Stuff Hugo Says

Are you planning to watch McMafia, seeing as Peter Harness is involved? It’s a bit of a slow burn but pretty good, and the two episodes he co-wrote are definitely the highlight.

He said I didn’t have to.

[stuffhugosays]

Good. I never got to his episodes. Nothing happened in the first five.

[elsandifer]

Have you read the Steve Thompson draft of The Sign of Three? It makes it very clear which bits were rewritten (and how much better it turned out afterwards).

Nope. Where is it?

[stuffhugosays]

The draft script is here: http://www.zen134237.zen.co.uk/Sherlock/ 

(Also there is his draft for The Reichenbach Fall, as well as Moffat's script for The Lying Detective).

Introducing Jodie Whittaker, the first woman Doctor.

Welcome Jodie Whittaker as 13th Doctor (x)

[imaginationandheartbreak]

“Jodie Whittaker? Oh my goodness!” the actress told the crowd, after making joke kissing noises. “God, I’m always the damn cradlesnatcher!

how big of a sigh of relief do you think Moffat let out when Chibnall told him he was casting a woman

[crystalsoulslayer]

He did not. He leapt up, danced on the nearest table, and made a shrieking noise of happiness so loud it shattered glass.

[bardqueenofgallifrey]

honestly the guy’s been pushing for this for 18 years he must be over the fucking moon

Now that I’ve gotten it in my head, I really want the Christmas special to be titled “The Husbands of the First Doctor”

Twelve saying Ten and Eleven’s last words

I really hope David and Matt were watching this…

[questions-within-questions]

There’s something wonderful about seeing Capaldi doing Matt Smith’s physicality and intonation.

[questions-within-questions]

I wonder why Eccleston’s regeneration wasn’t also here. I’d argue that referencing something which happened twelve years ago is a stretch, but then the same sequence had “Sontarons perverting the course of history!” Moreover the extended sequence with has like, MAD Welsh series bias, with flash backs to almost every post revival companion and very little of the English series. Which is weird to me? The past two seasons have given me this feeling that the Welsh and English series were feeling a lot more integrated.

[wackd-archive]

It’s homaging the late 70s/early 80s bias of Tom and Peter’s regenerations.

[elsandifer]

The Sontarans line is also a Listen callback. But I agree, Rose feels increasingly arbitrary as a point to flash back to. 

[wackd-archive]

I think the problem is that there are a lot more people with deeply fannish tendencies towards the Welsh series these days than there are towards the English one (indeed, you can see this reflected in the casting choices for the 50th.) Skipping Rose would cause an uproar, skipping Tegan not so much.

[elsandifer]

I mean, it’d be hilarious to do a companion montage that just starts with Martha. 

[stuffhugosays]

I mean, there’s also the reading that it’s Moffat’s last season, and he was there, with Rose, from the start. It’s the end of a long era.

[stuffhugosays]

(But yes, starting with Martha would be hilarious.)

Well, no. Sorry. Just… No.

I’ll be damned if Doctor Who is going to join in with the general chorus of despair.

Steven Moffat (on Bill’s fate in The Doctor Falls)

You: Dead lesbians trope

Doctor Who, an intellectual: Immortal lesbians
