It was all there and I was so ready for it to happen, and then it just didn't.

Could the alternate universe Third Doctor from Inferno work as a modern Who villain? It was a 3rd Doctor 70's story in an alternate universe where every makn character has a shown evil doppelganger but The Doctor. That'd be a narrative way to bring in Sean Pertwee as a different version of 3?

Meanwhile, fans did think that Davros became the Emperor Dalek; following when he served as the Emperor in Remembrance of the Daleks, there was a Big Finish audio called Terror Firma which was released just after Series 1 was where Davros ended up developing an emperor personality due to his mental state then. Also, Donna was stated as being the one who died as her memories of her time with the Doctor were wiped so that version of her was dead. I also think that it sucks that the only Time Lords from the Classic Series to appear in the Revived Series are the Doctor and the Master with no other recurring or guest ones even being mentioned apart from Susan (who definitely should've returned) and they're all sadly believed to have died during the war. I also didn't expect any of these things to happen, though my family have a feeling that Mrs. Flood is going to be someone of importance.

Good point. I’ve thought of that too. Although I wonder if the fact that the Doctor saw the tombstone with their names in NY means they had to stay there. Or at least be buried there? I dunno. There’s a lot of ways around this problem if we think about it too hard
@@MrTambourineMan. Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey. Besides, we literally saw them rewrite time a few minutes before their demise-ish, so why not do it again?
The two parter which started with her saying she had died was the end of series two, #5 references the prophecy about a companion dying during the events of the end of series 4. Which the death of Jack fulfilled.
I still think that the woman we see dropping baby Ruby off at the church ISN'T her mother. As we've all said, the hooded cape was hardly normal teenage gear for 2004, and doesn't that pointing finger look older? So here's my 2+2=9 jump. Mrs Flood was the woman that Ruby's mother turned to for help when she gave birth, the woman who said she'd make sure Ruby was looked after, and who has shadowed her every since. And now that Ruby has found her mother, Mrs Flood has to leave, or she'll be recognised. So there's she is, bag packed, on the roof of Ruby's house, with the snow falling wearing a hooded cape. Of course we don't know who Mrs Flood is yet. Kindly backstreet midwife making sure Ruby is well? Evil Supplier of baby food to the Goblin King, thwarted by the Doctor's meddling in time? Or someone or something from RTD's fertile imagination? But I can't help but feel that she's the important person surrounding Ruby's birth, NOT her father or mother.
I love that theory! I wish their was some reference to that, like a reference to a kindly neighbor who volunteered to help, and they put everything into motion, being the one under the cloak. Makes so much sense! He did say there was more Ruby stuff! Hopefully it won't be like season 1 where fan ideas are better than what we actually get.
Dalek Caan's prophecy did not specify biological death, so Donna's loss of memories - a form of identity death - does technically fulfill the prophecy. Of course, he could have been referring to Jack who did die and then came back... And died and came back, over and over again.
Series 1-4 is the best use of The Daleks in NuWho. It’s clear RTD had a plan from the start. One Dalek introduced halfway through series 1. The finale we were so sure Davros would return but instead it was the Emporer Dalek. Then we got a fake-out on millions of Daleks in S2. Then the cult of Skaro were the main daleks for the remaining seasons until FINALLY we got Davros in the epic S4 finale.
He would love to but dislikes most of the people running the ship, especially RTD, his original show runner for his 1 season. Sad we never even got a Christmas special with him 😭
Stil say there's something going on with Ruby's mother. The computer made a little "frrrrtz" noise just before the name of Ruby's mother came up in the DNA database. There was some kind of switcheroo.
My interpretation was that the TARDIS enshrouded her identity using it's perception filter, to create a mystery that would esnare Sutekh crating the wiggle room for the Doctor to beat him, with the other things, such as the snow and the music being a consequence of Sutekh's interest in the mystery, as is otherwise theorised.
@@medafan53 While plausible from a story perspective, from an audience perspective it's still an unsatisfactory dramatic conclusion. Which is what leads me to hope there's more to it.
