I am very close to finishing Jodie Whittakers run as the doctor. But I believe I have found the worst episode in all of new who. I just finished S13's Legend of the Seadevils, and wow. The story was...ok I guess. I might have expected this episode to fall somewhere in the middle of her run, but it's second to last. The sea devils are uninteresting, there are several times where characters are one place and move to another without explanation of how. I.e. The Doctor and friends are on a ship at sea, bit transport directly to the ship in the sky with no explanation. The action scenes are trying to be thrilling, but are just a cut of a sea devil swinging it's sword and the camera panning to the doctor bent back, like she dodged it, but the sword is just a slight blue flash. Was the budget nonexistent for this episode? I'm scared to watch her finale.

Okay so, I've been rewatching all of the new who AGAIN. Well, in Season 7 Episode 7 "The Belles of Saint John", we see a little girl come down the stairs towards Clara. It's near the middle of the episode. It then cuts to a book which shows that exact same girl on the cover. The book is literally written by AMY POND HERSELF! Or Amy Williams as she seemed to settle on but STILL!

Me and my wife finally we finished this puzzle after one month, but, we are missing two pieces, any recommendations?

Just finished "death in heaven" and I feel pretty lost on how The Master returns, under the new regeneration she tells The Doctor that when he saved Gallifrey she was brought along with it, but that hardly makes any sense, unless I'm remembering incorrectly The Master kind of exploded previously, even still she was lying about Gallifrey being where it was, so if magically she appeared on the planet how did she return to the main universe, but nobody else did. Another thing is its heavily implied she has access to a TARDIS of her own, but that huge nugget of information is just glossed over? Please tell me im a fool and I missed important details because important things like this being unexplained really hindered my enjoyment of an otherwise good two parter.

I've watched dr who 5-ish times now, all within a few weeks, and for some reason I still want to keep watching it again and again. I really love the show. What's annoying is that I get bored easily, but there is nothing else I want to watch/do. I'm trying to think of something to do while watching that would make me more interested. I've already considered taking notes/making lists, but I would need to narrow down what to focus on for that. I'd also like to maybe get some other activity ideas. I'm not looking for things to do with the tv in the background, I already have enough of those. Also I enjoy writing fiction. That could possibly be relevant.

In my first watch of nuwho I never quite computed this, I was like okay weird alien show not gonna question it but on my rewatch. Especially with end of time, I’m trying to understand what abilities do gallifreyans inherently have? And which ones are just the doctor? Here’s what I have so far

1- Regeneration 2- Telepathy 3- Ability to differentiate familiar molecular structures by taste and/or smell (the doctor identifies things by licking them or can tell where they are by smelling?the environment) 4- Time relativity and perception - I’m unclear about this one, the doctor says they can see all of time happening at once? But then they can’t see their own future or events that involve them? That’s the perception part. Relativity in the sense that like in heaven sent they made a model of how the doctor comes up with ideas in a split second like he can draw up a plan and reason with himself like he has more time. But that seems like it’s not something that happens naturally? For example 9 needed the turbines to be slow to cross them but then for the last one he didn’t? 5-Energy/radiation reconversion/absorption - 10 had many such scenes where he would get hit by an electric blast of sorts and he could absorb or send it back. And then with the MRI when he took in the radiation in Smith and Jones. (Which also makes me question why River sat in the chair in his stead in silence of the library/forest of the dead) 6-Also smelling? Other time lords. Which I don’t quite get because we know that sometimes there’s two different time periods of the doctor on earth at the same time but he doesn’t sniff out himself/themself and 13 wasn’t able to sniff out the fugitive doctor. Or was the Master and Ten sniffing each other out some weird them thing? 7- Durability - the doctor gets poisoned, has one of his hearts stop, shot, plenty of times and just gallifreyans surviving the time wars in general. Getting shot by a dalek seems like one of the few things that can get him and whatever sort of gun >!River used!< 8- Above average strength? this one is also wishy washy to me because sometimes he’s getting thrown around like a rag doll and sometimes bending metal and physically overpowering much larger creatures like the sycorax and/or said to be more powerful

At some point I was writing (in Italian) a Fanfiction called "The Three Showrunners" in which RTD, Moffat and Chibnall were tasked to come up with the 60th anniversary special. It was supposed to be funny with inside jokes about people from the casting and BBC in general (such as Shearsmith wanting to kidnap Eccleston in order to shoot a spoof of Fantastic Voyage as an episode of Inside no.9), but the usual routine was RTD being the reasonable one, Chibnall being a stooge and Moffat being too short tempered against him.

