agreed.
I actually hope they make him at least part Osiran.
The Pyramids of Mars has long been one of my favorite classic DW stories, and I think is long overdue for a televised sequel. (Yes, I know of the big finish follow-ups to it, but I don't consider those the same thing)
i didn't get that sense at all.
I think you're referring to the scene where he claims he was abandoned and adopted.
to me, that's a direct reference to Jodie Whitaker's timeless child plot. he was abandoned by his own people and adopted by the Galifreyans
I quite enjoyed the church on ruby road.
Ncuti Gatwa's doctor reminds me of early Matt Smith, with that manic energy and enthusiasm. I like his rendition very much so far and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with the main season come Spring.
Kinda ambivalent about the Giggle honestly. Not great, not awful. NPH's performance as the toymaker was the best part. So far Gatwa looks like he'll be a fun and watchable doctor, but it's very early.
Still wouldn't be surprised if they pulled that Valeyard twist with Tennant. They have to...
Would that really be game changing though? An expected revelation about the origins of a character that hasn't appeared on TV for over 50 years (in a serial that has been largely lost too!), and that only diehard fans even knew about before his return was teased? If that's all it is, RTD's...
I don't think that's where they're going. RTD has made comments that he won't retcon the timeless child.
If I had to make a prediction, I think they'll keep David Tennant on as the Valeyard to be Ncuti Gatwa's big bad.
And RTD has teased there will be game-changing things happening, so if you don't watch it quickly after it drops, you're likely to get exposed to some major spoilers
Why would anyone spend however much time he spent and however much money he spent doing an epic movie about a time period he wanted to say shouldn't be glorified?
Martha was my favorite of the RTD1 era companions. But Donna did quite well with the DoctorDonna parts of Journey's End. Her rapport with Tennant has always been great as well. You can tell that the actors like each other offscreen as well, and it translates in their performances.
The only standout thing about this movie in my opinion was Vanessa Kirby's performance as Josephine.
It would have been a better movie if it were called "Josephine" and focused on her as the main character, with the battle scenes being backdrops as he reads his letters to her.
Wouldn't have...
I think we fire him during the bye and promote Bienemy to HC. Need to see whether we have something with him as a HC, before another program hires him.
Why is Denver still paying this idiot? If what DC says earlier in the thread is correct, and they're just waiting it out til his contract is up, why not just release him now?
