"This is a scale model of war. Every war ever fought right there in front of you. Because it's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know who's children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken! How many lives shattered! How much blood will spill until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning -- sit down and talk!"
Just remember that in every Class scene set in Coal Hill, Courtney Woods and Maive Arden are just round the corner...
Julian James
Bring back Disruptive Influence!

Julian Young
And they're unironically better characters than those in Class.
Jack Hughes
I think I like the Victorian era again. NEW VICTORIAN ERA EPISODE WHEN?
Parker Young
Haven't been on /who/ since the first 2 eps of class aired, did I miss anything good?
Also saw Power of the Daleks in theatre today, and it's really good. Not only the story, but the animation was fantastic, and I hope they decide to animate more soon.
Jaxson Campbell
what countries are showing it in theater?
Nolan Rivera
I'm from Australia and the nearest theatre is doing it. Seemed really odd to me when I found out, hard to imagine they'll get enough sales to make it worth it. Would've been great to see it though.
Julian Nguyen
I wish there was a war doctor season, where Doc doesn't give a shit about henociding entire species, using warship model tardis, rips time and space with vortexes and generally being a 'bad' guy, who's tired of all hte busshit in the world and is trying to clean some of it.
Austin Jackson
fuck i hate this girl. i quit watching who after they introduced her. even Rose was better.
Kayden Evans
>Maive Arden who
Robert Bennett
Yup, I'm from Australia. Seemed odd to me too, as I'm not in a big city, surely can't be worth it for the theatre. It was a this weekend event only, and whilst I can't speak for Saturday, there weren't that many people there today, maybe 15?
Still glad I went to go see it. They edited it into one long serial instead of 6 parts thankfully.
David Walker
Yeah I'm not even from the city, which makes it all the more strange. Maybe theatre people don't really understand about Doctor Who. It's possible they're just doing this because they remember the 50th Anniversary selling tickets, when in actual fact the majority of Doctor Who fans would not watch black and white episodes. I wish I had some friends that watch the show I could have gone with, I'm planning on buying the DVD when it's out though.
How did they handle the cliffhangers? Was there any sort of gap between episodes at all.
Luke Torres
Which one do you hate? The companion or the Zygon duplicate?
Grayson Myers
i wish.....
Lucas Harris
Yeah, I went to the same theatre for the 50th and it was packed. I just went by myself, and I will be buying the DVD.
There was no gap, the cliffhangers were just very dramatic points, and it was just one long smooth video. Although I could tell roughly where the cliffhangers would have been (I usually play 'predict the cliffhanger' when I watch), you couldn't tell at all that it had been edited, they did a great job.
It also had a ~10 minute bit after the credits on the making of the story with Anneke, Robert Shearman, Nick Briggs, Toby Hadoke, some others, and the animation team, which I assume will be on the DVD too
Kevin Phillips

Mason Wood
You haven't watched since she was introduced, but you hate her.
Bet you're starting to miss Torchwood right about now eh?
Elijah Kelly
Never watched that shit.
Austin Wilson
At least watch Children of Earth, (it's v.very good).
Christian Parker
Yeah, seeing Capaldman, albeit briefly, made me realize how long the wait has been.
Cooper Martinez
>not wanting to be her insole
Lucas Scott
So what happened to the guys who animated Reign of Terror and the Moonbase? Those guys did some decent animation. Not complaining about Power though. It'll be nice to watch a version that doesn't require me to stare at awkwardly shot production photos.
Jace Ross
why does the show depict Time-paradoxes as bad? They seem pretty cool.
Luke Morgan
Time paradoxes cause contradictions.
For example: you decide to go back in time to save someone's life. If you save that person's life, then there will have been no reason for you to travel back to save them in the first place.
Angel Harris
Sounds to me like it's just part of the course. don't pretend reality isn't contradicting itself all the goddamn time.
Xavier Price
So it's been confirmed that Moffat wrote all the good bits from the Doctor's Wife and Gaiman is just taking credit, explaining why Nightmare in Silver is so shit, right?
David Scott
Nightmare In Silver sucked because Gaiman's an overrated hack.
Lincoln Reyes
Okay, Larry.
Brayden Garcia
I don't really share the notion that NiS sucked 100% Although it was definitely weak.
The biggest problem with it (Aside from plot being solvable in a few moments but not being) was that attempt to make Cybermen more scary was too rational. Army of robots marching to scoop my brains out is scary as fuck, but the level of consciousness that can appreciate this fear is conscious enough to not be afraid of fiction.
Ethan Cox
Explaining why TDW is good: Moffat rewrote it all.
Jeremiah Gutierrez
They weren't scary because they just zapped people out instead of killing them in a horror fashion.
Levi Scott
If the BBC wasn't all "muh scarring kids for life" then the Cybermen could be scary.
Eli Ortiz
I think the best way to make the Cybermen scary would be to go back to the whole "they're like us" thing. Like in a Black Mirror way, have people placed into a situation where they want to be converted into Cybermen, because they prefer to have the Cyber-Controller guide their lives than face the horror of living on their own.
Gabriel Hall
Think about why Spare Parts is so memorable. The Doctor is forced to witness as the Mondasians must choose between becoming Cybermen or dying in the barren cold. Like Genesis, except neither option the Doctor's given is good.
Parker Torres
Forest girl
Jeremiah Wright

