FishComBobulated replied to the topic Deep Breath
American media does not recall or recognize the villain from “The Girl in the Fireplace,” and, given the lack of Capaldi quotations in a dozen articles, they also do not understand his accent well enough.
I had no expectations for American media on it, though, because… well. Need I say more? This made the “instant reviews” (more like knee-jerk…[Read more]

@Craig –
Thanks for adding it, and I understand both minds to which you referred. I’m slightly trepidatious adding the first post, but there’s such a wealth to discuss about it that it will be spoiler free (after breakfast and tea).

@PhaseShift – But because the BBC has certain clever rights to this footage, they stand to make a more than substantial amount of money by slowly releasing the lost eps on DVD and digital downloads. This will create a relatively huge influx of money for them (which sadly won’t be in part funneled to some degree back into the nudget for new Who…[Read more]

@IAmNotAFishIAmAFreeMan – They needed to be remastered (and what a fine job), but I imagine that SM et al got to see them these past several months if not years in some cases. And the influence from them on the direction of writing and casting has been quite palpable.
@Bluesqueakpip – Given what Gatiss said, and the journalistic work done by…[Read more]

@Craig – Loving the redesign. Worlds better. Gray is the new grey. Could you please add “Web of Fear” to the BG episodes section now that it is released? I imagine I’m not the only old goat giddy to discuss it. Thanks.

@ScaryB –
The same thought passed throuh my mind as I watched the first two episodes tonight. Which thought then transmuted: How long has SM known about and been watching these lost episodes? And how much have they informed his choices on many levels, from the inclusion of The Great Intelligence in his writing to the casting of Peter Capaldi…[Read more]

@scaryb – Let’s be honest about the fan”girls”, especially some of the American ones, who made some rather “ugly” social media responses to Capaldi’s selection: if they think that not having late 20-something to […]

@shazzbot et. al. – After the deflating celebrity hype of the live special and a day to consider the new Doctor, I have come to realize this:
Celebrity is being incredibly overblown. Not just on the special. […]

@JuniperFish – I’m a huge fan of Bryan Fuller (“Wonderfalls” and “Pushing Daisies”), but I couldn’t gather enough interest to slog through the gore at 10 p.m. on a week night.

Of interest in one of the articles covering this is that Moff nearly cast PC instead of Smith as Eleven. From the writing angle, I think that has some serious implications. Initially Moff decided to start with the […]

So excited about the the choice here. PC has a thundrously wide range and will be able to dress down hostile aliens in a singular manner.
That was an incredibly painful live show. It’s basically a drawn-out […]

Final thought: Walter Bishop is a direct homage to William Hartnell as the originator.

Some have said the name John Noble, of “Fringe” fame, as a new Doctor suggestion. (In the States, the Venn Diagram of modern science television watchers consists in the circles of those who for the last five years […]

The impression that I received when Clara read the book and said “that’s who” was that the experience got erased due to temporal paradox. In the finale she remembered, and the Doctor remarked with some […]

I remember the existential threat of “the permanent record” since kindergarten. It was my first big word: “But I gave Russell his toy back, why do I have to go on my ‘purr-muh-mint reck-ord?'” Who […]
