Doctor Who Series 8

[Spanky Longhorn]

I thought it was brilliant, the best special yet.

Did anyone else think that it was also setting things up for the Doctor to be less of a grumpy twat in the next series? It seemed like it at the end.

I think Helen Back further up thread made a good point as well, this story could explain the Robin Hood and giant forest episodes quite nicely. But that would mean Danny didn't die, which could mean he would come back; which would be very bad...

I think crap writing explains those episodes better tbh.

That christmas special was good, but there was some truly awful bits of dialogue. Much of Santa and the elves' witty banter fell flat. As usual with doctor who, the attentions of a script editor could have made all the difference.

I do too, but we can dream

The place the Doctor awoke looked a lot like the dream/suggestion/whatever he had used to con Clara after Danny died. Remember the best scene of that entire two-parter. Perhaps the truth is that anything interesting or well written is a dream or scam of some kind and that is why the Doctors' such a grumpy fuck.

apparently coleman was leaving- as aged clara- but signed on for another season cos she's loving it so they shot the *final* awakening

It felt like it should have ended with older Clara. I was a bit surprised when it didn't, tbh. I am interested to see what they do with her now she doesn't have 11 to fawn over, now that she's not the impossible girl, and now that she isn't defined by her love for Danny. Perhaps we'll have a series with some good old fashioned rollicking adventures?

That was one 'and it was all a dream' too many IMO. Not that I particularly wanted Clara to go, but the scene with old lady Clara was rather good and would have provided a nice end point for the character.

Moffat and RT having a row in the pages of DWM lol

Poor old Martha.

Poor old Martha.

her complete excision from the 50th celebrations was also way weird. Unless she had requested it to be so or the beeb had blocked her....wtf man. I know she wasn't rated much as a companion but wtf

Never thought about it, but you're right.

Though there were lots of companions not included.

plenty of old Who people not present but iirc every other new who companion was accounted for

That's certainly the impression Ecclescake manages to give.

When I think of some of the great episodes ignored it hurts that they had used a sound clip from fucking Fear Her.

Yesterday, I got a big seal of rassilon tatooed on my right shoulder blade. 85 notes, but it looks badboy

yesterday:

 

[SpookyFrank]

Mind you don't sleep on your back for a few weeks. I did that with a tattoo in the same spot and I lost half the ink to my pillow

free touch up in three weeks, praise be. Sore as fuck though

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

That's pretty epic. When the talk came up of what i would want as a tattoo i would end up thiking either something loike the seal of rassilon or perhaps the NERV logop. although when i wore my NERV t-shirt people that i was a Christian tru faith proclaim to the world kinda guy because it has the last lines of pippa passes on it. I never felt like telling them the in show meaning.

I'd have the Star Trek badge.

My jumper.

 

[Impossible Girl]

This last season of DW left me with a feeling of incompleteness, I don't know why. It felt like the Doctor and Clara weren't on the same wavelength anymore

I'd have the Star Trek badge.

This one is missing in my credentials

 

[Pseudopsycho]

I'd have the Star Trek badge.

My mate has a star trek badge with a stylised spiderman spider over the top of it

That's not right. Not right at all.



There's an app that turns your smartphoneboast into a Star Trek communicator, apparently.

 

[Pseudopsycho]

It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world out there, Danny.
