So who's looking forward to the new series tonight?
Can't wait. This series looks great, and best of all theres no Billie Piper this time ;D.
cant wait! 8D been counting down the hours XD
Todays episode then. Pretty good introduction to the series. Once again, good acting on David Tannet's part. His new assistant was pretty good too. The Rhino aliens were okay, but not great. My only real complain about them is when they drew Xs on the humans! Couldnt they ve of thought of something more...alien? They were just pens in disguse!!! XD
The old lady was spooky, in a good way! The straw was hilerious! XD
Like I said, a pretty good introduction to the series! Looking forward to more! ^^
Yeah the episode was great but the motorbike clone things were to human like.
it was good! XD i quite like martha....
i liked the jadoon... they were quite sweet.. in there rhinoness.... O_o
and drinking blood with a straw = win. XD
Do I have to admit watching - and enjoying - this?
Loved the fact they've replaced Billie Piper with someone who can act.
those things were HAWT <3
with the helmets on anyway :P
leather skirts FTW!!! <333
and i want those boots D=
i'd quite happily walk down the street dressed like that XD it'd be awesome..
they are almost as cool as the ood thingehs o.o
=D
oh, and the new girl is better than Billie..
and the moon is cool..
ZOMG BOOTS =D
oh, in all that excitement i forgot..
that old woman was awesome too.. straws have never been so cool =D
I've been counting down the hours all day. I'm finally gad the third series is here. It was a great introductory episode.
The old lady was creepy, but I would have to say that the sucking of the blood through a straw was genius. he appeared to change outfits though at the end and I was hoping he'd keep his new one, especially as it seems he's wearing his old one in the next episode.
I thought it was quite clever how he demonstrates how he went back in time to Martha, when we first see him at the start. I wonder what will convince the Doctor for Martha to stay though.
Yeah, it was pretty cool. Everything has been mentioned already, except for one thing I noticed. If the Slabs were made of leather, where did the aliens get the leather from? Was it traditional Cow leather, or made of something else?
dude.. if they can get a hospitle to the moon by makeing it rain.. i'm sure they can aquire leather o.o
Okay episode, I thought the helmets worn by the Jadoon looked vaguely like Sontarans in the trailer so that was disappointing, but other than that, pretty good.
I wish they'd remove all of the random kissing and Doctor love Rose stuff, the show should be more sci-fi than drama/RTD's warped mind, but I don't see that happening with all the mainstream audience appeal.
they are trying to appeal to everyone o.o
there wasn't that much kissing and Rose love..
mostly cool Judoons =D
What was the deal with the Jadoon anyway? Were they meant to look like rhinos and does that indicate the running out of ideas?

Yes, you must! *laughs evilly*
Aghh, I missed it. ¬¬
I remembered that it was on at 7:30, so I managed to watch the last fifteen minutes, but I still missed the first half an hour.
Oh well. I'm sure there will be a repeat of it sometime. I'm gonna miss next week's too, because I'm going to be on holiday. ;_;
If you have BBC3, I believe thats a repeat tonight.
Space rhinos = win.
So I'm late commenting. Ah well. I was, though, rather disappointed that the straw did not even have a spike on the end of it =<
The random leathery biker things were amusing... I've never seen such a leather-filled episode o.o And back to praising the space rhinos... and Mr David's acting with random phrases... "barefoot on the moon! =D"
Yes... I'm slightly odd.
And that's why we love you =P

... it'd be a bit of a coincidence if they WEREN'T meant to look like rhinos O.o
I loved that episode... David Tennant's so awesome xD And the little lady with her straw... amusing. I found it quite odd that nobody seemed to die, but I laughed so hard when I saw the jadoon marker-penning everyone xD Don't see why the Doctor couldn't have just drawn a cross on his hand though. There must be SOME pens in the hospital.
Quote from: The Doctor on March 31, 2007, 18:03
It was good, those drones looked like the Stig from Top Gear lol.
Thats exactly what I thought xD
Well, I thought it was alot better than The Runaway Bride, that was bad, it'll take a while for me to get used to the new girl, I miss Billie
Me and a few of my friends celebrated the runup by watching the TV movie, Series 1 and 2, and both Christmas specials over the 24 hour period before the new episode, so we were pretty Doctor Who'ed out by the time the new episode came along.
It was fantastic, though! I really like the new assistant, she's got a head on her, and I loved the Judoon, especially when they gave her 'compensation'. Was all in all a great episode, with a good soundtrack, I like her theme. Anyone listened to the commentary yet?
I can't believe I missed the first episode! *smacks head* It's because I was watching the Metallica videos...
Just finished the second one... well, it was fun, definately x3
The Queen Elizabeth I and Harry Potter reference(s) made me laugh... all in all, a good episode... the witches amused me also for some reason.
I WANT WITCHES IN A BOTTLE CRYSTAL BALL ;__;
Just to keep... heh.
I've decided that I like Martha better than Rose... yey o.o
Is that her name? I've forgotten already <.<
Anyhoo... next week's also looks good... New New York... was there already a New New York episode? Also, I thought I saw Christopher Eccleson in the preview... maybe going mad x.x
"How can a face so young have eyes so old?"
"I do a lot of reading."
<3
Loved the episode, very funny.
New New York is a Futurama ripoff though.
I'm gutted.i can't belive I missed it.I hope I catch the repeat.
i loved it. alot better then the 1st episode. and rather amusing. XD though nothings really struck me as fanartable yet.. *ponders*
The second episode was good. It had a good story and Shakespear was funny. Queen Elizabeth I was funny and seemed a bit chubby, eh?
I do like Martha and I wonder what will convince the Doctor to let her stay. You could tell that he was still affected by the departure of Rose, but there's obviously something in Martha that convinces him to let her stay. So far, good series.

"EXPELLIARMUS"? =DDD
Or "HIT ME" o.o
I laughed so hard at the Harry Potter references... those Carrier Knights [?] did look very Dementorish though o.o... and the Queen at the end... and most of it o.o Twas a very good episode, who'd have thought that the Globe was planned by witches, eh? =P
Loving the setup for a Queen Elizabeth I episode in which she and the Doctor become sworn enemies xD
And I liked Rose =< Buut, Kay likes Martha too. And feels sorry for her when the Doctor goes on about her. Poor girl... her own silly fault for trying to get the Doctor to sleep with her, mind you O.o
I must have missed that part o0;
Or not paying attention.
Poor Doctor... he already got Queen Victoria hating him... but yay... interesting way to end the episode xD
This weeks Dr Who episode was great. First episode the straws, now the puppets. What's next?
They got the straw idea probably from fairly odd parents when an alien tries to suck out Timmy's brain with a 'bendy straw'
Anyway, I think I was tired today coz I slept through most of Doctor Who (Which I never do coz I'm a huge fan!). Ashamed, I am. Very.
Quote from: Slave To The Grave on April 07, 2007, 21:56

did you know the actress who plays Queen Victoria was in Doctor Who in the 60s? She played Samantha Briggs in 1967's 'The Faceless Ones' which was basically about an airport.
How very interesting, I don't suppose any of that footage actually still exists as proof, but still...
I thought it was quite good, I don't know how people in those days would just accept it all as 'special effects' though. I did enjoy it, but I think the ideas of this episode and the ideas of space rhino police and straw killings suck so badly. I love it, I just can't get over how much it sucks.
Quote from: Pinsir24 on April 07, 2007, 23:06

Actually, episodes 1&3 still exist, but only episode 3 has footage of her. So there's the proof.
Actually here it is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GL0kD2vcu9I
She's the one sitting next to Jamie with a scouse accent.
Utterly brilliant! I loved that episode, I thought the references would get tiring, but they didn't, was pretty good. The pace wasn't as bang on as it was last week, but on the whole, a great episode with splendid acting.
I like Martha... But it'll take a lot for her to be 'better than Rose', in my opinion. She's very different... but it's good different. Much more of the Sarah-Jane Smith about her. :D
i only watched it last night due to being busy at the time o.o
anyway.. it was better than i thought it would be, a lot better.
next episode looks good too.. although having Sugar in it will confuse me no end :P
but yay
So, this weeks then.
Loved it! Very original and a joy to watch! Didnt expect Giant Carbs to be the mence from below, so yay. Loved the lesbian grannies! XD
"You know full well we re not sisters, we re married!" XD
So yes, very good episode. ^^
And the icing on the cake? DARLEKS NEXT WEEK!

GIANT ENEMY CRABS!
You beat me to it! T-T;
Oh well, pretty great episode; the plot built up and ended well, even without a single nasty villain. :)
Not bad this week. Good to see the Face of Boe aswell.
I keep feeling as though i've heard of the Macra. I think they've been in the old series.
Due to some gits being spoil-happy, the official Doctor Who magazine had an advertisement page for new Doctor Who toys, which consequently shown a 'new villain' early.
[SPOILER]
Mutant Daleks, which are green.
[/SPOILER]
"You are not alone"
Jack is so another Timelord.
Yeah, I enjoyed this week's. Gogo crabs! That's the last time I travel on the A1 XD
Poor Face of Boe, though >; Loved the kittens and the grannies, mind. Looking forward to next week; Daleks DDD= <3
or half time lord o.o
hmm..
heheheh, spiffy episode.. although i was right about Sugar being a confusing distraction :P
very inventive.. liked it
the crabs were a bit random though.. i thought
Its a black shelled dalek so it could meen it's an important coz the non important are brown yellowgoldy colour. New York again?
I liked the crabs... its a shame the doctor couldnt be bothered to get rid of them... That would have taken a mega plan...
Quote from: =[Snap]= on April 14, 2007, 22:03

Nah, I reckon they'll bring The Master back. He was cool, and had a Tardis that didn't malfunction.
Pity The Doctor didn't realise he could beat the GIANT ENEMY CRABS by
Attacking The Weakpoint For Massive Damage
I agree that Doctor Who is becoming more interesting... The last episode with the never ending motorway was good. Mood patches, lol. One mood that would be good to have a patch for springs to mind.
They should just drop a bomb into that motorway and close it again, that would get rid of the crabs probably.
I reckon 'Mr Saxon' is very probably the Master. As played by the Life on Mars chappie.
But yeah - intense episode, loved it, especially Brannigan. Had a tear in my eye when they were all singing the hymn, and then everyone was singing Abide With Me over the Doctor's memories of Gallifrey. Was a nice moment.
I loved how each car was unique on the inside - I wish we had cars like that now!
I find it a little surprising that 5 billion years of technology gives cars nothing more than the ability to levitate and unnecessary LED lights on the inside, but they still looked pretty cool.
I liked seeing the Macra, it's a shame they didn't get in more on the story, but it was pretty nostalgic.

You are correct. They were an enemy in an old ep. This was brought up on Doctor Who Confidential.
I've never actually watched an old ep with The Master in it before, but I think (And I hope) He'll come back for this series, or Davros (Or whatever his name is) Don't mind which one
Davros was the creator of the Daleks but they killed him.
The Empty child was good in series 1.
Well, last time we saw Davros, he did escape death and could easily be brought back. Personally, I think the old Davros mask looked just as realistic as the space rhinos, so if they just brought him back with exactly the same appearance it wouldn't look fake or anything. There's no other reason why they couldn't bring him back in my opinion.
I've heard they're bringing back the Master. It may just be a rumour, but it was told from a good source.
Too bad I know everything that happens because of Wikipedia. =/ Oh, and try re-arranging 'MISTER SAXON'. Go on... I know what it is.
they may be bringing back the the master as the face of boe said to the doctor " you are not alone". then again, it could be anyone from Gallifrey.
Dalek sec! woooooooooooooooooooo!(next episode, double!!!!!!!!!!!)
I've also heard that captain Jack is coming back in the last episodes
Captain Jack's back in Episode 11, Utopia, yeah.
It's going to be amazing.
And MISTER SAXON = MASTER NO. SIX. And he would be the sixth actor to play The Master.
I want Susan to come back... ;;
My sister watches "Any dream will do?" so i can't see the Doctor Who Confidential :( . Also i don't think "you are not alone" means just one other time lord, there is ether lots of them or it's refering to something else.
I am just episode 3... yes, finally... I missed both Saturday's episode and the repeat due to "having things to do" [Dx] but I'm watching it now on the Interwebs... [shouldn't be illegal as this episode is not commercially avaliable- right?]
My favourite part is probably just looking at everyone's cars... heh... and the crabs =D Though everyone will have said this... wheeee! They were just brilliant. I liked the guy in the car at the bottom... who just looked baffled when they disappeared o0
Random... motorway philosophies... yay o.o
And am I the only one who caught the "Bliss" [from Red Dwarf] reference? Well... amused me.
"Don't you go dying on me, you big old face!"
I love the new series but is anyone else worried that the Daleks are getting overused?
Also, I can't wait for Captain Jack to come back. :)

Meh, can't be helped. The Darleks are just as popular as the Doctor himself (Maybe even more) and we re pretty much seen them with every series and Doctor in the past (Except that one in the "movie") so really, this isnt anything new.
For gods sake, the Darleks have their own calender! XD

Master No Six? The Sixth incarnation of the master? but when we first met him he was on his 13th life, and has regenerated three times since then. and then you have the person in the tv movie. so the master will not know the doctor, unless they attended the same school on gallifrey together, and timelords can tell who a timelord is, and if they regenarated since the last they met. this doesn't make sence at all.
I sopse Davros is the dalek sec in the new york escapade. i heard someone mension that it was new york again i the next dalek episode. lol. like saying "york again" for all the sence it makes.
And then the doctor cud go back and visit susan, maybe her 2nd form, and get her back in the series, lol, "grandfather".
By the way, in the first series, in Boom Town, if the TARDIS translates all languages, then why is the banner that promotes the project the slitheen woman was doing in welsh!!!!???!!!??? I'd have thought that the writers were sane.
Anyway, what about the doctor regenarating for the 13th time? that'll be cool. then it could go on for centuries.
well, bye!
Something's been bothering me about the Doctor's regenerations. Hes meant to be hundreds of years old isnt he? So, has he just been unlucky these past 40 years? XD
Oh yeah, the Radiotimes has some Half Human Half Darlek on the front cover, so yeah.
Today's the big day, Sec's in the City!
Ah nooo... I'm going to miss it! Going to my grandmother's to go to the theatre.
So I'll avoid this topic until tommorrow evening! Thank goodness for BBC 3!
there's a rumour going round that Adric is involved in the episode, but how can he have survived that crash in Earthshock, and how cud he have beeen retrieved if the doctor said he cudn't get him? I don't know, but do the Doctor Who makers tell the media/ every website before the programme is broadcast? so much for a surprise.
Yey! The Macra were back! Some of you prabably havent heard of them, but they were on the Patrick Troughton story "The Macra Terror" and unfortunately, none of the episodes exist. But, some amazing clips do! There's a clip of one trying to eat polly. Some very good action and suspsense!
here the clips are anyway:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TVk7OR4dXA
and here's some that some clever person colourised:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aPS0R7GAZA
Oh and about adric crashing into earth, they did a 1 minute continue thing of that recently out of plastacine animation. Basically, adric flew out of the spaceship. Here's the clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN_thxvdDyk
I was in stitches. Its hillarious!
Remember its on at 6:35 tonight, instead of 7:00.
hmm.. that episode was alright
human darlek, lol.. how spiffy.. although i think they were safer in their metal bodies o.o
I think it was good.The Human Dalek was good.But it's head was quite big with one eye.The human pigs were but should have formed an army and attacked the Daleks for calling them slaves.
"We are the last remaining Daleks in existance. We really are this time. Promise."
What have Daleks got to gain from leaving their nice armoured weapon-covered shells and fusing with humans? o.o They're much cuter as living robots.
Scary pigs. The idea of the pig guards not noticing when the Doctor slipped into line, and the ridiculous Lazlo sending his girlfriend back into a pig-infested maze of sewers on her own... silly.
And what WAS that green blob in the sewer? A failed experiment?
Eh, the episode was okay, just hope they do some serious making-up for it in the sequel.
I've just seen it.
Wow! I loved the Idea of The Daleks making themselves Human(Ish) Due to the fact they kept being bashed by the Daleks!
Um, a bit of a wierd episode there, but it was good. I did think it was a little strange that they would fuse with a human. I thought the Daleks always went on about being superior to humans, but now they fuse with them. Waht! Anyway, I thought that he green thing looked like a Jellyfish when I first saw it. We'll have to wait and see.
I can't wait to see what happens when The Doctor reveals himself to the Daleks. You'd have they would have detected him by now, but obviously not.

I reckon its maybe to breed. They might of "run out of female Darleks" and need to evolve to survive. I dunno.
Still, good ep. It felt like a classic Darleks take over the planet scheme episode. XD
What was that Daleks name? I think i've heard it sounded like the one from Doomsday
Probably was that one. The Doctor was right when he said "How do they stay alive when I lose everything?" The race has been killed.... 5 times over the 25-30 years of Doctor Who existence.
"The Daleks shall evolve, like the puny things that humans call Pokemon!"

When the Doctor said, "the Cult of Skaro" i though it meant that the Daleks had finall;y developed a culture. but it's actually a group.
Why does Skaro get destroyed during the Time War when the Doctor made Skaro's sun go supernova during Rememberance of the Daleks?
If the TimeLords did it, then what about the Thals?
Edit: I found this on wilkipedia, should stop romours that John Simm, from life on mars, is the sixth person to play The Master
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN_thxvdDyk
look carefully at the bit that says "portrayed by" and you'll know what i mean
^ Hey, how about a spoiler warning?
Loved the episode. But why do I get the feeling the Human Dalek won't do anything besides stand around and shout orders? =/
Darleks love killing things right? So, what if the human Darlek discovers he can no longer "EXTERMINATE!" and starts feeling human emosions? He d no longer be a true Darlek, so me thinks he ll kill himself because of what he has become, kinda what he deserves for turning humans into Pig Slaves.
But heck, its only a theory, but I clever one I thought up. XD
Managed to catch the repeat tonight.

The human dalek made me laugh too... I'm not sure how daleks "breed" anyway, though I'm not sure how being a human-dalek helps. I liked the fact that he was still wearing that guy's shoes. I don't know why that amused me.
Also, Martha is very good at being kidnapped, if anyone else noticed... is that the third episode out of three? Ah well.
Quite confusing episode, but the next one seems to promise lasers and explosions, so all is well =D

Yeah, but the Cult of Skarro have thoughts and feelings too, and they haven't killed themselves. They went mad, and Sec is the leader, and is so the maddest of the bunch.
I love the Cult of Skaro...
The moment when Sec said "Then why are there millions of humans and only four of us?", the two talking to him slowly turned to eachother. Comedy moment with Daleks - It's gotta be good.
That was, however, one of the high points of an otherwise rather dull and oddly paced episode. The Doctor would never have let Tallulah (three l's, one h) go off by herself. Also, why did Frank and Solomon just put their hands up to volunteer with the Doctor without asking any questions?
Sudden jumps of time and scene were a bit sketchy when up against long drawn out scenes in the sewers... Good content on the whole and some nice dialogue, but it just felt like a jigsaw made up of pieces that didn't quite fit.
Oh, but the "Oh... I should've guessed. He's into Musical Theatre. What a pity" bit was funny. And all the theatre bits were good fun, especially the song - Thank you, Murray Gold!
Top acting of course from Tennant and Agyeman, well supported by Hugh Quarshie and his 'accent'.
6/10.

XD I thought the exact same thing, I wish the Daleks would just go away, I'm bored of them.
The human Dalek sounded so silly with the new yorker accent.
A very basic evolution of a Dalek with Human DNA can be found in the episode Dalek with the Ninth Doctor and Rose. Though how Dalek Sec will react I'm very curious about.
As for why they'd do such a thing, they know the future. They know that humanity spreads and spreads for millenia. With that potential for a Dalek Human hybrid to spread throughout history instead would be too tempting.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think it's strange that the dalek human walks out wearing the same suit, in perfect condition?
Great episode though in my opinion. Scary piggys!

It's pretty much because of the Cult of Skaro's way of thinking - Recall that they're designed to think and feel emotions as the enemy does. In this case, they think like humans and strive for improvement like they do.

Right. He becomes a Human Dalek. With loads of Pig Slaves. So he simply fries all the Pig slaves and Gorges on ze Bacony goodness. It's all so clear to me now...

I don't know why so many people are complaining about the Daleks returning. I don't see anything wrong with recycling a good old trump card again, especially when you take into consideration that they're Doctor Who staples. They're hardly being 'overused'; that's just a complaint spawned from their surprise appearance in Doomsday. Consider that they haven't even appeared that often throughout the new Doctor Who. Be grateful they turned up early in the season, rather than the end again.
Anyway, predictions for next episode? I think Lazlo will die protecting Tulu...la (however it's spelt). All of the Cult of Skaro (besides Sec, of course) will escape, the pigs will die, the Human-Dalek will succumb to human emotion and will be killed by the Cult who cannot stand the new 'evolution'. The Hooverville peeps will all live happily ever after, the end.
I think theres still a problem even with the whole human-dalek thing:
there are only 4 daleks left, who can't make more... so how is only one human-dalek supposed to repopulate the world? It now only means that theres 3 daleks and 1 mutant!
How do daleks reproduce anyway?
I d imagine they ll either mate with human girls or the other 3 become female human DFarleks, and mate. o.o
Wait, didn't Daleks originally create new Daleks by using humans to form the squishy guys on the inside? I think that's what happened in Revelation of the Daleks. But then again, that was Davros' idea, and the factory probably got shut down after the Dalek Supreme Council arrested him at the end of that episode.
Well, that was amusing.
I don't like two-parters in general because I usually miss one half of them... so a first for me here.
Still... the bit in the sewers with the two daleks was great x3
"You have doubts."
-looks around-
Yus, that made me laugh.
Also with the pig-slaves in the lift waiting for it to reach the top. I'm odd.
I don't have much more to say about this episode... except that yay, more dalek episodes in the future =D
Well, I was going to say something else but forgot.
The human-dalek-people... "But... why? o.o"
Heh.
Next week looks good, with a random skeletonish thing.
Brillent episode this week! Can't tell you how much I was laughing when that guy gave that speech on them all getting along and getting extreminatied! XD XD XD You just KNEW it was coming! XD
Quite cool the Darlek once again disobaying their master AGAIN (It happen to Davros)), proving they do indeed have no emosion. Also pretty good when those "humans" disobayed them to (BUT WHY DIDNT MR DARLEK JUST KILL THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE BEFORE THEY KILLED 2 MORE DARLEK?!?). And once again, the Darleks are not quite gone.
Faluts. Wouldnt a lightning bolt actully kill the Doctor? It almost felt like they were planning a suprice regeneration there! XD
And I felt robbed when they saved that pig guy from dying. He said there was no way of saving them, BUT OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH NO. He saves him anyway. Those minor pig characters didnt matter! They didnt have loved ones and no one cared for them! Shame on them!
Next week looks pretty good. AND THAT was a better looking spider creature then that poor excuse of a Christmas "villian". XD
Who thinks that Dalek Khan(the run away at the end) is the dalek emperor. Since the doctor was 100% sure that they were Last Daleks. and before he teleported the back did look like the emperors back drop from series 1
Agreed, great episode!
Sewers dalek conversation part was the best :)
I don't understand why the daleks never kill the doctor when they have the chance: 'oh no, the doctor! Lets just panic and chat while he escapes!'
The one remaining Dalek should return in the last ever episode.
I thought it would have been a more provoking ending if that pig man (forgot his name) actually died. It would symbolise the cruelty of life. Russel T. Davis is a fantastic writer, no doubt about it.
Best bit:
Hooverville Guy: 'What do you have to say, then?'
Dalek: '.... ........Exterminate!'
Man, you got pwned!
The next episode looks like one of those which will delve into the Doctors and Marthas backgrounds, more. Something with a giant scorpion seems more with the times that Doctor Who itself was before Russel T. Davis started writing the scripts.

The Doctor also thought he was the last of his kind, but thats proberly not the case if the series finale is to go by...
Theres rumours of it being 'The Master' from the very earliest seires. It may be one of the Doctors own kind, but he wouldn't be alone, would he?
Some say The Face Of Bo was talking about Martha or perhaps a return of Rose, I guess we'll have to wait.
The Master rumors are pretty strong and they continue to get stronger every week. I reckon they re true enough.
My GOD that last episode was absolutely hillarious xDDDDDD I mean, sorry, but...
DALEK HUMANS TAKING OVER MANHATTAN WITH EGG WHISKS 8D
And they walked like Cybermen o.o
I didn't want Sec to die. I liked him. I wanted his plan to start a new DalekHumanHybrid race on another planet to work. He was the thinking man's Dalek.
Oh, and Daleks having a proper conversation= pure class.
It was a good episode and next weeks one looks good too. I've recorded all the episodes so far of this series, so theres no need to buy the box set. I laughed when after Soloman made that long speech, the Dalek just kills him. Totally pwned.
Seems they'll be back though, wonder what the plan will be though...
I think they probably didn't kill the pig-man-man as he was a sort of hero...
...it is aimed at families, and younger children, and you all know that means that the good guys have to survive!
The doctors way to careless with the screwdriver this series...
Anyone else notice that normal guns can be converted to dalek guns by simply sticking a whisk on the end?
LAWL
Another hillarious moment was when they got to the ladde. You could almost see their little Dalek minds working...
'Oh, damn. A ladder and a small hole. Well, that's us screwed ._.'
xDDDDDDDDDDDD
I don't think that was the image they wanted....
'And at the end of the 500 year war, they eventually succommed to a flight of stairs, to which one timelord remained at the top and threw underwear at them...'
"Gammon radiation? What the heck is that?"
Did anyone else notice that? o.o
Good episode, and did anyone notice that when Sec gets exterminated he has a unique skeleton? Someone should post a picture...
I wonder why Kahn survived? Why specifically him... er, it?
And just what the hell is an Art Deco Dalek? o.o;;

Russel T. Davis is a fantastic writer, no doubt about it.
I fail to agree. He's obsessed with everything taking place on Earth, which is just plain annoying. Steve Moffat (writer of
The Empty Child, The Doctor Dances, and
The Girl in the Fireplace), as I've said before, should take over as head writer.
Oh, and I thought
Evolution of the Daleks was alright, but it seemed rushed at the end. Sloppy plot at best. I was disappointed in Sec dying, but it was great to see him sacrifice himself to save the Doctor, and I really think Solomon should've survived and Lazlo should've died instead. Plus, it would've been nice if they told us how in the hell the Doctor healed him.
I agree FaF.
And should Tallulah not have been more upset that her boyfriend was half pig? I know I would have been "Oh my god! What happened to your face?!?! You have horny things in your mouth!!"
Yeah lastnights ep was cool.
"Let's see... What am I gonna need? A HUGE genetics laboratory......... Oh look! I've got one!"
LOL XD!
Sec was cool..
he was cool when he was the bad guy, and cool when he was the good guy..
cool as a dalek and cool as a hybrid..
he shouldn't have died.. he was squidish
These episodes get more and more silly o.o
How did the Doctor getting zapped by lightning transfer his DNA, too?
And wouldn't that also add pigperson DNA?
Why didn't that amount of electricity fry everyone, not just the ones touching metal?
Why didn't the lightning kill the Doctor, anyway?
Why did Tallulah with three l's and an h go from "It'll never work" to "LASZLO <33333"?
How did they cure Laszlo?
Why did the Daleks keep Sec on a leash? o_o;
But, it did have its funny moments xD I loved seeing the pigpeople in the lift, one of them was tapping his watch xD The "gammon radiation" made me giggle, as did the Daleks at the bottom of the ladder...
"You... have doubts?"
<.< >.> <.< >.>
"Yes."
And they were so adorable when the Doctor was talking to them and they were twitching their scopey-eye-sticks quizically <333 The bit where Solomon gave that lovely speech, then asked "So, what do you say?" and the Dalek went "... EXTERMINATE" was horrible, but I couldn't help laughing xD For some reason I found it highly amusing that to Doctor went to confront his worst enemy by walking over seat backs... And I did love the bit where the Human Dalek just kept saying "... but, why?"
Best bit of the whole episode though?
Everybody got an egg whisk x]

Well, the pigpeople just seem to do what they're told anyway, so... meh.
It was a rather odd episode o0
Gawsh, rather sane answer there.
an alirght episode..
i liked the idea of the huge scary monster.. being a defencless and confused old man..
but i think they hammered that in a bit too much, i don't think it needed saying...
wasn't much of a build up either... and i think it could have done with something completely not human, because of all those pig people and Sec..
and the way he kills was too similar to the old woman with the straw..
seemed like a very.. unorigonal episode.. but still, not bad.
next one looks good, and hopefully worth the wait... yay Jack
Okay episode this week. There were some good moments, but it seemed a bit Mehish mostly. Also, they didnt quite expain how that creature got through doorways now did they? Bit lazy me thinks. Oh well, that League of Gents guy was pretty good. Not the best celebrity villian ever, but certainly better the Peter Key XD Also disappointed with the lack of balloons. I mean they were at a party, sort of. XD
By the way, WAS THAT POSSIBLEY THE MASTER WE SAW?!?!?
The next episode looks pretty good. GOD DAMN THAT EUROVISION SONG CONTEST! >< Make sure you don't watch it so this doesnt happen again next year and they scrap Eurovision. ;D
Wasn't the best episode, and they could've used with better graphics for the mostler in my opinion. The shells of people looked cool though!
[Jaaaaaaccccccck!!!! <3333333]
Either that, or that last Darlek made a bloody good disguise... XD
That must have been sick to kiss an old lady...
I thought the CGI for the scorpion thingy was appaluingly bad, it was like watching a 2 dimentional image....
When they were escaping to get out of the building, why didn't they just smash the glass instead of waiting for Martha to use the sonic screwdriver? It makes you think...
It would have been funny if the Doctor actually played us a decent tune instead of a soundtrack to the scene. Something like that one on the Simpsons, you know, 'In Garden of Eden' or whatever its called...
Does Jack come back next,or after the next episode?
I quite liked it, the creature looked nice and scary.
Jacks back in episode 11. This one was episode 6. Still a little bit longer 'till he makes his comeback.
This episode, not too bad. Not as good as some we've had this series. Scorpion thing was just plain wierd.
Oh well, two weeks and its 42.
And if this Mister Harold Saxon isn't The Master than I don't know who he is. It'll be a big shock if he isn't.
The creature was rather good, but with that guy's face stuck on the front...? It made me laugh... this episode was mildly hilarious, actually~
At least Martha didn't get kidnapped... so well done her. Next episode looks brilliant- phhh for Eurovision =/
... Uh... I don't have much to say on this, really.
The bit with the organ made me laugh... and so did the youngish guy with the make-up to make him look old... which did not look fake at all... really =]
Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Saxon#Mr._Saxon) is a wonderful thing. WARNING Possible Spoilers
1st thing i saw him he asked about the doctor for the first time and i knew that he would be another timelord or the master. human race to creature that is the meaning of being human. this episode wasn't that great next episode anyone think it's a bit um um whatever putting a scarecrow in the episode and woohoo jacks in that episode.
Who thinks series 4 is still going to have martha?
The end preview wasn't of the next episode: It was of the rest of the series to come.
And, excellent episode, really enjoyed it. Doctor in black tie!
Lots of good corridor running, and I liked the Joneses.
Good church scenes as well, nice direction.

That was an ok episode. I thought the monster looked good.
Was that 'mysterious man' (as it said in the credits) the Master? I think it was, because he said something to Martha's mum about the Doctor being dangerous and he seems to know The Doctor.
No, it was probably a henchman of the Master, since the Master has a different form right now, played by that Life on Mars guy. Of course, it could be a disguise. He is known to hide his identity a lot, after all.

Me and I can't wait 2 weeks for the next Doctor Who it is too long.Can't wait for Captain Jack harkness and does anyone know if Torchwood is going to make a new seiries.
A new series of Torchwood has apparently started filming at the end of last month. It is scedualed to air sometime in 2008.
Cool but it is a bit long to wait.
I find Torchwood a bit stupid. They try and make it all 'adult' by putting in the odd swear word.
I used to like David Tennant (spelling) but I find him a bit annoying now.
I find it funny how the old episodes are so bad, but my parents always tell me about how scary they were.
lol
Well, Saturday grows nearer, and after a painful 2 week absence, The Who is back!

Good to see the nod to
Hitchiker's in the title, though.
What does mean "Run in real time"? o.o
I think it means like 24. This episode is about 42 mins long.

Not just the title. I think something like this happened in Retraunt at the end of the Universe. Just without the sun being alive and stuff.
Last night was 'Friday Night with Jonathan Ross' and they had John Barrowman along with Andrew Loydd Webber and some other people. It was halarious, but anyway at the end they showed a clip from the episdoe 'Utopia' where Captain Jack first appears. I found the Clip on youtube too, so what do you think...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ebAAgT5_Ik

Is it 7.15pm yet?
Quote from: weird one on May 19, 2007, 12:45

Twenty five minutes left!
I'm really looking forward to this... and that Captain Jack preview... I'm actually astoundingly excited about it.
Bye off to switch on tv.
LASER EYE BEAMS! <33333
I'm so happy about that. The rest of the episode passed in a less-significant blur.
I actuallly quite liked it. A lots of screaming and emotional things... I... really don't have much to say right now Dx Ah damn.
I did laugh quite a lot, at the wrong times I expect, but ah well. It amused me.
Now for someone else to give a more useful & accurate review of this episode:
Hmm... I was a little underwhelmed by that episode... but I liked the dark bit at the end though with those agents censoring her mobile!
Pub questions? Whatever next...
I thought that episode was a gap filler... the whole adventure bit at the beginning and the middle didn't hoglight anything on anyone's backgroud... It was at the end when developments to the greater plot really came into effect... So now I can't wait 'till the next episode ^^
Pretty good episode. Like the monster/laser eye possesed people/living sun baddie. So yup, no complains from me.
Say, theory time! I wonder, could Mr Saxon be running in the mentioned "Election" and become Prime Mister? Imagine that, a whole country/planet against the Doctor... o.o
Next week looks really good. Can't wait. ^^
mmm, it was alright.. a bit fast and a bit too much going on, but i guess that was kinnda the point :P
like the idea of a living sun.
next weeks looks really spiffy.. scarecrows ftw =)
Quote from: The Doctor on May 19, 2007, 20:17
I can't wait to see The Doctors reaction to the Master.
Thats if it is The Master.
Not too bad this week. I'm guessing that "Burn with me" and things like that will be a bit like the "I'm sorry, i'm so sorry" line. I mean, that plasmavor said something like it in Smith and Jones. And i've heard something like it in the first series aswell, I think.
Next week. Looks good. I'm already having ideas about what the plot will be.
So we've got next week, and two more episodes after that, until the return of Jack. Can't wait.
Or if you really want Jack you could buy Torchwood.
Myself is waiting for the Return of the Cybermen.

Rearrange the words "Mister Saxon" and you ve got your answer. :P
Yes, but what about Mister Harold Saxon? :P
I'm not saying that hes not the Master, it quite probably is. Its just some of that latest "Theories" are getting a little bit strange.
One of the latest ones is that the Master has been hiding inside the TARDIS since he died in the TV movie, and he "posseses" Mister Saxon.
Oh well. Just a few more weeks and we'll find out for sure.
What. An. Episode.
I loved it O.o Amazing acting on Mister Tennant's behalf... even more so than usual, I may add. I'd question how Martha's phone worked lightyears away from home, but I don't think I dare.
And I cried when Martha and the other guy drifted away in the escape pod... the Doctor staring after her and saying "I'll save you..." and Martha desperately banging on the glass... and the scene inside the pod was sad, too ;_;
Yess, I loved that episode <3

That episode? Yeah, I quite enjoyed it. I don't think the 'real time' aspect added too much to it though.
Pretty damn good acting going on - David Tennant was at his best, even the shouty bits worked. When he was being possessed and saying "I'm scared", oooh, that was good. And the moment of solemnity inside the Tardis before he gave Martha the key. Tingle-worthy!
Another really strong moment that stands out was that extended silence as the pod floated away... so atmospheric yet stark and helpless.
Good stuff, a classic story with some brilliant moments - 7/10.
I couldn't help thinking that last saturday's episode went straight to the action too quickly, and that the episode as a whole was rubbish. I fell asleep half way through! Cring! :-[
I saw one and a half (had to go to sleep) episodes this Wednesday. The first episodes of Doctor Who i've ever seen. And i must admit, they've got a good story.

Watch the Christopher Eccleston episodes, they make a good start and, in my opinion, had a better flow than David Tennant's. Also, the Ecclestion episodes only last one season, so it doesn't take long to watch through them.
I didn't like last week's one. This week's one looks far more promising. What, with all of the Scarecrows outsode... (Farmer's worse nightmare.)
I read on the teletext that they could be getting rid of Martha at the end of this series, I hope they do, Martha has become a bit annoying
I have a very good feeling about this episode. Bring on Human Nature!
Just watched it. Not too bad this week. Loved the scarecrows. Next weeks looks like a good one aswell.
such a mind melting episode, heh
the scarecrows are pretty damn awesome though =D
The scarecrow were funny.
In all not bad episode really.
Bains, or whoever he was, was fantastic. The neck thing with the little girl, him and the random guy just made me laugh... too much xD
Intriguing though... I guessed it would be a two-parter... with any luck I won't miss the next part =/
And who makes such evil-looking scarecrows? xD

I think its farmers who have too much spare time...
That was a pretty good episode...why can't they just make the show longer rather than having two parters...?
Another great episode kind of hard to get around whats going on and the preview of the next episode doesn't say much but what we can see is martha dies ^-^
The things that i don't understand is that kid with the doctors watch. When martha runs past him what does it mean is he from the future aswell he was good at guessing. Also I don't understand episodes that have clips now and then of the past that confuses every1 but a good tension seeker
I thought it was a great episode. It's one of those episodes that you can't really find anywhere else. Fantastic plot. I liked how he keeps showing signals of him still having part of his 'timelord' mind. I liked how he made the book and as if it was all a dream. I wonder how he'll get his mind back though. Looking foreward to the next episode.
I did actually find those Scarecrows quite scary. There's only been 1 other monster in Doctor Who that I've found scary and that was the Children with the Gas Masks...
I was watching Confidential on BBC Three and they were saying that this had once been a Doctor Who book, and made it into an episode
Great episode, loved the Jack Straws.
The little girl skipping down the road is a reference to a Sylvester McCoy (the Seventh Doctor) episode called Remembrance of the Daleks. I noticed it right away, having seen that episode before.

I couldn't stop laughing at the Emperor Dalek in that episode. Not only did it look ridiculous, but it also had a hilarious voice. I think I posted a picture of it on one of the first pages of this topic.
Yeah, but it was a great episode, anyway. Ace was awesome.
Pretty good episode. Took a bit to get going but when it did, it was pretty good. Very good cliffhanger too. ;)

aah i see a bit lke torchwood but this one could actualy get mentioned
Oh yeah! I just remembered that Mr Saxon had a part in Torchwood - there were voting posters for him everywhere o.o
This was the best episode of this series so far, without a doubt. It was funny, moving, exciting, and incredibly Doctor Whoish, even though 'The Doctor' technically wasn't in it. It reminded me of some of the Paul McGann audios actually, in which identity and memory are often blurred.
Really good. Especially the bit when Martha's riding along and goes to the Tardis in that shed... lovely stuff. Brilliant music again from Mr Gold, especially that waltz in the dance hall.
9/10 from me.
Great episode this week. Loved the Scarecrows Army thing. Thought what he did to The Family was good aswell.
Next weeks dosn't look too good. Apparently its another "Doctor-Lite" episode like Love & Monsters, and we all know what that episode was like.
I loved it. Completely loved it. The battle scene, the Timothy bit, the little girl being all evil (Good actress, I thought), the bit in the war... everything. I can't fault it. Except... How did he 'smell' human when he was in the ship, having become The Doctor?
9.5/10. Oh, and Martha. Ruled. Brilliant. I almost love her more than Rose.
Quote from: The Librarian on June 02, 2007, 20:14
Apparently its another "Doctor-Lite" episode like Love & Monsters, and we all know what that episode was like.
A brilliant, innovative and moving piece of modern television?
I agree wit' The Librarian, although I found The Family a little annoying, but either way, great episode and shizz.

No, compleat and utter rubbish.
I loved it.
I really can't add more to it than that.
As usual, I laughed at the wrong bits, but it was excellent.
I felt really sorry for the John character... and was it just me or did Matron move her eyebrows all the time? I couldn't focus on anything else for some scenes 0o;
But... yes. Fantastic, best so far of this series IMO. Hmm~

He said something about "ventriloquism of the nose" I think, but my brain was still adjusting from his John-Smith-ness and it went completely over my head Dx
Awsome Episode! To be honest I can't fault it! Funniest part would have to be when Sister of mine would skip away. Always like Russel T Davies to add that sort of comedy into it. I think it was the best episode of the series. I did feel sorry for John Smith a bit, but funny to see David Tennant weeping.
Can't wait for the next one. It looks good...
Missed it yesterday, so saw it today.
Not bad, but this and the last episode didnt feel Dr Whoish like they should be. There were some nice parts and moments, but it just lacked the Dr Who feeling.
Now next week's ep looks pretty good. Like the whole "Dont blink!" concept. Should make to be a good episode. ^^
I not a fan of Doctor Who any more.
Aliens? You'll be lucky if you see three loads of aliens a series.
It's all robots etc. now and all the Aliens/Monsters/Robots/DARTHVADERRIF-OFFs are getiing repetitive too.

Yeah That's what I heard.
Do any of you Doctor Who fans have any Item to show that you are a fan of Doctor Who? I have a TARDIS Necklace - A real gold chain with a little blue metal TARDIS on it. Pretty cool huh?
Now out comes the geekiness... a couple of posters, Doctor and Cyberman 6 inch figures... the sticker album... a few of the cards... with the Tardis card holder...
Oh and a remote control Dalek.
I too have a Remote control Dalek. I also have a TARDIS that goes off just before my phone does.
I also have the Series 1 DVD Collection (Will be getting Series 2 soon)

Doctor Who just PWNS.

Dalek Sec! I find myself inexplicably envious.
Also, forgot to mention - I have about 8 of the Paul McGann 8th Doctor Audio plays as well. They're pretty damn good!
Dalek Sec was just weak in the first part of that two part special, but I found myself noting how well it was pulled off in the second part. Now he's one of the coolest daleks.
I like how the Doctor has become much darker; his punishments for the Family of Blood were just...cool. And I thought that they really did well in the second part of that one.
Also, where was the "fire and ice and rage," monologue used first? I can't remember, but I wondered if it was when Rose ate absorbed the Time Vortex, but can't damn remember...
Regardless, I was really worried that the kid, Timothy (woo, my name) was going to be the "other Timelord" that the face of Boe mentioned. I was getting pretty nervous, though I wonder who the other one is...?
And I look forward to Jack's return. It also sets up the best Torchwood Season Two, because they'll be going on various adventures looking for the Doctor, and he will technically be the enemy (seeing as they "kidnapped" their leader.)
It's all cool. Doctor Who is just...brilliant.

Those are just rumors at the moment. And even if it were axed, the fanboys will rally to have it put back on, so nothing to worry about, really.
Quote from: LAClennell on June 07, 2007, 19:32

I heard that too.
I also heard that Russel T Davis was quiting after the next season.
NOOOOOOO! I can't live without Doctor Who
I heard that their not keeping Martha on for the next series because they think she isn't lively enough and good enough for the part.
It's just rumours so I might be wronnd I disagree with this.
It's all unsubstantiated rumour. Most of which has been denied by the BBC.
Of course, most of us didnt know Billie Piper was leaving till near the end of Series 2 so anything could happen...
Quote from: Angelic Lapras King on June 08, 2007, 16:24

=D YAY!! I really hope this is true. I hate most of his episodes. After all, he was responisble for the god-awful "Love & Monsters" episode.
Steve Moffat for head writer, anyone? =]
Writer of "The Empty Child", "The Doctor Dances", "The Girl in the Fireplace", and "Blink". He's a genius.
EDIT
Not double posting. The member who posted before him had broke the 3 word rule.
ALK
But wasnt RTD the guy who wrote Gridlock? That was pretty good. o.o
And is it me, or is a 2 parter with the Doctor not himself then a episode where he isnt in the ep much a bit much?!?
RTD writes some good episodes, but he fills them with a lot of romantic garbage. "The Girl in the Fireplace" carried out the romantic theme perfectly, but RTD goes overboard.
Quote from: Angelic Lapras King on June 09, 2007, 16:24

Makes a nice change, in my opinion. It was great to see John Smith sink into a weak state as he tried to decide what to do.
The girl in the fireplace was fantastic, I loved Renne's (sp?)'s character. I can't compare between script writer's, as I haven't really been paying attention to that, I just judge some episodes as fantastic, whereas others "could have been better."
watching today's episode.....ooooo....those angel statue's look creepy.
Oh my gawsh xD
That was fantastic... I'm going to be all twitchy around statues from now on. I had to watch some of this with my glasses off so I couldn't see it properly.. and my mum watched it from the top of the stairs.
Yeah, our house is mad.
But that was really clever... time travelling-stuff usually makes my head hurt, and this was no exception... really good though. I love it how all the clues came together... and it all made sense [eventually]... aiiee =D
I've got to admit, that was alot better that I expected. Great episode. Especialy the "Timey Wimey Detector." :P
And Cpt. Jack next week. Can hardly wait.
It was actully pretty good dispite the lack of the Doctor! The Weeping Angels were brillient villians! Bound to scare little kiddies! XD
So next week then. Jack returns and such. Looks good.
Ohh That was great Next week'sone looks even better.
Definately the best episode so far. It was just so cleverly set up and the storyline and the whole idea of statues was simply sublime.
I thought it was fairly easy to understand, I mean after you watch reels upon reels of the Doctor himself...
I think I like this new side and genre to the series... the horror slash psychologically tame thriller slash pure enterainment gold! I think the writers have time sussed or they shipped in a quantum theorist to help write or something.
(10/10) And don't you forget it!
Good lord, that was good.
One of the best this series.
One of the best in the last three series.
Moffat's done it again!
Really good ideas, very clever, scary, exciting - and so many nods to fandom and geeks in general! Inspired.
9.5/10.
And...Captain Jack! <3
Quote from: Lord Barnabat on June 09, 2007, 20:02

You took the words right out of my mouth, good sir. =]
Loved the episode. Great plot, and the method it all worked in was flawless. I really hope Steven Moffat gets the head writer position sometime soon.
"It goes "ding!" when it finds stuff."
Utopia here we come too bad im out at 6:30 next week so i can't watch it at leat the week after would tell if mr saxon is the master
Goly! That was a good a good episode. Loved the plot and how it was solved. I love all of Steve Moffat's episodes. They always have the most mysterious plots that make the show so thrilling. Clever ideas too. The Tardis trick was great. Looks like another event the Doctor hasn't come to. Love how she gave the information, to give to him, so he could kinda translate it back... :P
I only really get a bit scared by a few Doctor Who episodes and that was one of them. The only others are the Scarecrows and the Empty Children...
Can't wait for the next episode. Looks really episode and of course Captain Jack's back. This has been a great overall series...
This episode = Great and scary.
A more complicated version of my thoughts is below.

I'm just searching for a unique style, Lord Barnabat.
But yeah, that story was very well written.
That was a great episode, with a really great concept (I love twisty back to front plots like this), and really great lines ("This is my timey-wimey detector, it goes bing when there's stuff").
Loved that one, Moffat is great.
Agreed, that really was a fabulous episode.
However, about Mr. Saxon being the Master: Mr. Saxon is being played by John Simms, the dude from Life on Mars. However, the dude that looked most likely to be the master (imo) from the trailer was the old dude holding the watch or something.
I really do hope that the "other" that the Face of Boe mentioned is the Time Lord. That, or he was just making a remark about Caan's existence...>.>
Quote from: Enigma on June 10, 2007, 22:09

SPOILER
He apparently regenerates into the Master at the end of the episode. That's according to The Sun, though.NO-MORE-SPOILAH
I loved teh episode! Sadly, I only got to see it today [Stupid drama all weekend!] Nonetheless, it was excellent! The angels are prefect, especially when the lights were flicking. And some of them had very scary faces, which made me go "AGH!" inside!
Please avoid small text like that... it just makes our job harder.
And, well there are plenty of rumours about the Professor being the Master. But also about Harold Saxon being King Harold from the Battle of Hastings back to reclaim England... and that he's an alternate Doctor... and that Captain Jack's the Master.. and that Martha is a female Doctor from the future...
So there are lots of rumours. We'll just have to wait and see!
Jackjackjackjackjackjackjackyay..
I found the Weeping Angels terrifying... I've been having nightmares xD
People at school are now going "Don't blink. Don't turn away, and DON'T BLINK" and "The angels have the phonebox!" a lot... including me.
I actually found several flaws in that episode, but it was really amazing. Kudos to Mister Moffat =]
The old style doctor who returned briefly last saturday with those angels.
Back in the days when doctor who made you scared.
Watching them on BBC1 or UK Gold. *sigh* those were the days.
Well... tonight's the night! Anyone excited?
Excessively. I am in desperate need to find out both the whole hype over Mr. Saxon and, more importantly, whether or not the Master will be featuring...

You're really not. Won't you enjoy it SO much more if it's a surprise?
True...though I hate not knowing things. It winds me up so much...
And if it isn't the Master, I'll...kill myself or something equally as drastic. :P
ARGH! I've just realised! I won't be able to watch it! I'm having a film night at my friend's tonight! ; . ;
Oh my... I feel for you, I really do.
What if it isn't the Master... but something just as cool? Like Rassilon... or a future Doctor... or Susan with a sex change?
I am. I can't wait to see the scene between the reunion of Jack and the Doctor. Cat fight, anyone?
I've lately been getting into it x). For the long weekend they had 'Dr. Who Weekend' and i pretty much sat there for three days watching doctor who hahaha xDD Soo lazy, ehh!!
i found it interesting. I thought it would be way more scientificly... i found it quite good, actually =D
It's over!
That was one good episode.
Is this the first three-parter?
That ep rocked, The Master's return was cool, can't wait for next week's
"End of the Universe, Bye Bye!" Best line ever. Yay for the Master!
Yeaaaaaaaaah!
Sorry.
Yeaaaaaah!
That was fairly amazing!
Like... amazing.
I'll talk about it properly later... still unable to express anything.
My mum said the Master made the Daleks.
chhanThat blue alien got annoying tho
I knew it... I knew that the Master would return to live again...
I loved the little BBC in joke they played with John Simm from Life on Mars...
Plus Captain Jack is back! Simply the greatest episode ever created! It was typical Doctor Who edge-of-your-seat drama.... once again, thanks BBC for filling my Saturday evenings with this work of genius!
This just in: Sam Tyler Has the Phonebox. He nabbed it from the Angels.
...wow. What an episode. The Utopia stuff was pretty good, but what about the stuff at the end? That big twist that Proffecor guy WAS the Master, only he was stuck in that watch, which meant that 2 parter actully had a purpose! lol. Also, the letters Y.A.N.A was a awesome twist! The guy who he regeneratied did a pretty good job too!
So, the big Series 3 finlie begins! ^^
I ve started getting the idea that maybe all the Time Lords are stuck in watches... lol. XD
I have to admit that wasn't bad...
Great episode. Looks like the first three-parter of the revived series.
And Derek Jacobi was great. Good to see Jack back to his old self, (flirting with everone), instead of the Torchwood Jack.
And a brilliant cliff hanger. Wonder how they will get out of this one.
Can't wait for next week's. Although there was no Doctor, Martha or Jack in the preview.

very rushed and leaving out some details. But still, seeing The Master return was great.
t'was pretty cool
everyone was far too human based.. but having Jack back is good.
and the Master is pretty cool..

Terry Nation, also the creator of the brilliant Blakes 7 (I have all four series on Dvd <3) created the Daleks, much against the creator of Doctor Who's ideas.
That was a fantastic episode. Amazingly exciting, which I think some of the other episodes haven't had as much. Great true excitement. I loved the story and it was great how the master ended up with his own watch.
Looks like they've changed the regeneration sequence. Nice though. It had some great comedy in it as well. I can't wait for the next episode. It looks so exciting. It must work out that by the time the Doctor arrives, that Mister Saxon must be in charge of England.

Judging the way the previous series finalies have gone, those ball things will proberly transform into Darleks... ::)
Yes, we havn't seen those Arty new Daleks yet...
I liked it. Just goes to show all time lords are a bit mad after they regenerate.
I thought the episode as a whole did quite well, as it was essentially simply a vehicle for the return of both Captain Jack AND The Master. I think perhaps an episode each, say, might have been better - get rid of something unnecessary and dull like 42 to make room.
But yes, it was incredibly enjoyable, Jack was on top form, Derek Jacobi was brilliant as both The Professor and The Master, and Simm's brief moment as the manic, New Who Master - Well, I'm certainly looking forward to next week!
The conversation between Jack and The Doctor when Jack was in that radiation chamber... Inspired writing by RTD.
If I say... 4.75/5... Leaving the Finale room to be even better!
Indeed, that episode was excellent. However, ChanTho really did get on my nerves...
And the Master had his own TARDIS in the old series; couldn't the Doctor and co. find that one and take it back to present day?
And yes, this Jack is much more fun than the Torchwood Jack; but then again, that's how it's meant to be: This is where Jack wants to be, hence his happiness. He was moody in Torchwood because that's why fangirls love him so he wasn't with the Doctor.

Actually no its not at one point Peter Davison have 3 companions abord: Tigan, Patrick(who perished aboard a ship he refused to leave even when it was plummiting towards a meteor and the other one i keep forgetting.)
This is one of the only episodes I like in this new series, par the first 2. I think this three parter is going to be my favourite of all =D
The master came back! *Jaw Drops* YEEEEEEY! It was inevitable for the master to return at some point, and its even better that the life on mars bloke is playing him.
But here's a tricky question for you big doctor who fans out there *Points at Phil*:
How come the master regenerated if he used up his 12 regenerations in the old series?
hmmmm...
Time travel my dear friend, time travel.
The master has gone through alot over the years... well not as bad as the doctor.
He disguised himself in a concrete body Tom Baker's Keeper of Trekken.
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/gallery/monsters2/images/340/traken1.jpg)
In the same episode he ditched his concrete form to reveal a scary freak of nature.
(http://www.whosdw.com/images/master2.jpg)
Then he took his hood off (in the same episode and his face sort of peeled off to reveal this.
(http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/b/bmaster1.jpg)
Then he took off but not before revealing his true form.
(http://www.kasterborus.com/tardis/baddies/master/master4.jpg)
We then saw him again in the movie made in 2000.
(http://doctor-blue-box.winnfreenet.com/seen.jpg)
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/gallery/tvmovie/images/340/dw4.jpg)[The Master is on the left]
Then we saw him on saturday as this old fella.
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/gallery/s3_11gallery/800/05.jpg)
And got killed by misses 'shin and do' and became a reborn master played by John Simm.
(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/graphics/2006/01/04/btvsimm1.jpg)
And the master hasn't reincarnated 12 times and i don't think it stops at 12 anyway.
Can't wait for part two.I wonder what happens to the rocket as their is a future kind on it.The master is cool and I wonder how the Face of BO knew about him.Look's like The Doctor has a rival and Martha seems jealous of Rose.
Nothing happens to the ship its just focusing on the master becoming PM and how the doctor is goin to stop him.
Oh and and there is a part 3.
Cool but i'm waiting to see how the Doctor is going to get his Tardis back when it is over the other side of the universe.
LOL. Dude its soooo obvious that The Doctor gets Jack's little time traveling watch working again.

