I literally said in the previous thread not to make a new one until the /who/nger games was finished. The thread wasn't even at bump limit.

episode edition thread maker is a known cunt

If anyone knows the broadcast date for the Christmas Special, please share.

OP's a faggot. What's new?

Easter

...

...

Flatline is just another forgettable Moffat era episode

>tfw was going to use the new thread as the reveal of the winner

Nov 23 2063

>We'll keep this thread going til the game's over, next thread's header will be the winner of this game

Umpteenth for Foon!

Not as good as MotOE, but will always be remembered as unique for how good its visual gags were.

Well I'm sorry for trying to encourage discussion about Doctor Who in the Doctor Who general.
You can go back to shitposting about how Moffat's a sexist shit.

okay three posts moaning about it is enough, it's spilt milk at this point

t.stufu-moffat

Holy sh--

>implying I shitpost about Moffat being sexist when I'm a known Moffchad

...

I'm not talking to you Lymen. i didn't see the post you made before so sorry.

...

Everyone in this general is

Reminder that the Siege Mode TARDIS is an absolutely based design

It just kind of makes it a bitch to archive and is just an overall general inconvenience when it's spread over multiple threads.

Doctor Who is dead.

Flatline's more interesting visually than it is narratively t b q h w y ph

god is dead

>But I fail to see any difference between you and them.
They're influencing/ruining the show, I'm not.

The jokes aren't my main issue but they're evidence of the big one - pandering. As well as Missy and setting up for a female Doctor the worst effects of it have been how Clara has been used to utterly ruin the lore of the show and undermine the Doctor as a character and a hero. Moffat has literally written a young human woman be the "equal" of the ancient, immortal, uber-genius multiple universe-saving superhero that is the Doctor. Funny how this kind of "equal-footing" shit never happens with the male companions.

>Tens of thousands still isn't that many,
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY THERE ARE.

>Where did you get this from,
The timing - SJWs only became a real force in the last few years, the fact that only women were considered (for a male part), the first thing Jodie Whittaker talking about is her "feminism", Chibnall refusing to respond to questions and criticism and the enormous pressure from publications like the Guardian to have a women next.

True.

Although did anyone ever read Mathieson's cut material from the script that gave loads more characterisation to the old asshole guy and Rigsy?

No one cared the first time, chief.

...

Grenfell Capaldi and Crazed Jodi.

Of course. It had to be.

...

Damnit Laughing Ood. I believed in you. We came so far!

...

EXCITING TRIVIA QUESTION: How many tunnels were used for the tunnel in Flatline, and in which British countries where they?

"Encouraging discussion" is pointless when cuntanon always brings his shitty arguments cross thread

It's always going to devolve into arguments when he's around, and it's literally every thread now

Burn with me...

...

That makes a lot of sense, I've always thought their characters and the way Clala interacts with them were a little inexplicable

Is it OK to read Dead Romance with very minimal knowledge of Bernice Summerfield?
Only listened to the six adaptation so far.

Dead Romance works fairly well in a standalone sense, from what I remember.

>sjw's have only been a force for the last few years.

No not really, sad, bitter, people have always hated men or w/e for political reasons. The words "political lesbian" first came into use in the late 60's.

>Funny how this kind of "equal-footing" shit never happens with the male companions.

Who is Rory "you're making me into you" Williams?

>Chibnall refusing to respond to questions and criticism

Chinballs is a notoriously secretive showrunner, he did the same shit with broadchurch. The only prediction I'm willing to make on s11 rn is "the Doctor will wear an awful costume", because it is literally too early to tell, especially not using one word that was only used once in one interview.

I don't know what else to say, this simply shouldn't upset you so much.

There's only 40 people who use this general, at least it's something.

Did the Data Core remove all of the shown floors on the page for World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls?

A while back I remember an user saying that they deliberately posted contentious and divisive opinions that they didn't agree with because they wanted to use the responses in a debate they were having elsewhere.

I wonder if they're still at it?

...

I do that sometimes, but I've never done it here.

I should do it here

They did that on multiple occasions. I think it was the same guy who constantly posted the "my name is Donald" shit as well as the fake /who/nger games.

Yea

Thoughts on Listen?

SJWs are an internet phenomenon. Pandering to them has resulted in such classics as Ghostbusters (2016). Star Trek: Discovery and those female Thor and Iron Man comics that no one's buying.

Rory never did anything remotely comparable to the YASSSS QUEEN shit that Rose, Martha, Donna, Amy, Clara or even Bill did.

Chibnall could have handled the controversy a lot better. In fact could have said something, anything about to at least try to allay fears:

I don't like it when bullies get their own way
by radically altering long-running iconic characters and then continuing to complain that they aren't being pandered too enough.

You are worse than Melanon. Just give up.

Pure kino

I just realised something. I hate Doctor Who. It just doesn't excite me and I don't like most episodes. I watch it because of some autistic obsession.

