Doctor Who - The Regeneration Edition - Part 14

[Wesley Dodds]

The Master: "Too late, my dear Doctor! Your cunning, sonic screwdriver, and plucky young human cannot save you this time! I am the Master, and all will obey me!"

The Doctor:

The Master: "NOOOOOO!!!!!" [fades away]

Not quite what I was imagining. Apparently, he's actually written some Doctor Who comics already for 6 and 7.

Spoiler

Plus, there's that news from a couple years ago that he apparently had mutual friends reach out to Moffat and Gatiss.

So you never know.

On another note, an outline or two for some new Series 8 monsters... but it still keeps Capaldi's outfit a secret. Dammit!

Clearly, they're not allowed to even hint at the outfit at all. Because that toy has the same silhouette as Matt's suit (frock coat and pinrolled trousers).

 

[Hyde]

Grant Morrison can stay at home, though. Nobody wants a completely abstract episode of Doctor Who in which nothing makes sense unless you think of things in an entirely meta-fictional context.

Does Morrison write the current Superman/Batman comics? They're very abstract and I really have no idea what the **** is going on but they're cool. That style would work well with the show.

good to see he'll have a long coat

Clearly, they're not allowed to even hint at the outfit at all. Because that toy has the same silhouette as Matt's suit (frock coat and pinrolled trousers).

I don't think that's Matt's suit, because it's likely that Capaldi's will be very similar. He rocks that way better than Smith did (he'd probably wear the tweed and bow tie pretty well too) so I can't see them straying too far from that for his costume

I saw Scream of the Shalka the other day. The TARDIS control room and Robot Master amused me but other than that wasn't all that impressed.

I think the boots and trouser bottoms show that it is Matt's costume. I can't imagine that detail being copied across to Capaldi's outfit.

 

[Pink Ranger]

The Rock gave him lessons?

He gave The Rock lessons! #timetravel

He also taught Stone Cold how to drink and taught Ryback both of his wrestling moves.

 

[Raiden]

God, now I want JMS to write an episode. Get Neil Gaiman in next season too. And get Warren Ellis, if he promises to tone it down a smidge. And bring back Paul Cornell. Is Peter David a fan? I want all my favorite comic book writers in this thing.

No Frank Miller please.

 

[Manic]

No Frank Miller please.

I said "my favorite comic book writers" not "overrated, over the hill hacks who only got famous because they inundated their comics with dourness and grit during a transitional phase in comic book storytelling."

I’m going to recycle some old jokes, that most of you haven’t read yet who don’t follow wrestling:

If They Wrote A Who

Rob Liefeld: The need to put additional bulging veins on Capaldi’s neck and face bankrupts the show’s FX budget

Mark Millar: #10 and Captain Jack finally make it official and get married in Belgium; they continue to have adventures where they accidentally blow up entire planets of innocent people week after week

Frank Cho: Every episode ends with Clara washing a car in the nude

Grant Morrison: Every episode ends with Strax washing a car in the nude

Frank Miller: The show starts featuring so many broken-down prostitutes it is mistakenly placed on the TLC fall schedule

Kevin Smith: Every future episode consists only of the Doctor and his companions smoking weed in a morgue and discussing what they liked best about old Dr. Who episodes

Alan Moore: The clever, witty quintessentially English science fiction hero is re-imagined as a gritty, shaven-headed badass in a black leather coat (oh, wait &#8230

Gail Simone: To make a powerful feminist statement about the role of strong women in modern society, she has Amy, Rose and Martha engage in a lesbian orgy for an entire episode. Registration in women’s studies programs skyrocket across the globe.

No he doesn't. I love Grant Morrison, but I don't think I'd like to see a Doctor Who story by him, he's the kind of writer who writes with the stakes being absolute, so he'd be better for something like the Day of the Doctor, which took all the Doctors' to save Gallifrey.

I don't think that's Matt's suit, because it's likely that Capaldi's will be very similar. He rocks that way better than Smith did (he'd probably wear the tweed and bow tie pretty well too) so I can't see them straying too far from that for his costume

It's almost certainly Matt's suit. As of last week, Capaldi's hadn't been finalised (so even making a prototype figure of it would be unlikely), some of the details are too similar (the pinrolled trousers and boots). Also, Peter is picking his own outfit, we know he was going shopping in October for it, so I can't see him doing that for months and then just going "Nah, I'll wear what the last guy did".

That's an unfair assessment of Gail Simo--

*remembers Birds of Prey*

...carry on.

 

[Manic]

I'm just saying, I don't want to see the Doctor have to kill a Dalek by shooting it with a special Dalek-killing bullet while Clara tricks Death itself into running into said Dalek, only for the Doctor to have to sing an anti-Dalek song at it to finish the job. And then Barry Allen comes back.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. It's stupid for a superhero comic to have characters that can be killed by one radioactive chemical compound.


Wait....

 

[Pink Ranger]

And The Doctor has to berate his companions and say "I'm The Goddamn Doctor" every few scenes.

With Capaldi, that might actually be the case.

Cho - That'd surpass the Sam Jones in a wet T gag from the early EDAs

Moore - So, Alan Moore's a Time Lord?

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Frank Miller's writing+Peter Capaldi being Peter Capaldi go hand and hand.

More like 9 I think was the reference.

He's not to come within a million yards from Who after killing off Jamie in The World Shapers

 

[Pink Ranger]

Moore - So, Alan Moore's a Time Lord?

In his own mind, yes. For the past 26 years.

 

[Kirmit]

I wonder what the new screwdriver will look like and what colour they'll go for this time.

Don't get me started on that mess. Damn you Black Racer for chasing him out to the wrong direction!!

 

[Jason Kane]

In his own mind, yes. For the past 26 years.

So, he thinks he's the Doctor (well One anyway) while Morrison's the Master.

Morrison: Hello, you!*
Moore: **** off!