LOL. Dude its soooo obvious that The Doctor gets Jack's little time traveling watch working again.
Also, if you were listening at the end, you hear Martha shouting "Wait! I recognise that voice!" so thats how they know what time line to 'hop' over to.
The Master always seems to find a way to cheat death, often by stealing other people's bodies, but he shouldn't be able to regenerate. My theory- This is an earlier incarnation of the Master, and the 1996 movie was his final demise.
I think it's more likely that either:
A) He stole another Timelord's body in the Time War,
Or
B) RTD quite rightly isn't getting bogged down in obscure continuity.
It's not people like us who bump up the ratings. It's the rest of the country, who watch Doctor Who, go "Oh, that was good", then get on with their lives.
Any way lots of codes in this YANA- You are not alone and FOB- Face of Boe watch
what a coincidence
well all i know is that martha knows the voice phones mum tells here to find the tardis she travels to the time they get on, when the place blows up martha says 'Doctor what do we do?'
Actually, a fob watch actually is a kind of watch o.o It's not just a Dr Who term.

Yeah, they'll probably use Jack's time thingamajig to get back. Either that or the Master purposely sends the TARDIS back to the Doctor. He was issuing a challenge, was he not?
Get over 'ere and take me down as Prime Minister if y'can! pretty much sums it up.
The thing is... If Professor Yana's identity was created... where is the TARDIS that created him? The master's TARDIS must be lurking around somewhere...

My vote is for the second. Limits of regenerations haven't been mentioned since the beginnining of the new serieses, so I expect that they want people to accept it and move on.
I want The Master's Tardis to turn up, it had a functioning Chameleon circuit! I always thought that was awesome, the fact that he had a better tardis than The Doctor.
Its almost definatly looking towards the time traveling watch.
Heres a question for you though. What part will the future people play on saturday?
I reckon that they'll play no part. This is only vaguely leading on from the last episode IMO. They'll find a way back to the present quicky at the beginning of the episode, and then it'll be like any other episode, just with more... Masteryness.

Still no word on when the US will get the airing of Season 3 of the new series of Doctor Who on Sci-Fi.
However, I'm finally getting my hands on the complete season 2 on DVD. /me dances all happily.
Are you all enjoying Season 3?
Check out the website. It's pretty cool and they got some videos.

Danke. I very much appreciate the link. So much has changed. On the Sci-Fi site for the US it still has the first guy who played the Doctor. Kinda wish they would broadcast it simultaneously... heh.. not like there aren't American fans too. But.. I'll be patient and wait until about September or so.. they might broadcast it then.
Could always import the DVDs. I belive we re on Vol 1 or 2 at the mo.
We have the DVDs now. I was talking about Season 3 on the air.
Well apparently, according to wikipedia anyway "The third season is scheduled to air on the Sci Fi Channel beginning on July 6, 2007."
So not too long for the people of USAland :P
Ooooooooo.
I don't know what to say to that other than. O M G YES! *bows* Danke berra muchly.

Yesterday on totally doctor who we see that weird lady about to shoot the jones family and martha jack and doctor are in a car getting there so the doctor gets to the past/present and arre gonna stop mister saxon/ master
Actually, I'd be happy enough if the series stopped there =D
The master is rather fantastic, methinks [poor Harriet Jones, though, whatever happened to her]. And I like the floating metal spheres of knives, lasers and death... they're rather odd.
I missed a huge chunk of it in the middle because my dad arrived [with curry O:] and started talking about how he'd watched it a few episodes back or.. something. So from the bit with the teletubbies [xD] to the part after the doctor had the flashback... it's rather scrambled Dx
There are other things that I can't quite remember.
The drumming is catchy though.
I think this episode began too suddenly: "Wheeey, we solved that cliffhanger in two seconds in a totally non-obvious way =D"
Guess it had to be moved along, though.
And the paradox machine stuff looks rather great... must be all the red.
Something.
And now for the slightly saner reviews.
sane you said?
oops =D
heheheh, that was pretty damn awesome!
why are insane people so.. i dunno.. theres just something about them which makes them so much better than everyone else!
yeh.. The Master is cool, so moo
although he looked more spiffy way back.. but oooh well =D
the drums = awesome
paradox machiene = interesting..
laser screwdriver = pwnage
slicey circles of speach = I WANT ONE! D= <333
awesome episode.. really was.. heheheh, loved the whole gas bit.. heheheh
the fimbles are better than the teletubbies though..
but thats not really relevant.. heh..
Jack needs to do more now please.. cos so far all hes really been good for is that machieney thingy..
well, and randomly having the Doctor's hand for extreame convinience for The Master..
silly bean
wooooo =D
Loved this episode. Some parts seemed a little rushed though.
I loved the bit about Gallifrey and the Time War. Those little robot things were a bit wierd though.
And I though the Master was more of a Clangers person than Tellitubbies :P
And a good cliffhanger aswell.
Next weeks looks interesting.
And for some reason I keep tapping those four beats ><.
Great episode, in my opinion... Liked the Gallifrey explanations, especially about the Vortex. Oh, and I noticed two old Doctor Who references:
- Martha jokes, saying something like "You might as well say you're half-brothers." An original script was to reveal the Master as the Doctor's brother in a very old episode.
- The Master offers his wife Jelly Babies in the same way Tom Baker used to offer them as a habit.

Me too. Good fun.
Very good episode. Cant wait for next week.
My friend told me the sky base was a tribute to Captain Scarlet, which is something I spotted during the ep. lol. XD
"He's got a bigger screwdriver than me!"
Mister Tennant xD <3
Yes... amazing episode. I loved all the old references, like the Master's love of children's TV shows... Clangers > Teletubbies though. John Simms makes an awesome Master, his little moments made me giggle. Like the bit in the board room where that choking guy was shouting "You're insane!" and he just grinned and stuck his thumbs up... aah xD
Many many hilarious moments in that ep indeed. Especially when the Doctor explained the Perception Changer as "Like when someone you fancy doesn't know you exist," and Martha was looking all crestfallen, then Jack goes "You too, huh?" Love it.
So, who's betting those spiky ball things are either a form of Dalek or contain TimeLord brains? And that Martha's gonna fetch the Torchwood team?
OK, todays episode=awesome.
If the Daleks appear in the next episode I will have lost faith in the writers of Doctor Who. We've had them in two finales so far, I don't want them in another.
That was SO Skybase. Captain Scarlet FTW
I want The Master to get his TARDIS back!
It was an an awsome episode as ever. I would have thought they showed more about how they got back, but oh well. It was good to finally seem some pictures of gallifrey, although I was hoping to see bits of the Doctor when he was young.
I had to Lol at the bit with the Teletubbies. Halarious. The attitude of the master, even though he was prime minister was worth an award. Great acting on John Simm's behalf. Left on a bit of a cliff hanger. I wonder where Martha's going.
The thing I don't get is that Lazarus's thing was used to make the Doctor age, but the Master said 100 years. why would he age so much, even though he's like 1000. But it's not as if he was growing human years, because he looks about 30 or so, pluss the 100 years makes him 130, which is way beyond the life span of a human...
I really liked that episode. The Master is truely evil, I mean he stole the Doctor's Jelly babies. How does he sleep at night. And what's with his wife, she's a bit... odd. Had to laugh when he said "Here come the drums!" and the music plays.
I reckon those things are humans from a parrelel Earth, since there are 6 Billion of them. That or timelords, since he said that it would break the Doctor's hearts.
What can I say? Excellent episode. I love the Master, he owns everyone!
I like the references near the end of the episode, like the Jellybabies thing when he offered his wife them (Tom Baker used to do it) and, I hate to admit this but, Valiant based on Captain scarlet....
Heh, I love every single character on this show! I wonder if DT is gonna complain now about kids on his lawn and how, when he was young, they never used to have water or banana's....
Well, yeah.
That was fairly excellent.
Simm as the Master was utterly amazing, just what the series needed. He was manic, but one found oneself almost rooting for him.
And Lucy Saxon is pretty good as well, her little dancing at the end was funny.
The telephone conversation between the Master and the Doctor was excellently written and played. And Martha's family were good.
The Doctor, Martha and Jack obviously didn't have that much to do... But they'll come into their own this series.
And... ~tear~ Gallifrey! We saw Gallifrey! And Time Lords... wearing proper Time Lord clothes! That was wonderful, almost had a tear in my eye.
All in all..what.. 4.95/5. Because next week's... next week's can still be better.
P.S. - Anyone's signal go funny? We had a storm, the digital started crashing, we had to go and watch it on the tiny terrestrial upstairs.
Yeah, my signal went funny, at the Gallifrey part, unluckily enough. I'll need to catch the repeat so I get a clear recording. I forgot to record Doctor Who Confidential yesterday, too, so I'll catch the repeat of that, too.
Incase anyone wants to see the preview to next week again, here it is (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkY9dV9v9EA)
Last night's ep was awesome, can't wait for the next one
The Master was great especially his humor, I've never seen someone so insane yet funny at the same time

That was yesterday.... yus... they were being very "VOTE SAXON"-y.

I'm almost insulted.

I just dislike people who make stereotypes out of people from other countries, as well as my own.
And back to the discussion~
I was amused by that o.o Mark the American. He'd have to drink Grinds instead of tea... whatever Grinds is.
Poor deprived soul Dx
Ooh, I think I missed the bit where we found out what the "Paradox Machine" was actually for... anybody pick that up?
I missed that as well. But... what a song to die to! That has got to be (for some reason) my favourite bit of the episode. dum-dum-dum-dum dum-dum-dum-dum dum-dum-dum-dum. All through french today, all you could hear was dum-dum-dum-dum dum-dum-dum-dum dum-dum-dum-dum being tapped on the desks!

Meh.. I wish we got the episodes here... I feel like I'm missing out. I'm going to watch Episode 1 of Season 2 tonight, tho. Finally got the first disc.
And grits is a hot cereal, quite popular in the southern part of the US. I've never had them, though.
As for people who like to stereotype Americans. You couldn't be further from the truth when you do. Not everyone is the same. Good thing I don't attach negatives to people because of where they are born. You can't really help your place of birth, any more than you can help the color of your skin. Stop being so judgmental. Open your mind and realize the endless possibilities instead of living in a fishbowl. Hating me because I'm an American is unfair and immature. Grow up.
Okay people, lets get away from this frenetic stereotyping and back to the matter at hand... Doctor Who!
John Simm is awesome as the Master. I love his insanity and franticness. I mean, he's so different from his role as Sam Tyler from Life on Mars!
He comes out with even better one liners than the Doctor!
"And the good thing is, he's not dead for long. I get to kill him again!"
Got to love the Voodoo Child part. It's so random and funny.
One thing though... Has he hypnotised his wife? she looks a bit... comatose.
What does comatose mean?
Quote from: LAClennell on June 26, 2007, 18:59

Comatose- In the context I'm using is describing how she looks very lulled... unreal...sort of as if someone was in a coma but awake and suffering from the drowsy effects of it.
So yeah, Mr. Saxon Rocks out loud.

And I was actually a little dissapointed with the Master episode.
Don't get me wrong, John Simm is a truly excellent Master; on par with David Tennant in regards to his acting abilities. However, there was a sense of unoriginality about the whole thing. Like they took a load of already existing ideas both from Dr. Who and from other places, and shoved them into an episode.
For example: The "heart of time" idea is pretty cool, sending the Master mad and all that, but the thing is that the heart of time itself just looked like a smaller Stargate thing.
The people surrounding the stargate rip off looked like those awful costumes you see in the first generation of star trek, and it looked more satirical rather than impressive.
The shot of Gallifray was...disheartening. I mean, I always had this idea that the Time Lords didn't actually have a physical being and that they merely took on the form of whatever random species their regeneration chose for them. Having seen this stereo-typical sci fi city-in-a-bubble, I was pretty pissed off. I mean, come on, you've just ruined a load of hardcore fan's idea of what the Time Lord Planet looked like. That's basic in film making. Don't show more than you can actually afford to show.
Oh, and the whole drum thing was pretty cool. I loved that, but there is a little bit of an echo with the Cybermen, no? What with the earpieces just being replaced by a drumminess. Still, it is catchy. :P
And, like the Doctor turning into a human arc, I hope the second episode redeems the first. The one liners, though, were still as excellent as ever.

But, we've already seen many timelords and lots of bits of Gallifrey in the Classic Series.

What makes you say that?
You know when Rose saved her Dad? that was a paradox. The Reapers appeared and started to eat everything in the whole universe! (I thought that's was going to happen when the paradox thing got turned on.) It was very interesting with the way people reacted with the those drones when they went into their homes... (dumb president! He should have let The Master talk to them.)
I am a big fan of doctor who it is getting very exciting at the moment i cant stop watching it lol i cant wait until the cartoon version comes out on bbc two that will be wicked to watch does any one know if this is the last episode of doctor who this Saturday or is it going to becoming back later on in the year? please let me know Doctor Who fans thanks xx
I just thought, you know how the toclafane were saying about the oncoming storm and the darkness, isn't the Doctor described as those things by the daleks?
Hes described as the Oncoming Storm in The Parting of Ways. But not the darkness. In some spin-offs however he is called the Ka Faraq, which apparently means Bringer of Darkness or Destroyer of Worlds, in Dalek language.

The cartoon version looks awful, and I doubt it will be taken as real canonicity within the programme, or at least, that's what I'm hoping...:P
As for the odd time lord's dress, I wasn't around when they were on television (or if I was, I was exceedingly young) and take back that part (same with the Gallifrey comment) but I'm still...annoyed with it. :P
Oh, and there's this whole thing at my school saying that the Toclaphane are the Daleks or something. I think not. Why would the Master be in an alliance with the Daleks? o.o
Anyway, roll on Saturday...

If you're referring to "Invasion" and the like, well, they
are canon. They're cartoons dubbed over by the original voices of the old episodes. The reason they're doing this is because, if I remember correctly, the video footage was ruined or broken, but the sound was still intact.
He may have been refering to The Infinite Quest. That cartoon thing that is being broadcast on Totaly Doctor Who. Its not been stated if it is part of the main Doctor Who continuity or not.
I doubt theToclaphane are types of Dalek. The master is a Time Lord, and as we know, they are sworn enemies. The master would want to form an allience with them.
As we know the whole Dalek race has been destroyed, but one. My guess is the Daleks from the time war were split...
One half trapped by the Time Lords in the Genesis Ark, and the other half hidden in space by the Emporer, finally destroyed by Rose. Then there was the Cult of Skaro who located the Ark, now gone but 1.

i read it somewhere (cant remember where) and more importantly it was on an episode of futurama (the episode could of been named something to do with paradoxs but not necessarily) and in the episodes i think the professor said that a paradox is an alternate universe as they kept going from one universe to another parrale one

Well, Futurama was incorrect. A paradox is simply a statement or situation which cannot possibly be the case because of two opposing states of affairs - for example the statement "I am lying" is a paradox. Nothing necessarily to do with alternate universes.
Wasn't there quite a lot of mention of the coming darkness in Torchwood?
Place your bets now! What do you think will happen to the Master? Will he:
A) Get defeated and get captured/destroyed by the Doctor
B) Get defeated and escape for a future episode.

My Dad was wathing it and he wanted to know what the word Toclaphane is when it's typed backwords like this ==>darwkacb
So here we go! (i didn't know what it was before this post.)
Enahpalcot.
^^^^^^
What? did it make sence? what's it mean????
That's ends for Pokeguru V2 Interesting/Useless Things to Know post!
The Face of Boe XD
Great episode. Can't wait for the Christmas Special already. I hope the TARDIS isn't too damaged.
I bet the Master wiil return again one day. They can't leave it like that.
And I bet Martha will return one day too. Maybe next series.
I think it was a great episode and that Martha saved the universe.All the people from the rocket were made into those ball things.
I can't wait till christmas as it is too long.
I can't believe Jack is teh face of Bo.The Doctor has seen him die and knows what he will look lke when he is older.
I heard somewhere that Martha won't be in the next series.They don't think she is good enough.
Well what can I say? That was proberly the best Series Finalie thus far.
The whole one year later thing was unexpected. Didnt think they d do that. Master was brillent as aways, Doctor looked weird in that bird cage and shame the Master died (Or did he?). Would of been nice if the actor who played him returned for a future episode.
The Cap Jack/Face of Boa was a good little twist. Didnt see that one coming. Martha's exit was expected since she was recently axed, but nice hint of a possible comeback.
Now the end, another good WTF moment. First, that lady taking that ring from the Master's dead body and then the Titanic crashing into the Tardis. It looks like an Xmas speical I m looking forawrd too. ^^
WOW! Jack is the Face of Boe? Smeg...
The Doctor crashing into the Titanic?
I have a theory that The Rani is the one who picks up the Masters ring... Although that was probably obvious to die-hard Doctor Who fans...
Anyway... Seriously good episode... Shame the Master had to die though, he was Mint! I would like Catherine Tate to be the new apprentice-on-the-go because I thought she performed massively in the last Christmas special...
Maybe the Master regeneratied into a woman? o.o
It would be noted that the Doctor has mentioned about being onboard an "unsinkable" ship and left clinging to an iceberg previously. The 7th Doctor was also on the ship in one of the books.
Voyage of the Damned is also a title for a movie too. ;D
It was alright.

Well, they can't help but kill off villains way too quickly, as usual. The Master, dead? Dammit.
I still want my Davros, though.
Well, I think I'm going to have withdrawl symptoms...
I'll be watching Torchwood though... Because the Doctor snatched Jack in the Finale of the lst series, so who knows...
"Sylvester McCoy is set to make a guest appearance as he was in The Left-Handed Hummingbird."
YES! Sylvester McCoy is freakin' awesome, in my opinion. With him being in 'Voyage of the Damned', I'm very happy.

some very lovely twists in the episode.. really nice.. good to see The Master danceing around aswell =D
and lol, bless Jack and his turning into a huge face :P at least we know he gets to die, eventually o.o

So, they're leaving it open to bring him back eventually.
I'll never stop complaining until they bring back Davros, though.

Well, good episode.
My mum guessed that the Toclafane were humans, so kudos to her!
The Master must come back, they aren't allowed to kill him off! Also, the ring had the same pattern as the watch.

Everything's a freakin' human thesedays. Humans are used to tie up plot points too much.
Can we just have the Thals back? Is that too much to ask?
I loved the episode! It was so...Wow! It was well planned out, but The Master can't be dead!!! And Martha can't be gone, I was starting to like her! The Doctor looked funny when he was small, wrinkles, with big eyes. Cute (like a baby) in a creepy way...

It reminded me of the way they brought Tinkerbell back, in Peter Pan. Not that I've seen it ¬¬

The hand that picked the ring up had red fingernails... methinks it was The Master's wife o.o
Amazing episode. The end was so full of twists, nicely done. Jack is the Face of Boe, eh? Wow xD And I loved the return of the "WHAT?" at the end of the series... Mister Davies does like ending serieses that way =P
Shame Martha's leaving, I really liked her, and comparing her at the start of the series to how much she's grown up at the end... Wow. Poor Martha D=
Was majorly creepy when that... human face inside the Toclafane was asked why it killed people and replied "It's so much fun!" and it turned out to be Creet... that adorable little child. Urrrgh Dx
But... it leaves me wondering about the stuff in Utopia. Didn't one of the Futurekind get on board? Whatever happened there... was it just a pointless occurrence? Or did he not actually get on board?
Meh, whatever. Shame Simm didn't last longer, by this time next year we'll have an entirely new cast of main characters, I believe.
S'been a good series =]
nice episode i quite liked the titanic crashing into the T.A.R.D.I.S as opposed to the iceburg shame about John simm i quite liked him same with freema but simm was awsome
the masters ultimate goal was staying alive for as long as possible (immortal if he could) right? so of course he wouldn't let him self die so that ring will very possibly contain part of him because he use to take peoples bodies so maby whoever puts on the ring gets possessed by the master and his wife will probaly be the one to do this
Jack the face of boe ;D that was hilarious but how does his head get so big and how does he die since he is a permanent point of the universe unless he doesn't die also on doctor who confidential they said they weren't quite finished with the face of bo but this was probably what they meant

She said "[after being taken to see the end of the universe] There didn't seem to be much point [in living] anymore". She was probably so shocked, she did whatever The Master said (Marrying him, letting him get a way with things) but secretly, she hated him, but was unable to rebel, until she saw hope (Provided by The Doctor's and Martha's plans).
Ah right now I get it, thanks ^^
A very good ending to the series I must say! I can't believe Jack is the face of Boe... What a twist. Fantastic acting on everyones behalf. But is Martha really leaving?? Surely not...She's been good! I hope she does return fror series 4.
The christmas special looks like it's gonna be another thriller. Great twist, but 'how?' is my question...
Does anybody think The Doctor was becoming a little Jesus-like, when he said 'I forgive you' to the Master?
Excellent, well thought out episode, if a little OTT. Doctor Who has become a great show. I wish it'd follow the old continuity more, and be a little less epic with everything, but I guess it's better for everyone in this format. I think it'd be better if they mentioned The Master in the eye of harmony, and stuck to the 13 life rule.
Would the Master willingly die if he could live another life? More importantly, is The Doctor in love with The Master?
the master is the wife. the doctor knows the master, and knows that he would never let himself die. the bit near the end with the hand picking up the ring, that was the master, but somehow in disguise.

Because, (and I hate to say this) they do nick a hell of a lot.
HEart of Time = Stargate
Mini 900 year old Doctor = Golem/Dobby
Burning the Jedi way = Star Wars
City in a bubble = Just about every crap scifi thing.
I think, as I predicted, it redeemed itself from last week. The Face of Boe (or perhaps it should be "beau" now?) was an excellent mini twist that carried loads of weight.
Personally, I'm glad Martha's gone. She was always second best to Rose, you cannot beat the Piper girl. *hugs*
QuoteDoes anybody think The Doctor was becoming a little Jesus-like, when he said 'I forgive you' to the Master?
Too damn true. Consider: Martha goes around the world, telling "the story" about some iconic figure, who has sacrificed himself for the good of everyone. Then, when they all put their faith into him, and believe in him, he is resurrected with arms open wide. THen he forgives the sinner.
ZOMG TEH DOCTOR IS JEEZUS!!!
Anyway, that bit was excessively cheesy.
I think John Simm was way too good a Master for them to just drop him. If they really did kill off the Master, then they may have safeguarded themselves
to protect them from status effects by not putting the whole hand picking up some random ring.
I did think it was sad when the Master refused to generate (and yeah, I reckon Pinsir is dead right that there is/was something going on with those two) - "But we've done so much together!!" 0.o
The Christmas special last year was abysmal, in my opinion. I cannot stand Catherine Tate, I think she embodies everything that I dislike in this country and so there is little faith in me that the next Christmas Special will be any different. However, the fact that the Titanic actually broke through the TARDIS is a little bit...worrying. I thought it was invincible. >>
Roll on Torchwood and Captain Jack! *waves a flag.*
Titanic Question!
in the first series the 9th doctor talks about the tianic saying he was one a ship that hit an ice berg and sank. also in rose you see 9th doctor saving a family from going on the tianic and now you DT on he tianic isn't this part of the whole can't be in 2 places at the same time thing in father's day.
and also how did it crash since the doctor just set the tardis in the time vortex.
No one metioned the:
"What? What?! What!" the same in doomsday and last of the time lords.
In series 1 and 2 the tardis is all blue and dark in the nside and in doomsday when donna enters the tardis is dark and blue but from runaway bride the tardis has been bright yellow

in rose the doctor says the tardis is indistructable but how come the titanic hit it and broke it?
that's what they said about no one can eneter the tardis with out the key or the door open. but donna got in.
another find how...... entered the tardis episode
Quick question, what is the name of that song that plays when the master pushes Grandad Doctor About? 'tis really catchy.
I think it is possible that the master could come back. Reason being: The amount of times the daleks and cybermen have all been 'wiped out' and have returned are now uncountable and in the old series, once the master died, that was it coz he'd used up all his regenerations, so he couldn't regenerate, even if he wanted too (similar to him dying last night). But still, he survived and found new bodies.

Re: the 13 life rule... they HAVE stuck to it, haven't they? o.o The Master chose not to regenerate even though he could've, and the Doctor is still only on his 10th life. Or had the Master supposedly used all of his up?

if you've seen the film, the master regenerated for the 11th time into human, then regenerated again into what he was last episode. this was his last regeneration, but the doctor didnt know.

As if. Anyway, I bet you that it was the TARDIS that sunk the Titanic instead of the iceberg back in 1912.
With regards to The Master and regeneration, I was under the impression he was dead forever before this, however he mentioned that the Timelords revived him for the time war, which is why he's around now.
Also choosing to die was his only way of winning against The Doctor, it was the only victory he could ever get. The Doctor was so sad because he was losing the only other time lord left in existence. He's finally not alone and then he goes and dies. He's sad to be the last of his species again.

No. In the original series the first Master people saw was his twelfth regeneration, played by Roger Delgado. He appeared for a bit and then dissappeared. A few years later the Master returned, near the end of his thirteenth and final life played be Peter Pratt and later Geoffrey Beevers as the same incarnation as Pratt. Then he possessed someone and appeared until the end of the original series played by Anthony Ainley.
In the Movie he was on trial by the Daleks. The person playing for the few seconds i at the start was Gordon Tipple, maybe playing the same incarnation as Ainley, or maybe a different one. You can't tell as you can't see all of his face. Later in the movie he possessed someone else played, as we all know, by Eric Roberts. In the end he was killed.
He was later revived by the Time Lords, but ran away and made himself human. So he probably got a new set of regenerations. I'm guessing that Derek Jacobi's incarnation was the first of his new regenerations. When he was killed he regenerated into the Simm's Master, who was probably his second new incarnation.

Anyway, they wouldn't change Doctor midseries.
(Personally, I think the Doctor is regenerating too quickly if they change actor now.)
Well there was a rumor that Tennant was leaving midway through series four. But if you read this:
Quote from: WikipediaTennant has confirmed that he will continue to play the Tenth Doctor at least into the revived programme's fouth series in 2008, and the Sun has reported that he has also signed for the fourth (2008) series, "in a £1 million deal", although the same paper has also reported that he will leave halfway through the fourth series. The BBC has denied this.
you'll see that the rumor was wrong. As most rumors are.
Plus, like Mushroom said, its a bit too soon for the Doctor to regenerate now.

One thing i dont get is Jack being the face of boe
Jack is meant to be invincible. 'a point in time', a 'fact'. So he cannot die. But the face of boe (who we now know is jack) dies
liek....how o.O
Also Jack surely whould have heard the Face of Boe mentioned by Martha after she disovers the watch in Utopia.
And surely he would have been named 'face' of boe when he actually became the face, and not before. He just happens to turn into a face even with that nickname...

The face of something like a brand. Like Boe was a brand, and he was the "face" of it on the posters.
Quote from: WikipediaJack speculates how long he may live and how he may look after millions of years, before mentioning that he was the first person to join the Time Agency and a poster boy for his native Boeshane Peninsula; there, his good looks earned him the nickname "the Face of Boe".

He apparently finds a way eventually.
I just went on the bbc website and there was information about series 4. It appears that Martha will be joining the Torchwood gang with Captain Jack for 3 episodes. But this doesn't cut her out of Doctor Who. She will be joining half way through Series 4 and return to the Tardis.
But this means for the period that she isn't around, there will be a new companion for the whole of series 4, so expect news on the new companion!!
Here's the link... http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/news/cult/news/drwho/2007/07/02/46692.shtml
I knew she wouldn't be gone for long. I wonder who the new companion will be. Should find out soon though. I mean, it was around this time last year that we found out about Martha.
I wonder what she'll be doing at Torchwood though. Hmm
Just a thought: in 'The End Of The World', the Doctor says he 'ended up clinging to an iceberg', thereby implying that he had already been to 1912. Wouldn't that be crossing his own timeline?

Well he's done that often enough so far!
Well it does say that he stopped a family from going on the Titanic, in the first episode. And that the next day it crashed. Maybe he left the day before the Titanic crashed, meaning he wouldn't be crossing timelines...

Do you not mean sunk? The Titanic sunk, not crashed
...After crashing itself into an iceberg TARDIS iceberg.
So Timelords can resurrect themselves now? How on Earth did the Daleks wipe them out?
I'm pretty sure the events at the end of the time war haven't actually been revealed yet, so we don't know how everyone died off.
I suspect that the Timelords wiped out both sides, but it has to be explained how the Daleks managed to get into, survive and tie a war with a timid species that could have just scooped them out of space and time, tied them up and left them somewhere if they wanted.
There is only one left. Maybe it will be in the Christmas Special with the Titanic.
Quote from: LAClennell on July 02, 2007, 20:28

No, Christmas Specials usually just involve some random generic aliens with some stupid generic motives whom the Doctor owns with ease after spending the episode sleeping/talking to a stupid guest star who can't make me laugh/etc.
I say Davros will bring back the Dalek Empire after helping Caan. Screw all these Caan = [insert ridiculous character theory here] ideas I've been hearing around the net.

Well, I've said nothing on the final part of this epic finale so far... so I shall now.
I thoroughly enjoyed the episode, highpoints being the Scissor Sisters song at the beginning, practically everything Martha Jones did, the Doctor's Jesus moment, and the Master's death scene. As well as the Jack = FOB conversation. And the Doctor and Martha's farewell. And the Titanic bit.
Oh, okay, I loved it all.
But there was something missing all the way through... that made it not quite Doomsday or The Parting of The Ways. It wasn't quite so heart-wrenching a season finale as they were - though perhaps that isn't a bad thing. I just remember crying buckets when the Doctor and Rose were trapped on opposite sides of the breach, and I suppose on some level I was hoping for something similar. But, emotionally charged though the Master's death and the various farewells were, none quite matched that.
However, on the whole, it was an excellent episode which pushed all the buttons, was epic, powerfully written, moving and entertaining. 4.5/5.
In other news... It's just been confirmed that Kylie Minogue is most certainly in this year's Christmas Special! So... let's speculate away, shall we?
Here we go, Celebrity-To-Grab-Your-Attention Special again. Sigh... Sylvester McCoy is gonna be in it, so I'm happy about that.
And I really found most of this season boring. Too much Martha "Are you in love with the Doctor?" moments. Every. Freakin'. Episode. Except 'Blink', since it was written by a competent person/Martha wasn't in it much.
My opinions on season 3:
Smith and Jones - 1/5
The Shakespeare Code - 3.5/5
Gridlock - 2/5
Daleks in Manhattan - 4/5
Evolution of the Daleks - 2.5/5
The Lazarus Experiment - 4/5
42 - 2.5/5
Human Nature - 3.5/5
The Family of Blood - 4/5
Blink - 5/5
Utopia - 3.5/5
The Sound of Drums - 3/5
The Last of the Timelords - 2/5
Once RTD leaves, or gets it into his head that he isn't writing a lovey-dovey soap opera, I'll be happy. Hell, better yet, Steven Moffat needs to be head writer.
Well, the US finally gets to see the Season 3 episodes. They start up this Friday evening. So, this should be interesting and I can finally comment on the episodes... albeit about 3 months late, but what are ya gonna do huh? huh? I thought as much.
I'm still perusing Season 2... so unless my DVD place hurries their rear ends up, I'll be watching Season 3 before I finish Season 2. (Only 1/2 way through Season 2). I miss Season 1's Doctor. :( However, I'm starting to like the new guy.
Cheers everyone.

You mean 'character background' (just friendly correction) :). Well, it is an important aspect of Martha, but I think they could've carried it out a little better. In
'The Family of Blood', for instance, they carried it out well (e.g. "We need him..." "I love him to bits!") with Martha's speech. I just think they throw it into the episodes each time without much thought. It
is carried out well sometimes, as I pointed out above, but the dialogue could've been handled better most of the time. The concept is great, Martha showing feelings for the Doctor, who she knows will never return those feelings. I just think it wasn't interesting enough when actually presented on-screen.
Thats another year down i'm gonna have to watch blink in the summer on bbc 3 since i watched the last 10 minutes. but then id have to wait through CE's not as good as DT performance and then through the chav and DT.(i only said chav coz i got bored of series 2 after watching it twice)

I think I may be about to cry.... Too late :'(
Also, a quote from RTD:
"Catherine was an absolute star in The Runaway Bride and we are delighted that one of Britain's greatest talents has agreed to join us for the fourth series"
I think hes gone mad.
I have to admit, I quite liked her near the end of the Christmas special, where she -actually- showed emotion... but an entire series with her?
It might not be that bad... we'll just have to wait and see I guess.
I second the "Roll on Torchwood" motion.
I give up on RTD. He's still under the impression he's writing some joyful mess where you can throw in anyone or anything stupid and get away with it.
Catherine Tate... Brr, the horror!
Doctor Who ain't what it used to be.
@Enigma: Adam had as much charisma as a calculator.
Dare I say...
Give her a chance?
We need a character like Donna - Someone who isn't going to fall in love with the Doctor, who'll stand up to him a bit more.
Wait and see. She was written for the Christmas Special... And she had changed by the end of it. So perhaps she will be a little differently and more deeply written for the next series.
I think Catherine Tate will be great. She's not going to be the bride any more and will be a bit more forceful when it comes to fighting enemies. I can just imagine her character fighting the Daleks.
Quote from: Lord Barnabat on July 04, 2007, 12:27

That's true, but who's to say she won't fall in love with The Doctor? I can see a jealousy thing going with her and Martha. I think two female companions should be interesting, and we haven't had more than one main, long lasting assistant yet.
Ugh. I loathe Catherine Tate with every fibre of my being. I suppose on the plus side, unlike the Catherine Tate Show, she (hopefully) won't be writing any Doctor Who. If they wanted a femal comedy actress in the role, why not Jessica Stephenson? She was great in the episodes she was in, and would, IMHO, be better than Tate.
-finally watched that darn episode-
It's too late to comment on it now, surely? Ah well. I'll just say that I'll miss not having anything to watch on Saturday evenings... [though MTW is coming back on Thursday, so yay~]. The usual tacky-ish "Christmas Special" looks set to be... well, the usual special-ish type.
Catherine Tate being in Doctor Who more wut? Uh... I'm long sick of the Catherine Tate show... which means that I'm rather dreading it if she is in it... but I don't know. I suppose it depends how she is in it... as she won't be any of the CTS characters. Or like them. <.<
I like the news of Donna being the new companion. She'll show a bit of mixed emotion. She be able to face up to Aleins with her fiery, loud mouth tone, but still be able to show her calm side like she did at the end of the last Christmas special...
One thing thats just sprung to mind from the last two episodes... At one point, Martha, The Doctor and Jack were on the News, reported to be terrorists. Next thing we know, Martha is travelling all around the world and she is highly respected. How would she be trusted by so many people, to all say 'Doctor', yet after being reported as a terrorist the day before... o.o

One thing thats just sprung to mind from the last two episodes... At one point, Martha, The Doctor and Jack were on the News, reported to be terrorists. Next thing we know, Martha is travelling all around the world and she is highly respected. How would she be trusted by so many people, to all say 'Doctor', yet after being reported as a terrorist the day before... o.o
Because it was 'Mr Saxon' that told everyone they were terrorists... then 'Mr Saxon' murdered 1/10 of the human race on live tv... So I imagine nobody trusted him too much after that.

But didn't the Doctor make everyone forget about him decimating the population?

Yes, but Latias Tamer was talking about Martha's travels in the 'year that never was' and how everybody trusted and loved her. Before the Doctor pressed his nice big reset button.
Sonna being a companion is going to be good lemme hope there's some comedy in it. also it's gonna be like this:
"It's been time doctor"
"I know it has.so what do you say"
"You know what, i will as long as you don't explain everything complicatedly"

Nononononononononono. NO. I HATE him. Catherine Tate as a companion? Oh fine, whatever. But James Nesbitt? As the Doctor? It must not happen.
What's wrong with him? No idea if he'd make a good doctor but he was good in Jekyll.
Quote from: Xagor on August 03, 2007, 11:35

I agree, every one pretty much said the same about Christopher Eccelston, but he made a great Doctor, no?
James Nesbitt is an excellent actor who can portray many roles, and is excellent in Jekyll.
I Read In The Sun That James Nesbit Is The Next Doctor... I Loved Jekyll.
Yeah, I think hes a good actor too. Which I was too lazy to watch Jekyll, other things I ve seen him in were pretty good, as the trailors to Jekyll. ^^
It was dismissed. Ha.
Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_NesbittTabloid newspaper The Sun published a report in August 2007 suggesting Nesbitt was being considered by the BBC as a replacement for David Tennant in the role of Doctor Who, following his successful collaboration with Steven Moffat on Jekyll. Tennant is rumoured to be quitting the series at the end of the 2008 series and Moffat is widely believed to be taking over executive producer duties from Russell T Davies. The report cites a "mole" in the BBC as the source. This was later dismissed as "a total fabrication" by Steven Moffat on the Outpost Gallifrey fourms.
Oh well, it was a nice thought while it lasted. Sides, no saying it won't happen in the future... o.o

That would amuse me to no end, but no. o.o I really don't know who to expect, but remember, in 'The Christmas Invasion', the Doctor looks at his reflection and moans that he hasn't been ginger before. So... It has to happen sometime.
Hmm... I kinda like David Tennant. Took me a while go get used to him because I really did like Christopher Eccleston a great deal.
In the US, we are currently on Season 3... Evolution of the Daleks: The human Factor?
Friday evening's episode looks to be good.

They always repeat Dr Who. ::)
so I was reading a magazine based on doctor who and found out that in the next series we get to see the ood home planet and considering they die without somebody giving them orders then maybe the beast is back. Or maybe caan found them
Or maybe it's set before they became enslaved and dependent on orders.
I LOVE DOCTOR WHO!

I've not actually heard anything about Tennant leaving, don't know where The Sun got that idea from.
EDIT: Funnily enough: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/news/cult/news/drwho/2007/09/03/48471.shtml
Sounds kinda lenghy wait for Series 5. Ah well, Series 4 and 3 Specials I suppose can fill the gap...
yeah.... there is one thing.... i heard that they were going to drop Doctor Who because the main writer was "suppose" to retire and everyone else will drop it....it's looks like it won't be true...
I think Russel T Davis wanted to end the series, but obviously, the BBC did't. lol.
RTD butchered Doctor Who. Season 1 of the revived series was good, but it got progressively worse, and season 4 will undoubtedly follow suit. It's a crappy half-assed romance drama now, and doesn't have the same feel as the classic series.
Steven Moffat could easily save the series with his superior writing skills, if he could just take that idiot RTD's place.
The MAIN problem with Doctor Who at the moment is DAVID TENNANT & STUPID WRITING eg:
1 - Doctor doing a pathetic 'drunk office party-goer' is season 2.
2 - Master's 'Laser Screwdriver' *ARRGGHH*
3 - Super Doctor - why don't we just make the Doctor able to do ANYTHING....
Russell T Davies might be the best thing to happen, a completely fresh start WITHOUT Tennant might just get everything back on track. Season 1 was the best.
1 - The 'drunk office party-goer' was a facade to get close enough to the console to shut down the robots.
2 - The Master deliberately done that to get to the Doctor - "Laser Screwdriver; who'd have Sonic?"
3 - 'Stop the Cybermen; destroy the Daleks'? Ring a bell?
And I found Russell T Davies kickass in the last 3 episodes of this year's series. :)

I guess everyone is differant, as I found the last 2/3 episode of this years series horrendous, maybe it's because I've been watching since the 80's. It's just become silly and their is no danger because they can always give the Doctor a new ALIEN ability such as the super-Doctor (if you clap the fairy comes back to life.. is he Tinkerbell??).
There were some absolutely AMAZING eps though - School Reunion? The episode with the message on the DVDs??
The God theme music for school reunion was good but i think i heard something like that before also the angels were scary and the last dalek meets the 10th doctor and then meets the 9th.
Explaining:
In Daleks in Manhattan the Daleks say they are the last 4 and they sounded confident, one dalek remained that was the last. it teleported and doctor said he will see him again. and that Dalek in 'Dalek' in S1 seems to be that one from S3

I personally think that the idea of that episode was good - but giving David Tennant another reason to goof around (office-party diguise) was a TERRIBLE mistake, a 900 year old Timelord even imagining that pretending to be a drunk 23 year old human seems a little sicening to older fans.
Though in THAT episode that is the only problem I have with it - I don't think necessarily the WRITING is to blame, i just think they're turning it into too much of a comedy.
You
do know Douglas Adams used to write for Doctor Who, right? Or that Terry Nation started his career in comedy? Doctor Who's meant to have funny moments and the Tenth Doctor's supposed to be more light-hearted when the darker side of him hasn't come out yet.
And I'll say it again:
Quote1 - The 'drunk office party-goer' was a facade to get close enough to the console to shut down the robots.
Oh, and:

Nah, the Dalek in Van Statten's bunker was a random foot soldier who demanded orders even from the Doctor. Dalek Caan, on the other hand, had free will (to and extend) and a mind of his own (again, to an extent).

Douglas Adams, who I very much respect has written for Doctor Who, correct & Terry nation. BUT there is a matter of taste & whether it breaks this and becomes unbelievable for the character. Doctor Who at it's heart IS a stalwart Sci-Fi series.
BTW - there are vast sections of Adams' work including HitchHikers Guide where there are quiet serious and sobering moments, this is something he brought to Doctor Who.
Quote from: Danse_Maxavarious on September 06, 2007, 22:53

I'd have to disagree with you there. I think it's always been a little tongue-in-cheek, self-deprecatingly jokey and very camp - I mean, look at Bessie, or the Doctor's variety of costumes? And have you ever seen "The Mind Robber" or "The Two Doctors"? It's a camp as pants, British family drama at its heart.
Just a thought, could the Beeb have picked Davies with the intention of producing a camp show?
Anyway, I think that the three main problems with Russ' are:
His tendency to end a series with a situation so hard to escape from that something terribly corny happens like magic being used or people kiss to save the world and the power of love saves everyone (or something along those lines).
He is in love with his own planet.
And he keeps saying the Doctor is 900 years old, I'm probably the only one who is bugged by this, but Sly McCoy's Doctor was over 900, continuity please.

There is continuity as he is over 900, but he can spend hundreds of years - or no time at all between episodes, which is quite cool - it could have been a hundred years between the 'Donna' Xmas special & the first episode of the last series.
It's true that Doctor Who has always had a campness factor, but it was always suitable to the age... think about the flying care etc. during Pertwee's reign? I'm quite sure they took that seriously.
The level of humour has to fit the time.. as I have already said, With a new Doctor & director I think this issue can be solved easilly.
And they've taken parts of the new series seriously too. There's the same balance as before.

Hmm, I don't think I'll get my point across. Well - we'll have to see what happens!! If it gets better I'll keep on watching, if not I'll have to wait for Tennant'd Doctor to die before returning to it!
If you check the Doctor Who website, you'll see that they are set to continue the Mary-Jane spinoff and that in one of the episodes, the Slitheen are returning =p
http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/news/cult/news/drwho/2007/09/06/48574.shtml
Well at least the Slitheen aren't coming back to Doctor Who (I really hope), but I really wish they wouldn't make more Sarah-Jane adventures, isn't Doctor Who fun enough for kids as it is?

There's a limit to how 'fun' Doctor Who should be?
Phil, he's referring to Doctor Who being a family show and how it may not need additional spin-offs aimed at a younger audience when they can be satisfied with the core show itself.
I don't see why not, I thouroughly enjoyed the pilot to the Sarah-Jane Adventures. And I'm 20, so pshaw!
I was bored, and flicked the other day the channel over to ABC [Australian Broadcasting Commission] and Doctor Who was on. Now it was a new series with new episodes, and I had only ever watched a few..
- the one where they go to 'new new' york or something?
- and some others.
Now, this one had Captain Jack Harkness in it, and I like Torchwood <333. They were on some planet with crazy people and they tried to make a footprint system work so the shuttle could go to Utopia.
'The Master' had a watch and used it, became young again, instead of being a 'professor' while the Doctor and Jack were locked in as 'The Master' stole the Tardis [Phone Box]
I quite liked it, not being a fan and all.

Yes that is very 'interesting' y are u putting " ' " in The Master it's his name like you don't see us putting ' on The Doctor Like This:
'The Doctor' used his 'Sonic Screwdriver' and then after 'The Master' used his 'Laser Screwdriver'
All time lords at the age of 8 choose their own name The doctor chose 'The doctor'(<- this is appropriatte time) and the master picked 'The Master' as his name
Is anyone listening to BBC7 right now? They're rerunning 8th Doctor audio dramas at 6pm every weekday for the next few weeks!
Erm, where does it say that they choose a name at the age of 8? We don't know when or why they chose these days, only what they meant by choosing those particular names (from The Sound of Drums).
does anyone know when the doctor who is cumin bk?

I say give 'Sarah Jane Adventures' a go, if you don't like it.. don't watch it. This is one of those shows which will only appeal to a certain type of person (a bit like Mask in the 80's).
The show I'm scared of is K-9 Adventures... as far as I can tell they're still working on it.. a CGI K-9!! Dangit!!
Just spotted this.
QuoteOn August 7, 2007, The Sun reported that Sir Ben Kingsley is to play Davros in the 2008 series. This has not been confirmed by the BBC.
Course, the Sun was incorrect about the 11th Doctor thing, so you never know...
I heard about that the other week. I also saw something in a TV Guide that the Davros returning part was true. Although since its not official from the BBC I don't really believe it.

Could be true, they always tend to bring back an old enemy every season. Though I was hoping for a completely NONE Dalek return this time...
Davros will come back and help Caan. That's what I've been thinking for months.
Davros was an amazing villain. Too bad he won't be as great in RTD's hands.

SFX wize I'm sure he'll be amazing - but with the way the writing has been going lately I'm not too sure they could make best use of such a brilliant villain.
With any luck he'll be the one to get rid of Tennant!! TENNANT MUST BE EXTERMINATED!!! ;)
Hmm? But Tennant is rather awesome. He's a more interesting Doctor than Ecclestone was.
Exactly, and I m sure you people will critizise the new guy who ll replace him for not being like Tennet. :P

Nope!! It's Ecclestone was great and I loved the 1st Season & generally siince I picked it up I've never had much of a problem with any of the Doctors (not even Sylvester McCoy). My issue with Tennant is not his acting, but the way THIS Doctor's character has been put together - the 'gurning'/'driving plot' balance is far too sided on gurning.
Who would people want as a new Doctor if they did change again?
What you just described the Tennat Doctor as didn't register in my head, Danse_Maxavarious. Care to expand?
Quote from: Phil on September 23, 2007, 04:44

As I said, this is my personal experience.
While most episodes are fine, and as usual some of them are BRILLIANT (aka School Reunion, the Angels episode, etc). There are episodes, as with the Girl Behind the Fireplace where they add things ins such as the 'drunken party guy' or 'laser screw-driver' and other BAD gags, which I don't think they'd use for anyone else.
Each Doctor is written as a new character (within certain boundaries). And while I still believe Tennant is a good actor - I think that the series would improve with a new Doctor.
You won't necessarily register my opinion in you head, as it's not going to be the same as yours. Doesn't mean I can't have it though Phil. ^_^
Has anyone seen the Patrick Troughton story entitled 'The Invasion'? Personally, this story is one of PTs best stories and Kevin Stoney, who plays the villian, Tobias Vaughn really gives a great performance. You really feel like you hate him. Also, Packer, his evil sidekick is pretty well-acted too. He is just as evil as vaughn, especially when he laughs when someone calls him a 'vicious sadist'.
Also, the scene where the cybermen walk past st pauls catherdral is legendary! Honestly, you dont get villians like vaughn and packer and this cyberman scene in dr who anymore!
Well I WAS thinking caan could go forward in time and end up in the collection and being the same dalek as the one in elcelston's episode of the last dalek but I didn't see the little badge under the 'last' dalek's eye so i wouldn't know for certain as the cult of skaro each have their own unique badges i put a picture up if i can find it. Also Davros return would be cool and possible as would their not be a parallel skaro and galifray in the parallel universe (where the cyber men came from). Also the idea of daleks are that there many of them not just one so if caan is the last dalek once and truly and it may be so then davros that mix's up a new batch of daleks also something did you know dalek is an anagram of kaled which is davros's species
This is pretty funny. (http://mimi-na.deviantart.com/art/Doctor-s-Girls-46247500)

That is good because I will be looking forward to it more as it will be a proper episode this time. Catherine Tate was the worst person to choose as she has to be funny in everything. Time Crash sounds like an interesting title as well.
The Wiki page, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Crash) which also has a pic of the 2 Doctors together.
At the weekend I decided the re-watch the episodes from when the Doctor turns back into human; Human Nature and Family of Blood. Well there's the small boy that has some sort of connection with time or something... but there's a clip where he see's Martha running past, but then flashes over to see her running past in present day 2007. Do we ever find ot why he had this connection or not?

Should be excellent, remember them from the first time round... now with added special effects (rather than a deformed pizza flopped on their heads ;D )
Anyone else want Richard E Grant for the next Doctor?? He did a stint at the Doctor for a one-off "Cry of the Rakshee" before they announced they were bringing the Doctor back.
He was awesome!
I'm obsessed at the moment with 'The Invasion'. I just cant stop watching it! Also, I've noticed that there's something about the B&W eps that isn't in the new ones. I dont quite know what but theres something about them that makes them special and I dont think it could be achieved in the new eps. Not with all the CGI anyway. Also, the stories in the Patrick Troughton era are absolutely amazing! There hasn't been one dull episode and I think they have the best storylines out of the whole of doctor who (yes even the new ones). Sometimes, I wish the people who dont bother with the old series at all would watch the 60s eps and appreciate how great it was, even though they had cardboard sets!
Who agrees?

I do agree, without the special effects they concentrated on story much more, although my favourite Doctor is Tom Baker.. I know.. it's shameful.
You have to actually WATCH the original Doctor Who series to appreciate that the new series isn't as amazing as you think.. Doctor Who is GENERAL is amazing!!

Less of that. Have you read the rules? There was absolutely no need to insult him in that way.. he didn't do anything to hurt you, and he only made a slight error. Consider this a warning.
And don't be a suckup.
Anyone see the Kiddies in Need special? Though it was kinda good considering what it was (Just a 7 min ep) and sweet how it showed what inferlence the 5th Doctor had on the Doctor Who series. =D
It was rather funny lol, I love it when David says 'What!' at the start and end
It was great, especially when he figures out who he is.
Has anyone seen the picture of the Sontaran for the 2008 episodes?
I loved it... "You were my Doctor!" It was beautiful stuff.
Also - John Barrowman confirmed he's back next series!
I thought it was great. I wasn't sure how they were going to fit it in at the end of last series, but they managed to fit it in between shots.
It was very well made, and some good comedy again from David as usual and from Peter. Loved how he said 'Oh and Doctor! Don't forget to put your sheilds up' and then the Titanic comes bursting through. xD

YEY Jack's back Again. I wonder what will happen next time they meet. I would imagine it be for one episode or a two parter where they encounter jack and he helps as he has his team at torchwood. Maybe the team helps?
I liked the children in need episode which if people didn't watch it's on the bbc website i'll get the link in a bit and i like the way that they just run past each other at the begging and not notice theres somebody else in the TARDIS
Remember my Dr Who drawing? I ve inked (http://laprasking.deviantart.com/art/Doctor-Who-The-Anime-INKED-70020814) and coloured (http://laprasking.deviantart.com/art/Doctor-Who-The-Anime-COLOUR-70021598) it. ;)
Found the link here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey/onthenight/article_doctorwho.shtml) I like the way they helping charity AND bringing us a entertaing scene...It's not too late to watch the scene you know or donate you know :angel:
Who wants to know who the new doctor's going to be?
tenant has confirmed he is going to be in the fourth AND fifth series and there is a year between series 4 & 5 but there are going to be specials there instead so thats next year for 4 the year after for specials and in 2010 (the year after That) the fifth series
so are you sure theres going to be a new doctor? Please show us where you got this idea
The newspaper and some contacts ;) David Tennant has decided he doesn't want to deprive us all of Doctor Who so he is giving up the role.
If this is true then why isn't it on the BBC's Doctor Who website? And what newspaper did you get it from?
I seriously doubt this is true though.

Ah, yes. I heard about that last year. It was proved false if its the article I think you mean. Did it by any chance say that Robert Carlyle was to be the new doctor? And that Tennant was leaving mid-way through the 4th series? If so then it is 100% false.
news papers do circulate rumours though. and how is he drpriving us from doctor who?

Rose is going to return for a small bit of next series! The BBC haven't released how she'll return and when. They said they think it'll be for a few episodes, but it won't be perminant... so Rose fans... celebrate!

No, said nothing about that. John Simm is the next doctor, supposedly.
What are you talking about? o.o Since John Simm was the Master, they wouldn't make him into another character, especially the Doctor. But we knew what you'd say would be false anyway.

Why bring back Rose? That just kills the emotion of the dilemma that she can't see the Doctor again because he's in a totally different, inaccessible world.
Plus, who wants to see the return of this anyway?
(http://i14.tinypic.com/7xcxjky.jpg)
TOTAL agree with faf there... it's just ridiculous... why kick up such a fuss about the end of that series... go to all the trouble of making it so dramatic and serious... if the people are going to say LOL DIDN'T MEAN IT 8D
Bah.
Stop dragging up the closed plot.
Also, that picture made me puncture a lung.
Laughing, not just for the hell of it.
Far too many comebacks there. Martha, Jack, possibly Davros and now Rose? Bit much BBC...
Been watching some classic Dr Who DVDs I brought lately. Hand of Fear, which is pretty good, but how the Doc and Sarah got rid of the monster was stupid. Time Flight, which was pretty good, especially the Master's suprice appearence. And the Ark of Infiny, which was a bit boring me thought....
I say keep Rose back in her parallel world. I mean, she was alright, but what is it with some people and the obsession with her? The Doctor always changes companions, whether people like it or not. What's the point of trying to bring her back?
My personal studies of Rose obsessors has led me to this...
They are seperated into different categories.
A) ZOMGDOCTORWHOR00LSMARTHASUXKEEPROSE! Category. Usually the members of cet category have only seen Doctor Who since the season with Christopher Eccleston in it (for the purpose of this analysis, let's call it season one.) Ergo, Rose is their first known companion and when she was axed- pfft...Fallout time. Plus I don't think that the romantic aspect presented by the writers helped much there. I'm not saying that the writing in general is poor, just that the romantic aspect was more visual and dramatic than classic series.
Also, the members of this category seem to be extremely Anti-Martha. Whether it's their purist belief to have just Rose as The Doctor's companion, or that they are Racist, is yet to be uncovered. Just joking about that previous comment there folks. Don't be alarmed or offended. They might also be offended by the Fact that Martha is more independent and smart than Rose. Rose had her moments, but Martha had more.
B) The "I've seen the classic series, but I prefer Rose to Martha anyday" Category.
They have an opinon and has seen and understood the old series companion theorem. But again, the presentation of Rose by the writers seems to have 'clicked' more into their taste than the classic episodes.
Anyway, the above is my two pennies on the Rose V. Martha situation, and is not representable to the world and it's subsidiaries.
I gotta agree with you here. I don't see why the needed to bring her back, especially now. The fact that there will be 2 others with Doctor makes it seem like a bit of a weird time to bring her back, but also it defeats the point of the 'dramatic and (as Rose fans call it) heartbreaking' finish to series 2. The original episdoes didn't really concentrate on the relatiohship between the Doctor and companion, but just that she helped him out...

