[owlboy]

The Devil's Chord - RTD
Boom - Moffat
73 Yards - RTD

Rogue - Kate Herron
The Legend of Ruby Sunday - RTD
Empire of Death - RTD

[elisi]

Jinx makes ~music~! (Ruby looks very stylish in that episode.)

[elisi]

RTD has written SIX episodes. Holy shit. He's after Moffat's crown, me thinks.

I have managed to scroll past new Doctor Who stuff on tumblr, and I did skip the first trailer you posted. At the same time I really want to join in on the squee and happy :D To watch or not to watch!

[elisi]

That is... entirely up to you! ^_^

The airing date is 11 May, so only a little more than a month to go.

[kazzy_cee]

Wow - exciting!

[elisi]

Just over a month to go...

[promethia_tenk]

Ok, this is what I wanted with the previous trailer. It's got ~momentum.

[promethia_tenk]

This excites me, honestly. Maybe it'll make for a more arc-y season.

[elisi]

We're on a drip feed.

[promethia_tenk]

Beats the previous starvation diet.

[elisi]

Only 8 episodes, we'll need an arc. :(

[elisi]

True. Although I think I liked Flux?

No wait, you were talking about trailers. I can't remember the Flux trailers. Were there any? *is off to check*

[promethia_tenk]

The contraction of tv seasons is just getting silly. Everything feels rushed, all the time.

When the world seemed to standardize on 12, it was an improvement over old network seasons, but now it feels like 8 is the new 12, and I'm sorry, that's no longer tv. It's a mini-series.

[promethia_tenk]

'Space Babies' honestly feels like a piss-take of Moffat, and I'm here for it.

[promethia_tenk]

But I like that Rusty's doing almost all of them. Make it more auteur-y.

[promethia_tenk]

Flux was great and felt like vindication of my long-standing desire for serialized Doctor Who.

But yes, I meant trailers and other promo stuff.

I mean, probably? But at a guess it was 20 seconds long and we weren't paying attention by that point.

[elisi]

It's a mini-series.
This.

[elisi]

I'm not complaining, but it's interesting! I wonder if he can keep it up...

[elisi]

Agreed! ^_^

[promethia_tenk]

I was sold with just the costume, but I love her delivery there. V. much looking forward to what I'm assuming is ep 2.

[elisi]

Wish the ending had been grander, but at least it tried.

But yes, I meant trailers and other promo stuff.
My head was in a previous comment...

I found it, and I remember it now. The battle scenes/Sontarans were v exciting.

ETA: Also found something else! ^_^

[promethia_tenk]

Honestly if he's writing 6/8, it's a little weird to me that he had anybody else in at all. At that point, why not just write the whole season?

Or, you know, bring in another 4 people so we can get a whole season.

At least they're working so far in advance that if it's not working they have plenty and plenty of time to fix it.

[promethia_tenk]

He is my favorite writer of anything ever, and he needs to be brutally mocked.

[elisi]

Look, we know how stressful it is to write. If he can offload a it to others [that he trusts] then it makes sense.

Or, you know, bring in another 4 people so we can get a whole season.
This is a better argument. Unless Disney are behind the 'only 8 episodes'.

At least they're working so far in advance that if it's not working they have plenty and plenty of time to fix it.
True.

[elisi]

He would want nothing else.

[owlboy]

she can do anything <3

[sea_thoughts]

I really hope Ruby gets to live after all this.

[elisi]

Companion exists are tricky. But after The Toymaker's whole puppet theatre of Companions Past, I hope RTD will write a happy exit. (crosses fingers)

[sea_thoughts]

I hope so, too. But I also know he loves The Drama so... I'm nervous. I am definitely looking forward to the historical episodes, though. (And Moff's, but that goes without saying, right?)

I am SO ZEN it's ridiculous. Maybe I used up all my worries and angst for Good Omens and OFMD? Not complaining, being zen is nice. However I am counting on RTD to make me care about Ruby (unlike the Fam who were lovely and yet I never had any strong emotions).

I am definitely looking forward to the historical episodes, though. (And Moff's, but that goes without saying, right?)
Same here. :)
