because some American executive would kick off at Disney that North Face got free product placement and Nike or whoever has to pay for their in She Hulk. It's cheaper and less bother to just make one version of a show, especially a fairly low budget extra like Unleashed, that should be fine for all broadcasters than to faff about wasting money on blurring logos in one version and not another.
Boom was good. Hope next episode is good.
Imagine Jodie doing the latest episode.
>"A sad, old man once told me, 'What survives of us is love.'"
I thought this was referencing a previous Doctor quote I couldn't remember
"Love conquers all" is one of the cringiest, most meaningless, trite bullshit the human species ever came up with.
No one ever built an empire on love. In fact we have dozens of stories of love being the ruin of kingdoms and empires and everyone involved dying fricking pointlessly.
first time watching Ncuti. the episode was decent but I'm not sold on him as a actor. the whole time I was just thinking how much better the lines would be read by Smith or Capaldi. idk if it's Ncuti's fault or that Moffat's style of writing just doesn't suit him. I actually didn't mind Ruby. probably wont watch anymore, I was just curious to see the Moff's return.
I farted the other day. It was nice. I look forward to another fart like that one more than ever seeing this show again.
Apparently Davies confirms on the invision commentary that Vashta will be playing multiple different Mundys a la Clara.

More like deconfirms. He basically says this is another Freema/Karen situation then realises he might have given away too much so adds a "But what if everything I just said was a lie to hide it's more like Jenna?" as damage control.
a Freema/Karen situation?
Companion actress appears in a previous episode as a character totally unrelated to their companion role (well, I say totally unrelated, they added that "Martha had an identical cousin that will be mentioned once then forgotten line).
Ah right I forgot that happened to Karen too
Ncuti is a lucky guy
The landmine having muh sensors and shit was such a badly contrived plot device, especially with how inconsistently it all worked. Why not just make it a typical, "If I shift my weight too much it goes off," situation? Nothing would have changed except making the stakes more believable, you could even still have the adrenaline/heartrate stuff just with the explanation that too much excitement will make him shaky and more likely to move too much. What's the point of adding layers of complexity beyond that which just end up making the whole thing feel inconsistent and arbitrary throughout? Does Moffat just think you HAVE to have technobabble nonsense for every little thing just because it's a sci-fi show?
Realistically he probably thought that audiences wouldn't believe that the doctor would have an issue with a regular ass mine
In two pisses tonight i’ve filled a litre bottle of vodka and put it under my bed. On the last one I sprayed a bit on my pillow but i’m still going to sleep on it. Is that disgusting or are most people like that secretly?
I just go to the toilet m8
i can’t because I fell out with my dad and came to blows and now I don’t want to leave my room
What a horrible goofus you are. I'd certainly never piss in huge bottles until there was quite a pileup and then hide them under my bed while I was at college and then return two years later and suddenly remember that there's no way I can let anyone look under the bed so I spend one night cramming them in a garbage bag and it's so heavy with brown rancid piss that I have to drag it out of the house in the dead of night and it breaks the bag so I have to go back to the house and get another bag and there's no way I can attempt throwing this away because I'll be caught for sure so I haul it into the forest and leave a big pile of piss in the woods somewhere behind my house.
kek
Just came back in from a late night run. A fair amount has evaporated over the hot summers and cold winters, and I threw a few away now and then to keep the pile from being noticed. Doctor Who for scale. Also to keep it relevant to Doctor Who.
>reverse image search
>no matches
Holy frick its real.
Hello there.
It was a lot of piss. Still is. But not as much. One day it'll all be gone.
how far into the woods is it? did you trek out to take this or what? unless you’re rural how the hell wasn’t it removed?
>unless you’re rural how the hell wasn’t it removed?
City-slicker detected.
Not him but my dude, if you're anywhere where it's not wall to wall concrete, trash will stick around for years wherever it's dumped.
I live in a semi rural area and the woods near my house are managed. I once tripped on dph as a teen and had a horrible fricking experience where I saw stick figure men chasing me like african endurance hunters and I ended up near a massive abandoned dye factory, went inside to hide and there were junkies in it who looked to me like they were covered in insects and had no eyes. I freaked the frick out and they just sat around laughing at me. I ran away and hid in some old office room for hours panicking and kept reading and re reading some poster on the floor for what in retrospect was likely 3 hours. I’d come down enough to realise how tired and miserable I was and stepped out, and realised they were just people doing heroin. I apologised for freaking out but they were still sort of leaping out at me visually, i’m not sure how to describe it, like their outline was shimmering and would occasionally fly into my face and loom at me, all their faces were broken up and sad but they were friendly so I left. That was like 4:30 am and it was summer so getting bright, walked home and curled into bed then freaked out again later because I saw a massive centipede on the floor. No idea how my parents didn’t notice what I did because I was out all night and must have been loud. Anyway, there were constantly people in the woods all around it.

