Doctor Who Series 8

Clara makes Amy look like Hamlet (or someother character with loads of depth). Clara is just tits and eyes. Amy had a great backstory and bucketloads of wry humour.
nah - you see wry humour, i saw sexual aggression and no existence beyone her relationship to men. what did she do? for a living? strippagram at the start and perfume model at the end. her only existance beyond being tall and beautiful and flirty, was motherhood - almost entirely without the inconveniently un-model-beautiful stages of pregnancy and sleep deprivation etc.
 
Wasn't it her own brand of perfume, not just her being the model? Petrichor and all that?
ahh - yes. that does ring a bell - but it doesn't really help. I mean, she wasn't a research chemist in the perfume industry... it's not something a person can just 'do' - so it still doesn't help amy as a character feel more rounded.

Perfume model?

I thought she became a writer, wasn't it her book that they found in the hotel before being sent back in time?
 
It's not going to make any long term sense and it's not going to be right on about the women. Like I say if it was they'd be the odd bald middle aged man as a companion.

I'd like to put forward Richard Fairbrass. He'd be a good companion.
 
I'm trying to get over seeing Clara as a Blue Peter presenter tbh. She's just a 'bit keen' for my palate. My 11yo loves her though :thumbs:

why not?

can i mention donna again? or even martha? or clara?
 
martha wasn't even included in the 50th anniversary extravaganza. I'm sure she must have been asked but there was no martha. That was weird. I watched all the coverage, every bit of the doctor who splurge on the beeb. Even that crap comedy one with sylvester mcoy and the crap baker.

Personally I didn't get to the end of the 50th anniversary special and think, I wish Martha had been in that.

river song wrote that one , Amy wrote the book that artie was reading in the bells of st John and it was also mentioned that she was a travel writer in the power of three I think.
 
That it was.

Shoehorning John Hurt into DW continuity with the Time War was dire and a poor episode featuring some zygons.

An exceptional episode after the dullness of the 20th & tenth anniversary stories.

John Hurt's appearance blew the likes of Pertwee and Troughton's "dandy" banter into the black hole where it belongs.
 
yeah the 50th anniversary was absolutely brilliant. Jon Hurt can do no wrong in my eyes either. Except that time he did the V/O for that awful Space Marines film.
 
I'm sure he's said a few dodgy things about women or migrants or Moslems or maybe all three in the past as well.

Isn't that kind of statement the better for at least some form of quote? :)

Can't be worse than the Dr's recent form, asking black children if they have any shoplifting to be doing or insisting that black teachers must be involved only in physical education.

Like Father Ted - 'I hear you're a racist now Dr?'

The first one is harder to justify but not Toberman quality racism and would of worked with a white girl. It was the Doctors (a thiefs) perception of/dismissal of a youth. The Mr Pink thing repeatedly made clear it was because he was a soldier, perhaps they should of cast only whites in these roles to avoid this?
 
Bit sick of that crying teacher soldier. Worse than that peppy wide eyed Cbeebies girl.
Didn't massively enjoy the train ep. I liked Skinner though, Would like a bit more of him. Capalidi is still good, we just need some decent stories and less of he young girls and all their sexy relationship thoughts. DOCTOR WHO SHOULD BE SEXLESS.
