/who/ Doctor Who General

I was about to type how maybe having just 13/Yaz will be a good thing because Chibnall will now be forced to 1 - give Yaz a personality and 2 - make the characters interact instead of just dart exposition at each other, since there'll be just two mouths now.
But honestly I don't doubt Yaz will have the same number of lines and Chib just sticks a new supporting character every new episode to interact with 13

It's crazy how one pretty girl can make a bunch of virgin nerds this obsessed

i can imagine that as a time traveler you would eventually give up trying to keep in touch with whatever the currently acceptable fashion trends are on all the different planets and eras you go to. must be exhausting. just dress like steve urkel and fuck whatever anyone else thinks

go be fat somewhere else

>implying barely different waviness counts as a new hairstyle
this is already factually correct and will even more be when she'll outnumber Clala
COPE.

Are you projecting your virginity onto me? It's not about looks, I'd use fucking Leslie Jones as the example if she had more variation than Yaz.

kek, okay user. At least Clara had a personality by her 20th episode.

Yas totally has a personality, she tried to kill herself once. That counts right?

Mandip has said in an interview she's excited to get more lines, and that they'll explore her character more. I seem to remember this was said prior to S12, and the result was that clunky bit of shit in the "Can You Hear Me?" episode and that was it. It's mad that she's had 20+ episodes and is still less of a character than Dodo who had like 5 stories.

>moving the goalposts
>implying you like Clala for her personality
your surrender is accepted

We already had
>straightforward shipping with Rose
>unrequited love with Martha
>constant denial of any shipping with Donna for comedic effect
>11 grooming Amy without realizing it then rectifying the mistake
>the awkward recurring character shipping with River
>whatever you'd call the Clara labyrinth
>the "she's gay and he's depressed so don't bother" thing with Bill
>the f a m contrivance with Graham and Ryan
So is the Chibnall going to make the Yaz shipping shit like one of these, how will he do it?

>"We started to see Yaz with her mental health storyline last series, and started to see Yaz a little bit more," she said. "So that can sort of be explored a little bit further – there's room now to explore that. It never probably felt like the right time to do it before. So I'm looking forward to it."

>started to see Yaz a little bit more
17+ episodes into her run.

>it never probably felt like the right time to do it before
fuck.

In hindsight, they should've just done S11-12 with Bradley and Tosin, and then brought Mandip in to replace them both.

>different waviness
kek. You can do better than that, user. You're the one moving goalposts. Clara had several different hairstyles. Yaz has... erm, tied it back a few times and done those space buns... and... er? No, that seems to be about it too.

I think we've had a white male showrunner for long enough, chibnall should quit and they should give it to someone more appropriate

>in walks Meven Stoffat, a man who looks slightly like Steven Moffat but he's blackfaced and has a dodgy Indian accent

>The only time Chibcucks can ever win a argument is when we're talking about which companion has the most hairstyles
I hope S13 can throw these guys a bone.

I'm not obsessed and autistic enough to make a montage like your cute little one to prove you wrong user. if you want me to declare you're the more waifu-obsessed, I give in.
here's a reward for your collection.

At least the only way S13 can go is up, there's no way it can be worse than the abortion that was S12.
R...right?

james cameron still has to pay harlan ellison's estate for The Terminator TO THIS DAY and yet terry nation doesn't see a penny

worst science fiction scandal since The Truman Show got away with blatantly ripping off a philip k. dick story

images with bicycles

I'm sure going to miss dialogue like this when Whatsit and Graham leave

>YASMIN: Pretty confused.
>RYAN: Proper confused.
>GRAHAM: I'm way beyond confused.

You... you think he made that montage now? Hew new are you?

>implying we started the debate on this
everyone has his weaknesses. sometimes we take one bait in the ocean of MUH CHIBNALL BAD.

>The Ghost Monument, from the POV of Yasmin Khan.

YASMIN: Hi. I can smell burning.
YASMIN: Where's Ryan and Graham?
YASMIN: I'm on a spaceship. Okay.
YASMIN: We're about to die?
YASMIN: What's actually happening?
YASMIN: What?
YASMIN: You can be honest with me. Are we going to die?
YASMIN: Got it.
YASMIN: Doctor, these stabiliser handles don't feel very stable.
YASMIN: We thought you were dead.
YASMIN: Pretty confused.
YASMIN: Mist what?
YASMIN: Yeah, like the one on Surrey Street. Only the one in town's green. This doesn't make any sense.
YASMIN: I've got a couple of questions.
YASMIN: Definitely? If we get there, you can get us off this planet alive?
YASMIN: She saved Karl. She got the better of Tim Shaw. And she did jump a crane. Don't know what would've happened if she hadn't have been there.
YASMIN: We're all going to the same place, and that boat is big enough for all of us.
YASMIN: You're Albarian, he said?
YASMIN: Since what?
YASMIN: I know.
YASMIN: Sorry, did you say your mum did this to you?
YASMIN: So you left your family to do this?
YASMIN: You're making me miss my family. That's quite some achievement, considering my dad drives me bananas and my sister's trying to get me to move out so she can have my bedroom. And I only saw them yesterday.
YASMIN: Oh, my God, Doctor!
YASMIN: Got anything there, Doctor?
YASMIN: You know we're completely surrounded?
YASMIN: What exactly did you just do?
YASMIN: See? Second nature now.
YASMIN: Always.
YASMIN: There's another room next door. We'll take a look?
YASMIN: Ryan, have you seen this? Surveillance footage.
YASMIN: Doctor! I found you! The SniperBots are on their way down after us.

