I just have two minor nitpicks : 1 - why did the doctor build new sunglasses if he has a new screwdriver now ?! 2 - how the hell did hydroflax's body fit in the tardis doors ?!
I've always liked River Song and I really would have liked an entire season with the Doctor and River going on adventures together. There's just so much of that book they can still cover. Who is Jim the Fish? It does feel like the end of her story though and I'm sad to see her go.
Well it is because in the library two parter with Tennant she says that she just saw him with an older face and they had dinner while listening to the singing towers.
I personally thought the Christmas special was boring. I like Song, but her and Capaldi had no chemistry whatsoever. Another reason why I think he's one of the worst Doctors of the past incarnations. Hell, the War Doctor is even better.
It's most likely the same one he had during the season premiere. It keeps getting destroyed but still keeps showing up, it could be it can restore itself constantly like the TARDIS. I don't mind them, a visor with a HUD makes more sense for a sci fi show than a magic wand. It's a noodle incident, something that characters in a book or show will keep bringing up and alluding to but is never explicitly shown onscreen. Like the Time War during the RTD era.
In an interview in Doctor Who Magazine 485, RTD states that the Doctor was not meant to be a new man post regeneration, but in command. The references to the Titanic and Krakatoa were meant to establish that the Doctor had a life prior to the series. The part about Ecclestone stating that he played the Doctor as a new man, came from an interview with him that was released a bit after the 50th anniversary special, tried digging that back up, but gave up, it's buried to deep and I can't even remember the site it was with. About Moffat originally intending the War Doctor to be 9, he states that in every interview concerning War, almost as if it's his favorite bit of trivia.
Finally had a chance to see the Christmas special. (Delayed it a bit because my GF hadn't seen Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead yet, so we watched that first.) I'm not a big fan of the Christmas episodes. Most of them are forgettable or plain bad. It wasn't until Smith's first Christmas episode, A Christmas Carol, that I liked a Christmas episode. As a regular episode, I thought it was mediocre, but I do consider it to be one of my favourite Christmas episodes (tied with last years for second place). It was fluff, it was silly, but it was still a lot of fun to watch. And happy to see the final meeting between the Doctor and River Song. I had seen the Smith minisode, but I think this was much better and I'm happy to see them do it. Thanks. They really did a bad job of bringing that across in Rose, because it felt very much like this was very early in his life for Nine. (I even played with the notion that he was in the warehouse where he met Rose because he was taking his clothes from it.)
hey, now I remember... the doctor said in "the time of the doctor" that the eleventh doctor was the last doctor and he could not regenerate again... but in "the impossible astronaut", when astronaut river kills the eleventh, he starts to regenerate before river kills him mid-regeneration... can someone explain this ?!
That wasn't the Doctor. It was the Teselecta (sp?) made to look like the Doctor, he was actually miniaturized and inside it at the time. The fake regeneration energy helped sell the deception that it was actually the Doctor, and that he had died.
Happy Birthday Tom Baker! Big Finish has a nice sale on the Fourth Doctor's first series on at http://www.bigfinish.com
Steven Moffat Leaving Doctor Who After Season 10, Broadchurch Creator Steps In | Comicbook.com Whelp it's official. Moffats leaving after season 10
I know Broadchurch has a big fanbase and that Chris Chibnall is definitely a competent showrunner, but I didn't love the episodes he's written for Doctor Who so far. I didn't hate them, to be fair, but none of them really stood out to me that much. This will be him with full control, though, so hopefully he'll be able to really bring his A game. I just hope that Moffat is the only one who's leaving this year.
I still watch it. But I share your feelings. The last 2 seasons were not so great. But next week I'm getting invited on my birthday to see the Christmas special at the cinema
Can't say that I'm sorry. I don't really like no new Who in 2016 though. Other than the Christmas special.
No live action, but big finish has plenty new stuff, including new series with the War Doctor, and the 10th Doctor.
