@Whovian7 It’s fine, don’t worry.
@Whovian7 Thanks!
...Sorry to ruin the mood a bit, but posting on a post that’s over two weeks old is called necroposting, and it’s seen as really annoying by a lot of people here.
I really appreciate the comment, though!
Below “love”, but above “ok”.
....is there just an option for saying I liked her?

They’ve found (very salty) water on Mars, and we do plan on going there sometime in the near future. I’m a bit worried that the events of TWoM will happen, except there’s no Doctor, and without him they would’ve evacuated and the escape shuttle would’ve gone to Earth, bringing the Flood with it...
I don’t think it’s a two-parter, though — I think the easiest way to ‘classify’ one is if it has a “To Be Continued” at the end, which Heaven Sent doesn’t.
@Tobias Pendlebury What do you mean by ‘number’? If you mean the episode number of a series...
You can see they’re different for the two-parters. But maybe you’re referring to something else? Sorry if I misunderstood.
@Gomez Capulet There are only two NuWho two-parters with the same title for both parts (The End of Time and Spyfall). The rest (like The Songaran Stratagem/The Poison Sky) have different titles for the parts.
Probably for the reason @Ywilliam31 said, but also because it’s the finale, which people generally expect to be a two-parter.
Not exactly the Doctor, but when tea saved the world (Christmas Invasion).
(I still haven’t watched much of Classic Who yet, so this is just NuWho):
Eccleston: “Everybody Lives” in TDD
Tennant: Human Nature (I know it’s not all the Doctor, but still)
Smith: He’s harder to pinpoint — not because he’s bad, but because I can’t think of a definite completely stand-our scene. Maybe the final scene in The Doctor’s Wife? Like when he’s all triumphant except then Idris is glowing and her body is dissolving and the whole tone of the scene just changes. All his speeches are great, too.
Capaldi: The speech in TZI; Heaven Sent.
Whittaker: She was pretty good on The Woman Who Fell To Earth, and in Fugitive of the Judoon (“It’s a platoon of Judoon! And it’s near the Moon!”).
The Christmas Invasion — I’m not sure if it’s considered terrible, but it’s not considered the best, either.
The Shakespeare Code, which again is in that grey area but still.
And actually the whole Series 6 arc (and all the wibbly wobbly Moffat arcs)
...what?

(sorry if this is necroposting)
It might maybe be slightly ok-ish (maybe), but I feel like you’d have to work extremely hard to make it work out and not turn Doctor Who into some weird teen drama romance show set in space.
...Then again, this is coming from the girl who’s still waiting for the Doctor to regenerate into a lizard.
When you realise your mother-in-law (twice) tried to snog you.
Or just how I react to most on-screen TV kisses, but that doesn’t have as much oomph.
@AlexanderOfNine I mean, that is subjective...
I still think it’s pretty good to have a good writer as the show runner, even if they’re not a super good show runner (then again, the Moffat era’s my favourite era of the show so I can’t really talk), as they’re still in charge of the pilots and the finales. Out of these three, I think Vinay Patel is probably the most plausible option, then Toby Whithouse (yeah, Chibnall’s last Lee-showrunner episode was in Series 7 but at least he wrote in the Moffat era, something which Whithouse has unfortunately not done...), and then Neil Gaiman — though my order of preference is the reverse order of that (not saying Patel is bad at all — Fugitive of the Judoon is my favourite 13th Doctor episode, and Demons of the Punjab wasn’t bad, though I found it a bit weird how nothing at all would’ve changed if the Doctor/her companions hadn’t showed up).
The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe*
Do you mean the one at the beginning of the episode? I searched it up and I can’t find it — maybe it wasn’t given one (sorry).
Wasn’t The Waters of Mars kind of a Halloween special (or an Autumn special, anyway)?
Anyway, I’d love to see one with a twelve and Clara — I don’t know why, I think their dynamic would work really well in one (just watching Twelve completely rejecting the Halloween vibe and Clara trying to get him to embrace it — and the episode might have some horror vibes, too, and I think their dynamic would work really well in that. For the villains, if we’re doing returning ones maybe we could bring back the
Carrionites (or maybe the Hervoken from Forever Autumn (the book) on TV? That would be interesting, though I doubt it would happen, but then again we’re probably not going to get another episode with Twelve and Clara, so...). If not, I don’t know — I can think of something later.
Ooh nice!
(Sorry if this is necroposting, it’s been a week so I don’t know if that counts or not)
