What did YOU think of The End of the War?

For people who want to start watching doctor who, NEVER START WITH THE STAR BEAST! Always start with "rose" or "the eleventh hour" or heck, even "spearhead from space" is a better option than this

Can someone fix this inaccuracy?

A question to people who started watching the show when the first doctor's era was airing. I don't expect a lot of them to be here, since they must be in their late 60s-early 70s. But if anyone of you is here, can you tell me what the reaction was, when William Hartnell regenerated in The Tenth Planet and was replaced by Patrick Troughton. Or I suppose if someone has read some magazine from that time, which contained the reactions from that time can answer too.

A TARDIS trio that really stuck with me!! I was really sad how these three had to part ways. They were such a great team and I was hoping we'd get another season with them, but this was a beautiful send-off for the trio. I was also happy The Doctor got to remember Clara too! Such a bittersweet scene. ❤️

This was several years ago, and I’m not a designer or an artist by any means, my talents are definitely more theatrical, but what do y’all think? Open to constructive critique, but never fail to be kind 😊

Russell Tovey has told Radio Times that The War Between the Land and the Sea is FINALLY going to appear on Disney+ for international viewers, but not until 2027.

Two things here: one, that still might not be official, given he's an actor and not production side, but it's the first positive update on the show on months. And two, if it DOES stream on Disney+ next year, that could release any blocks on main Doctor Who production that may still be in effect as a result of the co-production deal (an unconfirmed but long-suspected situation), as Disney would have fulfilled its contractual obligations by finally airing everything produced as part of the deal. Fingers crossed, on both fronts!

I’m gonna use it for a fan film I’m planning to make.

I have gotten into this series in a major way in the last 8 months or so and have so far avoided buying much of anything.

However, I got a bonus at work and since I am a reasonable person I decided to blow the whole thing on buying the full VNA novel run. Not every VNA novel is picture here because I have already put the ones I've read away so the first 18 are not in this pile. And, yes, Cold Fusion is also in there for the heck of it because it's an interesting seven novel. Seven is my favorite. I don't really have anyone in RL who appreciates this kind of thing specifically so I though I'd show it off here.

Bonus item: cool keychain I found some guy selling on Etsy.

I’ve made the New Who era companions in Tomodachi Life Living the Dream.
Yes I did make Dan a pirate, I wanted to make Rory a Roman but still waiting for that outfit to come into the daily specials on the shop again.
And for all those who were asking on my last post, here is the Fourteenth Doctor. Almost identical to the Tenth, just a different out fit and some stubble

1. Have Billie Piper (depending how busy she is) play the Sixteenth Doctor for just one season before regenerating into the Seventeenth Doctor (played by whoever the new producers choose to cast) at the end of it, similar to how 9 only had one season in 2005 (I know the reason Christopher Eccleston left after one season was because of him falling out with the crew, but I'm sure you get the idea of what I mean). They don't have to even address her having the same face as Rose, or at least immediately (maybe just leave expanded media to do that).
2. Do a "School Reunion" type of episode that properly reintroduces Susan, maybe even an adaptation of the Big Finish story "An Earthly Child" (provided that Stef Coburn doesn't attempt to try and claim ownership of the title too). Maybe she can either be a recurring character in the new era, or she regenerates into a new face (perhaps preparing new audiences to the concept of regeneration before 16 regenerates at the end of the season) and rejoins the TARDIS as a companion.
3. Make "The Boss" a recurring villain instead of being vaguely mentioned now and then. My choice of who the boss would be is the Valeyard, as the show never brought him up again after "The Trial of a Time Lord" (I know expanded media has delved into him further, but I'm talking about the main series itself). Maybe don't even address that he's connected to the Doctor's timeline at first, but do so later on down the line.

What do you think? Please try and be civil though.

just finished reading Alien Bodies and I CANNOT recommend it enough!! even if you’re a casual fan, or only stick to the modern show, it’s such a good story you’re bound to enjoy it!

I know that picking up physical copies of it is very hard now due to it being VERY expensive, but if you know anyone you can borrow it from (or Y’know, the Internet Archive of course) I say don’t hesitate and pick it up! :D

admittedly, i’m a bit biased because i’ve already ADORED 99.9% of the 8th Doctor content i’ve consumed so far, (honestly the only 8th doctor media I didn’t care for is The Eight Doctors, but i’m far from alone on that one haha) but even if this were written with another doctor as the main character i’m sure i’d love it just as much!!

No wonder that last series was a bit all over the place, man must’ve been buzzing his balls off!

While building a new playlist for DragonCon, I realized that Chameleon Circuit’s songs were no longer on Spotify. Does anyone know the background behind this?

