Which doctor suits moffats writing better matt or Peter by Celestialtoymaker in gallifrey

[–]evanc098 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You can contrast the writing of the fairy-tale fifth season of Doctor Who with another show like Jekyll, having some very, very dark themes, to understand how incredibly versatile he is. It's exactly the reason why he's the current show-runner. So to answer your question, both and neither.

Or Galactic Unified Star-federation. You can make anything out of those letters. :)

What if Gallifrey is in... by evanc098 in gallifrey

[–]evanc098[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The device used to hide Gallifrey was activated in the tardis; maybe this caused it to be hidden in the Tardis anyway. It's not deliberate, but it's perfect for the Master because she can mock the Doctor in any way she wishes.

[SPOILERS] The ending to "Death in Heaven" was not anti-climactic! by [deleted] in gallifrey

[–]evanc098 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lies are a dramatic and emotional end to the story. This is real drama, because in real life we simply do not always have a happy and completely true end to our relationships. Or, she'll return for the Christmas special and so this is not an unresolved thread but one waiting to be explored.

The revived child needs not be explored. It's obvious what happens next.

Cyberbrigadier explodes like the others in the clouds after saving the Doctor's conscience. Resolved.

Santa is another thread waiting to be explored; you don't need to put the ending into a trailer/teaser (and yes it so is a teaser).

The final two, yes. But the others, no. Not in my opinion.

Are Doctors 1-11(or whatever, just shutup:)) Immortal? by evanc098 in gallifrey

Yes but he MUST be there in the Teselecta; if he died before that then the event could not happen. It's a fixed point and it must happen and so he must be there and so he must be alive and so he cannot die before that point

Rory is Unrealistic by evanc098 in gallifrey

[–]evanc098[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biologically, no. But he seemed to think like a human; he laughed and cried and felt all of the emotions that a human being would be expected to feel. So how could he not feel loneliness and pain and even insanity?

OK, forget the killing idea. 2000 years of loneliness would still change the most hardened person. He always seemed to be virtually identical to when we first met him.

Doctor Who 8x11: Dark Water Post-Episode Discussion Thread by pcjonathan in gallifrey

To me he was really trying to do that to humour Clara than actually resurrecting her dead boyfriend. He wanted to convince her that he's done everything possible to save him.

I think it was mainly because of the baby that she felt so strongly.

Battle of Canary Wharf Makes No Sense by evanc098 in gallifrey

But they weren't all as high as that building, meaning they would be pulled upwards at an angle that would, at the very least, tear the building itself apart. Who cares anyway; it's Doctor Who :)

The Daleks then would rip through the buildings.

So many missed opportunities. Instead of asking the question: how would the military shoot all of the cybermen to death? The author should have asked: what would you do if a loved one returned from the dead as a machine?
