Why has Missy not had her own extremely campy and badass villain song musical number yet?! This needs to happen she has too many Disney villain vibes for this not to be a thing!š

Sometimes it bothers/frustrates me when people say the Capaldi era didnāt get good until series 10 or praise Bill while at the same time putting down Clara. Yes, series 10 is wonderful in many ways and Bill is a lovely companion with an interesting story arch. But you wouldnāt get the series 10 12 without all the character development he went through in series 8 and 9. Also I know Clara isnāt everyoneās cup of tea but I feel like if people gave her and 12 a second chance people would see the beauty of their arch together. This is something I really hope if BF gets Capaldi and Coleman one day they expand more on their unique, equal and powerful relationship (but not misinterpret them as father/daughter or just friends). I feel like if BF played their cards right when the time hopefully comes they could make a lot of people fall in love with 12 and Clara as a duo.
Sidenote: I wish when and if one day Capaldi and Coleman do come to BF, I could write write for them. I know the kinds of stories that could be told with 12 and Clara that would explore their relationship on a deeper level than just a surface level run around. There is one 12 and Clara story in particular that I am aching to tell one day but I will keep that to myself at the moment š

Based on the surviving clips, I think The Macra Terror really benefitted from being lost and animated.

Other than that I think the next Doctor should probably be Jo Martin or another woman, beyond that I donāt really care much who plays 14. I already have had my perfect and favorite Doctor in 12. As long as whoever they cast has the right acting range of comedy and drama and convincingly play a thousands of years old space alien and will be a good ambassador for the show they will be all right with me. Itās more the writing and direction that has me concerned. I have very mixed feelings about Chibnall, some of his choices I have enjoyed like some of the plot twists, I even like parts of Timeless Children; but other parts like the inconsistent moral compass of 13 and the lack of her worst decisions being questioned I canāt stand.
Would it be terrible to say that I would be far more excited by past Doctors (especially 12) coming back than I would be by whoever is playing 14?
As far as Olly Alexander rumors go, I have not seen āitās a sinā so I canāt really judge if they would make a good Doctor or not. Maybe I donāt know š¤·š»āāļø

If they ever make a Doctor Who movie Emma Stone should play Doctor Who.

I do think you could have a North American Doctor, hell any country for that matter. Doctor Who is of course quintessentially British, but I think there could be a lot of great stories, actors and production crew that could become involved should it go international.

Maybe they could do a movie for the 60th? But only if they get at least all the modern Doctors to participate (Iām boycotting the 60th if it doesnāt include Peter Capaldi).

William Shatner?
John Barrowman?
And poor old Donald Sutherland: always the rumour, never the Doctor

I think international showrunners, supporting actors and writers would be cool. Not too sure about main continuity American Doctors, maybe alternate universe or Timeless Doctors could be American but I kind of would like to avoid the show becoming too Americanized.Iād rather the show keep its British spirit overall it would loose too much of its identity if It became too American and this is coming from a US Who fan.

Fair enough for sure, but for me, I think Doctor Who has its own spirit independent of being British. That is just me though, and totally understand that I might be a minority in this situation.

Just because not everyone sees certain dynamics and subtexts in DW doesnāt mean that the subtext isnāt there and that it shouldnāt be expanded on and further explored in expanded media.

I would be genuinely heartbroken if Capaldi never plays 12 again and it would honestly ruin part of my love of DW. At the same time though I am concerned and a bit scared about if he did come back for BF and the 60th that certain aspects of 12ās era might get misinterpreted or abandoned; mostly the romantic relationship with 12 and Clara ( the thing that I love the most of his era and more than anything else in DW), but also that he isnāt just some grumpy grandpa heās complex multi layered and a bit like a rebellious young man in an older body, and that the fact he is a musician is not just some stupid surface level gimmick to appeal to young people but a deeply essential part of his character development. Hoping that someone convinces Capaldi how important it is that he comes back but at the same time the writers understand all the nuances of his character and era.
I wish I could tell Capaldi how important it is that he comes back one day and that I could write for him (and possibly Jenna Coleman) at BF. Maybe one day š¤
I know I am weird for being this passionate about this but itās important to me. Sometimes I do get very self conscious of my geeky obsessions and worry people think Iām a freaky super fan even though I know Iām not.
Sidenote: I really hope him playing the Thinker in the DC universe doesnāt stop him from being in the 60th DW special , I want to like those movies but that would really sour them a bit for me.

I think River Song is handled much better on audio than she ever was during most of her tenure on television. Bar her initial appearance in Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead.

Agreed but controversial time is that down to the fact she's not opposite her "Its all about me Mother" and paradoxical in most cases more emotionally mature but younger versions of her "Husband/Wife".

Bar her initial appearance in Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead. agreed she was wasnt sexist or misandrist in Silence of The Library and Forrest of The Dead then her other stories (Cough Husbands of River Song Cough) and generally she is usually great in her audios bar some occasional cringe dialogue in some stories

I donāt really care about Rassilon or Timelord politics, they are a bunch mostly boring stuffed shirts I have zero emotional attachment to. Which is why I have come to the conclusion that even though itās not perfect, āHell Bentā is the best Gallifrey story because it deliberately goes against expectations that it will be a lore heavy Timelord politics focused finale and instead is an incredibly bittersweet character based tearjerker that focuses on the end to a tragic romance between the two characters (12 and Clara) I care about more than any other in the entire show. I truly donāt know why, anyone would want what would essentially be a totally detached from the rest series 9, finale that would focus on incredibly boring Timelord politics and meaningless lore probably with the hybrid being some stupid unmemorable monster of the week instead of the sensitive character piece that we got.
I would like to enjoy more Gallifrey set stories but so far I havenāt found many others that I like. There are a few others I like but mostly ones that focus on the relationship between the Doctor and companions.

There are a few others I like but mostly ones that focus on the relationship between the Doctor and companions. I agree. Gallifrey and the Time Lords (Rassilon, Omega and the rest of the gang) are a big part of Doctor Who, so I can't see them vanishing - this is why I was so happy when RTD brought the show back with the Doctor very much as a homeless loner. Thing that gets me is that The Doctor (originally) left Gallifrey because he was bored with their society and irritated by their endless pomp and rules. Therefore, Gallifrey is pretty boring and officious by design. The Five Doctors, for example, is great, but the Gallifrey scenes do drag it down. The Deadly Assassin at least reinvented Time Lords as a bunch of silly old sods, which made things more amusing. Luckily for me, The Doctor doesn't often call home!

I have never thought about that but i do agree, (unless you count like day of the doctor as a Gallifrey story but i think thats kinda cheating) it does somthing interesting and subverts expectations. Tbf though the The competition isnāt strong (i suppose i might prefer deadly assassin? But like thats in spite of the Gallifrey stuff really not because of it. I think Hell bent uses Gallifrey the best which is the main thing
