Yeah, I figured the episode was anti-Thatcher satire, but to be honest it was as subtle as a brick. It still worked but I think it would have been better if they wrote it more low key. The real stand out scene in that episode was when the Doctor confronted the sniper, great performance by McCoy.I have a feeling that if it was subtle, nobody would get it. People tend to be dim.
It is a shame that McGann didn't get longer to flesh out the 8th Doctor on film, thank fuck for the audio plays.
When I was looking for those comics yesterday, I stumbled upon this:

Forever laughing at four's face.
Okay, I literally just finished watching the first part of "Dragonfire" and I just saw the worst Doctor Who cliffhanger of all time. The doctor looks over a railing overlooking a massive chasm, and then FOR NO REASON, climbed over and started hanging off the bars, then he realizes he just fucked up and now he's hanging by his umbrella, cue credits. must have been a lazy day in the Writers Room.
Ever since I wrote it up, I've been waffling linking people to a fic I made starring the Doctor (10) and the Master.I love it. Tis amazingly fantastic.

If you aren't intimately aware of the childhoods and early adulthoods of either Time Lord most of this will seem like I made it all up when it comes to their names for each other and various parts of their time in knowing each other.
I will never be able to watch "The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances" before bed. Just. Can't. Do it.

Hmm... I found Midnight and Blink to be creepier (actually most of the Weeping Angels eps), but I guess your scary mileage will vary, of course.
My friend wanted to go back and re-watch all of NuWho since we started watching it together in S7, and she'd missed a couple episodes from previous seasons. So, we've just started over again with "Rose" and have watched the first couple episodes of Nine's run.
God, I'd almost forgotten there was a time when companions were actual human beings instead of plot devices only worth keeping around because there's some "mystery" attached to them. I remember being kind of "meh" about the first half of S1 when I first saw it, but after three years of Moffat's brand of empty expository storytelling, I've come to appreciate the earlier episodes much more.

And I looked upon the answer to Martha hate and thought it... good. /John Simm's the Master
That whole "well, what have THEY done on their own?" thing kinda irritates me. A character doesn't need to always be the centre of attention or act on their own volition to be a good character. Amy trusted the Doctor, that's why she, by and large, went along with his decisions. If you had someone you knew was your clear superior in an extremely dangerous situation, you'd defer to their judgment, too. If anything, Amy was more human.I agree that a character doesn't always need to act on their own in order to be a good character. But they still need to do it sometimes, otherwise they're not a character, they're a tool. We need to see Amy occasionally expressing her own desires and ideas so we understand what makes Amy an independent person rather than an accessory defined solely by her relationship to the people around her. What does Amy like to do? What kind of aspirations does she have? What motivates her? What was her life like before she met the Doctor?
"I'm in an extremely dangerous situation where I may very well die. Should I follow my own instincts, or the man standing next to me that's clearly survived fucking wars?" Really tough decision, I know.

Heh. Same thing happened with the writer of Pacific Rim when it came to Vanessa Gottlieb.
I actually agreed with Neil's opinion on the 12th doctor and if people would have actually sat down and thought about it, then maybe they wouldn't have gotten their panties in a bunch.
Yeeeah, while I have no problem with the Doctor being a woman in theory, I don't trust the majority of writers, including Moffat, to write her effectively. Most of the reason people are wary of female characters is the fact that writers tend to box them in to a few very limited archetypes, so they come to believe any female character will naturally HAVE to conform to one of those limited roles. If, say, one of the "My Little Pony" writers was writing her, on the other hand, I wouldn't have nearly as much of a problem, since they've at least proven that they can write female characters who are neither primarily there for sex appeal and can have motives and abilities beyond "getting a man and deferring all decisions to him".

They'll find a way to bring The Master back, tis just a matter of time. Him and The Doctor are like two sides of the same coin, can't have one without the other.

