Classic and Modern ‘Who’ Characters who Should Return to ‘Doctor Who’

April 13, 2017

It was recently announced that John Simm’s incarnation of The Master will square off against The Doctor in the upcoming series, which happens to be the final one for Peter Capaldi and Steven Moffat’s. Monsters from The Doctor’s past are also returning, including the Mondasian Cybermen and Ice Warriors.

Needless to say, The twelfth Doctor’s final series is sure to be filled with many twists and surprises when it returns this Saturday, April 15. Friends and foes from The Doctor’s past (and future) are sure to pop up. So, who else should make a return – be it in series 10, or 11, or 12? Here are characters that should have another shot on Doctor Who.

(Just for fun, The Face of Boe, River Song, or Captain Jack Harkness are NOT on this list. They are on every single list of this nature, and it’s best to dig a little deeper.)

Prev Next

1. Susan Foreman

The Doctor’s first companion, and the granddaughter of The Doctor, the Time Lady was born Arkytior, but adopted the alias Susan Foreman and maintained it throughout her life. She was forced to depart the TARDIS by her grandfather, who believed that she needed to leave to pursue a normal life with a man she fell in love with.

Though Susan has returned numerous times in audio stories and novels, none of them are considered canon. Susan has presumably gone through a number of regenerations, as her grandfather did. Many expected her to return for the 50th anniversary special. Is she living a quiet life on earth? Or did she manage to find her own adventures in time and space, leading up to an inevitable path-crossing with her grandfather?

2. The Dream Lord

A psychic manifestation of The Eleventh Doctor’s character and given life by cosmic pollen, The Dream Lord taunted The Doctor, Amy, and Rory in the series 5 episode ‘Amy’s Choice.’ Toby Jones portrayed The Dream Lord as maniacal and downright creepy, questioning The Doctor and his companions’ reality, as well as testing their trust in each other. And let’s not forget that The Dream Lord was, quite literally, in their heads, which brings his villainy to a new level.

This “character,” or aspect of The Doctor’s persona is due for a comeback. What if The Dream Lord found a way to break free and become corporeal? What if he had the same ability to trap people in his dream world creations — this time on a global scale? That would make for some good TV.

3. The Rani

Like Like The Master, The Rani is a villainous Time Lady who knew both The Doctor and Master when they were youngsters. Played by Kate O’Mara, The Rani first appeared in the ‘Classic Who’ series 22 episode The Mark of the Rani against Colin Baker’s sixth Doctor. She would reprise her role a few years later, in the series 24 episode Time and the Rani, where her direct attack caused the regeneration of the sixth Doctor into Sylvester McCoy’s seventh Doctor. There was meant to be another story arc that featured Rani, but was shelved due to Doctor Who being put on hiatus in 1989.

Though not canon, she returned in the 1993 charitable special Dimensions in Time, where she attempts to trap the first seven incarnations of The Doctor in a time loop. She has since returned in a number of audio dramas and novels, but never officially since Doctor Who returned to airwaves in 2005. It was rumored that Melissa Gomez was playing The Rani when her character was still a mystery in series 8. That was obviously put to rest when it was revealed she was Missy, the latest regenerative form of The Master.

4. Jenny

Appearing in the series 4 episode The Doctor’s Daughter, Jenny was the clone/daughter of the Tenth Doctor, created from his DNA. The Doctor, Donna Noble and Martha Jones travel to the planet Messaline, arriving right in the middle of a war between humans the Hath. A sample of The Doctor’s skin is forcibly taken and, with future tech, creates a fully-grown woman in combat attire. The cloning, as it turns out, is a method to grow the number of soldiers to fight against the Hath. Little did they know they’d be cloning the last of the Time Lords.

Jenny takes a bullet for her “father,” when Cobb, the leader of the human army, is angered that The Doctor denied his murder of the Hath. Jenny dies, leaving The Doctor distraught. After he and his companions leave on the TARDIS, Jenny is miraculously revived, and leaves on an escape shuttle, saying she is has “a lot to see, planets to save, rescue civilizations, monsters to defeat, and an awful lot of running to do.” It seems like she took after her old man.

5. Omega

Omega was a Galifreyan, a founding member of the Time Lord Society, and the creator of the Eye of Harmony. The Eye of Harmony is the source energy for the planet Galifrey and their time travel technology. In the process of creating the energy, he was sucked into the black hole he created and imprisoned in a pocket universe where he gained god-like powers — as well as a desire for revenge.

