@Nick – just one little comment before we agree to differ
As for the rest they haven’t reappeared
Huh?
The Slitheen went on to a happy career in the Sarah Jane Adventures, as well as a small part in the big […]

It may be helpful if you take an example of say, The Sontarans, and tell us what you believe their established “Agenda” is, if we are talking at cross purposes about motivations, drives and “Agendas”. […]

Sorry, we are just going to have to disagree on this. That’s OK, it’s allowed 🙂
I don’t understand how you can say the AG Who is LESS creative for not repeating its foes when you acknowledge that it […]

The threat of invasion from the Soviet Union is simply not comparable to a threat of invasion from a succession of entirely different alien races with differing technologies, logistical requirements, […]

AG Who is VERY keen on undermining our expectations – not every alien is a monster, many are acting on basic hardwired instincts eg need for lunch 😉 (Vashta Nerada), some are just […]

I should point out re: Fenric that I was also there. I watched Curse of Fenric on first broadcast. I enjoyed it. I also couldn’t care less if Fenric ever came back or not. I’m sure that if Fenric does […]

@Nick @Phaseshift @Bluesqueakpip @Shazzbot
Nick – I don’t really get your point that all iconic foes need an agenda – which you seem to imply means a BIG PLAN to either obliterate the Dr or take over the […]

@Nick –
I think there have been 8 events of Global significance in AG Who where it would be generally aware that “we are not alone” and the buggers want to take our planet:
Indeed. And it’s been made extremely […]

@Nick – I think you are genuinely missing the reason why most of the iconic monsters appear in the first ten years.
Once a monster becomes ‘iconic’, it’s then available for use in stories. This reduces the […]

What if you spend, say a few months on an adventure with the Dr – eg IA/ToA was set over several months. Then the TARDIS drops you back in your own life 5 minutes after you left? You’re 6 months older, […]

I doubt the casual viewer who is only dipping in and out would get many details of anything! They could still watch and enjoy the show but it would be on a different level of understanding. But that […]

I saw nothing that said to me that the Amy/Rory stories played out over as much as 5 years of their lives
Are we ignoring young Amelia in Eleventh Hour, or the retrospective views of […]

@Nick – yes, the big trouble with Moffat’s era for the more casual viewer is his deadly habit of putting […]

@nick @shazzbot (mention to @JimTheFish)
should I conclude I’m watching the wrong show ?
I think that’s only a conclusion you can make yourself. I do think it is a mistake IF (and this I’m posing as a […]

@Nick, A more radical approach could be done but shouldn’t be done just for the sake of it. I liked the restrained changes in @JimTheFish‘s story. He managed to capture the feel of the original while giving it a […]

You are not alone re Simm – as I said above I did not like where RTD took the Master but I liked how Simm played the character as envisaged by RTD. Not many people could have made that piece of […]

@Nick Agree. Then again there’s pros and cons to everything, tho the cons (in all senses of the word) seem more pertinent to the BBC’s attitude to Dr Who.
Now… The Doctor as second hand car dealer – would […]

ScaryB replied to the topic The Talons of Weng-Chiang part 3
I like the modern pacing and the older style of Talons-era equally, provided, as @Nick and others say, it’s done well. (Something I thought 7.2 achieved consistently)
One of the interesting things about […]