The show may have barely touched the surface on the Time War, but the audio dramas are full of Time War stories including Once & Future where the Doctor gets shot with a degeneration weapon during the Time War and keeps flickering through incarnations and each episode of that series is basically a mystery adventure!
My only critism is that Once and Future should've had more of an overarching plot rather than the Doctor degenerating at the start and end and look for one clue that only leads to the next one. Like, the consequences of the villain's action shouldve been felt throughout the whole set (not just in "Time Lord Immemorial") given its such a universal scale. And the degeneration itself needed a bigger sense of urgency than it had, like in the finale.
@@MrSukram777 the series itself is part of the overarching Time War Era and it was also made for the 60th anniversary so there was a large element of fan service to it as well! The events of “Time Lord Immemorial” was pretty much all you needed to show the severe consequences of the degeneration across Time Lord society as a whole and the multiverse too! And the “The Union” concluded it fantastically I think! We still have “Coda: The Final Act” still to go which will further go into the consequences of The Union’s actions and The War Doctors absence while he was going through the degeneration crisis! I’m also intrigued to see how Jo Martin handles the high quality Big Finish scripts and playing a character on audio for the first time that she previously played on screen because voice acting always provides new challenges for actors especially those who’s on screen acting is more physical!
@@MrSukram777 I don’t see why not! She was a great villain! Ultimately The Union and all his/her incarnations are just ultimately a very unfortunate being suffering from a condition they couldn’t help with all their past incarnations living on! That would drive anyone mad! You really can’t HATE The Union!
Her mother is the great intelligence. It changed its form to a woman to decrease suspicion then accidentally fell in love and boom. Child. Hence why she can just cause snow. Which i bet will be shown to be based on her emotions. Thats my theory anyway. Seems bit to easy tho Edit" also fits the... MESSAGE.
At the risk of getting too nerdy in my dog knowledge (but, hey, you brought it up 😅), the Sutekh "dog" in the season finale was definitely not a Greyhound. Sutekh's dog-form is, actually, a much more appropriate, giant Pharaoh Hound. 🐕 (If you're curious to know how you can tell, it's simply that Greyhounds don't have ears that stick up like that but, Pharaoh Hounds do... and also, duh, of course he's a Pharaoh Hound! 😂)
Great video! To be fair I was pretty satisfied with the way ruby's mother turned out to be an ordinary woman, I personally feel like sutekh had a bit of involvement with ruby being able to make it snow, he wanted to find out who her mother was so desperately that he may have been trying to force the fifteenth doctor and ruby to revisit those memories and discover who her mother was. I'm really looking forward to seeing if they'll be a further mystery surrounding her father! Thanks Sean and Who Culture! 😊😊
Having had time to process Empire of Death, I've worked it out. After the disruption and changes to time by the Goblins and the Doctor, that night on Ruby Road became raw and open in time, so post-disruption Ruby, because of being emotionally tied to that night, whenever she thought about it deeply, that allowed her to bring that night into the present, because time is memory and memory is time, a time machine to the past, which is why Ruby could make it snow and why the choir singing from the Church was audible, she was a time window to that night in 2004. Because of all of this, whenever Ruby engaged in the mystery of her abandonment, birth, and birth parents, she unintentionally gave that mystery greater importance, changing time, the first time this happened was halfway through Space Babies. When she deeply thought about and engaged in that mystery, she unintentionally changed time because of being a time window + time being memory and memory being time, which added a lamppost with a sign of the street name behind the Doctor, making Louise turn around and point at it to name her baby. Which could’ve been a dream Ruby had once, or story she invented in her head when she was growing up, and so when she became a time window + time being memory and memory being time, that allowed her invented story of her birth mother naming her to become real. So originally, before the meddling of the Goblins, there was no lamppost and Louise didn’t turn back and point, those were changes to time by Ruby after that night became raw and open because of the Goblins.
It's a fantastic human nature analogy, Ruby's mother was important because we *made* her important, RTD used the nature of Who fans (edit:) to do so. It shows us that we as human beings are what make things important by deciding they are and that anything can be important. This also harkens back to 11 saying "Important... I've never met anybody who isn't important."
