April 24, 20223 yr I'm still unsure what you are suggesting here as there's been plenty of contradiction in your posts. Is Jodie - Alt. universe Doctor in 'our' universe as you first stated or 'Our' Doctor in alt. universe (which makes more sense but I still think is naff) And alt. Doctor in alt. universe just doesn't work at all Alt in alt. You'll see ;)
April 27, 20223 yr Jessica Hynes is the latest name that’s being thrown around! At this point, all the rumoured names should just fight it out :lol: (I’d be very happy with Jessica though!)
May 8, 20223 yr Breaking news! Ncuti Gatwa (best known for Sex Education), RTD & Bad Wolf Studios have all posted this, heavily suggesting (pretty much confirming) that he'll be joining Doctor Who. It's know know if he'll be The Doctor or a companion, but I must say it's quite a random way to announce it if he's The Doctor! I'm buzzing though because he's fantastic (and very hot...) @1523254694604603394
May 13, 20223 yr Ugh, really? Given how generally lacklustre her era has been, is that something the fans actually want?
May 13, 20223 yr Yes, it gives them more of a chance to produce a coherent story given how many characters and villains/monsters they’ll be as well as saying goodbye to Jodie, Yaz and Dan. I still don’t hold my breath though :lol: I’ve at least prepared myself that we won’t be getting much development on the Timeless Child storyline given Chibnall’s comments in the Doctor Who Magazine.
May 13, 20223 yr It will still feel ridiculously rushed and poorly concluded despite that runtime I'm certain!
May 13, 20223 yr Yeah I'm glad it's 90 minutes to be able to fit in all the elements they have, it's the best chance they have of being able to juggle them at least somewhat successfully. Legend of the Sea Devils suffered (primarily) from being too short and having terrible pacing due to scenes being cut late in the process, so I'm not going to be disappointed at a longer episode that'll surely allow that aspect to be improved. Not the runtime of Chibnall's final episode being confirmed by.... Russell T Davies :lol:
May 13, 20223 yr It will still feel ridiculously rushed and poorly concluded despite that runtime I'm certain! True, we still don't really know exactly what we're building up to. I know we've got the trailer from the last ep but they'll still need to set it all up, develop it and end it so 90 mins won't feel that long at all
May 13, 20223 yr I've just finished rewatching Flux this week and to be honest I think, despite some of their flaws, I'll be pretty content with everything we've been given of the Timeless Child / Division storylines if they aren't explored further. We have enough information about what Division is, why it was created, who was behind it, etc. Just not particular details about Fugitive's involvement in it all, other characters involved, etc (all of which can be explored in Big Finish and others). The Timeless Child... is a lot more problematic but I think adding any more detail to that with so much to wrap up already in the special would just complicate things moving forward too. Happy with that just being what Chibnall wanted to do with the show at the time. It can just be dropped completely without much/any explanation required. So if Chibnall can just leave them be (maybe a subtle mention from the Master since that's been his 'drive' in this era) and then focus on going out on a high and giving us what we desperately want, albeit at the eleventh hour, I'll be happy and very much looking forward to what's to come with RTD/Ncuti.
July 19, 20222 yr October 16th confirmed as the air date for the special. Trailer due in the next few weeks
July 19, 20222 yr Ba bye Chibnall and Jodie!!! Worst Doctor Who era OF ALL TIME! And to thibk that it followed World and Time Enough :(
August 5, 20222 yr It's a Wordpress countdown so I'm not totally sure it's anything official but time will tell!