YASMIN: Why have we stopped?
YASMIN: What's up there?
YASMIN: That doesn't sound good.
YASMIN: That's some smell.
YASMIN: But where's your ship? Where's the Ghost Monument?
YASMIN: Yeah. We've got each other.
YASMIN: Nope.
YASMIN: Can you hear that noise?
YASMIN: At the same time?
YASMIN: Wow.
YASMIN: You can't engineer dimensions.
YASMIN: I thought you didn't believe yourself for a second back there.
YASMIN: You can get us there? Really?

>moffat gets (rightfully) accused of making his companion a lame cardboard cutout
>half a series later, he corrects course so drastically that he maybe even goes too far
>chibnall gets (rightfully) accused of making his companions lame cardboard cutouts
>two series have passed and we're still here

>The Tsusgruna Conundrum from the POV of Yaz

YASMIN: Which one's this?
YASMIN: What's he found?
YASMIN: What is it?
YASMIN: We don't have medtags.
YASMIN: Blimey. Yes, you are.
YASMIN: Last week?
YASMIN: Like the Red Cross.
YASMIN: What even is it?
YASMIN: Like a posh version of my uniform camera.
YASMIN: I don't fancy its chances.
YASMIN: Well, at least that's something.
YASMIN: Hi. We're going to need you to...
YASMIN: Wow.
YASMIN: You know it's a boy?
YASMIN: Not where we come from.
YASMIN: No, he really couldn't do that.
YASMIN: That's what you're going to do?
YASMIN: Where do you think it is right now?
YASMIN: Oh. I did a bit on anti-matter at school. Never quite understood it.
YASMIN: Like at CERN? We did that in physics. No, but the thing at CERN is massive.
YASMIN: So how does it work?
YASMIN: I get it. It won't be good.
YASMIN: It's close.
YASMIN: Ah!
YASMIN: Shh.
YASMIN: I'll get it as far away from the drive as I can.
YASMIN: Siobhan Chamberlain with the goal kick for England! Boom!
YASMIN: It was here. I got rid of it. But it'll be coming back.
YASMIN: Yes!
YASMIN: Bingo.
YASMIN: Oh, every day right now, mate.
YASMIN: 51.
YASMIN: What was the number for?
YASMIN: What? I would've gone higher!
YASMIN: I'm really trusting you on this bomb, but I don't know what you're doing.
YASMIN: A very large piece of cheese about to explode and take us all with it.
YASMIN: And dead. Doctor...
YASMIN: It ate it!
YASMIN: What happened?
YASMIN: Have you got a name for the baby?

In some ironic way this is very Classic Who.

Chibnall has given me exactly what I said I wanted, and I hate it.

I'm gunna miss natural conversations desu.

>YASMIN and RYAN stop dead in their tracks in the middle of the episode.
>YASMIN: When was the last time you saw your dad?
>RYAN: A year ago. Didn't go well. Got angry with him.
>YASMIN: Why?
>RYAN: He ducked out when I needed him. He's like a... a gap in my life. Even at Nan's funeral...
>YASMIN: Do you mind me asking? How did your mum die?
>RYAN: Washing up in the kitchen. Massive heart attack. Just... just out on the floor.
>YASMIN: God. Who found her?
>RYAN: Me.
>YASMIN: How old were you?
>RYAN: 13.
>YASMIN: Ryan, I'm so sorry. I never knew.
>RYAN: I never knew life threw that sort of stuff at you. I never knew that when it does, sometimes adults don't cope either.
>YASMIN: Your dad.

the Moffat version of lame cardboard was worst. it was lame cardboard painted with flashy colors and signed Picasso.
and later he just replaced Picasso with Shakespeare but it was still lame cardboard.

even Trakenite Nyssa had more realistic and comfy dialogue than Yaz does

Terry Nation made a fortune from the Daleks. Derrick Sherwin got shafted.

now you've realised you can just leave with him and accept his sho was never proper DW

Attached: King_Moffat.jpg (3000x1834, 2.22M)

not really, at least s7b didn't pretend that clara was anything more than just very ordinary
it's the shit about yaz and ryan and graham when character constantly talk about how strong and brave they are and you don't really ever see it happen
i'd rather take nothing over nothing that's pretending to be something

Ray Cusick got shafted x10000

Terry Nation is unironically the world's greatest hack. By most accounts the creation of the Daleks was a group effort based off his general idea that he then managed to take ownership of. Fair play desu
