    I'm trying to not be annoyed by his reasoning but I'm sure there's some album producer or music assistant who'd happily do the grunt work for him, taking the time factor out of the equation. It still doesn't make sense to me that it hasn't been released and this makes it sound very much that it never will be.

    Yes it is! The middle one if I recall correctly.
    That's how most people do Unreleased musics, they take it out and publish it. Sadly some sound effects are in it as well which means unscoring is easy, but the music itself is not great to listen on its own.

    Hello!
     
    I am doing a The day of the Doctor rescore with Murray Gold's intended score.
     
    I managed to restore all of the tracks except this one : 
     
     
    Anyone has any idea where it's supposed to fit? I assume it's with the portals and fez scenes given the title but I can't make it fit anywhere. Maybe it's because of some cut scenes but the rest of the CD album dits perfectly without any edit necessary so I'm not sure.

    Yes, Capaldi had the moon thing. One of my least favorite episodes ever.
     
    But he had the Zygons! He had Robin Hood! He had the Husbands of River Song! He had Heaven Sent / Hell Bent. He had... Pretty much all of season 10! He had World Enough and Time and The Doctor Falls! (Which are also in season 10 but need to be mentioned again. I might even mention The Doctor Falls again and separately.) The Doctor Falls! (See? I knew it was a good idea.)
     
    And he's really the only Doctor who kind of got a curtain call. (Twice Upon a Time.)

    My brother paid more attention to this than I did, but when it rolled out the promise was "This is Disney, it will always be kid friendly, we have other places for R rated content."
     
     
    The Capaldi era is my favorite.

    Did a rewatch of The Power Of The Doctor (Whittaker's tenure was a mixed bag, but she got an undoubtedly spectacular send-off) followed by the minisode, which was a hoot (the idea that the Doctor inadvertently named the Daleks and was responsible for them having the 'plunger' arm tickled me). 

    Agree with what RTD's saying about why Davros is depicted that way in the minisode being absolute bollocks. Don't recall anybody complaining about No Time To Die's villain having facial scarring, and that film's only 2 years old.

    I'm firmly in the camp that doesn't see the problem RTD is trying to 'fix'.
     
    He says he doesn't want a disability/disfigurement to be emblematic of being a villain... what about the every single other villain that's fully abled. By his logic, they could never have a villain with any sort of disability, distinguishing features, etc, because it now victimises whatever the 'distinguishing' thing is. What utter rubbish. Hook's a villain and he's only got one hand... so do we ban Peter Pan now because we can't be seen to be declaring amputees as evil?
     
    Problem he's caused now is that viewers of my generation, who only ever saw Davros in one or two episodes of series 4, as disfigured and wheelchair bound, see this character doing something with a Dalek... and have no clue who he's meant to be because they've changed the nature of the character.

    Have to admit that this did seem a bit pointless (and I am very much a member of the tofu eating wokeratie…) as it could simply have been left for everyone to assume that he turned himself into a half dalek at some later date. Maybe he was crippled by his own invention so turns himself into one of them. Or something. It’s a bit of retconning but nothing worse than the usual for DW. Then it kinda “fixes” the “evil disabled person” issue and still works within what has been established beforehand. What’s perhaps more annoying is that it’s distracted from a fun 5 minute jokey DW snippet for a good cause (although don’t get me started on the rich people asking everyone else for money marathon that is Children in Need) that is otherwise rather jolly. God I didn’t realise how much I missed David Tenant.

    Agreed.
    Davros in a wheelchair (or whatever) was good enough in 1975, 1979, 1984, 1985, 1988, 2008, and 2015. Why change now?

    I've been told woke has no meaning. Probably here.
     
     
    I suppose it's the insistence that this is some message that "People in wheelchairs aren't evil." Noted? Who, in this target audience, was even thinking about Davros before this special? "Hey look! He's walking around and can see! And he's STILL a right bastard!" Um. Message? You don't have to be disabled and disfigured to be evil?
     
    I'm sure that people of color, the deaf community, and anyone else who isn't Julian Bleach should be reassured. (I'm MUCH taller than Julian Bleach! I feel seen!)
     
    "It's 2023!" And before that we were all knuckle dragging morons? Imagine what we'll think of 2025.
     
    I'm also glad to see that the Kaleds were a diverse group of people. Interesting choice for a Nazi analogue. Are we going to start making WWII movies with a more color blind perspective?
     
    I grew up with Tom Baker / Peter Davison / Colin Baker / (sorta) Sylvester McCoy. i.e. the era where one simply didn't do Dalek episodes without Davros. So I've been just fine with leaving him to the side. So if it's such a terrible message, why include him here?
     
    But clearly none of this came across. Because all we got out of it was "Oh. This is BEFORE whatever happened to him happens to him. That's kind of fun. And we get to see the actor out of the makeup. Always neat." And RTD knows we wouldn't get it because he felt the need to explain it.

    Ok so, am I the only one extremely disappointed in the Sith Anakin Vs Ahsoka duel music? Like the first duel with Jedi Anakin sounded fine, but the second one just sucked. Usually Kiner & Co. do some wicked cool things with their big (dare I say, emotional?) duel sequences as far as I can tell. So I’m bummed out there was the shift from big and bombastic music in past duels, to bland and, almost, generic music here.

    The crawl… goodness. Just a block of text sliding up the screen. At least make it fade into the distance. And what was that opening bridge scene, Star Trek?? There was something else off with the first episode… oh yeah. Let’s spend three minutes watching a video game style solve a puzzle to reveal the treasure. Added nothing to the character or plot. 
     
    Still, I have hope.

    I don't know if it's because I'm watching late at night or if the show is spreading it's story too thin, as a few arcs in Clone Wars also felt a little padded to hit 4-episodes.
    This episode was just a chase with a few moments that could fit in another episode, I was expecting to be on my way to Peridia by the end of this episode (please don't make Thrawn a second to last episode reveal at the end, PLEASE!)
     
    Ahsoka is feeling more like herself so that was nice, seeing purggils was great and I wouldn't be suprised if that cue was written by Russell. Seeing the New Republic suck is entertaining, Mom Mothma taking the role of Palpatine and just... not doing much is classic Mothma, was not expecting a "Resistance" cameo. Jacen has green hair, so the Lego set is outdated. Monday I watched the 4K77 restoration of Star Wars (with the original dub, in outstanding mono!) and then the training this episode calls back to the movie, though I think that a Kanan mention is long overdue.

    Yes! I've only been examining the individual meaning of these themes for a few weeks now (don't know why that never occurred to me earlier). I'm guessing you didn't like that Nazgul music, but was that because you knew it didn't belong there or because you genuinely think that cue doesn't work in the scene, regardless of thematic issues?