The evil Time Lord made his first appearance in 4-episode story arc, The Three Doctors, featuring the first three incarnations of The Doctor trapped in the black hole Omega accidentally created. Omega would return in the Fifth Doctor episode Arc of Infinity, the audio play Omega, the novel The Infinity Doctors, and the game book Search for the Doctor.

6. Fenric/The Great Old Ones

Fenric, according to the TARDIS wikia, is also known as Hastur the Unspeakable, Aboo-Fenrán, the Wolf, and the Hunger. He was an immensely powerful, purely evil force, old as the universe itself. Fenric was a member of The Great Old Ones, God-like beings that existed before the universe itself, spreading evil, chaos, and destruction wherever they went. Fenric made his first appearance in the “Classic Who” series 26 episode The Curse of Fenric, an enemy of Sylvester McCoy’s Seventh Doctor. He would return in the audio stories Gods and Monsters and Black and White.

The Doctor defeated Fenric in a game of chess, sending him to a realm (contained within a flask) called The Shadow Dimension. It seems like a no-brainer to bring back a character like Fenric, along with the other Great Old Ones. It would make for a great sendoff to Capaldi’s Doctor, having him take on beings that represent the physical laws of the universe.

7. Clara/Ashildr

Clara Oswald, who seemed more like a filler companion for Matt Smith’s Doctor, really shined as a “carer” for Capaldi’s Time Lord. In the series 9 episode, Face of the Raven, Clara met her demise in a most emotional way. However, after spending 4.5 billion years trapped in a pocket universe that led him back to Galifrey, the Doctor found a way to save her. Pulled out of time by the Time Lords’ extractor technology, Clara was trapped between two heartbeats, technically dead but ageless and alive.

What’s an impossible girl to do? Join forces with Ashildr, a young viking girl given immortality by The Doctor. She popped up every now and again throughout series 9, burdened by her eternal life. Eventually, Ashildr helped Clara make The Doctor forget their time together on the TARDIS. The two then left aboard a new TARDIS. Clara decided to return to Gallifrey to face her death… eventually. Since her heart was literally frozen in time, and now ageless like Ashildr, there isn’t any harm in taking “a long way back.” Clara and Ashildr left Galifrey, exploring time and space in their very own TARDIS.

Many fans petitioned for a spin-off series, but both Jenna Coleman and Maisie Williams are tied up in other projects. But why should that stop them from crossing paths with The Doctor amidst their adventures in time and space.

8. Sutekh

A member of an alien race called the Osirians, and encountered by the Fourth Doctor in the ‘Classic Who’ series 13 episode Pyramids of Mars. Sutekh destroyed his planet and continued his destruction across the galaxy until his brother Horus imprisoned him in another dimensions.

Sutekh was a terrifying monster, and a truly formidable foe of The Doctors. He was easily able to possess humans to do his bidding. His powers of telekinesis even overpowered The Doctor himself. Sutekh is one of the top ‘Classic Who’ monsters that has yet to make an appearance in the new series.

9. The Eighth Doctor

Paul McGann’s Eighth Doctor made his first appearance in the underwhelming 1996 made-for-tv-movie in an attempt to revive the series after it had been off the air for a decade. Thankfully, the fans, as well as the creative minds behind Doctor Who would not let Eight’s story fall through the cracks of time. His incarnation has received a thorough fleshing out in audio books and novels over the last 20 years. And then there was The Night of the Doctor – a prequel minisode for the 50th anniversary special, The Day of the Doctor. His portrayal of a withered and desperate Time Lord for an all-too-brief 7 minutes was enough to get Whovians clamoring for more. There have been many petitions to bring the Eighth Doctor back in a spin-off series about his adventures leading up to and during the Time War.

The Doctor has crossed paths with his former and future selves a few times in the series history. Wouldn’t it be something to see McGann’s Doctor on our screens again? So come on, give Eight the chance he deserves.

Review: The Less than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal by E.K. Weaver

By

April 13, 2017

There are 3500 miles of road between Berkeley and Providence, and the titular TJ and Amal banter, bicker and drive across every inch of it in E.K. Weaver’s graphic novel, The Less than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal.

The graphic novel started posting online as a webcomic on December 16th, 2009, and the final strip posted on May 13, 2014. Three years later, the comic has won the 2015 Lambda Award for LGBT Graphic Novel and the 2016 Harvey Award for Best Graphic Novel reprint, and been nominated for the 2016 Eisner Award.

TJ AND AMAL: THE STORY

The story begins with Amal, a med student at Berkeley, marching out of his home after a fight. He goes to a bar, starts drinking, and meets a dreadlocked vagrant. Amal wakes up the next morning to said vagrant (TJ) making eggs in his kitchen. Apparently they made a deal last night to drive cross-country together, a deal in which Amal drives and TJ pays the bills.

