One of the things I love about Blink is that it could have been made at any point in cinematic history. No one really thought to do it for some reason.

Yasmin Finney (Netflix series “Heartstopper”) is joining the cast of “Doctor Who” in the role of the Doctor’s companion Rose - but Rose's surname has not been confirmed yet. Initial leak said "Rose Temple Noble" but some sites are now reporting she's "Rose Tyler"...

Yup, read the same. This is what makes me a bit nervous about RTD. I am grateful he brought the show back but his own writing was patchy at best. Will this be Back to the Future or rehashes and retcons?

Probably not worth a new thread, so I'll necro the most recently active.

Jodie Whitaker's finale as the Doctor is set to air in a remarkably imminent 15 days from time of writing on 23rd October.

Looking forward to it. It'll be nice to catch up with both Tegan and Ace, at the very least.

I think that's the anniversary which is next year? This is just Jodie's swansong, and presumably setting up to feed into that. Which begs the question what'll happen over Christmas?

Scottish actor Gatwa, who was born in Rwanda, is best known for starring in Netflix's sitcom Sex Education.



I really don't know about this, it seems a radical departure from the traditional Doctor.

I mean a woman, OK, I could accept that change, but I really don't know if I can accept the new actor.

Seriously, a Scottish Doctor?

Dr. Who really needs to hit the grave for another decade or two. It went well beyond it's best by date about three doctors ago.

'Doctor Who' to become a Disney+ Exclusive in 2023, Leaving BBC America Behind in New Deal -- SyFy Wire

Disney announced Tuesday morning that it will be the new home for upcoming seasons of the classic BBC science fiction series in the United States and around the world, a major streaming acquisition for a streaming service that's already home to major franchises like the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars. Ncuti Gatwa, who will play the Fifteenth Doctor on the series, confirmed the news during an appearance on Live with Kelly and Ryan this morning, according to a Disney press release.

The Power Of The Doctor was excellent.

Whilst yes it still has handwavium solutions, everything else was great fun. And finally. Not far off 33 years to the day, we got to say goodbye to Ace. Properly.

That worked for me. And in terms of Musical Master, infinitely preferable to John Sims’ god awful outing with the insipid Voodoo Child. A crap song utterly unrelated to what was unfolding. You know the episode. The one which suggested ancient Time Lords look like reborn Voldemort and Dobby had some fun round the back of Hogwart’s bike sheds.

Probably the best moment up to the last 10 minutes. The rest somehow felt both rushed and tedious at the same time. I was waiting for someone to actually do something other than stand around passively in the face of threats and enemy action.
The 'static electricity' moments were obviously telegraphing something, but it was basically the opposite of what I thought, and way less interesting (i was thinking robot doubles but wasn't sure who had been doubled).

The end bothers me a little, just because it feels like a half-measure reconciliation with the fans who left. Push the (12 year?) nostalgia button and see if the lost audience comes running back.

Efficiency is the highest virtue.

I’m still dubious, as to me it feels like RTD thumbing his nose at the other show runners.

Genuinely hope I’m wrong, and happy to be proven so.