Not to mention that the Doctor named Amy/Clara whereas Rose/Martha/Donna earned their titles. It’s a subtle distinction because, technically, Amy “earned” her title by being a girl who did wait, but it’s the impact of these monikers that’s troubling. Rose became the Bad Wolf when she ended the Time War, Martha became the woman who walked the Earth after saving the planet, and Donna was the most important woman in the universe because she saved it. Both Amelia and Clara have been heroic and saved people, but their titles don’t reflect that. Their titles reflect who they are to the Doctor—not who they are as individuals.
Everybody is caught in The Doctor's protagonist field. The companions exist to give us someone to relate to, not to be the protagonist. Sure, they've become more useful over the years, but they're still, in the end, there for normal people to have a normal person to relate to. Everybody is children and puzzles to The Doctor. Life is a puzzle to him, and only a few are more than children to him. However, he still respects the hell out of them, but in the end, he's a Time Lord. He's better than the others ever were, but he is still a smug, ancient, brilliant alien.Quote#No but it does #by painting Amy and River and Clara as ‘girls’ #Moffat puts them in positions with less power #He infantilizes them and reduces them to side-characters in their own stories #Because nothing about these ladies is about the #*them #it’s all about the Doctor #and how he reacts to the puzzles they supply #for god’s sake Amy’s pregnancy wasn’t even about her #It was about how the Doctor was going to figure out what was wrong with Amelia #Did you notice that when he’s worried about her #he calls her Amelia #he makes her a child again to remind her (and himself and the audience) of her real position: #as the girl who waited #THE GIRL #the CHILD he met first (via isilienelenihin)

We see Moffat and the other writers make these very strong female character in a show setting that is focused on a male lead character. That is much harder than writing female characters in a show with zero male lead characters.
Also, having MLP writers do Doctor Who? Please, tell me what you've been smoking that makes you think that'd be a good idea...might help me kill time, if nothin else. One's a children's show about garishly-coloured ponies and the cliche "magic of friendship," and the other is Doctor Who. The two should not be mingled outside fanfic.
Again, this is NOT an attempt to say that the My Little Pony writers could write for Doctor Who. They're two completely different genres and target audiences, and I don't think it's an appropriate fit. This was ONLY a discussion of which show has the more organic and fleshed-out female characters, to back up my point of why I would not want Moffat writing a female Doctor.

But this is the male definition of "strong female character", where as a female character's perceived power increases, so does her sexual objectification in order to "balance it out" and ensure she's still primarily there as a set piece. A true "strong female character" is simply a "strong character", with the "female" part being completely irrelevant to her behavior and treatment.
I mean, think back on the RTD companions. They typically wore trousers, full tops, and not much make-up (except for Rose in a few episodes). No one ever commented on their legs or their ass or otherwise made disparaging comments about their gender unless it was to show that character was a douchebag. The companions never tried to seduce the Doctor or force themselves on him in a suggestive way. They were just people, who happened to be female, and they were able to become accomplished individuals without having to "offset" it with being sexy and seductive.
And then we get to Amy, River, and Clara. Amy is constantly dressed in short skirts, five pounds of make-up, the Doctor nicknames her "The Legs", upskirt jokes are made, she tries to rape the Doctor in her bedroom the day before her wedding, and there are numerous instances of other characters going "huhh huhh, she's hot". River dresses slightly more practically, but she's still the outrageous seductress, makes tons of sexual remarks, and gets nicknamed "Mrs. Robinson" by the Doctor (a G-rated term for "The Slut"). Clara III's behavior is much more respectable, but Oswin and Clara II were still both outrageous flirts, and Clara III still gets "short skirt" comments from time to time. So far Kate Stewart has been the only true "strong" female character in Moffat's run, but unfortunately she was written by Chibnall, not Moffat, and only lasted one episode (though it appears she's returning for the 50th. I just hope that Moffat doesn't feel the need to sexually degrade her as well once he gets ahold of her).
It's like writers are afraid that an accomplished woman comes across as sexually unavailable (which is also apparently a bad thing), so they have to go out of their way to make sure their male audience is assured that, "No, don't worry, this woman may be strong but she'll still totally have sex with you." You see it all the time with female superheroes, warriors, spies, and leaders in the media. "I am super capable, but I must do it SUPER SEXILY, which for some reason my male counterparts don't have to do."
The prevalence of this "strong female = sex object" trope is so bad that it spills over into real life, where you get headline news articles about a female leader's hair or clothing not being visually appealing enough, and completely ignoring the content of her message and accomplishments. Therefore, I have to insist that anyone who writes a female Doctor -- a person who is by definition a leader and inspiration to those around her -- not have a history of falling into the "strong female = sex object" trope, as it demonstrates a very undeveloped imagination regarding the roles and capabilities of female characters. And Moffat has not only fallen into that trope, he's burned the ladder to get out.

