Ryn Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 It was a fun one. I've caught on to how Moffat takes a term or turn-of-phrase and builds a story around it however. (Shoulda seen it from "silence in the library.") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Legend Killa Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Meh it was pretty cack. Best bit was Pond at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm over Pond. So happy with the news they are writing her out. Don't get me wrong, she's hot, but I've always hated that as soon as she appeared they redid the open with her doing a monologue... like it's all about her. **** that. The companions are usually cool and all, but I don't watch for them which is contrary to what Moffat believes. I watch for the Doctor, I view the companions as just talking MacGuffins, I care for them little more than that. As for the Xmas Special, it was decent. Had some neat moments, but overall it was just another episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavonis Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I enjoyed the Xmas special. I never thought that every episode must involve peril to the universe, or Earth for that matter. Sometimes the well-being of an individual or a family is sufficient to make a story dramatic. If the Doctor is going to keep a lower profile for now, then these kinds of stories should be more common in the next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheep Murderer Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I really didn't have a problem with it. It's fluff, just as it should be. You know what is odd, though? I feel like Matt Smith has been exhausted and they need to move on to a different Doctor. Don't get me wrong, I love Matt Smith, but the show is ready for another change.

The Human Torch Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I think that change is coming. Once Amy is gone and we move away from River, it'll get fresh again. The companions are stale and exhausted. We need new Talking MacGuffins for the Doctor to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavonis Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 ^A new companion or two will definitely liven up the Eleventh Doctor. I like Smith's take on the character, and would like to see him stick around for a few more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Human Torch Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 To clarify when I said "I think that change is coming." I didn't mean I think a new Doctor is coming or that I want a new Doctor. I meant The Doctor/Matt Smith will slough off the staleness that Sheep perceives when he gets a new companion and that is the change that is coming.

Sheep Murderer Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 A new companion would definitely help. New material is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 How are we clamorimg for a new doctor when this one has barely hade a chance to settle in? I’m clamoring for a complete overhaul of the series, writers and actors. RTD’s worse is nothing compared to the constant drivel that the new gang is putting out. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a Matt Smith hater. He acts out well what’s given to him. But what’s given to him is crap and the direction is worse. Game of Thrones proved that 21st century audiences can enjoy and make profitable a character driven series. Additionally, the new crew in particular seems to want to ignore every piece of established history (both old series and new) and just turn everything on its head just because. It’s tiring and insulting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 You confuse me. Why is Gam of Thrones comparable? A million shows are character driven series, I don't see the connection between the two... and as far as I can remember you hated Moffet's reign before it even began. The only thing I'm tired of is River Song, but they brought her arc to a nice close. Matt Smith is great-- sure it will take a while for me to be as endeared to him as I was Tennant, but by and large the episodes themselves have been way better than Tennant's first two years and Eccelson's run combined. I love Pond, but I think they wrote her into a corner too quickly with Rory and getting married. I personally liked the shift to the showing being her point of view, it added some mystique back to the Doctor. All of this is workable and doesn't need an all-new showrunner and Doctor.

Ryn Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 RTD’s worse is nothing compared to the constant drivel that the new gang is putting out.That's a strong statement. RTD had some pretty awful ones. Retrospectively, after the first arc of Eccleston's run was completed, all the subsequent arcs have had good set-up with so-so resolution.

The Human Torch Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 ^ "You know that's right."[/burton Guster] Several of the big event episodes with Tennant and even Smith just end so... meh, ugh? and blargh! Also I'm not sure I can side with the notion that The 11th Doctor run has been better than The 9th Doctor's season, maybe on par or close to, but not more than. Eccleston had some really super fantastic episodes and moments within episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obsidian Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 RTD's run was decent, as long as he was kept away from a keyboard. He would build up strong and interesting arc, and then blow it it at the last minute with anti-climactic, or just plain idiotic, resolutions "Journey's End", anyone?. As to bad episodes... I'm sorry. While Moffat has had some not-so-great episodes, nothing during his tenure has even approached the level of awfulness of 'Love and Monsters', 'Fear Her', 'Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks', 'Aliens of London/World War III' or 'The Lazarus Experiment'. 'The Lodger', arguably the worst episode during Moffat's run, may not have been great, but it was Citizen Kane compared to those RTD eps I mentioned.

UK Legend Killa Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Noooooo the Silurian episodes were the worst but managed to get saved by the killing off of Rory at the end. After that it is the Dalek episode, great idea to reboot them as they are now, just a poor poor story. RTD had better finale stories, Moffat has better layering of storylines and they both (kind of) suck at resolutions. I cringe just thinking about the end of the third series. 'DOCTOR....' Bleh.

I didn't have much problem with the Silurian episodes. They were not great, but I wouldn't call them horrible. Just kinda 'bleh.' Moffet's worst episodes are, at their least, mediocre. Davies' worst were truly bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
