My son is convinced the new season was supposed to start on 5/14. Not sure where he got that information from but he was pretty disappointed that there are no new episodes yet.
Anyone know when the premiere is? We saw them live last month and they listed a bunch of new animals, so my kids are chomping at the bit!
I have a theory - and I might be wrong - that folks who grew up on Classic Who like the Moffat era more than RTD, because his version of the Doctor is closer to the Classic era - but I could be wrong.
I also think that Chibs was trying to harken back to the Classic era, but with more mixed results...
I'm a Tom Baker completist and was hemming and hawing about buying the season because of everything I saw on Reddit and YouTube.
I finally bit the bullet a few weeks ago and just finished the set today. I work in film and TV and there was literally nothing that was egregious at all.
Sure, I noticed a subtle ai clean up on The Android Invasion and Terror of The Zygons but it wasn't slop and I don't think I would have really noticed if not for the online conversation.
Am I wrong in thinking that it's not a big deal and all and actually looks fine?
Really my only issue with the set is that it's not a super big step up visually from the DVDs - but given that physical media doesn't sell like it used to and the original wasn't in HD, it's not a big deal. Happy to support the releases and the bonus features are fun.
After listening to this week's secret pod, I feel like they'll be a lot more comfortable with him after giving this a watch. He comes across as a completely sane, grounded guy who genuinely wants to make this country a better place.
