Continuing the audio convo, I just finished the 2nd ep in the Gallifrey Series 1. I liked it, especially the use of time as a plot device (as a series set in Gallifrey should). The differences in Leela's and Romana's worldviews should provide good conflict.
Also, anyone else listen to Starborn? I liked it.

Next on my list though is Ringpullworld. I liked Turlough in Loups-Garoux (which I listened to last) and Huxley in Find and Replace (which I listened to before that) and this has both, so should be great.

I've been thinking: what if the Doctor crashed his TARDIS on a planet, and had to hag out there for a few episodes. This planet looks completely different in different places (Arctic tundra vs Middle Eastern market vs the Himalayas), so the episodes could take place on different parts of one planet. But it'd be cool if a group of people the Doctor helps in one ep has effects on a group he meets two eps later two towns down. What does /dwg/ think?

Hi /doctorwho/, tell me your Doctor Who discovery experiences. How did you find the show, and how did you get into it?
Here's my story: I saw the Doctor Dances at a friend's house. I was 9 years old, and didn't follow up on the show.
A year later I was in a different friend's house and we were flicking channels. I came across the title sequence and remembered Doctor Who as being that cool show I saw before. So 10 year old me saw Tooth and Claw and loved it.
From that point on I was hooked. I got the first two series boxsets for Christmas 2006 and bought action figures and monster books and the like.
I was aware of the classic series because my parents had watched it, and the books explained it all to me. I was young and wanted more Doctor Who, so over the next couple of years, alongside watching the new show, I bought some classic DVDs.
A friend of mine (who I watched Doctor Dances with) bought some classic DVDs too, and we'd watch them at each others houses. We were only 11 and 12, free from snobbery or desire for high production values, and we loved the old stuff. Those old stories are a part of my Doctor Who memories. I have memories of sitting on my friend's floor and watching Blink for the first time, and just as fond memories of sitting there watching the Sontaran Experiment.
As I've gotten older, my love for the show has only grown, I've worked my way through the rest of the Classics, and still watch them with my friend occasionally. It's like being a kid again.

Any Australian over the age of 30 could most likely identify with this but a huge part of growing up in the late 80's and into the 90s in Aus was watching the ABC on weekday afternoons for the cartoons n shit. Captain Planet, Widget, Tintin, Rugrats and the Pommy shorts like Bananaman and Superted (all ad-free btw). The Goodies was a staple in my house at 6pm, Dr. Who reruns were always at 6:30. I'd often catch an episode here and there if I was watching tv (alone, my mother would vacate after the Goodies and didn't like Who at all).
I was never an avid viewer but I recall mostly Baker episodes (Tom) and being genuinely scared at the monsters, the musical "sting" at the cliffhanger and the threat that ended with each episode was terrifying to my young self.
Not until the movie aired and the hype around it drew me really into the Doctor and I taped it and would rewatch it often.
Forgot about the Doctor until the reboot in 05, I think I watched a few eps but never really stuck with it. Only in the last year or so I've rekindled my passion for Who, got around to seeing all of the first Four Doctors runs and still getting through the last of the classic series.
I don't like nuWho but I've stuck by Capaldi this season and look forward to some better and consistent writing for him in the coming seasons.

I love how in every JNT serial where the Master comes back the Doctor is like "I thought you were done for last time" and he's just like "lolnope". No further explanation. I'm serious, I actually like it. After all, the Doctor doesn't tell the Master the details of all his exploits, why should the Master do the same? It gives me this sense like the Master has his own show that we don't get to see but it regularly does crossovers with Doctor Who. So if we were watching Master Who we'd get to see how Kamelion helps the Master escape from Xeriphas, but all we've got is Doctor Who so nope.

Too bad he will never, ever come back to Doctor Who not even for one special ever again.
Just a thought about what they said about Eccleston's Doctor being more working class. You could look at that as being a result of Gallifrey being destroyed. The previous Doctors (except arguably Hartnell) were all Time Lords and Time Lords are basically what they sound like, aristocrats whose domain is time. True, the Doctor was previously a renegade, an exile, a rebel, but he still had that noble heritage and he was even appointed Lord President once.
But in the new series the Time Lords and their entire society are gone, making the Doctor more like a homeless time bum than a Lord of Time. He continues to be a Time Lord in name, but the title has lost all prestige it once gave him.

