Doctor Who - Discussion Thread III (no untagged future spoilers)

Rose was okay, she at least had an interesting interplay with the Doctor(s) she was with, and she actually did stuff herself at times as well, Martha was basically just useless and constantly seemed to just make the Doctor's life harder rather than contributing to the show, the series she was in was easily the worst of Nu Who, it's only saving grace is the Master's return at the end, other than that there is nothing memorable or good about the series imo.

Rose gets such a hard time from some people. At least there was some character development, which is more than I can say for the series since moffat took over. Every single one of his companions have been the same.

I thought Rose was pretty good until she started constantly coming back to her original universe.

Edit: i think they're going to have a much harder time with regards to capaldi's doctor and love. He's surely going to be too old for clara right?

A lot of women have older boyfriends these days, I was a little creeped out when a 18 year old at uni had a boyfriend aged 40(and they were both nasty pieces of work)

You'd hope so, but I really wouldn't put anything past Moffat.

Not the British public but steven moffat. Apparently he masterminded the first romance under rtd and has kept them coming since he took over. but now it seems to be here to stay because of (international audiences) i.e. how well the show is doing in America. Which is a shame

From other forums a lot of who fans say the same thing - can we have a companion relationship like when it was the dr and donna or early rose; because they weren't tainted with a silly love storyline, it was just an alien and a mate he picked up from earth to go travelling through space as you do

I'm assuming they will use Capaldi as an opportunity to have some romance-free storylines (though once the love triangle storyline ended, the doctor's dynamic with Amy/Rory was pretty platonic).

This is the first time since Rose that they've had a companion witness a regeneration, so hopefully they'll explore the interesting consequences of that. Hopefully Capaldi's doctor will have zero romantic interest in Clara, and she'll have to adapt to that.

I'm half expecting there to be a new male companion to fulfil the love interest for Clara in Series 8.

So do i The thing is its either going to be hit or miss. I didn't like rory and amy but i did like mickey and rose (i know this is a rare opinion but i liked it because it didn't go on for very long). I don't think moffat can do three people in the tardis - someone always feels like a third nipple.

I want a male companion!! NOT a love interest for the doctor - just a mate!
I've wanted it ever since who made me think "maybe james corden isn't such a terrible actor". I loved the chemistry him and matt had in their fleeting episode

Chat about a potential Master going on on Digital Spy.

Seemingly unsourced, but there is talk about the possibility of



Tbh, even if this is unsolicited nonsense talk, he would be a seriously good Master.

I wondered if they would bring the Master back


Posted from TSR Mobile

He's probably due a return at some point.

I like the idea of:

They'll need to find Gallifrey before they can bring back The Master.

So they should probably find it within about five years.

Well, they could always say that the Master escaped Gallifrey somehow through the Crack or another one.

Possibly, but I think that it would be a rather underwhelming return as opposed to a return in a blaze of glory, The Master coming through a crack would be both cliched and would just create more plot holes, since the High Council would have to be in the vicinity if he was to.

What would be interesting though is if they introduced Faction Paradox into the series.

Yeah, I'd have loved to have seen Corden be a companion with 11 for a few episodes - they really were great together.

I liked Amy and Rory and I liked Rose and Mickey but just having a male mate for the Doctor and Clara could shake things up quite a bit - maybe that male teacher in The Day of the Doctor could fulfil that?
