Don't put the fact that it died in the OP, now outsiders will see our general as weak.

t. cats

Capaldi is damaged goods of a failing brand
and Chinballs would be wise to distance from failing leads as much as possible hence clean start with new sexy famous leads
Agree/disagree?

Do it better next time then cats

We go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on

Seems the BBC are making a habit out of "animating" still images, first DW, now Sherlock

OK, so now when we have only one episode of Class left, I think it's time to marvel at the trainwreck a bit.

Shit, Patrick, what the fuck were you doing? It's always hard to write teenagers into an adventure show but nobody there belong anywhere. I can dig April, who could've been some sort of alien-empowered teen, Buffy-esque figure (I never seen Buffy), but she doesn't get to stab anyone later and be the center of attention. Ram could've been the normal guy boyfriend, but since April doesn't have anything to do, neither does he. Tanya is allegedly smart but has no knowledge to work with making her useless. Charlie is an alien, but he doesn't know shit either, so all he does is being buggered by a Pole and angst.

And there's Shadowkin which are most shitty, unimaginative and poorly designed thing I saw on TV in recent memories.

Is this the Shadow King?

...

Our general is pretty weak tbqh.

If s10 doesn't feature an episode where Dr Who plays the theme tune on the bagpipes then I'm dropping the show forever and taking a huge steaming crap on Moffat's mother's doorstep.

Can we discuss how badly Moffat fucked up with the 12th Doctor as a character?

I think he went in a good direction in series 8, he had no nonsense about him, he was almost edgy and I liked the change of tone.

Then in series 9 it's like they just tried to make him the 11th doctor in an old man's body and I think it fucking ruined 12 as a character.

I'm scared as to how they'll take him in series 10.

What do you think /who/?

>thinking of characters and stories as "brands"
This is the problem.

Go to bed Alan.

Who's Alan

As much as I hate to say this, you can't lay all the blame at Moffat's feet. As I understand it the BBC felt that edgy arsehole 12 was alienating a lot of the fans and so told him to lighten him up. At the end of the day I sort of agree with the decision to lighten him up even if the actual execution was pants. Edgy arsehole 12 would be fine if Dr Who were an adult show but it's not. Ultimately it's a kids' show and kids don't like grumpy old men.

>and kids don't like grumpy old men.

The BBC will stick the Doctor Who brand on any old shite. How is this in any way Who related? The worst part is that sad cunts will buy this tat.

>The worst part is that sad cunts will buy this tat.
I bet Cloister did.

>used, "In Great Condition"
>1 quid

Has this artist done these for all the Doctors or just the NuWho ones?

fuck off Gallifrey_Immigrant

Does the music stay horrible after season 24 or does it get at least less noticeable?

...

Touch a nerve did I, Cloister?

Has the artist done one of these for JNT?

...

Sometimes, not very often mind you but sometimes, I really love you /who/ (no homo)

/who/ loves you too m8
doctorwhogeneral.wikia.com/wiki/Paint_user

At least we have a general

I guess it's a matter of taste. It has been years since I watched anything from s24 so I don't recall the music. In s25/26 it does seem a little intrusive at times (but not as bad or as often as Marigold) but on the whole, personally I quite like it.
Keff McCulloch's version of the theme is my favorite after the Derbyshire and Derbyshire/Hodgson ones.

>Keff McCulloch's version of the theme is my favorite after the Derbyshire and Derbyshire/Hodgson ones.
Mah nigga.

*fistbump

I liked series 9 twelve but I felt him a bit over the top sometimes and I've felt him a bit tennant-ish in Class and in the Christmas trailer
I think for series 10 he will be even more of a meme doctor

So far, it's even worse than Marigold as they continuously play cheesy porn music over dialog. Then in the intense action scenes, it's drum machines and BAH BAH BAH synth

what is the best title sequence and why is it the 2nd Doctor's?

Couldn't agree more. 12 was a little too callous at times during series 8 and needed lightened up somewhat; but the intense and sarcastic characterisation suits Capaldi infintely better than the wacky rockstar we got in series 9.

The decision by Moffat and the BBC to rewrite the character was cowardly and has done fuck to improve ratings.

Based on his new companions (who look like they've stepped off a CBBC show) and the continued use of hoodies and sunglasses I'm not feeling optimistic about Moffat redeeming the character in series 10. Capaldi deserves better.

I like the McCoy one and not just because of the GOAT theme. I love the wink.

He was a "wacky rockstar" in one scene.

>Capaldi deserves better.
Big Finish

I actually found the original tank scene very funny, partly because it was so out of character. The whole point of that scene is that the Doctor was having some fun before his presumed death at the hand of Davros. But then the guitar playing, sunglasses and zany dialogue (e.g. Dr. Basil Disco Funkenstein) were also in the rest of the series for some reason. The Zygon story was the worst.

So we can finally admit that the golden age never happened and that capaldi is being late JNT'd by Moffat?

The one and only

I already have one without the DW branding. It would be redundant. Don't hate on my disposable income and my love of useless plastic shit.

#BagpipesForSeries10

What is this series about?
Hard mode: spoil it.