It’s hardly a spoiler to give away that this is a romance comic. Amal’s sexuality and difficulty coming out to his parents is a major motivator of the story. However, TJ and Amal are fully realized people in their own right – far more than their sexualities and tragic pasts alone.It’s a road trip story, a coming-out story, a romance, and many other things besides. However, it never becomes a queer tragedy or a spectacle. It isn’t putting on a show for anybody. In fact, it reads more like a diary than anything else.

TJ AND AMAL: THE ART

TJ and Amal is Weaver’s first comic, but despite being a freshman effort, it’s a stellar example of how to use panel placement and body language to tell a story. Weaver sometimes goes full chapters without using dialogue, resting on her considerable art skills instead.

The entire comic is drawn and shaded in pencil graphite and ink, in full-page spreads. Weaver details the process here and goes more into depth in an interview with Comics Alliance.

“Depending on detail, content, and amount of retouch needed, a single page can take anywhere from 4 hours to 25 hours. I’d say my current average is 10 hours per page from pencils to print-ready.”

–EK WEAVER

It’s a labour of love, and the work shows on every single page.

The Less than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal is available in softcover and hardcover here, or read online in its entirety. It is recommended for readers 18 and above.

E.K. Weaver has a Patreon and a Twitter.

“The Mist” TV Show – What We Know So Far

By

Jamesey Lefebure

-

April 13, 2017

Spike TV has finally released the trailer for their adaptation of “The Mist“. Based on the 200 page novella by Stephen King and drawing from the 2007 movie of the same name. Th network has kept details of the show scarce. Until now!

This will be the story of a town trying to escape the nightmares that live within “The Mist”. All the while trying to survive the fear and danger that those around them will also pose. Very little has been revealed in the trailer. There is enough however to get us excited.

New Characters

The Copeland’s

Eve Copeland (Alyssa Sutherland) – A school teacher who has often been the center of small town gossip. She’s had a wild past that will catch up with her when she delivers a controversial sex education class. Show creator Christian Torpe has said in an EW interview, ”She was sort of a wild child, and the town still subliminally holds her sexuality against her. There’s a lot of misogyny under the surface.”

Alex Copeland (Gus Birney) – From the trailer it appears that she will be stranded with her mother. She has been described as the opposite to her mother. A young woman who plays by the rules but has started to develop a rebellious streak as “The Mist” rolls into town.

Kevin Copeland (Morgan Spector) – Described as the eternal nice guy with a strong moral compass. It will be interesting to see how his choices are affected by the mysterious mist outside. Torpe had this to say about him,“He believes in all the right values of kindness and forgiveness, but they’re easy values for him. He’s never been tested. I wanted to test: Does he have the courage of his convictions, or will he break under enough pressure?”

Small Town, Big Characters

The Copeland family aren’t the only characters we will be seeing in the show however.

Nathalie Raven (Frances Conroy) – The Copeland’s neighbor. Her character description sounds familiar to original movie villain Mrs Carmody. Part prophet, part martyr Nathalie sounds like she will be helping to fill the human horror aspect of the show. She is going to have strong ties with the town sheriff. With Conroy on board though, this is a role that will be captivating to watch.

Jonah Dixon – (Okezie Morro) – An amnesic soldier. In the trailer we are led to believe he is tied to the mysterious Arrowhead. A key feature of the movie were the links between Arrowhead and the arrival of “The Mist”. As his memory returns will the audience perception of him change?

Mia Lambert – (Danica Curcic) – She will be teaming up with Jonah. A Drug addict, she is in town searching for money. She appears battered and bloody at one point in the trailer. How far is she willing to go to get to the cash?

“It’s more about people seeking answers than the answers themselves,”

Gus Redman – (Isiah Whitlock Jr) – Mall facility manager. Thorpe had this to say about the character “With a good hundred survivors trapped in the mall, he tries to rise to the occasion and become the respected leader he always felt he was supposed to be. He’s trying to establish his own empire.”

Connor Heisel – (Darren Pettie) – The town sheriff. He is going to have a twisted “mother-son” sort of relationship with Nathalie Raven. He is the father to high school football player Jay. Will he have to suffer through the repercussions of his son’s violent tendencies?

Jay Heisel – (Luke Cosgrove) – The local jock and son to town sheriff. He has been accused of a brutal crime. In the trailer he appears to be kissing another male cast member before the situation turns violent.

Adrian Garff – (Russell Posner)- He will be “insecure young teenager who comes to the defense of his best friend Alex, after she is the victim of a brutal crime. A witness to the crime, he finds himself at the center of a controversy which threatens to rip apart the community.” Could be he the person Jay is kissing in the trailer?

