Doctor Who Series 12 |OT| Spyfall Is Where We Start

How Jack's vortex manipulator ended up in the Black Archive would be quite nice. But I'd love seeing how Capaldi got roped in. I literally thought that was how Capaldi's Doctor was going to find Galifrey, was disappointed it never paid off.
Oh god, I'd forgotten about the lovely stuff with Strax, Ten and Eleven prior to the screening.
Due to a fairly hectic schedule the last couple of years, I haven't had a chance to catch up to Jodi Whitaker's series, only having watched up to Rosa Parks' episode before dropping the show. I'm finally caught up with Series 11, and now jumping into Series 12 (Spyfall Part 1 done).
Series 11 was alright. A lot of positives, but I didn't like how contained the stories were to one episode. The New Years special was also alright -- guess they gotta sneak a Dalek episode somewhere.

1 doesn't really fit with how it's described, since it's described as being more in the context of those specially-filmed warmup teasers and cinema behaviour guidelines.
My suggestion: Missy. I could just see her sarcastically ranting about the whole thing. Maybe even throw in a nod to how *she* would have got rid of the timelords...

Hilarious. I wish Doctor Who was still able to be funny like this.
We really were lucky having RTD and Moffat on the same writing staff. Damn.

Funny but they got my hopes up for something better.
Looks like RTD is following suit in some fashion for the 15th anniversary of Rose:
"Surprise Extra Material" might not be the likes of a scene, but we'll see!
(And I do hope I've placed this in the right place this time!)

How many fans voted that The Deadly Assassin, The Brain of Morbius or the TV Movie destroyed canon, or every Big Finish and NA novel? LOL.

Looks like they will be releasing a prequel to Rose
That is awesome that she did it and honestly the most Doctor like she's ever been
[/QUOTE]
yeesssssssssssss
drag rtd back into who
SAVE US RTD
I know this is a one time thing let me dream
"We'll try and post things here once or twice a week. Later this week, we'll have a never-before-published treat written by Russell T Davies."
Probably the same as the Rose prequel but we will be getting new stuff published once or twice a week
Exactly what I was thinking. My brain instantly recognized her as the Doctor and not just because she's been at the role for 25 episodes. More of this please.
"Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was "Oh no, not again""
Only further cements in my mind that Whitaker's a good Doctor pick and she got completely screwed by the writing.
She's still unfortunately the weakest we've had but even then Chibnall's screwed her over harder than Moffat ever screwed over Capaldi.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think Chibnall has forgotten about certain stories again.
In his short story about what the 13th Doctor was thinking during her fall to Earth he writes this:
With a bit of luck any injuries would be taken care of by the still fizzing regeneration process. Like those injuries the Doctor had got after he'd crashed through the roof at Naismith manor. Or the hand he'd managed to grow back after the Sycorax had lopped one off. Watch out Doctor, she thought, your personal pronouns are drifting.
Now, again, please correct me if I'm wrong but when Ten fell into the Naismith Manor, he wasnt regenerating at all and there was no regeneration energy to heal him, he just survived somehow, probably from the ceiling window that broke the fall.
I admit its a very small thing to nit pick at, I get that, but it feels like he put that in there to resolve a very minor issue when it was broadcast and has just created another minor issue.
The rest of the short story is great, very 13th Doctor as expected and an enjoyable read.

That's right, but he still heals from the cuts and injuries he received from the fall after he goes into the booth and gets blasted with the radiation.
Yea I get that, but the way Chibnall words it is tho he healed when he landed.
I'll put it down to poor wording on his part.
That RTD Time War prose is wonderful, and really nails why I was so disappointed with Day of the Doctor. Just mad, twisted imagery, time travel used to break reality itself in ever-more brutal ways - rather than, you know, Gallifreyan soldiers with space rifles, the doctor flying the TARDIS into Daleks and Daleks killing each other with a misfire. I like that story plenty, but it never matched up to what I envisioned the Time War would be - and it never could've on a TV budget. So reading this is at once so exciting and also kinda brutally crushing.