I'm currently watching Genesis Of The Dalek for the 2nd time. (It was the first classic serial I watched). As someone who came in from nuWho, and doesn't necessarily have the nostalgia older fans do, it strikes me that the episode actualy isn't overrated. The Fourth Doctor and Harry struck me as a good team even when I first saw it, and the Keleds, who ultimately pour their racist ideology into the ultimate killing machines, were fun to watch even though I didn't realy have an appreciation for the history of it at the time. The moment where 4 accidentally steps on a landmine should be cheesy, and obviously 4's not going to be blown up 10 minutes into the show, but the music and the acting seels the moment. The way 4 tells Harry to step away ("no need for us both to die"), and how Harry refuses and actually argues with 4 to let the "imbecile" risk his life, is a really good display of their camarederie. What I'm trying to say is that this is a good episode, even without the game changer of Davros. Who has a good reveal scene–at first you think he's a robot. And then he speaks. Also, Elizabeth has a really expressive face.

Oddly enough, the very next story is the one where the Doctor gives his age as 450. So is the fucker considered human or not? Did traveling in time give him the power to live longer?

Just to let everyone know, there's a Secret Santa going on in /who/ right now. Please keep a tab open here, but feel free to check the Secret Santa out. There's no need to give out addresses, either.
Just a repost that /who/ Secret santa begins at 8pm american time (Or when ever really) on thursday.
How the fuck are we gonna do that without being compromised you ask? Well its pretty easy
Step 1: Set up an amazon account
Step 2: If you don't want people to know your full name go to My Account > Personalization > Your public Profile to change your name to something less tracky.
Step 3: Make a public wish list of stuff you want (Doesn't matter what it is tho personally I'm only buying who related stuff for you /who/res)
Step 4: You post your list with everybody elses
Step 5:???
Step 6: Profit!
Pretty fucking easy. Then you can decide to buy something for a fellow /who/ dweller, post your list and see if anybody bites, both or not do anything and shitpost about how fucking stupid and reddit it is or some shit.

LIVE, DAMN YOU.
So I just rewatched The Unquiet Dead, once with commentary and once without. And it's fantastic! I got hyped as soon as I heard that series one opening and remembered just how exciting it was when NuWho was actually something brand new. I'm not even a huge 9fag but the early series one episodes will always have a certain charm to them that they never would have had if they came later in the series just because this is Doctor Who totally redefining what it is. Of course this episode would still be pretty good even if it was a series 4 episode, as it remains the best written (read: only good) Gatiss episode.
I also love the fact that the episode aired in April but it takes place on Christmas Eve for really very little reason except to form a loose connection with A Christmas Carol. Why? Because fucking time travel that's why! Christmas can happen any time or never. The Doctor could have Christmas every day if he wanted (and in a later Christmas episode named for the very work referenced in this one, he does).
There's a lot of talk on the commentary about how the episode was supposed to be darker and more grim and scary but they had to tone it down because Doctor Who is a Saturday night family program. I think it's hard to say whether the darker version would have been better or worse and kind of depends on your point of view, but it's interesting to think about.
The only thing that annoys me in the episode is the whole "Gwyneth had been dead for five minutes even when she was manifestly not dead" thing. In the commentary Gatiss says something vague about this being related to the "science vs magic" theme of the episode but I'm not even sure what the implications are supposed to be. That Gwyneth was a ghost who kept inhabiting her body after she was dead? Isn't that the same as being not dead? How did the Doctor even draw the conclusion that she died? Like I say, all the evidence seemed to show that she wasn't dead. Whatever.
Anyway, it ultimately gets handwaved away by Dickens saying a line from Hamlet, "There are more things in Heaven and Earth than a dreamt of in you philosophies". It's interesting to note that the Doctor said this same thing in The Mark of the Rani after the tree saved Peri. And that was retarded too. Was it a deliberate callback? Probably not. But it's interesting, especially because the episodes take place a mere 40 years apart and both involve the Doctor meeting historical figures.
Oh yeah, I just remembered another thing that annoyed me. And this time it's a real nitpicky thing. It's the Doctor saying that Dickens's work will be remembered "forever". See, a theme that's been reiterated in Doctor Who many times, including the previous episode to this one, is that nothing lasts forever. I won't deny that people will still be reading Dickens for a long time, but saying "forever" just seems kind of disingenuous. Are people really going to care about A Tale of Two Cities 50 billion years from now? I sort of doubt it. I know this is a really, really minor thing, but I would have preferred if he had said "centuries" or even "thousands of years". I don't think the scene would have had less emotional impact.
This, of course, is something that Doctor Who will go on to do more times. While the classic series was content to let people be left blissfully unaware of their historical importance, the new series takes great pleasure in informing great artists that their work will be remembered in years to come, but it seems to get gradually pulled back. We go from "forever" with Dickens to 5 billion years with Agatha Christie to barely over a hundred years with Vincent Van Gogh. So maybe the writers started to agree with me.

