Tee hee, anyone seen the censored version of the Doctor Whore XXX parody on Youtube? Woefully bad, but charming.

David Tennant's era is going to be reran on Disney XD in the States.

Really? How odd. BBC America already has the rights to all those episodes and a lot more. Why did Disney XD get a license for just those episodes? Why couldn't BBC America keep an exclusive contract? How confusing will it be for viewers to get just that portion of the episodes without knowing what comes before and what comes after?

Just showing those episodes also sets the dangerous precedent of people thinking of David Tennant as the only "real" Doctor, which could eventually bring an end to the current popularity of the show (since he's been gone for years).

I would much rather see Disney XD get the very underrated Sarah Jane Adventures, which never got an airing beyond Season 1 here in the States, or K9, which only got one airing on the SyFy Channel on Christmas opposite a DW marathon on BBC America.

Funny enough, that K-9 series was actually aired on Disney XD in the UK

hmmm, trailer looks a little meh. I like Capaldi as an actor, but I don't like him as the Doctor, and I think Series 8 was a big step backwards. This looks like an even bigger step back. I hope I'm wrong.

I'm going to assume that aspect ratio has something to do with screens being wider at comic-con, cause it looks terribly composed and clearly cropped. And dear god, the coloring is awful. I can barely see anything that's going on. The contrast and saturation is overcranked quite a bit. Just really hoping this is not what these episodes will look like. Often trailers are expected to not have final coloring, so this is probably not a big deal.

Despite this, looks exciting to me. Wondering who Maisie Williams is at the end though, makes it sound like someone we've seen before.

I've been waiting for the trailer, and the premiere date (Sep. 19th!), for a long time, so I'm not gonna complain too much. It's a good trailer - not a great one. They probably don't want to reveal a whole lot of surprises, so it's just kind of quick and subdued.

Of course, the "old man" comment by the guest star in that last shot is meant to make the Internet go crazy. Is it Jenny, the Doctor's daughter? Or is it his granddaughter Susan? Maybe both answers are too obvious, and it's deliberate misdirection, but I'd be happy with either one being true.

So, anyway, good trailer if not a great one.

This trailer, however, for the Doctor's appearance in LEGO Dimensions, is a lot more exciting, visually impressive, and just all-around entertaining!

http://nerdist.com/doctor-who-invades-lego-dimensions-in-new-trailer-and-screenshots/

Things that jump out at me:

--The Doctor interacting with Batman and Gandalf! Technically, it's their interpretations from The LEGO Movie, but that was a terrific film, so I'm not complaining. Wyldstyle from that film is also here and in good form.

--At 0:52, you can see the Doctor riding alongside Scooby-Doo and Shaggy.

--Homer Simpson also makes an appearance, but I didn't catch the time on it.

--At 0:56, the Doctor is standing next to (gasp) Doc Brown! I've been desperate for a Doctor Who/Back to the Future crossover this year (I was hoping Christopher Lloyd would show up in the Christmas special), but I figured there was little to no chance of it happening. But, hey, now we're getting something! And they probably recorded dialogue that's meant to go together. How awesome is that?

--You can play as any of the versions of the Doctor! Another article I read (linked below) explained that while only Capaldi created new dialogue, the other actors' dialogue was sampled so they could be included as well. Your TARDIS interior will also change based on which Doctor you're playing as.

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/every-doctor-who-is-playable-in-lego-dimensions-bu/1100-6428732/

Anyway, consider me very excited for this project!

(Edited to correct the date I put, and to mention Homer Simpson.)

Mysterious. Capaldi seems much more comfortable with the role. Or maybe it's the writers.

In other news! The Ten Doctors, Part 4 is complete after all these years!



Parts 1-3 for the uninitiated:

Cool stuff, matrix! As with Parts 1-3, Part 4 moves so quickly that it's not entirely clear in spots what is going on, even with the ample additional dialogue. But it almost doesn't matter, because Stuart Humphryes's imagination and dedication shine through regardless, and it feels good to finally have a resolution to the story, even if a fairly important part of it (perhaps of necessity) is from The Day of the Doctor. Some of the vocal recreations are just passable, but K-9 and (I think, though I'm not as versed in his era as I probably should be, so I can't point out specific lines of dialogue) 10 are excellent.

I'd love a behind the scenes video for the whole story, especially since I'm very intrigued about where Laurence Olivier and Anthony "Ehtar" Higgins fit into things; I think I missed them on this initial viewing.

Laurence Olivier was

And here's a summary by BabelColour himself.


