@OB-Wan

And one thing I’m really good at is giving as good as I get.

Actually, you’re not. Repeating stuff said to you back is just exceptionally lazy plagiarism.

 I’ll try to participate some more.

It just a pity it took three whacks with the clue stick.

Now I really do recommend going back and reading through this thread, because you will see h…[Read more]

@ob-wan Yes @puroandson is/are (they are a bit of a hybrid) our most welcoming members and we love them for it.

We have become a bit protective of this space as most other Doctor Who boards are just awful. And we have had to defend it time and again, from really awful people sometimes.

Unfortunately it’s the internet and anyone can join. But we…[Read more]

@ob-wan I’ll bite, because that last (but one) post was actually the sort of post we like around here. I am willing to believe you just got off to a slightly misunderstood start. Feel free to continue in that vein and I’m sure you’ll fit right in.

We’re actually very friendly round here – we just sometimes pull up the drawbridge and yell “Your…[Read more]

@OB-Wan

Be careful about laying down standards

Says the poster who looked up the dictionary definition of ‘camp’….and then pointed at Peter Capaldi.

Jeebus, you’re not even making sport of this. To repeat for the slow of clue-getting:

Seriously. Read the thread and see the sort of standards we aspire to around here. ‘Cos this ain’t Youtu…

Oh my God! You can Google!

Now, do you have anything interesting to say?

@ob-wan

Although i really enjoyed the first three Doctors (since 2005) each with their varied ways of potraying the Doctor.

Peter Capaldi has brought something special to the part, in my opinion he is more ‘human’ than the other three.

It’s interesting to read other points of view, but seriously (as clara would say) there is no need for you to…[Read more]

@doctordani  . . . introducing ambiguity about the ‘hybrid’ had a greater purpose here, and was a set up for that discussion between him and Ashildr about why he’s so preoccupied with protecting Earth, i.e. because he’s half human

Well, it keeps that bit of kerfuffle alive, I suppose, and anything that maintains DW’s flexible backstory is worth…[Read more]

@ob-wan Yeah, as others have pointed out, you’re confusing the script with the actor. I’m not even sure the tank thing is the best example. It was meant to be over the top and was a deliberate anachronism. My point about Capaldi is that he can do more in one look than most can, even when the writing is letting him down.

@puroandson Thanks for the…[Read more]

@OB-Wan

There are two ways you can prosper in this forum:

1) Have something interesting and pertinent to say;

Striiiike 1

2) Root what you say in a theory of literature or at the very least a clear grasp of storytelling, its purpose and role;

Striiiike 2.

3) Be witty

Striiike 3. Yer out!

I realise that technically that three ways. So sue…[Read more]

@ob-wan Personally, I think that it’s Clara who was the deadwood and Jenna Coleman should have been allowed to go at the end of Series 8 when she wanted to after the Danny Pink debacle. That’s why a lot of the storylines have really dragged this year. For me, anyway.

I don’t think you could be more wrong about Capaldi, however. Of course it…[Read more]
