    Yeah I personally am not sure how to feel about Mila and Ashton. I kinda sympathize, if a really good friend of mine was accused of something horrible, I think my first instinct would be to come to their defense. It can be hard to see the worst in people you care about even in face of evidence.

    I also didn't particularly enjoy this episode - and I am extremely happy to find that you had a similar feeling... As I am a cis-het white male, and one who does not typically enjoy drag shows, there was a part of me that wondered whether me not liking the episode would imply to others that I was purely discriminating against the actor playing the villain, and while I try to be as understanding and accepting as possible, part of me also wondered if I subconsciously wasn't as accepting as I always try to be. I certainly think the episode had some good ideas, and the idea of music suddenly disappearing, and it changing the hearts and minds of the people was a clever one - but it was only when you said about Maestro's performance being always turned up to 11 that I really noticed, and realised that it was that lack of subtlety that also put me off of this one. Thankyou for so eloquently expressing what I didn't even realise I was feeling!

    I will admit to have had my emotions get the better of me in some discussions. I definitely feel like there are a multitude of lines that intersect between what content is presented within the product, how it coincides with the creator’s beliefs and values, and what the viewer’s own interpretation of said product and values they take from both product and creator. I also feel that separating art from the artist or calling death of the author is all very case by case thing. Not one of has a fully definitive answer, but what I feel is most important is that you at least are able to recognise the potential shortcoming in the media you engage with and understand how, while it might not affect you, it can cross that threshold for others.

    My head canon for the Fugitive Doctor is the season 6b theory, between Troughoton and Pertwee. If we extend this to the Shelka Doctor, and consider the 'all nine of me' remark, it would imply at least seven season 6b Doctors (which may or may not include the Fugitive Doctor). Works for me.

  • @alunrundle162
    @alunrundle162 12 годин тому

    The revival actually owes A LOT to Scream of the Shalka. When they started developing this there were a mass pile of rights issues they had to sort out, some involving pepperpot like aliens. When Russel T. ran across these same issues he was told of this series... and the fact they'd sorted out most of the issues in developing their series of ongoing adventures.

    19:48 - not sure if this is accurate, but my take was that the scan understood how OLD the doctor was too - regenerations spanning across time - so it knew he couldn’t be these particular shapeshifters because they probably only live one cycle, versus the Doctor’s 14/15 (?) at this point?

    I enjoyed the Sound of Shalka iteration of the Doctor. I always assumed the War Doctor regenerated into him. (Moffat mentioned in DWM that he specifically didn't show Hurt regenerating into Eccleston because E declined to be involved in the 50th anniversary, and hiring a stand-in would be disrespectful to E's wishes.) So in my "head canon" I deduced Hurt changed into Grant, but wasn't quite imprinted (like Romana in Destiny of the Daleks) and shifted into Eccleston, where his form finally set. But I like your idea that Grant's Dr. is contemporary to Martin's. I am not easily persuaded, but you have given me a perspective to contemplate. Thank you for showing me a different angle.

    I haven't seen this since it first aired, but looking at the images brings me such a warm feeling of nostalgia. I was ready for REG's Doctor to have adventures with Alison and the robo-Master. I bought the novelization. I stayed late at work to watch these, since my internet at home was still dial-up, and school was faster. And I remember initially being GUTTED when the announcement that REG wouldn't be the live-action 9th Doctor was made. For a brief window, REG WAS the 9th Doctor, even after the announcement that the show was coming back. The people on the Yahoo Doctor Who mailing list were so stoked for new live-action, and just waiting for the announcement for REG. And then it was Christopher Eccleston, whom I'd never heard of, and had to rely on others to tell me who he was. I watched 28 Days Later just because it was something he was in that was accessible to me at the time. And I fell in love with his Doctor right away - from the first "Run!" - but I was still sad in those early, pre-"Rose" days, that Richard E. wasn't the "real" Doctor. This video makes me want to rewatch, since I've got Shalka on DVD now. It's been 20 years or so since I watched it, and just the clips shown here remind me of how much I loved it. Thank you for a trip down memory lane, Vera! And I am beyond excited that RTD made the Shalka!Doctor canon!

  • @NicoleM_radiantbaby
    @NicoleM_radiantbaby 16 годин тому

    Man, I am such a long-time mega-fan of 'Scream of the Shalka' -- in fact, IMO, Shalka!Nine is WAAAAAY more interesting to me than Eccleston!Nine. (And truly wish for more stories with him, Allison, and his android boyfriend) ❤❤ Still, I think the most interesting this to me about this canonization is that RTD has been on the record for ages as HATING Shalka. In fact he's even said he hated REG's porformance calling it 'lazy' and 'phoned it' (SMDH!), so I have to wonder if he's come around or what. [EDITED TO ADD: Commented before finishing the video, so this was already touched on later in the vid] Only time will tell, I guess. P.S. I do really love the homoerotic queer elements of this story, btw. The whole Doctor with an android that looks like the Master in what seems like 'The Odd Couple' pairing (I mean that answering machine message is so shippy) is PERFECTION in my eyes.

    The Doctor states where he lands he is the Ninth Doctor. The Master is the War Master and he worked with the war doctor over the time war. So it puts an one off where the reboot doctors lay. So technically there is seventeen known doctors. The fugitive Doctor before William Hartel and Richard just before the reboot ninth Doctor.