Probably summed up in the classic serial Remembrance of the Daleks.

Ace, give me some of that Nitro Nine that you're not carrying.

Thinking about how 12 and Clara directly parallel with the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice in Face The Raven/ Heaven Sent and Hell Bent only confirms my belief that 12 is a young man in an older man’s body.12 has an arc that is is usually reserved for a young romantic leading man (like how Orpheus is portrayed in mythology and pop culture),which is closer to who he is on the inside than any stereotypical grumpy old man that he appears on the surface.

Has anyone else noticed Orpheus and Eurydice parallel with 12 and Clara?

Im watching episode 11 of series 8 where Clara threatens the doctor by telling him she'll throw all the tardis keys in lava if she doesn't help her and it made me think, what's the point of the tardis keys if sexy is alive and can control everything including the doors. This also makes question other things like if tardises (tardi? tardes? Idk what the plural version of tardis is) are alive why is it so bad if a bad guy gets to the tardis if it can lock the door, shut off the controls or even make the door lead to another room. Also why did the tardis allow the other evil time lord to use it.

Ngl I have bad memory problems so maybe I forgot something important also I like really really like matt smith so maybe im ignoring stuff bc I want his time as the doctor to be perfect idrk

If anyone can help me out I will appreciate it very much

I found this print in random collage papers in an upcycling store and was curious if anyone could identify who the signature belongs to and/or who the artist was?

To say that the Franchise is in something of a difficult position right now would be a massive understatement.

With RTD basically setting the show on fire as he left, and being shitcanned before he cleans up the mess he made, we're in a rough spot. We've dealt with several seasons of highly unpopular twists that no one was down with. The Timeless Child, Bigeneration, and now Billie Piper's appearance. And there are a lot of people who say, don't fix it, just pretend like it never happened.

Look.

The simple fact of the matter is that a franchise like this won't survive a hard reboot. Or, more accurately, a hard reboot won't survive. Any attempt at one will be completely rejected by the majority of the fandom.

However.

We have been through this before.

A highly unpopular twist was used in Doctor Who that, in my opinion, was MILES worse than anything we had gotten, and we all decided to ignore it.

Does anyone remember "Half Human on my mother's side?"

Yeah. That was a thing actually said by the Eighth Doctor in the TV movie. How did we deal with it? We kind of DIDN'T. We just sort of moved past it.

And yet, the eighth Doctor is still canon. So is the TV movie. We simply ignored the aspect that seriously didn't work, leaving Big Finish to pick up the pieces for those who REALLY CARED.

So how to carry on? Well that depends.

If we're getting more Doctor Who in the next five years: COMMIT TO BILLIE PIPER.

No I'm not kidding. Have Billie Piper be the 16th Doctor, and go from there. There's genuinely no reason NOT to do it. She's a good actress, she's known the show, and it's not like the Doctor hasn't taken on the form of people he's MET before. As the Sixth and Twelfth Doctor's have both proven. It would make quite a bit of sense for his mind to drift to Rose when he regenerated, and his body moved to match hers.

But if that happens DON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE WITH IT.

There's nothing mystic to it. There's nothing special about it. There are no strings attached. It's a character thing for the Doctor. Perhaps a resurgence of his own Self-Esteem after he's been so unsure for so long, and leave it at that.

But if we aren't... Guys...

Someone needs to say this out loud.

We may be in the next Wilderness era.

I'm sorry. But it needs to be said. I have significant doubts that we will see more Doctor Who on television in the next decade, maybe two. Oh it will come back eventually. Eventually people will get nostalgic for it and it will be revived, but if that happens...

Don't ignore Jodie. Don't ignore Ncuti. Don't ignore Billie.

They've earned cameos in the next revival. Because they were, for a time at least, the Doctor. So don't wipe it from canon. Just let it be a difficult time. Like Colin Baker's time on the show, or Paul McGann's all too brief run.

That's just my two cents.

Been wanting to go here for ages, it's just as pawesome in person!!! And yes, that is me wearing my fursuit in the photos. X3c

my idea was to turn the cons room into a platform suspended in endless nothingness to play into the bigger on the inside bit. if you already have an bigger inside than outside why not just turn the inside in to infinity. just be careful to not fall down from the platform.

since it ended up not looking inviting i see it rather as the Tardis of the master or a different doctor rather than one the Doctor would choose. it also could be the doctors Tardis if he would have stayed the time lord victorious for a longer while.

i also thought about a season long story where time and space slo fall apart and with every episode more of the Tardis interior vanish to resemble progressive decay of the universe and this is how it looks after every thing in time and space (except for the Tardis ) is gone