I am now going to interrupt this thread with a GIF set of Five being adorable:

Oh my god female character that show a sexual side...they must be bad characters.
Yes Amy, River and Clara wear skirts. Women do that some times. Women also flirt and gasp maybe she an interested in sex. Kate Stewart's character is in one episode and seen in a single light. Easy to write a "strong" female character when that character is pretty much one dimensional.
Skirts, makeup and some flirting does not make characters super sexy.
Your assertion that a strong female character must have no mention or reaction to her being female is ridiculous. That not a strong female character, that is a character without gender that is played by an actress. You are not advocating for strong female character, just female characters that want nothing to do with things that are seen as feminine.
I remember Amy's skirt length being commented on twice, and once was in a comedy short. Clair's skirt mentioned once. None of those time stopped the story to do it. They also don't suddenly make the characters sexualized throughout the stories.
River is very outwardly sexual, that does not in any way take way from her as a character or make her a weak female character. It would if that was all she was, but clearly she is more.
Sexualizing people does happen in real life, so if you are going to write characters that feel real it is going to happen. It does not just happen the female characters. Remember when Amy was ogling the Doctor as he changed? How about River's comment about the mind racing with possibilities when there were two Doctor?
Yes, these things do happen in real life. And it's fine for them to happen in media, again, as long as they're handled the right way. Characters are perfectly welcome to make sexually degrading comments, as long as the show frames them appropriately. To use your example of Amy ogling the Doctor, check Rory's reaction. This scene was framed in such a way as to make Amy's action come across as inappropriate, which is fine. But when demeaning comments or actions are made in Clara, Amy, or any female character's direction, there is no implied disapproval. In fact, the Doctor exerting his manly manness over those silly women is constantly shown in a heroic light.
It's this dissonance between the reactions I expect and the reactions I'm given that constantly throw me out of immersion in the Moffat era. Something I rarely had a problem with in the RTD era.
For example, in "The Angels Take Manhattan", River pulls Amy aside and tells her she can never let the Doctor see her grow old, because that would make the Doctor upset. And since no one objected to this, apparently we're supposed to consider this solid advice. But that's awful advice. Amy is going to grow old, it's a fact of life, and it's the 1,000 year-old Time Lord who needs to accept the fact that people age, not demand to be coddled by pretty young women forever.
Or in "Asylum of the Daleks" where Amy revealed she divorced Rory because she can't have kids anymore, and simply assumed that he didn't want her anymore so dumped him preemptively, without having any kind of discussion with him. And this was her "proof" that she loved him more than anything to settle their argument. What? Like the previous example, that is such an egregiously self-serving admission, and yet it's never called out. It's treated like the audience is supposed to accept that as good and valid reasoning, when it's so far from it.
And just so many more little things peppered throughout his run. Instances where the Doctor or someone says or does something unbecoming of a heroic character and no one calls them out on it. That doesn't mean they can't do unbecoming things. You're welcome to have a pervy character who feels up women's asses and tells them to get him sammiches, but you'd better not portray that character as some sort of saint by having every other character tacitly approve of his behavior. If there's no one else around, even the direction, camera work, lighting, and music can convey whether or not the narrative considers this character's actions good or bad. Characters need to make mistakes, they need to do the wrong thing sometimes, yes, but the narrative needs to show it recognizes when a character is in the wrong. And Moffat's writing in particular seems to have a difficult time conveying that it understands when its characters are wrong. Especially when it comes to how it treats women.
River's comment to the Doctor in Angles was not about aging. River told Amy not to let his see the damage. The whole context of that conversation is about the fact that one of the Doctor's flaws is he can't accept he gets the people he loves hurt.
The Doctor also get promptly slapped after he kisses Jenny.
As for Clair the Doctor makes a single comment, to himself, about her skirt being a little to tight. This in itself was part of a list of quality regarding Clair. If you feel that is inappropriate fine, but another character does not have to appear and correct him.
Amy was called out, by Rory that she should not have assumed he would be torn apart by not being able to have children with her. So her behavior was called out.
Even if it was not I think people can make there own judgement if it was wrong or not.
This flawed action by Amy does not make for a badly written female character, just a female character that is flawed.
Um, the full, exact quote is: "Never let him see the damage. And never, EVER let him see you age. He doesn't like endings."
And laughs it off. He doesn't apologize for it. He doesn't take away any wrongdoing on his part about it. His reaction is "Oh, that silly woman slapping me for forcing myself her, how amusing."
None of what he said was a quality of Clara herself, it was a list of qualities surrounding Clara. "The Impossible Girl. A mystery wrapped in an enigma squeezed into a skirt that's just a little bit too... tight." None of those things describe her as a person or a character, they describe plot devices around her. If he was describing Clara, he would have called her "intelligent, nurturing, loyal", or other adjectives that can be applied to a human being. Clara isn't a person he chose to take along with him because he respected any of her personal qualities, he just saw a puzzle he wanted to figure out and she just happened to be attached to it.
No, it wasn't. The dialogue in that scene was this:
Rory: "Amy, YOU kicked ME out!"
Amy: "You want kids! You have always wanted kids! Ever since you WERE a kid! And I can't have them!"
Rory: "I know."
Amy: "Whatever they did to me at Demon's Run, I can't ever give you children. I didn't kick you out. I gave you up."
Rory: "Amy, I don't..."
Amy: "Don't you dare talk to me about waiting outside a box. Because that is NOTHING, Rory, NOTHING compared to giving you up."
Rory: "Just give me your arm and I'll put this..."
Amy: "DON'T TOUCH ME!"
Rory: "JUST GIVE ME YOUR ARM!"
That is the entirety of that conversation. Rory never called her out on it. He never even had an opinion on it. They just randomly got back together after that, and the entire divorce and infertility subplot from this episode was neeeeever mentioned again (aside from the unfilmed alternate ending to "Angels Take Manhattan").
Yes, people can, and people do. But it becomes harder and harder to remain immersed in a show when you continuously fail to see any of the characters share that judgement, and the characters fail to provide any reasoning for the reactions they do have if they differ. The audience needs a character with whom they can relate, and if everyone is continuously behaving and reacting in unrecognizable ways, this becomes difficult to do. Rory is pretty much the only consistently relatable character since he's generally the only one to call anyone out, but it's difficult to remain attached when the show is constantly going, "Haha, the one character you agree with is a silly dorky doofus who we constantly tell to shut up and kill off three times a season."
It's only a flaw if the narrative recognizes it as a flaw. This is the main issue with Mary-Sue characters: they're fatally flawed by being obnoxious, selfish, and overpowered, but the author doesn't recognize their behavior as being unappealing, so writes everyone as being totally enamored with them and giving them a free pass on everything. A flaw is a crack in a character's facade that allows us to see how they work, by prodding that flaw and seeing how they and the people around them react. But if they don't react, or don't learn, then there's no point.
Everybody needs to cheer up!