@@psoma_brufd I completely agree. Growing up, because she was a completely unknown person with an unknown face, Ruby would’ve been inventing all kinds of stories and myths about who her birth mother was and why she left her outside of a church, and so when that night became raw and open, thus Ruby becoming a window back to that time, with time being memory and memory being time, she unintentionally brought these myths and stories she created about her birth mother to life, which is such a cool and fascinating idea, I love it.
I think her mother being normal would be a perfectly fine inversion of expectations if they either showed us an explanation for the snow or had the doctor also be confused about the snow and leave it as a potential mystery or 'mystery for now.' Just forgetting you had Ruby pulling supernatural stunts and acting as if we and Sutekh invented the importance of who she is doesn't really resolve that loose end.
It's always a good day when I hear Sean's dulcet tones! We've all seen that picture of Sean Pertwee dressed as the Third Doctor, we all know he'd totally be up for playing a Doctor. Doesn't have to to be 3, they could do a 10/14 and have Sean play the 16th but be a new character that looks a lot like 3 but be a completely different Doctor. Find a time that he's free and just get it done BBC, we all want to see Sean be a Doctor! (Niche reference, but also have him repair the TARDIS, then have it blow up and get Sean to say, "But I just finished putting it back together!" Hehehe!) Re the Rani, it's not that Michele Gomez was bad as Missy/Master, she was brilliant, it's that most of us who remember the Rani back in the 80's really, REALLY want to see her back! Kate O'Mara was so good in the role that many of us loved to hate the Rani! It'd be fantastic to see a modern incarnation of her and I'll never stop hoping it'll happen!
One thing that sticks out to me with sutekh is how it was interweaved into the tardis, sooooo in the specials finale when they duplicate the tardis, one for both doctors, so surely sutekh will be in the other one too
There who still want David Tenant to return. They just can't let the 14th retire in peace. I will accept Tenant back as as only one character ... THE MASTER. Make a mixture of Kilgrave and the nasty side of Crowley.
I think we had enough with the 14th doctor, as much as I enjoy him and Donna together. It was a good ending. But they could have made Michael sheen the master for one of those specials. Oh man, that would have been amazing!
I was so pissed with the end of the last season. It could have been EPIC! Alas a major 'god' got deestroyed by a bungie cord... no answer about the snow and the cloaked woman was just a normal lady!?!
I wish Matt Smith returned instead of Tennant(I love him but the people who stopped watching after his era piss me the fuck off) he is and always has been overrated rtd 2 proves that David’s acting carried series 2 and 3 series 4 is perfect though
I agree, I didn't watch DW when Tennat was, I didn't know it existed until Smith. And Tennant is Overrated, Series 4 is his only Great Series. And I wanted others not Tennant to be the Regeneration, because he had a Full time compaired to: 6 who got fired, 7 the show got canceled on, and 8 who was going to bring back the show and has the least Screen Time!!!
There have been several references to The Terrible Zodin, but I doubt she'll make a live-action appearance. I'm looking at the tardis wiki and the references would be hard to line up consistently.
My expectations are actully pretty low for Doctor Who, Jody's series took it out of me, she was a grwat actor but...well the episodes were boring, it was so slow and completely screwed up the lore...and I HATED the first anniversary episode and didn't care for the next but damn the Toy Maker I fuckin LOVED, I can't get over how good that episode was buut after seeing the new Tardis I lost interest again coz its such a boring interior Jody's interior sucked sorry butvit was my least favorite interior out of all the ones I've seen...I probably woulda watched it if I didn't see what Gatwa said on Twitter coz I did like his doctor abd maybe I'll watch it someday, and yes I'm usally stay away from all that cringe twitter shit and just my watch my apolitical stuff coz I despise politics but some one I watch brought up his tweet and I lost all my interest
Oh, they should totally try to get hold of Sean Pertwee and anyone related to previous doctors, villains and companions that they can. I'm not predicting that anyone else will meet their future spouse, but it would be interesting.
What about the fact that loiuse looks qnd sounds like Sheridan Smith, and has the same surname and age as Lucy miller? A bit suspicious. I think she's an avatar for Mrs Flood, like how Susan Triad was one for Sutekh.
