Maybe I was a bit too optimistic

Summoned me?

Chibnall is so fucking boring to talk about.
There's nothing interesting to praise or critique, it's the blandest, most formulaic, design-by-committee shit ever.

If this board wasn't anonymous I'd probably get shit for Moff-hate but the fact is Moffat is interesting to talk about it. When he's bad, he's interestingly bad. When I think he's bad, I'm usually frustrated and annoyed because he had potential to be great - you can see the seed of great ideas underneath the cringey shit. I'm sure RTD critics would say the same. RTD and Moff both had vision, imagination, creativity - a unique artistic voice and style. You can dig under the surface to discuss and critique the narrative structures they employ, the characterisation and development of the Doctor and his companions, the themes they're interested in and how well they deliver on them.

What the fuck is Chibnall's vision except tickbox diversity? What themes is he interested in other than "heroic woman is always right and good because I wrote people saying she was"? In what way can you even call the companions characters at all? They're just props for Whitaker to expound at.

I'd take a dozen burning generals, a dozen RTD vs Moff showrunner wars, a dozen screeching autists declaring yet another thread dead because someone disagreed with them over a single fucking post wasting time and breath and energy on that talentless, mediocre, tedious, fat-faced hack.

>you wee tin kettle
proof jamie pissed in a quark?

Is the Weetinkettle connected to the big huge kettle we see Jeffreys' soul trapped in?

is Weetinkettle another Time Lord like Thurevva and Dewtea Ohcare?

Yes

Were they scared of making episodes with only 3 parts in the 60s?
Or was it that they had to reach a quota.
This story has the occassional based moment like , But the rest of it is just people sitting in a room talking about random fucking bullshit. This story would heavily benefit from trimming it to 3 parts

This is what bugs me too. I got angry with Moffat for his fuckups, I got angry at RTD for sometimes playing it too safe, but it's only because there was always great potential and they proved he can sometimes deliver on it. I haven't seen all of Chibnall yet, but going by the episodes he's written that I've seen, I'm already scared that I just won't have anything to talk about because of how bland it seems.

What about "Jeydgivtooryde"?

also the political message in this episode is pretty blatant and lazy, the villains are literally called "the dominators" and all they do is invade planets and enslave them. Not that I disagree with the notion, but the whole episode is just BRO COLONISERS BAD

I think its just because we talk about it so much, we've covered essentially all the points we could cover with chib, its been a few years since we were knees deep in moffat discussion so that seems fresher somehow

If they'd done fewer 6 parters, they'd have had way more comfier 4 parters, RIP

History is a whitewash sweaty

Bloomin lovely

if you believe Sherwin, he cut it down to 5 episodes because he knew even then that it was too fucking long.
>Originally a six-part story, The Dominators was edited at the script stage down to five episodes by script editor Derrick Sherwin.

I'm so sorry user

13 Zig Forums Road is where the Doctor Who General lives and it's home to things WAY beyond your imagination. There's an extraterrestrial Graske in the yacht, an autistically-engineered Croat GENIUS in the binge, a companion 'investigator' across the page, and a whole universe of adventure right here on the OP.

>Ready?

ALWAYS.

Oh no

tfw Dominators even cursed Troughton himself

>Patrick Troughton requested a showing of The Dominators at his birthday party shortly before his death in March 1987.

Imagine being Ben Horne and owning half of Twin Peaks

Like I think russel and moffat wrote a LOT of shit bit even there worst episodes are more intresting to watch and rewatch
RTD rewatches are very fun and so is moffats too
But I just can't bring myself to rewatch Jodie episodes
I considered rewatching the Tesla one as I really like that one but even the episodes I liked don't feel worth rewatching

kek did he like the story then? Fuck knows why

>This serial was originally composed of six episodes, but it was deemed too short of content and reduced to five at the last minute. Producer Peter Bryant ordered Haisman and Lincoln to abandon writing the sixth episode and script editor Derrick Sherwin rewrote the fifth episode to provide a conclusion. Haisman and Lincoln were not informed of this, or of the BBC's merchandising of the Quarks, which led to their refusal to write for the series again.
big loss bros
>Subsequently, an additional episode had to be penned for the following The Mind Robber, also making that story five parts.

GAH

already mentioned this but love how in the future we'll all be wearing dresses apparently. sO AHEAD OF ITS TIME

I think it's possibly more to do with the fact that in the 1980s, very few Troughton stories existed in their entirety. The Dominators happened to be one such case.

Wwwwweelll...

Based tennant noises poster

Wait I thought mind robbers was 4 parts?

Maybe he just wanted people to leave him alone

So many gays on the thread
No one rated based Jodie boobs

It was, but when they cut Dominators down, they had an episode slot left to fill, so they wrote the cheap Episode 1 of Mind Robber (which is bizarre kino, and what a fucking result!)
