man today was the 1st post apparently i had done on here since December 2017. it wasn't meant to be that long either, so thanks for not deleting my account. here's what did happen in June of last year my PC broke down and in July i had to get a new PC. i prefer PC compared to laptops cause i hate the keyboards on laptops plus i find PC lasts longer than laptops. i had my last one 9 years before it went to poopie. anyways, so i had completely forgotten about the website than out of the blue for some reason today i remembered it i dunno why but i did and what's even more shocking i remembered what my screen name was that never happens to me and the password was correct too shocking ain't it? anyways
did anyone hear that Waris Husen or however you spell his name i have no idea? had a Q&A this past weekend and on stage with him he had on stage with him a canister of Fury of the deep Episode 2. i don't think that was talked about cause people have been talking about it non stop since than. is it empty is it one returned? etc... honestly i have no idea but i hope it's one that has been found but just not announced yet. that'd be great to have another one from a serial that longer exists sadly. well until Phillip Morris makes his announcement whenever that shall be or whatever year it will be as well. as for the New year's episode i loved it i really did.
not just cause it was a Daleke's story but because the writing was better than the season was. there really only were 2 or 3 episodes out of that whole season i enjoyed but i do applaud them for giving us new monsters. the scripts though were rather weak though at least i think so anyways

I don't mind Jodie AS The Doctor, but she STILL doesn't feel like she's in full-on "Doctor Mode" yet. She still seems like a little kid who doesn't quite get who she is or where she is. She's not take-charge enough. I'm hoping it's the writing and I'm not being prejudiced against my own gender. I mean, I've seen kick-ass women characters before. Though, I wouldn't want her to be one of those "I am Woman Hear Me Roar" types, just a little more, you know, "Yeah, I'm a gillion years old, I know what I'm doing" types. The story is kind of blah so far, though The Master being back might make it get more interesting. (What happened to Missy in the Capaldi eps? I don't even remember. Did she die? Holy sh*t, I really don't remember, it was that uneventful). Edit: I just forgot, 'cause it's been so long - oh yeah, Missy and Prime Minister version of The Master basically killed each other. Still don't really care about the companions. They're not fleshed out enough. They're just kind of there. This show needs a good kick. Bring back Jack, dammit!

Yeah, so ----- so far the Chibnall years are light on continuity. Was this incarnation of The Master pre-Missy or post-Missy? Why would he/she still have that attitude? Did things go sour between Missy and The Doctor before she "died"? (Again, I don't remember). I thought she was getting a personality shift and that's why she killed her own past self. And how did he come back to BEGIN with after that, if it was post-Missy? I guess, another regeneration, but... Then he's just sitting around for years as that "O" guy? I really don't know. And did I miss something AGAIN?? How did The Master get away from the soldiers on the Eiffel Tower? I kind of zone out when watching this, I guess. It still doesn't feel like typical Doctor Who. It's more like - flimsy story, The Doctor just talks fast and points her screwdriver and figures things out, and convenient things happen so she doesn't die, and nothing's really explained satisfactorily (I know that was done in the past to some degree, and there are a lot of past seasons with some crap episodes, too). It's just...I don't...I...

So, they bring back Capt. Jack and they don't even have him interact with The Doctor? Just more of a ratings grab there, I guess. Not really a story. I guess they're going somewhere with it, but, it's not being done very well.

Sydney Newman must be rolling over in his grave with what has happen to Doctor Who (minus the Female Doctor as he wanted one in the 1980's*) *Frances de la Tour was one of them (watch Vicious its funny)

Okay, so "Gallifrey Falls No More", yeah, just screw that whole meeting of every other past Doctor thing completely. In fact, screw everything ever done in every past incarnation and season and group of writers and every actor who has ever played The Doctor. You know what, just screw everything.