Multiple Locations

The original movie and novella set all the action within the confines of a supermarket. The setting was part of what worked so well in the movie. There was no escape past the parking lot. The few who tried almost all failed. Even those who did escape found that the choices outside were unthinkable.

The trailer however shows us multiple locations. There’s the mall where Gus Redman will be located. There’s also a church which seems to house Nathalie Raven. Further adding to the Mrs Carmody feel to her character. Will she be preaching the word of the Lord though? Near the end of the trailer in flashes we see what looks like a hotel and a hospital. While these could be flashbacks it seems unlikely. One interesting shot in the trailer seems to the show grocery store from the original Darabont movie. Although this could just be coincidence. It’s also been confirmed that “The Mist” will roll in slowly to the town.

“We establish different little pressure cookers”

Adding multiple locations with different characters will be an interesting twist on the original. Especially if they used the chance to expand on the bones of the movie which will be taking place at the same time. It would be a good opportunity to show us what happened to the people in the chemist’s. A vital part of the original film. Building upon events that are currently happening only stands to add flesh to the original novella.

Potential Answers

In his EW Interview show creator Christian Torpe stated, “It has a constant ebb and flow communication with the novella. But who knows? Maybe some of the original characters will make a cameo at some point.” Could he be referring to Melissa McBrides character who was desperate to get home to her children and stood to be one of the few survivors? Eagle eyed viewers of the Frank Darabont movie also noticed a certain cowboy painting at the start of the movie. Could this show also provide a link with the upcoming Dark Tower movie? With so many Stephen King projects coming out this year, the opportunities to link is certainly there.

The Human Threat

While the trailer does hint at monsters from the great beyond, it goes to great lengths to not show any. We get a slight teasing with the below image taken from instagram. Not quite on the same scale as the Lovecraftian monsters from the original movie.

On set shopping.

A post shared by Christian Torpe (@ctorpe78) on Nov 16, 2016 at 11:01pm PST

What we do get to see however is the human dangers. Much like the original, it seems that the majority of the horror will come within. Torphe seems to emphasis this “We look around at what’s going on in the world, and everyone is constantly looking for someone to blame, or someone to lead them to the promised land. They find people to hate, either because of their gender or race or faith. Those are elements we tap into — how fear drives things like misogyny and homophobia.”

Hurry Up June 22nd!

We also finally have an air date. The ten part series will be debuting June 22nd at 9pm. We will be tuning in eager to experience the horror once again. Will you?

Sam Elliott Will Star In a Movie Called ‘The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then Bigfoot’

April 13, 2017

Sam Elliott is going to be in a movie, from producer John Sayles and director Robert Krzykowski, called The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then Bigfoot. Is there really anything else you need to know to be excited for this one?

In case maybe you do, here’s a little plot from the Deadline repor t:

The story follows a legendary American war veteran named Calvin Barr (Elliott) who, decades after serving in WWII and assassinating Adolf Hitler, must now hunt down the fabled Bigfoot. Living a peaceful life in New England, the former veteran is contacted by the FBI and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to lead the charge as the creature is carrying a deadly plague and is hidden deep inside the Canadian wilderness.

So, yeah, sounds pretty wild. But in all the best ways. The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then Bigfoot is the sort of movie we need more of, films with wildly imaginative originality. And Sam Elliott in the lead role is pretty kickass in and of itself.

There’s no other news surrounding cast or release date, but the movie will start shooting this August. Keep an eye out for (inhales) The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then Bigfoot.

Raised on a sheltered island paradise, Diana meets an American pilot (Chris Pine) who tells her about the massive conflict that’s raging in the outside world. Convinced that she can stop the threat, Diana leaves her home for the first time. Fighting alongside men in a war to end all wars, she finally discovers her full powers and true destiny.

Wonder Woman is directed by Patty Jenkins and stars Gal Gadot (Diana Prince), Chris Pine (Steve Trevor), Connie Nielsen (Hippolyta), Lucy Davis (Etta Candy), Robin Wright (Antiope), David Thewlis (Ares).

‘The Bad Batch’ Gets an Awesomely Weird New Trailer

By

Larry Taylor - Managing Editor

April 13, 2017

The Bad Batch comes from A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night director Ana Lily Arimpour, and who knows what this thing is really going to be about judging from this new, kickass, completely bizarro trailer.

Check it out:

All we have for a synopsis is “A dystopian love story in a Texas wasteland and set in a community of cannibals.” Sounds good to me. The trailer hums along and the voiceover from Keanu Reeves is pretty stellar work. This thing is gonna be bonkers.