Exactly. It just seems that nowadays every TV serial has to be 'sexed' up or involve romantic relationships that either succeed or fail. I think that companions should be just that- companions. Not romantic interests. But it's the fad these days. Love, romance and tradgedy. Oh what happened to cynicism, logic and intelligence?
Maybe that's why I like Martha more out of these new 'uns... as there's not this whole OMGTROOLUV thing going on... which to be honest bores me.
Or maybe she's just less pink tracksuit.

As far as I know, they are only bringing Rose back for a few episodes - probably to lead up to Martha returning. But the Doctor having more than one companion is not so unusual Davidson & Troughton definitely had multiple companions.. the same for Pertwee & the good Baker did as well (it's late I'm afraid don't noob me if I'm wrong).
I've been watching Doctor Who since the Troughton days and if anything I think the level of writing has decreased, while the visuals have increased.
Though, while I agree the 'love' story added in to the newer series is annoying (don't forget people that Martha has a crush on the Doc'), I can see why they put it in - to concentrate more on character than previous series.

Ratings.. *sigh* everything loses to ratings. About time we had another companion die eh? The first time that happened shocked me, but if Rose comes back & dies it'll kae up for Tennant as the Doctor.
Was watching the first ever episode again last night and made me realise that nothing can ever beat the original doctor who. I just love the 60s episodes. I do like the new ones very much and I'm glad they brought it back, but I remain faithful to the B&W episodes, of which were some amazing storylines, sound effects, actors and villians/monsters before they had loads of crap in the 80s. Even now, the listed things cannot, for me, outdo the originals.
Examples of amazing episodes are The Invasion and The Tomb of the Cybermen. Infact, the Invasion has such a good storyline, someone quoted on the DVD extras that the story would have worked just as well even if they didn't have the cybermen in it.
Saw Destiny of the Daleks today. Very good. =D
My mum watched the Old Doctor Who when she was babysitting. It scared the kid she was babysitting. The kid is now working at netto, Sealing boxes
The official Doctor Who website has now confirmed that Rose will be returning - but has told us not to believe any earlier reports of for how long.
The previous source was the BBC News website!!! Something tells me there may have been a change of scripte recently and someone wasn't informed... please.. kill off Rose perminently!! >:D
I think that the writers are jumping the shark now- instead of thinking up brilliant new stories, themes and characters, they have to bring old ones back to appease fans- well, some fans.
I'm not doubting that they won't be able to create some fantastic stories, but what they should do is just leave Rose where she is- She can't just be trapped in a parallel universe which has been sealed off, then suddenly she returns- it's stupid. Just leave Rose where she is and make the Doctor get over it. What happened to the crochety 600 year old man we used to love?

Well she was enamoured with the Doctor, Vice Versa, although she was strong willed and minded in many stories, she still ended up crying for the Doctor and such. She playfully teased the Doctor, in a sickening teens-in-love way.
In my opinion, Martha is better as a companion. She's an intellectual equal for the Doctor, and is not too exorborant in wanting a romantic relationship.

Be fair to the man, in the original series tended to lie about his age or he'd have a few adventures on his own & then come back to the same time, looking the same but clocking up a hundred years or so in the meantime. I'm prety sure he was giving off the age 600 for a while.
While I agree bring too many old characters back is ridiculous - and that Rose should stay where she is (unless she wants to be KILLED off this time), the one old enemy per series quota they've had since the Doctor came back is actually quite good & healthy. It's getting the newer fans to look at older episodes to see what they were like. Back when the scripts were good.

Then in 2009 there is a year that has three 'specials' to give David Tennant time to work on other projects.
Then, in 2010, series 5.

Davros is still a rumour & hasn't really had anything substantial to prove it so far. Though if the Daleks want to make their annual return (please stay out of this season... PLEASE), they'll need someone like Davros. I'd say it's 75/25 that he doesn't make a comeback.
-
I very much doubt John Sim is going to be the next Doctor, though the episode left it so the Master himself could return - what I'd love to see is The Master returning as Chris Eccleston.. now that WOULD be interesting!
We need a new Doctor, and a new direction - what about an older Doctor?
or a ginger doctor! Or a black doctor!
RTD is leaving after series 4, so the series WILL go under a new direction. New writer/s usually mean new direction + new opening too.
Who is RTD?

Who is really going to be watching TV on christmas day? I will have to record it on my freeview in my room. Is Martha going to be in the next series because their was rumours ages ago she didn't want to carry on doing Doctor Who.
Well the last 2 Xmas specials have been on Xmas day. And tons of peeps watch XMas telly. Its why they roll out all those XMas specials and big movies.
Apparently, Martha returns at some point in the next series (I think half way). She ll also be in the next series of Torchwood too.
I forgot about Torchwood. I can't wait for the second series of it and Martha might do better in it than she did in Torchwood.

Actually, its the one where the doctor bring that girl back to her time period. And when the girl saw his mother, she was shocked, and that was because she came back to this period 12 months after she left. I did watch through a whole episode, but I just classed it as a boring show.

ok, The Empty Child was good, Bad Wolf, crap. The Impossible Planet, just people talking 'the creature in the pit' and Human nature, crap again. The only thing exciting about double parts are the cliffhangers
Erm yeah Human Nature was one of the best episodes of all 3 of the modern series. You just don't appreciate certain things and prefer action (although nothing wrong with that per se...)
I like having the adrenalin pumping through my veins so I didn't really like Human Nature/Family of Blood. Sorry for wanting that.
Speaking of episodes, I found these
Confirmed episode titles for season 4
Episode 1 - Partners In Crime
Episode 4 - The Sontaran Stratagem (2 parter)
Unconfirmed Titles, I think.
Planet of the Ood
T.U.A.T.W.
Streets of London - This may or may not be a title
UNIT will make a proper return in the Sontaran story

David Tennant won't be leaving (shame, not my favourite Doctor - Chris was good), but TV magazine's have now started to state that Davros WILL be returning - and where there is Davros.. THERE BE DALEKS ME HEARTIES!!
Was anyone else hoping this was going to be the series without Daleks? Or was it just me?
Whether or not this is just another TV-Land rumour, or a genuine leak we'll just have to wait and see.
Anyone else think the Sontarans are looking a bit shoddy in their new form?? I remember then looking a bit more battle weary than in the promo shot? And taller..
There have been many rumblings about Davros returning, so I m guessing its getting more and more likely.

All current rumours on Davros' casting have been rejected though. In my opinion Davros is likely to return as a special effect rather than an actor. I believe in Colin Baker's Doctor he is merely a head by that point & in a similar stat by the time Silvester McCoy meets up with him.
As the Doctor has aged a couple of hundred years in his time-off from screen, does this mean we'll be seeing an even MORE decrepid Davros??
*Lol* Any bets on what he'll look like?
In the Colin Baker Davros eps, he was just a head that moved left and right. HOWEVER, in part 2, it was reveal that was not the real Davros and the real Davros entered in his more familor state after the fake was destroyed.
I know because I have it on DVD.

*Chuckle* The depths of your knowledge never fail to amaze me Lapras, though I still want credits as I was working off of memory. Still, he will be 'updated' - my little brother DEMANDS his dalek chair returns (and I think that's a must), but the rest of him IMO should be a special effect. Possibly an animatronic/CG cross.
From Wiki
QuoteIn August 2007, The Sun reported that Sir Ben Kingsley was in talks to play Davros in the 2008 series.[8] In an October 2007 interview with The Guardian, Kingsley denied any knowledge of the claim, saying "I've never heard about this.".[9]
On October 8, 2007, the Daily Star reported that the Series Four finale would featuring the Doctor battling Davros alongside several of his old companions.[10] This has not been confirmed by the BBC or any official sources. Patrick Stewart has also been linked with the role. [11] This has also not been confirmed by the BBC.
Should be noted that a Davros DVD Boxset was recently released, so that could be another hint of a Davros comeback...
Bring on Davros. But you have got to realise that Wikipedia is the most unrealiable peace of information you can get on the net. Like once I saw that the newtenth doctor will have a lemon for a head. See what I mean?

If that's true, it was probably for about thirty seconds/a few minutes. Now, how long has it said that the Tenth Doctor is played by David Tennant? A much longer period of time, I'd imagine. So what fraction of that time was Wikipedia actually incorrect?

On the subject of Davros returning, it's pretty much inevitable now, given that there is only one Dalek in the entire universe as of now. Most likely he'll clone more Daleks so that writers can keep pulling them out for future episodes.

So far it appears people are picking famous bald actors & making wikipedia entries for them being Davros - if I was making another... if I was making a false entry in Wiki, thats what I'd do.
Seeing as the Davros has always been a man in near complete head make-up, there is no reason why the actor playing Davros has to be bald.. or even feature physically! I still say to keep minds open!!

Very interesting, though I think Patrick Stewart has had & is still under some pretty demanding theatre comitments for a couple of plays (all the best Star Trek Captains do Shakespear.. yes, especially Shatner). Given that Doctor Who has had quite a gap I doubt there are that many companions that would be in a position to return - mainly McCoy's & McGanns.. they're probably the only ones that may get away with being 'of their age' rather than very aged versions.
As I've said - I hope the series closer has Rose dying... PERMINENTLY.
From looking at descriptions, pictures and trailers, it seems that this episode doesn't actually happen on the real Titanic, but a space ship in the future. At first I though the impact with the Tardis had sent it into space, but it seems not so... =p
Also, some of you may know of the Extra's christmas special that airs on the UK on the day after boxing day. Well it contains a Doctor Who scene.
It aired in the US on the 14th. Here's the clip...

Given that Doctor Who has had quite a gap I doubt there are that many companions that would be in a position to return - mainly McCoy's & McGanns.. they're probably the only ones that may get away with being 'of their age' rather than very aged versions.
As I've said - I hope the series closer has Rose dying... PERMINENTLY.
Should be noted that Patrick Stewart had been one of the many considerations for the 8th Doctor for the movie.
As for Rose dying, good. I was dissappointed when they went with that cheesey bit where her dad saved her from the void. :dry:

That did seem rather unrealistic... Firstly, how would he have known that she was going into the void, when he was in the parallel universe...And secondly, he would have been pushed into the void before he had time to catch her...
But they wouldn't kill a main character off... =p
Well they should. I believe in the history in the show, only 1 companion has ever died
it would have been better if he went to save her but his transport machine didn't work to get him BACK so they both got sucked in :tongue2:

I don't think he did, I think he just went through to get her for Jackie and then it was like "Whoaaa!"
And, things were sucked into the void if they'd travelled extensively between the universes, and got soaked in void stuff. He'd only been through a couple of times and not spent much time in any universe other than his own. So there wasn't so much pull on him.
But what about Rose? shouldn't she not have been pulled in so fast? If I recall, the total void journeys go as such (before the void being opened)...
Rose:
Rise of the Cybermen/Age Of Steel: Went into Parallel universe via the void and back
into 'our' universe by the void too.
Army Of Ghosts/Doomsday: Was transported with parallel Pete through the void,
then transported back again
Total void journeys for Rose A.V.O (Avant Void Opening) : 4
Pete (Parallel):
Army of Ghosts/Doomsday: Transported with the Doctor to our universe.
Transported back with Rose.
Transported back to yoink Rose.
Total void journeys for Pete A.V.O: 3
Of course, things are subjected to length of travel through the void (time-wise) and any previous Journeys Pete might've been on before. But again, these are my speculations, feel free to improve/add anything onto them.
Guys
GUYS
...I know why Pete wasn't sucked into the void.

Erm, as far as I know. David Tennant won't be leaving the show anytime soon. His regenartion are just false rumors. And I don't think the Dalek will return this series...well I hope not anyway...
Maybe Cybermen will be involved when Rose returns...
Yeah, David said that Cath had gone up omn some show and said he was leaving for a joke... DAVID MUST NOT LEAVE!!!!
any other girls think he is hot?... XD

It wouldn't be the first time they killed off a companion, I've only seen one die myself - but a little research shows:
Katarina+
Sara Kingdom+
Adric+
Kamelion+
I think it was Sara that I saw die. The Doctor (T Baker) was powerless to save her. Now we know there is a set prescedent for companions dying... Rose next!!
Who knows... maybe the Doctor is about to get shot...until Rose runs in, and dies. So she's only shown alive for 10 seconds. :tongue2:

Perhaps she gets stuck onto a conveyor belt, and an alien plays 'duck hunt' with her as she gets shot to peices dying slowly....
Actually I don't dislike her JUST the fact that she's making a return. I hope that they make a really good storyline for her coming back - but it's such a great opportunity to add an extra dimension into the currently 'romance' drowned atmosphere of the show.

Just one more day until we get to see Doctor Who on the new Space Titanic (saves Eccleston's Doctor running into Tennants I guess).
Who out there is excited? Ah, asteroids... the icebergs of the sky!!
6:50pm, people, don't forget to watch!
Oh, I couldn't possibly forget!
Mixed feelings about that episode.
It all seemed a bit... random o.o Like, why go through the malarky of the asteroid shower when Capricorn could just turn it all off from his little buggy? Why kill off "witnesses" when they'd all surely die? And why was the Doctor suddenly the highest authority when the Hosts knew he was a stowaway, surely they'd follow orders from the only sailor left?
It was all a bit perfect, too. "I used to heat from the reentry to restart the engines." Pffffft.
It was jolly lucky that Balawhatshisface was able to output an electromagnetic wave to shortcircuit the Hosts like that.
Seems the Astrid - Tardis thing was just a red herring then?
It had its good points though. Like Astrid standing on the medic pack to kiss the Doctor, that was just aww xD I did cry at the ending. Although again, the thing about the teleport bracelets made little sense to me.
All the nods to The Titanic story were good... like the couple standing on deck to admire the pretty meteor showe.
Best part was that quote from Mr Coppering [or whatever his name was]:
If you could choose who lived and who died, you'd be a monster.
Liked that.
Yeah... meh episode.
Pretty good Xmas special. Some good moments and good evil robots (Information, KILL). An improvement over last year! =D
My favourite Christmas special so far.
I absolutely loved Astrid. And Mr Copper!
Ten was on top form as well, I loved the bit where the Host lifted him up.
Midshipman Frame was cool too, as well as the Captain, though as Geoffrey Palmer's one of my favourite actors, would've been nice to see more of him. And of Bernard Cribbins (the old chap in London).
Storyline-wise, of course it was a bit 'oh how lucky', but it's a Christmas special, it's meant to be a bit jokey. The Queen! She was great.
I loved the Astrid becoming atoms and stardust and stuff... Very His Dark Materials.
I'll give it... 8/10?
Oh wait..
"Allons-y, Alonso!"
Make that 9/10!
That sucked.
The preview for season 4 was the best thing about it. Woot for the Sontaran Leader appearing at the end of it!
Quote from: barnabat on December 25, 2007, 23:08The Queen! She was great.
The queen sucks.
Really nicely backed up opinions there.
I enjoyed that episode.
Storyline-wise it was good, but nearly obvious (ventured on the insurance-claim territory there). I could also tell at some points that someone was going to die. But it didn't really matter as it was a thoroughly enjoyable episode. Alonso Frame was great- still acting as authority and helper to everyone on the ship despite getting shot. It would've been nice if Mr. Copper of Alonso went with the Doctor (so he could have a male companion, excluding Jack, and so he could go "Allons-y Alonso!".)
I'm a bit worried about Mr. Copper. £1,000,000? It'll be difficult to buy a house and such, with his limited experience on such like the housing market, insurance and heating the place, powering the place.
But I over-analyse.
Overall a thouroughly enjoyable show.
Information- 8/10.
Oh, those hosts would be great in a Benny-Hill-esque chase- going "Kill, Kill, Kill" in their silly voices with Yakety Sax playing. Oh yes!
Why did Astrid have to die...?
Although I thought it was funny when she got on the first aid box.
I understood the end until The Doctor kissed her before she disappeared into space. I thought that was a hologram...?
And the Queen sucked. They should have crashed into her.
All round good episode, and it was good to see Richard do something that isn't Keeping Up Appearances.
9/10, since it drove me to tears.

Well I don't think that the Doctor is an Anti-Royalist whom would kill himself and everyone else on board just to bump off dear old Lilibet.

It wasn't a hologram... It was the last stardusty atoms of her mostly lost self. There wasn't enough of her left to be a full, conscious person, but there was the echo of it still there. As I said earlier, it was very Phillip Pullman, that bit.

I'm pretty sure that the human eye can't see atoms, and that they don't necessarily glow all blue and fairydust-like. But that could just be me.
The human eye can see atoms. You're looking at them now.
It was a collection of atoms just like a real person is. Just, less firm.

Okay, let me put that another way.
The human eye cannot see a single atom on it's own. That's atom. Singular.
And I notice that you haven't decided to explain why an atom would be blue and look like it came from Tinkerbell.
Oh, I was referring to the version of her that still looked like her, the one he kissed.
For the stardusty floaty blue Tinkerbell bits...
Hm, well... Maybe they were still clumped together?
Or alternatively, artistic license.

Well, I don't think she'd be a blue ghost if approximately half her atoms weren't there... she'd be a mess on the floor, and even if the machine was attempting to 'reassemble' her she'd still have colour (although I imagine she'd be a bit faded/translucent). That bit was down to interpretation really, I guess.
Artistic License is one thing, but really... it's science-fiction, and while things like lazers and made-up names are fine and dandy, contradicting scientific facts can really take away the believability factor.
Some would say that time travel and being aged centuries by a laser beam and defeating millions of evil witches with a Harry Potter spell also contradict scientific facts.

Time travel hasn't been disproven by any means, and the witches hardly contradicted known science; they just used made-up science.
Time travel can't happen, cause time dosn't exist.
Anyways, I liked that episode. Not the best by far, but was good to have a different one off companion. Oh and it had a few funny one-liners.
Who else thought that capricorn was a cheap, Davros rip-off? Hopefully those weren't what the rumours were about.

Well you *could* say that time is merely a system of measurement we use to schedule actions, and doesn't really exist...
I thought that was a good episode. It was a good story line, although I was hoping there would be more of connection with it crashing into the wall of the tardis. Loads of deaths as well which was really quite noticable, with isn't often highlighted in Doctor Who. One thing I found a bit unrealistic was that the Alonso managed to make it through, stay concious and everything, even though he had been shot. I'd have expected someone who has been shot to be loosing blood and unconcious, but oh well. Loved the touch of the Titanic movie in it too. It had some really good moments, with Astrid having to stand on the box...but I think the Doctor is starting to get over emotional about his companions, especially when he ends up kissing them all, (And it'll be Donna next...) I think he needs an Alien companion to. Would add a bit of difference, but take away the romantic side, which they seem to be putting in...
Next Series looks good, but no real clips that shows off anything major...yay for Sontarans!
i was expecting pilot fish again and it was a good espiosode overall and yeah good and just think of how many trinkets he could buy with that amount of money =P
The Sun reports another story.
*POSSIBLE SPOILER*
Apparently, 1 episode will not have the Doctor in it. Instead, it ll have the 3 assistants (Rose, Martha and Donna) controling the Tardis looking for the Doc (Whos lost in space apparently)

Sound good, not the first time something like this has happened. But it'll be good to have a Tennant free episode.
I think this years Christmas episode was excellent, I especially love the way they crammed the Christmas content in. As much as I've come to admire the robo-santas it was good to have an alien's take on the festivities.
I think Doctor Who in general has got the balance of Companion/Doctor a bit too on the Companions side at the moment. While I agree there has to be a connection between them (else why would a 900 year old alien travellor bother to take them).. but it's now TOO soppy. It's time for a goold old alien & a human exporing the mystery of the universe. Not just love-in-space.
Nice Lost in Space Ref. eh?

That sounds like it would be a great episode. Hopefully it isn't something the Sun made up to fill space.
P.S. 2007 Christmas special totally owns the previous one in terms of quality.
I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed, but I've noticed the Angels on the crimbo ep have a striking resemblence to the robots on the Tom Baker story: "Robots of Death". I mean, they are both servant robots and are both programmed to kill people by some nutter. And they look very similar. Do you think the writers of the crimbo ep got their ideas from 'The Robots of Death"?
I do not remember the Tom Baker story unless it is from the old doctor who as I haven't watched any of those. I really liked the christmas Doctor Who episode with the Angels of Death and their razor sharp killer Halo's. When series 4 out or is Torchwood coming on TV first?
Torchwood's out about halfway through this month!

Considering that's how most robotic villains in Doctor Who work... No.
who knows if the sun is right then rose returns from parralle earth or donna and martha get stuck their
actully what if it's the first of a three part-er to end the series as what may happen is dravros (who we won't realise it's him until the end of the episode) opens the way their to get his daleks back or caan make do it under his comand or caan does it by himself
That would be quite interesting, Davros somehow accessing the void to recover the Daleks, and accidently opening a path for Rose to return to our Earth.. this could tie-in with Torchwood as well. Jack could pick up the spacial distortions and Martha meets the Doctor at the site of the dimensional hole.
I'm really hoping that Davros upgrades the Daleks again, I remember seeing a short feature created on a fan site where the Daleks 'skirts' bursts open and the Dalek starts walking on mechanical spiderlegs. Anyone else?? Yes??
Well, I just be happy to see Davros, and what the writers of today can do with him to make him a real baddie.
Afterall, the last Davros story involved him taking over a school from what I ve heard... 0.o
Quote from: barnabat on December 27, 2007, 00:47

Yeah, I might have explained myself terribly. Okay I did, but I meant from a humans created time so aliens might not know about it thing. But hey, I may be wrong as usual.
I would love to see Davros again. And upgraded Daleks, especially if they have that heavy wepons Dalek again. That would be rather cool.
Mmm but saying humans created time is a troublesome one.
I mean, what about the distinction between, say, the Jurassic period and the Cretaceous? Or the distance of time between the Holocene and the Cambrian periods? We take it for granted that there is a time space between them, yet humans didn't exist, did they?
Measurement of time might exist just because of humans, but we are irrelevant to the passage of time itself.

It was the first doctor's granddaughter's school.
Anyway, I'm not really bothered about Davros. I much prefer the original idea that they were green blobs and turned themselves into Daleks after the nuclear war with the Thals on Skaro. (a bit like the cybermen on Mondas) I did think it was funny though that the doctor kept freezing him all the time.
Does anyone know if the Cybermen are coming back at all?

The Cybermen will definitely be back.. but not necessarily this series! ;)
I personally prefer the Daleks being genetically modified kaleds, turned into war machine's by a crazed genius.. it adds more of a personal touch to the story as that's much more likely to happen on our planet. Plus Davros is an interesting character in his own right - incredibly old & intelligent, much like the Doctor BUT he hasn't remained young.
It's not too often someone matches the Doctor intelligence wise (obviously the Master does) & it's great to see the Doctor caught off guard too.
In reference to the Thal/Kaled nuclear war discussion, Isn't it a melding of the two?
Lest we not forget, that the Kaleds would eventually evolve into the blobs we know and love fear. Ergo, they had their chief scientists, led by Davros, design support machines for the eventual Kaled populous. Unfortunately Davros was completely crackers, and felt that these new Kaleds [read, Daleks] would be the supreme beings of the universe, hence the weaponry and such. Heck, he was so mad that he condemned most of his race to death by revealing to the Thals the code to break down the Kaled Dome's sheild, thus allowing the Thals to win.
But then Davros went and sent some Daleks round to exterminate most of the Thal population. Nice guy.

Well, there happens to be quite a lot of them floating around in the void between the worlds. So I guess if Davros (or the last Dalek) want more Daleks, they'd suck them out of the void and possibly some Cybermen would come as well.
Well, shouldnt be too long before Season 4 now! =D
Seems the Davros rumor keeps getting more and more likely. Apparently, it was reported a Series 4 Action Figure was being produced... o.o

Dont forget, that the cybermen arent just from the parallel earth. Thats only a tiny part of their history. I really want the ones from mondas to come back. That legacy rocked, wheras the parralel earth one kinda sucked. And their is a great possiblity there is some left in the ordinary universe because if their planet travelled across the universe, who knows where they may have gone too and took over. So its not impossible for Russel T Davies to bring them back and how can anyone just dump what storylines have become a major part of dr who's legacy? Its like dumping skaro from the daleks.

I did know that the Cybermen are from Mondas (or Telos, after Mondas went 'splodey), and considering that Van Statten had the head of one of the old Cybermen (in 'Dalek'), they could introduce the our-universe Cybermen. I hope that if they do, they give them more changes than simply spraying them black or something.
I liked the parallel earth origin better, because the Cybermen from there were better than what the classic!Cybermen were, IMO. Yes, 'YOU WILL BE DELETED' was a blah catchphrase, but they were better at giving the impression of an army assimilating everything in its path than the originals were.
On the subject of Davros, it's practically a given that he'll be coming back-he's basically the last one-man-villain (besides the Rani and probably a bunch of others I forgot) that they can resurrect. Plus, there's only one Dalek left in the entire universe (parallel=universe may have some, though), so Davros would be a handy way for them to make more (and thus keep bringing them back in every season ever).
What I'm curious about is how they'll work the Sontarans in in a way so that people recognise them and that they don't seem to be completely random aliens, because despite their status as the third-most popular DW villains of all time, I don't think they're as iconic or memorable as, say, the Daleks or the Master.
I have last episode news!!!!!
In the final episode, Davros will return and also will, Captain Jack, Sarah Jane, Rose Tyler and Jackie Tyler. This is bit of a spoiler but THE DOCTOR IS EXTERMINATED!!!!!!!!
Here are some episode names

3.Planet of the Ood
4.Sontaran Stratagem
8.Silence in The Libary(This is the Steven Moffat's story, the award winning writer who wrote Empy Child/Doctor Dances, Girl in the Fireplace and Blink

The Doctor won't get killed in this series finale. David Tennant is still signed on for some Doctor Who specials next year.
Oh, and the new series starts 5th April. Can't wait!
He is zapped by a dalek. Dunno ,but maybe Doctor Who kept something under their belt for once.

And, all that's pretty old news.
Except the Doctor being exterminated... if that's anywhere, I imagine it's an unverified Sun story.
Haven't seen it around on Outpost Gallifrey, and they're usually pretty up to date on the latest confirmed news.

I agree, that is a lot of comebacks for old characters.. and not all of them welcome. As much as I love the idea of recurring characters, they appear too many times.
I prefer pre-2000 Dr. Who where you very rarely saw any reoccuring characters apart from the Doctor and his companion. I think they need to spend more of the series on the original adventuring concept rather than OVER deveoping relationships.

I saw this in the trailers for Cloverfield a few months back (had cinema showings first). The next series is looking really good. Though I am worried about Rose showing up again.. unless it ends in either the Doctor or Rose dying it could get messy. I'm really ready for a new Doctor.

David Tennant is an awesome Doctor, that's a horrible thing to say.
Im not sure about why companions are advertised. I liked the concept of, for instace, people like Mr Copper (Voyage of the Damned) joining, in that unexpected way. I know he didnt, but if he did, or that pompus rich guy did, would've made my day, instead of them being anounced as usual.
I don't know if Tennant was advertised as the Doctor before Parting of the Ways was broadcast, but that was unexpected.
Ah well, if I pray hard enough, maybe they ll bring back Romana for the 5 series as the new companion. She was quite a cool companion back in the day. :)
Well I have heard things in the past, which include Rose not actually meeting the Doctor...but with Martha and Donna...but not him...
I decided to watch 'Utopia' again today, since I decided to record the whole of the last series (Although I don't have the last one.)
I'll probably delete them all, when this series begins and record them.

loldongs
It's pretty much impossible, seeing as how Tennant has already confirmed that he will already be staying on for Series 5 (which airs in 2010) and the specials that are being shown on three occasions next year.
Also, we have another 3 Doctors to go through until we reach the end of the road (unless he gets an Übereward from the Gallifreyans in the form of 13 more regenerations :D)
However, people saying OMGWANTNEWDOCTOR are pretty silly, imo, because it's just bringing the programme to an end (unless of course, the reasons I explained above are deployed).

Actully, don't we have 4 Doctors to go? He didnt regenerate into the first Doctor from nothing (Least I hope not) so that would mean he's only regenerated 9 times right?

i think he meant there will be a further 3 doctors after tennant. but yes, on his thirteenth he will meet something to make him immortal. or at least last another 40 years, rofl.
What I mean is:
1st Doctor to 2nd Doctor= 1st regeneration
2nd Doctor to 3rd Doctor= 2nd regeneration
3rd Doctor to 4th Doctor= 3rd regeneration
4th Doctor to 5th Doctor= 4th regeneration
5th Doctor to 6th Doctor= 5th regeneration
6th Doctor to 7th Doctor= 6th regeneration
7th Doctor to 8th Doctor= 7th regeneration
8th Doctor to 9th Doctor= 8th regeneration
9th Doctor to 10th Doctor= 9th regeneration
And each time lord has 13 regenerations right? That would mean he has 4 left right?
The 13 regeneration rule is old though, right? They could easily retcon it.

Yes, but then you get angry fanboys shaking fists at the writers for not being faith to the rule.
And I doubt the series can go on forever. They did kill off the rest of the Timelords (Unless they re all in Watches...), the Master, a lot of Daleks, yeah. That seems very climatic.

You are misled. The process a Time Lord goes through to change their body is called Regeneration. "A Time Lord has thirteen lives," says the Eighth Doctor.
You may be wondering why Captain Jack said, "So, this new regeneration... kinda kinky" to describe the Doctor's current form. Well, for one thing, the Doctor did actually explain to him properly so he might have improvising. Russell T Davis needs to be carefully when thing s contradict true statements (ironically, they're known as "paradoxes").

There's a little problem with that. She's probably dead. I've just DWM and someone on the Galaxy Forum thought the character that Sarah Lancashire plays in
Partners in Crime is the Rani.

I think the Master is not truely gone. Russell said and I quote "I had the hand pick up the watch so any further writers do have a good reason to bring back The Master.

Quote from: Snagar on March 25, 2008, 12:01
David Tennant is an awesome Doctor, that's a horrible thing to say.
Im not sure about why companions are advertised. I liked the concept of, for instace, people like Mr Copper (Voyage of the Damned) joining, in that unexpected way. I know he didnt, but if he did, or that pompus rich guy did, would've made my day, instead of them being anounced as usual.
I don't know if Tennant was advertised as the Doctor before Parting of the Ways was broadcast, but that was unexpected.
Whether or not David Tennant is a good Doctor or not is personal opinion - he's my absolutely LEAST favourite Doctor of all time. I know that generally he is liked, so I was trying not to bring up my personal feelings in the last post. *lol* I guess it is horrible to say if you like him.

I know what you mean Lorem, that was why I was REALLY annoyed by Eccleston leaving after just one season. Personally I would have preferred Eccleston to stay for 4/5 seasons and Tennent to have the one. Also thats why it was a bit of a shame that McGann's Doctor never made it to an actual series.
It's a matter of taste really, I don't like Tennant as a Doctor.. that's it really!

That's what I've always been led to believe in regards to the regenerations.. a Doctor has 13 lives/12 regenerations. Though I read in an old annual somewhere that most Time Lords have 12 lives, but the Doctor has an extra life.. though I may be wrong.
I doubt they would retcon such a basic rule of Doctor Who mythology as the amount of lives the Doctor has.. but does anyone remember a little character called the Master? He had used up all his regenerations and YET he was brought back with what appears to be a full set, to fight the timewar.
They coulod always find a way of returning the odd life or two if they want to (such as Gallafrey retunring through a dimensional rift etc, etc).
Oh, I just can't wait for the new series.
I need to get into Doctor Who. I'll watch it more often when the new series comes out. :]

Actually (Using my knowledge from watching old episodes and my latest annual) I can tell you what happened.
All time lords have a MAXIMUM of 12 regenerations. However after the master carelessly using up all of his he transported himself into the body of a Trakenite and began his cycle again. However after the Darlek's executed him the 8th Doctor took his ashes back to Gallifrey. However they transformed into a "blob" and took over an ambulance drive. Finally before we saw him last he was sucked into the Eye of Harmony (the TARDIS's power source) after trying to steal the doctors remaining regenerations (in the doctor who movie) and then when he was brought back he would either of been given 12 new regenerations or kept his old ones left. Either way he has had many more than anyother time lord

Hmm, from watching the movie I thought that the Master was on his last life - therefore he had effectively run out & had been brought back to help fight the timerwar as he was one of the more gifted Time Lords.. unfortunately he was also a coward and transformed himself in order to hide.
But then there are a fair few discrepancies between the movie & series.. such as the decision to make the inside of the (that we see) Tardis smaller.
One other quite interesting fact is that in Scream of the Shalka (which doesn't unfortunately fit into the timeline but WAS a great portrayal of the Doctor), the Master was actually punished by the Time Lords to follow the Doctor as an android companion... that may be how his "personality" was kept alive following the loss of his regenerative abilities.
I didn't think he'd got a full cycle back after he took Tremas' body on Traken.. Just got that body to live in. As far as I know, he didn't get a full cycle of regenerations back, or indeed any regenerations at all, until the Time Lords brought him back from the Eye of Harmony to fight in the Time War.. And that's the cycle we see him passing through in the Jacobi -> Simm regeneration at the end of Utopia. I think.

*Lol* A telepathic / psychic virus.. pretty much the same idea as passing the Doctor's name around at the end of the last season BUT much more deadly due to the easily influenced telepathic Ood.
That may wipe out a planet full of ood.. then again I'm not really in a genocide kind of mood today..
Yeah, but the Doc couldn't wipe out a whole race (Cept maybe the Daleks, which he regrets not doing in Genesis) just like that. Wheres the Ood love?

But meh, I really can't wait for this series. Last ep of Torchwood on the Friday, then Doctor Who on the Saturday.
Just saw another advert today and it has a date and time when it's on
6.20 this Saturday
You UK people are going to be starting your 4th series watching soon. The US didn't get to see season 3 until last July, I think. I missed some of the episodes, so I'm looking forward to watching them all on DVD. I'm finally acquiring them now. Disc 5 of 6 should be on its way in a couple days. Yippeeeeeee.

Anyone seen the Radio Times? They've got a big thing on the new series, with all the episode names.
One is called The Doctor's Daughter. (With the starring actress actually being a daughter of a former Doctor Who)
Speculate away
As I said...
They're not revealing the title of Episode 12, apparently it'd give too much away.
I'm guessing that episode will be a ________ of the Daleks episode. If they wanted to keep that secret, maybe putting them in the advert wasnt the best idea.
Or maybe is completly different. I'm also guessing its got the name of something familiar to old fans or a plot of the episode. Cant wait know. Especially 12 weeks or more knowing the bbc.

BTW, looking at the list in Radio Times it appears that Rose comes back & assists Donna because the Doctor can not, does this mean that she Rose doesn't get to meet up with the Doctor?
Plus does the name of the final episode "Journey's End", point towards a death (Rose/Donna)?

I hope they bring the cybermen back next year and I hope they are the mondasian/telosian cybermen, not the parralell earth thing (they CANT just abandon the mondas cybermen: Their legacy is almost as great as the scaro daleks) because, admittedly, the storlines for parrallel earth cybermen aren't as good as the current universe cybermen.

You have a good point, the storyline for the Parallel Earth Cybermen was a bit simplistic and rushed in my opinion - though it's good that they made it more personal (making them out of us).
How about the 2 breeds of Cybermen joining up? One can be the silver team & one can be the GOLD team.. *chuckles*
Ah, the Pete's World Cybermen had their moments. That guy from Only Fools and Horses whos name I forgotten and played their creator, was a bloody brilliant villain....
...and then they had to ruin him by making him a Cyberman... T.T
You mean Roger Lloyd-Pack/John Lumic?
He's from the Vicar of Dibley as well.
Lumic was a bit over-hammed for what was meant to be quite a dark/sinister episode, I thought.
I can't remember whether he really said "FROM BEYOND THE GRAAAVE!", or if it's just apocryphal.
There's been a lot of rumours flying around this exclusive Doctor Who that I'm a part of that Episode 12 is called The Rise of Davros. Anyway, I loking forward to Moffat's double parter.
An hour to go people! =D
I can't wait! The monsters in this episode are called the apidose. Sarah Lancashire plays Miss Foster, an evil nanny, in this ep. I'll try to get a picture of the apidose.
I am very bored of waiting.

Pretty good start. The only complain was the aliens look like rejects from a CBeebies show, but still.

and they waved.. daww <3
they were awesome.. all those people on the street being scared and just watching them leave were idiots.. i'd have nicked one and called it Filbert
Wheeeee!
Ahhh, that was fantastic, as Nine would say.
Really enjoyed that episode, re-introduced Donna well. It was one of the better series-openers, on a par with last year's, I think. Judoon Platoon.. on the mooon.. Yeah.
Miss Foster was an excellent 'villain', Sarah Lancashire played her wonderfully, she seemed to be enjoying it. The adipose looked 'cute' and Cbeebies-esque, sure, but wasn't that the point? They weren't meant to be threatening. It was a light, fun episode.
Yeah, more on that. There were some great 'comedy moments', like the mouthed conversation through the windows, and the shot pulling out to reveal everyone in the office watching. And Miss Foster's Looney Tunes style death was fun. Oh, and Grandad Wilf, he was played brilliantly by Bernard Cribbins, especially in the closing moments as they flew off - and he clearly recognised The Doctor from Voyage of the Damned.
Great stuff.
Oh, and..
Rose!!!!!
We all knew she was coming back, but who expected her that early? Why'd she look so sad.. and, wow, she can fade in and out!
Fantastic. 8/10.
tbh I thought it was rubbish =P
All just a bit boring, boring villain,plot that lacked entertainment, and Catherine Tate more annoying than ever.
I actually got bored and did something else =P Which is unusual because I normally am a big doctor who fan =P
and whats with the tardis flying around and stuff and the door opening..pfft that should never actually happen....this is where they start to change and ruin doctor who imo.
but,ya know, all a matter of opinion
I didn't think it was fantastic either...
They're running out of plot ideas.
Remember that this was a first episode, concerned with establishing relationships and setting up arcs for the remainder of the series.
The plot in this episode is secondary to that. I think we can expect fantastic plot ideas this series.
(especially with a Moffat two-parter! :D)
I saw it last night and I thought it was a brilliant start for the new series
Ew.. the whole fat-wrenching-away-from-your-body-and-walking-off thing was kinda creepy to me xD Although they were bizarrely cute. Yes, it was a nice non-dramatic first episode, lovely start to the series.
The bit at the beginning where The Doctor and Donna kept missing each other was brilliant, and the little conversation across the office. And when The Doctor said "Unless she has a sonic device, too, which I highly doubt" or something.. you just knew she was going to xD
It'll be nice and refreshing to have an assistant who DOESN'T fancy The Doctor. And it was nice to hear that he finally appreciates Martha.
But really.. when Donna was talking to a blonde girl who resolutely kept her face turned away from the camera at first, it was so going to be Rose. Although I am surprised it's so early in the series.
So I take it Rose ll be this series's equivalent to Bad Wolf, Torchwood and Mr Saxon then?

She could be spotted all over time and space. By people who won't reconisge her.
It was more like the older episodes because the villain was a humanoid.
Fires of Pompeii has rock monsters! And witches with eyes on their hands!
EDIT:
I've just thought of a rating system! We rate them using monsters! The scarier the monsters are, the better the episodes are! So Adipose are a terrible episode and Weeping Angels are absolutely amazing episodes. Ok it could be flawed but it's unique? Isn't it?
Unique.. and utterly ridiculous.
Besides, moral ambiguity's the key thing with this episode's antagonists.

Like, not really clear whether they're good or bad.. Just doing what they do for the reasons they do them. I mean, Miss Foster thought she was just doing her job. There was a good end, even via less than savoury means. And the Adipose weren't evil, were they - as the Doctor said, they couldn't help where they came from. So what I meant was, the 'villains' aren't really all good or all bad.. or really villains at all. It was ambiguous.

I guess... and I wouldn't complain about that. ;)
But you don't know what we might have missed.. after all, how many times did we really pick up on it saying 'Bad Wolf' until it was spelt out for us in Boom Town?
RTD has said that there are no arch-words for this series, but somethying that will come together in the final episodes. He said something about the Medusa Cascade.
He said it has to do with something the Master said at the end of the last series.
And he did mention the rift at Medusa Cascade.

I noticed Bad Wolf way before Boom Town.
I seem to be the only one out of my friends who likes Rose for some reason (The ones who watch this anyways) They think both Martha and Donna are better. Meh, opinion I suppose.
Anyways, I don't understand how Donna was speaking to her, I thought she was trapped in the parallel world? But then I thought, her fading away and no one noticing could possibly mean she is some sort of spirit or something. I'm somewhat intrigued now. XD
What was THAT? Adipose? Erm, IMO, that was a BAD opening episode.
Episode 7 sounds promising. Giant wasps! And ep3 for Ood.
Is there an episode by that guy who wrote The Empty Child and Blink this time round? Hope so, they were both amazing. Girl in the Fireplace was alright I guess.

Steven Moffat's double parter is later in the series, the names are Silence in the Libary and River Run's. Girl in the Fireplace won an award. The same director though who did Girl in the Fireplace will be directing the Moffat double parter.

But.. they aren't monsters. If there's any villain at all, it's Miss Foster.

See my edit above for my answer..
They weren't monsters, they were Adipose children. There 'breeding' planet had been lost, but Miss Foster knew that breeding on a class 5 planet was illegal under the darkness thing, but ignored it, and Stacey died of a result.

Exactly! Why do people think every episode needs some horrendous, hideous alien monster to make it valid/good television?

Hmm, well I don't think so really. After all, we're made partly of fat! And as I said, they aren't the villains/monsters of the story.. It's not like they're in the same role as the Werewolf in Tooth and Claw.
And we've had 'silly' before.. the Slitheen, the Azorbaloff, et cetera.
Some of the most interesting stories are often those with ambiguous villains. I mean, ones that aren't just all "BLAH I'm going to take over/destroy the world!!". Like, Girl in the Fireplace, or Gridlock.
I think the Adipose episode was more about the story than the monster itself & was more of a commentary on our 'quickfix' culture than the usual 'meet monster, find weakness, beat monster' episode.
Remembering that whathever monster/creature that the Doctor & Donna came across in the first episode was ALWAYS going to come second to their actual meeting I think they made a smart choice.
I think anyone that watches Dr Who for the monsters was dissapointed, those who like the story would have been excited. I love the first episode.. they got more quality into that 1 episode than the entire run of Torchwood.
Fires of Pompeii News!!! The things with eyes on their hands that creepily remind me of the Carrionites are called the Pyroville but then The Doctor has a dilemma. Stop the Pyroville and save Pompeii from the volcano, but break a law in time and bring out the Reapers or let the Pyroville destroy Pompeii with their rock beasts?
One word BRILLIANT
my friend D.w said:
The new Dr who rules but isnt as good as the old one(a.k.a David Tennant) (i think thats how you spell it, not a good speller)
she hasnt seen the new ones yet but is busting to see them and she thinks the Dr is kinda cute, and wants to KISS him
she said all that in my T & D class
I THINK IM GONNA HURRLE :wacko: :unsure:
Tonight's ep was quite good, story and monster wise.
The Ood next week, they were weird last time XD
Tonight's episode was very, very good.
I think the Vesuvius eruption sequence was good: "Vesuvius was never meant to erupt. It was me. I killed 20,00 people..."
Tonight's episode was awesome and the monsters were brilliant looking forward to next week's episode with ood in
I hate time language. It does my head in.
But I thought the whole plot was mint!
I loved tonights episode. "What hapens if I say somethiing in Latin?" "I don't know." "I'll try it!" Is she Celtic?
I missed tonight's episode due to my friend getting Mario Kart Wii~. I'll see it tomorrow though. ^^

Verrrrrrrry good. Nice to see the "not so happy" side of changing events in time. Got a nice suprice when that guy said "man from Galifray".
So thats 2 planets lost in 2 episodes. How odd.
I rather liked that. My dad thought it was Davros behind the curtain. Poor fellow.

Thats nothing! I keep thinking the guy who plays Phil Mitchall's going to be Davros XD XD XD
I actually thought it was the gorgon from the Sarah Jane Adventures. Man was I wrong. I was right about the Pyreviles. I call them Juggernauts still.
Good refferal to old series. "I didn't have anything to do with that fire." And Dona's TK Maximus gag. Good monsters and attacking a Pyroville with a water gun. Top Laughs. Great action. Doctor Who is back!
Wow, the second episode in and it was AMAZING!! And... I' embarressed to admit it.. but Tennant (spit) did a great job in that episode!
If he manages to do a few more great episodes like that without gurning I could start to like his Doctor.
The feel of the episode was just right, and the fact they put the Doctor into such a well thought out no-win situation was a stoke of geniusesque (almost genius). Though the fact that the Doctor couldn't just point out to Donna that she'd cease to exist if he saved Pompeii did make me wonder..
Anyway, the monster.. is it more or did that look like the most amazing DIGIMON you'd ever seen?

Yes... David Bowie playing Davros.. not proved wrong yet, but it's only a matter of time.
I'm placing my bet on another return from the Master.
Can I just ask? Is this series going to be full of hints at Rose returning,
1st we see her in the 1st episode, then that seer guy saying "she is returning" it's just going to get annyoing if it is she get back for the last 3 episodes thats 11,12&13 and we've had two episodes both with hints in
Its the equallient of Bad Wolf, Torchwood and Mr Saxon fron the last 3 Seasons, so yes.
This week, expect an Ood wearing a Rose wig... XD

*lol* Tennant at one point I remember, toshed the rumours he was going to be the Doctor... but I tend to take ANYTHING the Sun says with a pinch of salt, their apologies are starting to require their own page at the back of the paper (where they hide them).
I though you said Bowie was going to be UNICRON when I read it first time!! That's be an amazing win for the next Transformers movie!
Then again at one point the Sun said that Tennent was going to retire from being the Doctor halfway through this series.

Apparently they are shooting a Christmas Special of Doctor Who.... The Cybermen are Back and yes it's those crappy Cybus industries one.
But there are slightly different from those, different head clamps, on was seen in a Cemetry where they have been filming, with a Cloak, however there is another companion for The Doctor in this one, also spotted on a caravan's door there beside the other actors is The Other Doctor......
awwww... i almost cried watching that =c
Ood are too damn sweet for their own good <3
bless em..
awesome episode..
meep..
What a great episode with the odd tonight
That was brillient! I now officially love the ood. There way of justice is great: turn your enemies into ood. Great revolting stuff there!
Although, i have to ask, when that man was jumped on, was he tentacled to death?
At last, a proper other planet episode! Took you awhile BBC!
Pretty good episode, its nice they brought the Ood back, because they were kind of overshadowed by the promise of the Devil last time. Nice little twist with the brains and the circle, though I would of made the giant brain a little different to a human one. I think there's potential in the Ood and I hope they become a regular alien/villain. Okay, they re not evil, but they can be pretty cool when they kill and put on those red eyes.
Yeah, another good episode. Series 4 is on a run at the mo. :)
nooo =c
no more villainising the Ood.. just have an episode where they get lots of hugs.
well.. i'd watch it...
oooh, i loved the snow too.. forgot to menchon that.. such a pretty planet.. would be such a lovely place if it hadn't been for those people =c
mmm

omg, the ood scared me! they seriously creep me out *shudders* i'm going to have nightmares tonight lol
The free Ood make me see Ood in a whole new light... great episode.
Another great episode.. seriously I was startign to waver during the last series as some of the casting & sets were a bit shoddy... but this was series has so far REALLY kicked up the pace!!
Apart from the fact that I recognised the walkway in Warehouse 15 as part of Red Dwarf's Starbug set (used in Psirens)... everything felt right.
Not sure about the ending though, the manager becoming an ood.. there is cheese & there is RIPE cheese.. *lol*
That was a very good episode. And yes, another planet at last. =p The Ood were awesome, and I really felt sorry for them for a bunch of it, especially seeing the untampered Ood in the cell, singing. Twas so sad. I thought that the guy was turning into an Ood from what was happening to him...
So do all Ood originate from human's...or was that just him. =p
Also, an interesting end with the mention of the Doctor's song coming to an end...
Also, another crying episode of Donna. We do see another side to Catherine Tate's acting in Doctor Who, though we get both sides as well. "Why'd you call me miss? Do I look single?" xD
Next episode looks good with the Sontarans and Martha. =]
I thought that was an good episode.. Catherine Tate is brilliant as Doctor Who's sidekick and I really hate Martha, so I'm unhappy to see her back next episode D:
But Rose appears for a few episodes later on this season, so its not all bad ^^
I liked how they did the Ood transformation effectively whilst being sensitive to easily sickened viewers. I have a weak stomach, so when I realised what was going on, I thought "Oh god, please no, going to be sick." I cringed a little at the skin being pulled off but that was it. Bravo, Keith Temple, at an effective yet sensitive sticky end.
I did so much laughing though at the sneeze. It's not everyday that someone sneezes their brains out.
And absolutely loving the Homer Simpson reference. D'OH!

Brilliant! This is the best ep so far! Ood!
I missed any previous episodes with the Ood in... so this one felt a bit weird to me. I thought it was really good though, do you think red eye is a reference to pink eye?
The reason why the guy turned into an Ood is because of the Ood elixir he was given. As the Doctor said: "It comes out of the slaves as service, the red-eyes as anger... and out of the natural borns as patience..."

That's what I've been thinking about, and I immediately thought of that Rose song, even a part of it was playing when they said that.
Still, good ep though I prefer evil Ood
I have a theory about the ending of the the Ood episode, when it made the remark about the Doctor's song coming to an end...
Basically, the Ood's song was about their suffering in captivity. I see it as the Doctor's song is about the sadness and pain of losing Rose. Meaning what the Ood said, meant that his song of pain and suffering was coming to and end... Rose's return. =p

The episode was quite good... I liked it... poor Ood :<
Did see the "evil slave trade" theme approaching before it happened, though... suppose with the ood that's pretty predictable. Good to see them again, though : D
Glad that the translation orb... things were explained.
The giant brain made me laugh, though, and the person falling into it. Silly x3
Why is it always red eyes? Why not blue eyes? There are too many red eyes = evil things floating around.
I really like Donna... nice to have someone who's more outspoken and brash... and amusing like that : D
And asking questions that I've wondered about.. in the last episode, anyway.

Well, as long as it wasn't Sylverster McCoy's meeting with Davros (LIE). Actually McCoy didn't really get a fair shot at being the Doctor.. his characterisation was good BUT the quality of the scripts had declined (Burtie Bassett liqourice monster anyone??).
The referance to the 'Doctor's song coming to an end' could be translated a lot of ways, if you look at his song as being his travels.. he could get locked into Earth again.. though I doubt it (no other Timelords to do it).
I got some future ep news. Silence in the Library's monster will be the Shadow. I think they were briefly mentioned in Love and Monsters. There is a rumour the Judoon will be this series' finale. Sarah Jane will be returning as The Sarah Jane adventures were the most popular kids' programme of 2007 and 5th of 21st Century. Martha Jones is returning for the finale(May not be true)
Judoon and Daleks? Didnt an interspecies fight result badly last time...
Oh wait, they may be hired to find naughty Caan or Davros. At least i think thats what they're supposed to do.

Oh, god I hope not. That show is an abomination and Sarah Jane herself is just an annoying woman who keeps coming back >.>
I don't think RTD realizes that she's just one of a long line of assistants- she isn't special enough to warrant her continued appearances on the show.
Nice cliffhanger, can't wait till next week ^^
The Sontaran one was quite good. The nostalgia of Jon Pertwee's early shows with UNIT was clearly present. I was a little disappointed with the sat nav idea, though the Doctor's survival from the jeep was clever. I also liked how he gave away all the Sontaran secrets, i.e. how to kill them etc, though I expect with the helmets off those potato heads, which was a quote my friend guessed would be mentioned, would be pretty prone to bullets. What is this gun-jamming technology they have? Now they kinda ruined a battle sequence, unless UNIT pikey their laser guns.
I guess it was lucky that there was a racket and ball lying around for him the get past the Sontaran with. o.O'
It was a good episode, and a nice return for Martha. Interesting though in how she was linked to Unit, as a Doctor. Seems like some lack of relation...and slighty...un-Martha like. =p
It was a well written, well acted but it was missing somehting, it dosn't have the humane side of the doctor though adimittedly this may come in next week.

Didnt see this week's ep yesterday thanks to the brat, so I saw it today. Veeeeeery interesting. Sontarans were pretty good. Love the whole weakness thing explaining why they face their enemies head on. Quite the dark opening and Cliffhanger (Cars that kill people by gassing them? Didnt think that was allowed). The Sontaran war dance was not bad, kinda reminded me of the Newzeland Rugby Dance thingy.
Looking forward to next week. :)
Brilliant! Evil Sat Nav! Sontarans! Can't wait for the Poison Sky!

Next week's should be very interesting
Was it only me and LT who saw Rose on the screen?

Indeed. I must say, that was a very good episode, as the two-parters normally are. Great acting on all parts, and the story fitted together really well.
Anyone else see Rose on the screen? It was only for a second.
The next episode looks really interesting, and I'll be looking foreward to seeing it, certainly. I just hope they come up with a good reason for The Doctor having a daughter. I hate seeing things that are done badly, but effect Doctor Who in general, not just that series. Maybe she's not even his daughter... =p

The doctor's granddaughter was the first assistant ever, so for him to have a granddaughter, he had to have a daughter/son...
Anyway, he told Rose he was a father back in series 1 or 2 iirc.

She was created from his DNA or something. It was mentioned in an interview I think, and it's on the Wikipedia page for the episode.
'The Poison Sky' was easily one of the most epic episodes yet. I loved it, especially Skorr's death. Loved 'The Empty Child' gasmask reference, and the Doctor's mention of the Brigadeer. :'3 Aw. He's still alive and kicking after all! "He's in Peru."
Oh yeah, I laughed for a minute or so after the Doctor came out with "Are you my mummy?"
Quote from: Hinamori Momo on May 03, 2008, 20:29

Agreed, probably the funniest moment I've seen on Dr Who in a long time.
Must be the first time they've referenced a new series episode for humor in such a way, as opposed to the old series. The Valiant returning was also nice to see, since it changes it from a single episode plot-device to something actually within the continuity.

Wasn't surprised, remember the 2012 olympic episode?(sorry cant remember the name but it was in the 2nd series) There was a line where rose said something like kids are so annoying(something like that).And the doctor said: I was a father once. Rose wanted to ask more about it but then he disapeared and dropped that device thingy
It's not the fact he has a daughter that shocked me (I knew about his granddaughter and everything) but. If you think about it. The docter is 1/2 timelord 1/2 human. So if she is his biological daughter she is at least 1/4 timelord or 3/4 at most. And she must have considerable technology to pull the tardis into flight. Like when the Darleks used the transmat to pull them out of the tardis. The only other time the tardis has been "pulled" into flight in the last 4 series was with the heuon particles. All the other times it was teleported. Finally. Seeing as she hasn't been in a single episode I don't think, the only way that he would be able to recognise her would be the timelord recognision thing unless he's kept contact with her before but that would mean he thought she died.

