Members Vee Posted October 21, 2015 Members Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) I think the two-parter structure of this series has steadily improved as it's gone along, but The Girl Who Waited is definitely up there as Capaldi and Coleman's very best work. Just incredible and I have no idea where it's going next with the second half. I also like that they have not abandoned the ongoing subplot - of Clara becoming the Doctor's ultimate Doctor-like companion, and withdrawing more and more from her own life into their shared existence. As joyous as their re-affirmation of life was at the end of the Christmas special, it also felt a lot to me like Clara refusing to deal with her loss and a normal life. This series, so far, still shows me her cruising for a rough end. Edited October 21, 2015 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted October 21, 2015 Members Share Posted October 21, 2015 Just as well, since BBC-A cuts into them for ads, and even sometimes screws with the frame speed to fill their allotted timeslot. Unacceptable! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted October 26, 2015 Members Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Bob Baker appears to once again be attempting a K9 solo project - this time a movie. David Tennant and Catherine Tate are reprising the Tenth Doctor and Donna in Big Finish audio dramas next year. Their new adventures - along with those of Kate Stewart, the War Doctor, and River Song, among others - are previewed here.

Members DRW50 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Members Share Posted October 26, 2015 I guess those must be selling well for Titan if they're expanding. Paul McGann is such a gorgeous man. So what did you think of Maisie Williams? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted October 28, 2015 Members Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Apparently Moffat and Capaldi's returns hadn't been made official? I'm seeing negative reaction in recent material even from fans who have been obsessed with the show forever. Meanwhile, I still don't know who or what that damn bride from the cliffhanger of season 2 is. Edited October 28, 2015 by YRBB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted October 28, 2015 Members Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) There's always violently negative and positive reaction. I think it's been pretty decent so far, but it has yet to really wow me like Series 8. That's likely part of the function of the 2-parters this year. The upcoming Zygon story is supposed to be very good. They tend to not officially announce anyone at DW until the current series is complete, but I believe there was an intv the other day where Moffat mentioned he is already working on next year. Which appears to be what your link suggests as well... Edited October 28, 2015 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted November 23, 2015 Members Share Posted November 23, 2015 I knew Jenna was leaving this season but I didn't know it would be this episode. As Clara was saying her goodbye, I kept expecting a last minute save which shows just how low the stakes are for me and this show. Nothing feels like it matters anymore. I couldn't have cared less about Clara's death. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ~bl~ Posted November 24, 2015 Members Share Posted November 24, 2015 I wonder if part of why you felt that way marceline is how many times character have "died" on Doctor Who, but not really? Did you just not care about Clara or is it show fatigue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted November 24, 2015 Members Share Posted November 24, 2015 I think it's both. I feel like Clara's end should've come at the Christmas special. At the same time, one of the issues inherent with time travel as a plot device is the possibility that anything that happens can be undone. It's gotten harder and harder for me to invest in any character but it's especially hard for to invest in Clara because she's gone from being Oswin to the Impossible Girl (which they don't even mention at her death scene?) to this attempted bootleg Doctor. I don't hate Clara the way a lot of people do but I've rarely been able to invest in her. Not with the Doctor(s) or with Danny. In fact, the only times I've ever really liked Clara has been when she's interacted with her students. But if I'm honest I have to say that something about this season just isn't working for me. I love Capaldi something about this season just feels off. Like I'm waiting for something to happen that will make this all cohesive and real. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted November 30, 2015 Members Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Peter Jackson announces he is directing an episode of DW next year. (We think. Probably.) Have not seen the Capaldi one-hander but I hear it's great. Edited November 30, 2015 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