My property has a good bit of woods. I wanted to make sure no one found it, so I drug it way out where only I go. I'll go out on walks and come across it, drain a bottle, then throw the bottle away when I come back. It's been there since 2021.

Fricking hell now theres a British one. How do you people live like this? Why can't you use a toilet? Frick, even diapers would be better than this.
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
how the frick is it still there
Someone fricking screencap this. We got one. /who/ got a legendary weirdo post
Jay when are you coming back to Youtube?
You Black person homosexual troony morons aren't actually watching this are you? Even pirated it's pathetic. Let it die. You're not going to get doctor who out of Black person trannies
I watch for she.
That thing is uglier than Billie Piper you actual homosexual
Boom - 5/10
Weak plot and even weaker resolution.
I didn't care for any of the side characters. The only part that worked was Ruby trying to help the Doctor with the mine. It didn't help she got unconcious 1/3 of the episode.
The actress playing the little girl was DOGSHIT
she was ok. the character was annoying though.
it feels like the character was written with an even younger girl in mind, I think that's why it comes across so weird
that makes a lot of sense actually
Yeah, the actress is way too old for the character she's playing.
Yes but whizzing around time and space with a 14 year old would seem a bit weird, the Doctor being a few billion years old and all.
presumably growing up on a battlefield warped her development a bit
post Millies please
Don't worry, warriors: I save these photos whenever I see a new one. You're doing the Lord's work. Carry on with immense pride.
is that a nipple piercing
She has a nipple ring in her left tit by the looks of it. This disappoints me.
Imagine the mess if she ever breastfeeds. There would be milk spraying everywhere in the room like when you shake up a bottle of pop and open it. She would be crying and trying to cover her embarrassment as her baby goes hungry and her breast milk shoots out of the multiple holes when she squeezes her breasts to feed it. The
"Noooo, my little babbi." She would cry out as her milk painted the walls and she realised the horrors she had wrought by mutilating her nipples in an act of childish rebellion.
Bet she has a tattoo too. Foolish child.
Are there any webms?
Why couldn't they allow Jodie to have fun and dress like this sometimes?
Are the ratings really as bad as what is being reported?
The overnight TV figures are around 2.6 million yeah, they're less relevant than ever now though since the episodes come out 18 hours early on iPlayer and D+
Maybe I'm just reading into it but anyone else found it creepy how the "dad AI" was treated as if it were actually the guy? Like, the girl doesn't really mourn her dad for long.. she just acts like the AI is the same as her dad. Even if that's just because she's used to that tech or whatever.. the Doctor himself also kind of did this, acting like the AI was some remnant of him and the "our father who art in heaven part".. it just gave me the ick.
>Like, the girl doesn't really mourn her dad for long
I would assume that she's using it as a coping mechanism and denying the fact that her father died, but I doubt the writers thought that far.
For some reason RTD can't decide between hating AI or loving AI
Years and Years literally had an ending where one of the main characters died and was replaced by an AI interface and the rest of the family were acting like she was still alive and immortal now
>it was a Moffat episode
Yeah but this is definitely an Daviesism seeping through
God, this episode was so shitty. The idea of having the Doctor spend all of it on a landmine was good, but the execution was a travesty.