Either way it means that if she is his biological daughter she is part timelord.

She was created from his DNA
There are a few differant ways that she could be his daughter of course...
1) She was created using the DNA from his severed hand (possibly why it's bubbling away at the end of the last episode).
2) He had sweet lovin' while he was disguised as a human on another occasion.
3) The Doctor has also had a female Timelord as a companion in the past, perhaps his daughter is COMPLETELY Galifreian??
4) She was adopted after he saved her from an incident.
- The fact that she appears to have above human abilities points to a genetic/breeding connecton to the Doctor.
The Doctor could have done a lot of stuff before we saw him in An Unearthly Child. And I mean a lot of Stuff. Liked the Empty Child reference, Liked the conversation between Staal and The Doctor "Thank God you didn't say Belittled or I would have had a field day." Jaw dropped with Rose appearing on the screen, was she mouthing Doctor? Noble Sacrifice by Rattigan. One more thing, Sontar Ha!
Quote from: 1794mew on May 04, 2008, 18:04

Interesting question, but does the fact that you are from Galifrey/the child of a Timelord.. mean you are a Timelord yourself? From watching the episodes revolving around the Master last series, it would appear that you start off as a regular Galifreian, and then go through an initiation process before becoming a Timelord.
If this was the case it could mean that the Doctor's daughter if she is a bioliogical child is part Galifreian, but not a Timelord (Timelady?).
Come to think of it, how do Timelords breed? 0.o

2 words about Doctor who 'hate it' my friend loves it ARH!
Davaros confirmed? Warning spoilers (http://youtube.com/watch?v=J14NOmZweVg)
It makes perfect sense that the doctor would have a son/daughter seeming as back in the 1960s he had a granddaughter called Susan. So his daughter would have to appear sooner or later.

So no. How the hell does it confirm anything? It's just speculation and pictures from previous episodes.
Yes but they always have to record very early, they recorded episode 1 of series three the summeer before it started.

Well, all I have to say about that trailor is that most of it was made of stills pulled from the BBC Website & almost all the word segments are really badly spelled. Plus the Davros picture is taken from Colin Baker's series!
*lol* Season 4 finished filming this year, I ver much doubt they filmed the end of the season THAT far in advance of the reast of the season.
I hear the Series finale is always filmed last. And with all the stuff thats been heard and hinted, I m sure Mr D will show up

They may have filmed multiple endings.. one with Davros & one with the 'Green Cross Code robot'.
I know which one I'll be scared of... "LOOK LEFT!!! LOOK RIGHT!! EXTERMINATE AND CROSS THE ROAD!!"
lol! I love to see that happen.
Made out of his DNA. There. I told you all, you ignorant jerks. D<
I liked this episode. The ending was bizarre, but eh.
No Rose appearance in this one, but she was mentioned, I think. Breath of life? Reference to their god as a female? Plus the actual 'breath' we see later looks a lot like the TARDIS breath Rose used in season 1.

Shes a timelord (lady)
Think the may meet up in the future?
Well, that was good. The Hath were a bit strange looking, but not too bad.
And I really hope they bring Jenny back one day. She'd make a great regular character ;). Or even just a recurring one.
She's got a good sense of humour.
Also, the final scene could have been a regeneration. Time ladies have better control over their regeneration, so Jenny could have chosen to regenerate into her old body, but with a very slight difference.

Quote from: Mushroom on May 10, 2008, 20:27
Jenny flying off... spinoff?
Not another one!
Bit of a wishy washy ep this week for me. Didnt like the aliens, they looked terrible and the bubble language seemed a bit silly. Didnt quite get into the Doctor's Daughter to be honest.
Ah well, next week looks more promising...
I thought it was a good one tonight, the aliens were cool.
You know what I really want?
The Doctor to get rid of his other assistants (Donna, Martha and Rose when she comes back)
Him to get a male assistant that isn't Captain Jack
Jenny to come back as a new female assistant.
I thought Jenny was awesome, and there seemed to be a great chemistry between her and The Doctor. I'd love to see her learning about the universe with her "father", and him teaching her the ways of the time lords.
I really thought this episode was about Susan's mother. I actually hoped that they would acknowledge that she is still alive. But it seemed OK, except when she didn't go with him. Jenny and Sally Sparrow would be preferred over the current companions, although Catt Tate isnt as bad as we thought she'd be, and for once no fancying the Doctor.
Phil has his theories on Jenny.
But! Phil also has his crush; I thought this was a fantastic episode, really. Loved Georgia Moffett and hope to see her again this series. And again, Phil has his theories ... and yes, I know their sense of danger was limited and yes, I know the whole thing with the Hath and Martha wasn't very engaging ... but Georgia Moffett!
Yeah ...
Well, I thought Jenny (Genni?) was going to be created using the genes from the Doctor's spare hand.. but other than that, another win for me!
*lol* I liked this episode, when you consider how lonely the Doctor is & how much he's lost in his past the ending was an absolute emotional treat... though you may have to have suffered a little in your life to appreciate it.
My only quible is that they didn't need almost ANY of the Hath scenes.. to be honest I wanted more interaction between the Doctor, Donna & Jenny as this was the real meat of the episode. It felt to squeezed in with that Hath nonsense.
As for Jenny 'regenerating' at the end of the episode I was almost in tears saying "YOU B******'S I DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE GOING TOO... THANK JEEBUS". As I said, I got into it. I hope it's more a new loose end & not a spinoff. Jenni Who? Nurse Who? Who cares! XD
I actually quite liked the Hath, scenes, they're what the Doctor Who series is there for... its not a soap opera, its a sci-fi/fantasy series, so it was good to see some new aliens there. And to be honest, I was a bit disappointed that the Doctor's "daughter" regenerated as such at the end... although it'll be good to see how she features towards the climax of the series.
Loads of DWM readers think the Rani's gonna feature in the fianle. Bah. But I worked out the murderer! Knew it soon as I knew the butler was proven not to be it.
I sure hope that that episode was a jokey one. I wasn't that impressed with the large wasp... originality out the window? Using the magnifying glass to injure it as well seemed a bit too conveinient.
Meh. But its entertainment though.
Does anybody have the link for the latest doctor who episode on BBC i-player because i was unlucky and did'nt get home in time for it.
I don't think that it has been put up yet. I've looked, but it doesn't appear to be there.
I thought it was a very good episode, and enjoyed it. It was an excellent plot, and well acted as usual. When the first murder happened before the titles, I was saying 'The Wasp, with the Iron pole, Prof Peach, in the Library' in reference to Cluedo... Then Lol'ed when Donna said it later.
Next weeks looks a but random...

Didn't they already do a giant wasp thing on the second series of The Demon Headmaster?

HA
HA
I TOLD YOU ALL AND NOW IT'S COME TRUE
HAHAHA 8DDDD
Seriously, I said it so many times before, and this is so awesome. MOFFAT. AS HEAD WRITER. SEASON 5 IS GOING TO BE HEAVEN.
Think about it - almost every episode of the season will be The Empty Child-quality, there'll be no needlessly-sappy romance stories, no ridiculous first episodes, and best of all, less DoctorxRose music videos on YouTube!
Good riddance, RTD, you jerk.
I don't think RTD deserves all the criticism he gets. He has wrote some great stories like Utopia and Voyage of the Damned, He'll be missed but I can't wait forbrilliant Moffat.
Quote from: FaFniR on May 21, 2008, 23:23Think about it - almost every episode of the season will be The Empty Child-quality
You think? Moffat is merely the showrunner - other writers will still be writing for the show. If he follows Russell's pattern, then he'll be writing the first episode, the final two-parter, the Christmas special and one or two others every year. That leaves at least eight episodes a year for others to write.
And even if that WASN'T the case - bear in mind that Moffat has, in four years, only written six episodes (including two we haven't seen yet). By contrast, Russell has written twenty-six in the same period, and three of those were extra-long Christmas specials. Even if we accept that all Moffat's episodes are better than all of Russell's (an opinion I certainly don't share), there's an enormous difference between writing a single strong episode that generally has little relation to the rest of the series and writing six to eight important episodes a year.
I have faith in Moffat, certainly, but don't expect every episode to be up to the standard of
The Empty Child, because that episode's an exception, and probably not the rule.
Quotethere'll be no needlessly-sappy romance stories,
Did you not see
The Girl in the Fireplace? If anything, Moffat is MORE guilty of sappy romance than Russell is. Check out Coupling and Jekyll if you get a chance. Moffat's work is FULL of romance.
Quoteno ridiculous first episodes,
Again, it's unlikely that Moffat's first episodes will be radically different to Russell's. They're bound to be different in style, but Moffat's been very vocal about his admiration for Russell's work, so don't be too surprised if he keeps the Big, Bold and Fun format of season openers.
Quoteand best of all, less DoctorxRose music videos on YouTube!
Thing is, shipping is an enormous part of fandom these days. Pokémon's a good example - plenty of Ash-Misty shippers, not to mention Misty-Brock, Jessie-James, and pretty much any other pairing you can think of. It's probably a safe bet that Moffat's Doctor-companion pairing will generate a great many shippers, because romantic lead characters make the show more popular.
The Empty Child and
The Doctor Dances is full of shipping - Rose/Jack, Rose/Doctor, Jack/Doctor.
The Girl in the Fireplace is a love story, as is
Blink.
QuoteGood riddance, RTD, you jerk.
I'm sure I don't need to mention that without Russell, the show wouldn't be back, and Moffat wouldn't be taking over ...
They ve released a trailer for the rest of the series.
Possible Spoilers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KPqlscQ-LI)
OMG, at the 47 seconds part! =D
I think my heart nearly just stopped at who was at 47 seconds. I am in a state of hysteria. Mwa ha~!
Good to see the Doctor is happy about Rose XD
Hmm... it appears as if that blue eye signals the return of *shot*

The sonic thing that the astronaut librarian was wearing looks like Cpt. Jack's device.

A trip to Milliway's, perhaps?
yep.
The show scared the living daylights out of me! The faces and the messages...this is the show to end all shows!
the book that the woman got...it got the same imprint of the TARDIS!
^Mm... noticed the tardis book... think that's why the Doctor picked it up.
This was a really... abstract... off-the wall episode... which is why I like it : D
Plus the fact of a library planet is just fantastic...
I'm interested in the whole thing with the girl... could she be "Cal"? The psychiatrist/doctor person must have something to do with it... and Donna?
Eep, first episode I've really enjoyed in quite a while.
Pretty epic, if you ask me.
Does anyone know who wrote that episode? I missed it.
Donna Noble has left the library, Donna Noble has been saved.
Umm, WHO THE HECK IS THAT WOMAN. And what kind of name is River Song?
It's Steven. The guy that everyone was talking about in the last page.

I meant the River Song person, the person with the tardis book.
I think,as well as my dad, think that she came from the future and meet the Doctor. But she asked too soon and they seen each other too early.

That's what was said in the episode
The psychiatrist was from UNIT, wasn't he?
oh my God I am not going to sleep without the light on tonight D:
"They're the dust in sunbeams".. D:
Yus, I noticed the TARDIS book.. I wonder who River Song will be? I'm guessing, though, that we'll never see her character actually meet the Doctor.. she says she saw him when he was much older. Many regenerations away.. by the time we get to that point, the actress will have aged =[ unless we see her as a younger woman?
Or maybe.. the child screaming "YOU MUSTN'T TELL".. so it's of some significance in the present story. Hmn.
Admittedly it was a bit haphazard, they were in and out of shadows all the time.. but what a brilliant episode. I cried when that poor girl was ghosting.. ;_;
"Proper Dave" and "Other Dave" made me laugh.. yes.
Cal is the girl maybe? Although it doesn't sound like a girl's name, Cal is normally short for "Callum". That little girl is very bizarre.. why is the library in her head?
I had a lightbulb moment when the statue kept saying "Donna Noble has been saved".. all those people were saved but there were no survivors? Aaah. It clicked.
Being someone who is very afraid of the dark, though, I found that a very scary episode =[
River Song significance:
Planet of the Ood quote: "I fear your song must end soon."
AHUR 8D
Ooh, odds on River Song being the seer girl from the future?
The little girl must be the library itself! she was the camera and she also said that the library is breached. She must be CAL. Also Dr.moon, WHO THE FRAG WOULD SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT!?!?!?! unless he knows what is going on and maybe even planned it!
Quote from: Lorem Ipsum on May 31, 2008, 21:32
Ooh, odds on River Song being the seer girl from the future?
I wondered about this, but isn't she in modern-day time? And isn't the library hundreds of years in the future?
Curious too that Donna had some significance to River Song.. at first I wondered if they were somehow magically the same person, but if they were River would surely have known who she was and not had to ask. Many questions! D:
Those machienes were horrible D=
not bothered about that shadows eating my flesh.. but i'd like to at least be properly 100% dead afterwards <<0
theres just no need for it.. its just a horrible experiance for everyone involved.. you get to be dead, blind, scared, confused and slowly loseing your ability to think.. everyone around you gets terrified that your remains are talking to them.. and sounding reasonably confused and distressed.. and then your last words are repetative drivel <<0
good episode, left me nice and confused.. can't wait till next week.. yus.
^ Mmmm...I was a little unnerved and confused by that.. does that mean that the people are somehow linked into those machines? o.o;
Absolutely brilliant ep. Can't wait for next week.
When the statuee thing said Donna has been saved, I think that the little girl *may* have transported her to her own realm/reality?
NU DUN DIE DONNA >:
T'was indeed a fabulous episode, the best one this season, methinks.
I don't think Donna's dead, because I'm fairly sure she was in the groovy trailer that someone linked.
As for the Nacromovada or whatever they were...the trailer hinted at 'the darkness' as being the pivotal evil thing, but it seems they were just mixing and matching to make a really cool trailer. Moral of the story - don't listen to trailers.
As for that woman, River Song...it seems a bit...odd, that the Doctor can meet someone that his future self has already met. It also poses the question - why is she not with the future doctor anymore?
The whole thing what dr. moon was saying about reality and the 'nightmare world' - you don't think it could be a reference to the Void, do you? Perhaps it's a prelude to explaining how Rose comes back into this universe. :S
"Hey, who turned out the lights?" <---Cracked me up.
Great episode. ^_^ Roll on next week!
Have to say actually, that does annoy me..
how he can meet people who've known him for years but that he hasn't met yet.. and he can go back in time and meet famous dead people.. but when someone he knows dies, its like.. they are wiped from all history and he can not possibly ever see them ever again..
and all the time lords that died.. there were loads of them.. traveling all through time and space.. and then they die.. and they don't exist in any time and nothing they did ever happened, near enough.
though that might have been explained, its not like i'v watched all the old series..
dunno.. my mind hurts, heh
Go Moffat! I was chilled to the core and have only been that scared with Blink.I thought River Song is that little girl. I think Dr. Moon might be a time agent.
Perhaps Captain John Hart might make an appearence.
Also, remember in the Shakespeare Code, at the end when Queen Lizzy 1st chases him?
Tennant is staying on after this series, that's why they're prosponing the series till 2010, when Tennat will be free to play the Doctor again.
How would River Song be able to tell the Tenth Doctor from a future incarnation unless she was a TimeLord?
I did like the idea about some shadows are ok but some ain't.
In Blink, there were serious mistakes, like the statues in stone form behind Sally, dispite no-one looking at them. And why they didn't "kill" Sally when she got the key. And when they were in the TARDIS who was looking at the Angels to make them statues?
Moffat has seriously done a good job this time. And isn't a million million a trillion?
Million: 1,000,000
Billion: 1,000,000,000
Trillion: 1,000,000,000,000
I enjoyed it. Had to watch on iplayer as I missed it live.
Thinking about it, with Moffat being the new Head Writer, River Song could be a new companion.
my Friends says River song is the Doctors wife.
think about it the first doctor travelled with his granddaughter.
Sorry if someone has already brought this forward, I can't be bothered to read any other posts.
I think that when it said "4022 people saved, 0 survived", it meant they were saved as data-files. That's why the robots use their faces. And the same has happened to Donna. All caused by a faulty teleportation device.
This episode was amazing. It actually scared me, and I want to watch the next one ASAP.
It's been mentioned =]

Which confused me because these monster things were meant to be like.. the size of dust particles.. but the swarms were big enough to fill and maneouver a suit. Filling the entire library, the entire planet, there would surely be many more than a million million? Isn't that about.. one bug thing for every seven people on Earth.

Yeah... the doctor said that after a million million, the computer "gives up". So there could be more than that... it just wouldn't show.
You think that it'd at least go to 9 999 999 999 999, but hey~

Hullo? Anyone care to theorize on this?
I think River Song is linked to Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead and little else.
Hmn, possibly. If she's so close to the Doctor she could indeed be "his Song", and the Ood couldn't really have meant the Doctor's life or anything because, as River says, he's got a lot more reincarnations to get through. So it's plausible, imo.
he hasnt got a lot more though really.. only 3 more bodies n then that it. to be fair though, huge fan that i am ive missed most episodes for this season because of being at work.. to be honest im not as keen on the new stuf as i used to be though because the keep comin out with stuff that really contradicts stuff from the older episodes.. sorta like the writers think theyve started from scratch and its Dr Who 2 or something..
I think that after the doctor "loses" the rest of his lifes...Jenny(i think that's her name..) will take over and slap bang, you still got the doctor!
Easily the best episode of the series. The story line is fantastic, and I love the unknown connection between the Doctor and River Song. Very interesting indeed... 'Wibbly Wobbly, Timey Wimey!!'
Anyway, I can't wait for the next one...the ending made me desperate to watch it. Fantastic work again from Mr. Moffet...
The most recent episode really freaked me out. e.e
"Who turned out the lights?!"
Eaugh.. I shiver at the thought
I turned off the light. It was an accident I promise.
...I just read/saw the 'last scene' of the last episode (Well, the filming anyway; lines can be heard). D: I won't spoil it, but wow.
I just saw the exclusive clip on the BBC website. It ends on a huge cliffhanger.
No need to discuss your "ideas" it's pretty obvious who knows what happens (2nd post above). Its stupid theory about the song you lot are comming to. his song is to end meaning regeneration. every regeneration might haeve a song so think about that. Ita leaving time for david.

David Tennant's in the Christmas Special (there are photos), he's signed on for the specials and season 5. So no. Do some research before you tell us we're not allowed to theorize.

Woah woah tonight's episode is going to be SO EPIC I can feel it.... wawwww
And I can't wait for series 5 since it's mostly steve moffat's episodes :DDDDD
Whoah, that was the best episode of the revived series so far, IMO. When Miss Evangelista had her veil taken off though, it made me jump.
Tonight's episode was just strange. So bizzare. It was kinda cool I guess. ;/
Wow, you are a genius, thank you Steven Moffat. =D
Now next week, do I smell a Snakes on a Plane parody? 0o
yet again...he got me scared all through the episode. I never had that feeling before in all my time watching TV.
:/
I didn't really rate it. It didn't make a lot of sense and wasn't as good as the last one, in my opinion. The Vashdaar things seemed to be able to get in and out of suits.. and why did they let the people go?
The computer thing was clever, I'd guessed they may have been saved as data files. Very confusing though.
At least now nobody can say Davies writes all the mushy stuff.. all that stuff with River Song and Donna and the guy. River is soo the Doctor's wife. He said there was only one time he'd tell anybody his name.. marriage ceremony?
Meh, I didn't like it as much.
Ok, Miss Evangelista's face scared the crap out of me. ._.
That was a great episode, ableit a bit confusing...

That episode was great.
Bashda Narada (? I think) are now my 4th favorite monster (sleeping with a light on tonight though)
Well, I must say that was fantastic...take a bow once again Mr. Moffat. The episode had everything. Superbly written, it was kinda confusing while I watched it, but everything strung together by the end of it. Glad to see another side to Donna's possible history as well. It was so sad when the guy saw Donna, but couldn't say her name. He should have ran off the teleport.
The story between the Doctor and River Song was very interesting indeed. Maybe they do get married in the future... who knows... We'll have to wait and see. My brother seems intent that she won't appear in any future episodes, yet it seems kinda inevitable...
I only just realised the Doctor Moon business.
The moon above the library is a doctor moon (hence the name Dr. Moon), but has been computerised as a real person in Charlotte's world.
<3
Holy fudge awesome
River has got to be really close to the Doctor for him to give her his name :O
Next week noa ;-;
Can't wait for the next one.
This one was too weird.

i realised that! after they were talking about the Doctor Moon, and then the girl told Dr Moon to go away, I just shouted "OMG! HE'S THE DOCTOR MOON!!!!" lool
That didnt take me long to figure out. Kinda got it when they said it on the show (A Doctor Moon circling the planet+Doctor Moon= same thing).
Only two weeks till Rose returns ::)

Yeah me too. Loved it as well. No one would let me have their night light. Next one looks good. RTD wrote it. Has Lesley Sharp in it. And son of the great late Patrick Troughton, David Troughton.
Not too sure about the River Song thing; she had that whole red shirt thing going from the beginning - she was too close to the Doctor to keep about, just like Jenny.
It struck me that the writer of those episode is possibly a big Ghost in the Shell fan =3
Good episodes though ^^
I rather loved this... I like it when things don't make much sense... or are confusing and fit together and are a bit frightening to boot. Hurrah~
I didn't jump at Ms Evangelista's face, though I jumped at the girl gasping afterwards xD
I was expecting something more horrifying, rather than a SFX person let loose with a smudge tool.
Still. The point was made :]
The whole dream-world thing was wonderfully bizarre... and I laughed at the stuttering man on the teleport for some reason.
Quite sad, though >:
As for the River Song thing... interesting... also quite sad... though how did the Doctor get out of the handcuffs anyway?
Odd how the vashta narada let all the humans go instead of letting them stay and eating them... even if the planet was saved from exploding they could have changed their little minds s:
And they all agreed as one? Eh. Clever idea, though... Moffat's quite excellent at taking simple fears and making them really quite terrifying... the dark, skeletons, monsters under the bed, alive statues, clown-things.
Sad how a library planet-- which sounds rather fantastic-- had to be abandoned.
And for River and the other people... living forever in a dreamlike computer world? Sounds a bit off to me... especially if it was so weird and changeable... and why were Donna's "children" there at the end if they didn't exist when she wasn't there?
River Song's children they were.
Quote from: Investigator Someone on June 10, 2008, 07:48

ror so... the doctor's?
I'm just remembering how they said to Donna, "when you're not here, it's like we're not here".
But it was also said that all the children were the same. To save Memory =3

Basically there was one original pair of children, CAL simply created AI copies to create a bond between couples & the program. It's far more space efficient in programming (from my experience) to use one referrance point multiple times than using multiple sets of data..
Would you like to lose your place in the save file to Donna's fake child??

Heh, I was kind of thinking this - but it didn't go far enough into the whole question of whether an existence in cyberspace is equivelant to a real life in the episode.. but the added 'ghosting' element MADE the episode for me. I can't think if something more horrifying than slowly listening to a frightened relative losing their mind in front of me.
River Song in my opinion was a brilliant, despite the fact her death was signposted a mile off... I think her addition eludes to the years break for the Doctor. At the end of this series does he meet River & then the gap is where he spends his next 200 or so years? He can then come back a very differant Doctor (with the same face).
All in all these last 2 episodes were excellent & make me excited with Moffat's upcoming leadership. Not only did he manage to make me genuinely believe in Tennant as the Doctor but he made me feel emotion without gurning!
I looked on Wikipedia and this Episode 12's name, The Stolen Earth.

Wow, what a bizzare yet well written episode! That certainly messes with you head! This surly has to be the best series of the comeback thus far! And we still are waiting for Mr D! XD
Wow, what a bizzare...just kidding. XD
Plus Rose appeared on TV again. Typical Doctor looking away.
Next week's looks awesome.
Loved every second of it.

Well that was a very interesting episode indeed. Very well written, and the way each character changed throughout the episode was very good. Strange where we didn't actually see the monster that was attacking, yet did the shadow actually get defeated at the end? If it can survive outside, then surely it would have been able to escape from the body.
Anyway, are there only 12 episodes this series, or is it another 3 parter?
Quote from: Latias Tamer on June 14, 2008, 20:22

3 parter, Turn Left's events lead into the finale.
I gotta say, I did
not expect such a great episode from RTD. That was seriously quite something, excellent in fact. My only complaint was it felt a little 'empty' in some way (Sky mentioned at the start of the episode about... something I forget, anyway it seemed important at the time and I thought it'd be used to bolster the plot). It was neat how it wasn't explained, that way it seems even more scary and paranoia-inducing.
Roll on Turn Left, I've been looking forward to seeing if my theories are correct. Well, the theories I made from the photos and lines planetgallifrey presented, at least.
Faf; thories based on the fact that the first 3 episodes had planets that... weren't... at all?
I found that episode... creepy 0_o Btw, what's the name of the actress who played Sky? Coz i swear I recognise her from somewhere and it's been bugging me all night
Next week looks interesting! Rose is back! Weeeeeee!
That was great. Nice to see how other people react to someone whos too confident about aliens.
And next week's look good. Where does the thing on her back come from?
Quote from: Turtlejosh on June 14, 2008, 22:05

Racnoss, apparently. It reappears in Turn Left (since it takes place in an alternate timeline during the Runaway Bride storyline, but without the Doctor ever meeting Donna), kills the Doctor, and leaves an egg on Donna. Or something along those lines.
Quote from: FaFniR on June 13, 2008, 11:59

Heh, I would just like to point out the 'time-travelling' nature of the show - as unless the planet has been removed from time he should be more than able to return to an earlier 'pre-destruction' Skaro.
And for those who are about to quote "Galifrey" as a reason he can not return to Skaro (as he can not return to pre-destruction Skaro). I will say to them "Earth".

You mean Alice Troughton? Although they share the same surname, she isn't related to the second Doctor; Patrick Troughton.
Quote from: Pretty_Chicken on June 14, 2008, 21:56Btw, what's the name of the actress who played Sky?
Her name is Lesley Sharp. I'm not sure what shes been in though...
Anyway. Not a bad episode last night. Certainly not the best either I have to say. Not much seemed to happen really, which, to me at least, made the episode seem much shorter than it really was. And they didn't explain what the thing that possessed Sky was, which really bugged me. I hope they do explain it somehow in a later episode, though I doubt they will.
Good to see an episode without Donna in it much too.
Patrick Troughton's son was the Professor, though ;)
Oh I liked how little was explained.. the Doctor genuinely didn't know what was happening or how to stop it, and it was rather disconcerting. Nice to see that weakness in him though - he was so sure that the people needed him there, whereas in actual fact of course he was powerless to stop the alien. Very psychological episode, what with hysteria turning the people into savages.. disturbing. Especially when they were dragging the Doctor out. Thought it was very poignant that nobody found out the hostess's name, too.. I enjoyed it, one of the best filler eps so far imo. Although it was very low-budget =P all in one set, no monster animations.. just good actors.
Quote from: Latias Tamer on June 14, 2008, 20:22yet did the shadow actually get defeated at the end? If it can survive outside, then surely it would have been able to escape from the body.
Donna and the Doctor were discussing this at the end of the episode - she asked if it was still out there, and he nodded and conceeded that he'd have to warn the leisure company about it so they could build elsewhere instead.
I lo-led at the gifts stuff. "Here is your earplugs shoes (SHOES?) slippers (SLIPPERS?) and peanuts. (I see that the tradition is still there.) Please notice that some of the products may contain nuts."(YEP! it's still there!)
I think the person who written this must have read Lord of the Flies. They didn't turn to savages. they turned into people who primal instincts took over....

I was like "OMG WTH?" When ky/thing talked before the Doctor. Holy crap, I wouldn't like that to happen.
And what about the part when the all spoke together. How many times would that ave taked to film without bursting ot laughing.
I heard that Davids Tennanta girlfriend doesn't want him to do Doctor Who anymore because of all the fanmail he's been getting. I bet she's just jealous.

Jethro was epic win. Like, when it was copying everyone he was just like "Hi my name's Jethro =D" and "666!"

Quote from: Snagar on June 16, 2008, 01:39

One where he never meets Donna, which (presumably) means he gets killed by the Racnoss (the ship appears in this episode; it takes place on Donna's hen-night or something).

Heh, I know you were joking but it would be interesting. Jenny could take it over. Welcome to Jenni Who!
We pretty much know the Doctor survives due to Steven Moffat taking directorship of the next series. THOUGH, possibly the Doctor WE know dies and the alternate timeline Doctor is the one who carries on?
That would be a way of altogether change the fundamentals of the show. Remove the Doctor's knowledge of Donna & therefor he may also not have experienced Martha (as he will not have recovered from the loss of Rose as much due to not having Donna to confide in).

He was a poor take off of Nick from My Family. I found him funny up until I realised this. :<
Aside from that, it was an excellent episode. It was a breath of fresh air to have the mystery left intact and not explained at the end - we don't know and will hopefully never know what it was that took over Skye's mind. But it was masterfully played out - the synchronisation was win <3
As for next week...I have the most awful feeling that they won't do it justice - bringing Rose back, I mean. They'll make it all cliched and unnecessarily over the top. I really hope I'm wrong, but I don't think it'll be fabulous. And I so, so want it to be fabulous.
:P
^didn't seem very nicklike... just rather teenagerlike.
And a bit amusing~
With a sense of humour about the whole thing.
Quite a good episode... seemed very light after the two-parter before, but that's probably just me... the repeating was interesting enough... though I found the no-explaination a bit of a cop-out... but I like to have things explained s:
Maybe they'll come back to it at some point in the future. Or maybe not. No matter.
The fact that the Doctor had no idea what it was, or how to handle it, was a good touch...
Though when the unnamed hostess opens the cabin/cockpit part, after the "earthquake"... and the light comes in... wouldn't they technically be vapourised? If the cabin had just gone... there'd be no glass... ah well.
-will now feel like repeating the lines of anyone else who has watched it-
Had a few rather swish lines. "...sorry, I'm the Doctor: I'm very clever." "Shamble bobble dibble dooble." "Oh Doctor, you're so handsome, yes I am, thank you."
I laughed at the last one x3
"Multo bene" reminds me of my mum... she says that a lot.

No, I think that was quite intentional, the next/final 3 episodes are going to be quite intense so I think they simply used Saturdays episode as an emotional spacer. Letting people calm down a bit... so that they can hit us with the next eps!

This was leaked over a week ago on planetgallifrey, along with the picture of the Red Supreme Dalek.
I advise anyone not wishing to see Davros yet to avoid clicking that link.
oh noes! My dad is going to go crazy if he see's this!
For some reason I ended up watching "Turn Left" tonight.

I liked that episode. Can't blame Donna with being so annoyed with Rose. I liked the way all the other companions died without the doctor.
And as usual I want to see next week's now. The laughing Dalek sounds most...odd.
Oh and my mum said she sound like she had false teeth in.
I just love the cleverness of these episodes.
I could honestly see the effort they had injected into the production of the episode! Halfway through, I thought Rose had turned evil and wanted to replace Donna as the Doctors' assistant. :P

Well, I must say, that was truely fantastic! Welldone Mr. Davies. I've been waiting all week for that one, but I think I'm gonna be even more anxious to watch this one. The whole series fitted together really well, and it's been set up for a fantastic finale. Seems like the TARDIS gave off it's warning signal, but I wonder how the Doctor knew it meant to end of the Universe... =p
Doctor Who Confidential has pretty much confirmed that who we suspected is the 'Ultimate Boss'.
They're finally going to explain Bad Wolf!

Righto, wonder what the old lady with the Jadoon's part is in all of this? The Jadoon hunt criminals right? Davros maybe? Would be awesome if another alien race came out of the blue.
Did wonder if maybe Torchwood is holding Davros imprisoned. Could explain the Dalek invasion...
Sarah Jane's side kick or whatever was in the trailer according to my friend, so a Sarah Jane Adventures Crossover as well as Torchwood.
Trailer again if anyone wants to endlessly watch it for clues (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_ppwFhsSyM)

the cloister bells. do you remember the bell sound in the tardis? that was the tardis warning signal. it was in last seasons finale (when the master had it) and in the special episode for comic relif (time crash).
Turn Left was brilliant.
Probably the most striking part of that episode was where the Italian family were getting taken away to the "Labour Camps", talking about "Britain for the British". A very powerful, hard-hitting concept used there, Especially with Donna's Grandfather saying "That's what they said last time. It's happening again." It [the "Labour Camps" prospect] seemed so out of the blue yet, in relation to the story, very relevant, poginant, and perhaps a vision of what would happen in a V For Vendetta style government?
I hope that they haven't changed the design of the Daleks too much. From what I saw in the trailer, it looks a bit too angular (of course, unless it's a Dalek Supremeish kind of Dalek, or a fully cased Davros.)
Another thing I liked about Turn Left was how every companion's fate was explained. I was thinking "What about the Master/Mr. Saxon and the Toclafane invasion incident?", then I realised that Without the Doctor's Intervention, Prof. Yana would never have known about the watch and remembered his Time Lord past. Thus he would never have nicked off with the TARDIS and become Mr. Saxon anyway.

I listened carefully when the tank fired the missile at the Racnoss Ship. Originally the officer said
'Order's from Mr. Saxon. Fire at will.', yet this time he just shouted
'FIRE!'

The ending is the one to end it all. I muist say they've tied everything into place and by judging by the trailer doctor who program deserves a year off. The next episode trailer says it all. Everyone(everyone important) from season 1-4 will be in that finally. It seems to be the ending of all endings.
So this is the Bad Wolf Saga and the end is near.
Wooooow~
That was a fantastic Doctor Who episode 8D Just when you think Donna's escaped the crisis something even worse happens!
I've absolutely LOVED this series of Doctor Who w/Catherine Tate... I shall definitely be buying thsi on DVD when its released!

Quite possibly, since the one that River Song had (from the future Doctor) was a different design, and far more sophisticated than his current one.

We re getting 3 specials in 09. 2010 is series 5. :)
Usually, new producer means new title opening, so at least expect that. Its all up to Moffat...
Last night's episode was brilliant and I can't wait for next weeks which looks absolutely awesome since it has my favourite aliens the Daleks and it looks like it's going to crossover with Torchwood and the Sarah Jane adventures
everyone dies! WOW! I paled when I realised what they meant by "it's happening again."(which was in about 2.9 seconds XD). But why does Britain have to go and turn Fascist, everytime a huge event that overthrows the government, happens? It could be from the time when punks was around where people thought that we will be like Nazi's in the near future... (V for Vendetta.
Judge Dread.)
Well let just look at Titanic. I thought that the man who wanted to crash it, was trying blow up the PLANET! The Doctor said that the engines when they crash will be able to blast apart Earth. But it didn't. It just blew up southern England! how did that happen?

You don't think the woman with the Judoon is the Rani? Anyway I read the Sun and guess what, they got a picture of Davros(i think he needs wrinkle cream) and a red dalek. Turn Left. RTD's best episode ever. He's a brilliant writer and as he has done some bad scripts, people think "Oh god, it him again", but he has done some marvellous episodes, such as Utopia, Sound of Drums, Voyage of the Damned and Tooth and Claw. But in his stories he has to set the storyline.
I watched Saturday's episode this morning as I was out on Saturday and recorded it.
I haven't really been watching Doctor Who, but I will watch it more now as this episode showed me what I have been missing. I've only watched a few episodes this series, and they all seemed pretty good. I don't know which ones they were though, and I don't know why I haven't been watching it properly =P
Anyway, I thought this weeks episode was pretty good =] Next week's looks good too, so I will be watching that =]

All I can say is that this series has been really exceptional so far - even the smaller episodes have been original, compared to last years rather poor showing I have been absolutely loving season 4 (except for the Agatha Christie episode...). I have even forgiven Tennant for all the pain he's caused me.
The red Dalek? *lol* A referance to the original Daleks at last - looks a lot like the original 70's Dalek we have in our Forbidden Planet Store.
BTW, I took this photo at a recent TCG convention I went to..
(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee46/FBI_Bob/31052008014.jpg)
The red dalek had some bad*** (donkey) stuck to it, like some metal. Perhaps this is Dalek Caan? Anyway, I thought Davros sounded a bit odd, but the Torchwood guys in it as well. Gwen Cooper for next companion? At least its someone outside of London.
YAY Davros! The creator of the Daleks is back! lol
That Red Dalek looks almost like the one with the Dalek special with Peter Cushing and those Red Daleks with the blue hemispheres.
I miss the Supreme Dalek :(
Davros spent some time as the supreme Dalek.. though not the giant spiderlike Dalek from the end of Season 1.. THAT was an awesome Dalek (could have done with some movement though)!
I'm more interested with Bad Wolf the reconstituting of the Dalek fleet.. although I know that Rose coming back consitutes the end of the universe as this heralds the collapse of the dimensional barriers... the Daleks were wiped from time itself. Does this mean that Davro has somehow accessed the time vortex or that Rose has somehow unknowingly retained some abilities?
Quote from: FBI Bob [[The Hunted]] on June 25, 2008, 00:17

I thought it was only the Dalek Fleet around Earth that was wiped out by Bad Wolf Rose. I don't remember anything being said about the Daleks being wiped from time. Only that the Dalek Fleet around Earth had been turned to dust.
I think Caan resuerrects Davros from the dead.
just to kill him again? I don't know.
Don't the Daleks sucessfully conquer the earth in 2015 in one of the classic episodes and one of the movies? Maybe thats what ll happen?
Turn Left = revenge of the christmas specials.
Davros had better not be killed off in these two episodes, if at all... and no more "last dalek"s or "falling through time" either, please.
Hurrah~

They weren't wiped from time, Bad wolf Rose spread every atom of there existance.
This morning I was going into college late, and realised yesterdays Blue Peter was on. I thought I would watch it a bit since I had nothing else to do. They had a big bit about Doctor Who, as they had Freema Ageyman in, so I kept watching. They gave behind the scenes footage of 'Journey's end' film, because Gethin starred as one of the Daleks in it. It included an Interview with Russel T Davies, where he actually says that Davros are coming back. They also showed big footage with Micky, Sarah Jane and Jackie, as well as a sneak preview.

From the time vortex - removed them from time. *lol* Let's not get into an arguement on this!
I just watched the preview clip on the Doctor Who website & am quite worried about this Saturdays episode...
Sarah-Jane's video still looks kiddy (paper-plates with lights on for a super computer etc), Torchwood still looks camp and they all seem to be using the same 'I'm so scared I'm crying' look. This could be brilliant.. it could VERY wrong!
i think that this is going to be the best finale yet
GOD...STOP THE SPOILERS PLEASE! (caps lock sorry.) I have to admit. I would love to be a cyberman killing everything....
I like seeing spoilers.
You know what would be nice? A finale that didn't HAVE to centre around Daleks. Show some love for Cybermen!

Ah i saw that last night. Its quite chilling in a way. To see sarah jane cry.
I think Sarah overreacts for someone who only had a quick brush with the Daleks once. o.o It
was once, right? Just Genesis? Then again, considering it sounds like they've all seen the millions of ships in the sky, things would look pretty grim.
Still, lack of faith in the Doctor. >= Unless it's after THAT scene...

Though Last Of The Time Lords was a bit meh. So I tend to skip it when rewatching.

Baka no hitotsu oboe
*lol* I think it's a case of the truth being bent slightly here as to make the episode more exciting. While I'm not sure how many run-ins Sarah Jane has had with the Daleks, the fact that shes now over 40 & still not dead probably means that the can't be worth quaking in fear over...
Plus what about Captain Jack? He can't die... surely that's got to be an advantage? Stop being camp and make a plan!

Have you seen them lately? The Messiah like effect with the doctor when he was 900 years old and look like doblin? Or ripping apart the void just to put a junk load of daleks inside it?(with a hint of cyberman.) Or even even wiping out the entire fleet of darleks thanks to rose! (with a very steamy kiss may i ask.)

To be honest, that 'uber-Doctor' trick almost completely turned me off from Tenant's Doctor.. it's all too easy to use the "he's an alien therefore he can do anything" trick & I feel that was a really weak ending following such a good build up. I'd have preferred it if the Doctore had escaped from a 'little shop' in the hangar...
Allthough.. that episode does raise one question.. since when does a Timelord CHOOSE to regenerate.. is this new to the series (from memory I can't recall this being mentioned before).. and also they can choose their form? The Master states "that if you can be young and strong, then so can I" and promptly regenerates into a younger body...
If this is the case.. why Colin Baker?
Actually, Romana chose to regenerate. I think Sarah Jane has had 2, Day of the Daleks as well i think. Or Death to the Daleks. One or other.
Romana's regeneration 'scene' is pretty funny. She tries on about half a dozen different faces, each of them an old villain or familiar ally, none of them the Doctor particularly likes (or they're too tall/short compared to him), before settling on using the face of a previous character.

Ah, Destiny of the Daleks. One of Tom Baker's best. :)
Of course, Peter Davidson's last classic story is my alltime fav. For christ's sake, he's chased by men with machine guns firing at him. o.o
I really can't wait, only a few hours to go!
Tonight's episode is going to be made of WIN! <333
OMG
What the hell? Regeneration? What? Why? Who? How?
What!?
He can't do it He just can't! Taking all my strenth not to use caps right now!!!!! He can't regenerate we would of been warned! No next time trailer? I swear he only got shot on one side! Maybe he will use controled regeneration like his daughter Jenny!

Well, I m waiting and seeing it for myself. I m sticking to the possibility its a trick tease. o.o
jhgjhfdhgdhfhnjgnklkdhkjdhkdhkdjhklgglkjljdjkglf
WOW. That was amazing, truly. If he DOES regenerate then I'll be kind of happy, since I'm KIND OF bored of David Tennant.... did anyone notice his face was like RTD's at the end? D:
i think he dosnt really regenerate. he's contracted untill 2010 isnt he?
That's exactly what I thought. He can't regenerate yet! He's too awesome!
Felt sorry for Rose through most of it, and potentially losing the Doctor she knew only seconds after seeing him again.
Never seen that 'TO BE CONTINUED!' thing before, tis epic looking XD
This coming week will be the longest week ever.
I have a theory, if Tennant is supposed to stay. Then maybe Rose could go all Bad Wolf and reverse it or something. Maybe will power will come into this.
I don't know ^^; *Expects rumour mill to over flow over the next 7 days*
So hyper after that I went made and found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7iCatBsDhk&feature=related
I know it starts with a bit about the last christmas special but watch at 1:00
is it spoilers? i dont like spoilers
The theory about his regeneration is that he splits in two. This is backed up by set pictures showing Tennant on Bad Wolf Bay wearing both outfits (the blue one and the brown one), in different shots. Plus, if the Doctor was going to REALLY regenerate, someone would have leaked information about the new actor ages ago.
Tons of theories.
1. They re in the Tardis, so anything could happen
2. That thing Martha has.
3. Bad Wolf?
4. Maybe he's teleporting? Shadow thingymajij? Davros?
I m just taking it into curtion. He maybe regenerating, he may not. Either one could happen...
The fact David Tennant is the Doctor in the Christmas special (hell, I've seen enough of the shots and footage) and Journey's End kind of proves the regeneration isn't a proper one.
Set reports have been calling it a "botched regeneration" for a while now.
Anyway, jeez people! Where's the Davros talk? What did you guys think of Mr Bleach's performance? Personally, I loved it and he's almost a perfect Davros.
Caan becoming a giggling psycho after dying in the Time War "a thousand times" and rescuing Davros was genius.
Ah yeah, he was awesome as Davros. I m glad they modelled it off the first Davros rather then the one from Peter Davidson's Dalek story, since he didnt really have the same impact as he first did. Great performance.
Oh I love mad Caan! He's crazy talk and the fact he's chained up? Great. =D
Tonight's episode was brilliant and I can't wait for next week. and I hope the Doctor doesn't completely regenerate since I like David Tennant as the Doctor
WOW! That was fantastic...truely fantastic! Well done once again Mr. T Davies...leaving your best till last. The end was so good, yet so bad... The Doctor's reaction to Rose, yet the run was so long I could already tell that a Dalek was going to appear, and one of them would get shot. Very good episode though...nice inclusion of everyone from all ends of Doctor Who... Though the way they contacted The Doctor was a bit funny...but it's Sci-fi so meh.
Also, did anyone hear Harriet Jones' reference to Mr. Copper from the Christmas special?

GAIZ DUN FORGET NEXT WEEK'S EPISODE IS 65 MINUTES LONG, AHURGlad enough attention was paid to the fact that Davros's right hand had been destroyed back in Revelation and had to be replaced with the rather snazzy metal claw we see now.

"Ahahahahahahee.. 's funny though s:"
Also loved Donna and Jack's "hallo~", Dalek Caan and those little bits being tied up, like bees and the medusa cascade.
NOWAI ;.;
I can haz speculation :s
XP
AHEM.
1] When a Dalek exterminate beam hits a human, it hits them, but does not come out. It went straight through the Doctor.
2] When a human is hit by a Dalek exterminate beam, they glow all over, and you can see all of their bones. For the Doctor though, it hit him in his left side, and that was the ONLY part that glowed.
3] When a human is hit by a Dalek exterminate beam, they die immeadtily [sp] but the Doctor did not.
4] The Doctor said that the Medusa Cascade was a second out of sync with the rest of the universe, so they're in a time bubble. When out of sync, could he possibly regenrate into himself? [Mums speculation]
DAVID ;.;
What an excellent episode.
Little things I loved include the Richard Dawkins cameo, the return of Harriet Jones, mad Dalek Caan singing, Martha doing anything, the reference to Mr Copper, and Rose's Theme when they ran together.
I'm almost certain there won't be a real regeneration - I've put money on it!
Omgg! That ep was awesome! And Caan was kinda cute and funny, in an insanely mad way.
And my sister and stepdad were talking about it today and they were like "Who is he going to change into. Maybe the master???!!!" :dry: I wish Saturday would hurry up so we can see what happens :(
he turns into jemery kyle.
Guys guys guys!

Also because I was bored of waiting for a reply I made my own trailer. Not for next episode just a random one
http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/trailermaker/view/7fi2ib
Hey all, sorry I'm a bit late... but WOW!! What a great episode!! Especially as we MAY have a new Doctor (but we won't).
I'd especially like to pick up on the fact that River Song, recognised the Doctor's current form, therefore they still have to meet up in the future in his current form (or forme... heh), and that Tenant is still signed up for at least the specials.
One possibility that no one has so far mentioned is that when the Doctor & Donna are at the Shadow Proclamation, the woman serving Donna mentioned "there was something on your back" and then spoke of her destiny AND the fact that the Doctor specifically mentioned parallel worlds/dimensions in regards to Donna in Turn Left.... I think that Donna is the key to Tenant staying as the Doctor, although I'm not going to bet any cash on it. Lets just say that the Doctor may end up 'turning right' with a little help from Donna.
Not a spoiler.. my guess.
What I would like to know is.. if for just the space of half of the next episode we get a new Doctor, then he changes back to Tenant.. does that mean he would necessarily become that Doctor again when he regenerates.. or will he become a whole new Doctor at random??
He either splits into two Tennants or we get "the other Doctor" (the 2008 Christmas Special's amnesia-ridden parallel Doctor, played by some Morrisey guy with an assistant called Rosita, ahur) for half the episode.

Hmm, not all Doctors suffer from amnesia following their regeneration - some pretty much bounce back into action.. I think Davidson's regeneration was the most troublesome as it seemed to last several episodes.
Maybe we get Russell Brand as the Doctor for 30mins and then NEVER again? I'nm fairly certain we'll be seing Tenant again though.
I was serious about the amnesia-ridden other Doctor and Rosita. o.o They're in the Christmas special. (My earlier post made it sound like a joke)
And Davison, by the way. ;) Easy mistake.

Heh, thats okay - it is about 2.30am at the moment.. even the usualy infalible FBI Bob can make slip-ups at that time in the morning!
Amnesia Doctor & Rosita... interesting.. I must investigate futher.
My mum has a theory about his regeneration: Coz the Medusa Cascade is 1 second ahead of the rest of the universe, maybe they can find a way to go back 1 second and stop him regenerating? It's an interesting idea me thinks
what if (and just a guess) the Dalek was was set to stun XP XP XP It's worth hoping for =D
but brilliant episode
but there is still a chance he might regenerate as after all the best way to keep a secret is to lie and cover it up we so believe tenet IS contracted for more but he might not be? could just be a lie so we don't guess the ending
or he half regenerates and has two personality's and becomes doctor who and mr what ;D
but like it said on one of the confidential's there was a love relationship between the doctor and rose a one sided one from martha nothing at all for donna so maybe the next doctor is gay? Jack could be in luck :P
anywho There is still the matter of the doctor (new or not) and crew having to take down Davros and his nice big fleet personally i think they should just send jack with both guns and watch him die 100's of times ¬¬ but it's sure to be something great and HOPEFULLY he scatters the daleks through time so when they all get killed at the end (presuming they do) they don't have to be re introduced
It mentions someone dying. Martha is in Torchwood series 3 so it can't be her, Sarah Jane is doing her second series, Rose probably will reuse the time vortex to pwn the Daleks, Jack's immortal. I think it's Donna. Why would she leave the Doctor at the end? She isn't trying to distract her love for him. So it must be her. Then again, if my Rose theory is correct, Rose could bring her back to life, like Jack. I suppose they could be a couple

Hmm, but then following the new trailor we know that Davros is trying to destroy reality itsefl.. and Donna is heavily tied into the whole 'dimension\reality' realm of the current series. It's a good bet that somehow Donna has to die to save reality.. BUT then Rose 'died', therefore anything can still happen.

I think he's referring to when she 'died' in the series 2 finale.
After the Battle of Canary Wharf she couldn't be found anywhere, no body, no trace of her since she was trapped in the parallel universe, thus she was declared officially dead.

Yup, sorry - for people that haven't been watching since season 1 - in season 2 there were numerous referances to Rose dying - but in the end it was a trick and Rose was infact declared ded on our Earth after being trapped in parralel Earth.
I doubt that RTD would try the same cheesy trick twice - but neither would I put it past him to save Donna from her 'fate' with some sill play on words.. or as someone put it earlier an "ass-pulling" trick.

I think Donna and Rose will die. I don't know, something about Rose makes me think she'll die. Best episode ever, 9.99999999/10 RTD has brought Davros back properly and like he was. But did we expect the regenaration?

Actually.. I prefer 'Silence in the Library' and it's fellow episode... although the episode just gone is much more epic in scale, so far it's most distinguishing features have been bringing back old enemies, bringing back old allies and uhm.. bringing back an arch nemesis. Other than that there is some really good acting from Tennant.
The real test is the next hour long episode - with all of the cast now in place the actual STORYTELLING can start. Oh.. and we get to gind out what happens to the Doctor.

One second.. I've just read that.. since when do the ultimate pitiless machines of death have a stun setting? Do they activate it by sitting on cushions drinking tea? *lol*

I said the Doctor was going to be exterminated!
Well, you were mostly right actually - good going. Though it has already been admitted that the return of Davros was the least well kept secret of Doctor Who.
I've been reading the Radio Times special on Davros & was quite amused at the efforts they took to keep him secret, such as calling him DAVE. DAVE ROSS. Yup.. real secret!
Dave is a much better name for a crippled insane genius.
On a rather unrelated note... did anyone else notice that when Harriet Jones was sending out the sub-wave network... the beeping, when Rose was with Donna's family, when the signal was arriving was in the same four-note rhythm as the Master's drumming?
Little random details tied together for a grand finale, I suppose s:

I noticed that too, and started tapping as well. I was sure there wasn't a connection, but maybe it's just something that was used in general... Not sure...

I have looked into the Dalek survival guide I have found that there is a stun. It just that it's so rare for a dalek to have their gun on stun that it was thought that they didn't have it.
It's a nice book. made in the 90's and It's still usful, even though some of the data is now redundant.

Hm.. I wasn't sure.. I wouldn't have mentioned it, only I remembered that in "The Sound Of Drums", the bomb on Martha's TV beeped in the same pattern and sounded just like it.
Then again, so does my alarm clock, which probably explains why I liked the Master so much.

The tenth doctor had better not regenarate or I will..I will....well i dunno, but hey he's the best doctor imo!
And I'm soooo glad Rose is back! YAY!
I've just remembered. In the Daleks Ian's legs were paralysed.
Yeah i hope the 10th doctor does'nt regenerate. Does anybody know what the jaws of the nightmare child is ??

That was debunked by the BBC.
Besides, NO-ONE in their right mind would make Nesbitt the Doctor.
Plus Tennant is still signed on for the specials, and he's unsure of season 5.

Nah, watched him on the Graham Norton Show earlier and it was news to him. :P
Hey I was just watching it again on BBC three and Dalek Cann said "eternal death for the most faithful companion" now why would they use the word eternal for a normal human like martha? Eternal could be for Jack as he can't die OR for Rose as Dalek Cann was there when she "died" in the finale of series two.
Quote from: Angelic Lapras King on July 04, 2008, 02:25

ah dear..
that was dead amusing =P
oh and.. yay at tomorrow =D
yeah i think they meen Rose aswell
they might say eternal as their death could get time locked... Jack has to become the face of boe and martha and sharar jane has appearances elsewhere in other programs so rose or donner well i hate donner and rose was an alright assisant so so i'm hoping for donner to die =D My guess would the doctor finding a way to stop caan saving davros but in order for that to happen they need to go to the time war (it's meant to be time locked but caan managed it) and then maybe donner gets killed/ sacrifices herself so that davros can't be saved and the doctor figures out how caan got through the time lock and stops that from happening again (though it could be rose instead)
and my name spelling is terrible D=
and i miss K-9 surely it wouldn't of been too much to bring him into these two episodes as well
Only 8 hours or so to gooo! I'm so excited :D
unless being the face of boe is an eternal death..?
always dieing, but never dead..?
or something..?
Maybe like Owen in torchwood?
David's staying like someone said about the hand thing. Mickie in torchwood. Wow now thats one years wait for the next series. no what what what. now the Daleks are gone. And i hear cybermen
Quick EDIT: So one left to die. no one did it was just donna's mind
Absolutely superb Mr Davis. Pretty poor on the regeneration front but other than that it was, whats the word I'm looking for, FLABAGASTIC
Excellent stuff! I'm really sad to see Donna go. Bit of a sudden cut to the credits, but eh.
Bring on the Cybermen (and Cybershades)!
Quite the epic ending huh?
lol. at the avoiding regeneration (Why would I want to regenerate? XD). Also, GERMAN DALEKS! XD XD XD Awesome.
Did think they made the Daleks look silly once their plan began to failed, but meh. THEY BEEN DEFEATED BY HATS IN THE CLASSIC SERIES FOR GODS SAKE! XD Glaaaaaaaad there's the possibility of Mr Davros surviving. We didnt see him die like the Master (Whos status is unknown at the mo). Mr RTD doesnt even know if Confidential is to be believed. Still, how the heck will there be even more Daleks I don't know.
Donna thing, great! What a way to send off an companion! Erase her mind so she doesnt "die". And bugger off Rose, you ve got your Doctor now (A theory my friend was right about! XD)
So yeah, brill ending to perhaps the best series of the comeback. =D
Also, XMas preview. Loving the look of it! Now, Cybermen in a snowy graveyard, that looks promising surly? XD
That was a brilliant episode ^.^ and the chrismas special looks awesome with the Cyberman
Meh...
Good episode!
I didn't think there were enough internal story arcs in the episode, however, the spectacle was spectacular!
I mean, creating weapons they could kill Davros from out of the blue was... a bit... MEH?
I think the 'Doctor Donna' thing that the Ood were celebrating should have been brought through other episodes so we would remember it a bit more. I had completely forgotten the the Ood had prophecised such things (But that's just me... Everyone may have remembered.)
And we don't hear about the stash of nuclear warheads under the Earth's surface until this episode, which, as far as we know, is VERY conveinient as a last-ditch attempt for survival... If they had mentioned it in a previous episode, perhaps...
Maybe I'm being too picky here...
Good send off for Donna, really emotive indeed.
Loved the cross-overs from Torchwood and Sarah Jane Smith.
The inclusion of Ex-Prime Minister Hilary Jones.
Who's afraid of the big Bad Wolf?
But I LOVE Doctor Who nevertheless!
Bring back the Cybermen!
PS: I hope Micky joins Torchwood!
The Christmas special plot rocks from what I've seen. It involves a lot of super awesome steampunk themes. Steampunk Cybermen! Cybershades! I can't wait!
Is Rose in a like... half-relationship with Donna...? Technically? o____O' Since, well, half of 'the no.2 Doctor' was part-Donna.