The evil Doctor was created when The Moment was deployed to end the Time War. It not only destroyed Gallifrey but tore the fabric of reality, splintering the Doctor into an alternative evil version. He shares the Doctors mind and realises that there is an alternative way of ending the war, in which Gallifrey is frozen and The Moment is un-deployed. He has to stop this. If The Moment is un-deployed he will not be created, so he sets about ensuring the Doctor never has the opportunity to go back and change things. He does this by effectively deleting the Doctor from time. He kidnaps the first two incarnations from time. However, there are a couple of niggley anomalies which have escaped deletion – the second Doctor was lifted from his time-stream in ‘The Three Doctors’ and therefore escaped when his timeline was erased. Similarly, the first incarnation once visited Cardiff and was protected from abduction by The Rift. Therefore, to mop these anomalies up, the evil Doctor poses as the Time Lord President to coax the others to retrieve them… They “rescue” the first and second Doctors as instructed, but realise that the Time Lord President is an imposter, as he is not broadcasting from Gallifrey. His signal is being bounced around the galaxy to hide its point of origin. They trace it to the planet Raston where they uncover a portal to a dark dimension in which the bad Doctor is hiding. They confront their evil counterpart and reveal that it was all a double bluff to locate him, instigated by their eleventh incarnation. Now they know where he is lurking they can return their captured timelines to their rightful places in time and space and defeat the baddie…. But it is a double-double bluff. The evil Doctor has already begun the absorption. He has already erased the Doctor’s first regenerative cycle from time. Events are being rewritten, the Doctor’s past is changing. He has forgotten that he ever had a previous life-cycle. There are brief snatches of memory in the earlier incarnations – but everything is in flux. The Twelfth Doctor arrives on the scene and, with k-9’s help, immobilises the evil Doctor with a time-dam, giving them enough time to prevent the Moment being used to end the Time War and thus prevent the evil Doctor from ever being created. By changing the outcome of the War they re-write their own personal history. The bad Doctor is erased. Hooray.

Oddly, Part Two seems to be only available in 480, while the other three are all 720?

The Magician's Apprentice.... no comments yet?

Warning... Mild SPOILERS.....

While the internet had already spoiled the young Davros reveal for me, I thought the opening act was excellent and creepy, with a strong classic Who vibe.

The freezing of planes was cool and I am really loving Missy this time around. So deliciously Evil Mary Poppins!
Though I thought they really dropped the ball by not having some sort of reaction or comment by Stewart upon seeing Missy, who killed her daughter last year.

I am a continuity porn addict, so I loved the two big scenes -- one in UNIT hq and Davros lair. And since I am not intimately familiar with all of Whoverse, it makes me want to explore more old eps.... the comment of three different Atlantis locations made me very curious.... any help on that one for me my hardcore Whovians?

The whole rock guitar and tank scene... I dunno... wacky for wacky's sake? Who drove the tank out? Is the tank still there?

Davros looked amazing! Best version thus far.

The last act, like most Moffatt eps, felt over loaded and rushed.... the "deaths" of Missy and Clara was poorly done and lacked any real dramatic impact. Yes, of course they are not dead, but the scene should have had more power to them to balance the Doctor's reaction.

So predictions for next week's conclusion? Reset Button theories? The Doctor is just faking as Missy & Clara's deaths were all part of his plan? Or the Doctor does kill young Davros and makes the Universe worse? This could be cool if they played it out over the course of the season and then goes back and corrects it in the season finale? Or the Doctor takes young Davros on as a companion trying to reeducate the boy?

On a whole, I thought it was a much better opening episode than last season and next week's teaser has me very intrigued....

It would have been nice to have just had a simple self-contained adventure to open the series, rather than going straight into a convoluted multi-part Moffat plot but it was decent enough... so long as episode two explains what the hell was going on ;-).

It was very cool the way the opening scene was shot just like the opening to Genesis of the Daleks, with the similar colour-grade, mist and costumes all matching up. That did of course spoil the Davros surprise though for anybody who connected the visual refrence but still cool beans. It even cleverly played in a clip of Genesis to contrast the new story.

Oh sh*t I just noticed another cool visual continuity move...

The original 1963 Dalek city on Skaro looks similar to the new rendering...

An embarrassingly bad start to the season. After a creepy pre credits sequence, things soon started to fall apart when Missy turned up spouting some truly cringe worthy dialogue and changing accents every few sentences just because... Well... Just because... No there's no reason at all really. The guitar scene was one of the worst scenes in the show's history... Truly hold your head in your hands time. And, Moffat oversteps the mark big time with that distasteful dog bollocks reference.

Truly a disaster of an episode. Terribly written, over the top, and just plain embarrassing