I also think Belinda Chandra will be an avatar for the trickster, because she's got the same surname as Rani from SJA, and Verada Sethu hqs already appeared in Boom, so she could be another Susan Triad. It's all about traps for the doctor.
The funny thing is, the female Master is the best one since the one from the Tennant era who was also Prime Minister. John Simm or something? Sure, maybe the Rani would've been equally as good or better? Or maybe not. But she did great in that role, regardless. I'd be way more upset if they suddenly made a female Batman... or Penguin or something for example. Oh wait, they did. For no reason. And there was a perfectly good Black Queen they could've used instead. They also called her Oswald at one point? So maybe she's trans? Which feels kinda weird for the time period, but it is technically fictional so it doesn't have to be as bad as real life was back then, I guess. And yet I'm only upset enough to point it out lol. This is me "way more upset" but I'm basically not. It definitely makes less sense than a species that can regenerate at least a dozen times, though, suddenly gaining or losing a chromosome lol
HE told us that "EVERY Doctor Who Story in any medium is to be consicered canon - somehow", but then disregards "The Tenth Doctor's Adventures - year two" from Titan Comics (a bit more official than the Doctor Who Magazine stuff) which runs a whole Anubis - Sutekh story-arc, with old Anubis looking rather like the "newly invented tv-monster" and the masked Sutekh being held in limbo, since he "side-stepped" the trap of the 4th Doctor. But some Splinter-Sutekhs as backup security are able to use the body of his son Anubis to get access to our universe again. The mask seemed to belong to the prison equipment and they had to colour the speach bubbles differnetely to discern between splinter Sutekh in Anubis body (red) and original Sutekh from the tv-episode (green) to let the reader know who was speaking at any given moment. He nearly killed his own son, by trying to return to our universe, but got banished again, because one of the characters sacrificed herself. And poor old Anubis got rejuvenated back to some handsome teenage "dog-face" and travelled with the TARDIS-team under the name of Noobis. It was a great story for an old monster, why try this fantasy version of the "mavity universe" - is it a state of dream, created by the Toymaker? How else could a "remembered TARDIS" even fly? Now we have the original TARDIS with her coffee allergy, the juke-box TARDIS by the "one wish too many" from the Toymaker's mallet and a memory TARDIS of all and everything that "could have happened", with a memory Sutekh clinging to her scanner-eye (i.e. the top light). Is this terrible monster even real, or just a possibility, if the 4th Doctor had failed in his plans? 1066 happened a season before the Doctor even encountered the Toymaker, how is it possible for Sutekh to plant his harbingers of death even there??? Some sloppy memories for such an encyclopedic fan-boy - or some hidden twist to be revealed in the 5th season of our current Doctor IF you let him proceed thus far...🥳🧐
What's funny about people thinking every high profile actress is The Rani is that now a lot of people think Mrs. Flood is The Rani.
Rani = Rain = Flood. Doesn't work you say? Well as RTD conveniently said in the finale... it was the wrong anagram!
@@TheMoodbeam I do kinda like the theory. I was just pointing out how another mysterious female character is being theorized to be The Rani.

He didn't want to fill in his Father's shoes. Which is fair enough.

@LisaBeta-42 then they should talked of war movies and war games that is stupid thing to say
In #1, what was the "casting choice of Norman Lovett" about? I don't see him in Dr Who in IMDB.
Missed you Sean
Peter Capaldi returning to Doctor Who. Another moment fans are waiting for but probably wont ever happen :(
He'll be back. They all do, eventually. Even Tom.
Just thinking, if the Ponds moved to another country they could get a message to the Doctor and he could rescue them
Good point. I’ve thought of that too. Although I wonder if the fact that the Doctor saw the tombstone with their names in NY means they had to stay there. Or at least be buried there? I dunno. There’s a lot of ways around this problem if we think about it too hard
@@MrTambourineMan. Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey. Besides, we literally saw them rewrite time a few minutes before their demise-ish, so why not do it again?
wasnt #5 meant to be Rose? The two parter starts with her saying she died
The two parter which started with her saying she had died was the end of series two, #5 references the prophecy about a companion dying during the events of the end of series 4. Which the death of Jack fulfilled.