During the Jon Pertwee years of Doctor Who, Capaldi sent scripts to the production office. Barry Letts began a correspondence with Capaldi, which eventually resulted in an invitation for the youngster to visit BBC Television Centre. Capaldi met Letts, Terrance Dicks and Pertwee. He later cited the incident as formative to his career as a professional actor, writer and director. (BBC DVD: The Monster of Peladon)

It'll probably be dealt with later, since it's rare to have any purely 'stand alone' episodes of DW these days. It's all Whedony. Some things seem to be planned way in advance, and yet still, other things seem to happen right off the top of the head. It's weird.
I know how you feel about Eleven, Booker, but I'll still miss him, like I did Ten before him, and Nine before him and so on and so forth.
I'm sure Capaldi will bring his own best and I'll have reasons to like him too. Like I do all the Doctors, really. I don't really dislike any of them.

You mean his specific TARDIS? Because the Master had a TARDIS, too. As well as a whole slew of other Time Lords. The TARDIS of the Doctor isn't a one of a kind ship.
I think it was that. But it was years ago when I read that tidbit and it might have been just fanon since the quiz was unnofficial. I just assumed that it had the facts straight but now after checking some wikis I can't find anything like it.You mean his specific TARDIS? Because the Master had a TARDIS, too.

Which are you referring? The fact she was wearing a see-thru top or is there some controversy I missed? As far as most actresses go, she's pretty cool.
When I heard 'the master' mentioned in the episode I was so excited we'd see the Master again but nope.:(
Yeah... I think Rassilon would have been a pretty nummy treat.
If he finds a way to get stabilized and if the drums in his head have finally stopped, his brain may start healing from the insanity the Time Lords caused him... Just think... all those years, from little boy to the drums stopping.
I dunno about you all out there, but hearing the same rhythm incessantly for hundreds of years would really make me all woo-hoo.
Even if it wasn't even thought of more than likely back in the classic series (the drums, anyway, or the Time Lords doing it to him), it was said several times that the Master and the Doctor were very good friends before the Master's mind finally snapped. It brings new light to the way I think of the Master when I watch the classic seasons with Delgado and Ainley.
Was the idea of the Master being related to the Doctor in some way actually make it onto the show? haven't re-watched any of the new series before series 6 in a while.
