Yeah, I posted a few images of the half finished TARDIS we did a few pages back. I'll upload photos of these projects and the now 90% complete TARDIS at the end of the week.
On that note, anyone have an idea what we could use for the eye-bulb on a dalek? I can make the lens no problem on a laser cutter, but the black rubbery bulb thing is throwing us for a loop.
:lol @ your tag, I saw your post in the Steam thread but only now noticed you got tagged.

It depends entirely on which gen dalek you are trying to build and how accurate or how much you want to spend on it. You could spray a rubber ball black and cut in it half or you could built a custom one with a few wood joints.
You're trying to line up timelines that purposely do not line up. River may be a straight line going forward, but the Doctor's is a weird wibbly-wobbly line going all over. Nobody mentions that she's died, because she's already dead, and she's been dead from the beginning, i.e. her first meeting with the Tenth Doctor.
Note, I'm not saying that she's a holographic projection the whole time. It's just that she died well before we saw most of her life.
Time travel can be confusing.

get the fuck out of here-that's awesome!! You should have asked him when he's filming the Webisodes-try to get an answer out of him.

Go back to sleep-you're very confused. She died the first time we and The Doctor ever met her in Silence in the Library. There would be no need to mention her dying between The Angels Take Manhattan and Name of the Doctor.
She could very well appear as "Living River" in the next episode (although it won't happen) because she and the Doctor continue to meet each other out of chronological order.
Ten once came into a bar I worked out. I served him drinks. I spoke to him. I TOUCHED HIS MONEY.
He came across quite rude

YESSSSS. Gimme that Asylum theme, the Rings of Akhaten suite, The Final Chapter of Amelia Pond, Anti-Grav, end of the Snowmen and TNOTD This Is Gallifrey arrangement.

If you haven't already, listen to the 8th Doctor Adventures starting with Storm Warning, I found it good to get some more insight on the 8th Doctor outside of what we got in the movie.

Finally! Shame it doesn't seem to be coming out 'till autumn though. That's, what, about two years after the Series 6 set?

YES.
I was thinking about going with the 8th Doctor stuff. Big Finish are the only ones who have done audio plays, right?

Yeah I struggled to believe it was him! Nobody else has that weird pursed mouth, but he was literally in it for 5 minutes. I'm not familiar with the books, so maybe we'll be seeing him again?
Paul McGann is in Luther, woah.

Were I in charge, I'd do something similar: a whole season of Clara and Alternate-Eight, who is aware that he should not exist and will cease to be once things are fixed, jumping back and forth through time to restore the Doctor's timestream to it's previously undamaged (well, less damaged) state. The season would end with alternate-8 and Clara completing the job, alt-8 bowing out of the picture as the timeline snaps back into it's proper state, and Clara finding herself back with a restored 11th.
Then, were Matt interested in continuing on for more Who after that hiatus, he could do just that, and if not, then regeneration into the 12th during a special. OR...I think it'd be an amazing fake-out to have The Doctor surprisingly regenerate during the first episode of a new season. That way would probably make it much easier to mislead fans about the casting of a new Doctor.

I hope so. I can only watch the various YouTube fan-mades for so long before going insane.
Yeah, really fanfic lol. Sorry, I'd just prefer to have a new Doctor, and Matt leave for good. I do wish McGann had got more time as the Doctor, but there's the rumored web mini-series for that, and to be honest if Hurt really is

Just do a series of pre-Unearthly Child adventures with David Bradley and Claudia Grant.

I'd be genuinely surprised if they didn't. They've debuted new trailers for The End of Time and the back half of series 6 there before.
Annoyingly, it took them about 4 months to upload a clean copy of the End of Time trailer. We had to make do with a crowd-cam version.

I really want that box set, but the current price on Amazon is crazy expensive.

Wow, I bet series 1 and 2 look like an awful joke at 1080p. Nice set, though.
The problem with all this stuff is it's too backwards-looking, though. It'd be cool, but for the sake of the show it's better for them to move onwards and upwards - no reverse regenerations or any of that crap. Let Matt go, and move on, swiftly. It's how the show survives.

Yeah, I still don't know how some of that content will look in HD.
I should really just stick with what I have now.

Yeah, just Big Finish stuff from him I think.

Oh shit. This is tempting. Though, more intriguing is Series 1-4 on blu-ray.
The Next Doctor wasn't filmed in HD, to give an example, and the upscaling did a serviceable job, but is sure to bother some people. I'm hoping they did a better job with this release.

IMO it's a bit of a rubbish/incomplete set as it obviously will be missing Matt's last one (or two) episodes. They should've waited!

And hosted by Craig Ferguson! I hope it gets online somewhere, because I love Craigy Ferg and he will obviously have a blast hosting that panel.

Interesting. I will wait to read impressions of the upconversion of series 1-4.

That's the exact thing I thought when I looked at it. "Well - that's not gonna have the 50th anniversary on it? That's an incomplete set, then."
Also - Big Finish's "The Eighth Doctor Adventures" is pretty good. If you're thinking about checking out McGann, that's probably the best bet - it's a self-contained 4-season run of stories with (mostly) one companion.
It leads into "Dark Eyes" which is the most recent radio drama - and the one that finally gave McGann's Doctor a bit of a makeover.

Yeah, it's probably why they've waited so long to do a multi-Doctor story, so people could get over Tennant. My girlfriend has literally just made her peace with Smith!
And yeah, Gelth and Reapers in 1080p. Fucking yikes.

Looks to basically be a similar version of the DVD 1-6 box LE released last Christmas. Only that came with a sonic screwdriver, comic book and three lithographs of the doctors and companions.

Apparently the specials aren't included in that, which upsets me. Not that I could afford it anyhow, but jeeze, if you are putting out an awesome boxset of the series, why not have all the bloody episodes?

No specials, no 50th?

I would be interested in seeing how the pre-HD seasons handle Blu-Ray, but that looks like you get the piece meal Smith sets, which likely don't include specials and all bonus features (S6, why did I go cheap for you?).
And $350 is insane.

No specials? That is like missing an entire series. Would be pretty jarring to go from the end of series 4 to beginning of series 5.

My advice; buy yourself a Sonic Screwdriver for £15 and wait for Series 7 to come to Netflix.
StrikerObi

That wouldn't also be a universal remote. But you can get that on it's own about $100 and wait for netflix on the episodes.
OH SNAP, S1-4 remastered for bluray! This will be great!
[well, except special effects, I dont think they had money to remade them for high resolutions]

They won't have done anything to them. They'll be an upscale, that's it.
He'd just finished performing with the RSC so obviously spirits were high. I was more than happy to serve him and we did chat but as the night went on, he was obviously getting more and more tired and as he did, he became more and more arrogant and obnoxious, really going with the 'Don't you know who I am?' attitude. It really shocked me. I wasn't put off him as an actor because, well, he's the motherfucking Doctor but it seriously did change my outlook on him as a person.
Aw, that's too bad. My admittedly short encounter with the world of acting showed me that actors can indeed be petty and arrogant, but still, I would expect the guy to be humbled by his success, if anything. I don't know how I would actually feel in his shoes though.
Just to be sure: RSC stands for Royal Shakespeare Company, right? I'm not British.

While the upscale may be terrible - that set has one incredible redeeming quality.
THE SPINES! They look like a proper set! And the logo changes where necessary, but still consistent! an OCD collector's dream!

It does indeed. He, along with the likes of Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen and a few others, do a bit of work at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