The Bad Batch will be a tough film to market, but it’s also something that a certain group of cinephiles already can’t wait to see. It stars Jason Momoa, Keanu Reeves, Jim Carrey (!), Diego Luna, Giovanni Ribisi, and Suki Waterhouse. Neon will release it June 23.

Five Things to Look Forward to in Doctor Who Series 10

By

Merinda Brayfield

-

April 13, 2017

April 15th brings Doctor Who Series 10. It’s been a long time without any fresh Doctor Who. The last episode of Series 9 aired in September 2015. Last year’s Christmas Special gave us a small dose, but at long last we have a brand new series to look forward to. This will be the last for both Stephen Moffat as showrunner and Peter Capaldi as the Doctor.

There are spoilers ahead, if you don’t want any ideas about what is coming.

Prev Next

5. Nardole and Bill Potts

Nardole and Bill Potts

Nardole was introduced in The Husbands of River Song. He seems to have tagged along after to make sure the Doctor was more or less okay. It’s been stated that he won’t be in every episode of the series, but in a lot of them.

Bill Potts is the new companion, stepping into the shoes of Clara Oswald. Not much is known about her character as of yet, but she’ll appear starting in the first episode. Her character is openly gay. She seems inquisitive, always a good trait for a companion. It’s already been announced that she we leave after this series, to give the next showrunner a fresh start.

4. John Simm as the Master

It’s not explained exactly how, but John Simm, who last appeared as the Master at the end of the Tenth Doctor’s run in 2010, returns in this series. The episode will have both his incarnation of the Master as well as the more recent Missy. Between the Master and Missy there may not be any scenery left to chew.

3. Mondasian Cybermen

This series will mark a return to the classic, original, Cybermen. The new series has always used an update version of the Cybermen. These are Cybermen as seen in their first Doctor Who episode, The Tenth Planet, in 1966. Interestingly that was the first episode with a regeneration, and it seems they may be involved with the regeneration of Twelve as well as One. This season also sees a return of the Ice Warriors.

2. Screenwriter Rona Monroe

runa monroe

As usual, Doctor Who Series 10 has quite a few returning writers and directors. Rona Monroe is different, in that, with this, she will be the first person to write for both Classic and New Doctor Who. She wrote Survival, the last episode of the original run. Doctor Who has sometimes taken heat for a lack of female writers, and it’s good to see there are two this season. In addition, Rachel Talalay returns to direct the final two episodes as she did in Season 9.

1. Regeneration

Twelfth doctor regeneration

All things must end, and so, by the end of this series, the Twelfth Doctor will be no more. There were rumors Peter Capaldi was asked to stay on, but it was decided that he would leave with Stephen Moffat. This will give Chris Chibnall, who is taking over reigns, a fresh start with his own Doctor and companion. This has also led to speculation that the new Doctor will arrive with Christmas.

There many things to look forward to in Doctor Who series 10. What are you most excited about?

Look up at the CW! Superman AND Cat Grant Return for ‘Supergirl’ Season Finale

By

Michael Fromm

April 13, 2017

The Man of Steel and (former) CEO of CatCo Worldwide Media are returning to National City! E! News reports that Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman is returning for the season finale of Supergirl, airing May 22 on the CW. To make the finale that much more awesome, Entertainment Weekly broke the news that Cat Grant, played by Calista Flockhart, is also set to return to the CW series for its season finale.

Superman/Clark Kent was alluded to many times during season 1 of Supergirl. He chatted with his cousin Kara via instant messenger. His name appeared in newspaper headlines. He was even seen a few times, though blurred or from a distance.

In the first episodes season 2, we got our first look at the ‘Arrowverse’ version of The Man of Steel, portrayed by Hoechlin. Unlike other versions in the movies and television, this Superman has been saving the day for a while. He is portrayed as a true, blue, selfie-taking boy scout that a certain cinematic universe should take a lesson from.

A series regular in season 1, Flockhart’s Cat Grant exited after the second episode of the current season. This was presumably due to production moving to Vancouver when the CW acquired Supergirl in between seasons 1 and 2 from CBS. What snarky yet sage advice will Grant give Kara/Supergirl after her extended hiatus from National City?

There are no details yet as to the plot of the season finale. It is safe to assume that it will be the culmination of multiple story-lines. There are the ones featuring Cadmus/Lillian Luthor, Rhea (Mon-El’s murderous mom played by Teri Hatcher), and President Olivia Marsdin (Lynda Carter).

Cat Grant and Superman return on the season finale of Supergirl, airing May 22 on the CW.
