I’ll put it on the list
I still don’t really know what to make of Kerblam!, it’s a good story put the messaging is so muddled.
Is it against Space Amazon, does it encourage us to buy more stuff from Amazon?
I’ve no idea.
But there’s literal killer bubble wrap, does it get more Doctor Who than that.
Yeah it’s definitely very muddled at the end and certainly a big drop from the explicitly anti-capitalist Oxygen just a season earlier. But I see what it’s going for and I do feel there’s an argument for episodes that are tackling specific modern issues to try to present solutions that are more politically palatable, even if I’d have enjoyed a bit of a more scathing anti-capitalist take.
Well, my first choice might be The Curse of Fatal Death. Not sure that’s where the question is intended to go, though. So, sticking to “proper” Who, and since Flux has already been discussed…maybe Turn Left. I think that there’s an opportunity to expand on the alternate history we got in the episode and do some interesting stuff with it.
All of them. Every single one that hasn’t been done yet. By the original authors whenever possible. If not - I could even have a go myself! I could be the next Terrance Dicks…!
I would like to see Listen, and It Takes You Away get novelized, the latter moreso, to see more of the frog, the Antizone, and the weird creature that was supposed to be in it but didn’t get in it, not too much changed but its cool, the last scene could also be slightly bettter
I guess it would be weird if the bulk of the book simply consisted of one paragraph repeated over and over and over. Or even mostly identical paragraphs with only slight variations. Could be a rough read.
Closest thing I can think of would be Jim Mortimore’s Campaign novel, but that one went through a lot greater variation than I think this one could. But maybe there’s a cool approach that would work, that I’m not coming up with.
by ‘not sure if it can properly transfer into writing’ I’m talking about how the episode feels, how it looks and the stunning visuals. It could easily lose that in writing if it’s not done properly.
This just gives me flashbacks to a sequence in the anime “The Melancholy of Suzumiya Hiroshi” called “The Endless Eight”. They aired eight episodes of the anime that were all the same episode with minor changes!
Basically, Hiroshi’s unconscious godlike reality warping powers were causing the same day to repeat itself until the day went perfectly. Great idea, but they really should have just hit the changes rather than repeating the same episode, as it was not the easiest to get through…
Actually, yes, the Flux novelisations would be very welcome. I do enjoy that short season, but there are plenty of points where a little fleshing out would work wonders!
Moffat’s a good choice for Heaven sent. I hope it will work in story format
I haven’t even thought about that for Asylum of the Daleks. I was mainly thinking about Oswin being in a dream world and expanding on that but yeah it could probably get disturbing if it explores what happened before and at the end.
