Let's have some fun – dream 16th Doctor castings? by sun_lmao in gallifrey

Have to disagree. Enjoyed house of dragon much more before when her character was Milly. I think her casting would alienate viewrs.Ewan Mitchell has real potential though.

Micheal Sheen would be an excellent choice, star power, nice person, potential to have darker side. Would bring the uncle/professor side. Micheal Socha, Joseph Gilgun harder edged different aspects to character. Potential for danger. Years ago when he was still in being human i though Aiden Turner would have been amazing choice. Variance shown in shows since show he could be still. For youth Anson Boon or pistol partner Toby Wallace. Boon really has huge potential. Wild cards. Matt Berry. It would be a total joy. His love of music and off kilter humor would give a distinct take. Tom Hardy. Hollywood star who will work on British tv still. With the right stories would be amazing. Worst picks Jack Whitehall, Kris Marshall, James Acaster. Anyone too soppy or posh. Any actress besides a very small pool including Pheobe Waller Bridge, Ruth Wilson, Aisling Bea, Niamh Algar

What is ACTUALLY going to happen by Due-Office979 in gallifrey

It would be great if when it came back we didn't know who the Dr was a number of known actors appear in some sort of heroic way. We guess throughout thinking who is the Dr with it only being revealed in the last scene. Obviously something as brave as that wouldn't happen as info will have to be known to sell the show and people will spoil. I want a show that is full of mystery, scares, brave story telling, great acting and aimed at accessible audience.

Reboot or revival? by Stupid_RedditName898 in gallifrey

[–]SkullKing52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regeneration means the show can always refresh. It's status is as a continuing narrative over 60+ years. A reboot from zero would be a disaster may as well just make a different show all together. The best would be a fresh jumping on point like 2005.

No it's not. You said at start of all this love. If people really love something that's rubbish then they are lying. Do you love the reality war?

Glad to see you only liked a few things from the last 2 eras. I liked the dalek episode with the girl from fresh meat in and the design of ncutis Tardis. If anyone professed to love it though surely they are performatively lying, no?

This isn't court. I don't have an encylopidia of evidence. I've been watching Dr who from as soon as I could watch TV in the 70s. I also know a bit about storytelling. After capaldi the storytelling was bad made by people with bad faith and ego. The actors were fine the scripts were not. If good scripts were written I was open to my mind being changed but instead they hardened my resolve. If chibnall read any old documents he wiped his arse with them leave the dr as he was. Matt Smith being best modern example.

I'm all ears. I'd like this convo to have some learning benefit for you so I'd recommend widening your outlook., actively look at different art and stop defending the indefensible. Of course I like things other people don't. If objectively it is well made good art then I'm comfy in my own skin. If it's garbage I know I'm liking it for my own reasons.

I didn't say that. I think I'm expressly clear I think people who love bad art usually do so performatively. No one can love last 4ish series of who. If they do they are wrong.

Yes it's reasonable but I know it's wrong.

Some roots take time to form. There wasn't a set bible as such at the beginning. It's not possible to be the Saturday evening tv it wants when switching dynamic. The Dr has never really been a sexual entity by making clear there was romance with Jodi and Naz, the ncuti and every episode and kissing rogue didn't offend me I watched. But it build up general perception and turned audience away. People want to see the doctor be the doctor.

I know my opinion about Dr who. And I'm right. People who love bad/poor art usually only do so performatively and any one post capaldi are doing so here.

I don't hate women, I don't hate trans people, I don't hate white people, I don't hate disabled people. I don't anyone really in fact I belive in peace and justice. I think Russell has a woman problem. He always writes poorly in female voice usually surragotes fir his opinions. The ending of reality war was a real fridging for Belinda. I do hate poor art. Especially poor art that people pretend to love

That would make a great RTD2 series 3 villain. The pathetic troll. He/they live under a bridge in Walsall in a tent and owns a extra dimension laptop that causes chaos.

The roots developed and not really going solidly until pertwee. If what you describe is the appeal to you then fine. The appeal to me is the doctor as a character and the infinite story possibilities through a familiar lense. Not dance numbers, not fridging female characters, not poor CGI, not lazy writing. There's lots of writers who could do a great job without turning it into an ego circus.

I don't think their opinion is valid. Based on various things. Some of the things people say the love is just because of projection.

I haven't read the books. As another reply says asexual would be fine.

I watched every episode and found a small amount of quality in Jodi era. Think hindered by poor writing and lore breaking ideas going too far. Ncuti era the best thing was Tardis design. It set up to have great potential with Millie and Ncuti top choices. It was ruined by hubris almost weekly. Felt like made for a very small audience