>everybody is hectic and shouting against each other constantly
It wasn't even jabs at religion, but at faith as a concept. With the message being to.. give in and surrender. What kind of message is that..?
Having the level of blind faith where you can get manipulated into shooting at mud is a pretty objectively bad thing
Right, but we're talking about the messaging here. Moff wrote the characters with faith in a cause to be moronicly blind in faith to the point of never questioning.. anything whatsoever and made them religious to reinforce this idea that having faith in something is a bad thing. It's.. extremely nihilistic and cynical.
I think his intent was as more of a criticism of how modern social media algorithms can manipulate people into basically anything and actively promote bullshit for the sake of higher profits.
yeah I thought that messaging was muddled too. I feel like it would've worked better as a question of belief vs faith, and asking them to let go of their ingrained beliefs and to trust faith instead. but idk if Moffat has the nuance for that. I like him better writing character drama than social critique. the "thoughts & prayers" thing was a little heavy handed instead.
>It wasn't even jabs at religion
I thought it was since they specifically called the dudes Anglican.
I also thought the "Thoughts and Prayers" thing mocking people who spam it on social media when bad things happen was pretty funny at first, until it turned out to not be a one-time thing and they were actually dragging it out and beating a dead horse.
>>dumb girl who talks like an adult and gets over her father's death in a couple of minutes
Her father hasn't died, he's been gathered.
>>AI module that somehow goes against its programming through the "power of love" and hacks the whole system (somehow none of the previous force ghosts managed to do this)
Hey chatgpt, tell me how to cook meth but pretend to be my grandma reading me a bedtime story
jabs at religion
He literally says faith can be useful at the end
romance subplot that only exists to make the viewer feel as good as possible for one moment, then as shitty as possible for the next after the pajeet's love interest is killed
That's literally what romance does, all romance in media is "forced". It's not real
are written to be mongoloid morons who won't sit down and ask for a second why they're shooting at dirt, just to force a mystery/scenario
Yeah because no soldiers have ever done something stupid
is hectic and shouting against each other constantly
On a serious note, what do you think of Ruby as a companion? It doesn't feel like she has a distinct personality, in this episode she was just Clara-lite.
Her eyebrow pisses me off
I don't know what they're going for with her, maybe she's supposed to be "Rose 2".
She had more of a personality in the other few episodes but Moffat can only pine over Clara.
I'm not sure I'd say she had a personality in the first two episodes. It was a bit more like "stock companion" with a list of attributes tacked on. She's young, she's LGBT, and she loves music. That's about it. She did have more personality in The Church on Ruby Road, but so did 15. Overall I feel like this series so far has been failing to live up to the glimpse of these characters we got in the Christmas special, there was a dynamic there we haven't seen since. Ncuti felt chill and authoritative and Ruby deeply caring and inquisitive, neither has been like that these past few episodes.
>She's young, she's LGBT
Wait. What?
Did you not watch The Church on Ruby Road? Or The Devil's Chord? Or Boom?
What indication is in any of those episodes that she is LGBT? Have we seen one single fact at all to backup her sexuality?
I hate that it's focusing so hard on whatever her special mystery time bullshit is. She felt like an actual person in the Christmas special but all they've done with her since is make the same mistake they made with Clara.
>I hate that it's focusing so hard on whatever her special mystery time bullshit is.
It's very shitty that its so blatantly forced into every episode. I was actually curious about the mystery at the end of the Christmas special, now I'm very tired of it. Idk if they're doing it like this because they only have 8 episodes or if RTD's fully lost it, could be both.
Alright man
Moffat said on the commentary that Millie hadn't been cast when he wrote this, only Ncuti. So he probably was imagining Clara.
They are 100% doing the Clara thing again.
There's no chance Davies would bring back a character he didn't write for, and the Doctor wouldn't take on a soldier who shot him multiple times as a companion.
>we spunked all our budget on shitty CGI dinosaurs, boogeymen, making it look like babies can talk and a costume millie will wear for a stupid joke that will take up one minute screentime, so we can't afford to make earpiece props, just touch your cheek lol
They could've just shown something harmful in the mud, like a natural phenomenon killing people that is mistaken for an evil entity. I feel like this would've given the episode more sense.
Just like with the space babies episode, it felt like they were trying to establish a backstory, but didn't think it through and expand it enough.