There's not enough bagpipping in the world period. I'd be for this. Also mite b cool to see Capaldi in a kilt and tam o shatner.

>Capaldi in a kilt and tam o shatner.

That would be GOAT.

SHEEP more appropriately.

what are you listening to /who/???????????

Does anybody know what 3 second rift in closing themes are called?

Totally agree
>suddenly becomes a hugger
>was great as edgy Dr now reverted back to One-Liner Dr
>Oh Clara my Clara. I am cucked for you Clara

Oh yeah and dont forget Moffat throwing Tennant fans a bone as well
>revert 12 back to 10 and now he is once again the Supreme Doctor. No rules apply to him

I once had a dream that Michelle Gomez was a teacher in my school and that I was in love with her. So if Missy is in the Class finale I'm a fucking prophet.

Having only heard 2 songs by lil B i can confidently say he peaked with "Caillou"
>not the head mistress
Why?

youtu.be/jjwasdw9Kb0

Same. I always wink when he does.

I have no clue what you're talking about.

Please listen to these themes and indicate when this rift occurs.

Did any of the showrunners say why they removed the "figure8" from the ending theme?

I think there's a DVD commentary where RTD said BBC wanted the credits to be shorter so they had to cut it.

"middle8"

sorry

Nice gif Oppy.

>How do you'd save Quill from Class and transfer her to Dr Who?
Quill kills Nardole and Bill.

What is Danny Pink up to in heaven at the moment?

He is dead. Exactly where he should be.

>Quill kills Nardole and Bill.
I don't understand the negative reaction for Nardole at all

>muh matt lucas ruined everything

I like series 8 but series 9 was a fucking disaster. Minus the finale.

I'm gonna take the fight to the Tardis Wikia over their non-coverage of Faction Paradox. Wish me luck /who/lords.

Tardis wikia is triggered by FP and Vienna.

Also this artist in an insuffarable cunt

Well... I abandoned the TV series because it was a load of old wank. But at least I had Big Finish, I told myself. Now they're going down the tubes, too. What will I do now?

Go outside?

I did yesterday and I am currently sunburnt up to fuck.

Any other suggestions?

Read the books and comics.

Grandfather watch you, Spirits maintain you

Nice quads

>Read the books
They're pretty bad, too.

sounds like you just don't like Doctor Who in any incarnation, probably should buck up and get a real hobby outside of a British sci fi sitcom

I like the classic series and the audio up until 2015. That's not an insignificant portion of the franchise.

...

as much as I hate all the le sunglasses wacky guitar tank schlock, I still much prefer it to a cynical doctor who doesn't seem to care about anybody and makes fat jokes about his closest friend

>tfw just this once you made everyone join your general with success and you can finally sleep in peace

What fat jokes?

>he hasn't watched series 8 yet
Go watch it now, it's fucking almost GOAT.

12 does the thing where he'll say something like "you've gained weight" to Clara, completely oblivious to the fact that it's not proper etiquette to say that to a woman and she might get upset by it.
I love the moments like that, showing us that he really is an alien. You could picture 4 saying it in much the same way, or 6 saying it but he'd probably say it because he's being a dick

P
H
S

That's not the Doctor making fat jokes though.

I found it stupid. Yeah, he's an alien, but he's been around humans for hundreds of years. It only works if he was purposefully trying to be a dick, he wouldn't have just forgotten how to be tactful after regenerating.

>yfw his yo-yo is longer on the swing
>long enough to dip into the core of the moon

>insufferable cunt
Really? I've enjoyed his EDA reviews

Thanks, mate. If you know of any in- and out-of-universe crossovers between Faction Paradox and Doctor Who besides
>comics / audios / Adventuress, Sabbath Mammoth Culver
>Krisztina-Judit
>Faction Paradox in AHistory

but she clearly hasn't gained weight in any noticble way so it's even more stupid

well yeah, if you want to be pedantic technically it's moffat making fat jokes. they're not jokes in-universe

Not pedantic. Big difference between being accidentally and intentionally offensive.

>Grandfather Paradox was first mentioned as an escapee from Shada in Christmas on a Rational Planet
>The Cwejen started out as a VNA companion, then later reappear in Diogenes Damsel
Is this the sort of stuff you're looking for?

I don't remember any fat jokes. But I liked little comments like these:

Doctor: "Hi Clara! You like nice today! Have you had a wash?"
Clara: "Thanks....I think."

Doctor: "Are you alright back there? It's a bit narrow, isn't it?"
Clara: "Any remarks about my hips will not be appreciated.
Doctor: "Bah! You're hips are fine. You're built like a man."

Doctor: "How could I be her Dad when we both look the same age?"
Clara: "Erm, no...we don't."

...

Been out of the Doctor Who and /who/ loop for awhile I was in the Last Great Trip War

Is the general consensus that the Christmas special will be boring and suck?

Probably not boring but it does look shit

That's usually the case. I wish my father didn't like this show because I'll probably have to sit through it for that shit when I'm down for christmas.

Been feeling a bit Punk lately. I blame it on Capaldi's bad influence.
