DVD uses standard basic bitch tv release date. Shada wasn't considered an official story until about a decade ago when it was finally finished. Trial of the Time Lord as four stories on the DVD reflects general consistency especially in relations to Key to Time being six stories.

The only season where fans prefer production order to broadcast order is season twenty five and that is due to how episode order got scrambled and created minor continuity errors.

And the Target novelizations never were published in chronological order because of rights issues (they adopted stories depending on which ones they could get the rights to at any time).

That part in the robocop remake:

I was browsing the body horror thread and was introduced to this clip from the Robocop remake, which, if this scene is anything to go by, I shouldn't have dismissed.

What's relevant to this thread is that I very, very much wish that Doctor Who was clever enough to explore the Cybermen like this. There's too much emphasis on the surgery horror of end-stage Cybermen grabbing average joes and chopping 'em up; why not instead explore why it was that the Mondasians threw their humanity away? Maybe it wasn't the trauma of the upgrade process, but the trauma of seeing what they became afterwards that made their ultimate psychological dehumanization "preferable."
 
One of the more frustrating elements of Torchwood's Cyberwoman is that a half-upgraded Cyberman is an interesting concept with legs but that episode is so stupid I doubt any writer will ever approach the idea again.

"What if Cyberman but tits?" Isn't high concept enough for you?

Okay, when I asked about the numbering its because when I make digital backups, I like to organize them as "Story ### - Title" but for some reason more recent DVD releases have been not including the story numberings, and in cases where I have to import an episode from the UK those are usually not numbered at all.

In fairness the recent DVDs that don't openly state the story number are usually reconstructed Hartnell or Troughton stories and those I can just look up on Wikipedia (post-Shada is when there's a serious divergence). I was mainly just hoping there was just some book I could get so that I don't have to constantly look up old label art any time I'm not sure what I should label a file.

Surprised that such a simple question got such confusing answers where people had to talk about novelizations or broadcast order or all these other things that had nothing to do with my actual purpose.
 
Alright, so RTD just doesn't know how to do finales. This is probably the wokest and worst episode of the season with the homophobia bad narrative, the cripples, retards, troons, and outcasts see the world for how it really is narrative, and the heterosexuality bad narrative. There's also a visual swipe at JK Rowling who has more talent in her left pinkie than anyone who's ever worked on Doctor Who throughout its entire sixty year run by having the bad guy who created this world read a book that looks like Harry Potter.

The bit with the cripple bitches in the wheelchairs doing espionage was funny but it definitely wasn't supposed to be.

Also it's all a sequel to The Three Doctors, which is one of the worst and most overrated damn episodes of the entire run. Omega is a dogshit villain and the only reason anyone remembers that episode fondly is because they watched it as a child and were excited to see two Doctors interact. The only good multi Doctor story in the entire run is Day of the Doctor literally every other one is God awful.

And isn't the Rani a biologist? Why is she doing reality science? I know she did it in the shitty soap opera crossover charity special but the BBC quite literally declared that non canon last week.

Ncuti was the only saving grace of this god awful episode and he's a fucking nigger. Also speaking of Ncuti, I ended up pre ordering the Barbie because I do like him as the Doctor and I'm hoping they'll do the rest of the Doctors someday. Any other Doctor Who collection is either incomplete (Character Building) or abysmal dogshit (Character Options). Also apparently these dolls are retailing for the equivalent of $100 in the UK which is fucking insane because that's twice what they are in a country that hasn't given a shit about the show since Matt Smith left.

doctor who writers are such funny creatures where homophobia is both something that needs multiple entire episodes dedicated to its decrying despite mainstream acceptance of gays being a non-issue since 2015 but also that the show needs to spend its time extoling the virtues of importing millions of people who are homphobes

I think it's less a virtue signalling thing and more the hypocrisy of a certain character. I didn't notice it until I rewatched the episode.

A man complimenting another man? Nope. A woman complimenting another woman? "Sexy". That's how Conrad thinks.

EDIT:
Trailer for the finale is up.

So uh....just to double check if the amused shittalking and shitposting I have seen elsewhere is legit, a couple episodes ago they introduced some "angry former fan" caricature who was lectured for an episode about how disgusting and worthless he is for not liking currentnow Doctor Who and not wanting to pay the benevolent and deserving BBC his loiscence fee to keep it going, and they subsequently brought him back for this latest episode in which he was given god powers to forcibly turn the world into some 1950s bigut dystopia where women are perfect docile housewives, gays are banned and cripples are being holocausted or something. Is that round about what the jist of things is or has hyperbole tainted the water supply?

"What if X was Y, but with blood/sex" was basically the writing formula for Torchwood.

Dr. Who but horny sex pests.
In the first episode, there's that super pheromone spray that one guy uses to pick up chicks at the bar (and even has an implied MMF)
There's the other episode with the alien that runs on "Orgasmic energy" and kills people during climax.
The aforementioned, cyberman, but with tits
Jack flirting with everyone and everything (even turning the boyfriend of the cybertits woman gay I think?)
I'm sure i'm missing stuff, it's been many years since I've watched it.

Also unpopular opinion maybe, but Miracle day wasn't that bad (although I did binge it when I was sick with a fever)

There are at least 10 Torchwood episodes worse than Miracle Day, and Miracle Day had Ernie Hudson and Lonestar from Spaceballs playing a pedophile. I don't understand why it's so disliked in comparison to the rest of the show.
 
Why is it even called "Miracle Day" anyway?

Basically now I'm wondering if I could maybe skip the first two seasons of Torchwood and just watch the two miniseries, or if I'd be missing too much. I'm not sure how much BBC writing I want to sit through... even that era's Doctor Who I tend to only enjoy either when I'm feeling sick or when a nostalgia mood hits me.
 
Reddit and other places are speculating that the doctor will regenerate into billie pipper at the end of the finale, if that happens I will laugh my ass off.
>uses nostalgia baiting
>kills any intrest in the show
>brings up lore ruining additions to the show
>has gatwa only stay for two seasons
>disney deal gets fucked up near the end
>ends the season with a bizzare stunt casting
>leaves the next showrunner to clean up the mess
