Keep them dead. The Time Lords are all fags and any Gallifrey based story not named The Deadly Assassin sucked ass. The Doctor's not even Galifreyan. The Doctor's new backstory is he is from the planet Faggatron and fell through the Giant Space Anus.
No. It was RTD doing nothing while John Barrowman was running around the set with his cock out and draping it across people's shoulders. Shut your fucking whore mouth, you have no idea what you're talking about on any subject and I'm tired of your made up bullshit.
They actually did sentient Tardises in the books and it was pretty cool.
That reminds me. Moffat retconing the Dr’s action in the Time War and have him not kill everyone was the worst thing second only to the Timeless Child.
You don’t tear down one of your own that has been a mouthpiece and a vehicle for you since before you were even woke. It’s why they went after Barrowman and not RTD.
I liked Day of the Doctor and how it resolved the whole thing if I'm being honest. No matter how long it takes, the Doctor will find a way, that's one of the things at the core of the character. What Moffat did afterwards with Gallifrey was far more shit, literally set everything up for some kind of final showdown between the Doctor and Rassilon only to send him (Rassilon the Redeemer!!! The Resurrected!!!) away on some fucking shuttle within 20 minutes, leaving us with the rest of the episode being the Doctor simping after muh Clara.
worst of all, it was The Master on his own that did it. There is no way against the entire might of the timelords he of all people would be capable of it. Which is why the event was handwaved away in regards to how. Even Chibbs was not dumb enough to think there was an answer that made sense.
If they were going to fix it that’s the best way it could have been done admittedly.
Oh absolutely but the person always has to do a no no. RTD has not yet.
Do you have any feel as to whether it's the Doctors themselves or something to do with the production or scripts or tone? I'm curious because I can't really see a clear break between Four and earlier and Five in that sense. If anything Five was more of a return to Two's era imo after the zaniness of Fours (very long) reign.
My favorite Doctor is Pertwee followed by Baker, (kind of hard to get into the first two quite to the same degree because the reconstructions are less watchable IMO). Pertwee is kind of the Quatermass Doctor, whereas Baker is the Hammer Horror Doctor, both of which I'm fans of.
Hmmm. For me, Troughton, Colin Baker and Matt Smith. Though I've nothing bad to say about Pertwee. He was great. Tom Baker had some of the best stories and his pairing with Romana (both of them) was superb. They played off each other brilliantly ("I rather like Fred"). But despite having some defining moments for the character I ultimately preferred the calmer manner of Troughton, Pertwee or Davidson. Matter of taste a little. I suspect when I was younger Tom Baker would have been the most entertaining to me. And Colin Baker, well he had to soldier through some terrible dross but on the Big Finish audios he's fantastic and you get to see what he could have / should have been. Even on TV though, I have a soft spot for him.
On paper I should like Baker more, but I pretty quickly picked up on his smugness as an actor before even reading about it, and sometimes I just can't stand him.
I find that the animations harm Troughton in particular, because so much of his performance is physical and through facial expressions.
Tom, not Colin I presume?
Yes. As I said, I've never watched past the fourth doctor in the classic era.
Oh, I thought you said you didn't like past the Fourth era. Not that there were Doctors you hadn't actually seen. Well, Colin Baker is good and I quite like his Doctor. A sort of fusion between First (for the barking impatience) and maybe Two for the penchant for slightly wearily explaining things to everybody. No wonder I like him.
