Description
I keep seeing fanart of the 8th Doctor, portraying him as a naive, romantic wuss, and I have never understood it. He held himself hostage in order to steal a motorcycle! 9 and 10 haven't done anything so badass! And they were useless (this part also includes the first 2 eps with 11) without they're screwdrivers!Now, if anyone could tell me why they're swinging as well? That would be great.

Hey I liked eight and eleven's saving the universe in a brief time, whats wrong with the eleventh hour?

This was done before the Eleventh Hour primiered. By a long time...

yea but you put in that this includes the first two eps of the eleventh doctor and I'm sorry if I am sounding mad or upset about it though I'm just curious is all.

Oh yes! I just reread what I had written and I did say that!
I have no problem with Matt, I think he did great! Those two episodes were just a bit screwdriver heavy. In the classic episodes the screwdriver was hardly ever useful, now it seems to be the savior a lot of the time. Matt qput it away pretty quickly though.

yea well in five and beyond, the guy at the time who was writing said that the sonic screwdriver was always a cheat device but now adays they give excuses why the doctor can't open this or that, like wood or deadlocked, course I think even if eleven didn't have the sonic, he probably could do just as fantastic and I would like to point out is that eight was the one who brought back the sonic screwdriver in the movie. Course I could be wrong?

He never used it though! It was stolen the whole time!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
true but he didn't grab for it I think without the sonic screwdriver he would still be brilliant it would just take him longer. lol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes. And he would have to display that brilliance to us more, so I believe that writers shrink away from that because a) they don't have the time to spare, b) They'd have to figure out how to explain to the audience what they're doing (Moffatt would anyway, Davies never explains anything), and c) no matter what, the audience is not as smart as the Doctor and we willnever understand what it is he's doing.

remember in the girl in the fireplace when mickey asked the doctor what it was and said must be a spatial temporal hyperlink, and mickey asked whats that and doctor said dunno just made it up, didn't wanna say magic door. I thought that was hilarious.

and so RTD.... but yes, very good.

true, but I do love moffat's season even though some were a hit and miss like the beast below.

I quite agree - the eighth doctor is sadly underrated and unknown compared to other doctors.

Is 9 quoting the Dead Ringers Christmas at Doctor Who's?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes he is. I love Deadringers

I am totally with you there! Eight was the king of badassery
He managed to do it all without angsting his face off about every other thing as well
Plus the 'Big Finish' audio productions just make him more awesome in my opinion
I really love your colouring here btw, especially the detail on eight's waistcoat and nine's jacket!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
really? I hated 9's jacket. Just kept experimenting till I stopped caring. Glad you like it!

Actually, now that you mention it, Eleven is the only modern Doctor to come close to that level badassery so early on.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have yet to see Eleven as a badass or anything close.

I absolutely love eight; besides he is the one who has more extra TV material
Funny dialogue

really? I always try but fail at humor...

don't worry, that one is very good

Why swings? No idea
Eight is pretty badass, yeah
I think he'd make a BRILLIANT magician.
He's amazing at sleight of hand. Seriously.
I'd like to point out that 11 wasn't quite useless without his sonic in the Eleventh Hour, it didn't really do anything but get him out of some handcuffs.
But yeah, they would've been screwed (no pun intended, really) in the Beast Below if they hadn't used the sonic to get out of the mouth.
Kinda being nitpicky, sorry, just wanted to mention it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, to be fair, his screwdriver was broken in the Eleventh Hour. He didnt have a need to use it in the Beast Below, although I am surprised he didnt shine it at his "fish". I'm noticing that fish are a common thing in this season. First Fish custard, then an escaped fish and space whale, and then [link] !/photo.php?pid=4172272&id=47531376765 .

Yeah, I know... but he managed.
Yes, something very fishy seems to be going on. (Okay that pun was intentional)
Uh, broken link. To facebook?
Maybe fish have something to do with the cracks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
maybe. The link was to a photo on Matt Smith's page on Facebook of Amy stepping out of the Tardis with a fish on a platter.

Hmm... Fish again. It is indeed a bit odd.
OOH, maybe that's the word this time round? Like Bad Wolf or something? Just... fish?
It's a bit weird, sure, but... it could be

I thought the crack was the "Vote Saxon" of this series. Although Series four had the Medusa Cascade, The bees disappearing, and "There's something on your back", so they may have multiple this time around as well
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mm, sort of what I was thinking too.
But the crack is visible, we need a word too ;D
But I don't remember any visuals from the previous arcs except for Bad Wolf, but that was words so...

Oh yes... but it was related. Oh, of course, that means this is also... related..
