Disney and Doctor Who part ways

[camdudetenger2018]

I never stopped calling it that.

i usaully say both verisons lol doctor who 2023 season aka doctor who 2005 season

 

[camdudetenger2018]

Since we're broaching this subject, here's my take on the season numbering of the past few years, according to me and me only:

Series 13, OR, season 14:
The 2023 David Tennant Specials

Series 1: OR Season 15:
Ncuti Gatwa's first season, spanning the 2023 Christmas Special and Disney's first series

Series 2, OR Season 16:
Ncuti Gatwa's second season, spanning the 2024 Christmas Special and Disney's second and final series

So really, the next series could be series 3/season 17. But I count the Tennant specials as a series.

lol i knda say the same thing expect i would say doctor who 2023 season aka doctor who 2005 season

 

[camdudetenger2018]

I called it season 41.

oh yah because you include the doctor who 1963 seasons plus the 2005 seasons plus the 2023 seasons which equals to 41 seaons

Is it sad that I'm ambivalent at this point? You gotta get rid of the people behind the camera or it's just gonna be more of the same.

I don't have any problem with that.

 

[26138]

I'm just grumpy today lol

No matter what else happens, I hope that the Christmas special next year is able to wrap up the hanging Susan thread and that Carole Ann Ford can still perform the role.

 

[Emperor-Tiberius]

I'm probably not gonna be the majority...but I wish RTD stays.

Yes.

We need a clean slate

I'm not sure how much of a clean slate we will have with RTD involved.

I called it season 41.

Why not. I think we've gotten far enough that we can be comfortable enough to say what it really is.

 

[The Nightmare Doctor]

I called it season 41.

Honestly, I've made my peace with not continuing the number from the classic show. It works because the season/series structures are vastly different, the major gap between classic and modern, and the very usage of season and series.

But the Disney season number reset was done purely for marketing reasons and I'm eager to forget that ever happened.

Maybe once it’s off Disney they reintegrate it back into the previous system.
Or they consequently switch to a per Doctor numbering.

I would prefer a renumbering to Number of the Doctor and a Season number.

3:1 for Pertwee's first season and so on.

 

[Saul]

is he leaving again

There's no report of him leaving but I am curious how long he will stay/is contracted for.

 

[oktay]

Could it end up on Netflix or HBO Max in the US?

They should get their rights internationally together with the US.

along with the old seasons.

I guess growing up reading comics with so many books always resetting to new issue number ones to increase sales, sometimes with the same creative teams continuing with the same story lines, that that sort of thing just doesn't bother me. Although, I do like that Marvel has started putting both volume issue number and legacy issue number on the covers of their books.

 

[Sketcher]

I lost track of what season belonged to which Doctor by Matt's last year.

 

[The Gatekeeper]

I just think of the seasons by the calendar year they aired in. Better than consulting a spreadsheet to determine if we're in season 41 or 15 or 2 or Fred or whatever.

See, that's precisely why it bothers me. I hate that crap in the comics.

But good to read that Marvel is (finally) including the legacy issue number.