I still think that the woman we see dropping baby Ruby off at the church ISN'T her mother.
As we've all said, the hooded cape was hardly normal teenage gear for 2004, and doesn't that pointing finger look older?
So here's my 2+2=9 jump.
Mrs Flood was the woman that Ruby's mother turned to for help when she gave birth, the woman who said she'd make sure Ruby was looked after, and who has shadowed her every since.
And now that Ruby has found her mother, Mrs Flood has to leave, or she'll be recognised.
So there's she is, bag packed, on the roof of Ruby's house, with the snow falling wearing a hooded cape.
Of course we don't know who Mrs Flood is yet. Kindly backstreet midwife making sure Ruby is well? Evil Supplier of baby food to the Goblin King, thwarted by the Doctor's meddling in time? Or someone or something from RTD's fertile imagination?
But I can't help but feel that she's the important person surrounding Ruby's birth, NOT her father or mother.
that's a lot of copium
I love that theory! I wish their was some reference to that, like a reference to a kindly neighbor who volunteered to help, and they put everything into motion, being the one under the cloak. Makes so much sense!
He did say there was more Ruby stuff! Hopefully it won't be like season 1 where fan ideas are better than what we actually get.
Freema Agyeman wanted to play Martha in Torchwood Children of earth and The Sarah Jane Adventures but couldn't.
"Talking sushi Dalek Khan" 😂
Dalek Caan's prophecy did not specify biological death, so Donna's loss of memories - a form of identity death - does technically fulfill the prophecy.
Of course, he could have been referring to Jack who did die and then came back... And died and came back, over and over again.
I honestly never got what happened to 13 after she was touched by a weeping angel from the division?
Series 1-4 is the best use of The Daleks in NuWho. It’s clear RTD had a plan from the start. One Dalek introduced halfway through series 1. The finale we were so sure Davros would return but instead it was the Emporer Dalek. Then we got a fake-out on millions of Daleks in S2. Then the cult of Skaro were the main daleks for the remaining seasons until FINALLY we got Davros in the epic S4 finale.
I always have hope Christopher Eccleston will reprise his role one day.
He would love to but dislikes most of the people running the ship, especially RTD, his original show runner for his 1 season. Sad we never even got a Christmas special with him 😭
Stil say there's something going on with Ruby's mother. The computer made a little "frrrrtz" noise just before the name of Ruby's mother came up in the DNA database. There was some kind of switcheroo.
My interpretation was that the TARDIS enshrouded her identity using it's perception filter, to create a mystery that would esnare Sutekh crating the wiggle room for the Doctor to beat him, with the other things, such as the snow and the music being a consequence of Sutekh's interest in the mystery, as is otherwise theorised.
@@medafan53 While plausible from a story perspective, from an audience perspective it's still an unsatisfactory dramatic conclusion. Which is what leads me to hope there's more to it.
The show may have barely touched the surface on the Time War, but the audio dramas are full of Time War stories including Once & Future where the Doctor gets shot with a degeneration weapon during the Time War and keeps flickering through incarnations and each episode of that series is basically a mystery adventure!
My only critism is that Once and Future should've had more of an overarching plot rather than the Doctor degenerating at the start and end and look for one clue that only leads to the next one. Like, the consequences of the villain's action shouldve been felt throughout the whole set (not just in "Time Lord Immemorial") given its such a universal scale. And the degeneration itself needed a bigger sense of urgency than it had, like in the finale.
@@MrSukram777 the series itself is part of the overarching Time War Era and it was also made for the 60th anniversary so there was a large element of fan service to it as well! The events of “Time Lord Immemorial” was pretty much all you needed to show the severe consequences of the degeneration across Time Lord society as a whole and the multiverse too! And the “The Union” concluded it fantastically I think! We still have “Coda: The Final Act” still to go which will further go into the consequences of The Union’s actions and The War Doctors absence while he was going through the degeneration crisis! I’m also intrigued to see how Jo Martin handles the high quality Big Finish scripts and playing a character on audio for the first time that she previously played on screen because voice acting always provides new challenges for actors especially those who’s on screen acting is more physical!