>The SJWs are ruining all my favorite shows!
>Source: an 8 minute video of a man with no credentials rambling as though his video blog is a legitimate source of news and criticism

>chibnall is responsible for what past actors said

so you're a true fan then

Plenty more sources in this article. It'll take you a few hours to read but you're obviously keen.

I never said that. Although requesting that Jodie not say anything political in her interviews would have been tactful. Just to make it less blindingly obvious that her casting was a political decision as much as a creative one.

'Sjw' the term is new, the attitude behind it isn't. I gave you an example as to how, you didn't even consider that.

>Rory had no cool moments
Motherfucker what? Did you even watch season six? He's probably one of the coolest companions in Nu Who.

You claim to understand the phenomena you talk about, you claim that 'gotcha lines' are nu who only, and when I gave you an example from classic who you ignored it, you claim that sjws are only an Internet phenomenon, I could probably time travel to 1962 to show you a real life hippie and you'd probably find a way to make that fit your preexisting opinion. (You are a socialist, after all)

I'm genuinely done trying to talk to you, you're throwing such a tizzy about tumblr, and yet you argue exactly the way they do. It's not "the horseshoe in motion" it's just a sad little circular argument.

I've tried my best, you're clearly as smart as a brick and not half as reasonable.

You are literally ruining /who/ singlehandedly.

Been a while since I've really cared about Doctor Who, but this just brought it all back.

Cheers, mates.

STOP RESPONDING TO HIM YOU FUCKING IDIOTS

Ignore this baiter, please. He's clearly either trolling, or is not really ready for a dialogue with us, instead trying to push his talking points. Ignore him, and he'll go away.

There's nothing to consider because they were barely influencing media until the internet gave them a voice. Now creators gave into their insane demands so as not to be falsely labelled racist, sexist, homophobic. ableist etc.

>Rory had no cool moments
That's a strawman. Go back and read what I actually said.

I don't remember the context of the Robot line. Was he a misogynist or not? Context is important (SJWs often miss this point). And you're hardly going to argue that SJW dialogue in the classic series is comparable to nuwho, are you?

>you argue exactly the way they do. It's not "the horseshoe in motion" it's just a sad little circular argument.
>you're clearly as smart as a brick and not half as reasonable

Shame you never managed to demonstrate these points.

going to sleep

this thread better be fixed when I'm back

>Jack becomes the Face of Boe

you know it wont be

...

Where are these boardies you're mentioning. This thread is all /who/res yelling at memes. This general will never change.

>Was he a misogynist or not?
Kek, the lady was saying it to Sarah Jane

Rewatch 70's who if you unironically think sjws weren't behind that

muh ess Jay double(you)s

Finished my second story for shit trips, started planning a few more, one of which may be abandoned for time. Thinking about buying engines of war. What's /who/ with you?

Engines is pretty mediocre.

Is it? Rank it against the war doctor box sets for context pls.

...

3 1/2.

What's your stories about?

THE OTHER WHEN
THE VALEYARD WHEN
REEEEEEEEEE

The only War boxset I listened to was the second one. It was probably better than the book. However, when I read it I was used to Who books with actual effort put into them, so suddenly going to a quickly-churned-out BBC Books new series release was pretty jarring.
From what I remember it has some genuinely interesting ideas in there including stuff about the Skaro Degradations, I just kept hitting bumps where the writing quality would vary wildly from unusually poetic to totally uninspired. If you are interested in War you might as well read it, since we're not exactly going to be getting much else from him, just don't go in with great expectations (and desu I'd pirate it unless I REALLY wanted the physical). It does pretty much the bare minimum you'd expect of a War Doctor narrative.

I have surrendered to the awful prose in Transit.

I'm like halfway through the book, does anything important aside from the introduction of Kadiatu happen?

Because fuck me if I'm reading any more cyberpunk slang words or lengthy descriptions of silicon boobies. (Or cyberpunk slang words for alien boobies)

When Doctor Who can stop being fun again in favor of grim dark snoozefests.

never
nuwho needs to start making more of its own lore just so people will stop fapping over the valeyard

13 will have a throwaway line about how "I've got a drag act to take to a courtroom"

And two years later the Other will be mentioned the same way 'half human' was mentioned in hell bent

And chibnall probably didn't get the Other joke, he just let it pass.

Ever since listening to zagreus, I have lost my urge to want the valleyard to come back

Nah m8. Nuwho is dumb and makes jackass writers think they can angst over it for 10 seasons and expect us to give a fuck

Angst over what for 10 seasons?

Lore.

...

But he's from Star Trek, not Doctor Who

...

Shut up ecclestanon. We don't love you like we did in 2005!

...

...touché. I am checkmated.

Were the Time Lords forced to give the Doctor another regeneration, since he had 12 show up to help save Gallifrey?
