the show with those little trash cans that say EXTERMINATE a lot

i'm part of the way through series 10 in my started-as-a-rewatch-but-is-now-in-brand-new-territory. twelve might be my favorite doctor? he's so cool. this very well might be recency bias, but he may be the doctor with the most consistently Good Episodes...? but we'll see. heaven sent is an all time great episode though.

Has anyone listened to any Big Finish audios? If so, what are some of your favorites? I really liked The Chimes of Midnight and The Fearmonger. I haven't listened to the broader scope of them since they can run you so high, but I like what I've listened to so far

@ umbrella --- i've listened to a few! the marian conspiracy and doctor who and the pirates. my gf really likes the six & evelyn stuff. i gotta agree. they're pretty fun together. (also doctor who and the pirates is pretty much tailor made for me.)

I want my Doctor Who to have 14 episode seasons and the budget of a bad CW superhero show again, and I'm not afraid to say it.

"Homestuck? What's that? I only know about the hit television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine which ran for 7 seasons in syndication between 1993 and 1999. If you want to discuss whatever Homestuck is, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong gent, buster! Come to me when you're ready to talk about the deep romantic tension between Odo and Quark."

The Plot MacGuffin

And you should say it, because it's true. Longer seasons make for better storytelling both episodically and seasonally and allows for the hype to be more spread out for each episode. The move towards smaller, higher-budgeted seasons has harmed a lot of different series, not just Doctor Who.

re: The Plot MacGuffin - so true! practical effects my beloved. grungy and imperfect effects my beloved. we need to go back to the welsh quarries and the visible green screen and the charity shop costumes.


re: Arashi - indeed. longer seasons would enable plot development to be more believable and the pacing to not be so breakneck. doctor who IS at its best with longer seasons.

I'm currently at series 5, and 11th just took the first two episodes to instantly become my favorite itineration of The Doctor. I love his whimshical silliness mixed with the anger and experience of a thousand years old being. It just encapsulates perfectly how it should be for me. (Even though I have only seen three doctors as of now).


I'm really excited to see 11th and 12th runs, since I love the first one and the second one seems to be the second most beloved after 10th in the fandom.
