You Know Who Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 That's the thing. Everyone wants to portray Dinosaurs as giant scary things and they feel that feathers would get in the way of that. Paleontological accuracy be damned! Ironically, I'm pretty sure people would complain if they saw a feathered T-rex. Yup. We probably won't get one till well after Jurassic World, though we did get feathered raptors in "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship." But anyway, we're getting off-topic...

Dan Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Based on notes being circulated, it appears that the new opening credits will be based on that fucking amazing fanvid that made the rounds last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I heard elsewhere that they actually paid the guy for his idea, either with actual money or at least by giving him legitimate credit for it. Which is pretty great, considering that they could have just stolen it entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonC Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Had a thought - something that is always dangerous. I would like for this coming season to have River Song meet the Twelfth Doctor - and have no idea he is the Doctor. "So you don't have pictures of all my faces then?"

Donomark Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Here's hoping the new intro keeps the face in the credits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 This... actually works for me. You are all wrong! He has never called himself the anything-th Doctor in the show. If the Doctor was a real person and walked in here, and you said, ‘Which incarnation are you?’ he’d have to think, just as you’d have to think about how many houses you’ve lived in. He never thinks of himself as a numbered Doctor. The Twelfth Doctor means the twelfth actor to have played the lead in Doctor Who. That’s all it means. There is no such character as the Twelfth Doctor and never has been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 To be fair, he did list his incarnations by number in The Time of the Doctor. But in that list, he specifically didn't count the cloned Tenth Doctor or the War Doctor by number; he just said that they counted toward the number of regenerations. I guess, going off Moffat's analogy, if numbered Doctors are like the houses you've lived in, then the War Doctor and alt-Ten are sort of like those weird periods where you're crashing on someone else's couch in-between houses.

Kathryn Slater Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 So as I've got a day off from the games in Glasgow, I've decided that I'm going to visit the Edinbrugh Fringe festival for a day (It's one of the biggest culture/comedy/arts festivals in the UK and goes on for all of August.) I've managed to get tickets for both of the doctor who shows. The first is called: Crap Time Lord, and the second: I need a Doctor; the whosical. These can only be good fun!

Davedevil Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Picked up the first issue of Titan Comics' Eleventh Doctor series. Fun story, a good companion in Alice, decent cartoony art, and a done-in-one issue. I'd recommend checking it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman are both officially signed on for the 2014 Christmas Special, somewhat mitigating the rumors that Capaldi was going to be a one season wonder. Also, shooting on Series Eight wrapped yesterday after the better part of a year. Today begins the grind of the world tour, followed immediately by shooting on the Special. This is what burns actors out, Moffat/BBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Also, shooting on Series Eight wrapped yesterday after the better part of a year. Today begins the grind of the world tour, followed immediately by shooting on the Special. This is what burns actors out, Moffat/BBC. In fairness, I'm pretty sure they (Capaldi & Coleman) knew what they were getting into when they took on their parts. I'm not saying it's ideal, but given the fact that this is a heavyweight BBC show, which the corporation is going to market the fuck out of, it does pretty much come with the territory at this stage. And whilst I note Moffat got namechecked, this has been an issue since the series came back. Ecclestone as much as said at the time how much shooting he had to do for one series, so he got off relatively lightly given his short tenure in the role. And as for Tennant, you can see how much 5 years in the role took out of him, as well as Smith, albeit to a lesser extent. I don't think either showrunner can be blamed here - I think it's very much the BBC getting as much mileage out of the show as possible.
