Sea Devils And Die: GeroniMoffat's Doctor Who In The 2010s

Listened to that Matt Smith interview. No spoilers, natch, but he did say that "something is very wrong with Amy Pond", which I'd guess is related to last season's finale and the whole "time can be rewritten, people can't" thing.

Is she going to be a god/time lord as well? ffs.

i still haven't quite got over Rory just staying in the Centurion clothes for 200 years or however long it was

More believable than 90% of Rusty's stuff tbh.

She'll never karate kick a Myrrka again. ;_;

Centurion clothes were durable Nestene plastic, hard-wearing and resilient

Trivia Fans: In the BBC America version of the finale, they edit out the bit in the Pandoricum video where Rory/The Roman Soldier is seen pulling the Pandicorum out of the exploding warehouse during The Blitz.

good!

Bum: Nicholas Courtney has died (the Brigadier)
Was hoping he'd get a better return than the half-arsed Sarah Jane appearance

This makes me terribly sad, but his "comeback" in Battlefield was pretty awesome. RIP, Brigadier.

Aw man, r.i.p.

"You were supposed to die in bed!"

RIP

Godspeed, Greyhound 1.

Seeing posts near the beginning of thread about Mat smith as ugly-hot. I can't get over facial similarity to Frankie Stein (from Whoopee British comic) though mixed with something a lot better looking.

Sad to hear there's still another 2 months before Dr Who returns. Is it split into 2 6 week series this year?

Did I miss anything in only getting one of the Guardian Dr Who audio discs? Will I ever listen to the one I got?

Apparently it's unfinished - the commercial release, when it comes, will be smith and gillan. But gillan's not recorded her bits yet, so the freebie version just has some stand-in actress reading her parts. Which, to be fair, might make it better anyway.

BOOM

:( rip brigadier

The Brigadier was always my favourite foil for the Doctor.

me too

I can't read any more about Nick, it's too upsetting.

Genuinely a chap with wings now.

this is making me tear up a little

RIP Brigadier

Love that pic aldo.

I will bring out the old S/N in his honour one more time

AROOO, this is great

POTUS seemed to slip into Reagan caricature there momentarily. Also, the "monster in the White House" bit is a good lol.

Looked like good old president Bill "Ike" Nixclinton.

if it's set in present-times, there's another timeline crunch for aldo to annotate (though last series' reset button gives them a bunch of leeway)

OR DOES IT, HMM?

I am only going to lurk this year btw. Until I explode in a fit of pique.

Moffatt did do a bunch of in-story handwaving to waft away the remaining aroma of Rusty's continuity excesses, with which he'd been lumbered. (Though he doesn't seem overly arsed about sticking firmly to a new chronology in the wake of that.)

Maybe you and AA can have an irrationally angry about Dr Who thread to vent in?

From the side, I thought it was President Logan from 24 at first.

Would very much like a separate Doctor Who IA thread, tbh (not to participate in, just to read)

xp not watching it this year, staying out of thread &c.

Reel to reel tape recorder suggests nixon era, as does voice (kinda), nose.

I've forgotten everything I suppose I'm supposed to remember from the last series.

yeah, am sure it's meant to be Nixon if any real or real-world-analogue PUSA

I've forgotten everything I suppose I'm supposed to remember from the last series.

Hooray, the rewriting of time and the cracks have worked!

I figured Logan in 24 was based on Nixon as well, so I wasn't far off.

I think we need a new thread for the new series...

VETO

(Spoiler alert/warning)Oh snap.

He's denied it already btw.

it's actually "The Doctor's Sister-Wife"

It's "The Doctor's Wilf", about the fan theory regarding Bernard Cribbins' character, whose name was an anagram of TIMELORD WTF.

Also, this title has form. JNT used it more than once to try and pin leaks down to a specific individual.

please let's not spoiler here

First story set in 1969, so Nixon

Would like to see Ice Warriors again, since a baddies race that actually aren't baddies is more interesting, and they kind of muffed the Silurians comeback by giving it to a dud writer

though it was really obvious it was Nixon from the clip tbh!

Any Ice Warriors story on a TV budget is going to fall short against The Dying Days.
