Doctor Who: Season 10

[Mr. Carnelian]

I am SO disappointed with that episode (Sleep No More).

The annoying thing is that there were some good ideas in there, principally the Morpheus machine. And I did like the anti-capitalist strain of the story. But sadly, the whole thing just never really came together.

I was thinking that maybe the Morpheus machine was blurring the lines between dream and reality or something like that, but no. It was sleep-dust coming to life, for no apparent reason. Sleep dust which can take humanoid form, and/or float in the air being invisible cameras. Sorry, but I just can't swallow that level of ridiculousness.

Hang your head in shame, Mark Gatiss!

So are we changing this to 'In which Arya Stark brings about (SPOILER) the death of Clara. OK, that was Clara's fault really.

[Psychotic]

I don't remotely accept that was Clara's fault. It was all "Me" and I really hope the Doctor ignores what Clara said and stomps her into the curb.

Firstly, how about "hello Doctor someone is threatening to wipe out me and my friends unless I hand them over can you help us please?" But really, even if you can't do that because of your own stupidity, putting a very real curse on an innocent man to trick someone is an atrocity. Oh no, I never meant for anyone to die! You start waving a loaded gun around in people's faces try telling the judge "Oh I didn't mean for anyone to die!" when someone gets hurt and see how far it gets you. Especially when you threaten someone's friend for some trumped up bulltrout reason and then don't tell them it's not real. Clara did a really honourable and brave thing by taking a bullet for a friend who also had a young child and I'm not going to blame her for the sheer stupidity, cowardliness and downright evil that is "Me".

...really good episode though because it makes me feel like that!

Maester Luwin/Uncle Ginger (if you get this reference you're cool) seems rather ticked off.

[Mr. Carnelian]

Now THAT (Heaven Sent) was a brilliant episode.

[Slothy]

Holy smurf was it ever good.

I dunno how many countries the Horror channel is piped to but in Britain at least we are being treated to classic Dr Who every afternoon. I watch it whenever I can, ecspecially when Tom Baker has a way of drawing me in. Being born in the mid eighties meant the first era wasnt really in my life or memory (one of the many reasons I am cursed by birth), the only thing I remember is Ace calling the Seventh Doctor 'Professor'
Since then ive seen smatterings of old Doctor Who here and there, and I watch the new stuff, but I was wondering what the ones in the know (through living it or through uber-geekdom) can tell me about the classic stuff, not just your opinion on the best doctor but the best episodes, assistants etc.... Any insights would be great, then I will know what to watch out for.

I just merged your thread with our existing Doc Who thread!

I don't know if that really works: Midgar Mist is asking about Classic Who. The existing thread is about New Who.

EDIT: Plus, I was in the middle of writing out this long reply to him, and I lost it because you moved the thread whilst I was posting. Grumble.

This is a Doctor Who thread. Talk about whatever Doctor Who you fancy.

I don't mean to be a pain, but it would make conversations easier if there was a clearly defined New Who thread (this one) and a Classic Who thread.

This thread is EXPLICITLY about New Who, and people have only ever talked about New Who here. Talking about Classic Who on here as well would get confusing.

I understand if that can't be done, though. Please don't hate me or ban me, or anything.

[Shauna]

This thread has seen plenty of discussion about all walks of Who.

Also in 9 days this thread is going to be dead for the next 8 months or something, might as well talk about something in it.

This thread is EXPLICITLY about New Who, and people have only ever talked about New Who here.

Objectively false. It is primarily New stuff because it is the more popular subject, but there has been chat of Classic Who throughout the thread. SOURCE: I just read the entire thread.

[Jinx]

People have talked about all Doctor Who in this thread.

Okay, okay I get it. My bad.