@@matthewhegarty2873 Totally agree. Just meant that the Union should've been more of an overarching threat. Hope they bring her back one day.
@@MrSukram777 I don’t see why not! She was a great villain! Ultimately The Union and all his/her incarnations are just ultimately a very unfortunate being suffering from a condition they couldn’t help with all their past incarnations living on! That would drive anyone mad! You really can’t HATE The Union!
Missed hearing sean on this channel, probably the only person I've heard talk as quick and passionately about doctor who outside my friend group 😅
"Talking sushi Dalek Caan" 🤣🤣🤣
I'm still salivating over the Time War
Her mother is the great intelligence.
It changed its form to a woman to decrease suspicion then accidentally fell in love and boom.
Child.
Hence why she can just cause snow.
Which i bet will be shown to be based on her emotions.
Thats my theory anyway.
Seems bit to easy tho
Edit" also fits the... MESSAGE.
Even tho I've been watching Dr. Who since the 70s, I must be a failure of a fan. I wasn't disappointed by anything not happening. 😂
Learning about the hoops needed to jump through for The Rani makes it more impressive that the magic card got made
“It’s never the Rani” is Doctor Who’s “it’s never Lupus”.
At the risk of getting too nerdy in my dog knowledge (but, hey, you brought it up 😅), the Sutekh "dog" in the season finale was definitely not a Greyhound. Sutekh's dog-form is, actually, a much more appropriate, giant Pharaoh Hound. 🐕
(If you're curious to know how you can tell, it's simply that Greyhounds don't have ears that stick up like that but, Pharaoh Hounds do... and also, duh, of course he's a Pharaoh Hound! 😂)
More Time war PLEASE
Big finish have covered it extensively in their 8th and war Dr ranges
Great video! To be fair I was pretty satisfied with the way ruby's mother turned out to be an ordinary woman, I personally feel like sutekh had a bit of involvement with ruby being able to make it snow, he wanted to find out who her mother was so desperately that he may have been trying to force the fifteenth doctor and ruby to revisit those memories and discover who her mother was. I'm really looking forward to seeing if they'll be a further mystery surrounding her father! Thanks Sean and Who Culture! 😊😊
Having had time to process Empire of Death, I've worked it out. After the disruption and changes to time by the Goblins and the Doctor, that night on Ruby Road became raw and open in time, so post-disruption Ruby, because of being emotionally tied to that night, whenever she thought about it deeply, that allowed her to bring that night into the present, because time is memory and memory is time, a time machine to the past, which is why Ruby could make it snow and why the choir singing from the Church was audible, she was a time window to that night in 2004. Because of all of this, whenever Ruby engaged in the mystery of her abandonment, birth, and birth parents, she unintentionally gave that mystery greater importance, changing time, the first time this happened was halfway through Space Babies. When she deeply thought about and engaged in that mystery, she unintentionally changed time because of being a time window + time being memory and memory being time, which added a lamppost with a sign of the street name behind the Doctor, making Louise turn around and point at it to name her baby. Which could’ve been a dream Ruby had once, or story she invented in her head when she was growing up, and so when she became a time window + time being memory and memory being time, that allowed her invented story of her birth mother naming her to become real. So originally, before the meddling of the Goblins, there was no lamppost and Louise didn’t turn back and point, those were changes to time by Ruby after that night became raw and open because of the Goblins.
It's a fantastic human nature analogy, Ruby's mother was important because we *made* her important, RTD used the nature of Who fans (edit:) to do so. It shows us that we as human beings are what make things important by deciding they are and that anything can be important. This also harkens back to 11 saying "Important... I've never met anybody who isn't important."
@@psoma_brufd I completely agree. Growing up, because she was a completely unknown person with an unknown face, Ruby would’ve been inventing all kinds of stories and myths about who her birth mother was and why she left her outside of a church, and so when that night became raw and open, thus Ruby becoming a window back to that time, with time being memory and memory being time, she unintentionally brought these myths and stories she created about her birth mother to life, which is such a cool and fascinating idea, I love it.
