The magic of Dr Who is that you can be watching a pretty good episode but there’s always a 50/50 chance the very next scene will be the most cringe thing you’ve ever seen in ur life
Sorry guys, but this one is... totally fine? It's a stylistic device. It's part of the production. It's like getting mad that they never explain why there's score or lighting. Grow Up.
Little known fact: William Hartnell was actually not a massive Dr Who fan before taking the role! 😱😱😱Shockingly, he didn’t even know The Doctor was a Time Lord from Gallifrey! 🤯🤯Looks like it’s time to toss my Hartnell Doctor DVDs! 🙃
What’s charming about Chibnall exposition is that it’ll super explain really obvious things we can see (“there’s a Dalek standing in my Tardis!”) but offer absolutely no explanation or hint on the actually complicated parts of his scripts that are hard to grapple with. Feral.
Dr Who when the Master is revealed in NuWho: It can’t be! IMPOSSIBLE! the stakes are higher then ever before I have no idea if we’re going to get out of this one alive this is my darkest hour
Dr Who when the Master is revealed in Classic Who: This piss goblin again?
I love the “Jodie Whittaker is the problem” post because it implies, what? That the Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos would be a great episode if Matt Smith was in it????
“Don’t you get it Master? You don't need money, don't take fame. Don't need no credit card to ride this train. It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes, but it might just save your life! That's the power of the Doctor!”
Entering a cursed time when the next Dr Who and the next Jame Bond are both on the table. I’m gonna be scrolling through so many publicity photos of British actors on here
Love Dr Who fans. Any other fan getting a two episode premiere would be like “what a treat, Christmas has come early” but here it’s like “erm LOCK THEM UP! two episodes? They’ve gone mad I want them arrested”
Idiots: see how woke Chibnall Who is, all the villains are white, it's reverse racism!
*Prominent villain is not white
Idiots: WELL WELL WELL A DIVERSITY HIRE
@MrDominicMiller
This could defo be the case, but I do like the little gag where he forgot to bring his Tardis key, which in turn kinda points to the idea he probably left the sonic as well
Be interested if Moffat will bring some of his trademark bristle and confrontational edge to 15. Who so far seems carefully crafted to be a completely frictionless Doctor.
Miss the days of Dr Who when Graham would’ve looked through the files on the Doctor and it was all black and white publicity photos of previous Doctors with like a pixelated effect other them and “TOP SECRET” stamped on top
Not to back seat write, but it feels like it would’ve been neater to say that it was the viewing of Ruby Road ‘04 thru the (badly made) time window that made it an unstable event? Warping it with Ruby’s perceptions/expectations.
The Doctor: ugh sorry guys I just can’t possibly manage to land in Sheffield it’s really difficult, tell you what tho, you wanna land exactly in front of a specific asteroid so we can have a gaze at it?
Everyone: Doctor pls
It’s tricky, because if you try and adapt Dr Who to the current TV trends (good production values, and one serialised story over a season) then it just wouldn’t be Dr Who (looks terrible, episodes are just seemingly random stories with no logic or reason)
Chibnall really GETS the Daleks for me. That hateful burning need to survive, but always co-existing and in conflict with their fear or rage at change... and then to invite a comparison with that and our government... chef kiss mwa
Feels like the reactions to RTDs interviews are worse then to the actual episodes. Maybe they should hide him away for a while so everyone’s less upset. Not me however. I enjoy knowing the Show runner is a impish trickster carnival barker
Kinda disappointed that lego The Batman just uses the usual Batman head. Something more like this Batgirl cowl would’ve worked better, maybe a collar piece as well.
You idiots, you sheep, falling for the obvious Jodie double in the set pics, being used to throw us off from her being fired and banished from the UK and sent to the moon to live in shame.
Series 11 has had its weaknesses, but overall it’s been a breath of fresh air and very much in-line with my Who tone/aesthetic. I also got to watch episodes with some of my best friends for the first time, which on its own ranks it very highly
The new Doctor Who trailer uses “Pop” Music.
My research has revealed to me this is slang for “Popular” music.
Once again Chibnall’s agenda to make the show popular is exposed.
Bad Wolf/Parting of the Ways is really interesting because a lot of it feels like a subversion of a standard DW finale (or at least taking beats in unexpected places) but like... it's the first one? It's like it's riffing in hindsight.
