SHOUT OUT TO MY BOO NYSSA.

Dec 27, 2009 21:48

Just getting my ludicrously mental crackpot Doctor Who theory in early before The End of Time Part 2 airs...

( Spoilers for The End of Time Part 1, plus a screencap from the trailer for Part 2 )

The Naismith's were too weird, I kept forgetting she wasn't his wife.

Don't think I want any regeneration wank. I just want him to get whacked, keel over, then spazz into Matt Smith.

Think I'm going to be disappointed!

Cheerio, Michael. xxx

As if RTD would let Ten just regenerate normally. This is his BIG FINISH! It needs to have an obtrusive Gold score and Ten being crucified, followed by "UNIVERSE-CHANGING" plot twists.

Nine's regeneration is one of my favourites, though.

I hope we get some chat about the handing over, I wonder how much of a hand Moffatt had in the regeneration (I will blame him for all the bad bits, regardless). Come on, Confidential, surely you could drop an amusingly soundtracked montage and a ten minute production crew circle jerk for some... actually interesting content.

I wish Confidential wasn't such a cheap and easy way to get ratings, because it's easily the most hideous thing on television. I admire the crew's transparency re: circle jerks and self-congratulatory commentary, but it's so off-putting to watch.

Still, The Automatic do have bills to pay. [cue monster montage to 'Monster']

Confidential frustrates me, because it shows a lot of promise, and it's always good to have something about the creation of a show on television to inspire the next generation. I don't like what it's spawned - fuck off, Merlin's Magical Secrets, or whatever that shit is called - and it's all too often just a load of clips of people saying, 'well, that was good, wasn't it?', but it occassionally gets it right: the 'Midnight' episode - about the sound recording - whilst being as boring as all sin, actualy had a purpose...

If I was making it, it would be on BBC Four, and would be a load of people sitting around talking about Donna's 'character arc' and the representation of old lady cats in modern TV and cinema. It's probably a good thing that I'm not making it.

No! I'd watch a BBC4 Confidential that actually discussed the show in a grown up way, but only if it was driven by outsiders with OCCASIONAL discussion with the actual team.

I actually don't want to see how they make the monsters, etc. A lot of parents like it because it shows kids that it's just make-believe, but quite frankly you're MEANT to be scared of Doctor Who sometimes, and maybe you should teach your children not to be so stupid as to think that a prawn in a wheelchair is going to electrocute them with his shiny glove.

Oh, and I almost watched the Midnight Confidential but then didn't, because I think the sound team on New Who are often fucking atrocious, and I wish they'd bring some other people in. Everything makes the same zappy sound, everyone has a Wilhelm scream, fire always makes THAT stock sound, and...the Master sounds like a lion puking when he goes Skeletor.

(it was alright in Midnight though, I suppose)
