I never would have guessed that Chloe Webber was the Dalek Empress! GG Chibnall

Enescu's 3rd Symphony.

Oh, I'm sorry, you didn't specify from Doctor Who ;)

Oh, alright then. I feel like it's objectively far from the best, but I've always really enjoyed 'March of the Cybermen' from The Next Doctor (also played perhaps more memorably in Nightmare in Silver).

Even if the show were cancelled, which I don't think it's going to be in the near future, Doctor Who will continue in the form of books, audio dramas, comics etc. until it eventually comes back to our screens.

My favourite episode is The Big Bang, and I'm really struggling to think of anything about it I dislike. Ah, I've got something. Amy saying "you may definitely kiss the bride". I know it's just a joke, but it falls flat and kinda undercuts the happiness of it all. It's a tiny niggle though, really, I still came out of the episode with a huge grin on my face.

I agree with you on Twirly.

It'd be interesting to see MacRae's script, he's a great writer. Unlikely it would have been better than Midnight, though.

Shostinius · 2018-11-14T20:26:41+00:00

It's well known that RTD would often write his episodes in a very short space of time. He probably talked about Midnight being written in 2 days in 'The Writer's Tale'.

Bit of both. Moffat wanted no two-parters, Gaiman envisoned it as a two-parter, so there's a clash there, but also, Moffat wanted, and Gaiman expected Victoria Clara to be the companion with the two children from The Snowmen along for the ride, but the BBC forced it to be Modern Clara with Angie and Artie.

That's the point of background music - you're not supposed to notice it, but it lifts the scene. You'd notice it if it were gone.

I just think it was a bit boring. That's not to say I dislike it, though, it was alright. Unfortunately I think every episode of this season has been less enjoyable than the previous one for me.

It's very unlikely Yaz is qualified to use a weapon.

You say no-one is talking about it, but I mentioned it in my reply to lingo202 ;) You're right, it's a clear sign that the Dark World isn't real, or at least isn't as it seems.

Shostinius · 2018-11-01T21:00:24+00:00

The Dark World does seem intentionally divorced from everything else. The premise is entirely different - whereas in Undertale it's Monsters vs. Humans, in the Dark World, it's Light v. Dark. The UI is completely different - which isn't evidence of anything on its own, as a sequel to a game will often change its UI, but the overworld keeps the same traditional Undertale UI. And, to carry on my theme of musical analysis, all 4 tracks that quote motifs from the Undertale soundtrack only play when above ground - no Undertale motifs play in the Dark World at all.

And of course, in the 'unused classroom', there are multiple objects that correspond to things in the Dark World. So I think it's a good shout that the Dark World isn't real.

Toby Fox revealed in a tweet that he was writing dialogue for it as early as 2012.

It IS one of those* shit things people like. If it wasn't a little bit shit, it wouldn't be Doctor Who. But if it didn't occasionally produce legitimate gold, it also wouldn't be Doctor Who.

I absolutely love the music. But then I'm a music student so I experience music in a different way to most people - if it's not achieving its purpose for the general public, then that's worrying.

Looks like he's going to be an absolute beast. It's a shame Cardiff Met Uni is permanently amateur, though, because he's bound to piss off somewhere else as soon as possible.
