I have a guide for the first half of the EDAs here:

The Eighth Doctor

(I liked Kursaal) Even though I’m generally a completionist, there’s definitely quite a few EDAs you can skip if you just want the highlights and major plot beats. Broadly speaking, at least for the first half, Kate Orman’s the only one advancing the character beats, and Lawrence Miles is the only one advancing the plot, and the other writers just move around them. More specifically, my list of essentials for the first half of the EDAs is: Vampire Science Alien Bodies (Longest Day) Seeing I …

Just passing on a musical interlude…
Carry on…

Translated episode title in Danish on Prime:

“Store Vanskeligheder”

Translated back = Big Difficulties

Most generic Doctor Who title of all time.

Any guesses which episode?

Translated episode title in Danish on Prime:

At least you have it on Prime…

My guess is: Bad Wolf

[MrColdStream]

I’d say The Big Bang, because of … reasons

The one for Doomsday really cracked me up

Wait! Is Paul about to kick his best friend? That’s animal (robot? robot animal?) abuse!

Random thought after the finality. Would Doctor Who be better if we skipped bombastic finales and kept focusing on smaller and more intimate episodes? Are there any finales (of New Who) that are even close to the best episode of the season?

[BillFiler]

I think The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang is the closest we get to that

[ItsR0b0tNinja]

As much as I love the Eleventh Doctor, this finale has a ‘magic’ ending with Amy remembering the Doctor back into existence. This is my least favourite trope in DW.

[JayPea]

World enough and Time/Doctor Falls is close to best of the season but extemis exists,

It’s also a big bombastic one, but comparatively much lower stakes

I tend to find non-present day finales better because the stakes can be big and believable, bad wolf/parting of the ways, hell bent/heaven sent, world enough and time/the doctor falls

[JayPea]

I spoke a bit about my finale idea in the pitch your era thread, but also want to do a historical finale with the weeping angles in a sort of similar vein to The Weeping Angels of Mons with the angels offering people a way out of a horrific situation, doing a more character drama focused thing

[deltaandthebannermen]

Either that or it was for an unmade sequel to Doctor Who and the Pirates.

[MrColdStream]

Haven’t listened to that one yet

[DarthGallifrey]

I have and still don’t get it.

Paul McGann is standing on one leg - you know, like a peg leg pirate…

Honestly, I’m wasted round here.
