And that should be all the missed recreations

Can we move Tales of the TARDIS to somewhere around when the Memory TARDIS was a thing, I feel that would be the best placement for it

I think it's more consistent to place it around the Doctor's timeline.

 

[Megatron]

I think it's more consistent to place it around the Doctor's timeline.

I agree. Placing it when it's created will make you watch a full on set of mini-episodes set in the past rather than continuing with Season 2 for no real reasons.

 

[stphylcccs]

But since they're considered canon, it would make more sense to put them where they're meant to be

yeah but they slow down the narrative, basically after ending season 1 you have to sit and watch minutes of these mini episodes. If you place them accordingly instead, you can jumo soon to season 2.

Like it isn't the same of the war doctor, that you experience all his stories between The Name of the Doctor and The Day of the Doctor. That is justifdied as it's importanto for the War Doctor's POV during Day of the Doctor.

Watching Tales of the Tardis or not doesn't justify that kind of backtracking. So I would say that Pro Bot did a good job with those.

 

[stphylcccs]

You don't have to watch Tales of the TARDIS, but I feel the optimal place to put them would be there (or before Disney S1, since that's when it came out)

 

[Pro Bot]

Chronologically, the Doctor experiences them where they've been placed in the timeline. He doesn't magically start shifting Doctors or anything.

They experience the tales told where they've been placed in the timeline, but the whole point of the show is that they're telling stories of past adventures. I feel it'd be better to watch recaps later in the watch - when you probably forgot all the details - than right after you just watched it - where it'd make for a slower watch

classic who never had a season storyline like new and disney who does. Placing it after DDW season 1 would make the narrative slow down.

Also as you said they were released before anyways.

Just watch the beginning and end, then. They barely make any changes, usually. Speaking of, I guess I should technically include the coloured versions of Daleks and War Games now that I think about it.

maybe just war games, as if you want to be super precise and include everithing, then we should include the Marco Polo reconstruction etc...

 

[ScottishRyzo]

After the bi generation RTD made a comment in an interview that he's never repeated since that all the doctors bi generated, not just the 14th.

I think the memory TARDIS doctors were originally intended to be these bi generated past doctors and this was going to be the excuse for why returning doctors look older than they did in their final appearances

 

[Pro Bot]

**** that, lol.

 

[Chapmike]

Honestly, this idea of retroactive bi-generation just makes it a paradox mess. I was okay with it when we thought it was tied to the Toymaker and only happened to the Doctor. But since it's been revealed it's a failsafe to repopulate the Time Lords, also having it being retroactive would mean that every Time Lord ever would also retroactively bi-generate, including previous incarnations of the Rani, the Master, Rassilon, Borusa, K'anpo Rimpoche, Morbius, etc. And then all their bi-generated incarnations either still end up being wiped out, making the whole retroactive concept useless, or they somehow survive and then the whole bi-generation doesn't need to even start in the first place. So it's better to just leave that idea out entirely.

But... Season 6B! The War Games Colourized makes it incompatible!

 

[Megatron]

But... Season 6B! The War Games Colourized makes it incompatible!

It can't do that, not just for the season 6B materials, but the doctor and Jamie appears in a 6th doctor serial. So in some ways it HAS to happen.

Yeah, exactly. That's why I'm against using The War Games Colourized over the original B&W serial.

the wiki did this to try and reconcile.

The War Between the Land and the Sea is actually really good. I don't get the hate... I like the fact it's nothing like Doctor Who. It actually feels like there's consequences, unlike the primary series has had recently.

So, the latest episode.

Spoiler

They killed Austin Pierce (from Children of Earth)... damn, that sucks. Also, could his friends in Wales be Gwen and Rhys? Proooobably not... but, come on. This already feels like Torchwood S5.

Okay, but is it ACTUALLY BETTER than the newer seasons of DW (as in the slop RTD is shitting out)? Asking as a long-time Whovian that hasn't yet watched it.

I'm not mad at RTD2 but it's the best thing he's written since he left

If Rhys the goat shows up, i'll be so freaking happy

 

[Pro Bot]

I'm glad I'm not the only big Rhys enjoyer.

S1 Rhys can be perceived as very toxic, but S2 and afterwards... just GOAT

... I'm asking for an opinion without all the RTD glazing, cause after these last two seasons, the guy has lost all faith from me.