Levi Gray
American Gods and Neverwhere were pretty damned good. Even the televised version of Neverwhere was pretty damned watchable. I've not read any of Moffat's books so no opinion on his prose. I rather enjoyed TDW and aside from the shitty acting of the children I don't think that NiS was that bad. It's not a fear me or sleep no more. Smith was great in it anyway.
Wyatt Clark
Matt was great in everything ;_;
Juan Reyes
Moff wrote books?
James Nguyen
That I've seen at least I concur. No idea. Though I typed it as a slight criticism him being less prolific than gaiman.
Matthew Lewis
What are some good books written by Doctor Who writers?
Isaac Ramirez
do showrunners count?
Mason Nelson
Yes.
Juan Butler
you should read The March of the Innocents by John Wiles
Easton Roberts
Oh my God, I-I know who you are, I'm so happy right now :')
Dominic Myers

Tyler Robinson
Hi foot fetish user!!
Noah Cruz
He's only a DW spin-off writer at the mo, but enjoyed and can highly recommend PNess' Chaos Walking Trilogy.
Jose Gonzalez
I thought that the trilogy was pretty good too, but the pacing is unbelievably awful.
Jaxon White
I had no problem with the pacing of the books. But, thinking about it, reading a book is entirely different to watching a film/ TV show.
For example, I thought eps 4/5 of Class were very disjointed as a viewing experience. Didn't enjoy them as much as eps 2 and 3.
Colton Lee
/lit/ genuinly loves Philip Purser-Hallard's Devices-Trilogy, and for good reason.
Jason Gray
Matt Smith was the one single factor that redeemed the mess otherwise known as Doctor Who series 7.
Brody Lee
Par for the course, not part of the
Austin Jones
sorry, English isn't my first language.

Been binge watching pic related.
It's a blatant rip-off of Doctor Who, but it's ok as a substitute till Christmas.
Anthony Cook
I love the Librarians desu senpaitachi. They've even referenced DW as well as stolen one of nuWho's best writers, that's Gareth if you didn't know
Wyatt Bell
Gotta say, it's good fun. But roll on Christmas.
Christian Sanchez
>Gareth >one of nuWho's best writers Really now
Nolan Hall
Yes, then hopefully just another short wait for series 10.
Speaking of Christmas. Any interest in secret santa this year? I hadn't seen it mentioned and it's getting to be that time of year. No big deal to me either way
Justin James
I was baiting, but now that you mention it, I genuinely enjoy The Lodger.
Jordan Howard
Funnily enough, I genuinely enjoyed The Caretaker.
Noah Howard
You know, so did I particularly that scene. I like the nods to classic rock throughout P.Caps tenure in general. Also Courtney despite everyone's dread was kinda charming. Looking back knowing what we know now of Gareth's views, The doctor's seemingly accidental quasi-racist dismissal of Danny Pink is very funny.
Colton Carter
Don't you think he looks tired?
Grayson Jenkins
Settle a bet /who/. Is this Rigsy from flatline/raven?
Reminder Peter Capaldi has a female stalker who believes she is married to him.
Oliver Fisher
Yep, the woman at the start says "Joivan"
Luis Ross
>quasi-racist dismissal of Danny Pink
I can honestly say I didn't see it that way. During series 8, the newly regenerated Doctor was still in denial that he'd actually been a soldier in an earlier incarnation himself. And was simply anti- soldiers.
Andrew Rivera
Only one? Tennant probably has hundreds (not joking).
Gavin Harris
Wouldn't be so sure. Remember, Coal Hill has a very high mortality rate. :^)
Angel Lopez

But user, he was already the Master.
Cooper Lee
No that was the master disguised as obama
Lincoln Brown
It's 14 November here in The Hague!!
>Not congratulations Paul McGann on his 57th birthday!!!
Kayden Reyes
Reminded of that alternate universe where the movie was a hit, and Paul McGann's been the Doctor on TV for over 20 years.
Isaac Ward
You mean the universe where fox didn't have a hand in it?
Jaxson Miller
No, Obama literally turned into the Master onscreen, remember?
Juan Campbell
Ya because the master had taken his place and hid him obviously and it's not like the doctor hasn't recycled faces he had seen in the past
Julian Nguyen
We all love things for being VNA dark, but what do you consider the bleakest Doctor Who story?
Jason Long
>Ya because the master had taken his place and hid him obviously
Jose Cooper
the myth makers. mission to the unknown. the daleks' master plan. the massacre
Owen Gutierrez
Holy shit Revelation of the Daleks is GOAT. The best Dalek story by far since Troughton. Genesis is great but it's not really the same kind of atmosphere. How the fuck did Saward manage to do something so right? How did the music manage to actually be great during a clear decline in the radio workshop's efforts?