@@Jamezevans123 even better, such a cool idea!
I think her mother being normal would be a perfectly fine inversion of expectations if they either showed us an explanation for the snow or had the doctor also be confused about the snow and leave it as a potential mystery or 'mystery for now.' Just forgetting you had Ruby pulling supernatural stunts and acting as if we and Sutekh invented the importance of who she is doesn't really resolve that loose end.
To find out what was going on with the women in 73 yards
Personally, I don't mind not knowing a bit like russel t davies
It's always a good day when I hear Sean's dulcet tones!
We've all seen that picture of Sean Pertwee dressed as the Third Doctor, we all know he'd totally be up for playing a Doctor. Doesn't have to to be 3, they could do a 10/14 and have Sean play the 16th but be a new character that looks a lot like 3 but be a completely different Doctor. Find a time that he's free and just get it done BBC, we all want to see Sean be a Doctor! (Niche reference, but also have him repair the TARDIS, then have it blow up and get Sean to say, "But I just finished putting it back together!" Hehehe!)
Re the Rani, it's not that Michele Gomez was bad as Missy/Master, she was brilliant, it's that most of us who remember the Rani back in the 80's really, REALLY want to see her back! Kate O'Mara was so good in the role that many of us loved to hate the Rani! It'd be fantastic to see a modern incarnation of her and I'll never stop hoping it'll happen!
What a weird TrekCulture vid.
We want Nanny.
One thing that sticks out to me with sutekh is how it was interweaved into the tardis, sooooo in the specials finale when they duplicate the tardis, one for both doctors, so surely sutekh will be in the other one too
There who still want David Tenant to return. They just can't let the 14th retire in peace. I will accept Tenant back as as only one character ... THE MASTER. Make a mixture of Kilgrave and the nasty side of Crowley.
He has returned too much. Give Tennant a Break on Screen DW.
please no...
just no...
I think we had enough with the 14th doctor, as much as I enjoy him and Donna together. It was a good ending.
But they could have made Michael sheen the master for one of those specials. Oh man, that would have been amazing!
#2 needs to happen
I've loved this show but damn I do not have any hope for it's future. It's just gotten so bad in the last few years.
Hi
Oh my
Doctor Who fans are waiting for the cancellation of the last series. Hope that one happens.
What we have always needed, is a Paul McGann Prequel series leading into the time war.
I was so pissed with the end of the last season. It could have been EPIC! Alas a major 'god' got deestroyed by a bungie cord... no answer about the snow and the cloaked woman was just a normal lady!?!
I wish Matt Smith returned instead of Tennant(I love him but the people who stopped watching after his era piss me the fuck off) he is and always has been overrated rtd 2 proves that David’s acting carried series 2 and 3 series 4 is perfect though
I agree, I didn't watch DW when Tennat was, I didn't know it existed until Smith. And Tennant is Overrated, Series 4 is his only Great Series. And I wanted others not Tennant to be the Regeneration, because he had a Full time compaired to: 6 who got fired, 7 the show got canceled on, and 8 who was going to bring back the show and has the least Screen Time!!!
Hope you can do a similar video for Trek Culture. 🖖
There have been several references to The Terrible Zodin, but I doubt she'll make a live-action appearance. I'm looking at the tardis wiki and the references would be hard to line up consistently.
need to talk to the Baker estates ASAP. We need nother renegade Time Lord running around. I miss the Rani.
I think the doctor will run into Susan in 19 th century where her last name will be Anthony.
My expectations are actully pretty low for Doctor Who, Jody's series took it out of me, she was a grwat actor but...well the episodes were boring, it was so slow and completely screwed up the lore...and I HATED the first anniversary episode and didn't care for the next but damn the Toy Maker I fuckin LOVED, I can't get over how good that episode was buut after seeing the new Tardis I lost interest again coz its such a boring interior Jody's interior sucked sorry butvit was my least favorite interior out of all the ones I've seen...I probably woulda watched it if I didn't see what Gatwa said on Twitter coz I did like his doctor abd maybe I'll watch it someday, and yes I'm usally stay away from all that cringe twitter shit and just my watch my apolitical stuff coz I despise politics but some one I watch brought up his tweet and I lost all my interest
How many times can one person be wrong in one post‽
(And there is never any need for swearing!)