But that's what makes it so great. If it had been repeated over-and-over again throughout the series, I'm sure everyone would be "oh, so The Doctor and Donna get some sort of fusion?"
This way, it just sounds like the Ood missunderstanding the phrase "Doctor, Donna, Friend."

that would have been stupid.. there were already so many things being repeated over the series.. why can't the Ood have some information to themselves.
it all looks so faulse when its echoed around everywhere all series.. it was nice to have an unexpected ref
Fair point.
It just got on my nerves.
It be my opinion.
Please don't dismiss it as 'stupid'.
i wasn't refering to your oppinion as stupid.. i just find it irritating that they have to drum the hints into you like a nail into wood all the time.. its unrealistic and it really annoys me, heh.
and this was Ood related.. which made it even better..
and i loved it..
you can't take that away from me T.T
DUDE! I have arrived! I loved Davros insanity. He wants to destroy Reality itself! (0.o) He was laughing like mad! I must admit that the doctor didn't do an ass pulling trick like before. and's that great! My family lol'ed at the German speaking guys. they have to if they want total control of the planet. I would have rofl'ed if it was in china or Japan.
I WANT DA OGSTARTGEN KEY! I NEED IT! I MUST HAVE IT!
Awww, that episode was so sad T_T But I loved it! I loved all the lil bits of humour added in, like when Jack's hugging Mickey and he goes "And that's beefcake!" rofl
And when the Daleks were speaking German.. made me giggle. I only wish they could have gone to Japan :( Japanese Daleks would pwn!
And at least no-one "died" per say, as in physically. It's just a shame that it was donna that had to leave T_T she was awesome
And Dalek Caan was so cute ^.^
Can't wait for the Christmas special.. return of the Cybermen *jumps up and down with excitement*
And I totally think they should bring Jenny back for the next season. That'll be cool
I was sadened that Donna left, maybe she could return and start the relationship again with the Doctor? If Catherine Tate wants to return.
Anyways, there's the Doctor Who Proms: mini episode to look forward to.
And the Cybermen at Christmas.
And Micky in Torchwood! Btw, when is Torchwood back on again? I need to watch it.
I think the scene with them all piloting the TARDIS was the best, just amazing.
NOWAI
:DDDDD
Two Doctors ftw
German Daleks are pwn. German Daleks > You

No, if she doesn't remember that she'd been with him before, then she can return to ther series safely. So she will have to be introduced to everyone again. But this is an idea if Catherine Tate wants to return, if she will.
That was a great episode =D I just watched it cos I was out at a party last night when it was on, so I recorded it =P
Here are my thoughts all jumbled together:
Loved the German Daleks =P Made me lol. I managed to not cry as well, but only just. I did not expect like half the stuff that happened. That made it better though as it meant it wasn't so predictable. I'm happy the Doctor didn't regenerate into someone else, cos David Tennant is pretty cool. Davros was pretty crazy =P And they brought K-9 in! =D Love for K-9, although we only saw him briefly <3 And for some reason I have started to think of Daleks as freaky but cute o.o
Christmas episode should be good =] And they should bring Jenny back at some point.
Jenny as the Doctor's new companion would be cool. A Father(ish)/daughter team-up <33
I loved this episode, German Daleks really made me lol, plus spinny Daleks XDD
I personally didn't like Donna, but that is a sad way to leave. Davros was amazing this time, pretty chilling =P My favourite is still The Master though.
At least Rose is happy now XD She technically has her man.
Christmas special looks very interesting indeed. Cybermen are my joint 2nd favourite villains along side Daleks, I can't decide which is better XD
The new series Cybermen suck, if you ask me. They're just a carbon copy of the Daleks (emotions removed, overused war cry). Get rid of the stupid 'Delete' phrase, and get us some Mondas Cybermen. The Daleks are actually chilling with their 'Exterminate' war cry, but the Cybermen just sound idiotic.
Yeah, the Mondas Cybermen should be revived at some point. Too bad the Christmas special's sticking with the 'Cybusmen'.
But at least we get the Cybershades as well, eh? They look very awesome.
am i the only one who thought that episode (and infact series) was actually awful?
i seriously just got bored it dragged on too much and was just too...cheesey in places. too long. too boring. too OBVIOUS.
and no one died.
awful to be honest.

Yh i was hoping for a death....... but then no one dies. What happened to the prophercy???. Daleks were indeed used too much now they have to stop using them now they've completely gone well except Davros. I hope there arent any Daleks for the nest 2 seasons since i didnt like how every season had them.
Now on to the special. If the paralel worlds are closed how did the cybus cybers get through?
What CAan meant was Donna was going to forget al of the Doctor and stuff, meaning that version of her DIED.
Plus, all those people were vapourised, is that not a death, or several.
German Daleks FTW <333
Fantastic episode as always. Sad to see the end again, but a wonderful way to end it. I loved the German Daleks muchly! ^^ The regeneration was a bit weird, but we all knew he wouldn't change. The double Doctor was very unexpected after Donna touched his hand and it finally had a reason to be in the Tardis. I was pretty surprised at the newer Doctor going on with Rose, but it makes sense and a nice ending. Couldn't help but feel sorry for the Doctor at the end, when he turned all lonely again. Especially how all his companions had someone else...but he still leaves on his own... =p
Very interesting story of how the Doctor and Donna were connected to each other, and could help but chuckle when she went all Time Lordy. Good way to release her character, but yet another one series companion which I am slightly dissapointed about... I liked Donna, yet the way we lost her sets up for her to somehow return if Wilfred accidently spills the beans.
Speaking of Wilf, I loved his character throughout the series. Very well played, and showed an outside view of someone who isn't directly in contact with the Doctor, yet knew how good he was for Donna compared to previous parent characters.

it was a bit of a kick in the teeth for the doctor to have to watch her kiss him.. i mean, she could have waited till he'd gone.
Wow, that episode was cool. Davros looks weird, but kinda cool at the same time. I'm glad the doctor didn't actually regenarate into someone else, not yet anyway!
Shame Donna had to go, at least she didn't exactly DIE as such...
And i'm glad Rose had a happy ending! ;D

It's OK. They were shown in the 70's onwards...They are Cybermouses that can take control over peoples minds and can do a large amount of sabotage before anyone knows about it.
No, they were Cybermats.
Cybershades (or Cyberwraiths as I've seen them called) are a new sort of Cyberman due to appear in the Christmas Special. They're bronze, wear big black robes, and have funny shaped handles on their heads.
There's a picture of one on Planet Gallifrey's Blog. (http://planetgallifrey.blogspot.com/2008/04/christmas-special.html) (Warning, site contains possible spoilers and fan speculation. Don't click if you don't want to know.)
I just watched the episode again, and noticed something with what Donna was wearing. That ring... I hadn't seen it before this episode, but in the last scene where Donna is on the phone, her ring catches the light. She was obviously wearing it when the became the DoctorDonna, and actually touched his hand with her ring hand...
Maybe this is something that they can use to bring her back in some way in future episodes...but this is merely a theory of mine.
The Ring If you notice carefully belonged to the master, it falls of his burning body at the end of his final episode and a female hand picks it up, I originally thought that this would be his wife but it is a possibility it is doctor donna, due to the future complex that a time traveller has no coresponding time line as he/she interupts it at chance.
I loved that episode
Brilliant!
Just Brilliant!
But who will be the Doctor's companion for The Christmas Special!

No, it's not the same ring. The ring that falls off the Master is round, it's bigger and has the 'timelord symbols' around it.

No-one. Unless you count 'the other Doctor' and his companion, Rosita.
I just thought, what if the special was done with the Other Doctor in the parallel universe with Rose, but then, it's set in the Victorian Age, so I guess he cannot travel in time. But it would have explained about how the Cybermen were in without travelling across Universes.
Btw, the Cybermen are in the void, so it can't be Lumic's Parallel ones.

In the clip at the end of Journey's End I'm sure I saw the Cybus logo on the Cybermen, meaning they are the Parallel ones. Also, in the last episode, Rose said "Even the voids dead", so they could have escaped then. That could be a way to bring the Daleks back too, since the were all 'destroyed' yet again.
A lot of people will be dissapointed at that.
Not fair I want the original cybermen.
it was kinnda obviously they would be the parallel ones, seeing as the parallel universes were opened up again... though i'd have liked to have seen something new come through the from a parallel universe instead.. something from somewhere where all the laws of physics are completely different.. or something like that.. something you couldn't posibly expect with abilities you can'y comprehend..
still, maybe thats asking a bit much
I've been watching old 4th Doctor stories lately, and they're great. City of Death is as brilliant as the Classic fans say, and I watched The Seeds of Doom today, which was a bit lengthy (6 episodes), but really good.
Baker is honestly my favourite Doctor and I think Tennant draws a lot of his character from him.
From The Seeds of Doom:
"Are you leaving so soon, Doctor?"
"Why not? I have my toothbrush." *takes out toothbrush, grins, and runs off*

The only problem with creating creatures with powers that noone can comprehend is that the writer would have to be able to write/create them. In that way he'd need to be able to comprehend them and make them workable.. inorder to do that he'd had to base it on something within his knowledgeset.. and therefore ruined.
*lol* What I'd prefer is if they occasionally just got a complete differant design team to come in and do some 100% differant and off the wall aliens. It's really annoying at the moment where you can almost tell the same designers that worked on certain creatures. Maybe something completely alien to the show would be better?
The final episodes were fantastic. The Return of Davros, the Daleks invading a contemporary Earth, MASS reunion of companions. The reality bomb on the Cruicible looked a bit like the Death Star laser at parts.
And, as said, the German Daleks RULE.
(As for French Daleks, perhaps "EXTERMINEZ!" or "EXTERMINEZ VOUS!" ?)
Yeah, It's EXTERMINEZ!
God, I'm such a prat. On Saturday I said. "Looking forward to Doctor Who tonight?" Then I realised it wasn'ton. *shoots self*

Guess what, guys? Seems the 2008 Christmas special is based on the audio play "The One Doctor".
The Proms thing is in a few days I hear, with a short special (taking place in the TARDIS) with a "returning special guest". Recent rumours say Ace is returning! Either for the Proms special or a 2009 TV special.
Also, a bunch of reports were made on planetgallifrey, and among them, apparently...
- Ace (Sophie Aldred) is returning
- John Simm returns in a TV special
- The Sea Devils are returning! (this was confirmed, apparently)
...I'd paste the entire thing, but I'm on the Wii browser. Go check out the full thing if you're intriguie, my memory sucks.

Got a source for that? Planetgallifrey doesn't seem to have mentioned it.
And if you remember correctly, Moffat was the one who requested her to be kept alive. Which means she's returning in season 31 (series 5).
Cool I hope she is returning ;D
sprry to interrupt the wonderous xmas special n S5 speculation n discussion but i just got S3 on DVD and have been watching it through and... did anyone else notice the designs on Lazarus' walls and computer screens were an animated version of the design on the Masters ring? and another thing.. i dont know whether this has been mentionedb efore or not but did anyone think the Master had Lucy under his mind control from the weird way she acted?
oh yeah, i have to admit to only seeing a couple episodes from S4 but im guessing after Dalek Caan emergency temporal shifted from 30s Manhattan in S3 you didnt actually see him rescue old Davros from the time war? anyone else wishing theyd show what happened in the time war?
ok ok, thats me done for now
I think they've got to be careful if they show anything of the time war. Since it's pretty much the centre of Doctor Who, they need to plan it out well, before showing anything of it.

It's Gallifreyan traditional writing. The reason it was on Lazarus' walls is because the project appears to have been funded by the evil old Time Lord.
Sorry to ruin all this talk, but I was watching "The unquiet dead" S1 E3.
And Gwenth said "All those people rushing about. Half naked, for shame. And the noise... and the metal boxes racing past... and the birds in the sky... they're metal as well. Metal birds with people in them. People flying. And you - you've flown so far, further than anyone! The things you've seen... the darkness... the big bad wolf-- "
Now either that is a very long plan (unlikly because at this point she was not supposed to leave in season 2) or it is the biggest coinkydink in history

Umm... well, 'Bad Wolf' was the arc word for that series.. Cropping up in almost every episode, and being fully explained at the end!
DWM says that in the proms cutaway an old enemy returns, the Graske! In The Sarah Jane Adventures, the Brigadier is back!
Quote from: Latias Tamer on July 21, 2008, 13:25
I guess that bringing any of it back with the Doctor in, it would mean bringing back Paul Mcann, in whatever way is needed.
Would be nice, since the 8th Doctor was wasted for that crappy movie (Which I resaw recently. Its so un-Doctor Who... o.o). Maybe not a movie, but maybe a spin off series people would care about? An 8th Doctor Adventures Spin Off Series would be nice. :)

now they do...maybe they can make it more relevant..
NO posts on Music of the Spheres? Jesus. Great mini-episode, the concept was clever and the music theme was deep. Gotta love the Doctor using the 3rd's old trump card/excuse for everything.
RTD has stated that the Christmas special's title is comprised of three words that apparently "gives away too much". I'm betting it's 'The One Doctor', since that's the audio story this one's based off (albeit very loosely).
ALSO, rumours are still going strong that the Sea Devils and the Master (still John Simm) will be in the TV specials. If the latter is true, let's hope we get back the style of the Classic series Master.
OH OH OH, best piece of news yet: the Brigadier (sp?) is returning to Sarah Jane Adventures! Better yet, he rather badassedly kills a Sontaran with a gun hidden in his cane. Also, Harry Sullivan will be referenced. To me, this makes season two worth watching.
Oh, I forgot about Music of the Spheres. It really was great, as were the whole Doctor Who Proms. Loved the bit where the Graske went to Earth. Especially the "Albert Hall; you've got a Graske on the loose. And hes stolen my water pistol!" bit.
I wish I could of been there. Apparently, the 'Graske' was running around the place and sheets of music were thrown from above. Oh golly, how exciting.
So you wern't at the proms, well tune into to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHDKhWsPu1M The end credits music is from the olde series
Its official, Tennant has stepped down from the role. He ll leave after the specials.
Fun ride while it lasted... T.T
Aw, man. He was perfect for the role, too.
Damn. I;m listening to the video now ;-;
STAY DAMNIT ><
I don't think Doctor Who should have won the Drama award last night - it should of gone to Shameless
Oh dears... David's going D= These specials next year better be something pretttty awesome if it's David Tennant's last episodes...
GUYS
You're falling into the typecast trap D:
Tom Baker had the same image, and he had to leave too, so... y'know, just let Tennant leave ;.; He's been here for 3 seasons, it is about time we see a new regeneration.
By the way... the supposed Eighth Doctor special is pretty much unofficially confirmed now, right?
And Donna's supposedly being brought back my the Moff.

I was very shocked and disappointed when I heard this last night. He was such an awesome Doctor and it'll be sad to see him regenerate. I'll also be looking foreward to who the new Doctor will be. Let's just hope they give him a good regeneration. =p

You must be joking. James May should be the best Doctor. He's got that inventorish eccentricity that the Doctor has.
And personally, I'm glad to see Tennant go. He was a good Doctor, granted, but I didn't care too much for his ambivalence, and he seemed to stick around too long. I liked Eccleston better. He had the Time War hardened Doctor that I did like, and when he did smile, it was nice to see his attitude change.
Sniff.....goodbye David...best Doctor ever.... :'(
But it'll be exciting to see who the new Doctor will be. ^.^
He'd better be good >:(

He'd better be hunky.
Apologies if I offend you with my "tar everyone with the same brush" attitude. I still think that Tennant was far too ambivalent for his own good, and the only reason that so many people liked him is because he was "hunky". I do apologise again if this isn't why you think he was the best Doctor ever, or if anyone disagrees with my opinion.
I mean, he was very wacky, yet he seemed to be able to snap into "if you do
x to
<insert race here> I'll
<insert threat here> you. Whereas Eccleston was very moody, angsty. He'd just fought the Time War, seen his entire race wiped out, killed numerous Daleks, and he's stuck by himself. He has grown cynical of the Human race. When he does smile, or act funny, it's a nice, almost special moment, almost like this dark cloud does have a silver lining.
I still want James May to be the next Doctor. He's eccentric enough to be one.
Quote from: PKMN Trainer Richie on October 31, 2008, 19:52
Oh Gosh, I hope not.
I'm
THE DOCTOR and
THIS is my
TARDIS.
She weighs one hundred fifty kilograms and fires two hundred dollar, custom-tooled cartridges at ten thousand rounds per minute.
I loved Tennant, yet I did not find him hunky.
I found him funny at the best times, and I was interested in watching Doctor Who. When Eccleston was the Doctor, I hated the show. I found him boring, uninteresting and too serious for me to connect with. It wasn't until Tennant was introduced that I liked it.
This is coming from someone who hasn't watched any of the older series. I'm assuming you have? That would give us a varied opinion on what the Doctor should be like.
I hope the next Doctor does a better job than Eccleston and is interesting in their own way without being like Tennant. Variety is good.
I'll admit that Tennant had specs appeal.
mm, I quite like Tennat as the doctor... but I really liked Eccleson as well... maybe I was remembering him in other stuff... still, he was.. fantastic. And making fun of this ears. Yay : D
He was, in a sense, a different kind of doctor... and that was portrayed in his acting, having lived through the time war and being alone etc.. yes.
Is RTD leaving the same time about as tennant?
True, true. Every Doctor is different in his own way.
As for RTD...I'm not sure if he's leaving. I know that he is, just not sure when he's leaving.

Series 5 from what I heard. o.o
Well I grew more on David Tennant than Christopher Eccelstone, since he'll have been around for 3 series, but I still liked Eccelstone alot and was dissopointed when he regenerated. I found his mixed attitude very amusing and would have liked to see more of him. No other Doctor lasted just one series...
I found David halarious in the way that he always seemed to crack a joke, even when the world was on the brink of distruction...and I'll miss that bit mostly...
:dry: This is really depressing. It's like being told we're not going to Disney. Or I'm not going to get another brother...
...Less than two months till the next one! I'm getting bored with Tennant, but at the same time I don't want to have a new Doctor that I don't like. Like, a normal one. Or one like Oscar O0

Well, the odds are on Paterson Joseph, Robert Carlyle and James Nesbitt to take the role. Personally, I want Nesbitt, I saw him in Jekyll, and he was pretty awesome.

On a related matter, anyone see Tom Baker on Have I Got News For You? XD
YES xDD he was awesome
On the concept of dissolving gold into plasma:
Paul Merton: "Did you ever try that?"
Tom Baker: "I think I did, in The Sontaran Experiment."
Paul Merton: "How did that go?"
Tom Baker: "****ing disaster."
Well the Christmas Special is called The Next Doctor, DWM is my source. So, could it be Neil Morrisey
It's already been confirmed as not happening.
RachelPiplupLover, I was telling the truth, Robert Carlyle, Paterson Joseph and James Nesbitt are all being considered.

I would submit myself to the belief David Tennant is leaving in the Christmas Special, had it not been for the fact that the 5th series is being delayed a year because Tennant has a role in Shakespeare play, Hamlet.
Besides, wouldn't it be better if they made it a surprise, like before the 16 year gap?

Isn't the Christmas Special about a fake Doctor, not a new one? Because (and it certainly seems this way) it's apparently (loosely) based on the audio drama 'The One Doctor', which involved a fake Doctor and companion, much like what we're getting now (and fake Cybermen!). And going by the shots from the episode, Morrisey's Doctor doesn't have a proper TARDIS...
No, I think Morrisey's character just
believes that he's a man called
"The Doctor".
Quote from: tardis.wikia.com
The Doctor steps happily out of the TARDIS. He has recovered from the events of his latest adventure, and is surprised to find himself in 1851 Christmas Eve.
As people mill and sing carols, The Doctor is suprised to hear a loud scream: "DOCTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!" He begins to run only to find a Rosita young black woman down an alleyway screaming, a door stands in front of her, she continues to scream for the Doctor, much to the bewilderment of the Doctor, as another man runs to meet her. The Doctor asks the man who he is.
He replies: "I'm the Doctor. Simply the Doctor. The one. The only. And the best" Then he takes a regular screwdriver from the woman Rosita, calling it the Sonic Screwdriver and opens the door. A beast with the body of a ghost and the head of a Cyberman pops out. Rosita stares as the two Doctors raise two sonic screwdrivers, look at each other, and simultaneously say: "Allons-y!", much to the Doctor's frantic irritation.
Also, The Sun newspaper in the UK has reported David Morrissey will be playing The Doctor in this episode with David Tennant taking the companion role.The BBC's official Doctor Who website, has confirmed that David Morrissey is playing a character that calls himself The Doctor.Given that it is confirmed there are two Doctors, both with a TARDIS and that these are the Cybus Cybermen, it would seem that The Doctor has either crossed back into Pete's World or the Cybus Cybermen have gained new technology and are being chased down by a 'Pete's world Doctor'.
That, or some clever twist we never thought of...
this maybe old news but...
A Doctor who thing in Glasgow next year, I saw a poster for it.
If you watch the CIN preview clip, David Morrisey's 'sonic screwdriver' is just a regular screw driver, leading me to believe he's pretending to be the Doctor. As well as similar hair styles and his 'companion' ...'Rosita' (Pretending to symbolise Rose), then he may just be a false Doctor.

As I've been saying all along... D: The concept's based loosely off The One Doctor, a Sixth Doctor audio drama.
I can't wait 'till the Christmas special! I've heard that there won't be a new Doctor Who series this year (except specials) but don't believe it. I just want to be 100% sure, is that true? Sorry if its already been answered. I just can't be botherd to look through the whole topic.

Aww...I was looking forward to the new series all year! :(
You still have the specials next year. Sea Devils and the Return of the Master have been rumored to appear...
When are the special on?
Tbh, for the specials, I'd hope for them to concentrate on things that have happened in the past series, which specifically have something to do with Tennant's character.
Firstly...In series 3, The Doctor and Martha visited William Shakespeare in episode two. At the end of the episode, Queen Elizabeth appears saying, "Doctor! My sworn enemy!". I'd hope that one of the specials would be based upon that, since it's an event that happened while he was in this form.
Secondly, I'd like to see something done with River Song. It seems to be a long term thing, over more than one form of the Doctor's regeneration,from what was said in the two episodes...yet she recognised that he was an early Doctor, saying "Judging from your face, it's early days...", going on the suggest a couple of things they did while he was in Tennant's form.

I know this off the wall, but there's one thing that would allow it to be another form. It's been mentioned in the show that Time Lords always recognize one another, and Steven Moffat might decide to bring back The Rani. After all, Russell T Davies is going to bring back The Meddling Monk....

This might upset some people, but from the Wikiqoute talk page for the Tenth Doctor,
QuoteOkay, I've just re-watched "Silence in the Library", and although the subtitles say "Oh! Life of a time traveller, never knew it could be such hard work." In fact, River is saying "Oh! Wife of a time traveller, never knew it could be such hard work."
btw, about the specials...
QuoteActor Patrick Stewart may also appear in the 2009 specials, playing the renegade Time Lord, The Monk. At least one source believes that "the BBC has offered him the role and are willing to wait for Stewart's schedule to clear". Stewart could therefore appear in either the specials or the 2010 series.
Doctor Who Magazine said David wants to see the Zygons return so Doctor Who may bring them back in his final episode.
According to a newspaper in mid 2008 it claimed The Master will return and will have fight to the death with The Doctor.
Anyways, have this ten pound note.

My mum and I do not, I repeat,
do not want David Morrisey to be the next Doctor.
Hear out my theory...
Doctor 2 may have heard of our Doctors adventures, and maybe the Doctor lost a Sonic Screwdriver, and when the Cybermen arrive, he's going to play Mr. Hero and be the Doctor. But he's got his records wrong, because Rose no longer exists in our universe, and he is playing the hero with his little Rosita. And our Doctor just gets confused.
<<
>>
Pretty nifty Special I thought. Always had doubts over Morrissey being the next Doctor and I wasnt disappointed over the way he was revealed as not being the Doctor. Still, he was pretty good.
Cybermen werent bad. I thought them marching through the graveyard in the snow was a nice touch. Cybershades were pretty cool, they sort of reminded me of angry dogs, a nice touch there. Evil chick was good, interesting how she was able to take control over the Cybermen after converting her into the Cyber "King" (Though I was hoping for a bit more of a transformation then just something on her head). Giant Cyberman was alright, but a bit surpricing.
So yeah, enjoyed it. :) The idea that Cybermen got out of the void pretty much opens more possible Dalek and/or Cybermen stories.
As for the next special, oooo, Planet of the Dead. Sounds interesting.

Allons-y Alonso!
*shot
Cybershades were awesome and i want one
Giant Cyberman was very steampunk, which made it auto-cool
I don't like how they didn't explain the Cybershades.. unless i just wasn't paying attention..
Those metal things that made whats his name think he was the doctor.. was on one hand clever, but on the other.. i think poorly done.. i think that information transfer could have been a lot better.. you know?
The female companion type person was annoying and poinless and did very little.. she seemed to just be there so whats his name had someone to talk down to to show ho un-doctor he was..
CyberKing was a but weird.. what was going on there? when she was fully human.. she was worse than when she was part Cyberman.. and i could have understood if the Cybermen had some kind of mind control over her, but it was the other way round.. wasn't it?
again, possibly just me not paying attention <<
Oh.. and this whole 'we trapped them in this thing they can never get out of except they did anyway' thing is getting really old.. theres always a 'we can't go there any more' or 'they can't get out of that' or 'they're deffinatly all dead now' .. but it never actually is like that... and im starting to wonder what the point of even saying it is anymore..
yes..
i liked it, don't get me wrong XD
^ I have to agree on your "They're definitely dead...well, not really. A few escaped" point. The Giant Cyberman was pretty awesome, and I thought that the kids were being taken to be upgraded. Turns out they avoided such an awful fate.
Quote from: Winston Payne on December 26, 2008, 00:34

I would
want to be upgraded, provided I could keep my mind like Lumic did.
Anyway, I don't think the Cybermen coming back can ever be 'old'. Unlike the Daleks, who are an actual species and once destroyed completely they could never come back (but they keep writing in one or two who survive), Cybermen are literally just humans who have had their brain and nervous system cut out and placed in a cybernetic body. That body has been invented by two people now, once by whoever did it before and once by Lumic in the parallel earth. There is nothing to stop some genius making Cybermen again, even if they were completely annihilated.
Cybermen > Daleks
Does anyone know where I can get a gaint cyperman thing like the Cybermen had?
Not true, Stuffman. The original Cybermen were organic aliens from Mondas IIRC
Oh right, I apologise then. But the fact remains that the current incarnation could indeed be reinvented by someone else.
I really liked last nights special. I was supprised when I found out that guy wasn't going to be the new doctor. o_O I thought that he was going to be the new doctor but obviously not. Anyone mind telling me when the next Doctor Who episode (Planet Of The Dead) is on?
2010.
I wonder what it's going to be about. A planet of zombies, or a planet with metaphorically dead creatures?
I guessd that, but what exact date is it on?
Don't think anybody knows when it's on to that extent. Unless ALK has some juicy tidbit of info that I've missed?

Are you sure it's 2010? I thought that, rather than doing a series in 2009, they were going to instead to several one-off specials (like the Christmas one) scattered throughout the year.

I thought it was meant to be because of what happened at the end of last series. The Cybermen were sucked into the void with the Dalek's..but Rose said "Even the void is dead", when she came over.
Also, did anyone watch the Doctor Who proms earlier on BBC1. It was fantastic, and they even had a mini episode that worked with the proms. You can watch it on youtube or on the Doctor Who website

no, that'd just be too good..
mmm, am interested to see who it is though.. shall have to try and remember to watch it
Ooh, very excited about this indeed. I'm exactly keen on James Nesbitt, but I'd survive I'd supose. Talk about John Simm is rediculous, since he's already played a major character. The same with the Alonso from the Titanic episode, which has been a rumor. Will be tuning in with much intent. =p
It has to be Jeremy Kyle, he was made for the part.

Hm...
"I'm The Doctor and this is MY show! You want to convert the human race into Cybermen, then get off my stage, darling!"
It would be travesty if the Doctor was female; I think that the only woman I could bear being the doctor would be Jennifer Saunders because she is /amazing/. But apart from that, I want that James Nesbitt person as the next Doctor. He did a fantastic job in Jekyll, so why not in this?
This'll probably end up being my last post before I get banned for having an opinion so let's get on it.
If it's a woman, I'll probably stop watching. I'm not sexist, but it would just wreck the whole template of Doctor Who and I will be one of the many vying for Moffat's head.
I don't normally watch Doctor Who but I will watch to see who the new doctor is. I didn't like Tennant, but the one before was rather good. Apparently it was going to be a girl, but now it isn't and it is most likely to be a black man according to the Sun, but you never know. Me and my brother are hoping for Dawn French or James May :)
James May? O_o I highly doubt it would be him... I'd prefer him to a woman though any day. That would spoil Doctor Who and I would proably stop watching it. It would be weird for a man to regenerate into a woman.
You what be funny?
if it was Hannah montana.

It's not a girl, but the youngest man ever for the Doctor, so clues there perhaps?
That guy from High school musical maybe, That is just stupid.
What guy? Zac Efron? Besides, whoever you are talking about, won't be the next Doctor. I know he certainly wouldn't.

Too famous. It is someone who isn't that famous I think. And maybe he is too young perhaps. It could be Richard Hammond...
^ You like Top Gear don't you?
Am I the only one who knows who the new doctor is and has never heard of him before?
I'm not going to watch it, he seems crap...
Quote from: Deoxys2 on January 03, 2009, 17:57
^ You like Top Gear don't you?
Yeah, Hammond's new show is on after this as well so woo!
I found out out who the New doctor is..... Matt Smith.
and who is he?
So, Matt Smith anyone?
What's with all the yay Matt Smith and aww I miss David Tennant? I don't even watch/like Doctor Who and I know that John Sergeant or Matt Damon should have been the new doctor.
It is a total outrage.
Can't say that I m angry. Think it should be a interesting choice.
Yay to the slightly unknowns... =D
Who is Matt Smith? I have no idea who he is, but I do know he has a very good name... ;)
What wikipedia was made for ;P (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Smith_(British_actor))
Four words that sum up my opinion: I'm not convinced yet.
A complete unknown but I suppose that is better than having someone like David Walliams.
He'll have a heck of a job trying to better David Tennant (My fave Doctor)
Hmm, it'll be interesting to see how the regeneration will take place.
Who's taking bets on Daleks or Cybermen having something to do with it? XD
There goes the Brian Blessed theory I was sticking to so faithfully >:
I missed Ruby In The Smoke, which he was in, so I don't know what he's like, but on the plus side he's from Northampton. That makes two people from here I can think of who have become somewhat famous. Hurrah!
Anyway, I'm sure that whatever he's like, that's what the Doctor will become, instead of him trying to be like the Doctor. Which is possibly the point. Yay o.o
If he wasn't a good actor he wouldn't have been picked... right? D:
I don't know if this is a spoiler, but seeing as its already been pasted all over tv and the internet....
He's already said he's leaving after one series. How pathetic, are they just wasting Doctors?
This was announced by the BBC, so don't you dare accuse me of spreading spoilers.
Thats a bit pointless. The again, Christopher Eccleston (or whatever his name is) quit after his first series.
(http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/45343000/jpg/_45343466_newdocotr226.jpg)
He'll be replacing his hairstyle with something you can look at without cringing, right?
^ That made me laugh!:D I know what you mean though, his hair is disturbing me. Tennant looked so much better than that. Well, at least his hair was.

Would you care to link the article?
Well I think it's good that he's not so well known. It means that he'll be known more as the Doctor when he gets older. Someone like David Tennant was so popular and well known, that he's well known for many other roles as well.
At the start I wasn't too sure on him, but if RTD has a good impression of him, then he's gotta be good... =D

Nope, nothing on his Wiki page about leaving after 1 season.

Maybe someone edited it so it looked like he leaves after one series.
I hope this means he isn't leaving soon. I swear it said he would leave because he didn't want to be typecast.
If he did want to leave to avoid being typecast, then why apply for the role?
Exactly, and the fact he haven't even filmed 1 scene makes me doubt this 1 Season claim. :dry:
Quote from: Snagar on January 03, 2009, 21:21

How can you be typecast by playing The Doctor? It's a unique role. Nothing really is similar to it, therefore it's difficult to become typecast through it. Anyway, I won't believe it until I hear about it from an official source.
Anyway, I think he looks okay. Should be interesting, but I'll lose respect for him if he IS just another quitter - timelords supposedly have finite regenerations - The Master has had more than should be allowed, but only because he appealed to some timelord council or something - The Doctor obviously can't do that. I mean, they can probably write in more regenerations, but these actors are wasting the ones they already have. They shouldn't be forced to rewrite the rules just yet, simply because people get bored with the part. That's one reason I like Tennant, he's stuck with it.

Assuming this is true, then it would seem he doesn't want to known as 'The Doctor'. Seriouly, if he does leave I could kill RTD. Keep someone that isn't going to quit before the series has started for god's sake!
Not up to RTD anymore, its Steven Moffat come Season 5.
I actually quite like his ridiculous hair. He probably uses it to taunt bald people.
It'll probably get cut, anyway.
Anyhoo, Faf linked me to the DW confidential interview (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Zog-6SrGxE0) [UK only], if it hasn't been posted already. I didn't see it in this topic, at least o.o

Interesting choice, he was good in
Ruby In The Smoke so I look forward to see his version of the Doctor.
that picture is aweful.. theres a better one somewhere..

hes no lesbian, but he'll do
=P
hes unexpected and refreshing.. i dunno.. erm, seems to be a bit of a.. 'dork' .. for want of a better word
i hope he'll be sticking to that colour scheme :>
i am still waiting for someone to say 'OMG does he sparkle!? lololololol'
no, he seems alright though, seriously.. though we'll know for sure next year, i guess
Quote from: Angelic Lapras King on January 03, 2009, 22:06
Not up to RTD anymore, its Steven Moffat come Season 5.
Is he stepping down from being the Headwriter then?
Pretty much, after the specials.
Thats a shame. =( I always thought he was good as the writer.
But Moffat wrote The Girl in the Fireplace, Blink, Silence in the Library, The Empty Child [& the rest of their 2-parters etc].. most of my favourite episodes. Even if they're not favourites, they're good episodes.
Well, for me s:
If he's head writer, then the series will probably start being a bit more like that. A bit more... creepy? Bizarre. Unnerving. Quirky~ But I'd be expecting the good humour etc that makes it a family show :v yeah.
I loved Blink, though I had to watch it from the top of the stairs at a few points. I thought it was really clever c:
Not that every episode that isn't Moffat is rubbish, of course: I loved Father's Day and Human Nature/The Family Of Blood, for one.
Oh, and The Impossible Planet. And others I forget.
Still. We'll see how he does.
I'm not an avid fan so I can't really speak from... well, experience, I guess o0 Haven't watched much of the older series.
Yes.
I DON'T WANT DAVID TENNANT TO LEAVE!!! WAAAAHHH! :'(
*ahem*
i guess the new Docotor looks promising......
Guys! Just to remind you, the Doctor Who Easter special is on this Saturday at 6:45pm on BBC1! Don't miss it!
Don't worry, Richard, I remember. ;) You saved me from having to bother to find this topic to post in it. I've got it ready to be recorded on my Sky Planner. Can't wait. <3 It's called Planet Of The Dead.
I'm looking forward to it, but I really am hoping they pick up some loose ends in the next specials. Such as the Queen Elizabeth recognising The Doctor in seires 2...and River Song obviously meeting the Doctor again...since from her reaction, she had met him in that form before...
^ Yes, I remember those events. I thought they would follow on from the Queen Elizabeth event much sooner, but they didn't. D:
Is there going to be any more specials?
Quote from: Latias Tamer on April 09, 2009, 10:53

Yes, it's hard to see how she'll come in given that RTD recently confirmed that the Doctor's companion for the last two specials will, in fact, be Wilf. Yes, I'm surprised too.
Quote from: Golem2 on April 09, 2009, 10:56

Well... it's possible that his meeting with Elizabeth may take place outside any particular episode.
Well, the Elizabeth thing could easily happen in any future book or audio play.
Woo, even more Sci-Fi goodness (The other being Red Dwarf =D)
whoo 20 days to go oh yes.
If you want to know what it is in 20 days.
In glasgow there is a Doctor who thing on.
It's on tomorrow guys! Don't miss it, as I know I won't... =|
River Song could be explained simply by the fact she seemed to know him so well.. and will obviously have seen him with different faces and personality quirks.. perhaps she just thought that regeneration was one she's not personally come across yet..
Hmm.. the trailer for tomorrows episode reminded me of a film.. with Vin Diesel in i believe.. Pitch Black? something like that
should be good anyway =P
"He will knock 4 times"
Anyone thinking what I'm thinking? Knock= the drums? =D
Either way, good special.
That was good. ^^
Still wanna know what the tadpole things are called.
Also, the "He we return from the dark" thing, is definately The Master....

Yes, and if everyone who has the Series 4 boxset rewatches "The Stolen Earth" and "Journey's End", as well as the deleted scenes for "Journey's End", they'll be able to notice a ring on Donna's finger, if they look closely enough.
I was slightly confused as to why the Doctor's Tardis needed to be delivered to him at the end......was it so they could do the bit with Him and Christina could have the 'can I come with you' bit infront of the Tardis? =p
Btw, the end with bit with the psychic woman... she said 'it is returning' not 'he is returning'...though she then says 'he will knock 4 times'...I'm thinking that there will be a knock on the Tardis door over the next few episodes...
Very good episode though... Loved Lee Evans...so hope he makes a return some time. =D
I think they said there'd be more hints in the next ep.

Possession. People don't usually remember things that happen under possession. Also, They let Astrid die when we didn't expect it, and The Master would probably prefer it for Donna to die. I mean, companions have died before.
Nah, I don't think Donna will return. I was watching the commentry version of the final episode with Julie Gardener and Russell T Davies, and they were saying about how some of the producers wanted her to listen to the TARDIS engines for a second, but she comments. 'But why would she?' and continues on about how Donna can't return or recognise anything. I think it'll be a bit odd for one companion to 'impossibly return', since they've already done that with Rose. Bring Martha back...and Jack and Mickey...but no one else. =p
great episode, wish all could be like that.
I personally loved the bus driver. He was the definition of pure awesomeness! O0

....
Then again she paled in comparison to Donna. Missing her :'(
Here's a radical theory; what if the Midnight entity was in fact the disembodied consciousness of the Master?
Yeah I didn't really like Christina either.. nothing against the actress, the character was just annoying xD I'm glad she isn't the new assistant. I wanted Malcom to be the new assistant ;_;
Well, it'd be different.
There's still about 10/20 minutes right in the middle I haven't watched yet.. very annoying xD I'm not entirely sure why it took the Swarm so long to reach the wormhole after the bus o.o they were right behind it. And they didn't really look like they were flying fast enough to rip a hole in the fabric of space. Thought the creatures were very cool though, yus.
Thought it was a very good episode altogether. Not long with Tennant left ;_; -sad-

I'm glad that she wasn't made auto-assistant also.. I assumed that she would be, so I was a bit "meh"... and then was relieved when the doctor snubbed her... and a little amused.
I agree that Donna is my favourite "new" assistant so far.. though I watched Journey's End on iPlayer yesterday and her chance of rejoining was shown to be slightly impossible, so ah well.
then again, they kept making rose do the impossible over and over .__.
those swarming things were adorable D: I liked the design... machiny-skeletony-manta-ray...y.
I kinda guessed that the sand would be dead things [didn't guess why, no]... though that would be due to the title of the episode so not that amazing.
Still. I'm rooting for Matt Smith... because he is from my home town... it's sort of a legal requirement that I have to support him being the Doctor :v

Potential spoilers for upcoming specials (after The Waters of Mars):
Donna is supposedly visited by the Master during the finale/two-part special. The Master (still played by John Simm) will be wearing a mask (holding a mask?) at some point (which is probably to protect his identity as Mr Saxon), and rumour has it the two work together during the story. Also, Donna is getting married again, although apparently not to the Master. A lot of this is confirmed from set reports and photos. My guess is that the Master will arrive at Donna's house, knock on the door four times (with the trademark drum beat), Donna will answer and the plot will carry on from there. Wonder what he has in mind this time? Donna as insurance the Doctor won't try to harm him?
Those spoilers REALLY made my evening.
Thank you SO much *hugs*
Another Celeb Villain Alert! (http://uk.tv.yahoo.com/blog/article/185315/)

I mean, companions have died before.
4 (plus astrid) have companions (that have been in the tardis) have PERMINANTLY DIED
Katarina dies in "The Traitors", the fourth episode of The Daleks' Master Plan, when she opens the airlock of a spaceship and is blown out into space while trying to protect her friends from the insane Kirkson.
Sara Kingdom dies in "Destruction of Time", the twelfth and final episode of The Daleks' Master Plan, when she undergoes extreme aging as an unfortunate side-effect of the First Doctor activating a "Time Destructor" device in order to defeat the Daleks.
Adric dies at the end of Episode 4 of Earthshock in the explosion of a bomb-laden space freighter in Earth's atmosphere.
Kamelion, an android companion, is destroyed by the Fifth Doctor in Episode 4 of Planet of Fire as an act of mercy after Kamelion is taken over by the Master.
Astrid Peth sacrifices herself in order to kill Max Capricorn by driving him into a reactor core at the end of "Voyage of the Damned". The Tenth Doctor partially resurrects her and sends her atoms flying into space.
Peri Brown's death is depicted in episode 8 of The Trial of a Time Lord, as having been killed by King Yrcanos upon his discovering that her brain has been replaced by that of Kiv, a member of the Mentor race.[48] However, episode 14 of The Trial of a Time Lord revealed that Peri had not been killed after all and had instead become Yrcanos' consort, although it is not explained how the brain transplant was undone or even if it actually occurred as several incidents depicted in the arc are revealed to have been fabricated by the Valeyard.
Susan Foreman and Romana are implied to have died by the events of "Rose" in the Doctor's personal chronology as the Doctor is said to be the last of the Time Lords following the events of the Time War. Susan is left on 22nd century Earth by the First Doctor in The Dalek Invasion of Earth after she falls in love with David Campbell, whilst Romana chooses to remain in E-space to help the Tharils at the end of Warrior's Gate.
Grace Holloway and Chang Lee die in the 1996 television movie when they are killed by the Master. However they are soon revived by the TARDIS's link to the Eye of Harmony.
Jack Harkness is killed by Daleks in "The Parting of the Ways" but is soon after brought back to life, and inadvertently given immortality, by Rose Tyler during her "Bad Wolf" manifestation. (He then goes on to die a number of times, both on and off screen-but is able to come back to life.)
Rose Tyler is trapped in the parallel universe in "Doomsday" while trying to save the world from a war between Daleks, Cybermen and humans. The Doctor tells her that she has been declared dead in her original universe. Like Peri, however, she does not die in actuality, and the Doctor later tells Donna Noble that Rose is "so alive".
K-9 Mark III sacrifices himself in "School Reunion" in order to save the Doctor and his friends from a group of aliens. Technically, however, this model of K-9 was never officially a companion of the Doctor, having only been given to Sarah Jane Smith in the spin-off K-9 and Company, the subsequent K-9 Mark IV that the Doctor leaves with Sarah Jane tells her that his (Mark III's) files have been transferred to the new machine.
Sarah Jane Smith and Martha Jones die from oxygen starvation in "Turn Left" when the Royal Hope hospital is transported to the Moon, whilst Donna Noble is hit by a truck later in the episode. However, these events do not happen once the timeline is fixed.

donna is the master! human master, like in series 3! GREAT plot twist, and the ring is like a stopwatch

never heard that before
the rings are different anyway, so it is not a good one once checking
^ The Rani's ring she used to wear is quite similar though...
Anyhow, I can't wait 'till the new series.
Oh, and Davros is more than likely alive and survived the destruction of the Crucible. Read this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davros).
Read the last sentence of the article "Return". It says something about Russel doesn't want to be the one to kill off one of the Doctor's greatest foes. But anyone could have edited that... But dunno why they would put that, so it probably is true.
Good news, everybody! The BBC has announced that Scottish actress Karen Gillan will play the Eleventh Doctor's companion. Karen previously appeared in "The Fires of Pompeii", as a member of the Sibylline Sisterhood. Read the BBC's announcement here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2009/05_may/29/who.shtml).
Ha good what they said on the bbc is very true, she is very pretty and scottish ^.^
Well a load of news has come through about the next series of Doctor Who, featuring Matt Smith and Karen Gillan.
- Filming has started, so if you're a mental fan, you'll drive around the streets of Cardiff until you find them on set. =p
- The companion will be known as Amy Pond
- The Doctor's new look has been revealed...

Now thats were i wasn't. I'm pretty glad its quite old and light. For i have heard that the series was going to be really dark and i was dreading it. But now it seems it was all just talk.
it seems that the doctors get younger but their clothes get older q:
I was expecting something darker as well, but hey ho :v
if it's anything like the previous moffat episodes then i'll be a happy bean.
also I just misread "Amy Pond" as "An iPod". TWICE.
^ His suit sort of resembles Mr.Beans aswell so you will be a happy bean.
Very undecided on the outfit. I miss Tennant's outfit. T.T
This series is going to make me sad...
Matt Smith totally doesn't look the part, the writing is going to take a massive dive, 'Amy Pond' is a name reserved for a CBeebies presenter and The Doctor should be good-looking not... Well... That. *points at Smith*
What the.... he better not last long or I will throw my 50 pound darvos at the tv
I can't believe everyone's slating him before he's actually done any filming. We haven't actually seen him in character yet. << I think, like all the previous Doctor's...he'll be fantastic! They were very careful about who they picked, so I would expect good things from him. =p

Come on. Only 1 or 2 of the doctors have been attractive.

Exactly, he's got to be better than the last one. IMO David Tennant was an awful doctor, hence why I don't really watch it anymore.
I wish him the best of luck with it =]
I think he will succeeded and if he doesn't they could always draft me in to play him.

You'd probably fit the part better. <.<
No! Our English/Drama teacher should play him! He is scottish, tall, skinny and GINGER! The doctor has never been ginger! And he is really doctorish in real life anyway!
Ginger...haha how The Doctor whishes he was. I'm a failed as The Doctor, I could allways play The Master. >=D

Personally, I think that Sylvester McCoy was the most Doctorish, although, really, the only Doctor who looked bad was Colin Baker. I quite like Matt's look, although I'm not quite sure why. Maybe it's because the shirt is styled a little like David Tennant's, and the colour is strangely soothing.
Here's his outfit in full (http://www.iaza.com/work/090723C/The_doctor68091.jpg) if it makes any difference.

What do you define as 'Doctorish'... They've said loads of times, that each Doctor is a different Doctor. Each having their own personality, attitude and look. I don't think there really is a set style for the Doctor to play...

srsly, this Matt Smith does NOT suit the Doctor imo. At least the other's looked smart enough. Rolled up trousers? TWEED?
BOWTIE?!.
srsly wth.
I don't like the look of him. As soon as the next Doctor image was released I was all 'nowai i'm going to watch doctor who anymore *clings to dt episodes*
Amy Pond? okay what type of a name is THAT.
do not want.

i'm sure he'll be awesome in his acting and pass off the look as eccentricities.. yes.

Eccleston was miles better than Tennant as a Doctor imo. ^^
I think he'll be okay though; who cares about the appearance? It's only clothing, no one moaned because Tennant wore converse did they? He can wear what he wants, he's still the Doctor, and people should give him a chance.

But dressing a 20-year-old up in Tom Baker's clothing from when he was 40 doesn't make a Doctor. It just makes a nerd with a huge forehead.

But any Doctor is a Doctor; that's why they are picked to do it. You can just judge him by first looks like that; you have to give him a chance. Doctor's don't get their reputations from their dress-code; if they did then not many people would like Doctor Who at all imo. You get the reputation by acting well (or badly), and for making the position your own.

Mate... did you actually just quote yourself there...
I agree with you, I was just thinking that it woulda been better to try and distance themselves as much as possible from the Dave Tennant look.
e.g. Chris Ecclestone (Leather jacket bad-guy look) -> David Tennant (usually in suits) -> Matt (smart jacket and bow-tie)
For me the contrast isn't there
I quoted myself to reiterate my point, I don't think anyone read it before =P
And yeah, I completely agree, there's nothing wrong with the way he's dressed.
It's mostly his giant forehead that throws me off, but dressing a 27-year-old like an crotchety old man just really doesn't work. Besides, did River Song not say to the Tennant Doctor "this is the youngest I've seen you?" Unless she was talking about his dress-sense, I really don't think Matt Freshfromschool Smith fits the part.

Of course, they could have met while the Doctor was in another incarnation, only it wasn't filmed.
Hey, DW novelists! Write that!
Also, Eleven totally got his outfit off Indiana Jones. Look at the parts of the films where Jones is teaching archaeology. His outfit is very similiar to Eleven's.

AND OH MY GOD. Just watched the End of Time trailer!!!
The Master. Oh god, they so didn't do him justice in Season 3 imo, now they have such a good chance...
Also, did I see Donna Noble there? Huzzah~
End of Time though...possibility of rewriting all history so as to allow the plot writers to overlook how few daleks / cybermen / classic Dr. Who villains there are left in the world and allow them to all come marching back in HD glory? ooh, *fanboys*
EDIT: The Master is...blonde? Can things get any BETTER?!
Screw Donna, anyone see the Ood? =D
A chance for more mindless Ood misuse! XD

Possibility that The Master could have something to do with the devil that was in the first episode that the Ood were in? They both control stuff psychically. :S
And screw Donna!? SCREW DONNA?! I loved her, I'm glad she's coming back.
But in the same way, I'm sort of not...I liked how crushing the final episode was when she would NEVER know who he was.
However, the ring sparkle at the end sort of gave away she'd be returning and have something to do with the Master. Oh, the excitement. <3
QuoteAnd screw Donna!? SCREW DONNA?! I loved her, I'm glad she's coming back.
Aye, but we knew that for awhile now. Ood, we didnt know, and the Master was somewhat speculated. ;P

you know its only right

Just type Doctor Who The End of Time into Youtube. ;) The trailer's low quality, as it was a fan recording at Comic Con, but you can see the Ood and those red eyes of theirs in it (There's a close up one somewhere)

You mean the 'The End of Time'... =p
Very, very interesting trailer there. =p Donna and WILFRED are back...Yay! More John Simm, though who's face was that at the end? Was that meant to be The Masters regeneration or someone else?
I'm glad they brought John Simm back he was an awesome master.
Is this on the BBC website yet? That's when I'll believe it 100%.
The BBC website confirms that the Master is back & confirms that some a trailer was shown for at the convention that this trailer confirms to be from. I'd say this is genuine. ;D
As much as I'm holding my breath about Matt Smith & the new 'bowtie' costume (betting the bowtie gets dropped 5 eps in) as I didn't give enough credit to David Tennant who eventually put in some amazing performances... we'll have to see how he ACTS. As with Tenant, I can forgive a lot if the actor playing the Doctor can portray the 'aged travellor' despite his looks.

Interesting logo... dunno why they had to change it.
Could be a grower...
Curtis: it's a bit plain, if you ask me...
Well, that episode was absolutely amazing! The darkness of it all was harrowing, but in a good way, and the whole 'this happens in the future', I find endlessly fascinating. And the preview of "The End of Time" was epic win.
Ooh, missed the first 20 mins or so, but the Doctor became a little bit evil by trying to be too good? O.O Glad to see the Master will be back, such a charming chap.
Well that was good!
I was half expecting him to either blow up the base himself as they tried to escape, or be able to save them only to have the captain blow it up anyway because of what he told her.. so the ending threw me entirely xD
Was sad to see the crew dropping one by one :c and David Tennant was well creepy when he was walking across the surface of Mars in the space suit.. the lighting made his face look like a skull.
The Doctor is losing hiw marbles, hurray :D
I'm curious about the Christmas episode.. hard to tell what's going on. But hello Master!
Well that was interesting. Now I see how this episode's importance with Tennant's end, the fact he defies the laws of time as he's the only time lord, tries to change history and so on. And now even he is trying to avoid his own death.
As for the episode, not bad. Can't say it was the best, but I like how it turned around when the Doctor was like "Stuff time laws" lol. Kinda wish they upped the scare factor, because the water folk didnt quite do it for me. Still, woo for a Dalek cameo and an Ood one too (And at least the Ice Warriors got mentioned huh?)
As for the preview for The End of Time, all I can say is LOL., the Master looks like hes dressed like a Chav. XD

He's going to destroy time itself and mug you in the process, most terrifying villain ever?
Hmmm well that was interesting.
I was upset by a variety of things in that episode, however thought that despite these things it was an overall fantastic episode. The reference to the fact that maybe the Ood have taken up the role of "time lords" makes me think about the possibilities, they are a race that have interested me greatly from their first appearance.
The red eyed Ood makes me wonder about the possibilities of the return of the Beast.
And finally the Master, is this to do with the ring that some one packed up when the Master was burning on the pyre.
I am full of questions now and can not wait for christmas episode!
Wow. That was definitely quite an interesting episode... And a very interesting new side to the Doctor =/
Is it bad that I was actually really quite freaked out by those water people zombie things?! Their eyes were horrible, and their mouths... urgh. Not nice D:
'Twas a bit upsetting to see the crew being infected one by one, especially the woman who was watching the kids & crying and such as it happened. And the poor Robot man, too =[
The ending was a nice twist, and the Xmas episode looks to be quite good!

