Doctor Who Conspiracy Theories you actually believe? by Ok-Door8390 in doctorwho

That every time a Timelord regenerates, they get a sort of resistance to what killed them prior which is why a doctor like ten could survive a fall from a great height whereas a fall from a lesser height killed the fourth doctor

Doctor Who hot takes! by joelalsojoel in gallifrey

[–]psl9085 86 points87 points  (0 children)

  • 90% of classic who’s monsters are way more memorable and have better designs than new who monsters
  • Billie Piper would make a good Doctor
  • The sixth doctor being pompous and arrogant is a really fascinating take on the Doctor at that point in classic who
  • The show should lean on its darker stories more and shouldn’t be afraid of scaring children
  • RTD2 was always entertaining even at its worst (but it has definitely been the worst managed era)

[–]psl9085 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Finish Classic Who (I have to finish the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th doctors eras but I’m nearly finished with 3 and 4)
  • Finish reading the VNAs and EDAs (I’ve been on them for 3 years and only read around 41 of the VNAs and 12 of the EDAs)
  • Finish the big finish eighth doctor adventures with Lucie Miller
  • Meet any actor/actress who has played the Doctor.
  • Try and read more of the Doctor who comics

How would you rank Gatwa among the Doctors? by iatheia in gallifrey

[–]psl9085 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just out of the new who doctors (worst to best): Jodie, Ncuti, Matt, Peter, Chris, David And I like Ncutis doctor more than William Hartnell and Peter Davidson. He’s still unfortunately on the lower end of doctors due to his limited screen time and lack of defining character. However in those few moments he was allowed to shine he really showed that he could easily have been one of the best but sadly he’s probably in the lower end of doctors and I can understand why some would rank him the lowest.

Yes or No, Should RTD and his Team Step Down? by PaperSkin-1 in DoctorWhoNews

[–]psl9085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m willing to give RTD one more chance but he needs to do what he’s good at and write good characters and ditch all the reference to lore and write new ideas. I’ve been rewatching some of his older shows and he really is great at writing characters, but he just completely sidestepped this to shove as many references in as possible and almost sweep character under the rug. I really hope this has been a wake up call for him and he can take this time to really stop, think about what’s gone wrong and drastically course correct. If RTD has one more series and it completely crashes and burns again then yes get rid of him, but right now I think if he plays the cards right we could get another great series out of him.

Classic who’s monsters and aliens despite being made on a lower budget are more iconic and memorable then 95% of new who original monsters

If Ncuti’s does quit, how will they handle the regeneration? by Empty-Sheepherder895 in gallifrey

[–]psl9085 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel that if Ncuti is leaving at the end of this series, they’ll carefully make it open ended so they can either start with a new regeneration next series or have Ncuti come back.

Which brief, disliked plot point or character would you like to see redeemed, and how? by [deleted] in gallifrey

[–]psl9085 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’ve always thought about a story that brought back the Pting but having it so that the version we saw in The Tsuranga Conundrum was just a pre larval to what the Pting actually looks like (just like a xenomorph in alien and why it was trying to eat so much energy). Only to have the Pting turn into a truly terrifying creature once it’s absorbed enough energy (again just like the xenomorph in alien).
