Series 13 Trailer | Doctor Who
timeywimey
Im disappointed that they're doing a story with less than half a season
timeywimey
Im sorry I dont have faith in Chris making a over-all story with a full season
timeywimey
much less; less of a full season
timeywimey
For the production of Series 13, the overall episode count will be reduced to eight episodes due to the COVID-19 pandemic
timeywimey
Doctor Who showrunner confirms three episodes cut fr...
timeywimey
and given Moffat's track record with messing up 11's half of a season
timeywimey
NO FAITH
timeywimey
but hey if this doesn't flop - color me surpised
𝔯𝔞𝔦𝔫𝔟𝔬𝔴 𝔭𝔦𝔯𝔞𝔠𝑦~
rofl
𝔯𝔞𝔦𝔫𝔟𝔬𝔴 𝔭𝔦𝔯𝔞𝔠𝑦~
I don't doubt it as much as you do but I'm not holding out much hope either
𝔯𝔞𝔦𝔫𝔟𝔬𝔴 𝔭𝔦𝔯𝔞𝔠𝑦~
whether it's good or bad it will be content
timeywimey
nod
𝔯𝔞𝔦𝔫𝔟𝔬𝔴 𝔭𝔦𝔯𝔞𝔠𝑦~
so long as it's not as bad as Orphan 55
timeywimey
I do wish this was just going to Yaz and 13
timeywimey
I dont know why we need three in the Tardis
𝔯𝔞𝔦𝔫𝔟𝔬𝔴 𝔭𝔦𝔯𝔞𝔠𝑦~
I hear you though I'm not that fussed about it myself
𝔯𝔞𝔦𝔫𝔟𝔬𝔴 𝔭𝔦𝔯𝔞𝔠𝑦~
though it does take some of the intimacy away from Doctor/companion it's at least not more than three
timeywimey
yes and thought at the end it meant we were going to get to know Yaz
timeywimey
because Yaz was more attached to 13 in the New YEars Special
timeywimey
and I couldnt figure out why
timeywimey
from a viewer standpoint
Exacerangutan
"you can tell everyone actually likes each other, and that makes this season so special!" .......it does?
timeywimey
yeeeeeah
Exacerangutan
they seem to be trying really hard to hype up how totally different this will be, but the specific things they say sound pretty standard for Doctor Who......
timeywimey
nod nod
timeywimey
well Chris pissed more than half the fan base off with the Timeless Child plot
timeywimey
So -
Exacerangutan
everything will this together into one story!! NEVER SEEN BEFORE!!!!! except, you know, insofar as that's... what a season is...
timeywimey
its gonna be a trick to recover from that
Exacerangutan
I guess it means he'll avoid totally forgettable filler episodes that don't contribute anything?
timeywimey
he'll have too
timeywimey
with just 8 epsiodes
Exacerangutan
I mean I guess Chibnall writing a season I like would be something I've never seen before, but they're probably not allowed to say that
timeywimey
nod thats with any producer
timeywimey
things have to be tight lipped even if this was a MCU movie
timeywimey
or some MCU show
timeywimey
the studio always tells the staff what is allowed to leak
Exacerangutan
"lots of cliffhangers and unanswered questions" doesn't fill me with confidence......
timeywimey
I think this would work better if the last season hadnt been what it was
timeywimey
because if this was something new like Wanda Vision coming out - the tatic would work better with cliffhangers and unanswer questions to build suspense
timeywimey
and thats why the suspense isnt working here because if you saw season 12
timeywimey
it was not impressive
timeywimey
I am with you; I want ressurance the writing wont flop
timeywimey
but they are bond by the BBC to keep quiet
timeywimey
because the BBC marketing team are probably making video promos now
timeywimey
though Chinballs main problem is walking away from the TimeLess Child plotline
timeywimey
and if we got stuff showing that he did - than I think we'd feel better
timeywimey
so far the only people I know that even want the Timeless Child plotline tend to be those who dont know anything about Classic Who or R.T.D. Who
timeywimey
so anyone who just started with Jodi as their Doctor
timeywimey
but yeah; the ratings speak for themselves and if Chibnall isnt careful
timeywimey
13 is going to be cancelled like 7 was - due to low ratings
Exacerangutan
...... that was kind of barely even a trailer
timeywimey
we'll get a better one closer; Im sure
timeywimey
this is SDCC and SDCC just builds hype for the fall/winter
timeywimey
I will say the trailer wasnt impressive
Exacerangutan
I maybe I presume so, but that's one of the most uninformative teasers I remember seeing for a new season of anything >_>
timeywimey
agreed
Exacerangutan
like, it'll have people we knew it would have, in at least 3 pretty typical situations for the series
timeywimey
I would think that in August we'll start getting plotline trailers
Exacerangutan
......which... fine, but also, the people who are going to be hype about a new season are hype because they already know that much, so...?
Exacerangutan
mmnh 
timeywimey
and usually this panel wouldnt be leaked to the public
timeywimey
so thats another thing too
timeywimey
usually when they do any clips at SDCC they edit those out for online
Exacerangutan
just remember, there's no egos, but Chibnall can do no wrong
timeywimey
LOL
timeywimey
Im not sure how much is Chibnall and how much is BBC when it comes to the video clips
