Who else watched the premiere? I got up at 5am my time to watch it! I enjoyed it, I think this is going to shape up to be a great season!

Mwah! I'm back home - time to somehow get my hands on the new ep!! Before I click any spoilers in this thread :p
Please keep anything related to Deep Breath in spoilers until further notice... As you already are :D my derpy phone put me on the last page when I typed up my post. Edit: Seen it now!! I agree, Ultraviolence! That was amazing, I mean Spoiler:
And also I really liked how Spoiler:
Overall I thought they made it a bit too snappy and dramatic, especially with music :s I miss the mood setting tunes of Tennant's era, it really had the best music. Well, Nine's too but the music I listen to on spotify from there are remade versions of the S1 songs that were featured more or less in S2. Watch "Dalek" or "Silence in the library/Forest of the dead" and concentrate on the music and you shall see what I mean! It's very different to how they do it in "Eleventh Hour", for instance. Even though I really like the little Amy themes too :3 but we don't need upbeat or loud music all the time to enjoy a scene :/ Oh, and talking about Deep Breath again, the ending... Spoiler:
I just gotta add that I loved the interaction and chemistry between Clara and Twelve in general! Looking forward to see how they develop through the season. |
Saw it :D Kind of watching the 12th and the 10th simultaneously now since I'm behind. But what's a little bending of time in the grand scheme of things really?

Well I watched the episode again and... While I love Capaldi's effort and think that he will make a great Doctor, I don't like the overall writing.
Spoiler:
Just, as far as newly-regenerated-Doctor episodes go, this really isn't my favorite :3 EDIT: you guyyyys. I just posted my DW fanfic on PC. Not sure people will see it or want to read it on a pokémon forum but wynaut xD Maybe check it out if you're a fan of either Ten or Amy. Or both! http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=8417573#post8417573 |
Okay finally saw this. And well, it was good, it was bad, it was excellent, but it was all over the place. No consistency, and I wouldn't say that it was deliberate cause of the doctor being so or some bull like that. They need to get things in order for this to work, but when they will I suspect the show will be amazing. So yeah thoughts:

Favorite Doctor: David Tennant! Favorite Companion: Tough decision between Amy and River. We recently got rid of cable in our house, so I haven't been able to watch any of the new episodes. Does anyone know any good websites where I can watch new episodes? |
wow, Muffin, check your spelling again ;D
Welcome to the club, Raiu! Ten and Amy are my favorites too~ I think. Unfortunately I think it would be a bit bad if we started talking streaming websites here. Kind of bordering into illegal waters, you know. Unless there's an official site from the US where you can watch it within a certain time period or so? We have that in my country, for some channels and shows at least. http://www.bbcamerica.com/doctor-who/guide/season-8/deep-breath/ Hmmmm maybe not. |

And everyone was happy and friendly in the club again :D
I've realized that I probably don't like Capaldi's Doctor too much... I mean I was really looking forward to him, but he hasn't impressed me over these two episodes like Smith did with Eleventh Hour and onwards. Smith was instantly the Doctor, despite me mourning the cute Tennant like the fangirl I couldn't help but being. I mean, Smith was rather brilliant actually. Capaldi... needs some more time I think. Or maybe it's just me needing time to understand that the Doctor wasn't always hyperactive and friendly. |

I really like Capaldi. He reminds me a lot of Seven and Three. He's more the Doctor to me than Eleven was. The Doctor isn't meant to be a comedy sketch. The Doctor is an old, OLD man that wears funny clothes and travels through time and space with a friend and has a habit of stopping bad things. The funny and quirky bits are there yes, but all the New Who Doctors have had this darkness in them, something the classic Doctors didn't have. It was a story of adventure and helping people. It turned into sometimes adventure and mostly feels. The 'lonely angel' Ten was the pinnacle of that era. Eleven rode it like a dead horse. He was like a ten year old with a tantrum. This 'last of their species' thing is all new. But now, spoiler for Fiftieth, Gallifrey is returned. He's not alone. Which is why I think the show can return to its roots. The lone survivor thing was cool, but so were the Time Lords, sometimes. Eleven should have left a long, long time ago. Also, this Missy is so the Master. With the return of Gallifrey and the anagram RYCBAR and the previous anagram, YANA, "Run you clever boy and remember, you are not alone." YANA was the Master, and Gallifrey never was destroyed, meaning everything in Tennant's ending didn't happen. The Master is most likely alive... and regenerated into a woman, which is awesome. Missy=Mistress female form of Master. |
I feel like having a female Master is at least a good measure in addressing the issue of why can't the doctor be female. He could if he wanted to, but it would be a change to the character. But with the Master, having them turn female is a great twist, and makes you think twice if gender really is an issue. So yeah, I'm all for Missy. As for your post phantom, I agree mostly. I was brought in with NuWho, but having dipped into the classics recently, I feel the same about Matt. He was good, but he was running on the coattails of the 10th.
|
I think it's not necessarily a bad thing that NuWho was different. I really liked the lone survivor take on the thing and all the underlying feels and guilt that shaped Ten (and to some extent Eleven). Some say it was horrible that Rose and Nine/Ten was pretty much a love story but I think it's totally okay to angle the show in a way that will attract viewers these days. Love stories are a nice side/background plot.
And aside from Moffat's clumsy writing (and some other authors too) here and there, I really enjoyed the different feel in Eleven's series. They were a chapter of their own, with the Ponds and River. I don't at all think that they need to go back to their roots, but from what I've heard that's what the showrunners want to do these days maybe to make the old Whovians more content. Fair enough, but maybe some new Whovians won't like it as much. It's a win/lose situation, we'll see what comes out of it. |
Honestly, I'm bothered a bit by new Who fans. Sort of annoyed actually.
They fangirl and stuff. You don't see classic fans doing that. I'm so tired of the Doctor being hit on by people I could vomit. |
