    It does need a rest before coming back as a campy kids horror as it was before

        we don’t need shots of spinning Tardis flying [], just dis- and reappearing

        I love most of the flight scenes, and it’s been used in nuwho from the beginning (parting of the ways, the runaway bride, etc.), but I agree

          Agree. I’ve found the spinning TARDIS flying through space silly and cartoonish. Why would it do that when it could materialise closer?

    doubtful this is true but they should have never gotten disney involved anyway - or any american company. disney just exists for the bottom line, they’ve never cared about shows. look how they pandered to bigots by cancelling acolyte…

    Needs a firebreak. Then return to its pre-2005 roots. Bobby Ewing its way out of the TARDIS shower.

    Edit: Changed Bony to Bobby (though I love Bony Ewing as a Dallas character that never was).

        Yes. Regard it all a bit like the Valeyard: ghostly future echoes of what could have been. The more appealing stuff can always be reintroduced afresh. If you don’t like Eight - I could be convinced with Seven. I’d be happy with a pre-Rose Nine as well.

        (I’m increasingly an advocate of (re)introducing the Faction, if Miles would allow it, who have been there all the time messing with time, causing temporal collapse - from which emerges new timelines which simultaneously embrace and reject everything before. And behind that a greater War in Heaven which makes the Time War look like a scuffle in a playground.)

            Why settle for coherent when you can make it complicated and unintelligible? Private Eye is saying that the show’s been put on hiatus for at least 3 years - so plenty of time to reverse the polarity on the complexity inhibitors.