You know what, just screw everything. i almost think they will at one point retcon whole mess (since this is a big time plot hole that you can drive a Mack truck through*) *see Tiny Toon Adventures, Buster and Babs Go Hawaiian for that joke

I was just watching some Doctor Who and Torchwood videos on YouTube, so I thought of this thread.
Um...just what did other "Time Lords" do exactly? Why the title Time Lords? The Doctor was always by him/herself (unless she met with The Master). Yeah, he was the last of his kind (until he wasn't) because he caused the end of Gallifrey (until he didn't - though, now it seems something's up with that whole thing again, possibly), but ---- they were "TIME" Lords, right? Wouldn't SOME of them have been traveling through time at some point - in time? Couldn't he have met up with a few during their time travels, BEFORE they were "no more"? (before in their timelines, not his). I didn't watch a lot of the original run, just the newer eps, so maybe this was covered more in older ones? They were Time Lords who never ventured beyond their own time? What were all those other TARDIS's for? Wouldn't there be Time Lords all over the flippin' universe in every timeline?
And Jack was part of a TIME AGENCY. And The Doctor knew nothing of this OTHER group of people who traveled through time? Where the frig are they? Don't see them doing any timey-wimey things (except Capt. John Hart/Spike). I've never listened to the audio episodes so I don't know if more of Jack's past was covered, but... I don't know, it just seems they come up with cool concepts to have interesting dialogue, then just never address anything for real to explain it all.

With The Doctor there was always an element of It's just a show you should really just relax to it. They had something about locked timelines where time travelers couldn't go. That's why the Doctor couldn't go back in time to tell themselves what was going to happen so they could avoid stuff. Maybe the time lords are locked out of each others timelines unless they are in the same "base" time. I always looked at Doctor Who as more of a parable than as science fiction anyway.

Christopher Eccleston is going to be voicing #9 again. Not in the televised series, but in the audio series "Big Finish" or whatever it's called.

Capt. Jack will be back. In the Christmas special, whenever it's airing.
Edit: I guess "holiday" special would be the better term. It's airing Jan. 1st.

Another episode of a lot of nothing. When will the writers learn that just a bunch of Daleks saying, "EXTERMINATE!", does not a story make? Some actual writing has to go along with it, ya know? John Barrowman was wasted here. And how convenient he just off-screens an elaborate and time consuming scheme to get to the prison that the Doc just happens to be in. The writers are just getting lazy with how they get their characters from one situation to the next. I know it was always kind of a Deus ex Machina kind of show, but, jeez. I don't even remember what the hell happened in the last episode, I just think we saw The Doctor looking over a laid-to-waste Gallifrey. And then this ep just opens with her in prison. She was talking kind of fast and said she was in prison "for being me". Did they actually give an explanation? Did I miss it? And I still hate the fact that they are taking the whole Gallifreyan/Time Lord identity away from her/him and all of the past incarnations. And are we supposed to be sad that the two guys (hell, I don't remember their names, even - Graham was one, I think Edit: Ryan was the other one, heh, sorry Tosin!) are not continuing their journey with The Doctor? They barely were characters. The companions were not fully fleshed out in this incarnation, but then, neither was The Doctor. Jodie STILL doesn't feel like The Doctor. She's just kind of there. Again, nothing to do with Jodie's acting. It's all the writing, or lack thereof. She just talks fast and comes to conclusions based on --- I don't know? Hunches? It just all pops into her head whenever she needs to solve anything. And it's not really solving anything. They just jump around from one situation to the next "however". Edit: I guess they always kind of did that? ?? Pretty much sucked. Edit: They're getting another companion to keep Yaz company this upcoming season. His name will be Dan and he's played by John Bishop. (Don't know if anyone cares about this spoiler, as it was announced, but just in case people don't want to know until it airs).

Chibnall and Jodie Whitaker will be leaving after 2022. Maybe they could just make this whole iteration of The Doctor that it was a TV show the actual Doctor was watching about his/their? life that stupid writers got wrong, heh-heh. Nope, none of this actually happened.
This is cool, though.

That Flux thing was more of a lot of nothing. So, there's more of The Doctor's past she doesn't remember -- regarding those two creatures, whatever, whoever they are. More of the past that seems like nothing to do with past incarnations of The Doctor.
Just The Doctor talking fast and going on random tangents is not a "story", wish they'd cut that out.
I can't stand stories where the villains just want to "end the universe" or "end time itself", or whatever, for no damn good reason that anyone can fathom. Um, do they not know that they, too, are part of the universe? What satisfaction do they get by ending everyone and everything -- including themselves. They won't be around to enjoy their handiwork. So stupid.

So basically - The Doctor LOST --- to a Dalek. It was just blind luck that she was in a time loop and got several do-overs. Ugh.