For me, that has to have been the best episode yet. Especially with the whole drama at the end. Wheeow.
Can't wait for the Christmas episode.
Hope I don't miss the animated episodes next week, either. D:
was that meant to be the scarest doctor who ever, hardly...
It wasn't about scary. It was about what happens when the Doctor says "up yours, causality!" and decides to change history.
If you can't handle zombies/infected, then it'd be scary. But me? Nothing I haven't seen in Dawn (1978 and 2004), Day and Land of the Dead, as well as 28 Days and 28 Weeks Later.
Zombies aren't allowed to travel above anything faster than a drowsy amble. How rude of them.
With their jogging and running, arm motions and everything.
I lliked the Doctor's "hang on, I can do what I like!".. and then I laughed the suicide.. for some reason.
I was quite interested, "Ah, is this a new direction we shall see the doctor take from now on?" and then I remembered matt smith and thought "..maybe not."
Well, might just be me, but matt smith latin teacher/mcfly doesn't quite have the same terrifying appeal.
But we shall see.
Anyhoo, yes, I did like that new side of him. "Screw the rules, I have a time machine."
It wasn't a bad episode. I guess I wasn't quite in a zombie-thing mood. I did like their designs though.. the actress who played maggie was rather spiffy I thought.. with the crazy eyes and drooling over the window.. oh dear. did they run out of cloudy contact lenses or was she just allergic to them? :v
Poor hugh fearnley-whittingstall, bested by a carrot.
Will put kids off eating carrots, though.
Or drinking water. Huzzah!
Ed person looked like richard hammond, so that was nice I suppose.
I liked Yuri.. living in his cloud cuckoo land. with his no trespassing signs. "Yes, i'll randomly show you a map of the earth as well, crazy zombie thing!"..
was the earth rather flooded? I couldn't tell. Anyhoo, was glad that he was one of the few survivors. Usually my favourite characters are the ones to die, so made a nice change.
Ah.. ood! And.. chav master! And wilf.. is donna getting married again? -mindflail-
Looks quite spiffy anyhoo, yes it does.
He will knock four times.
Finally got round to watching that last episode!
I loved it. That moment where he was in Base One and said that the rules of time are his, woah, that was one of those moments in drama where you get all *zomg <3*
Water Zombies were cool, though I was more interested in the whole Brooke's time thing.
I see what they mean about doing stuff with Tennant that they couldn't have done in the last few series (in the Radio Times) - now that they're writing him out, they can go places they usually wouldn't have done - such as The Doctor breaking the rules, which I think is totally awesome.
And am I the only one that thinks the Master looks quite good looking in his chav forme? =3

I think I have to agree with you with just about everything you said. I will still watch it however, he just doesn't look the part AT ALL. His suit is like it was worn by one of the old Doctors as it looks all retro an really really unsuitable. I missed Chris when he left, now I'm gonna miss David... WHA!! *runs away*
That new one on Sunday was well awesome! Those water things were creepy. I'd have shot them given the chance. I don't care how human they look. Oh, an that Ood appearing at the end was suprising
I still can't beilve that woman killed herself - thats a nice thing for her daughter to see when she wakes up in the morning...
I can't wait till next time. The Master is back!

I'll admit, that's where he was at his weakest (but I still think that he was decent at those parts), but other than the final scenes, I found him to be hilarious, and made the role his own really. He just reacted well to a lot of things, and made the dramatic parts dramatic but also very funny. I preferred the comical appeal he added to it.
Tennant on the other hand I found to be the opposite; there's no doubting how good he is at the emotional side to it all, but on the other parts, I just couldn't take to him. He was a bit too bland for me most of the time. There's no doubting his quality as an actor, I just felt that for most of the time, the role didn't suit him as well as say Chris Eccleston.
I think it just depends how you want The Doctor to be really. I'd much prefer for him to be humorous, whilst still being able to provide the right drama to it as it were.
I dunno, I didn't go much on Ecclestone, and I wasn't that 'into' it when Tennant came along...it wasn't like I'd read up on the internet about who would succeed him, etc. (like I am now =P)
I really like Tennant, he seems so fantastic, to steal Eccles' word. I'll certainly miss him as the Doctor, but we'll just have to see how Smith goes.
My sister thinks that Tennant's end scene (being all dark and "One man shouldn't have this much power" "tough.") will herald a much darker Doctor in Matt Smith.
I think that what they're really doing is just playing about with how far they can stretch the Doctor, before they 'reset' him.
Also, in the Radio Times, they say something about 'The Immorality Gate.' I wonder what it could be, and how it relates to The Master. Do you think...the Master might kill the Doctor to 'save' him from himself?
Either way, I cannot wait for Christmas...<3

He was a bit too bland for me most of the time. There's no doubting his quality as an actor, I just felt that for most of the time, the role didn't suit him as well as say Chris Eccleston.
I think it just depends how you want The Doctor to be really. I'd much prefer for him to be humorous, whilst still being able to provide the right drama to it as it were.
I think Chris was the best too, but I have to say that David was really good. At first, when the Doctor regenerated I was like "NOOOOO!!!" and was never going to watch it again, but then I got used to him and now I really like him. I don't want him to leave. Then again, I'll probably be like that will Matt though (great name btw!) - not liking him at the beginning then getting to really like him.
I still feel sad when I watch The Parting of the Ways...good times, good times... I did love that Doc. Chris was the best IMO, for the same reasons as you said, Alex.
I still insist that Matt Smith is too young.
The Doctor shouldn't be a student, with his TARDIS full of microwave dinners and playing edgy ringtones when it dematerialises.
^ That last comment made me luagh, lol. ^_^
And who cares if he's young or not ?
I cares.
Did River Song not say to the David Doctor that "this is the youngest I've seen you"?
Although we all know River Song will be completely forgotten and never revisited ever, I guess.

And that's enough said about the bow tie argument. XD
As for too young, Peter Davison is in my top 3 Docs and he was the youngest at the time, a good example would be The Caves of Androzani, voted the best DW Story of all time, and perhaps my all time fav. ^^
Actually, River Song is set to return in the next series. ;P
Imo The Waters of Mars was a bit short. If they had more time I think they could have done more with the story. Although I'm not complaining; I enjoyed it =D
Seems we're getting a Dr Who BBC One Intro thingy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kXvs0aKSt0) to go with our specials too.
I wish to give Russel T Davies a slap.
Just what is he doing to the Doctor? What's with the sudden change in character in him?
>:|
I think I'm going to watch ONE episode with Smith in. If I don't like it, I'll watch repeats of DT Doctor Who on Watch.

Oh yes, a question I'd like to ask you all...
Who do you want to play the next Doctor?Me and my mother were debating it the other day. I said Alexander Siddig (http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1104/947527752_c577cbd1bd.jpg), and she said Patrick Stewart (http://www.le.ac.uk/engassoc/images/patrick-stewart.jpg)
Pictures would be pleasant.
Personally I think an older doctor would be nice.

hur o.o
well.. all this new doctor who stuff may look odd [translation: it's all different :'ccc] but.. i've thoroughly enjoyed the episodes that moffat wrote.. so.. i'm going to assume that he won't suddenly change direction for this new doctor, and that the coming series will be equally spiffy.
'd still watch it anyway, though.. it's a family thing :v
can imagine a lot of people not watching, though.. gosh, it'd be a huge ratings catastrophe. in my head.

For the love of Cybermen, not a single Matt Smith ep has aired yet! Just wait and see, then judge.
Gawd, it's like judging a book from its cover... :P
*prods link* He sounds terrible!
And you're judging the whole thing off some low quality leaked clips? Dear me... ::)
And the fact that he looks like a complete numpty, yes.
Sorry, but I'm really not convinced of any of the arguments made towards the next series.
Your opinion is your opinion, yes and you're entitled to it, but me, I don't care about bowtie this, too young that. I'm just looking forward to it like any other series.
But then yeah, the whole wait and see for the airing (As opposed to waiting spoiling leaked stuff...)
Okay, I respect that. It's a sensible way to think of it.
In other "news," Wikipedia is claiming that the series will be produced and promoted as Series One. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Doctor_Who_serials#Eleventh_Doctor) Is this true? That's a little unfair, isn't it? ._.
Right then, the End of Time anyone?
Pretty good episode, my only complain is it started a bit slow, but then it is the start of a 2 parter so I expected part one to be the build up, and another of RTD's useless aliens (Seriously, its just the red midget in the Xmas special 2 years ago, only green and taller).
Master was brilliant as always, the hungry stuff was a bit creepyish which suits him. Love how he messed up with the Doctor's beloved human race and turned everyone into him! XD Brilliant evil plan. XD
Ah and the end, now when I was hearing a rumor about the return of the Timelords, I was expecting probably a small batch of em, but instead we get HUNDREDS! XD That was great, if only the kept that more secret it
would of been just like the Daleks raiding on the Cybermen's parade. lol.
Ah, plently of stuff to speculate about part 2, like does Donna remember, the Master possibly killing the Doctor, the timelords, yeah. Can't wait.
Picked up strong Matrix vibes from everyone having the Master's face.
Also, I'm thinking awkweird; all those Masters in Women's clothing...
oh god.
CHILDREN.
Mini-masters, biting at your ankles!

Ah, children Masters, a miss opportunity, though wouldnt the children have all become adults like the Master?
Oh-em-gee!
Return of the Time Lords! =0
... Wait...
So... We start the series with "there was a time war (that you never got to see) and, like, all the Daleks and Time Lords were killed" and now we're ending it with "never mind, they're all back now?" O.o;

myself.
though.. with this "lol everyone's back!" it is making me think that RTD's just.. trying to go out in as silly an end as possible.. or is that just me? I don't know. Shall be.. interesting, anyhoo.
And yay for the Master still being Simm c:
..I realised watching the episode that I'm more upset by the idea of Simm being replaced than by Tennant, hur.
-fails-
but.. no.. the episode did make me laugh, particularly the end.
Yay for insanity.. and.. telling people that they taste nice.. and ridiculousness.

God, those Rimmer women were
hot not bad if I had had a drink first weird.
Alllthough...to be technical...Rimmer did create a race of beings with his face from scratch on an uninhabited planet; whereas lovely Master Simm copied himself over the population of an existing world, which sorta hearkens to The Matrix.

Well, the Women did sorta go flat chested when they became the Master. As for kid Masters? Would it be creepier to see them as sort of child-sized, but Master-faced/voiced, or Master-sized, but in considerably tight/torn/no clothing...
well the Fangirls'd wet themselves for the latter option.
Also, Timothy Dalton... =D
And I cringed slightly at "The Master Race" line...I
knew it was coming...
Quotewell the Fangirls'd wet themselves for the latter option.
Plus me. =D
I really like the episode, though I found the Master's 'insanity' a little bit forced. And the whole "look at me, I'm Iron Man =D" electric bolt flight thingy was a bit...dunno. Unnecessary? Didn't make me think "oh wow, he's cool" I more thought "huh, the lightning bolt trail is a bit craply CGI'd. <_<;"
And the Master's great super plan was cool from the analyser's perspective - taking away the one thing that the Doctor truly loves (the people of Earth,) but from a plot point...just a bit weird.
Also, something I noticed that was funny...

So David Tennant is bowing out? Might start watching again now that he's gone. I couldn't stomach the man at all. If he'd had kept his natural Scottish accent it might have been worthwhile, but no he was too glib to be the doctor.

I dunno, I liked him BECAUSE of that really. The ones that took themselves too seriously seem to be a little less believable. I mean, if you're as powerful as the Doctor, being the whole 'Lonely God' thing, it's more believable to have him a little bit wacko, almost psychotic in the way he switches between serious and carefree, rather than being constantly serious.
I'll certainly miss Tennant. But I'm looking forward to seeing how this new Doctor will fare. =)
iirc, RTD asked Tennant to have that accent because being with Rose had rubbed off on the Doctor..
and the universe revolves around her or something -muttermutter-
..what.. I just liked her better before the whole kerfuffle around her started..
I laughed at the anagram thing up in yonder post^
And.. yes, the Master was ridiculously ott.. at one point I thought I'd accidentally switched over to watching Heroes or something.. BUT.. when has [Simm's, at least] Master not been ott? I don't know, I think that's why I like him in the first place.. dancing around to pop music while pushing around an ancient Doctor in a wheelchair... So if he's speed-eating turkeys and bouncing around like tigger on cocaine and firing odd-looking SFX out of his hands.. works for me :v
I like to show this screenshot (http://www.rollina.net/lj/DrWho_TEOT/dr_who_the_end_of_time_I_616.jpg) to people who have never watched Doctor Who and say "this is the one of the most popular TV programmes in the UK."
but.. yes.. dog collars and straitjackets. i mean, hallo.
Anyhoo! Next episode. Yes. Interesting.
I watched the repeat of the episode with commentary on, because apparently I am that lame.. only things I can remember in regards to the next episode was talking about Donna.. how he did really want to bring her back but decided against it.. as he'd already said "she can never rememberrrrr"...
which makes the whole "she's starting to remember!" thing a bit... oh dear.
But.. no. I am glad that they're not going to go "omg Donna's back to normal yay!" [..i hope] because... much as I love her... it was said that if she remembers she'll die.. more than once.. and.. stop bending the laws of your own plot just because it suits you O<
The other thing I can remember them saying [aside from complaining about set designs and tinsel] is that Wilf signed up to the army in '46, effectively missing the war, and so he wishes he could have signed up earlier. It's not much, really, but there's the idea that he's going to finally get the opportunity to fight in the war. Maybe. I don't know :c
...I did laugh when his phone rang and he pulled out the gun instead though.
And his and the Doctor's exchange in the TARDIS.
Look at me, proper capitalisation for this post and everything.
I found the new ep kinda wirey at first, confused the hell out of me, but eventually everything started to fit together and then the end and intro for the next ep.
Gallifrey? GALLIFREY?
Those damn SNOBS are BACK? Oh (time) lawd. No Daleks to kill 'em off this time either. Human-Doctor saw to that.
With Matt Smith as the Doctor, I'm terrified it's going to all be all like Twilight; with a time machine.
But I'll wait for the first episode.
...Well, you can't ask for anything more epic then that.
But you Matt Smith haters will probably pick nick at bits, so :P
Whooa.
Yeah, the knocking four times thing got me. I thought it was going to be The Master. I kinda guessed it wouldn't be an outright killing, but man.. they got me! :B
Not sure why shooting the diamond wasn't like.. the obvious option.. so the link wasn't in the Master's head? And what the Hell was with that cubicle locking system? xD why would anywhere have a system that forces somebody to die when the nuclear energy overload gets too high (or whatever the Hell happened)?
And who WAS that woman?
Where did the Master go at the end?
Anyone notice the Time Lord president call the two that voted against the majority "weeping angels"? Damnit I hate those things ;; but does it mean that woman will be involved when the weeping angels make their return? Interesting.
It amused me how even Time Lords refer to each other by their "names", the Doctor / Master etc.
Thought it was a good episode though.. though you just knew that the big bad scary enemy would show its face for like, two minutes, then be prevented from actually getting there. Fantastic acting all around in my opinion, especially on Tennant and Simms' parts. The bit with Rose was so touching =[
Great end to a great series; Matt Smith seemed reasonable in the few seconds we saw of him, quirky enough (if a bit funny-looking). Fingers crossed for the next series!

Everyone remember how David Tennant was considered awful by most upon his first appearance?
He turned out to be awesome... I sure hope the same is the case here.
I'm kinda disappointed that the whole Gallifrey return thing didn't continue into the next series, I sure hope they have some good stuff lined up to make up for it.

Saw part of "Magpie Electricals" on the orange sign above the hooded guys at around 22 seconds.
Wow...next series looks good, doesn't look as if matt smiths going to be a bad doctor and his companion amy? She's goergous! Well IMO.

There's my cue~!
Matt Smith was... Funny. Made me laugh a lot. That's thanks to the writers, but I guess he played the lines out really well. The drama of the scene came from Tennant, however Matt's first appearence certainly got me pumped for the new series.
It was a brilliant closing for Mister Tennant, though. I loved it~!
...I'm saddened there isn't a whole HATE topic for Matt Smith.
Right, the episode was excellent - LOVED the bit about the Weeping Angels, my father missed it, so we had to rewind (Sky Plus <3) and then watch it again, me grinning open mouthed like some anime character. Awesome.
The hell happened to the Master? Like, location wise, not the whole skull thing.
Timothy Dalton was an excellent villain, but as already said, a whole season dedicated to the return of the Time Lords, with 'other stuff' thrown into a main plot would have been better than "Oh look, a big red plan- oh nvm it's gone =D"
Donna was little more than a cameo, which sucked. She's been the best companion out of the past three.
Aaaand, I guess that's it.
Now. On to Smith.
I hate him. There's me being "oh come on guys, let's see what he's like first :3" but no, he sucks. 'Geranimo?' Get out. I really don't like him, and from the little trailer posted, I don't see the 'dark' Doctor that Tennant sometimes portrayed.
Remember that bit with Anthony Head as the evil School Headmaster, squaring off against the Doctor over the indoor swimming pool? And Tennant was all "I am old, and less forgiving," or something.
Can you see Smith pulling that off without looking like some snotty nosed Eton kid trying to put down his superiors?
Bah, I'm so missing Tennant. ;_;
AND Smith isn't even good looking. I could have suffered him if he was easy on the eyes (talking of which, he looks cross-eyed =/) but no, he doesn't even have the courtesy to be fit. Well, two fingers up to you. ;_;

Good god, me too, because I hated Tennant in his first episode too. But then, I didn't love Ecclestone like I do Tennant. So you've got a lot to match up to, Smithy. =/

I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw her and thought 'OMG it's Nina!'. Same with Russel Tovey's little cameo near the end.
Anyway, I'm not voicing an opinion on Matt Smith yet because the Doctor has too many sides to his personality to possibly judge from a regeneration scene and a trailer. It does look like 'Geronimo' will be the 11th Doctor's 'Allons-y' though.
Speaking of the trailer though, looks epic. The weeping angels! They're back! And judging from this episode they either were originally Time Lords, or else were just also native to Gallifrey. I'm betting these are different ones, though, because unless someone went to the circle of Weeping Angels in the house from Blink and physically removed them one by one, they still can't move.
hmmm.
I also would like to know where the master went o.o
you know, just wondering.
"you can go back into the time lock or something, off you pop"
well.. I'm sure moffat will twist the plot a bit so that we can get the master back.. no, no need for him to regenerate.. yes.. i'm sure that will happen.. we can keep our insane blond simm master.. not like they're starting afresh with all new actors and design or anything.
SHH yes..
then he can LAUGH at the doctor for regenerating first.. and go and pick up his winnings from the bookies from that very strange-sounding bet that he placed as PM.
soo
I did like the drama of the whole thing.. though was amused by the "EPIC DESTRUCTION HI BYE".. i.. very odd o.o
And.. it was really well done.. particularly the bit with Wilf tapping on the glass, bless.
That scene was shot shot and acted fantastically.. so.. huzzah.
Plus the bit with the gun.. though, yeah, shooting the diamond linky machine thingy [highly sophisticated technobabble] should have been obvious.. surely? o.o
i dunno. I've just taken to, whenever I tap or knock on something, doing it four times in the hope that i'll make somebody jump.
Cribbins was awesome in the random missile fighting bit this is a fact.
And.. pretty much fantastic throughout.. bless him again.
I was far too amused by the trolley stairs rescue.
Makes me wonder why the naismiths even had a thing like that o.ó
Radiation thing.. didn't the Doctor absorb some kind of radiation in a previous episode? the.. the martha one. "Barefoot on the moon!"
Guessing that that was different/weaker/something.. I can't be expected to remember all this o.ó
but.. yeaaah.
When he put his hands to his face I was expecting his skin to fall away for some reason.. not for him to be Smith then, just to have.. radiation burns or something.. goodness knows why.. enjoy the show, kids!
Doctor playing fairy godmother was a bit... well, it was a lovely idea, but it went on for a bit, hur :v and.. did we need to see rose again? never mind.
I dunno, I think it's only just hit me that we won't be seeing these characters again, so.. yeah. I'm a bit more ":c".. there were some particularly awesome characters in these series
and rose so I'll be sad to see them go. Also, tsk at Tennant's last heartstrings attack just before he regenerated :c
Glad Donna had her happy ending c: the lottery ticket idea was sweet, though the phrase "it's a triple rollover!" made the whole thing seem a tiiny bit tacky. well, to me. Still was sweet.
Also did i imagine this bit or was martha married to micky? o.o
I thought she was married to a unit doctor or.. or something I don't know I can't remember.
ah well o.o
on the weeping angels front.. firstly, eee!
secondly, this quote:
"Wait, wasn't Rassilon a benevolent, giant disembodied head that turned people seeking too much power into stone?"
Right! Smith. Yes. Bless him.
looks like "geronimo" will be his catchphrase after all. durnit :c could have waited a bit before he got a catchphrase, otherwise it will seem crowbarred in. maybe.
I want people to like him ;;
GO AND DO GOOD ACTING, SMITH
fjkagrbaekjgfjd
though.. might just be the Smith association but... looking at ms pond, it does seem like everyone in the cast is younger this series.
also, more gunfire.
and mooody expressions. Shall have to see how serious it turns out to be.
huzzah at the trailer for the next series.. was that Smith hitting a dalek with a hammer?.. well, i'm sold.

I switched over to Confidential, and there was a Being Human trailer on right before it, so.. -amused-
but i'm easily amused.
shouldn't there be a BH topic around now? holy crap this was long and despite all these words i pretty much agree with enigma.. save on the Smith bit.
so you could have saved time by just reading his post, then reading the last little bit of mine. Ha. HA.
I reckon that woman who nodded at the Doctor was his mother
o_o
Anyway... I was so sad. I told myself as soon as he started regenerating I'm off. I stayed, but I was like 'nooooooooooooooooooooooooo ;-;'... Smith made me laugh... but he.... doesn't look like the Doctor... I mean... his chin is enourmous, and he looks like a schoolboy.
AND NO ONE CAN REPLACE DONNA ON THE GINGER SCALE.
Amy Pond...
grrr
I'm sorry but you just can't have another ginger companion after Donna. just no.
and plus, I'm glad Russel T. Davies is leaving. Near enough every damned episode he wrote the Doctor was snogging one girl or another. ><
psssh. I'm just going to watch repeats of the 10th Doctor on Watch.
I'll give Smith a chance but there is no way he's gonna be as good as Tennant. I grew up with Tennant, and it's said you like the Doctor you grew up with best (though not in my mum's case... maybe she's just odd).
Well, when I first heard he was going to be the next Doctor, I looked him up on Google Images and those pics of him did not flatter him in the slightest.
and omg the Master saved the day for once... Maybe he'll come back a wee bit nicer next time?

Right, sorry about that wall.
I don't need to patronise you as to telling you WHAT a trailer is. Does a trailer show everything that happens in a film? Of COURSE it doesn't, otherwise there'd be no point in seeing the film! This little trailer is just a taste of what things are to come! They aren't going to shovel in every nuance of the next series and Doctor into it, just the more exciting bits! And besides, he does shoot a gun. Granted, Tennant did, but he just shot at a machine. Who knows who or what Smith fired at?
Damn, just WAIT to watch a few FULL EPISODES of Smith before making unfounded hate comments, rather than basing it on a SHORT TRAILER THAT DOESN'T SHOW EVERY MOMENT IN THE NEXT SERIES.
Also, Ecclestone played Dark Doctor so much better. Tennant was far too ambivalent!

That was a pretty cool episode. Gallifrey returns, Time Lords are a little bit evil... but let's skip the episode and get onto the real part, the regeneration. I thought it was really sad that David Tennant has left, because he was so brilliant. But, after seeing the trailer, I've changed my mind a little about Matt Smith; he looks as if he could be quite good after all.
And to answer your questions about the woman, I'd have thought it was obvious? When Wilf asked the Doctor who she was, all he did was look at Donna. So my money's on either her (somehow) or the Doctor's mother, although I don't know how either would work. Meh.
The whole "Geronimo" thing...
He says it once, in the trailer. Once. ONE TIME. And already people are claiming it's his catchphrase? Yeah, it was loudly and proudly says, but who's to say he wasn't saying it because it was...I dunno, apt to the situation? I do love it when people grasp at sticks to try and substantiate their arguments for frankly irrational hatred for a newcomer.
Also, "Allons-y" isn't that good of a French catchphrase, really. "En avant!" ("les gars!" is optional), or "Viens ici, salopard, sinon je vous donner un coup du pied au cul, enfoiré!" is much better.
And as for "attractiveness"...if you're watching a show because someone looks good in it, you're watching it for the wrong reason. Just go watch some Porn, 'kay?

It was also the last thing he said in End of Time. Considering he decided to yell it then, and that it was highlighted in a trailer, and that it is also plastered all over the Doctor Who website... I'm kinda guessing it's his catchphrase.
Fair enough.
Now move over once.
Move over twice. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TipfIUP1kAE#t=0m40s)
The women has got to be his mother for reasons I can't fully explain so I won't.
Right.
Firstly, I loved the episode. Wilf was great in the shooting the missiles bit, and with the tapping on the glass! The rest of it was pretty good too, I liked the weeping angels bit. The Time Lords didn't really do all that much though, did they?
Secondly, Smith isn't that bad on the looks front =] He's quite nice looking really!
I'm very much looking forward to the new series, the trailer looks interesting.

Did anyone notice the 'Star Warsness' of him climbing down the ladder and going to a gun turret opposite his shooting partner?
Still, not bad. Looking forward to next series. Only thing I thought was stupid was him falling 300 feet onto solid stone/marble/unobtainium floor.
Best Doctor Who ending ever me thinks.
David Tennant is the best Doctor...the new guy has some big shoes to fill.
Hopefully the new writer can pull off the whole darker side well...I know the weeping angels will be returning which can only be a good thing :D
^I'd hope that he can, seeing as Moffat is the one who wrote "Blink" in the first place q:
more episode writers can be listed here (http://www.denofgeek.com/television/393564/doctor_who_new_series_writers_lineup.html).
Also.. a confirmation that River Song will return. Holy crap on a.. stick. I did wonder.

seeing as i've already posted links to enough nerdy things, may as well post this for series 5 spoilers and information (http://blogtorwho.blogspot.com/search/label/Series%205), if you haven't already read it.. which I know that you have D< liars
Ahh so I was right. I had a feeling she was an idea how she could be but I didn't say it.
okay the xmas and new year special was pretty good BUT i'm quite disappointed that he died due to absorbing the radiation, i mean in the whole hype up to it in the whole list of things that could of killed him in that episode, it was that >_< i mean i really didn't like that =P
new doctor has alot of expectations to live up to i havn't judged him because i havn't sen an episode of him yet and as well as that, i don't think they would of choosed him if they didn't think he could live up to what he has to do
The magazine has revealed the 1st 3 episode titles.
Episode 1: The Eleventh Hour
Episode 2: The Beast Below
Episode 3: Victory of the Daleks
Even more retroness! XD A new "of the Daleks" episode =D

Personally, I loved that. In the end, he doesn't die saving the universe, he dies saving one old man. Such a lovely, humble death for a Doctor more guilty of hubris than any other. Loved it!
ah, indeed.. though.. not wilf's fault, as i remember someone saying.. as wilf was only in the chamber to let the random scientist guy out.. doctor dying for wilf has a bit more impact than doctor dying for random scientist guy.
well, nothing to do with anything really.
am slightly excited about the new series, indeed.. no airing dates announced yet?
also..
old clip, vaguely to do with doctor who: deadringers impressionist jon culshaw phones tom baker (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ7uHzZYREo). hilarity ensues.
"a fellow called davros calls me up and keeps asking me if i'm dead.."
may as well post it here q:
Interestingly, originally, the Doctor WAS going to die for a random scientist (called Geoff). It was only later that Russell T Davies realised how heartbreaking it'd be to see Wilf's face on the other side of the glass instead.
I suspect the new series starts (with an hour-long first episode!) on the third of April. Easter Saturday - which I think has had a new episode of Doctor Who every year since 2005.
ah, well then. I'm glad of that.
was a splendid selection of scenes thar.
And.. and a new trailer for series 5 is up (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpbmMhNe6aA).
it.. I have no idea. Reminds me of a techno music video or something.
or a theme park ride.
Epic, but.. ridiculous epic.
made me laugh, anyway.
most silly.
I'm really not sure about smith's accent. Ah well.. shall get used to it.
no i'm not an "omg smith will be rubbish bring back tennant" person, don't look at me like that.

Yeah, it sounded a bit similar to the first themes but with a new thing with it. I think there was some kind of bass or rhythm guitar in there, along with some old fashioned computer-y sounds. I like that it laid off the orcastra piece for they electronic sounds. I hope this becomes the new theme too.

That is pretty awsome fair play. So retro but at the same time not so retro. If anyone gets me?
Obviously I am going to be watching the new Doctor Who but still... early reports do not sound great
Its on Saturday!! I've seen a few trailers and it looks good.
Where are all these negative reports coming from?
Quote from: Empire™ on April 01, 2010, 22:14

The Internet Hate Machine, no doubt.
Edit: Just watched it. I'm so happy, Steven Moffat better stay for a long time. The episode wasn't tedious and it just stank of awesomeness. I did not spot one cliché and it was so original.
Waw that was brilliant, TARDIS looks awesome and one word: Leggy =D
I have 20 minutes to save the world and I have a post office! AND IT'S CLOSED!
Bloody fantastic is all I can say. :3
Someone's bound to throw a spanner in the works no doubt... :P
Sonic Screwdriver is also awesome
(http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080612103736/tardis/images/0/03/River_Song_Sonic_Screwdriver.jpg)
I want one of these. Steampunk is back!
edit: wait, is it the one River Song had in The Library?
^ Is Riversong's screw driver. His doesn't look quite like this yet, but I'm guessing it will some time in the future.
That was actually epic. Brilliant performance from Matt Smith. He fit's the part so well, bringing his own touch into it. I absolutely love the new Doctor's attitude.
Karen Gillian is also rather tasty indeed. Not surprised she's a Kiss-o-gram! Glad she's not going to have this romantic sort of relationship with the Doctor that Russel T Davies put in that kinda ruined the feel of the show.
I think it's clear that Steven Moffet is bringing alot of retroness back and referring more to the previous series and not just the 2005 series. We had images of all previous Doctor's and monsters from the old series. As well as that, retroness in the title sequence and music as well...
Interesting how the Doctor refers to the swimming pool and library in the old tardis, despite no appearence or even mention of it previously. But I absolutely love the new set out of the Tardis. Very exciting stuff indeed. Alot more to it this time. If you didn't watch confidential, I'd suggest you do as you get a really epic guide to the Tardis.
ahaaa, bit spiffy, yes.
I've gone from not disliking matt smith as the doctor to really liking him as the doctor.
Glad that's out of the way, now I can enjoy the rest of the series :V
still not sure about the outfit, but hey ho.
if it's true that he was originally going to be pirates-of-the-caribbeany, then i'm not going to complain too much about professor-of-latin.
Some rather spiffy lines.. and.. yeah, bit silly. bit mad.
not entirely sure about ms pond yet, but hey. Better than rose. here's me hoping for no falling in love this time round. I'm pretty sure they were kissing in one of the trailers, but that seems to be a given for companions by now. And I think i've read in more than one place that it won't be a romantic relationship, so that's nice.
I like eccentric doctor.
faster than light travel with two diagrams.. and a joke.
And anyone who doesn't like baked beans is already winning points.
sonic screwdriver attention-seeking is a bit nifty.
explosions and out of control mobility scooters, huzzah
I love the new tardis.
steampunky. typewriter and taps and gramophone horn. And.. oil. staircases.
Concur with LT about confidential tardis tour. Do wish they didn't feel the need to use so many.. artistic camera angles in that, though. Camera was zooming around and I just wanted it to stop moving so i could have a look at the set |:
will be good to see more of it though.
So... yes. I approve.
of viperfish alien, also.
I really like the New Doctor. My other half, on the hand, doesn't like him and spout out "He's not my doctor". You concluded that in 20 minutes, where the actual plot haven't kicked in, so that's rather a crap opinion. He's an eccentric, humorous doctor and I personally like him.
The episode was great. Loved it at the start where he was trying out all these food to satisfy his cravings, yet he keeps spitting it out. I laughed when he fling a plate outside. The plot was great and I liked the new assistant. Can't wait for the next one.
River Song appears quite a few times in the coming soon bit of last nighjts episode...
Here's one of them (i think its her)
(http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/1364/riversong.png)
Not bad, I couldn't stand Tennant's glib attitude so I'm glad to see someone a bit more eccentric. Looking at the previews for the other episodes I've got to say I like how the Daleks are as they should be and I love the new steampunk-esque features of the tardis with the dials and levers.
he was okay, but not great
i just feel he was trying to hard to live up to Tennant and Eccelston, whereas he should have just tried less hard to be so omg-i'm-so-mega-awesomeeee
but yeah scottish companion (y)
but no one can replace the awesome gingerness of Donna. not even mini skirt Amy.
I don't think he's trying to live up to the previous Doctor's at all. Matt Smith is actually quite similar to the Doctor as an actor which is quite cool. I think that he's putting his own spin on it.

<333
I loved the episode & really like Matt Smith as the Doctor.
...the fact that he's not too bad looking makes it even better =D
Noo! I live in denial that David ever left :(
For whatever reason I missed the first episode with the new doctor. Darn the world for acutally likeing him!
And Darn my dad for saying he's as good as or indeed better than Tennant!....
BARROWMAN!!! *Shakes fist*

Do you damn the world for the series getting a decent head writer? All I ask is for no stupidly long endings to seasons because they were way too generic.
The new doctor is by far better than David Tennant, but I'm very biased there. After being pushed into watching it by LT, I'm glad I did watch it. Very good episode. He's very witty and not smarmy like Tennant, and some of the scenes are brilliant, especially with Jeff =D.
All in all, good start =]
I'm hoping, at some point during this series, that someone says, 'I'll explain later'.
I really enjoyed the second episode, especially the moral choices that everyone was conflicted with towards the end. And what the Doctor offered was inhumane, yet necessary. Sure, in the end, there was an 'happy option'.
Hopefully, with more episodes, my love for Matt Smith will increase.
Another brilliant episode, Matt Smith is going to be an exellent doctor and i hope he's around for a good couple of years. Next episode looks awesome aswell but it looks like it should be a two parter but hey i havent seen it yet soo.
the whole "star whale = doctor" thing was.. drilled in just a bit
if they'd just left it with amy saying once that it was an old/kind/lonely/omglastofitskind creature, then.. connection would probably have been made, hur o.o
anyhoo! yes. Did rather love it. Love the futuristic-but-old-fashioned style. i'd say "steampunk", but it isn't really so i won't. I didn't. you saw nothing.
Liz 10 is made of swish and i look forward to her reign.
she's the bloody queen, mate.
though when she first appeared i recognised her.. and assumed i recognised her from doctor who.. such was the.. face-being-hidden-and-then-REVEALED.. so i spent five or ten minutes trying to work out which character she was, before i realised I'd seen her in something else entirely.
and.. yes. haven't quiite warmed to amy but I approve of her investigating things for the hell of it. Also liked the doctor's moments of being ANNOYED, though I'm not sure why. Not quite referencing his outburst at the end of Waters of Mars.. just.. general pompous..ness.
Bless the star whale. Most adorable.
-hugs its brain-
Terrence Hardiman...YES. He sounds just like he does playing The Demon Headmaster. Seriously, put him in a grey labcoat, and a pair of tinted glasses, taunting Dinah Glass/Hunter, and...yes!
Next episode looks good...And Churchill condoning the use of a Dalek isn't that OOC for him, seeing as he practically condoned the use of gas warfare before WWII~...

I knew I recognised him from somewhere. Yeah it's the Headmaster.
But anyway, loved this, can't wait for the next one. One thing I feel would have been good was to not have those next time trailers and just leave it as a cliffhanger.
I think I love Amy Pond. Like seriously, she's amazing <3
I laughed at how Scotland was now excluded, even though the Union flag had the Andrew blue on it and the map of the country had Scotland on it.

don't worry, next episode looks set to have dalek bumps at least.
speaking of which [yes]
I'm not really sure why but after seeing the "next time" trailer for series 3, I really want to get a WWII Dalek propaganda poster. Or.. something.
Nearly as much as I want a "vote saxon" or similar poster.
what do you mean I'm not up to date |:

i love you so you know
..you don't happen to have an A1-sized printer i could borrow do you?
I love how the new Dalek's are very colourful ;D , even though they have a deeper voice.
Oi, Churchill! XD
Not bad, but it felt a bit weak. It needed to be a 2 parter as I felt it was like that, only squished into one. Part one should of been the build up, with the Daleks turning on the humans near the end and the redesigns as the cliffhanger.
Which brings me to the "new" Daleks, they look a bit too bright coloured and reminded me of Smarties/M and M's XD Plus the heads look a bit small, need to be larger. Can't say I'm a fan of these redesigned Daleks as it were. Still, interesting to note Amy never heard of em when their invasions are pretty hard to miss XD
This is what I worried about, we were spoilt by the brilliant Moffat, which could effect the other writers's stories.
Oh well, good ol' Angels next week
Quote from: Halfwit on April 16, 2010, 18:45
..you don't happen to have an A1-sized printer i could borrow do you?
Would this (http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/) help at all?
Anyway, I really do wish Amy had asked him for a quote on car insurance, but oh well.
Also, the next Weeping Angel one looks better than the first, in that they don't know WHICH statue is the Weeping Angel among all of them. It's easy to say "Watch the statues", it becomes a lot harder when you don't know which one to be looking at!
O: nifty
ta
so many marriage proposals to make, so little time
i mean
tonight's episode! yes.
..I prefer the old.. brown.. daleks. khaki ones, too.
I'm sure they'll grow on me. But my first thought was "they have massive arses".
tiny heads and massive arses. And power ranger colours.
and i was so very expecting churchill to say "Oh yes" at one point
would have been too easy
overall.. didn't enjoy as much as the last two.
got a bit star wars in the middle there o.o
but daleks, so yay
and bracewell made me laugh, with his.. androidness. Maybe i wasn't supposed to laugh
and.. i was expecting a two parter, too, so I guess it did feel rushed.
Suppose they have to follow the new-companion format of [ep1] meet companion [ep2] companion goes forward/backward in time [ep3] companion goes backward/forward in time [ep4+5] two parter
..or something
so.. yes!
weeping angels.. and we finally might find out a bit more about river song, ahur.
just wondering how they're going to handle the.. the first time he met her, she didn't seem to notice he later regenerated, ahur.
also I like how.. with "i can't remember the daleks" [intriiguing] and.. blowing up the old ones.. new tardis, sonic screwdriver, doctor, companion.. slooowly erasing the rtd era
forgetting the daleks mystery did remind me of "LAST FOUR SERIES NEVER HAPPENED IT WAS ALL A DREAM", so made me laugh.
though we all know that the 2005+ series are just dreams had by the lumley doctor, as moffat planned
..wonder who will be the new master
:c
A good episode, I must say! Although it felt a bit rushed. If it were 60 minutes long, it'd be fabulously paced.
Unsure of the Dalux (Dulux/Dalek), though. Their shape is a bit off around the back. But it's a nice throwback to the older Daleks.
Liking the idea of WWII London, and the Dalek Technology!Spitfire was cool! Also, I thought for a moment that they were going to transmit a huge spotlight on London rather than turning on the lights from orbit!
Also, easy way to solve the lights problems; tell the Londoners to smash every light they could find! Expensive, but a solution nonetheless!
Weeping angels...I hope they're still as scary as they were in their first appearance...let's see, shall we?
I would have liked a two parter for this episode but with the Master Race getting away it opens up whole new possibilities. The cracks aswell are probably for the void, which means if the walls are collapsing then the 10th doctor could come back in a two doctors episode. Although thats just my imagination talking.
^
Would be a cool idea, everyone loved David Tennant.
I just loved this one, was brilliant. It was awesome how the Daleks weren't using weapons at all, but merely turning lights on, very clever and fiendish.
I had doubts about the Weeping Angels but I can't wait for that one. Should be a blast.
I'm getting a bit sick of seeing the Daleks every series. Don't get me wrong I love them but I'd like to see them make a new recurring villain instead of relying on the old ones. Granted the Weeping Angels are one of these but there needs to be more.
well.. there're the cybermen.. and.. the master.
..the cybermen are new.. and the master regenerated.. so.. that shall do~
..
Must be personal preference.. I love the daleks.
For me, they're as important to Doctor Who as the tardis or.. the doctor, hur.
I'm sure that "but you all DIED!" is an in-series joke by now.. the last of the daleks.. again.. "right, they're DEFINITELY gone now.. honest."
will miss the rtdish daleks.. but I'm sure these will grow on me.
All brightly coloured and retro futuristic, so that's a bonus.
mm.. just because the daleks are here doesn't mean that there can't be other villains popping up..
..and.. and for those of you truly disappointed by this episode,
why, remember that there are other WWII-era episodes to turn to 8D

can't sleep, Nine will eat me.
Halfwit, are YOU my mommy?
Looking forward to 2moz episode the the Weeping Angels...will be interesting to see how the Doctor deals with them :)
You think they will come up with a way to kill the Angels? Or you think they will stick a mirror in front of it and be done lol
^ In true doctor fashion he could trap them by using themselves. Well, depends how many there are.
Watched Dr Who a few hours ago, and I'm thankful the quality went back to its highest after the Dalek Episode. I really like the Weeping Angels, the actress of Emily Pond is right that the Weeping Angels are the scariest species of Dr Who.
I like how an 'image of the weeping angel' can become one. And it was a twist of events when the statues that everyone assumed it wasn't the weeping angel... turned out to be one, because of missing features.
So frankly, the best episode and there's more to come. I think I found my favourite species <3
OK so River is the Doctors Wife... But he hasn't been properly introduced to her yet. That's the one problem to Time Travel... It messes with your sense of directionality.
Not sure about the paramilitary church though... This isn't Warhammer.
i giggled at the doctor's mention of having dinner with the architect because I am actually that lame.
And.. yeah, I enjoyed it :D
the "actually i'm dead, sir" spiel by Bob [bob!] I liked.. amused me in a sort of "I approve of the mindscrew" way, which is good.
I feel ever so clever for being confused over the statues having one head [or, more speicifcally, for looking human] when the Aplans didn't.. though I wasn't sure if it was just something the makers of the show had forgotten, hur.
but no, is a plot point, so that's nice.
..yes I know i'm slow and that everyone else would have picked up on it as well, but shh
Actually i thought the statues having no eyes had something to do with it as well.
But yes.. I liked the "..actually they're all angels, ahur. sorry bout that."
And.. the doctor is a better person than i.. for i'd simply say to river, "i met you once, then you died. HURR"
..soo he gave her pictures of all his incarnations so she'd recognise him? she implies that she's met more than just Eleven.. and obviously not previous ones, even offscreen, because Ten didn't recognise her in the library. So.. implied possible future Doctors meet her. Maybe. Intriguing anyhoo.
Bit Time-Traveller's Wife. Well, not a bit.. it's pretty much explained that she's the time-traveller's wife, so don't mind me.
like how it keeps explanations of some things under wraps.. to be explained in later episodes mainly. like prison.. and who taught her to fly the tardis? apparently not the doctor.
hmm.. I need the doctor trying to make the vworp vworp noise as a ringtone or something, i dunno. okay, no.
..boring blue stabilisers.
And Amy is growing on me also. "Ooh, doctor! you soniced her!"
Yes! Next episode looks amusing due to "you know I said don't blink? er.. the opposite, lol."
Eye thing never cropped up before, but hey :v guess sally sparrow just never bothered to look at the eyes.
but images-of-angels should scare a few more kids.. particularly the ones who have.. i dunno, magazines/annuals/whatever there is with pictures of the critters in. therefore I approve.
And.. the Doctor's keeping score with museums and stealing various artefacts wins some points.
I only have one little thing about it, if the angels touch you you get sent back in time, so how did they break the guys necks, can they turn it off or something?
but yeah loving the new series, and it doesn't suprise me the Doctor leaves the brakes on

Very true, also, she wouldn't need a "spotters' guide" if there were only a few, meaning that the Doctor will find some way to exceed the 12 regeneration limit of Timelords. Mmm. Not sure how they're going to write that in...

I presume it's a conscious decision; they're feeding on people. You can put food in your mouth, but you need to make the decision to chew and swallow in order to actually consume it. Same principle applies here, just with touch.
I loved this, but I still see the plotholes of when Bob is alone yet the statues behind him are still statues. The same thing happened in Blink and I don't understand.
However, this was the only thing that let it down and perhaps there will be an explanation. I was also puzzled at how River wasn't crushed by the space vacuum after bailing from the air lock, although I suppose the TARDIS shields can extend.

Not the sheilds! TARDIS air corridor. I suppose its just a well, a corridor of air really.
I also just thought, why not pick up a statue and have it face the passageway which they were coming down, have another statue look at the original to keep it stone, then none of them would be able to follow them without becoming stone.
Just a thought, also interesting how when they blink and they move closer, but surely a statue behind the one at the front would have to look at it therefore keeping it a stone.
The Angels behind cover their faces while the ones in front advance... this takes a little while explaining why a Weeping Angel that can cover several feet every second (as per the original Weeping Angel episode in series 3) can only make it a few inches.
I'm not a big fan of the Angels this time around, the real genius in their previous episode was working out how the message on the DVDs worked and the fact that the Doctor wasn't around to save the day... I don't think they really fit in with Matt Smith's Doctor.
His slightly more clownish take on the Doctor (which is great), just cuts through the tension far too often.
the appeal of the angels to me has always been the whole.. clever plotlines around them.. i don't find the critters themself that terrifying.. possibly as when lights are flashing they look like they're disco dancing.
oh, but i will jump at things that SUDDENLY JUMP OUT AT YOU, so.. yeah.
But agree that Blink was more genius than this episode.. though I am enjoying this two=parter thus far.. hell, I'm loving this series.
Also.. the audience are treated like.. if they're looking at the angel, then it can't move. so we never see them move.. as we're looking at them. But when the camera pans away..
which adds to the creepy, perhaps? no?
oh okay.
also someone pointed out.. regarding the whole image-of-an-angel-becomes-an-angel.. Sally Sparrow gave the Doctor a folder including pictures of the angels.. which was inside the tardis..
"Brings up the question of how the Doctor got sent to 1969 in the first place.."
though if so you'd think the Doctor would remember the images turning into angels.. or maybe he didn't know that's what had happened
hence the lack of "DAAAMN YOUUU SALLY SPARROW... -zapped to 1969-"
So what did everyone think of last nights episode? I loved it, especially the way it's building up to the end of time itself thing
I liked it, although i felt that the whole 'gap in the time-space continuum' thing was a bit of a deus ex machina, unless it's gonna be central the plotline later on. (That may well be a very stupid statement :L)
Also, it was disconcerting to see Amy suddenly deciding she's horny at the end :/ I always thought that the romance between The Doctor and his companion to be implied, and never openly acted upon/talked about, sorta like the gaint white elephant in the living room.

The whole 'crack in the wall' is a sneaky way of eliminating all the clustercrap that Russel T.Davies left.
They said they were going on a quest to do something about it. That's a lot better than a bunch of seemingly random stories with one tiny link, which turns out to be daleks or the master stalking the doctor in some weird way. This time he's actually gone to find out what all this rubbish is.
I didn't mind too much about the Angels this time... We even got a few more River Song answers... Even more questions though.

Isnt it brilliant? We're always kept guessing.
I could have done with a few answers though... Like why she apparently killed her own husband.
Or better yet... What is the Pandorica and why does the mere mention of it make a man who laughed at the Cyberking wet himself in terror?
The Vampire one was alright, had it's ups and downs. The next one looks really good.
Haha, gilbert! I mean, alex price.
With his space fish mummy.
"Mummy, what's wrong with your perception filter?" is now my favourite line from anything ever.
The rest of the episode was okay. Special effects amused me, as did the big costumes. Did I mention gilbert?
Episode made me feel sorry for Rory, mainly.. I mean, more so than usual.. just.. bless him |:
"WE.. ARE.. VENICIAN! -boom-" wins a few points as well.
not a favourite episode.. not terrible, either.
In fact my favourite episodes thus far are still one and two, har.
Next week's does look spiffy though.
Army of angry pensioners? With zimmer frames and axes? Rory with a ponytail? Random ice? A "Dream Lord"? Mindscrew, bizarre things, reality getting mixed up with confusion and unreal worlds?
I.. really hope it won't be disappointing.. harr.

Ah, KNEW I recognised him from somewhere! And I personally preferred "...Did you just say something about Mummy?" xD
And yeah, next week looks awesome. "If you die in the dream, you wake up in reality. Ask me what happens if you die in reality."
"What happens?"
"You die, stupid, that's why it's called reality."
Haha, brilliant, can't wait!
I had to roll my eyes though. I mean come on... Girl getting turned into a vampire just so happens to be called Bella. I was waiting for Momma's Fishboy to be named Eduardo.
Near perfect, wonderfully filmed and did not look cheap whatsoever. Shows this series does a lot more then RTD ever did. The vampires look sexy, the fish people looked good and the boyfriend provided decent comedy. Only slag is the Doctor just pulling a switch to stop the storm. Would of looked better if was ripped out wires and such in a desperate struggle, not knowing if it ll work or not.
But yeah, well betterly paced then the Dalek episode.

But it
was a struggle. He couldn't shut it down, they had to rip out wires and it still didn't shut down, he had to climb the tower and open the box and STILL didn't know how to turn it off, the switch was kind of a blind last-ditch idea.
May I just say that I hugely approve of the clockwork machinery thing in the.. storm thing?
Clockwork/steampunk/backwards futuristic makes me happy, generally.. and even though this wasn't a Moffat episode [like with his TARDIS/girl in the fireplace drones/starship UK designs].. that was a rather spiffy touch c:
as well as the doctor having those goggles on at the start, huzzaaaah~
..what? >>

Weirdly, this was one of the episodes where I was really very aware of the sfx.. particularly when the doctor was on top of the building trying to stop the.. storm machine thing.. and also the fish monsters looking amusingly out of place.
Dunno why I noticed things this episode in particular.
But no, wouldn't say it looked cheap
Just.. quoting this bit because it's one of the episodes where I've gone "..well that looks a bit CGI, hur"
I'm such an oddball.
And of course period drama costume almost ALWAYS makes me amused.
Mmm.. the putting-hands-over-people's-mouths-to-shut-them-up scene was a bit swish.
Cheese and biscuits.

Pretty much any line involving francesbert saying "mummy", then q:
"Well, we mustn't interrupt Mummy when she's hydrating."
[also, he's the voice of Series 5's confidential and I never even noticed until this week xD]
and.. and I do hope it will be good.. I was rather looking forward to the dalek episode [daleks! WWII! daleks serving tea! Winston bloody churchill!] and it was a bit.. ehh
well, it wasn't a bad episode, but I must have been expecting something a bit EXTRAORDINARY.
that'll teach me to get my hopes up.
..
THIS NEXT EPISODE WILL PROBABLY BE RUBBISH |:
there
i've really grow disinterested in DW now. I thought; yeah, Smith is gonna be okay maybe, but Amy... just turns me off. If it was a different companion not as... slutty as her i'd watch it.
No, I agree.. I was a bit "|:" at first [i mean, she's fanservicey, but so are.. a lot of characters in a lot of things, harr].. then I started to slooowly like her.
Until the end of "Flesh and Stone", anyway. was a bit... i'm sorry, what the hell? o.o
Face rape! And.. trying to undress him while he tried to escape, hur.
piff, even Jack never did that :v
I'm sure it's a humorous and light-hearted scene but.. come on, swap the genders and more people might find it creepy than just me >>
Don't worry, i'm not going to stand up and go "this is a DISGRACE!" or.. whatever it might be.
sexual assault is funny, kids!
Just.. unnerved a bit, haar.
So no I don't like her any more.
On the plus side, congrats to Moffat for finally freaking me out with one of his episodes! Didn't take that long.
I keep watching because I'm too much of a fan to stop.. besides, I like Moffat's writings, and it's entertaining.
Wouldn't mind if Amy was replaced with Rory, though. Somehow.
I like Rory.. he's a bit useless.
Arthur Darvill might be a tiny bit fanciable.. damn.
And bless, I liked his Confidential jumper (http://i40.tinypic.com/24mawc5.jpg).
These are sensible reasons to watch a programme, shh you.
Halfwit... swap the genders and it would stop being funny, yes; but why? Maybe there's a reason why it's more acceptable for her to do it to The Doctor.
And actually, i think the 'sluttiness' as some of you have put it is quite fitting given her character's age and good looks, coupled with the fact that she was about to be married. I mean... she liked the Doctor 2 years ago and he vanished so ending her relationship in favour of him never happened.
Now she's about to be married and he turns up again... she likes him more than her fiance but knows the Doctor would never be hers. Instead she decides she'd have one night with him before she is committed to the guys she CAN have.
Actually a pretty natural (if rather bad) decision given the circumstances.
I did not know the deal also, but it is also a nice TV show.
QuoteWeirdly, this was one of the episodes where I was really very aware of the sfx.. particularly when the doctor was on top of the building trying to stop the.. storm machine thing.. and also the fish monsters looking amusingly out of place.

Well, think of it this way, its a step up from modern day Cardiff. XD
Is it just me or was the whole Dream Lord idea a little too herbally sourced?
Didn't like the latest ep, just felt like a pointless filler with an OTT storyline to compensate. Dunno what Pond girl sees in ponytail man, seems like an utter prat to me.
I actually liked this episode. It was better than the week before lasts one imo.
I loved this episode, posessed pensioners were both hilarious and slightly scary, and I thought Toby Jones was fantastic as the Dream Lord. He managed to make the character so dark, teasing, and just generally a slimy, loathsome character. Which was exactly what was needed.
hear hear.. Dream Lord was done fantastically I must say. Then again I guess I just love characters like that so.. huzzah. What August said just thar.
Slightly interesting that.. the whole thing was about Amy's choice.. so would she choose Rory's world, in the countryside, or the Doctor's world in the tardis?
..then she technically ended up choosing the Doctor's world as the reality, har.
But.. yes. A good episode, I enjoyed it~ I do like things like this.. just a bit odd.
And the aliens being axe- and zimmer-frame-weilding-OAPs? Someone give simon nye a cigar.
oh and @pandemonium [because i keep forgetting this topic]: I didn't say it wasn't more acceptable this way round than the other.. but the fact that it is.. that worries me just a little, harr.. and being presented as comedy. Not just in this programme.. it appears all over the place.
I dunno. Just me then. Like I said, i'm not going to go on a protest or write strongly worded letters, but it unnerves me a little.
aaand @ALK: after rewatching.. yeah, the space fish look spiffy.. except for the bit where gilbert-fish exploded, haah.. but that bit where the doctor's on top of the tower.. just a bit.. hmmm.
Though the scenery.. for example right at the beginning.. and how they did everything else was fantastic.
..though was/is the water really that turquoise in Venice? :v
Still lovely, though. I'm a nerd, I watch the whole Confidential shebang, so that was pretty interesting.
Quote from: RocketMember002 on May 16, 2010, 22:22

made me amused because I think exactly the opposite of those two D:
I have to agree, the Dreamlord was fantastic.
When it was all like "The Doctor knows who you are" I just kept going "Don't be The Master, don't be The Master, don't be The Master". So I appreciated the ending they went with. It was a great "What If" episode.
New Villains=Yay
Old Villains=Boo
(though the Angels episode was riviting)
I enjoyed seeing the Dreamlord. angels episode was good from a series pivot point of view, but I found they lost some of the original terror from Blink. Not as scary for me.
There was nowhere near as much mindscrew (to use Mark's lovely word <3) in that episode as I'd hoped for ): I was expecting it to be like, choosing between a perfect dream or the truth of reality, either that or it would make me afraid to fall asleep that night! But noooo it was obvious from like halfway through that it was ALL a dream D: dgfgfhsd
And it was weird.. they should've just all decided to die in the TARDIS reality, because they were gonna die anyway there, so that they might've woken up in the other reality.. but then, if the Doctor knew that the Dream Lord was him anyway, he surely knew it was all a dream anyway and therefore should've just killed them all off in both realities! Ohh I am muchly confused ):
I thought the Dream Lord was played really well though.. and the weird plant biddies were kinda nifty haha.
Also I fall a little more in love with Matt Smith with every passing week.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought the water looked really weird xD it was decidedly grey last time I went to Venice P:
Maybe the fishpyres affected the colour?

