Doctor Who- returns for series whatever it is 11/5/24 | The Grand Moff is back!

I had to pause it when they mentioned multiverses.

It's so horrifically bad. Seemingly leading up to something but when you don't care about half of the characters and it constantly bounces from place to place leaving you very little time to breathe. And when it does stay in one place it bores the hell out of you.

And what a quote it is.

One episode of the series to go and I still don't know who Skeletor is or his motivation.

Prediction

I’m not sure the writers know either

I still don't have a good read on Jodie Whittiker's Doctor either.

It’s the people acting as if the multiverse is new to who that I feel bad for. Little do they know what they’re setting themselves up for

I glossed over it thinking it would probably be proved to be bs spouted by the villain to con the Doctor , if this turns out not to be the case then I will comment on it.

Just in case no one has ever seen this.

The child was found under a wormhole. So its been pretty much the case for a whole series now. Wouldnt be surprised if the child turned out to be Vinder and Bels baby or something at this rate.

Oh for sure it just made me laugh/irritated that all those years they had one kicking about when it might have been handy. Especially as 3 was stranded on Earth.
What about Kate knowing about a baddie alien in charge and then just going home? Her father would be spinning in his cybergrave.
As ever I think Mr. Ellard finds some points and puts it better then me.

his dialogue in that video did make me realize why his stuff feels more like bad fan fiction, beyond making his own original characters so much better than all the established ones. its this thing where he seems to think improving the series means making it more generic which is what every fan does when they offer to improve the story.

I thought that was said in the last series when talking about her being the shitty child.

Was there a reason given as to why they needed to go to the Great Wall of China to do this?

The Great Wall can be seen from space (not actually true), so a message next to it also can be seen?

But not seen by anybody until the exact moment the dog guy had to see it for plot reasons. Even though he can't time travel.

It all makes perfect sense.

And will ultimately be meaningless when through the time tunnels that are also there for plot convenience

Has it been confirmed if RTD is doing a series in between the 60th anniversary and Whittaker's regeneration? It seems rough for new Doctor's first episode to be the presumably multi-Doctor 60th special.

Not so far

The wording of the announcement doesn’t preclude a series leading up to the 60th anniversary. I suppose it depends on how swiftly casting and production ramp up.

With any luck they're leaving the 60th anniversary to RTD and he's going to resurrect Torchwood as a result. The *sigh* multiverse excuse would easily explain how S3 and S4 are somehow show canon and yet nobody seems to mention kids being shipped off to space or the earth secretly having a massive vagina.

It all happened in a parallel reality, Ianto is still alive and they're making a season 5.