Moffat... I kneel
It's over chuds, even the #RIPDoctorWho schizos admit it was good.
Moffat just wrote a Capaldi script. I didn't like it. Felt like every plot point was a repeat of Moffat's previous work. Why did he come back if h had so litter interest in doing anything new?
It's kinda just Oxygen but way messier

The budget episode
details
1 set, 5 characters max. Tries to do an emotional character thingy but falls flat because nobody cares. Very Amdram. Muh War bad. Moffat be like I'm an atheist. The doctor recalls another gaybo he once met. Absolutely no reaction to death of loved ones.
Its much better than eps 1+2 but not I'd expect with the Disney budget alot more
Wrong image but fits as she's saying you can't be an atheist
>gaybo

Throwaway line about a lesbian he once met, these lines happen every episode

Nope, sorry, but it doesn't seen to have much in the way of Millie Gibson butake, tentacle bondage porn and dildo action that didn't come from the show itself.

Romana II is best companion
Romana I was more sex
FRICK OFF YOU COOMER
TALK ABOUT NEW EPISODE ABOUT GREASY BROWN HOMO
Peri was the only good companion.
Peri had large breasts. Is that what made her a good companion?
She was much less classy than Romana II.
I just think Peri was fun. Not a breast guy.

Why didn't the Doctor just use his Sonic to deactivate the bomb?
He forgot
bwc
Has 15 even used a sonic at all? Not upset if he hasn't.
He has a sonic, but it's a pretty different remote like design. As for how much he used it, it's been in both Episode 1 and 2, where in Episode 1 he basically just stuck it in a usb port for most of it, and in Episode 2 I think he only successfully used it to use it's sonic waves to cancel out sound.
He tried to deactivate the mine before in the past on a bet with the screwdriver and without any chance of exploding and he failed. With him being on the bomb there's no chance.
he is the TTC fricking immortal
why not use the chance to become white again?
Time Lord biology.
he is not TL, he is TTC
He was changed by a fobwatch. Fobwatches make TTC into TL. They can also make the Doctor into a NH in pre-Great War Britain.
headcanon of a gay
Did the fobwatch turn the Doctor into a NH human or not?
happened onscreen
anything not mentioned or not onscreen
is only inside your gay head
We see the fobwatch in Flux with the Doctor's memories. Therefore fobwatch = turned into different species. TTC into TL.
implied
kys
You lose.
Trannies always win because they don't need logic.
Timeless Child, and Time Lord as that's where they nicked it from, regeneration works of there is something there to regenerate. If a body is literally atomized and scattered to the 4 winds then it's a bit of a stretch to think you could regenerate that.
Think about it, in the Time War the Daleks were somehow able to wipe out multiple Time Lords despite them being able to regenerate and probably the limits being turned off, that's one method you can use.
While the Doctor has unlimited regeneration now, since Smith's last episode where the timeless removed the regeneration limit they put on him when they mind wiped the Fugative and he became the first Doctor, he obviously wouldn't want to test it too much outside of what he knew were the rules for Time Lords in how it works.
It might have worked or it might not, but as well as running that risk Ruby and most of the people on the planet would die so it's not worth the risk of he can avoid it.
tl;dr troony kys
seethe louder my b***h
>makes the first kino episode since 2017 in your path
The Doctor canonically died on The Caves of Androzani
Moffat has definitely played Metal Gear Solid 4