The Doctor knew who the Dream Lord was quite early on, but he said himself he didn't know how he could be there. Therefore he
didn't know both were dreams until quite late. I do think he knew that both were dreams before Rory died and Amy made her choice, but didn't say anything to make her actually CHOOSE; takes the whole point away if he'd said "It doesn't matter, he's not really dead, both are dreams".
Or maybe he was just acting to try and make the whole thing look convincing?
This Doctor, that believable... Nah. I found my own way around it... Anytime I get caught up in trying to make that episode make sense, I just go to Youtube and call up Tallulah's song from Daleks in Manhattan. It cures all problems.
Yesterday's ep seemed good to me, shame that annoying corny father didn't die in a slow gory fashion though. Oh well, always next week for that.
Interesting story in the "Aliens" not actually being aliens, and sort of having more right to the planet than the humans do, actually looking forward to next week's one now. Slightly sick of stupid children running off and causing trouble by doing so, maybe he can die with his dad in a heartwarming finale.
I'm sure he was dissected in a slow and gory fashion. The fact it's before the watershed and a family show puts a bit of a stopper on how much they can do.
I thought this episode was brilliant. Really looked forward to it and I wasn't disappointed
Any body know how to pronounce the reptile thingys names?
Sigh-lore-ee-ans: Silurians

So they've brought back the Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans and now Silurians. All good. Loved this episode.

I personally cannot wait for part 2 hahaha watched Warriors Of The Deep just to get me in the mood before the first episode :D
can't say that I was enthusiastic about Cold Blood.. I mean, well.. finding the charred tardis piece was interesting but.. piff at the end otherwise |:
though i would think that, lol.
i'm clinging to rumours, that I am.
As i haven't really followed the classic series, I guess the silurians didn't have the same impact for me anyway q:
[really great makeup on them though i must say]
and I approve of scientistesque characters.
Nasreen was a bit spiffy also.
The ring was still there... It shouldn't have been.
If Rory now has never existed then there would have been no ring to be put into the TARDIS console. So why was the ring there?
Who is this Rory that everyone keeps talking about?
...amy's fiancee.
i think the ring is going to be an amazing plot device later in the series and brings rory back to life or somethign!

But maybe it is someone else, we have to see.

Ahh, but its inside the TARDIS, which makes rules of space and time a little less certain.
That episode had great tension, but not on an action level, on an emotional level. I may be ready to call episode of the series.

No see the whole point still gets caught in its own logic. Rory had the ring before he stepped onto the TARDIS. So with no Rory to become her fiance Amy never would have gotten the ring.... That means that the ring was never there to get put onto the console. I mean if it had been Amy carrying her mums wedding ring out of sentimentality, that I could buy. But with the current timeline we have a ring that Amy thinks has appeared from nowhere.
Why do I get the feeling that River Song is part of the answer?
oh wow. The entire show was strange. I hope that the Cybermen is coming soon. I WANT TO BELIEVE!
oh yeah Bring back the Modaians! I want to see an epic battle between them.

You might just be looking a bit to deep into it and quite possibly thinking of time as a staight line.
This may be a silly question, as I was distracted by my little brother a lot during the episode and so might've missed this being explained, but why did Amy remember the soldiers that were swallowed up by the void in Flesh and Stone, yet forget Rory when it took him?
Allegedly because "Rory was a part of Amy's life/timeline."
Yes Doctor, despite the fact that the clerics in Flesh and Stone weren't part of her timeline.
I don't think we've seen the last of Rory.

She remembered them because she has a different perspective on the universe now due to being a time traveller. But the thing is, because Rory's a time traveller it didn't change her perspective on him so in theory (i say theory!) she would forget him unless she concentrated on his memory; which she didn't so yeah.
..and this weeks episode was really rather fantastic. Now tbh I wasn't really expecting much from this episode but I really enjoyed it and its got to be one of my favorites.
^^^
Same, I expected it to be a terribad filler with a famous person crammed in it to draw in viewers, the alien was crap, but overall the episode was genuinely touching. Especially the end, I'm glad they didn't make him survive just for a happy ending.
Regardless of how decent this filler was, next week seems horribly fillery, and expectations are low. They really need to sack the person that does the "Next week" clips, they suck out the lead up that makes the rest of it believable and worth watching.
Next week's will be pretty much be the cram before the storm (i.e. the 2 part finale)
Nice episode; not much I can say about it other than it was enjoyable, loved Bill Nighy and I can now wait for a flood of Vincent x Amy fanfiction to flood the internet.
Also, I've been to the Musée d'Orsay. I don't remember Van Gogh having a whole room to himself; at least not a room like that. Granted, it was the late 90's when I went. But it was thoroughly enjoyable!
I think it was meant to be a one time exhibition in 2010. I remember there was one in London that I went to, not sure if it's the same company. Still, it was a pretty cool and touching episode. (I think my mum cried at some point, she's a wuss like that ¬_¬).

My dad looked fit to burst to tears at the end. He never really cries if their is a TV or movie.
teen again, he did cry during the Green Mile. that's why he doesn't want to show it to us.
I was quite saddened by this week's episode :(
For an Aesop lead episode... This was quite a good one. It was almost as effective as the humanization of Donna during that Ood 2 parter.
watched it, and it was okay seeing as how i dislike Amy and 11.
Genuinely was impressed by that episode. I like it how the Doctor was like 'Ooh a monster! Let's Go!' =D
Loved how they kept so true to Van Gogh's life, while making it into a good doctor who episode. Yet they didn't make it all happy and he actually suffered the same fate, while making those differences. It was a nice touch having him go back and see how admired he is...
Beats me how he could have been depressed knowing that his pictures will be the most famous. But I liked the episode, didn't like the monster they might have been able to have done something differently like that woman who blamed vincent for the death of that girl. It doesn't need to have monsters in as long as there is a villain.
Van Gough carried that episode and I wanted to give him a hug at the end of it.

I liked it when they took Van Gogh to 2010 to show him that he is appreciated in the future :D very heart warming and tragic that despite this he still took his life a few months later :(
Very good series :D

I suppose it's a lot of pressure to live up to, and he knew he wouldn't be appreciated till long after he's dead. That and clinical depression doesn't really require a logical reason for you to get so depressed you want to kill yourself, assuming he had it.

Well one was in the trailer lol
If this universes cybermen are coming back I wonder how different they'll look to the parallel ones. The obvious thing they won't have is the big C in the middle of them.
That ep today...was it a tardis up there, or just a time machine? Didn't catch it. Also...did they even say who built it? Bit of a weird ending.
Next week looks good.
Shouldn't be reading a Dr Who thread if you don't want to know what's happening in Dr Who. ;p
Could we perhaps hide spoilers in our posts please? :P
...I want the Doctor to be my flat mate. There I said it.
He can headbutt me anytime if it can explain things like that. XD
Tonights episode was really good, love the partnering of James Corden and Matt Smith. Next week's gonna be good!
I liked this one, there wasn't constant action like always and we got to see a more humanised doctor yet still the same. Just goes to show that you don't need action every five minutes and monsters to have a good episode.
Defiantly looking forward to next week now although in another way I'm not, because then theres only one episode left that is until Christmas.
if Everyone is coming to the same place then I expect Omega to arrive as well. That way it will be complete.
BRING BACK OMEGA!
haha! Football doctor!
A great episode; although from the trailers, I thought the couple in the flat below were going to be in on the guy upstairs' act (We've got to get me a man, etc.)
My friend uses some magical TV device to watch the newer Doctor Who, and every once in a while invites me over to watch especially creepy episodes.
...Utack fears the Weeping Angels...
I loved this one and I can't wait for next week's. I love this series because I feel good at the end of each episode, unlike the previous series.

It did rather seem odd that it would be something so specific as a TARDIS. And wait... the TARDIS was grown anyway. O_o
I've really enjoyed this series so far but it seems its too distant from series 4. I know theres new production team, logos etc.. but I just wish it had some sort of connection to make it sync up with series 4 for me. Theres nothing wrong with series but I'd just like a connection please. Maybe a character like Captain Jack or an episode thats a sequel from a 10th doctor episode.
I don't count the weeping angle episodes as a sequel episode because 10 wasn't really the main character in the episode.
I'll watch the episode tomorrow because I heard James Corden was in it xD
My favourite was the Vincent van Gogh episode - it was heartwrenching to see Vincent's character in such depression :(
I'm re-watching the series from start to finish so I watch The Lodger on Friday afternoon. I think I'm a big fan of both Time of Angels and Flesh and Stone...but Van Gogh was very good indeed. =] They all were really... =p
It's been a very different series compared to previous for reasons I'm not sure. Maybe just because its a new Doctor.
Eeeeep. Anyone seen the clip of the next episode on doctor who online?
If done well, it could be epic
Ohh it will be epic! Looks amazing and I wish it were Saturday already.
I have my misgivings. It could just be that I still don't like Amelia though. As such I will probably vomit when they try and sell her as the one who the multiverse revolves around. After all that was the position for the DoctorDonna.
One of the interesting things to look at in this episode is whether this will be River Song's first encounter of the Doctor and Amy...maybe this will be her first encounter of Amy, but will have already met the 11th...or will have already met Amy, but with the 12th Doctor...or if she has met both of them, then we will expect another River Song episode next series...hmmm
I wonder if we can land lucky and have them kill Amy at the climax of the two episodes. Karen is a good actress for a scottish chick. Which makes her an excellent actress by English standards (Phenomenal compared to the Corden Creature.) But the scripting for Amelia has just left me turned off to her.

if this were to happen i would probably watch it again.
The only thing I like about Amy/Amelia is she's Scottish. I hate her 'sassyness' and her... everything really. She's been my least favourite companion since Rose, and she will never match up to Donna. Ever.
The only character I really liked was Rory (i think his name is) and now he's dead *shakefist*
Rory and Jeff. Butr other than that we pretty much agree. I wonder if Moffat can bring Donna back as long as we ask nicely?
I hope not. Donna was just about the most annoying companion so far, on par with Rose. Though I can't stand Catherine Tate anyway.
So far the only companions in the new series that I've been able to stand are Martha and Amy. I didn't like Rose. I didn't like Donna. Mickey was hardly a companion, so I don't count him. There was Adam from the first series but, like Mickey, he wasn't there much so I don't count him either. Then there's Captain Jack. I don't mind him in Torchwood, but he doesn't seem right as a companion.
Martha on the other hand, I didn't mind. And Amy I absolutely love. She's not too "Ooh Doctor, I love you" like Rose was and she doesn't constantly shout like Donna. For me, that makes her perfect.
(This has nothing to do with the fact that she's hot. Honest.)Quote from: shadoweveeX5 on June 19, 2010, 14:55

I doubt it since she's signed on for the next series.*SPOILER*

Good episode, but mightily confusing in places. And I can't help but think that things were badly explained and a little too quick.
Spoilers:
I liked the twist, disliked the lack of the "NEXT TIME:" clip. I was annoyed at the return of the prat, glad that he's not really the prat. Much explanation required next week, though.
The lack of a NEXT TIME trailer is a good thing. We have no idea what happens next that way for the big climax (Unless you've been reading spoilers, tuttut :P)
Can't say I was too confused. Tardis is gonna blow up apparently ending everything, Doctor is only one to the alien's knowledge that can drive the thing, so they devise a plan together involving Amy, her memories, robot Romans, and a big box to shove the Doctor into. :P
Quote from: Angelic Lapras King on June 19, 2010, 20:12
The lack of a NEXT TIME trailer is a good thing.
Agreed. It makes next week more unknown. It was what I admired from shows like Heroes and Flash Forward.
I liked it. Good twist, very sad too.
This week's episode...there's only one thing I can say...
THINGS JUST GOT REAL
That was just brilliant...loved how it tied in times from previous episodes to set up the story. Rory turning out to be an Auton was a shock, as I thought he had properly come back...It was rather sad when she finally remembers him, he shoots her despite trying so hard to resist...=/
The thing that got me was where did all these monsters come from? I mean...Dalek's make sense...but the Cybus Cybermen are seen to be destroyed...Those Siluiran's were meant to be gas'd/in hibernation...The Sicorax were destroyed...as were the Sontarans...I know it doesn't seem important...but there's no explanation how those are alive...
Did anyone else notice the reference to Captain Jack in the episode? He appears to now have one arm...or dead... You know when River Song is in that place and drugs the big blue man...
1. It's the same place we last see Captain Jack at the end of series 4 when the Doctor says goodbye to him. Same aliens can be seen in the background...
2. The blue guys intends to give River Song a vortex manipulator...the thing that Captain Jack had on his wrist so he could jump through time...
3. He says "I borrowed it off a handsome time agent"
4. He says "I wanted it off the wrist" to the servent alien dude...
^
Wow, lol, that actually makes sense. I didn't listen to that conversation as closely. So I guess it refers to that lol.
Quote from: Latias Tamer on June 20, 2010, 01:022. The blue guys intends to give River Song a vortex manipulator...the thing that Captain Jack had on his wrist so he could jump through time...
But the Doctor locked it at the end of Last of the Time Lords so Captain Jack couldn't jump about through time didn't he?
Also on the subject of the aliens. I can understand how the Daleks got there; they can travel through space and time after all. But the Cybermen? From what I can remember, the original series Cybermen had time travel, but the Cybusmen weren't that advanced. The last time they were seen, they had been working on their first spaceship; the CyberKing. The only reason they appeared in Victorian London was because they fell out of the Void or something didn't they.
The Sontarans don't have time travel, and neither do the Nestene and the Autons. The Silurians shouldn't have been there since, at this point in history they should have still been hibernating. Don't know much about the Hoix, Blowfish or the Roboforms or their tech, so can't say for certain on them. The Sycorax didn't seem advanced enough, and neither do the Weevils. Plus, has the Doctor ever even been in conflict with the Weevils?
Then theres the Judoon and the Atraxi; don't know if they possessed time travel, but they were both sort of space police; surely they would know that the Doctor wouldn't blow up the universe.
And one other thing; I've not seem many old series episodes, and none with the Draconians in, but from what I've read, weren't they allies of the Doctor. Or at least, enemies of the Daleks. Why would they work with the Daleks to trap the Doctor?
And one very last thing; I see the Cybermen are stealing catchphrases now, "You will be assimilated". I'm surprised there wasn't a "Resistance is futile" in there as well.

He used it to contact a ship on the edge of the Solar System who then beamed him up; he didn't use it to time travel.

Well perhaps someone hacked it.
More likely the one River got was from a different Time Agent. John Hart perhaps. Or just any other one around.

Ah, but the time cracks enable time travel, which is how the Cybermen were in Victorian London in the first place. Therefore any of these potentially have time travel. Ironically, though, if they use the cracks to travel through time in order to prevent the cracks from happening, they create a time paradox. If they successfully use the cracks, it means they don't succeed. If they did succeed, they wouldn't be able to be there because there would be no crack.
Also, we know from The Doctor's talking about them that the Silurians did exist on other planets, he did not even know about the ones underground on Earth until he encountered them. Therefore, SOME may still not be in hibernation.

At least the Judoon were shown to be incredibly stupid and heavy-handed when enforcing the law, and aren't in the habit of asking questions (like when they vapourised that guy in the hospital for assault). Therefore, they would see the crime (blowing up the Tardis and making cracks in the universe), and, like the others in the alliance, merely assume the Doctor was responsible and punish him accordingly.
I loved it... Rory looked rather fetching in that Roman armour as well.

That was the most impressive moment i ever seen. the ending was amazing. i would love to talk about it some more but don't want due to spoilers.

But who is stupid enough to come onto this topic once an episode has aired and they haven't yet seen it?
Perhaps the pandorica is keeping The Doctor safe? I mean maybe the alliance know nobody else apart from The Doctor can save them and everything but if they were to ask him to save them he'd think its a trap. So they trapped him to save all the universes, just a thought.

An interesting idea... But it doesn't match with the known behaviour patterns of most of the races in the Alliance. Especially not the Judoon or the Daleks. (Almost called them Scarrens.)
loved the ending.
I loved the idea of.. a sudden reveal, that all along the Doctor is the villain, he's the one who "drops out from the sky and tears your world apart".
Okay, so I know that isn't what it actually is.. and he'll more than likely save the world or be on the "good" side.
But hey!
We had all of this "the oncoming storm" stuff before.. and I really do love the idea that.. from the other side of the fence, the Doctor is the monster. Probably the Doctor and the humans, because Earth is the centre of the universe for whatever reason [=IMPACT].
And it was nice to have a glimpse of that. That all of these "villains" are so terrified and convinced that the Doctor will finally actually destroy the universe, that they've joined forces to stop him.
but hey ho.
I loved the music.. I loved the way it was presented. I loved the twist of the Pandorica [don't care if i was the only one who wasn't expecting it to be empty damnit :v] and what it actually was. I loved the moment when River opened the tardis doors, not in a sort of "lol yay she ded", but in a.. the triumphant music as she opened them, and then you saw the concrete wall.
I loved how the music cut off mid-note as the screen faded out.
simple things, but hey :V
also.. Rory!
huzzah on a stick <3
the scene where he's trying to stop himself from losing who he is.. should have made me laugh :v with the robot noises and the like.. the kind of thing I'd laugh at.
But i didn't, which is a bit.. hur. When Amy said "..WILLIAMS!" i just about nearly baw'd.
Ehh, I do love rory just a bit. I'm not honestly expecting him to survive the finale, seeing as he was constructed out of a snapshot of Amy's memories.. as well as not actually being human.
I mean, he COULD survive [and.. moffat does seem to like happy endings].. but even if he doesn't, it's better than him not being remembered at all c:
And I don't want to get my hopes up that he'll be back next series.
But.. if nothing else, we got to see Arthur Darvill dressed up as a Roman soldier, which is rather blessable.
"I died and turned into a Roman. It's very distracting."
So.. yeah.
I am however expecting the ENDOFTHEUNIVERSEOMG and DEADAMYOMG and TRAPPEDDOCTOROMG to be reversed or fixed or something.. either that or we have to look forward to an hour-long silence-and-blank-screen combo on Saturday.
And of course.. River has to be there to meet the Doctor in the Time of Angels.. though they keep harping on about how "time can be rewritten". Still.. there're too many loose ends with River for them to kill her off now. That "she killed a man" thing is more likely than not building up to a REVELATION sometime.
hmm what else
borg cyberman amused me.. as did tentacool-cyberman-head.. the scene when rory and the Doctor met amused me.. as well as the SURPRISE idea- "we'd be killed instantly!"- and.. oh, the scene where River was poking about in Amy's house was deliciously creepy. No idea what or who was there.. or even if we'll be told [as it was said that the Alliance o' Evil created the scenario out of Amy's head.. so moffat might just leave it vague like that].
Doo hope that they won't make her into a Donnaesque "most important person/timelines converging omg!"
No secret that I'm not a big fan of Amy.. but even if i did quite like her.. eh, it's still more of the same D:
oh, but.. the Doctor saying "doesn't it bother you that your life doesn't make any sense?" and saying how her house is so empty.. does make me think that Rory isn't the first person in her life who fell into a crack in time.
Did young Amelia say in the first episode that her parents were dead, or just.. that she didn't have any?
Of course if her parents didn't exist it would technically mean she shouldn't, but the plot is more than pointing to the fact that she's a special snowflake so that doesn't mean too much.
Sooo.. yeah.
Also heee, Fry particles in Stonehenge~
k i've stopped adding to this marathon post now.

I know... it was bad enough when they tried to use it to make the awesome of Donna into a cheap Rose knock off.... Donna is on the greatest companions of all times list. The blonde was just a bookmark.
My guess for Episode Thirteen:
If this scenario was created from Amy's memories, then if the Doctor can give her a NEW memory, that'll get created as well. With this new piece of kit, maybe he can reverse everything.
Maybe it's the Doctor himself he needs to put in her head. After all, that's the one thing in her bedroom that didn't get created.
Also, maybe the Doctor will seal the cracks by jumping into one himself. That's hinted at in Flesh and Stone. Amy's memories keep him alive (a running theme throughout this series is that people are kept alive by memories), but the Doctor's unwritten - the entire world doesn't know he exists.
His companions still remember, of course (time-travellers have a different perspective), and all his deeds are still done (after all, the angels still crashed the Byzantium even though they were unwritten).
That's my guess.
See it still has that grating Amy is all things aspect to it. Karen is a kicking Scottish angel, but Amy needs defenestrated.

you do know that the time war might come back and all...the doctor wasn't there to stop the time lords and also it would mean that none of this would happen in the first place.

It would be a great way to end the series, if the Doctor never existed and every story in the whole series never happened and it would like real life. 'Course, it wouldn't wipe the Daleks from existence, or anything else which has attacked the Earth.
Just found this interview (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s7/doctor-who/tubetalk/a232067/steven-moffat-talks-who-finale-future.html). Looks like Moffat isn't giving anything away.
What a weird, wonderful, complicated ending that was.
And still things to be answered, hurry up Christmas. :P
Just seemed weird and complicated to me, didn't have that epic feeling other finales had. :(
well, I really quite enjoyed it :D
this is usually where I'd type out an unnecessarily long and bewildering post about the episode, including thoughts, predictions, plotholes and comments on darvill in a security guard uniform.
Buut.. no.
I enjoyed it. Equal parts "hoamg!" and.. being amused. dancing. FEZ!
I also realised that even though River is incredibly annoying [and.. I really don't like the "hello sweetie" thing].. I still think she's rather swish. Oh well.
So, couple more questions ["but why did the tardis explo-- oh, never mind, christmas ep plot!"] but overall a satisfyingly odd episode and a ridiculously happy ending, bless.
Bits of it still bug me, and bits were amazingly narmy but.. I think that's normal o.o
Oh well, my mum just got home so I'm about to watch the episode again, har.
OK.. I guess I might get used to the new version of Amelia and Rory
...wait, I dont get it. Oh well, dancing was lulz.
Great ending to the series. Looking forward to the Christmas ep.
Loved this episode. Much better in my opinion than the constant Dalek reappearances. Admittedly they did appear, but not for another screen hogging finale.
One thing that I'm a little confused about; is the current Rory the real one, or the Auton? Because when the Doctor made Big Bang 2, he should have returned. And since the Auton duplicate was pulled from Amy's mind, he didn't really have anything to do with the real one, but when the Doctor came back at the wedding reception he mentioned something about being plastic.
Also, that would mean that he's about 2000 years old; that's older than the Doctor! And if he's the real one, Amy is still technically around 2021 years old now isn't she. That's a hell of an age gap if you ask me. :P
Loved this episode so much! It's unbelievable how one day can change your mind about a lot of things. After catching up on The Hungry Earth, Cold Blood, The Lodger & The Pandorica Opens on iPlayer I was pretty hyped up for tonight's episode. Then after tonight's episode I just thought "Hey, losing Russel and David wasn't necessarily bad." I really like Matt Smith now and definitely love Stephen Moffat. I didn't find it as confusing as my little sister and my mam but at some parts I did scratch my head. Just downloaded the Adventure Games and I'm thinking of buying the DVD and the three books... Oh, and Christmas can't come fast enough!
Well...Steven Moffett has outdone himself... absolutely brilliant! Loved the episode to bits and I just want to watch over and over. Such a mix of comedy, emotion and adventure through out the whole episode.
I'm interested in how many times I saixd 'what?' in the first five minutes...and then 'Oh!' is the 5 minutes after. The way it was written made it so easy to understand when it could have been potentially confusing. You realised 'Oh...that's what that was!' immediately...
Fez <3
Matt Smith's dancing <3
Extremely clever how questions from the series so far we answered...especially what the '2nd doctor' from flesh and stone and the sillouette you see in the very first episode of the episode 13 Doctor.
Yet it leaves questions for the next series of what the silence was...and what actually caused the Tardis to explode...
Genius Moffett...genius...
Fabulous finale; tied everything up incredibly well, such as the Flesh and Stone part (the "mistake" that the Doctor had his jacket when it got taken from him by the angels...NOT A MISTAKE!), the cracks in general and such. And damn you Moffat! Now I have to wait until next series to find out who the Big Bad is! And why couldn't the Stone Dalek pull a Dalek (2005), so all the stone would chip off, revealing the Dalek Eternal underneath (fitting name for it's situation!).
My heart literally warmed up when it was revealed how "The Lone Centurion" gallantly protected the Box for 1,894 years.
Also...how did the Doctor escape the Pandorica to give Auton!Rory the Sonic Screwdriver to free the Doctor in the first place?
Ah, who cares, have some Restrained Amy.

That was him from the future. After he escaped the Pandorica, he went to give him the sonic. From the future. It's meant to be confusing.
Stabilized time loop. The Doctor set at least two in motion as part of an impressive Xanatos Gambit
The thing that's so funny is that when the Doctor comes across the dying Doctor, the dying doctor tells the Doctor his plan...which he got from the previous dying Doctor...so we have no idea where the actual plan came from...and in the end, it beomes a fixed loop....so it's essentially the same thing happening forever...within that period of time...which is clever but doesn't make sense, because we can't really comprehend it... =D I'm sure the Doctor could explain what its called though...
^wibbly-wobbly.. timey wimey.
if loopy time loops aren't that big a deal.. I wonder why he went to the effort of.. writing out the post-it note again and getting a new leaflet to post through Amelia's door :v
I did like how he kept trying to fix all the.. "right, where did you get that from? when did i tell you this?" things though, hur.. rather Blink-ish.
I sense that Moffat likes things like that. I APPROVE.
And we finally get a sort-of explanation lol for the duck pond that doesn't have any ducks.

"That mop! That was what you looked like when you gave me the screwdriver 2000 years ago!"
I loved the episode, I loved how it had all been tied in to the previous episodes, really clever.
I thought the most brilliant part was the play on 'Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.' That was sheer genius imo.
Just watched it on iPlayer and I loved it. I'm glad it doesn't start a new story arc and continues the same one. I felt RTD's ones were really to try and relive the older seasons rather than try something new. I also love the references back to how the Doctor started his adventures and how he came to be called that.

The ducks that never were.
Anyone evil enough to wipe out a bunch of ducks from existence is truly pure evil. :P
The Ducks? It's quite simple.
Amy is the sole duck whom inhabited the pond.

My main fear to come out of this is that people will start to think fezes are cool.
I agree with River and Amy on this point: FEZES ARE NOT COOL!!!
I sort of liked the Fez. Anyway, didn't he comment that he could always buy a new one.. Who knows, maybe in Series 6.. :P
Fezzes are cool.

Fezzes are cool.
And the OMGDEAD doctor that Rory and Amy saw was not wearing a fez.
Therefore by conspiring with River to get the fez off the Doctor's head, Amy showed that she in actuallity wants the Doctor dead.
HOLY SNAP IT'S UNSHAKEABLE PROOF OF HER MALICIOUSNESS, shh.

I hope it's a cool/unusual one :)
true dat
and on not the same lines whatsoever really, Neil Gaiman's writing an episode for the next series.
OH DEAR NOW I HAVE HIGH HOPES
also on watching the Confidential.. just now.. i love how the initial reaction to Moffat's "i'm putting matt in a fez" was "oh my god no he'll never take it off D: he'll want to wear it for the whole of the next series! it'll be glued to his head! he'll be wearing it with his own clothes! it'll be a nightmare! hyperventilate"
"no no, i have a cunning plan! as soon as he's got the fez.. i'm going to kill the fez."
fez sales will increase tenfold!
so.. mathematically.. they'll stay at zero. Probably for the best. few can pull them off, i guess.
sooo.. next series, a monocle? pince-nez?
hang on I was talking about Neil Gaiman writing an episode [he's finished the first draft of the script, apparently]. how did I get distracted by headgear.. again?

All i know of it is this: It
was called "the house of nothing", but now it isn't. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment_and_arts/10146657.stm)
It's to be shot in August, so if you're sneaking around the internet then there'll probably be more info around that time.
INFORMATION.

Hey guys. I thought this topic needed some sort of Dr Who poll, so I've added a best doctor poll. It will be interesting to see people's opinions.
Has anyone played the doctor who video games on the BBC website yet? Im so pleased they've gone back to the original Mondas cybermen in the game. Im just hoping they'll do the same in the next series that they're in. :D
God Damn it! I just can't past the part where you need to put the components of the Vision disrupter! I hate the fact that you have to sart all over again if it just touch the walls. Why did they think they would design it like that! :mad:
the game lags like crap on my computer (well, crap doesn't really lag...unless you're constipated).
Wish I listened to the requirement thingymabobies.
is it christmas yet?
=|8
yes, last week. where were you?
haven't tried the online game.. er.. guess i'm not that interested after all o.o
dunno about the poll. can't pick one for sure.. i like quite a few. thank goodness i haven't watched series of all the doctors, or it'd be an even more annoying choice that i probably still won't vote for.
no option for richard e grant?

Doctor Who games anyone? (http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2010/08/doctor_who_to_land_the_tardis_on_wii_and_ds)
Am a bit worried if the developers can make good of it. Hmm..... :/
I have now officially revised my opinion of Amy. I rewatched the Silurian two part episode and she does seem to take on the Doctor slot rather well when she has to.
Quote from: Hahex and Mijumaru on July 27, 2010, 20:34
Or Rowan Atkinson?
With no trace of irony, I honestly, genuinely think Joanna Lumley would make an incredible Doctor if she took on the role full time. I'm thrilled she did the Children in Need sketch. I can dream.
irony? where?
naw, if the doctor was going to be female, i'd be one of those people who'd think lumley a bit excellent for it.
of course, we all know that the curse of fatal death actually happened, and that all subsequent episodes are just a dream of the lumley-doctor
mentioned richard e grant because he played two non-canon doctors, and two negatives make a positive.. right?
don't argue with me, I have sci-fi logic and one day i might work out how to use it.
oh, right, new games
er.. they could be good.. they could be terribly embarrassing.. but.. they're probably going to sell anyway. and be aimed at the little kids so that parents can buy them regardless.. so.. yeah i have nothing revolutionary to say on the subject o.o
never even played those downloadable games.. but from what I hear they're rather swish, so.. if they're similar to that they should go down well?
Lumley would make an interesting Doctor. Personally I think it'll be Genny taking on her fathers title eventually.

Oh dear god no!!!
That would be abominable
was slightly surprised that jenny didn't get her own series or something.. then again we already had Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures so.. i dunno, hur. But still.. not convinced that we'll see her again unless she's regenerated and become river song omg so.. could happen. Or she'll just be forgotten, hur.
...on the subject of spin-offs..
torchwood's to have another series in 2011, a sort of UK/US medley subtitled "The New World". Or something (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/cult/s8/torchwood/news/a224000/torchwood-confirmed-for-fourth-series.html).
It'll be a ten-part series (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/cult/s8/torchwood/news/a264246/new-torchwood-details-revealed.html). Based around someone other than Gwen, it seems. Though the article also mentions Jack returning to earth due to his "unstated love for gwen" so.. oh dear.
and while I'm posting news links..
The new DW series will be split in two (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s7/doctor-who/news/a269381/new-doctor-who-series-split-in-two.html), one bit in the spring, one in the autumn. With cliffhangers, of course.
And a quick summary of a Moffat interview thing (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s7/doctor-who/news/a269374/live-blog-doctor-who-masterclass.html).
11.36am: Trailer for the Christmas special! Moffat: "Watch it and wait." Amy saying "time can be re-written". Doctor saying he's "the ghost of Christmas past". Short but sweet.
11.37am: On next series: "You will find out who River Song is. Definitely."
Wow, split the series in half? Isn't that sort of what was done before the 90s? Well I can't wait for this then.
"Unstated love for Gwen." Would that be the same love that had him bed Ianto and spend about a millenium chasing The Doctor?
Quote from: Halfwit on August 29, 2010, 12:00
But still.. not convinced that we'll see her again unless she's regenerated and become river song omg so.. could happen. Or she'll just be forgotten, hur.
Well it was Moffat that convinced RTD to have her come back to life at the end, so I think he may still be waiting for the right opportunity...
Also, from what I've heard, there might not be Dalek's in this series because Moffat said something about "There will be a Dalek story when we've got a good idea for a Dalek story."
@jenny-resurrection: oh really?
that i did not know, ta.
now I'm just expect moffat to do something interesting with the character. huh.
and.. as for daleks.. well, they'd planned out all the special ranks for the new daleks with their colours and everything, so.. i assumed they had something. So maybe not :v
i guess that "Victory of the Daleks" didn't exactly go down as well as the others
even though it had daleks serving tea so.. if they want to wait a while before writing another one.. makes sense i guess.
though i'd say that it's too late to say "we don't want daleks for the sake of it" because.. they really are something habitual now, right? though a series without them may be good. You watch some series and it's not "i wonder if they'll show up".
[vaguely] speaking of which, Gatiss has another story for this series which the director seems to like (http://twitter.com/rclarkie/status/20321322261), so that's nice.

that'd be the one. 'Cause gwen is a special snowflake, which is why she got a happy ending after Children of Earth while nobody else did.. despite the fact that she was generally useless and annoying and cheated on rhys with with owen and i don't even know any more but i'm rather glad that we're getting a new character
someone else to be annoyed at <:
/optimist
Daleks are quite an important part of the show. Guess 1 Series won't hurt, but I'll miss em :<

It was also a pretty weak episode that any other alien could have been better used in tbh.
I wish they would have 2-3 series now without either the Cybermen or the Daleks... it gets old.
Well the first time I watched it I was slightly drunk due to a uni event, so I innitially had no idea what was going on. D=
Also, did anyone watch Doctor Who at the proms last night on BBC3!? =D
The proms was awesome~~!
That kid was brilliant. He deserves an epic badge of epicary.
Also, Tennant and Smith getting all votes? It's a sad day in Doctor Who history.

Despite my normal hatred for using the word in that context I could almost agree with calling her special. At least River manages to forward the plot in character.
I mean we were told that River was pretty much a cross between Agent Gibbs (NCIS) favourite lust object and James Bond so her escape from Storm Cage in the Pandorica two parter was classic River.
Being from the new generation fan of Doctor Who, along with my sis, I'll say David Tennant. Though my favourite part in Doctor Who is when the Eleventh Doctor got harassed by Amy Pond, played by Katie Gillan (did I got her name right? And is she Scottish?)
Right on both counts... I prefer Amy and River as a tag team though.

Just got a boxset of Seasons 1 to 4 for cheap.
Gonna be fine till the Xmas special... XD
So Daniel Mays is appearing in the Gatiss episode (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/cult/s7/doctor-who/news/a276320/three-cast-in-new-doctor-who.html). I don't even.
[though now of course I'm thinking, "oh, shame, he would have made a good Master..."
guessing his role in the episode won't be that kind of character though, har.
[for those of you who watched Ashes to Ashes, he played DCI Jim Keats.]
ah, yes. episode name is apparently What Are Little Boys Made Of?
possibly creepy child episode yes?
Not new news, but I keep forgetting to check for things.
oh, and there'll be another series of games (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/s7/doctor-who/news/a277773/doctor-who-adventure-games-to-return.html).
Gattiss does creepy very well. For reference see his character on Sherlock.
though he's just writing this one, not acting in it. unless he has another cameo <:
but yes, i'd agree.
his mycroft is my favourite to date [unless the rumours about stephen fry playing mycroft in the next sh movie are true...]
i mean, yes.
the idiot's lantern and the unquiet dead.. creepy in a ridiculous kind of way.
I LIKE THE WAY HIS MIND WORKS.
and now I want to watch the Lazarus Experiment again, lol.
though i always found lazarus to be more amusing than creepy.. might be the giant evil monster part of it.
it has been so long since i watched that series |:
except for the series finale, cough er.. quick. add something to this post to make it slightly more than just ramblings.
Suranne Jones (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/cult/s7/doctor-who/news/a278406/suranne-jones-cast-in-doctor-who.html) will feature in the Neil Gaiman episode [ep3], playing a girl called Idris.
QuoteGaiman himself praised the actress, calling her "beautiful, funny and strange".
"Suranne is marvellous," he said. "It's the kind of role that people will remember forever, so we needed someone who was able to pull that off, and to keep up with Matt Smith. And bite him. Suranne does all three."
i'd love it if they made a Classic Adventure Games series with each episode with a classic Doctor and companion/companions and then maybe for a 5th final episode, the 4 Classics are joined by the 11th for a big 5 Doctors finale. X3
well, it's entirely possible [also, monies].. would be surprised if they never did a "x doctors" gathering thing again though.
..I've never played these games and am feeling as though i ought to.. at the very least, I would be able to give better constructed answers.
on a lighter note

i haven't watched it in so long.
..wait am i focusing on the wrong thing again
i mean
yes, terrible news.
bloody actors, appearing in our shows.
er.. quick, pretend there's a more solid purpose to this post.
oh look, there're a couple of neil gaiman-related DW details (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/cult/s7/doctor-who/news/a280209/neil-gaiman-reveals-new-who-details.html).
Wow, it seems that the Doctor can officially go on forever now. Apparently the BBC has ditched the 12 regenerations limit (http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2010/oct/12/doctor-who-immortal-reveals-bbc).
QuoteThe moment comes in the CBBC spin-off show, The Sarah Jane Adventures, which stars former companion Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith. Matt Smith, who plays the current Doctor Who, guest stars in a two-part episode called The Death of the Doctor, to be screened on October 25 and 26. While the Doctor and Clyde Langer, played by Daniel Anthony, are in the process of outwitting spooky vulture undertakers the Shansheeth, Clyde asks how many times he can regenerate. The Doctor indicates that there is no limit. The action continues.
I brought the Series 4 Specials Soundtrack last week. It's absolutely amazing and the end of Disc two is perfectly constructed to give an emotional goodbye to 10, and introduce 11. Bravo indeed Murray Gold!

Well, if there's money to be made. ;P
Well as you should know, our good old Doctor will be in this weeks Sarah Jane Adventures, titled 'Death of the Doctor'. They will be on Monday and Tuesday at 5:15 on CBBC, so be sure to check it out! It also features Katy Manning, companion of the 3rd Doctor.
It may not be until Monday, but doesn't stop me from getting all excited... Can't wait! =D
Also has a hot new character apparently... Dear Finn.
Can't say Sarah Jane appeals to me. Yeah, he wrote some good stuff (And some bad) in Dr Who, but one thing I find with RTD is he can't really come up with good new monsters, and the ones in the trailer seem to deprecate that.
And no, I havent forgive him for the Sliveen... <_<
UPDATE
In case you missed it, the trailer to this year's Xmas Special (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bEOrsJkijE)
By god, it kicks the other Xmas specials right in the you know what. XD
Yeah I saw it... to qoute Sir Sean Connery
I'm waiting to be impressed.
Well, wait no more, for the episode broadcasts in ten minutes.
Er. Yes.
Or prepare to be disappointed. Either works.
Hopefully my family will come and watch it too. Unlike last year.
Piff. PIFF I SAY.
I wish I could hear a word that was being said! ^^;
a wonderful combination of little kids and noisy neighbours is rather.. frustrating.. and now Mum has come over, said "Phew, we can watch it now," and proceeded to have a conversation with me.. humbug ^^;
Still, it seems sweet enough, omg flying shark <3
and Katherine Jenkins <3333333333
It was all right.
Nothing awfully bad, but then again, nothing spectacularly good, either.
Aside from Karen in that skirt. Sorry Rory, but my eyes are firmly upon it.
And Nazis in the upcoming series? Interesting. Unless its ALIEN WORLD WITH ROBOTS DRESSED AS NAZIS FOR A WACKY DEATHMATCH GAME THING.
Oh yeah, and the Stetson. I own one already, so I don't need Matt to tell me it's cool.
Quote from: Winston Payne on December 25, 2010, 19:24

LALALALALALALALALALALALALA, NOT LISTENING.
That was f-ing fantastic! It kicked RTD and all his Christmas "Specials" right in the balls!!! So damn unique even though it was based on A Christmas Carol, but damnit, that was the best ever twisted take on A Christmas Carol ever! XD Flying fishies and Shark, yay. :3
And the preview for next year! So much to discuss. Dunno who the Doctor was referring to with the old eyes so I'll trust you'll fill me in on that if its an old monster coming back. The Ood return, pretty much the best monster RTD could think of, so imagine what the hell Moffat could do with them!!!! =D Breaded Doctor I noticed too, and such. Only think I did wish for was an appearance of a regular enemy, just so I know if we're getting a Dalek or even a Cybermen ep.
And when the Doctor said "All things must come to an end" to Amy, you thinking this could be Amy Pond's last season me wonders?
now, bowler hats, they are cool.
wait i forget what i was talking about
ah, right.
yeah, I quite liked it. didn't have me jumping up and down with THISISFANTASTIC but yeah, it was nice to sit and watch.
had a similar problem to kay while watching it.. not as bad, though: just my mum's friends who came over for christmas lunch.. so they had a conversation after the first five minutes.. and then left midway through so we had to do goodbyes
but.. yes. I liked it.
Mention of baby's heads with spiders' legs made me amused
SHOEHORN A WEE BIT OF SCARING-OF-CHILDREN IN THERE MOFFAT
also the startrekness of the beginning caused amusement
and fff I want a fog fish
maybe a few
hey, makes about as much sense as flying reindeer.
and his usual timey-wimey stuff which I still like
errr
I shall have to watch the Series 6 trailer again.. but my sister is watching strictly come dancing at the moment. eh, it'll be on youtube in a bit so never mind.
I did see.. moving dolls.. and requests for fezzes.. and river song.. and ood!
love the ood
was that a Satan's-pit-style Amy? aiiee <:
dunno if she will leave.. maybe.. or maybe we'll get a companion who lasts for longer than two series, who knows
not an rtd fan then ahurhur?
I thought it was brilliant. Great combination of clever writing and comedy from Moffett as usual...some wonderful acting for Matt as usual, and Michael Gambon was his brilliant self.
Loved the timey wimey aspects of how the Doctor was putting memories into his mind by going back. Rather brilliant. Especially when he quickly went back to ask him for the code to the ice chamber. =D
But does this mean that there's gonna be a new sonic screwdriver now? Or will he go without one in series 6...or just get a new one? There was no sonic screwdriver shots in the trailer. Saying that, I felt that the sonic got a little overused in series 5...
Speaking of series 6...trailer...=O
- Doctor with beard in Area 51
- Green eyed Ood
- TARDIS from the Lodger
- Nazi's!
- Creepy dolls D=
- President Doctor? =D
- Lack of Daleks... Is Moffett breaking RTD's style of having to have Daleks in every series. Hopefully this is true...
Also, the markings on Amy and River aren't satan pit style. They're tally marks...
I absolutely LOVED the Christmas special! It had action, it was traditional but also really weird and contemporary at the same time! Also, the whole thing with Kazran and Abigail was actually quite moving. I really really want them to make the carol composed especially for Doctor Who, the one that Abigail sung at the end, available for download somewhere. Do you reckon they'll put it on iTunes or something?
And yeah, just watched the Season 6 trailer on Youtube because I switched over to Confidential too quickly last night and missed it. :P
Looks good! Living dolls are cool, River's back which is awesome. Aside from that I'll just wait and see!
Side note: This year's Christmas special may actually have made me a fan of Katherine Jenkins. xD

There you go. There's a little bit of children laughing in the background but no speaking... =]
Thank you so much! That's awesome! :DDD
And I can't really hear the children laughing in the background, so it won't bother me. You made it sound as if it was going to be really conspicuous!
ok the lyrics:
"When you're alone, silence is all you'll see
When you're alone, silence is all you'll breathe (?)"
...THE SILENCE!? as in, the silence that smashed up the tardis in the previous season? =D
Also, what's with the "half way out of the dark" tag. What with the Ood returning, possible satan return? =D
Personally, I thought the christmas special was fantastic. It is SUCH an improvement on all the other christmas specials.
(Also, another lyric in this Catherine Jenkins thing sounds like "Let in the shadow?")
I did wonder why the reapers never showed up when Cazran touched his younger self - remember when Ecclestone said that Rose shouldn't touch her baby self, to stop a huge space time continuum kaboom from happening? Well, why didn't THAT happen then? D=
Though I guess you could say that because the isomorphic controls didn't work for elder Cazran, he technically wasn't the same person...though that's a stretch. =/
Other than that, I loved it - ESPECIALLY the star trek mick take at the beginning, with the lens flare abuse xDDD

Well, in Father's Day, there were...2 Pairs of Doctors and Roses there, severely weakening that point in time, allowing a few Reapers in. Then Rose's dad was saved (screwing up the time line even more), and Rose touching her younger self further weakened the time line to allow a Reaper inside the church.
But still, I would've thought the Doc would feel "Better safe than sorry".
Well, Amy did touch her younger self, even though they were.. different timelines or something. So maybe we're just being phased into the idea that it's okay for past and future selves to make contact? PERHAPS.
Or... something.
Maybe the reapers were the anomaly after all.
I don't know.
...I prefer it without there being a big hoo-hah between different selves meeting, to be honest.

By which i mean, clearly I saw an ood, then some marks, and got overexcited [I completely missed seeing them on River, too]...
Nothing more exciting to see in the trailer, now that I've watched it again... er.. just general appreciation for the promised forthcoming creepiness.
Walking dolls? And a not-human thing in a suit? General.. er... atmosphere?
Okay I'm officially excited for series 6.
Also something that I forgot to say before: I was pleased to see a Christmas special which wasn't set on Earth. It was a bit piff, having some disaster happen every year at the same time each year. Even if it was lampshaded during Voyage of the Damned [which I, er, have yet to watch as it happens].
Did we see another spacesuit like the ones in Silence in the Library by and Forest of the Dead? Guess it makes sense since River's coming back again.
Now that I think about it, Area 51 would well fit in with Dr Who, what with aliens and whatnot. Do me proud Mr Moffat.
Quote- Lack of Daleks... Is Moffett breaking RTD's style of having to have Daleks in every series. Hopefully this is true...
MIND YOU, this could be the trailer for the first half of Season 6, since it's being cut into two. Would like at least one of the BIG classic monsters to show up.
Quotedunno if she will leave.. maybe.. or maybe we'll get a companion who lasts for longer than two series, who knows
not an rtd fan then ahurhur?
Just seemed like a massive hint, and now Amy has a husband, yeah.
There were some good moments in the RTD era, but there were some real iffy moments as well. Just prefer Moffat since his writing is filled with imagination and he can think up some great monsters. Havent really forgiven RTD for some of the really bad monsters he's created (Am trilled about the Ood returning and what Moffat and/or whoever writes the ep could do with em).

Nah, the suits were completely different...apart from being white. That was a proper astronaut suit. Hmm
I loved the episode so much. So clever how he was the future bit. So sad about Abigail but at least Kasran had someone to love.

It sounds too RTD. I'm guessing it just means in general rather than immediately.
If she somehow changed suit to another we might see the penultimate episode of riversong. But it's not the end, we haven't seen the start of her yet!
I had a scary thought... Imagine Genny with River as her companion. Especially if they bump into Jack and Alonzo Frame.
This is the first episode where I feel Matt Smith finally grew into the role. I have every confidence he can carry the burden on his shoulders :)
As well as New Years Day, today is also anniversary of the death of the 10th Doctor...;__;

Sorry Kayleigh I didn't realise it could be interpreted in THAT way ^^
Just had a thought.
Season 5 saw Winston Churhill and the Season 6 trailer had Nazis right? You don't suppose the 2 or more episodes will connect or be similar in someway, like Hitler using Cybermen or something? XD
Let the anticipation begin! Series 6 has been confirmed to start on the Saturday 23rd April. And good new for you American folk, as it will also be broadcast on BBC America on the same day!
Huh, seems a little later then usual, since there's usually a Dr Who ep over the Easter holiday, but oh well, maybe a little less time to wait for Season 6 part 2, haha.

Let the anticipation begin! Series 6 has been confirmed to start on the Saturday 23rd April. And good new for you American folk, as it will also be broadcast on BBC America on the same day!

This is great news.
Excitement! Trailers.
In case you haven't seen it on TV, there's a 15-second teaser here on the BBC site (http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/videos/p00fvcnt).
Even better, there's now a two-minute prequel for Episode 1: the Impossible Astronaut (http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/videos/p00fxf06).
Look behind you~

tasty!
mhmm i am very much looking forward to this series, looks like its going to be a good one with all the trailers we've seen so far (although what series hasn't been good so far?)
I can't wait for the new series, especially as there are a lot of references to the older series... can anyone say Cybermats? My only wish is that either Amy Pond gets dropped or Matt Smith moves on. They're fine individually but I don't think they work that well as a team.
i hear matt smiths been confirmed for the 7th season next year as well
=D

In that case I say kill Pond, shuttle Rory off to Torchwood.. Then give us a modern Nyssa and Adric tag team as new companions... You can even add in a Tegan Jovanka if you must.
Title for Neil Gaiman episode has been revealed (http://www.sfx.co.uk/2011/03/28/doctor-who-title-of-the-neil-gaiman-episode-revealed/).
Yes, the same episode that may just excite those who have long been a fan of the show.
[specifically I quote: "the brilliant Suranne Jones, playing someone who is beautiful, which Suranne already is, and who bites, which I do not believe she does, and who might just turn out to be an old acquaintance with a new face"]
Er. Well, I don't know :v
I'm the sort of age which means that I began watching in 2005. At this point one ought to say "and loved it so much that I watched the pre-2005 series and fell in love with it and all of the history and Five is my favourite", but the fact remains that I have only seen two "classic" serials: Earthshock and the City of Death.
Which I liked, and I plan on watching more episodes when I get time, but its not priority and so I suppose I can't quite call myself a ~fan~ no matter how much I love the new series.
Luckily I have enough Whovian-minded friends to bring me more or less up to speed on any impending allusions.
Also, it's Neil Gaiman.
And while we're blathering about the current companions: I do like Rory. I'm not sure about Amy. She unnerves/irritates me in turns. But hey, it's not like she's unbearable.
Quite fond of Eleven, though Nine is still ~my Doctor~.
My favourite Doctor has changed over the years, being nearly 30 I can remember watching repeats as a child and loved the action orientated John Pertwee... as I got a little older the pure flamboyance of Tom Baker took my breath.
Now I'm addicted to Paul McGann, the Eigth Doctor. Seriously people, if you've never listened to any of the audio adventures before, the Eight Doctor series that came out a couple of years ago is exceptional... you even notice a few phrases and nods to the current Doctor!
never got round to any of the audio adventures, though i have quite a collection of eighth doctor adventure novels which I forgot about until reading the above post somehow
huh
david tennant and georgia moffett have had a daughter
so that's the doctor and the doctor's daughter [who is actually the doctor's daughter] having a daughter who is the doctor's daughter.
i've heard some of the audio adventures with no.8, only the ones with sheridan smith. they are actually pretty good, for a few nights in the summer i remember going to sleep with them on listening intently. got me in the mood to boot up itunes actually!

I'm suprised I hadn't heard about Tennant's daughter! I have Tennant on my facebook...
Have Smith too... can't seem to block him!!! Get a haircut Smith!!
Oh and Captain, I love Sheridan Smith as an assistant... she SO needs to return in the current series!
i agree!
she was rather quiet funny from what i remember. well, i found her funny.
Who can even choose such a thing as the best Doctor of all time D:

I'm sure that everyone is sick of me posting promo stuff for series six, but I am an overexcited five year old so it's only to be expected.

Clowns, dolls, puppets, VOICES, more screaming and one-liners, usual trailer things

It does seem to be. If you compare old TARDIS set (http://images.wikia.com/tardis/images/8/89/DoctorsTARDIS-Ninth.png) with new TARDIS set (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100406132805/tardis/images/thumb/7/71/New_Control_Room.png/774px-New_Control_Room.png), the coral supports disappeared when the TARDIS regenerated.

