A Darker Doctor Who from Moffat

[Cutter John]

^ Exactly. And Timeflight wasn't exactly a tale of woe and dispair either. And even his scariest stories still have a healthy dose of humor, so its cool.

I believe you mean "Time Crash." Time-Flight as full of woe and despair, but only because it was such a terrible serial.

D'OH! I'm an idiot. Shoulda proofread better.

And yeah, I was pretty much filled with dispair after Time-Flight too.

RTD also said the series would get darker in season 3 or 4

Ever since Moffat was announced as the new show runner I've been thinking about season 5 having five to 6 "Blink" quality episodes

and we usually get an infamous quote out of his episodes

"Hey, Who turned out the lights?"

"The angels have the phone box'

[Cutter John]

"Are you my mummy?"

Will it make you throw a bit of a wobbly?

I know, Starkers beat me to it. But I wanted to say it anyway.

Wibble.

*shiver*

There's only one cure for The Wibbling Shivers. Underpants upon the head. You know it makes sense.



On Topic Moment:

I recently rewatched the classic Fifth Doctor serial The Caves Of Androzani. I'd love to see more episodes in the same vein, with that "Everyone's a mean old bastard" Blake's Seven approach. It worked exceptionally well in Caves, I thought.

Oh I'd be all for the B7 approach every time (somewhat predictably)

What if people just write WWTW?

It might help dozens of posters spam their way to the higher ranks...

 

[The]

WWTW? "World War Torch Wood"?

 

[Bob The Skutter]

WWTW? "World War Torch Wood"?

What Would Tennant Wear?

 

[captcalhoun]

Who Would Tennant Woo?

World War TorchWood sounds cool...

 

[Jim Steele]

Who Would Touch Willies?

 

[Lindley]

Where Would TARDIS Warp?

 

[HappyDayRiot]

Excellent - it's like watching Mock the Week!

The audience which first watchedi ts return in 2005 has grown up so I feel a darker Doctor for a few years would be a great thing with the light humor kept in.