Oh, they should totally try to get hold of Sean Pertwee and anyone related to previous doctors, villains and companions that they can. I'm not predicting that anyone else will meet their future spouse, but it would be interesting.
Update the Plasmatons from "The Walking Turds" to something more menacing... ;-)
Erster 😊 hello from Germany
These days? I'm recruiting for Sutekh.
Its always dumber than the wildest prediction, so why bother anymore?
Sutekh was NOT a jackal in Pyramids of Mars. He was a version of the Set Beast.
What about the fact that loiuse looks qnd sounds like Sheridan Smith, and has the same surname and age as Lucy miller? A bit suspicious. I think she's an avatar for Mrs Flood, like how Susan Triad was one for Sutekh.
I also think Belinda Chandra will be an avatar for the trickster, because she's got the same surname as Rani from SJA, and Verada Sethu hqs already appeared in Boom, so she could be another Susan Triad. It's all about traps for the doctor.
Sutek was a dog? I thought he was a rat😂
The funny thing is, the female Master is the best one since the one from the Tennant era who was also Prime Minister. John Simm or something? Sure, maybe the Rani would've been equally as good or better? Or maybe not. But she did great in that role, regardless.
I'd be way more upset if they suddenly made a female Batman... or Penguin or something for example. Oh wait, they did. For no reason. And there was a perfectly good Black Queen they could've used instead. They also called her Oswald at one point? So maybe she's trans? Which feels kinda weird for the time period, but it is technically fictional so it doesn't have to be as bad as real life was back then, I guess. And yet I'm only upset enough to point it out lol. This is me "way more upset" but I'm basically not. It definitely makes less sense than a species that can regenerate at least a dozen times, though, suddenly gaining or losing a chromosome lol
... Harriet Jones is INCENSED right now
NOTHING "makes up" for the lack of the 4th Doctor...
What’s clear is that the fans have better story ideas than RTD
HE told us that "EVERY Doctor Who Story in any medium is to be consicered canon - somehow", but then disregards "The Tenth Doctor's Adventures - year two" from Titan Comics (a bit more official than the Doctor Who Magazine stuff) which runs a whole Anubis - Sutekh story-arc, with old Anubis looking rather like the "newly invented tv-monster" and the masked Sutekh being held in limbo, since he "side-stepped" the trap of the 4th Doctor. But some Splinter-Sutekhs as backup security are able to use the body of his son Anubis to get access to our universe again. The mask seemed to belong to the prison equipment and they had to colour the speach bubbles differnetely to discern between splinter Sutekh in Anubis body (red) and original Sutekh from the tv-episode (green) to let the reader know who was speaking at any given moment. He nearly killed his own son, by trying to return to our universe, but got banished again, because one of the characters sacrificed herself. And poor old Anubis got rejuvenated back to some handsome teenage "dog-face" and travelled with the TARDIS-team under the name of Noobis. It was a great story for an old monster, why try this fantasy version of the "mavity universe" - is it a state of dream, created by the Toymaker? How else could a "remembered TARDIS" even fly? Now we have the original TARDIS with her coffee allergy, the juke-box TARDIS by the "one wish too many" from the Toymaker's mallet and a memory TARDIS of all and everything that "could have happened", with a memory Sutekh clinging to her scanner-eye (i.e. the top light).
Is this terrible monster even real, or just a possibility, if the 4th Doctor had failed in his plans? 1066 happened a season before the Doctor even encountered the Toymaker, how is it possible for Sutekh to plant his harbingers of death even there??? Some sloppy memories for such an encyclopedic fan-boy - or some hidden twist to be revealed in the 5th season of our current Doctor IF you let him proceed thus far...🥳🧐
Hilarious... My #1 is hoping The Doctor returns to his own show before it gets canceled... Cause it stands on the edge of the precipice...
Or you could try hoping for braincells that work so you stop spouting this gibberish.
Another downvote for the ST:DISCO t-shirt... ;-P
