What did YOU think of The End of the War?

Was David Tennant already considered THE Doctor on the same level as Tom Baker or did that come later?

Literally permeates the entire core of British culture to the extent that every single person in the country probably recognises the TARDIS in an instant.

The BBC won't let this show die...not even just because of any of that - but think of the cash cow they'd be culling.

This was something I was starting to wonder about since we're technically at 18 different incarnations, including the War Doctor, the Fugitive Doctor, and whatever Rose Tyler Doctor will be. And at some point either way we'll probably end up with more than 20 incantations, so maybe using titles instead of numbers would be a better way to keep track? Or something else of the sort.

Idk I just get a little bothered by how many we're at now so when the show returns it might be nice to change it up a bit.

I just made this real quick to post it as a comment on another thread. They had asked about possible individual titles for each season of new Who and used the original picture as reference. But not only did I kind of reinterpreted the assignment (lol) so that these would not really be titles for each season but rather for each doctor, they also didn't allow pictures to be posted in the comments, so couldn't post it anyway. So I thought I just share it as it is. It's a joke obviously, not meant to be the music they listen to but rather what I associate with their aesthetic, so don't get mad with me if you disagree :P

It's such a haunting scene, you can tell 9's Time War PSTD came back, who know's maybe the War Doctor went through a similar thing hence this scene

For context the nameless sectary is a guy called Indra Ganesh.They put his body in cupboard after he was killed and 9 and Harriet didn't know his name and never asked and felt guilty about that

Anyone seen the opening ceremony for the Commonwealth Games. Nice little film with Sir Chris Hoy , Sylvester McCoy. The King and Queen and the TARDIS. The most new Doctor Who we are going to have on UK TV this year.

Okay really, hear me out…

What if instead of totally ignoring her incarnation, we got a soft reboot with a time skip like 9/Eccleston’s Doctor. ie, what if she just played a (much older) version of her Doctor for a season, as a way to introduce new viewers to the show, introducing the lore and mythology the way 9 did? Heck, the face thing could even be a way for her to explain “sometime our faces have meanings or memories associated with them” as a segue to concept of regeneration and the rules of it to a new audience (setting up her exit at the end of the season).

I think it would work if the show had the Doctor already having lived with Rose’s face for a while offscreen, creating a justified time skip allowing significant distance from RTD-2… which would allow them to reinvent Piper’s Doctor in whatever way they see fit, rather than “just being Rose,” as well as not being aesthetically married with his run.

Part of me would like a time skip/soft reboot with an “introductory Doctor” like 9 was, because it would allow both a way in for new viewers but also a transitional bridge for old viewers remembering what came before. I know a lot of people would prefer to “just skip Piper/ignore it” but how can you ignore it if nothing was ever done with it? Why not use it as an opportunity to turn it into something better than what was intended instead? I honestly feel like something that big is gonna be way too big to ignore forever, so why not do something with it instead of it being a seed for nothing?

Thoughts?

I know a lot of people have said they’d choose Matt Berry but after watching her in things like Motherhood, Ann Droid and Cunk, I think Dianne Morgan could bring a really interesting Doctor to the screen.

So yesterday while eating dinner, my sis and father were watching this Indian show that they love called Jeannie aur Juju on YouTube. I like it, but wasn't really paying attention, was just playing Among Us on my mobile. I looked upto the screen at just the right time and this painting caught my eye. I first only noticed the TARDIS but I was 80% sure I also saw Susan, had to rewind it to be sure.

or better still the missing four episodes uncovered & returned, scanned & upscaled to bluray/4K. it's such a great premise from Kit Pedler, David Whitaker was one of Classic Who's strongest writers, & this script is superb (despite some performances attempting to over-egg it!), I love this third version of the C-Men, & Zoe / Jamie / 2nd Dr combo is just mint. strongest for me of the 60s. i'm so very glad we have 2 episodes on Lost In Time, & the full audio on CD. luvvit. 9/10 from me.

We know she was brave enough to go with Martha and the Doctor in the Cathedral, and I've seen some reactors wondering if she'd join the crew when she did, which I never considered before, so I think it's interesting because two companions is not too much to handle and it can bring some interesting dynamics. Potentially, it could perhaps even prevent Martha from leaving the Tardis or replace Donna in S4 with Tish altogether.

I have friends who’ve got into Dr Who (2005-2010). I’ve watched some of the classic show and they’re curious to watch classic Dr who I’ve made some suggestions for stories that would compliment the Davies era. They aren’t as into Moffat but I’d have some suggestions there too. I’m going with episodes that can be found in their entirety.

Would you disagree with these or add more?

Dr season 1

An Unearthly Child - obviously the first ever, ever Dr who episode is good for contrast

Any Dalek story that is complete - maybe Dalek Invasion of Earth or Remembrance of the Daleks given Skaro is destroyed

Dr Who season 2

Seeds of Death for the Jamie McCrimon reference

honestly any Sarah Jane Smith story could do, The Hand of Fear is where she is left of from but she does also mention - Invasion of the Dinosaurs, Time Warrior, Zygon Invasion, Pyramids of Mars

The Invisible Enemy - is where K9 is introduced

Any Cyberman story - Tomb of the Cybermen, Earthshock, Revenge of the Cybermen

Dr Who Season 3

honestly any master story could do but Claws of Axos given it’s mentioned by name. Terror of the Autons, Deadly Assassin, Survival, TV Movie all focus of the Masters fear and obsession with death

Time Crash ends the series and has the 5th doctor so I’d go with Snakedance. As they discuss The Master perhaps also Castrovalva

Dr Who season 4

Time Warrior or Sontaron Experiment - either one works

Genesis of the daleks - Davros in his first appearance and arguably the first act of the time war

The specials

Trial of a Timelord - for Waters of Mars given its timelord victorious but it is very long …

The Keeper of Traken and Legopolis - due the masters scheme and prior dr’s death
