got dumbed because the idea of a companion driven episode doesn't excite me... good one m8 i just don't like clara. she's not my cup of tea. bring back Donna or Martha pls.
while it is clara driven the doctor is still in it plenty probably the most doctor-filled doctor-lite episode ever
we need more companion-lite episodes, they're always pretty solid. Midnight and Waters of Mars are gr8 stories.

[QUOTE=Irockz;46223505]why are you talking about your ratings[/QUOTE] this just in, some people care about them :v:
[QUOTE=Irockz;46223505]why are you talking about your ratings[/QUOTE]people care about ratings because their entire point is to condense posting if you rate someone dumb it is exactly the same as you replying to them and saying 'you're dumb' if you rate someone agree it is exactly the same as you replying to them and saying 'I agree with this post' if you rate someone funny it is exactly the same as you replying to them and saying 'this post is funny' you can say you don't care about ratings but you should (and probably do) care about them just as much as how much you care what people say on the internet in general about you and the things you say
To be fair I really hated Clara in previous seasons because (inmyopinion) she had no actual characteristics besides being ~quirky~ and no reason to live beyond the Doctor. Now that they've bothered to give her a story beyond the doctor and a few human interests I actually quite like her, and I really enjoyed the episode introducing the Dr to Mr. Pink.
[QUOTE=TheRealRudy;46223962]I actually look forward to this episode, though I really hope series 9 (Or maybe even in series 8 perhaps) there will be a companion-lite episode. Like Electronic said, they're pretty solid.[/QUOTE]There was a 'companion lite episode' this year, it was Mummy on the Orient Express. That's why Jenna Coleman was locked in that carriage most of the time - she was off filming Flatline. :v:
Going to make a "Kill the moon" cinematic trailer, make it look a bit like a film plot but actually good. Trying to find my motivation in editing after a long haul off it. [editline]13th October 2014[/editline] Just hope I've not gone rusty though, decided to make a lengthy one and a short one as I can't decide between two soundtracks :v:

[QUOTE=Irockz;46223505]why are you talking about your ratings[/QUOTE] because being dumbed for an /opinion/ is pretty bad dude, at the very least it should be a disagree and a reply unless you think Hitler was a great guy obviously, that's a dumb.

oh you were dumbing me because you didn't find a joke funny, fair enough dude i totally get you now. :).
[QUOTE=TheRealRudy;46225165]I was wondering. Would the doctor be able to have a child by freezing his sperm cells and then when he eventually regenerates into a woman inserting them into his/her body to make him/herself pregnant? :v:[/QUOTE] that would make for the weirdest fanfiction ever
[QUOTE=TheRealRudy;46225165]I was wondering. Would the doctor be able to have a child by freezing his sperm cells and then when he eventually regenerates into a woman inserting them into his/her body to make him/herself pregnant? :v:[/QUOTE] dont really wanna find out tbh
[QUOTE=evlbzltyr;46225208]that would make for the weirdest fanfiction ever[/QUOTE] It probably already has made for the weirdest fanfiction.
[QUOTE=evlbzltyr;46224720]throw in a clip from a different episode or a sci-fi film or something and see if anyone notices[/QUOTE] I was actually thinking of doing a crossover with the Alien films but you'd probably notice the quality difference. Maybe I'll use a couple of scenes from Prometheus. [editline]13th October 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=TheRealRudy;46225165]I was wondering.

Something about genetic looms and whatnot
[QUOTE=yerer;46225891]Wait aren't time lords sterile or something though? Something about genetic looms and whatnot[/QUOTE] I think those of billions of kids on Gallifrey says otherwise. Though more seriously, the last of the Doctor Who New Adventures novels (which introduced the Looms bit) undid it at the end of the final one in the line, so presumably it's possible.
Well, I've nearly turned Kill the Moon into an official hollywood movie :v:

It's an acquired title. It's possible that somewhere in the process, they become sterile, although I've personally never heard it.
So the Doctor's being all serious and morally grey in the TV show, but meanwhile in the comics [img]https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/1932397_657118087736313_2268048853139298288_n.jpg?oh=59e0f9dd5f365990e8a0a58c473c587b&oe=54F70A61[/img]

Never seen these before, thought you guys might be interested: It's specially interested as Tom Baker (clearly reading a prompt) mentions Amelia Pond and does he own interpretation of "don't blink": [video=youtube;u9gmZWMy2s8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9gmZWMy2s8[/video] [video=youtube;bPTR_jzWXqA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPTR_jzWXqA[/video] I also recommend Tom Baker at 80 from Big Finish. A lovely interview. He reflects a bit on the 50th. He doesn't sound like he particularly enjoyed filming the 50th. It was cold, dark, early and he found the scene confusing. But he was enamoured with the response at the 50th Convention and feels very good for having done the 50th. He really really seems to consider that 50th convention a life highlight. He also reveals he only did the 50th special because Caroline Skinner begged and begged and begged. He eventually caved because she was such a nice person and he was aware it was a rather important event. He makes a reference to the unusual circumstances of how Caroline Skinner mysteriously disappeared. He even expressed disappointment she wasn't around for the filming.

I had not read the script, the whole script I mean, which would have given me a clear picture of the story. Even when I was The Doctor I never read the whole script before rehearsals started: I just read, very carefully, my own scenes. It was not because I didn’t care, not at all, it was because I felt it was none of my business what happened to other characters in the story when I wasn’t present. My job was to play the hero, the Doctor, as he reacted to events that affected him. So through the wintry darkness of April, I travelled to Cardiff where my scene was to be shot. My appearance in the Anniversary Special was to be a secret – a surprise for the fans – so we and the BBC decided that I shouldn’t stay in a hotel in Cardiff in case people guessed what I was there for, so I agreed to travel overnight under cover of darkness. The pick-up was at 1.30am at home in East Sussex. The car was warm and the driver superb, so superb that we arrived in Cardiff at about 4.30am! The BBC had said they would shoot my bit at 8.30am and that I would probably be away in no time at all! That’s what they said. So my driver went off for an early breakfast and I was alone in freezing weather with only a gloomy caravan as shelter. I felt anxious as I walked about the dead BBC film sets and mulled over my mysterious little scene. Alone among dead sets and sad props and in cold weather my anxiety grew. I suddenly found the scene remote. I couldn’t get a handle on it and I began to regret accepting the job. Too late, I was on site and soon to be on set. The time was now about 5.20 so there was plenty of time to become seriously miserable before the call for make-up. And I walked up and down in the semi darkness, nobody to talk to, nowhere to find a cup of hot Bovril: you get the picture. After a while the time passed as I knew it would, but it dragged its feet. Finally people began to arrive and I was called to costume and make-up and finally to the set. In the old days I knew everybody, or nearly everybody, the technicians and make-up people and all the other actors: I was at home in those long gone times. My gloom was lifted by the arrival of Matt Smith who welcomed me so enthusiastically that I began to think life was worthwhile. And so we started to shoot the scene so that I could get away “in no time at all.” Matt and I did not discuss the scene or talk about what it might mean; God forbid! No, we started just after eight o’ clock and about four hours later I was released. I tried to flee but the enthusiasm of the crew meant I was in big demand for pictures and autographs. People were nice but I longed to be away. At last we left and my driver got me back to Sussex by late afternoon.[/QUOTE] You can read the full post here where he also writes about the reception of the cameo and more: [url]http://www.tombakerofficial.com/newsletter-dec-31st-2013/[/url]
