I thought it was a solid enough episode, still didn't explain why the Tardis was playing war time music though.

Maybe the Cloister Bells were broken? This is the 2nd episode of a trilogy. Maybe we will get "Mavity" explained.

He's generally known as highly professional and has worked on some fairly disturbing films with Danny Boyle among others, so it's not likely the subject matter disturbed him. It was also a high paying job, so to quit after one season indicates he was probably absolutely disgusted by RTD's degeneracy, even then before it had fully flowered and his pozzed nature ran rampant.

It wasn't degeneracy but RTD being a piece of shit human being to the crew that did all of the hard work behind the scenes making series one, as far as treating the rank and file types like garbage that was the reason why CE hated Davies. Especially after Davies is said to have told CE to fuck off after he pulled him aside and told him he was acting like an asshole to said behind the scenes staffers

Sounds like the kind of elitist faggot who pretends to be a friend of the people while treating any actual people he encounters who don't have the clout to backtalk him like complete shit.

Those are the worst kind of capitalists.

The worst sci-fi show in the Universe continues to suck dick. I'd rather watch Lexx or fucking Sea Quest. It's just embarrassing, troon pandering, race swapping, awful CGI and dog shit dialogue. No one is going to watch this shit, in fact no one has watched this shit in years.

I would watch "The Twin Dilemma" before I would watch nu-Who.
I would watch "Time and the Rani" before I would watch nu-nu-who.

Anybody else see "The Five-ish Doctors Reboot"? That was a perfect reboot.

Apparently there's a rumour that the next episode will feature "zombie" versions of Eleven and Twelve who torment The Doctor and Donna. That place they're at? It's a fucked up TARDIS.

Massive grain of salt and all that.

Does sound interesting as hell though.

That’s pretty much what he is. Chris moreorless said, I think he might have even straight up said in fact, that the reason he stayed to the end of the 1st Series was for the fans and the people that worked on the show.

If not for not wanting to disappoint fans and screw over staff I think he would have left sooner.

And that’s probably why he was so tight lipped about stuff for the longest time as well.

RTD is a total cunt with an ego the size of a planet whereas Eccleston is sound. He ended up in hospital (sectioned, I think) in 2016 probably in no small part due to the stress involved in dealing with the gay Welshman.

He won multiple awards for his one season when he was the first Doctor in ages, and RTD was such an absolute cunt he just had to quit rather than deal with that fucking cunt any more.

Getting a proper actor as the 9th Doctor and introducing the Time War were two of his few good decisions. Eccleston was pretty much perfect for the role at the time, he brought proper gravitas and you genuinely believed that he was a battle-scarred alien, but he still managed to channel enough of the previous eight Doctors to convince older fans he was the same man. We didn't get enough of him, but what we did get especially in "Dalek" and "The Doctor Dances" is up there with the very best the show has produced.

The Time War meant that he could do a soft reboot and avoid bombarding the audience with all the tedious stupid fucking Time Lord lore that had built up in the original run. That said, the show is still yet to top the scene of Timothy Dalton as Rassilon addressing the High Council at the end of part one of The End of Time.

Is there a general consensus as to whether bringing back Gallifrey properly and introducing new Timelords for the Doctor to deal with? It's not as if it's lacking for antagonists as is, but it's always felt like, besides the Master, something was missing. You also lose a bit of the Doctor being a rebel when the thing he's rebelling against is written out.

they tried during hell bent to address it but that was, you know, hell bent.
the one thing I'll give chibbnall is at least even if galifray was destroyed shit like the division at least implies other rouge time lords are out there, him destroying gallifrey was shit mostly bc it was like, returning the place was such a big deal and then not even two incarnations later they just nuke it again.
