tickets are £99 and then there's the travel and hotel. I'm sure a lot of people will want to go though.
So it's DoctorCon, eh? Though I like Doctor Who, I ain't into -Cons.
Still interesting, regardless.
[QUOTE=ironman17;33235658]Maybe if it showcased possible internal struggles, like coming to terms with one's orientation or exploring the reasons behind it, that'd probably be a bit deeper than the shallow approach of just wanting to bum a brotha, which has it's appropriate place in certain things, but isn't to be overused (and somewhat abused) outside of some seedy porno you find on the internet.[/QUOTE]
both are pretty cliched
I actually don't fault RTD that much for having so many gay/bi characters. you only notice the gay ones, but take the straight ones for granted.
tally up the number of gay characters he's had and tally up the total number of characters he's had, then calculate a percentage. It'll be pretty close to the actual gay percentage of the population
My lecturer had a debate with me about Doctor Who this week.
He doesn't like Moffats current writing. But Moffat met him once and said he liked HIS writing. (He writes journals, books and academic shit on Doctor Who and TV)

I know quite a few people who do not like Moffat's writting and prefer RTD, it's only when I look in this forum it's the other way around. And some people that I talk to enjoy sherlock and wished he put the same effort into Doctor Who.
I honestly for one, am still on the 10th doctor.
Finishing him up.
So, the beeb is working with a harry potter director on a DW movie seperate from the davies and moffat universe. Not sure if want.

Sounds like another disaster waiting to happen.

[quote]David Yates[/quote]
No, Yates is a quality director.
If it was Chris Columbus I'd be panicking.
Starting from scratch you say? Uh, no thanks.
I'm actually sort of excited, my sister and I are both huge Harry Potter fans and I'd love to see if the promise of the guy who directed Harry Potter doing more weird British fiction would draw her in.
I want Iain Glen as the Doctor

The whole starting from scratch thing feels kinda eeep, even if it ignores certain not-so good episodes. It should at least acknowledge certain events in the modern series that did or didn't happen.
Hopefully even without connections to the current Whoniverse, it won't be enough for fanatical Whovians to disavow it as "non-canon", which is kinda like the three wise monkeys, and I use the term "wise" with sarcasm, spite and vitriol, since the modern phrase associated with the monkeys (see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil) seethes with apathy and a smell of burning sulphur.
Only thing I dislike about Yates is how he rush action sequences. So when you expect something to last for 10 minutes it's actually 30 seconds (like with all his HP movies).
And expect badly placed American slapstick humor if he hires Kloves to write the script.
Hope they don't mess this one up and keep to the roots and style of Doctor Who well :/
It's either gonna be terrible when it comes out, or scrapped before it's made. End of.
I say terrible...

I don't think anyone should judge until we know who's writing it and who's going to be the Doctor.

More likely he was referring to [URL="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116118/"]McGann's tenure[/URL].
[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;33203850]Does anyone else think that Moffat actually knew how Series 6 would go when writing 5? Seems to me like he's written himself into a corner.[/QUOTE]
Quite the opposite; The Doctor told Dorian that he's been to noisy, and that it's time to move back into the shadows. I take that to mean that he's going to stop with the Good Man Goes to War type doctor, and be more of a Night Terrors kind of doctor; one that doesn't care much for politics but instead helps the little guy out

That was a bad script and a tv moive, the planet of the dead and waters of mars are considered tv movies as well but better written.
The old movies were on the big screen.
If I could steer the outline I would get the actor who played the 8th doctor, have it set before the time war, and stand out far away from the 1996 movie. It would give a window to be open and creative while allow to be cannon and not insult the audience (if the script is good, but you have a whole different hurtle to go over with a reboot).
None of this fresh new start which as been done before.
I think it'd be interesting if the story was set before the first time we meet the doctor in the original TV series, as the story was in the Star Trek reboot.
The young first doctor could work and the master could be throw in as well.
If they have the movie with anyone other than Matt Smith playing 11, would it be considered canon?
young first doctor, 8th doctor, screwing the tv show and having the 12th doctor.
It wont be canon.