Paul McGann. <3
He was/is a great Doctor. I'm slowly building a collection of Eighth Doctor audio adventures, myself. Man, I wish he'd gotten a TV series in the role. Owell, here's hoping for a multi-Doctor story at the next big anniversary.
As for nine/ten's TARDIS...
There's no doubt that's what it is. (http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/208908_1875579845973_1135505289_32185489_3247337_n.jpg)
I'm so psyched about finding out what it's doing back. <3
I have noticed one of the rooms we see Amy in is a hexagonal-shaped room with roundals, which is very TARDIS-y. So maybe we get to see more of the TARDIS interior? I have read there's a room that stores the "desktop themes" of the TARDIS for quick access (I imagine its full of slightly different police boxes, too). Maybe that's why we see the old TARDIS? Or maybe it's something, you know, actually exciting to real people. XD
Also...
"Fear me, I've killed hundreds of Time Lords."
"Fear me, I've killed all of them."
11th gets a backbone! Yey!
That gave me chills. >w<
SPOILER WARNING:
Apparently one of the main characters is "Marked for Death" (http://doctorwhotv.co.uk/whos-marked-for-death-17196.htm) in the first episode of the series.
(Also, note in the pictures in the link that Rory is listed as "Rory Pond")
I can't wait to see how this series plays out!
oh moffat you troll
yes.. Rory's died.. River's died.. the Doctor's died god knows how many times so..
I think it's Amy's turn now.
Or I could just not speculate and be surprised when I watch it
yes I am excited for this series I don't know if I mentioned that enough
Also hurray Rory Pond
Killing Amy seems likely. I noticed a Facebook campaign earlier that was prattling on about keeping Karen on Dr Who
i dont really have much of an opinion on amy, i think shes an orrite companion, nothing special although she is rather more 'adult' than previous new series ones.
i wouldn't really be bothered if she went tbh!
I know what you mean Cap... Donna was special, Amy is just the echo.
I honestly don't see why some people hate Amy so much. At least she's not as obnoxious as Donna. Or as loud as.. well, Donna. Or even as clingy as Rose and, to a slightly lesser extent, Martha.
She's different, yes, and a bit more independent, but considering some of the more recent companions, I don't really see that as a bad thing.
In other words; Amy>Martha>Donna/Rose
I respectfully disagree oh magnificent monkey. As far as I'm concerned the order is Donna/Jack/Mickey>Martha>Amy>Rose>Christina De Sparkly
Each to their own I suppose. It's just that, for me, Donna really got on my nerves. Then again, that's probably due to the fact that I find Catherine Tate irritating too.
Oh, and Orangutans are apes, not monkeys :tongue2:.
Ignoring all the following.. wall of text...
here's another preview clip for The Impossible Astronaut:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fz_sMJHO9VI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fz_sMJHO9VI)
Aw, Donna I think is my favourite too... I think that I'm not so fond of Amy because she's very... well, yeah, she's "feisty", but that seems to be all that there is to her. Don't get me wrong, she has her moments, and Gillan isn't a bad actress [I've never seen her in anything else so can't comment with more enthusiasm, har]... but Amy just seems.. rather one-dimensional.
I started off quite liking her.. and then I got bored of her... and the way she treats Rory just makes me think she doesn't really appreciate anything as soon as something more exciting comes along. Even once she gets her parents back [and regains her memories after her wedding of what happened], she hops into the TARDIS again and is running off. Any lessons she ever seems to learn from the journeys appear to be forgotten straight away. Maybe the crack is just absorbing her experiences, herp.
Also the ending of "Flesh and Stone" creeped me out, trololol.
Maybe I liked Donna because she had all of the bossiness and suchlike, but she obviously wasn't in control of her life: her marriage failed, she could only get work temping, and even though she resolved to improve her life after meeting the Doctor she couldn't, so devoted herself to finding him, and she grounded him and talked back to him [such as the planet of the ood episode: I remember their remark about slavery, the Doctor said something from the moral high ground and she basically told him to shut it and stop acting so high and mighty].
Also, after the last two women lusting over him that made a nice change.
Really it was mostly because she didn't fancy the Doctor.
Anyway. I'm not so fond of Amy... yet.
Martha took a while to grow on me [her purpose really did seem to be "look how much the Doctor misses Rose" and.. urg.. she found her feet in the forth series I think].. as did River, and I now really quite love River [though she does annoy me at times].
So
Series 6 has yet to begin, and that shall contain a lot more Amy, and there's still time for me to warm to her.
I do like Rory, though.. currently my favourite of the three companions for Eleven.
next saturday, 6pm BBC 1.
i'll be there, motionless for about 45 minutes.
Oh I am booked, the runt can forget trying a TV marathon of any kind.
More clips of the news series on breakfast TV today, the Doctor interrogating Amy who appears to be lying about something... though with Karen Gillans acting it's hard to tell if it's an emotion or gas. :D
Yup, I've been reading through a lot of spoilers for the new series and can't wait to see how many of them are true. Especially some of the references to the older series. Won't go into detail as spoilers would ruin it.
I quite liked Donna too BTW... might be because I have a thing for Catherine Tate though. K-9 for my favourite assitant though. Affirmative,
Elisabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane) has passed away (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-13137674).
Bloody hell. I didn't even know she was ill. It's a shock.
R.I.P Sarah Jane
Bugger... She was amazing.
i didn't either my friend just told me on msn, that was a shocker ):
At least some people have the dignity to keep their issues private, unlike the scum the milk it for every glossy magazene-sourced penny.
What a shame she died, she was a decent actress.
I was not a fan of her spin off series, but she was a huge important part of the series' history and she will be missed dearly.
I had no idea she was ill either, came out of nowhere. :(
^ Same thing.
That's made me really sad now :(
urg unfortunetly i came into dr who too late and didn't watch enough of what she did but i was a bit bummed out about this and so was anyone i told
RIP :C
Oh my goodness, I hadn't heard about this! She was a great actress & had a lot of theatre work behind her as well as her role in Doctor Who. Rest in peace, best wishes for her family left behind. :(
She was just awesome
I cant claim to be a devoted fan of hers but I'm still completely shocked by it.
I believe there'll be a little tribute to her in the episode on Saturday, though what that is I don't know.
Most likely an "In memory of" tribute before or after the credits.
That's what I was thinking. Though apprently there's to be a 15-minute tribute aired right after the episode. On CBBC.
There is still time to make amendments to the latter half of the series to make mention the Sarah-Jane should they want to make an in-series tribute to Lis Sladen... though it would have to be inifinitely tasteful.
It's a sad, untimely reminder that while the Doctor may be immortal, those that pay him and his assistants are not. As I read on the BBC news site today, she was only 63... far too early.
...are Real (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XehDKAWqSGo)
Well, dunno what to make of that. Still, creepy= win, regardless. XD
There's another one too.. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/videos/p00gj9jm)
Only one day left!
Right, click back if you havent seen The Impossible Astronaut, otherwise it be spoilt. Don't say I didnt warn ya.
Well, that was confusing as hell.
Doctor meets up companions, dies, his past self has no idea what happened, they go back in time to 1969 where a little girl who calls the President turns out to be the astronaut, who Amy shoots who just revealed she was pregnant....oh and the aliens.
Yeah, quite hard to judge all that. Here's hoping part 2 resolves some of that...
I have to say, it did manage to thoroughly tie my brain in knots. Was quite good though. Can't wait for next week.
just the right level of ridiculous timey-wimey
love the Silence
think the credits call them The Silent but it's close enough so
do love them though
hope that Amy is pregnant with a silence baby
well, she and River both felt sick after forgetting them, and Rory didn't..?
er
i mean
is it next week yet?
those videos look like the flats rose lives in
Doctor: I wear a Stetson now, Stetsons are cool.
{offscreen trickshot sends hat flying, camera pans around to the shooter}
River: Hello Sweetie.
Gods I love that woman. between that entrance and the guard at The Vault wetting himself when he saw her start to pack...
crack theory
could the young girl be River?
and she kills the Doctor the first time she meets him?
i don't know how that would work with prison?
but I like my crack theory??
and she wouldn't know that she was going to meet him again afterwards
hence the whole horror over his death and... shooting her child self in the back
because she has issues
never mind i still like it
well i like it more than "the doctor shoots himself" which was my first thought and a bit.. repetitive after The Big Bang with the doctor and his future dead self
or maybe it is River
and there's more than one astronaut and the one which doesn't contain a River kills him
i'll just.. stick with my the Silence impregnation or whatever i was wittering on about
from the look on her face it looked as though she thought she was telling him about his death
with it being "i MUST tell you now"
maybe not
Was the console room that Rory and River were in the same as in The Lodger?
Or is that just "generic spaceship console"?
i think the worst thing in her life is her giving birth
she probably gives birth to Eleven
full size and everything

Some very slight differences, but on the whole they do seem to be the same. Compare The Lodger (http://images.wikia.com/tardis/images/d/db/Inside_timeship.jpg) to The Impossible Astronaut (http://i.imgur.com/Pmr6k.jpg).
Well Matt Corden has been confirmed as returning in the same role, so...
I really liked that episode. For me, that's what Doctor Who's all about. Immensely tense plots, clever paradoxes, freaky enemies.
However, a couple of weird things...
River Song references maybe someday meeting The Doctor when he won't know who she is. This references Silence in the Library. Silence. In the library.
And then you have an astronaut wandering round all freaky? Just like in Silence in the Library?
Dunno. Just seems cool/weird.
I really liked it. CAnnot wait for next week. ^__^
Edit by Kay - tag fixing ^^
Once again Steven Moffat has given us something different, but I did feel I had to wait for the plot to start, but it was fine once it did. I loved our perspective being different from the Doctor's, all-knowing about his 'fate', it kind of reverses the idea from The Waters of Mars where we were in his head and knew everyone else's 'fate'.

The control room style reminds me of the TARDIS from the film with those pillars stretched over the control terminal like a hand. I think it may be the same style ship, if not the same, as they both respond by touching those round bumps (Dalek controls?).
I think it has to be significantly related to the one from The Lodger because it just happened that the Doctor wasn't among those going into it in The Impossible Astronaut. So River and Rory won't realise something because they haven't seen it before.
Omg what if that alien creepy thing has actualy made her pregnant and she gives birth to one of those things.
I was very dissapointed by todays new episode, partially by the terrible & predictable ending inwhich Amy shoots at the 'astronaut' inorder to protect the Doctor (it was signposted a mile off)... but also due to shoe-horning in all the characters saying "Doctor Who" by "accident". I may be wrong, but this feels like a concession to BBC America & the US audience.
Once Peter Griffin mocked films that reference their own names while aping the mentality of a 5 year old, it became dangerous to do it anyway unless cleverly deployed. Which it wasn't. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA8OOJjjvjU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA8OOJjjvjU)
I have also (somehow) started to like Matt Smith as the Doctor even less, rather than developing the role and finally working out his nuances and tones... he seems to be portraying him as a spoilt teenager that talks funny. Whereas Tennant, Eccleston and most previous Doctors manage to really make you feel the Doctors age (see School Reunion inwhich Tennant finally clicks into the role) Smith seems more at home reading the script in a stumbling tone.
ANYWAY, the reappearance of the strange Tardis-like structure is intriguing and so are the new 'grey' like aliens and their memory manipulation powers. Also, as mentioned already I LOVED the (clunky) exposition about River about travelling in opposite directions... it brought a tear to my eye when I remembered how River kinda-dies.
All in all I personally see it as a faltering but retrievable start. Good monsters and idea, but let down by the regulars. Also... isn't the Tardis' cloak part of the Chameleon Circuit as per Classic Who? Or are we ignoring this for throw-away plot purposes? ;D
The BBC really shot themselves in the foot with that one, I loved the episode but they killed the doctor in his current regeneration, and already explained if they prevent that they create a paradox, so if Matt Smith ever wants to leave the show they will have quiet a few continuity issues.

That hasn't stopped Russell T Davies and I doubt that will stop Steven Moffat either (Though I hope Steven pulls out a good explanation for it).
I can think of two ways. Either they will create a paradox, but there will be a way to rectify the paradox and save the Doctor. Or they planning to end the series for good.
Anyway, my impression: I love the new episode and as always, Matt Smith is always on form. I also love the new species, The Silence (inb4 'What's that?'). And River Song is still as sexy as always <3
Has a 7th Series and/or Xmas special for this year even been confirmed yet? 0.o
Quote from: Angelic Lapras King on April 24, 2011, 14:39

Zilch. All we know is that Matt Smith has signed on for two series (Series 5 and 6) and there has been no hint whatsoever to its future afterwards.
Considering how popular Doctor Who is, I can't honestly see them not making another Christmas Special and Series 7. Plus, I'm sure I read somewhere that Matt Smith is wanting to stay on as The Doctor until at least 2013; the 50th anniversary of the show.
On another note:
SPOILERS
Apparently Ian McNeice is returning as Winston Churchill in the finale of Series 6.
The Silence's appearance in The Lodger: Well you know Moffat was saying about how there's past references that fans have missed in previous episodes? Well if you re-watch The Lodger, the alien form of the Silence that we saw in Saturday's episode make several appearances in the TARDIS, although it is off screen...
Re-watch The Lodger, but focus on Amy's lines and Amy's actions. There are various occasions throughout the episode, where it's clear that she see's something, but then forget's about it, as was experienced in Saturday's episode with the Silence. She's constantly looking at something the other side of the camera. If you go to 13-14 mins-ish, Amy shouts 'Hey!' at something behind the camera...then again at 21-22 mins-ish, she gasps, acting shocked and looking at something off shot and then again says 'Hey! Hang on!'...but then has a bit of a moment and ignores it as if it was nothing. Clearly this is the Silence, as she just keeps forgetting about it.
Aah, that's interesting. So the console thing maybe is the same one? Or supposed to be, anyway: similar design from the same race perhaps. attempt to build a TARDIS, was it?
Doesn't the Doctor drink and spit out wine in that episode? Or attempt to. Because I want to find the most rubbish thing that appears in both episodes. But when he was drinking it in series 6 I vaguely remembered. Somehow.
I may have to rewatch the Lodger just for the sake of it. I mean, to look for connections.
Not just a comic relief episode but in fact relevant to Death and Astronauts, how thrilling
Quote from: Camzoman on April 24, 2011, 12:22
River has darker skin than the baby.
does she? I didn't see a notable difference. Though the child
was behind glass.
another fun theory is that the child is Amy's baby.
i'm curious as to what exactly the silence are to be honest or how they're going to play this one out
i mean as is everyone else
but they made the tardis explode didn't they thats kind of something
i am looking forward to what they will do with them considering the first matt smith season is essentially a set up for the Silence in the first place and i'm hoping it's not going to be the whole "EVERY RACE THAT HATES YOU EVER IS HERE just to lock you in a box kthxbye" sorta meh-moment that was in the last season
i must say i did love that episode and it was interesting take on how to kick off a series without a new doctor or a new companion, which is something we've had in every series since the reboot.
Ahh that's why they kept saying 'the silence is comming' How could i forget that!
Also The Vampires of Venice eppisode, the creatures ran away from the silence.
I say the silence got into the tardis at 'the vampires of venice' eppisode
Its David Tennant every time, although i never watched the old episodes, old TV gives me the creeps, i can't watch it!!!
As for Matt Smith.....meh.....he's funny but not nearly as awesome as Tennant
Blah blah blah, spoilers below blah.
Ahhh, there's the awesome ideas of Moffat I was looking for. XD The markings were genius, as was the fooling the Silence into their deaths, though I guess they'll be around for longer. And we have our season long mystery, the little girl.
"We have to find out who that little girl is....or let's have some adventures instead!" XD
Next week should be killer. Pirates, killer mermaid ands Amy as a pirate (To hell with people's critiziums, she wins another 20 points for dressing as a pirate :P). Lovely. :3
All I can say.
Well, the reason I fell in love with Doctor Who isn't Matt Smith (though I love him as the new Doctor), but rather that Stephen Moffat is at the helm. But that little snippet at the end with the girl makes me intrigued.
(Spoiler: I'm interested in why she is regenerating. I still believe it might have something to do with the Silence. But with the internet is going, I think a lot of people are going to assume it is lovechild of the Doctor and Amy.)
Also, I love the Silence. They are pretty much tied with the Weeping Angels for best non-traditional Doctor Who villain.
The doctors daughter dun dun duuuh

The doctors daughter dun dun duuuh
oh my god if jenny were to return it would make my day
yeah, lovechild is the theory I'm seeing. And my opinion on that is the same as River being the Doctor's wife: it would fit, but it's far too obvious
Moffat doesn't seem to like to do obvious. I mean that level of obvious anyway, where it all seems to be pointing to something over a long period of time. He likes misdirection and weird things, and I just get the feeling that he's quite proud when he manages to scare or trick people.
If those ARE what it turns out to be, I shall be disappoint.
Eh, maybe Jenny. Maybe another Time Lady? I know that in episode 4 we'll see an old friend with a new face or something.. maybe.. I forget
The positive/negative thing from the part of the TARDIS that doubles as a pregnancy test seems to imply that... the machine detects the baby and then forgets about it? Maybe...?
Anyway.
I did love this episode, as well as the last one.
Of course there are so many more questions asked than the ones answered. Typical eh
Still love the Silence. They're a definite favourite for me. Them and the Ood are my favourite alien critters. So apparently I can't get enough of bald monsters in suits. Satirical joke about somebody bald goes here.
I hope that they return.
And I'd like to see Canton again perhaps. Though judging with how the first episode kicked off I suspect that he might do?
Also, I rather adore River the more I see her.
Also also, Rory in suit and spectacles. Can't help but approve.
Mind you, Amy was asleep for a few days. Who knows what the Silence could of done to her in that time... o.o

yeah, lovechild is the theory I'm seeing. And my opinion on that is the same as River being the Doctor's wife: it would fit, but it's far too obvious
Didn't River as good as say she was the doctor's wife in the library thing?
Anyway, really enjoyed today's episode. Last of the timelords my butt. Am interested in connections between the Silence and the Timelords, what with the whole building a TARDIS thing and then

This is going to be an interesting series I think.
^not really, as far as I can remember.. she knew his name.. and he said that there was only one way she could know that
which could be a wedding or something
and basically said ~oh we had such lovely times~
and he had given her his screwdriver to save her life.. don't know when he did that, she doesn't seem to have it now.
and now we have the kiss
like i said
i'm out of ideas
but if she is his wife
i will be disappointed
also we have episode 4 called "the doctor's wife" but we don't find out who river is until episode 7 I believe..
WHO KNOWS
i just want it to be something ridiculous and unexpected that's all >:
hmmm!!!
i think she's a guardian angel of sorts sent from a higher authority to protect him for damaging pivotal moments in the universe that have to happen for some reason. buuuuuuuuut by falling in love with the doctor she broke her vow or w/e and became a time agent to continue to meet him. this time though in the wrong order andand the man she killed was...
blah blah imagination working over time!
i really loved the end to the episode though, rather shoked =D
I think the Girl is River, River is a Time Lord, And Amy is River's Mother.
bizarre speculation -
the baby is the doctors (or riversongs? or maybe the silence did something so that the baby is rorys but somehow timelord) but because i dunno if a timelord body can do pregnancy?
they implanted it into amy so she could host it instead perhaps
or maybe it's a quantum baby (and giving birth to it collapses it into a wavefunction of existing and not existing i dunno)
something or other happens with the child and everything kind of goes wrong and the offspring kind of has to be chased through time and rubbed out of existence very sad etc. etc. could be riversong as a matter of fact for all we know
and so they have lots of dramatic fights and the timeline is sealed off from the 'alpha timeline' (har, putting homestuck thought into this one)
the doctor or someone else kills the 100 years later doctor to close the time loop and make sure it comes to an end and never interferes with the real timeline? meanwhile the timeline in which this doesnt happen still continues onward and next season and 12th and 13th doctors happen usw.
thats my off-the-top-of-the-head theory anyway i'm sure it's full of holes
(i wonder if the master is returning? could be the old person with new face)

I seem to remember the companion (I forget if it was Martha or Donna then) asking if she was the doctor's wife. River asked if she really thought it could be anything so simple with the Doctor. Companion said yes. "Good Girl," was river's response
I don't remember that at all
maybe I should watch it again
[yeah, it was donna]
but if it was stated that she is his wife then what is all this hoo-hah about "who is she"?

Insinuated, never stated as such. And the doctor wasn't there. I'm sure it's something more than that of course. I presume she's got something to do with shooting him.
then I'll go back to hoping that she isn't and that it's all more misdirection
come on moffaaat
i've got a Very Disappointed Face and i'm not afraid to use it
well it might be the future 12th doctor as his/her own wife?
HONEY I'M HOME
oh it's so nice to see me

it was ok i brought me home some dinner
Quote from: The Doctor on May 01, 2011, 19:06
It's obvious the future sonic screwdriver we saw in Silence in the Library will either be coughed up by the Tardis for a new doctor or it will slowly go through cosmetic changes building up to that point (the base design looks like a variant of David Tennant's screwdriver) ...so we might see the dampers, the "red setting", the finger recognition ring with the fluid link and a concealed miniature neural relay slowly incorporated into the screwdriver over time.
I was going to say, the River Song storyline won't be in danger of finishing until that screwdriver appears. GOOD, because I love River Song, whether she's his wife or not! Oh, and he is also likely going to go through at least one regeneration first, maybe more. Do remember that she has a place in her diary with all his faces, to help her distinguish which one she's meeting, and that when she saw the 10th Doctor it was "the youngest she'd ever seen him". No matter what is revealed about her, River is going to be a recurring character for a long while, I feel.
I keep getting sad for her now, because as some of these things happen, like his 'first' kiss with her, she knows that for her, their story/relationship is drawing to an end, and that soon he won't know her at all (ie Silence in the Library).
I reckon the girl and River Song is The Rani and she's using that fobwatch thing to hide so the Doctor doesn't recognise her.
Or I wonder if the Eye-patch lady is The Rani and she captured a timelady child.
The episode he gives the screwdriver to river song is the day they get married or whatever. That will be the time when they know most eachother the most. (However river song meets the 10th doctor once more when she goes to the libary). It makes sence that they get married or something when they are at a point where they know eachother the most(kinda).
-I don't think we will see that episode yet in this series but we will see it the next time he regenerates.
-This series we find out who river is and maybe near the begining of her life.

Now THAT would make an excellent plot twist! Is anyone else looking forward to the return of the Cybermen in episode 7? I duly hope that they are finally the true Mondasian cybermen, not some lame Cybus parallel earth rip offs :P
The Tardis has to be the slowest pregnancy test ever.
But other then that, great episode. :3
Space pirates! I'm sold.
Although at the time I was a bit "what? no wait what it changed again? and suddenly it's this?", it's nice to see an episode where the Doctor doesn't know everything and is making it up and solving puzzles as he goes along.
Though if the spaceship crew were killed by a virus then why weren't they all in stasis? Or did it kill them in a shorter time than the ten seconds it took for the holographic doctor to sample and transport them?
Anyway, yes. I liked it
nice fun episode that appeals to my inner child
Do wish that they would stop killing Rory though
we had that last series
therefore heartstrings not successfully pulled
particularly as I knew he'd be in the next episode
speaking of which... I AM EXCITE.
is the woman with the eyepatch the one we saw appearing in the next episode? [time lady?]
maybe she goes through Amy's mind/memories in a future episode and that's why she's popping up now?
or maybe just ninjas
(http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkwedai3wx1qamzk8o1_500.png)
See my theory is the eyepatch lady looks like she's looking through a prison cell window. And I remember in the first episode in the last series there was a prison inside a crack in Amy's wall. And of course the creature that escaped from that prison also told the Doctor that The Silence were coming... Yeah, I'm not sure where I'm going with that either...
Anyhooo... timelord child in the previous episode? ;D Makes me think that Snagprophet was right that River Song is a closet timelord and perhaps... PERHAPS... the timelord child is her? I also had a theory that Amy's child (if it exists) might be River Song.
I like the fact that The Doctors 200 year-older version that gets killed is still Matt Smith as well...
BBC4 showed the Hand of Fear today, which I guess was another tribute to Sarah Jane.
Still, wouldnt hurt them to air classics on freeview like on BBC4. Seemed like a good idea...
What the eyepatch lady said in the pirate ep, maybe helping Amy give birth?
I liked the idea of the tardis! Was kinda scary with amy. An average eppisode imo.
Will they ever stop killing rory
Today's episode was totally trippy with the Rory and Amy running scene. Zombie Rory is totally creepy.
...am I the only one who though, "the cake is a lie" when all the "die, hate, kill Amy" came up on the wall?

i rather did love that episode as it happens and will probably end up watching it again in the next few days
neil gaiman you crazy cat
much love for ladytardis ["did you wish really hard?"]
and the whole mindscrewy "kill amy" scene
also I misheard michael sheen and thought that the ood was called Matthew instead of Nephew
whoops
Rory is the pretty one
also Rory will die constantly forever and this will be explained in the last episode that it's a cleverly disguised plot twist
only not
Bunk beds!
"the only water in the forest is the river"... did anyone else think River Song and Forest of the Dead? maybe a reference to the names of River and Ms Pond?
probably not though
upcoming thing is more likely
I just realised that 'River' and 'Pond' were water related. Does this mean we can rule out Amy having the Doctor's baby?
Sounds crazy, but what if Amy's already had the baby? As the result of the Silence doing stuff to her while she was out or Timey Wimey stuff?

Are you sure its timey wimey and not spacey wacey o3o?
Presumably the Silence have something to do with the schrodinger's baby hoo-hah
seeing as that's what one of them was telling Amy that she had to tell the Doctor about it
I think that's what it meant anyway... there was no other reason for Amy to suddenly tell him about it in the middle of a Vaguely Actiony Scene.
Maybe in the future... was it in this thread that somebody suggested that perhaps the eyepatch woman is from Amy's future, and is looking back through her memories to find something.. maybe something to do with the baby? I mean Amy's timeline with that baby is pretty tangled-up anyway, what with the photographs in the little girl's room back in episode two.
Ah, well. She's back next week, perhaps she'll say something interesting then.
Also noticing I think Detective Finney and DC Chris Skelton-- er, mark bonnar and marshall lancaster... next week. I'm just borderline excited to see some actors that I recognise that's all.
Written by one of the Life on Mars people... then again he also wrote "Fear Her"... er... still this looks like a promisingly unnerving episode
it's what i'm hoping for
OK I noticed an interesting thing... The T.A.R.DI.S called Amy, Rose and the others strays, however it was Rory she called the pretty one.

Yeah, very strange, a woman insulting any other women who are close to the man she wanted to go on an adventure with.
I more meant the fact that she refered to the companions as strays, hinting at her thinking them to be almost beneath her... then flirts with and praises the seasons butt monkey.
I thought that it was more of a throwaway line/joke, the pretty thing
She said to the doctor, "you bring home strays".. i thought that she meant all of the companions there... no indication that she didn't mean Rory as well.
No reason why he can't be a pretty stray :v
I did find the whole mentions of "sexy" and "pretty" to be more childish/fun than anything too serious from the Doctor and TARDIS
then again I can't help but think that the Doctor [well, Eleven then] will happily flirt without any thought of it being more than messing about... this is me remembering his response when River kissed him, despite the fact that they'd been flirting shamelessly in the two episodes before that.
Plus Amy's relationship with the Doctor does seem to be more.. father/daughter than anything else, what with the forehead kissing and him referring to Amy and Rory as "the kids".
The relationship between the Doctor and the TARDIS reflects the relationship between a man and his car. There's a kind of attraction between the two.
in b4 "this episode was rubbish!!!"
i liked it
particularly as this was written by the "Fear Her" guy so my expectations were a bit wobbly
not ~FANTASTIC~ but hey
it amused me
i liked the "WHOOPS, in the acid again what am I like??"
and
rory managed to stay alive
..for now
also, two of mark bonnar
It certainly had some interesting ideas, but I'll reserve judgment till after part 2...
come on DC chris skelton get gene hunt on your clone or something
seriously the marshall lancaster appearance was good enough for me even if this was an okay episode
mostly cos basically it was proverbially "trying to follow up the kid who had a real life dinosaur at show 'n' tell" that was trying to follow up the neil gaiman episode and the two silence episodes
It was ok i guess.
This series has not been great apart from the first two eppisodes
Umm, I've just realised something:

Wrong! Amy was complaining that she was pregnant before the 'Many days'... She first saw Madame Kavorian during Day of the Moon, which was obviously earlier in the episode. She also told the Doctor she was pregnant at the end of Impossible Astronaut. I get the feeling the 'many days' is in fact something different... =p
The eyepatch lady looks like river song!
Also it looks like the doctors ganger will die : 0
Currently re-watching Day of the Moon and Amy claims she wasn't pregnant after the first 10 minutes when he's just got them back from their whole counting Silence thing so something must have happened during that time.
The fact that this was not the 'major cliffhanger' we'll be getting at the end of this series' first half just makes me wonder what's in store...
I still think river song=Eye patch lady
REMEMBER this series we find out who river is, i have not seen river in the pre eppisodes of 'a good man goes to war'. Surely she would have a big part in it if she was going to reveal who she realy was. Otherwise that=anticlimax.
Either river IS the baby or river is the lady or the timelord girl.
I think she is the lady due to being very similar in looks
However it does not add up seeing as she knows his name, the doctor meets her when she is a little girl (could be trying to stop her be what she is in the future?)
But she dies in Silence in the Library
if it was River then surely they would use the same actress?
Plus we saw her in The Impossible Astronaut/Day Of The Moon, and it's normal for her to show up once or twice a series rather than more often
I'm certainly not saying it's impossible, but it doesn't seem likely to me
the baby COULD be River, but I'm inclined to think that it's too obvious... if someone can think of it then it's too obvious apparently. Maybe that's not a good stance to take as there'll be no options left, har.
I mean she did state that she met him as a young girl specifically at the start of the series, so I'm inclined to think that it becomes relevant.
WHO KNOWS i don't
thank heavens
spoilers/things which may not be true but might bouncing around the internet and being a nightmare to avoid
I hope monffat does not disapoint!
She does look older which could be why she is used as another person instead.(also keep supprises) But yeah she would be dead by then. Maybe she has found a way of restoring her life somehow. Using that shiny thing on her face. Which could lead her to being a small girl.
But this series we are supposed to know who river is. There is only one eppisode left.
(Also what does 'the only water in the forrest is the river' mean?)
Also the doctors daughter has been lingering on the net. I realy don't think the doctors daughter has anything to do with this series at all.
Gah so many questions!
Oh, the rest of the series continues after this hiatus... it's the same series, and I wouldn't be surprised if this next episode ends with River saying "Doctor, I am..." -end theme music-
or something a bit more eloquent
it's a two-parter after all, though I don't know when the second part and rest of the series is returning.. autumn sometime, I take it.
Did anyone else think the end of the last episode, the almost people, was really creepy?
The sudden change of plot?
I think I found it more interesting and "well what's going to happen next week" than creepy
but I seem to not often be creeped out
or by odd things
I like the episode name for some reason
It just appeals to me
I did/do really like the design for the monster-Jennifer-flesh thing
distorted spindly skeletal type monsters are my favourite
although totally CGI things never look like they quite fit, it's still excellent
and looking at the designs for it on Confidential as well
also
Flesh-Doctor and Flesh-Cleaves getting disintegrated by the sonic
If the TARDIS stabilises the Flesh
why didn't the two of them get inside the TARDIS and then the non-Flesh Doctor disintegrate the monster without, obviously, being disintegrated himself?
hey ho
the Doctor hinted that "your molecular memory may survive this" so seeing as they bothered to mention it, who knows?
not that it matters anyway I suppose as it just so happened to work out with one of everyone which is nice
ALSO
the end with the eyepatch lady
Did she say "One's on it's way" to Amy just before she told her to push? So will there be twins?
Pretty sure she said "Little one's on it's way" but could be wrong, again, apparently. ;P
I know The Rebel Flesh and The Almost People was a two-parter, and the next episode and September's episode is a two-parter. But does anyone else feel like actually this is all one big four-parter? Also, there's bound to be more information on the Silence, after all they blew up the Tardis, that mystery is still unsolved completely! About, the eyepatch woman and Amy being in a white room having a baby, I'm extremely confused!
Bloody hell I didn't see that ending coming.
After watching Have I Got News For You last night, I now really want a Dalek in Eastenders as the new lardlord of the Queen Vic or Pat's new husband!
"PAAAT!" XD
EDIT
This anime fanfilm's (http://youtu.be/ePtj3z8rSq4) pretty awesome. XD
Awsome episode, had some thought river would be the girl.
But at the end with the suspence I definatly felt like 10th Doctor hitting the Titanic at the end of series 3
It was a good cliff hanger because it is not one of those dun dun duuh moments for next eppisode
Okay so.. I'd be more surprised if people didn't guess it
what with the name that she gave her daughter and all
Not such a bad cliffhanger maybe because we know that River's okay..
Also
I liked that episode
well, the first half not soo much with the.. parade of different aliens
I did rather love the sontaran nurse though.. [get well soon.. so that I can DESTROY YOU IN BATTLE... can you get greetings cards with that on?]
but
yeah
went from ridiculously dramatic to ridiculously charming to ridiculously ridiculous
putting up balloons in a tardis makes a time lord, who knew
also, haaar at the next episode name
"Let's Kill Hitler!"

i bet rory was dead miffed that a sontaran stole his line
and stole his dying act as well
Anyone catch the teaser after the credits? The boney arm with the screwdriver going out? Hurry up September!!! :X
Think "Let's Kill Hitler!" kinda killed the suspense seeing the end. Ah well... XD
I THINK i have figured it out! Almost certain, dont read if pottential spoilers.
The suit is making river kill the doctor when she grows up. She can not control the suit in a way and resists by saying 'help me' or 'help me' by releasing her. However it is not long till the suit takes complete control and becomes possessed. (Not so certain about this but the following i am certain!)
The thing is, river can never be released from the suit by force,she is held hostage, if she does get removed she dies. and that is where the clone of the doctor comes in. He sacrifices himself for river, then the spaceman will let her go as the mission programmed is complete.(Leads onto the time where she coughs and regenerates) This is how the eye patch lady works, targeting his heart for his friends, thats why river says he is the best man she has ever known. That's why she is a weapon.
River tries to kill the spaceman, but this will cause some sort of paradox .
True... but I rather want her to end up killing Rory... he hasn't died/appeared to die in the last three episodes and I'm getting quite worried
also, hurray for Gatiss voice cameo.. i believe.. sounded like him.. the "danny boy" pilot.. am I just going mad? Probably
Checking on imdb... not there.
There is however a listing for one of the Silence
odd
I don't remember seeing one
/badumcssh
seriously though i don't
^That's what the Silence want you to think. :laugh:
I think River's identity was really shocking... NAAT! It was quite predictable, it was one of the most popular theories online and in our group of friends.
Well, I have to say the reveal was pretty interesting what with the people from the forest and stuff.
I kind of liked the episode, though the 'collecting debts' part of the episode simply felt like filler... did the Sontaran, Silurian and token blue man really make that much of a difference to the episode? Otherwise I definitely didn't see the 'flesh' baby coming. :D
The River Song/Melody Pond twist was one of the most common theories going, I think the Doctor breaking out some Venusian Akido would have been a much better suprise.

They didn't need to be there AT ALL. They didn't realy serve any purpose other than to die later on & therefore illicite an emotional response that could have been filled MUCH better with good acting/writing.
The point is that the Doctor drew up an army in order to get Amy back, which didn't do much that the Doctor couldn't have done himself (other than the Silurian support of course) and he's now abandoned the 'army' again within the space of an episode to do pretty much the same thing again (rescue someone from unknown forces)... but without an army.
Other than that I liked the episode. :D
River got really happy when she saw Rory at the beginning.

Good call, though River isn't a Timelord... just a mutant human. Plus a Timelord only uses their title amongst other people (except when a disguise is needed) so I don't know why she'd be known as River Song at all?
I hope Stephen Fry's Timelord 'The Minister' comes back in the second half of the season. It won't happen... but I can dream! :D
A human with timelord DNA who we think can regenerate...sounds suspiciously timelordish to me. From what I can see she has mutated into a timelord.

Sorry to bring the C-man into this, but some of those facts have been stolen from chucknorrisfacts.com.
And that nurse thing....
well obviously
I thought that was the joke: applying generic chuck norris facts to the Doctor Who plotline
does explain why he won't stay dead though. The afterlife's putting off having to meet him.
Though I'm worried he's stayed alive for so long.
Clearly when the series resumes he'll explode with retained death and kill everything within a fifty-mile radius, thus saving the day.
^ Okay,that made me laugh for a while.
maybye he has died, the silence are keeping us away from it.
OH. MY. GOD.

Had a thought. Some make out the moon landing was faked right? Just seems to me like the Doctor was instructing our Astronaut friend when we couldnt hear what they were saying. Anyone? Faked death?

Killer dolls next week, yay. :3
Twas a good eppisode. I like how river outsmarted the doctor.

They were antibodies! They're your body's little cleanup system, not bacteria :3
I presume we're gonna get a little while of River and the Doctor travelling in the same direction in time? Otherwise we never see her again as she is now, do we? But the Doctor said she'd come looking for them..
Did like the kind of self-fulfilling prophecy going on with the RiverxDoctor romance - he only really fell for her because she was so keen on him when he first met her, but it seems she only fell for him because he loved her when
she first met
him.
Did Hitler ever get out of that cupboard..? xD
And I don't think I shall be watching next week's episode.. looks far too scary for me ^^;

There's my knowledge of the human body for ya. XD Knew it was one of them words, but forgot.
There is a bit in one of the trailers with River wearing an eyepatch, so I'm sure we havent seen the last of her.
Anyone else thinking oldest question in the universe= Doctor Who?
Oh yeah and in silence in the library, river song knew his name.
Very very good episode. Absolutely loved it. Finally getting to know more and more about River her history. This is one we've been waiting for, her first meeting with the Doctor.
If she's Human (+ Timelord), how many years can she live for? Can she live for hundred's and hundred's of years, or the usual human length...or somewhere in between...
Next week looks scary...and according to Matt Smith, River features in this episode in some way...

^see, that was the bit that irked me. It felt like we've ~found it all out~ now.
I mean, I live in hope that Moffat will do some epic "omg the little girl =/= river song," but at the moment, it all looks pretty linear;
-Melody Pond is taken as a baby.
-Madame Kovarian trains her to be an assassin.
-She meets the Doctor for the first time in Nazi Germany.
-She becomes a Doctor of Archaeology.
-She has the whole ~Impossible Astronaut~ episode, then the Pandorica, then the Byzantium, then Silence in the Library.
^The end. That's River Song sorted. I mean, yeah, they'll give her more screen time and stuff with the Doctor (after all, we have River Song @ Eyepatch at some point) but...it's kind of undermined the whole thing about them travelling in opposite directions.
Tennant met River for the first time, and River knew she would never see him again. It was powerful stuff.
However, River has now met the Doctor for "her" first time (;o) and...well, Matt Smith is going to be seeing her again. So the impact is lost imo.
QuoteIf she's Human (+ Timelord), how many years can she live for? Can she live for hundred's and hundred's of years, or the usual human length...or somewhere in between...
Well she used up her ~remaining regenerations~ to save the Doctor, (which is a decent plot device to allow for Tennant not recognising her as a Time lord in Silence in the Library) so I reckon she'll just have extended life.
But yeah, I really liked the episode. I felt that Hitler was a bit of a...let down. I mean, I was ready for some really thought provoking stuff - should they change time etc. But it was...shove him in the cupboard, the end.
"Rule #1 - The Doctor lies."
Love it. Beautiful reference to Silence in the Library. I also love Nalty's idea of River's Timelady name being "The Silence." That is pretty swish.
Clare and I have a huge list of ideas that make us wonder if Moffat has shaped this season
around the plot of Silence in the Library. We're going to assemble a bunch of clips to explain our reasoning and shove it on Youtube, geek-style. =D
Looking forward to next week's episode. ^_^
well that was horrific
I liked it. Nice to get away from the River Song complex and have an episode that's just an episode by itself.
To be honest I'm sick of River Song. I realised that I don't really like her character, just her storyline, and that seems to be running itself out. I hope there are a couple of red herrings in what we've been given and that it's not as straightforward as it looks.
Anyway. This episode, yeah, was good: the dolls-house theme reminded me of The Magicians of Caprona, haaa.
Not sure about the ending, though: I was expecting it to go on for longer than it did. Also there were some very long explaining-things bits, and not enough of the actual weirdness once the Doctor was in the house... something like that. Can't quite put my finger on it.
So... yeah, it entertained me. Anything that has old ladies getting eaten by binbags and angry men getting eaten by carpets is bound to win some points.
When the Doctor first pointed out that Alex's wife had never been pregnant, I thought that he accidentally revealed to George that he was adopted and that seemed like quite a tittish thing to do :v
but apparently not
ah well
er
yeah
Thought it was good, just thought the scare factor was going to be higher....or am I getting old? 0.o
Ah well, interesting to see Doll TFs/conversions. ;)
^To be honest I, more and more, am finding the "scary" things in Doctor Who charming instead... I can't tell whether it's the writing/acting or me. Might be both.
Except for the silence. They're just adorable with their badly-ironed suits. I love them.
Watched it a second time. Liked it a lot more this time. Guess it either had something to do with my headache or the fact I was constructing a new bookcase for my room. -_-
Evil Dolls that turn you into Dolls and Hitler, cupboards sure are not getting a good reputation anymore.... XD
Narnia's just not the place it used to be...

Loved the antibodies-"Your existence will continue"
Also "I was on my way to a gay gypsy Bar Mitsfah (sp?) for the disabled when I thought, the Third Reich is a bit rubbish really, I think I'll go kill the Fuhrer!" is one of my favourite TV quotes ever.
Dolls episode was interesting. Next episode looks good too. i'm enjoying the new series.
Looks like the Cybermen are returning in a fortnight! woohoo! And by the sounds of it, it seems as if they are the mondas ones rather than the annoyingly awful parallel earth cop offs, by what Steven Moffat has said. And the presence of what seems like Cybermats:
Quote
Doctor Who – Closing Time
Saturday 24 September
6.00-6.45pm BBC ONE and BBC ONE HD
www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho
Press pack
In the last few days of his life, the Doctor pays a farewell visit to his old friend Craig, and encounters a mystery, as the time-travelling drama continues.
People are going missing, a silver rat scuttles in the shadows of a department store, and somewhere close by the Cybermen are waiting...
The Doctor is played by Matt Smith, Craig by James Corden, Amy by Karen Gillan and Rory by Arthur Darvill.
EDIT
SPOILER! Look on the Dr Who Spoilers website (search for it via Google) and you'll see that a certain alien which hasn't been seen on Dr Who since 1975 is back in episode 12!
Liked the two previous episodes as usual. Didnt comment last week due to me being somewhere else on Saturday and had to put up with iPlayer (Which with my connection, not a pleasant experience).
While I like most of the new aliens in this series, I have somewhat been hoping for at least 1 proper adventure with a classic monster (Daleks, Cybermen, etc.). Looks like next week should be up my alley. :3 Pity there'll be no Amy or Rory in seems. :/
Good eppisode today! Next week looks better
Spoilers (Should really make a River Song pic with the word spoilers, lol.)
Thought Closing Time was a decent episode, just was mostly pleased to have at least 1 classic monster as the main villain of the ep and not just a cameo. The blood stains on the Cyberman's face were a nice touch too. Like the Cybermats, all teethy and bitey. :3
I love the cyber mats!
I thought it was decently good. I would rate it maybe the best of the series but that is not too hard because this series has been kinda dissapointing.
The cybermats were adorable as sin, and I have a feeling they'll be in the shops by christmas. Or some sort of them. I don't know.
I liked this episode: it was lighthearted and silly... despite the cybermen and the whole... BLOWING THEM UP WITH LOVE... which... no, that is still very silly. Haaaa.
But yeah.
Silly even with the looming death of the Doctor, which happily looks to be more complicated than "Doctor goes to America, River shoots him, oh and by the way that's actually the Ganger Doctor or something".
I have decided not to think too much about next week, so that I won't have all sorts of ideas and then be disappointed.

Great, got something to use next week. XD
I take it that River has been brainwashed or will be made to forget that she killed the Doctor [hence why she was so surprised when she saw him be killed in her future?] due to the Silence?
Then again, when she was a little girl River was able to escape from the astronaut suit, so...
(http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls1oyeeIVk1qd5zks.gif)
Okay, the suit thing was one of the possible theories I thought could happen, but I suppose Doctor in a Doctor's suit was how it was, he did die. Ah well, satisfied mostly and time all happening at once was my right amount of timey wimey ridiculous and fun. Okay, it was not spectacular as other season finales, but I liked it.
Series overall was good despite a few faults, but I think Series 5 will always be tops for me. ;P
where is Danse Macarbe
how annoyed did the title-name insertion make him at the end of the episode
Anyone see the trailer to the Xmas Special? :3
Omg that was horrific. It was like some sort of WW1 narnia remix

Narnia was set in WW1. x_x;
I thought it was pretty good - for a christmas special. One has to expect silliness and irritations, but it appealed to my nephew (and my not-yet-grown-up sister =P).
I really liked the whole "Caretaker" thing. That was a nice touch.
Kinda wished the kid had turned out to be CS Lewis which gave him the inspiration to write the Narnia books...but hey ho, they do that rather a lot with authors; Charles Dickens, Agatha Christie; would have been a bit of a trope if they'd done it with the kid as well.
((Also I totally loved the bit where the father was dying in the plane and was all "I'm sorry my love." RIVER SONG MUCH!? EVIDENCE OF RSE REMAEK!? WUT))
We need more of Doctor Song, even if it's just a season of Torchwood.

GOD NO! give her a chance people. i dont know her, and i doubt she will be as good as amy, but then i said amy could never beat donna and donna couldnt beat rose...so, yea. give her a chance before judging
She been in that Captain America movie (No idea if that was any good), that recent Titanic TV Show that was on ITV and she even voiced in Xenoblade Chronicles already, so she has some bigish roles to her name already.
Me, all judgment is reserved for her debut. Though to me, The Girl Who Waited will be a tough act to follow...
ugh looks like he has split the series into 2 again.
still, intresting trailer
I beg to differ on one of those Garnetto... Even a sock puppet woulod be a better Companion than that cardboard cut out, author self insertion Mary Sue Tyler.
Quote from: Uncle Garnetto on March 31, 2012, 23:35
donna couldnt beat rose
Donna wins every time, it's not an opinion - it's a fact.
I'll be sad to see Arthur (Darvill and Karen (Gillan) go, they were brilliant - and series 7, the last of River Song maybe? I hope not, Alex (Kingston) is amazing as well.
I wasn't happy at all at the start of series 6 when I was told that Moffat was 'Giving the Daleks a break', I also happen to love the Daleks :D
He probably is. They only had a small cameo in Series 6, and as for series 7, it is their anniversary as well afterall, so they're probably velebrating that, then putting them back to rest.
50 years of hate, gotta celebrate that. ;P
it's kinda nice in a way to let them have a rest because RTD kinda over used them a bit in my opinion..
50th anniversary is gonna be amazing i hope!
Back next week, sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. :3
SAVE THE DALEKS
SAVE THE DALEKS
so excited words cannot even describe omg
Loved it, a near perfect modern day Dalek episode if I ever saw one.... X3
Well that was as amazing as something could possibly have been.
Spoilers abound~!
Welp, I guess Silence has fallen then! The Daleks asked the Question! This is.. puzzling.
Eh idk I felt a little underwhelmed by the episode. Intriguing thing with the girl being, y'know, the new assistant and all, wonder how that will play out. They might just do what they did with Martha and have the actress debut as a relative of the assistant (Victorian Christmas special -> great great great etc grandmother?), but it'd be a bit.. crap, if they did that again.
At the end, when the Doctor has run off, she says "Run, you clever boy.." and then she says either "I remember" or "And remember" (and looks right into the camera hahaha). Any idea which? Because if it's the former, it's quite possible this is another River thing and we've just seen the END of her timeline and she's already travelled with the Doctor, and her memories of that were locked away by the Daleks.
She did remind me an awful lot of River, actually...
So much Amy pouting. I love Rory =[ <3 I thought the whole "Amy can't have children" revelation was really rushed, it was just kind of thrown out there.. although I don't think anyone can blame Rory for thinking he loved her more. That, too, was done far quicker than I thought it should've been really.
The Doctor was such a prat to Oswin, though I guess it's just him not being able to get past his hatred of Daleks.
"Eggs.. terminate!" <3 hahaha.
Very excited for the rest of the series.. Dinosaurs on a spaceship looks utterly ridiculous, and far more like the sort of episode I was expecting as the series opener, but I'm glad we got this instead.
Found myself watching this, purely because DALEKS :D
Eggs...Ter...Min...Ate was quite cool, and funny. You do wonder how Rory didn't get blasted to bits, some really strange dodging going on there.
Also, the girl who turned out to be a Dalek...well, quite wierd. Also, erasing the memory of every Dalek was quite the funny bit. "Doctor...who?"
Well I'm going to be hiding behind a cushion this Saturday! The angels scare me silly ^^; though the main impression I got from the trailer was "Oh my god the Statue of Liberty is a Weeping Angel."
What're everyone's thoughts on the series so far? I actually really like it, the dinosaurs episode made me chuckle (though good lord, the innuendo, Filch just made me incredibly uncomfortable), and the Wild West episode was okay but I was kinda sad that the other doctor DID have an ulterior motive.. I would've preferred it if he really was just trying to turn over a new leaf.
And the black box episode was great until the end, and then it was crap. Most horribly rushed ending ever D=
Not to disobay the 3 word rule, but;
Amy...... T.T ;_______;
That was both very sad and very frustrating.
I was getting really quite leaky in the bit with Rory in the room, when we found out what that building was.. very unsettling idea D= AHHHHHH that smiling Angel, good lord that was horrifying.
It's interesting that (in my opinion, at least) Blink was by far the scariest Angels episode, but back then all they did was set you back a few years - you could then live out your life in peace. The Byzantian episodes were nowhere near as scary, probably because we actually saw the Angels move, but they were going in for snapping necks and mind control then. And then this episode definitely had the more horrifying consequences - being locked up in a room for the rest of your life, knowing that those demons were always outside (how did they survive, anyway? did the Angels cook for them? :3) - but again, it wasn't as scary as Blink. Largely because, in Blink, just blinking gave the Angels enough time to traverse a corridor or something.. in this episode, I was screaming "LOOK AT THE ANGEL" every five minutes, but seemingly now you just have to be kinda vaguely aware that there is an Angel in the same room as you and you will probably be fine.
How did Rory get sent to Winter Quay, anyway? Can baby Angels only spacially displace people or something? Those things were creepy o_o "Put him with the babies." -shudder-
Speaking of creepy children, what was with the kid in the window when the detective first went into the house?! o_o was it some kind of weird warning? He didn't seem very anxious..
The "collector" chap was bizarre - for someone with a massive fear of statues and Angels, he HAD two massive gold ANGEL STATUES behind his desk, that he had his back to at all times! Considering his claim that the Angels had taken over every statue in the city.. it just seemed a bit silly! He also seemed like a massive Dalek callback - collection fetish, keeping a massively powerful being chained up to be part of his collection, deliberately torturing it, etc.
I loved how it was implied from the very start that there was an Angel in the graveyard, though was it ever clear why they kept going back there? Unless it was something to do with Rory later seeing his own grave there, and therefore knowing his future and thus causing a fixed point in time.. dunno. Speaking of which, how did Amy going back not cause a paradox? She knew that her name wasn't meant to be on the stone.. and yet it was.
Why did River decide not to travel with the Doctor? There's probably a plot reason that I've forgotten ^^;
Time travel episodes always confuse me.
And what was with the Statue of Liberty hahahaha. I loved that no matter how ridiculous it was xD The bit where the detective got up onto the roof and you just saw its TEETH! That was awesome. How on earth it managed to get across the city without causing uproar - we heard it stopping every few seconds, so people were definitely seeing it! - is beyond me.
(all the questions aren't criticisms of the episode btw, there probably are reasons can be conjured up for any of them. For example, I wasn't sure why the Angels would actually bother keeping people in the building once they'd set up the loop for them to be there in the first place, but Kyriakou pointed out that them seeing their own death causes a fixed point, so it stops them from running off and changing it.. except Rory, of course. I'm gonna miss him ;_; <3)

thing is, didnt the one at the beginning send him back in time as well? So maybe they can do both. Unless you want to argue that they're the same thing or something idk.
The BBC have released an un-filmed extra scene from after the last episode
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWU6XL9xI4k
am i the only one who thinks that this season will be remembered in 5 years for being the season that essentially cancelled doctor who
like ive just been getting more and more disappointed ever since moffat took the helm
My inner nerd screamed yay at its loudest at that new intro! X3
And yeah, enjoyed the episode, a lot better then last year's Xmas ep. Very intriguing Season mystery, looking forward to this one. ;)
Was the Christmas Special worth the wait? Yes. Did anything disappoint me? The interior of the TARDIS.
Clara Oswin Oswald - a mystery in her own right. But so was River Song in the beginning, although in saying that, River was never turned into a Dalek... And then blown up... No, wait, hang on, I'm confused now
Going by the adverts, and the name of the Christmas special, I thought it would have been the Doctor VS the Snowmen - full on Winter war. Heads would roll, snow would be melted, Frosty's army of arm-less snowmen would get their icy asses kicked.
But no, actually, the snowmen were quite useless. The episode had less to do with the snowmen and more to do with the fact that the snow was slightly telepathic.
Back to the TARDIS, poor old girl. The exterior of our favourite Blue box had definitely seen better days, the paint peeling and faded. And I don't really like the new interior either, it's just so... Bland. I mean, yes it's lovely that they built a whole 360 degree interior for the TARDIS, but I just think it's too... Serious is the word I'm looking for.
The old console was mad looking, with bits of human stuff, alien stuff and all the weird and wacky things in between. Things clicked and turned and moved all by themselves, that's what I loved about the previous TARDIS. And the colours! They were so warm with all the oranges and yellows, even the green glow in the Time rotor (the thing in the middle of the console) was welcoming.
Madam Vastra and Jenny are married? What a nice thing to just randomly throw out at us. And Strax, my goodness, he had me laughing more than once. The things he was coming off with were brilliant.
My favourite bit of the whole episode, hands down, has to be when Clara was climbing the stairs up into the sky. And when she reaches the top, there stands the TARDIS on the clouds, like something out of a wonderful dream.
And the Doctor impersonating Sherlock Holmes was a funny moment, a bit weird and definitely unexpected, but still funny.
i don't like the new intro :c i mean, they've messed with it since david left, and sure they wanted it new because it was a new doctor, but... 11 is... the same odctor???
salso why is he so miserable i don't like it
be happy doctor you're supposed to be haaaaaapppyyyy
clara confuses me i mean what
moffat what are you--
okay, so she was a dalek who had never been to space before and died????
then she was a victorian lass who died???
are
are we going to get another rory
essentially she dies every episode or something dumb like that?
also doctor don't wear those glasses you look daft
and use your catchphrase more. bowties are cool! :C
i mean i'm glad amy is gone - didn't like her - but i loved rory and i just-- now they're gone the doctor's depressed? iirc i don't think 10 was ~~supremely miserable~~ when rose left. I mean he got up and brushed himself off and had more adventures? tbf i think he was more sad when he lost donna because she wouldn't remember him i just
help i am confused
MOFFAT /shakefist
so sickbeard tells me the new dr who is coming the 30th of march
who else is going to watch moffat as he crams a great british institution further down the toilet with the end of a plunger this season :')
i preferred it when we didn't have river song crooning about the doctor while head writer still hadn't got over his divorce from years ago and instead we had the donna series finale
like RTD's series finales were like when the power rangers had to drag out the ultrazord
moffats have been like a bad christmas present from a well-meaning grandparent and you can't wait to put it on ebay or sell it to your craft club
i think it could be dramatically improved if they put matt smiths head all massive like in the old dr who intros and matt smith suddenly went all second doctor and was an insatiable grump
who wants to give torchwood a call and see what they're up to cos i tell you i'd rather watch more of that
Then....don't watch it if you're not enjoying it? :o
thank you for your helpful advice i'm going to stop watching a show i've liked for years
Didnt sound like you were enjoying it in the previous post. :/
Well I really enjoyed that! The middle of the episode was a bit dull, but the beginning and end were good.
That's twice Clara has obtained mad computer skills by accident..
jammy dodgers <3
and when that face appeared on the screen near the end, my little heart did a flip. Really liked the reactions of the office workers at the end, too.
Describing plot while avoiding spoilers is fiddly..
Also still delighted to see the new credits again. And Matt Smith being adorable and slightly creepy / not understanding social conventions as usual <3
david's coming back for the 50th anniversary special with billie
/screaming
Fun little opener, looks like my 7 next Saturdays are gonna be that way. :)
Never mind the face, the "little girl" thing after that really took me by surprise. Bravo. XD
I really liked that. Moffat appears to be going away from the fairytale-esque route and going down the RTD-esque road. The next episode looks fantastic as well, gotta love some aliens!
i thought this episode was actually really well done!
new doctor revealed... peter capaldi?????
oh my god i mentioned that several times as a joke (well, actually i love the idea that malcolm tucker should be the doctor) but.... oh my bloody god.
so glad though fdsajgkfdhgdjakhgfa its what i would have wanted but i thought it would never happen so im still adjusting holsyafjgdhsgjkdsb.
I was secretly hoping for Danny Dyer, but Peter Capaldi is amazing.
Holy moly the 50th anniversary special is THIS saturday? time seems to have flown and now i'm super hyped up for it again.
Ay, I wondered when someone was gonna post about 50th.
I'm going to see it in the cinema with four friends of mine ^.^

Because 14th onwards probably knew it turned out all okay in the end and didnt need to be there....
....or they were all busy fighting the big threat in the 100th Anniversary special? XD
12 regeneration limit...
Which never stopped the Master reappearing after he ran out. ;P
I just don't know how they're gonna get round it :/
river gave the doctor her regenerations. unsure which episode it was.
also if you think about tennant's last episode the master got sucked into gallifrey so obvs he's gonna come back.
Day of the Doctor was soo good~
Those of us who watched The Thick Of It are only excited about the new series starting because we can get clips of Doctor Who and put Malcolm Tucker over the top.

he was only around for around 3 years :/