Countless lives were in my hand, and I–no, they needed me to make a distraction. I did not enjoy it one bit. Not at all. But I had to do it.

No.6466
>>6464>>6465What I like about it is it focuses on the more emotional side of the horrors of people getting processed into cybermen against their will. It's back in the tennant days when things actually did have consequences (something that finally only came back this season). A big part of that is a sense of helplessness, where situations don't have an easy fix and might not have a fix at all (pete's jackie stayed as a cyberman). It's similar reasons why I like Impossible Planet/Satan Pit and Ghosts/Doomsday, they all have genuine complications that aren't easy to resolve, and often sacrifices had to be made for them.
After S2, cybermen were kind of reduced to 'oh no it's the cybermen', almost essentially like they were a less threatening version of daleks. It wasn't until Closing Time they started touching on the conversion stuff again, but even then the focus of that episode was more the doctor being all sad about him thinking he was going to die soon. NiS had some potential but it was ruined by the rushed plot, the cybermen were built up to be some big threatening enemy but what stopped them in the end was a little quick thing that didn't have any impact on the cast, which kind of trivialises them again.
What I liked about DiH was that it focused on the emotional side of how cybermen are actually people. We only saw it through danny pink, but holy shit was seeing him as a rotting corpse with frankenstein nails inside a robot suit effective. It's just so bleak, something doctor who rarely touches on and it was even more powerful because of it. There wasn't a happy side to it, danny was dead and a cyberman and he had to sacrifice himself to save the doctor, a man that he hated. I think DiH is a brilliant episode and probably the best finale in nuwho, but despite all the stuff about danny the cybermen weren't even really the focus so it's hard to call it the best cyberman story. I think for me at least, Rise/Steel is still the best nuwho cyberman story

>>6466The look of dead Danny was legitimately terrifying. In fact, the whole first graveyard sequence, with Clara looking frightened, was very well done.

>>6502>"CONTROL WANT BE LADYLIKE">that McCoy acting>Light's appearance (a guy who sort of glows) is frankly underwhelming after being built up for two episodes including the part 2 cliffhanger>I get the strong impression that Light is an idiot even though I don't think that's how the story wants us to view him. I could be wrong though. Like when the Doctor says there are gaps in his catalog and starts listing off fictional animals and he doesn't realize that the Doctor obviously hasn't read his catalog and is just making shit up. >the Doctor defeats Light by catching him in a philosophical loophole so that he has to put himself into stasis (I know the Seventh Doctor has a thing for talking enemies to death but this one just seems ridiculous. It confirms my suspicion that Light is just stupid.)Also I generally just got very little sense of denouement from the ending. Light's defeat was retarded and in the end when the other characters left on the spaceship I was just like "Wait, they're going to space? Oh, Okay. And they're still trying to complete the catalogue? Why? Eh, whatever. Wait, wasn't the ship programmed to explode? Oh, it's not going to explode if they take off. Wait, how do any of them know how to fly the ship? Wait, why is the caveman going with them? I thought he said his loyalty was to this planet. Eh, whatever." I don't know, it just seemed to come out of nowhere.
Also I'm having trouble seeing what Ace gained from the whole experience besides knowledge of the specific details of why the house creeped her our when she was 13. Maybe that was the point? But I thought she was supposed to learn a lesson or something. I guess not. The themes of the story doesn't really seem to have anything to do with Ace. So in the end I was just left with a sort of empty feeling. The first two episodes seemed to promise things that part 3 couldn't deliver.