The amazing part is two people actually read it lol

Did any one else notice that in season 4 episode 15 Planet of the Dead, on roof the civilians was called Angela Whittaker? Do you think her last name was a hint to Jodie Whittaker becoming the Doctor or a weird coincidence since there were two doctors before her?

I don't think 73 yards with Ruby was explained good enough. Like nothing in it makes any sense at all. everything just stays unexplained

Why did I make this?

I don't know I was bored one day and decided to do this fully lmao

For the German fans: The episodes with the Tenth Doctor will be repeated on TELE 5.

Four episodes every Monday (repeats on Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday), starting from today.

Today: New Earth, Tooth and Claw, School Reunion and The Girl in the Fireplace.

Is there a villain or just an alien called the Failinks (random spelling) either in classic who or new who because I know i've heard the name before I just don't know where?

Went on BBC iplayer to check some episodes, and now series 2 has gone, but runaway bride is in series 1. Is this just me or is there a problem?

I put this under discussion because I’m not sure what this comes under, but I’m making a Doctor Who Fanseries with my friends and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in watching it?

I was thinking of putting it on YouTube so people have access, but we are actually a group of teenagers so it’s not really going to be very good.

I’ve written the script myself and I do consider myself a pretty advanced writer for my age (a teenager) and I think the plot is pretty solid.

Also, can someone let me know if Fanseries is the right term for it?

I know this is a common thing with chibnal. But this is a good episode to display that. Just watched it and the ending was so... Nothing. Such a big idea. Almost season finale big but just treated like less than a normal episode.

Edit: "can you hear me" is the episode. Talking about god like creatures and some urban legend for it just to .. be nothing

I want one that is, preferably, all metal, but that’s not necessarily needed. What is needed is relatively high quality and that it has electronics. I can spend $140, but I would only like to spend $100, if possible. If quality has to be sacrificed a bit at all, I don't mind. I haven't watched Classic Who at all, so none of the screwdrivers past 9 interest me. Any except 13’s and 15’s, please. Thank you in advance to anyone that should help me!

I just started really getting into watching Doctor Who when I got accepted at a new job where I'm currently being trained. So, for the sake of time management, I've decided to just speedrun through the series. Don't worry about spoilers; I've been checking out Doctor Who vids on YouTube for years (so I'm vaguely familiar with the concepts and characters) and that's led me into watching most of Series 7b (all the "Impossible Girl" story arc episodes, including "The Day/Time of the Doctor") and then going back to "An Unearthly Child" and skipping ahead to "The Eleventh Hour"... I have decided to focus more on Nine, Ten and Eleven's eras, and have come to the conclusion that the phone call scene from "Deep Breath" is my personal preferred ending (no offense to the later seasons and all who enjoy them)... So, from "Rose" onward, what other episodes from Series 1 to 7 would you folks recommend to an unconventional viewer?

I wouldn't be opposed to any Classic Who recommendations as well. "The Five Doctors" and the 1996 TV Movie are definitely on my watchlist! :)

I just finished Doctor Who and was looking for something else in the same universe, stumbling upon The Sarah Jane Adventures is an amazing discovery! It’s a fantastic spin-off that expands the Doctor Who universe in a fresh way, and Sarah Jane’s sonic lipstick.

I hope these aren't considered mass produced, I'm in the US and can never find Doctor Who merch.

TIL Karen Gillen and Peter Capaldi both appeared in S4 E2 before being Amy Pond and the Doctor What other actors played multiple roles in the series or secondary roles before getting a main/more important role
