LeMarchand Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Anyone else fed up of the sonic sunglasses? Not so much fed up as puzzled. New sonic for each doctor = new merchandise opportunities. "Sonic sunglasses" = quick trip to the market for a matching pair.

"Sonic sunglasses" = quick trip to the market for a matching pair. I thought the original "Into wearable technology" line was ok and made sense as Davros had the (a) screwdriver but now it just feels... gimicky? not sure that's the correct word. I dunno, just doesn't seem right to me. We'll just have to see how long they hang around for.
Garacesh Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 They wouldn't have gone amiss on Matt Smith, as he was very quirky and gimmicky, but it suited him. Tennant could've made them work for one or two episodes, too. But I just don't feel they work too well on oh-so-serious Capaldi. And there's nothing wrong with having a very serious Doctor, I actually quite like it, it's a nice change, but the glasses seem so.. Out of place.

Maybe that's what it is, out of place, the glasses don't match Capaldi's style (or what I think his style to be). I've heard a lot of hate about Capaldi's doctor but I like him.
Duranis Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 The sunglasses are just stupid, for the one episode as a gag and because it fit, yeah why not. Permanent replacement is just taking an iconic piece of the franchise and swapping it with something terrible. The sonic screwdriver was always like a magic wand, it looked cool and could do anything. Sonic sunglasses, just look like sunglasses and when you do something more with them then put them on your face it looks stupid. Just to note I'm not a rabid Dr Who fan but this is a really odd decision by the writers.

witch Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 So - Vikings with horned helmets when it is known that they did not have such things? 1
6Foot2 Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Noooooo! Yes. I am afraid so: The Woman Who Lived Trailer - Series 9 Episode 6
LeMarchand Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 So - Vikings with horned helmets when it is known that they did not have such things? I questioned that, too! Apart from that, I quite enjoyed the episode and look forward to seeing where they go with it next week. On the other hand, while it's interesting to see the impact The Doctor has had in the odd episode, "New Who" seems overly concerned with it. Can't we just have adventures? Of interest to fans of the lovely Karen Gillan, a short by her about a horror film actress coping with her fall from stardom. Not seen it yet, but presumably NSFW.
Garacesh Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 So - Vikings with horned helmets when it is known that they did not have such things? I questioned that, too! Yeah, we all know they didn't, but the image of them still persists (and also most people don't know they didn't, despite it being proven.) Would have been nice if they'd not had the horns, and had Clara ask where they were, and the Doctor correct her. But given DW is primarily for entertainment, and the idea that they had horned helmets still persists, I get why they did it. Besides, it looks cooler, and shows like Dr. Who will always try and appease the rule of cool. I didn't find this one as good as episodes 3 and 4, but it was enjoyable nonetheless. Honestly, though, and I know there are many Game of Thrones fans (I confess to never watching it myself).. I found what's-her-face to be a little lacklustre. Her impassioned speech against Mr. Testosterone-Chugger was good, but aside from that.. Hmm. Maybe she'll shine better next episode?
sted Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 well that was boring when I watched it sunday morning (I cant even be bothered to remember what time its on anymore as it keeps changing) I could barely be bothered with it that was dull unless they start writing stuff that's better I think I may give up on dr who
Garacesh Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Her acting in The Woman Who Lived was much better than The Girl Who Died. I found the dialogue between them to be much better, too.
LeMarchand Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) I was wondering why Clara's makeup had changed. Obviously more slap = evil. Quite enjoyed this one, though the metaphor was a little OTT. Edited November 1, 2015 by LeMarchand Typo
