Writing is So Not My Day Job

There is a new sonic, but I did wonder what was going to happen to the old one. Looks like it'll go out Fivey-style. :(

I kind of like how it's an ongoing joke in some of the audios with Five about how he doesn't have a sonic screwdriver.

From:

Eh, the Sonic seems to pop in and out depending on writer and director...

I'm not surprised they'd revamp that tho.

From:

HOPE MATT IS OKAY! That's harsh!

From:

That's the main thing, yeah. From reports, they're continuing on, so hopefully he's ok.

From:

Poor guy, Moff best not ruin him during his hostile takeover.

*cough*

From:

I know, but do they have to blow up the old one onscreen? Couldn't Eleven just decide he needed to upgrade or something? Why stomp all over Ten's sonic?

From:

True. It's a bit much. Unless they're doing a whole
"OH! LOOK I MADE A NEW ONE!"
"When?"
"Uh... while you were snoozing away..." scene. I could let it slide for that.

"Why not just fix the old one."
"I wanted a bit more spock?"
HAH, to impress the ladies. :P

*facepalm* oh Moffat.

I believe we'll be seeing a new sonic. Remember River's/The Doctor's sonic in SiL/FotD? (yeah, I'd rather not remember her either but she did have one)

I'm starting to wonder when we'll be getting the news that SM will be returning the format of the show to serials composed of 25-minute episodes. *eyeroll*

From:

Hrm... good thought. Hadn't thought about that, and I honestly wouldn't be surprised!

I think someone needs to tell SM that RTD doesn't work there anymore. There's no need to try to get into a pissing contest with him. ;)

From:

Again, we knew the sonic was going to have to be replaced at some point, in order for River Song waving the giant mutant permanent marker version of the sonic with red settings around in Ten's face. But blowing the old one to bits? Gimme a break.

Do the new PTB not realize how obvious they're being with their petty, spiteful conduct?

I'm hoping MS's abused hand is a 'fightin' hand', myself. *hopes he's ok*

From:

I'm a little surprised their effects department were allowed to kablooie something in Matt Smith's hand, to be honest. Is it not still Danny Hargreaves running that show?

From:

I has pics. Will post them in a minute, and yes - Danny Hargreaves is still the explosives king.

From:

Extra warning - the pics of sonic destruction do give a strong implication (as did the pics I posted before) of how Ten will meet his end. Might not want to look if you're very actively avoiding spoilers for the remaining specials. They'll be in a separate post.

From:

Thanks for the warning - saw it on your post as well. I shan't look, but I do desperately hope Matt Smith will be okay!

I mean, we know DT got bumps and bruises and even punched a hole in his hand (courtesy of the desk bell in TIL coming apart while he was ringing it), but there's a difference between that and bad decisions from the production team leading to someone really getting hurt.

From:

I can give you a visual, at least - MS is in a Statue of Liberty-ish pose, holding the sonic skyward, then sparks start shooting out. It's impressive even without CGI, IMHO. By report, Smith appears to be ok. *breathes sigh of relief*

From:

Sounds like a sparkler jammed in the end of the prop or something. Those things get damn hot, make no mistake. I'm impressed he didn't drop it, so long as he's ok.

Moffat is bent on the destruction of all that came before. LEAVE ME SOMETHING TO CLING TO! I'm begging you!

Goodbye beloved Sonic Screwdriver. Hello Gigantic Sonic (that thing looked huge in the pics)
