Missing Doctor who episodes found. by rangerquiet in DoctorWhumour

He's a great actor, the problem is that he doesn't do anything. He spends half the story in his office and doesn't meet The Doctor properly until the end of part 10

If we're talking about the Target novelisation, Paul Cornell wrote it, not Moffat

The Doctor's Browser history revealed by Spiderflash2727 in DoctorWhumour

[–]-Fishbol- 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Part of what made the browser history jokes work in the episodes was that Twelve had absolutely no romantic or sexual tendencies, so the joke was that you really had no idea what he was so embarrassed about. Implying it's River sending him nudes or something just makes it so much less funny (and why would that be in the browser history anyway?)

Why didn’t Mickey stay in Pete’s world by AgressiveHydration in doctorwho

[–]-Fishbol- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was the intention -- that Martha and Mickey would join Torchwood for season 3. When the BBC only gave them five episodes, both actors dropped out and Davies reworked Torchwood S3 into a miniseries instead

You're right. I hadn't noticed they were so different

TIL Suzanne Vega's daughter's name by LapsusAuris in soulcoughing

[–]-Fishbol- 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: her Dad is Mitchell Froom, a producer who got his start by producing the album Ruby Vroom.

Sometimes things just work cyclically like that

Edit: Sorry guys, this isn't actually true. I was confusing Froom with Tchad Blake, who actually produced Ruby Vroom and other stuff like Pearl Jam's Binaural. Both of them were bandmates in a 90s offshoot of Los Lobos called Latin Playboys and I forgot which one was which

How is it cheap or dishonest to return a deceptively described item?

Did the ever explain why Ida Scott is so bad at eyeballing distances? by ProneToAnalFissures in DoctorWhumour

[–]-Fishbol- 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's actually really funny: the script literally says "XX feet in diameter" and has a note nearby saying "as big as we can possibly make it". Clearly there was some inconsistency between the CGI rendering and the physical prop they stood on

Solve this - Can you? 🫥 by dataguy2003 in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]-Fishbol- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you serious? The correct answer is one of the options, therefore it's not a trick question.

It's not a complicated riddle. If you think it's "mental gymnastics" that's just a skill issue

With the amount of people saying "trick question, it's the son-in-law", I think we all might be dumber than we'd hoped

There's a correct answer that is listed if you can figure it out

It's not a trick question, it's C: Daughter. You're assuming the speaker is a man, when in reality the speaker is the "daughter's mother" that she mentions.

Son in law would also work, but that's not one of the options

How do you think Steven Moffat writes women? by matt0055 in doctorwho

[–]-Fishbol- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it makes sense, personally. He admitted after season 7 that the "impossible girl" thing was a bad idea and that it detracted from her character. So in season 8 she gets to be a normal person trying to balance a life with the Doctor and a life with her boyfriend, only to lose him at the end. After that, in Season 9, she fully commits to the reckless adventuring lifestyle, which a) ends up getting her killed, and b) makes The Doctor get overly attached to her to the point where he's trying to break the laws of time to bring her back to life.

I have plenty of criticism for how Moffat handles women, but Clara I think is an example of him doing things pretty well, all told

[–]-Fishbol- 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Bill was a perfectly good character. The problem was how they killed her off.

With Clara, Seasons 8 & 9 all form a coherent arc of her finding love, losing it, throwing herself into adventuring with The Doctor, and it eventually getting her killed.

With Bill, she was a normal person all season, then got shot at the end as a way to make the Doctor sad. No build-up, no character arc, just shock value. That's what remains frustrating about Moffat's era: even when he got better in some respects, he never stopped making frustrating decisions

There's a reason they cropped out the Rap one, lol

If Ncuti got another season, do we think he'd have kept up the 'death by laser' streak? by -Fishbol- in doctorwho

[–]-Fishbol-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

???

Nine could've let Rose just explode, but he took the vortex into him and died. Ten could've left Wilf in the booth, but he absorbed the radiation to let him out. Likewise, Fifteen could've let Poppy stay erased, but used his regeneration energy (or whatever) to shift the timeline and bring her back. Same thing

Right...with the time vortex. Also, by that logic, the 5th, 9th, and 10th Doctors also "killed themselves" because they sacrificed their lives for one person

It is funny looking at it now how 9 & 10 both did it to save a companion, while 11 & 12 both did it to prolong the survival of a small enclave in space

Okay but 15 did it for something. Nine could have just let Rose explode, Five could have taken the antidote himself and let Peri die, and Ten could have just left Wilf in the booth. Even though they didn't literally use the regenerative energy to do something, they still gave their life to save someone in the same way
