The "New" Doctor Who

[chamber-music]

£5 jenny either comes back for the finale, or gets her own series
She could have her own reject spin off. Her companions could be Captain John and Martha.

thought that too. probably end up in torchwood or sarah jane.

She doesn't seem a dark enough character for Torchwood. I wouldn't mind if she was in it though as she has military knowledge which Torchwood could use although I don't want to see Jenny become a alien shagging annoying idot like the rest of Torchwood.

[Darkfly]

she'd be awesome in Torchwood, at least she's willing to use herself to get out of sticky situations & Jenny has a kinda of kinkiness & ever so slight rebel girl thing image going on, all things which might come in handy at Torchwood.

[DarkSuperman]

I really enjoyed the last episode, I thought the Doctors daughter was a very cool character. She was fun, interesting, capable, and hot. Had she stayed on with the Doctor it would have been cool to see Tennant and her play with that whole father/daughter dynamic. I really hope that she comes back later on in the series. I absolutely loved her back flipping through the laser field!

And how could you not love Martha Jones? She's a babe! I thought she pulled off that crying scene when the fish dude sacrificed himself for her quite nicely. I didn't understand why he couldn't just breath underwater or whatever with that face mask thingy, but I digress...

Donna has grown on me by leaps and bounds I enjoy watching her butt heads with the Doctor. She's not afraid to call him on his stubbornness.

[LexCorp]

I am a little behind but the Sontarans were cool.....

Ha potatoes...

I feel pretty much the same minus that scene where Martha cried, everything about it was wrong & it was so out of place just a 2min gap to fill since they run out of things for Martha's side of the story I guess, the tar or whatever it was looked like water & they didn't even really act like they were struggling very well, looked more like they were walking slowly, and then it was like Freema was forced to cry (well I suppose she was) I think most would call it poor direction, and it was truly some of worst crying I've ever seen in a show/film in my opinion. I mean if its supposed to be a touching moment or a bit of drama why did my whole family start laughing, of which my brother (15), 22 (my sister's very serious normally), Dad, & Mum.

And yeah it would be awesome to see Jenny as a companion for the rest of the series, cause like you said she a very cool character & had a great father/daughter dynamic which could of been really interesting.

[Manic]

This episode was filled with bad direction. Jenny waking up and jetting off into space comes to mind. The scene where Martha cried was one of them, but it certainly wasn't helped by Freema's inability to convincingly display strong emotions. In Freema's defense, she did the "verge of crying" scenes in the Human Nature 2-parter pretty well.

Come to think of it, that was probably the first time Martha has cried when someone died protecting her. Remember in Last of the Time Lords, where the Master killed Tom Milligan?

that is the guy she's marrying too. Maybe the hath was actually her soulmate

Are you kidding Pek was way out of her league, he was hotter smarter and had much more charisma.:o

[regwec]

And how could you not love Martha Jones? She's a babe!
Correct. I will fight a duel against the next fellow that denies this!

[Captain_BluTac]

Correct. I will fight a duel against the next fellow that denies this!

She's not a babe, she looks like a foot.:o

[regwec]

No, she looks nothing like that horse from Sex and the City.

Incorrect use of a Family Guy reference is a serious offence.

[Captain_BluTac]

That reference was completely applicable!

[DarkSuperman]

Yeah! I really hope they run into each other later on in the series or in the future. Right now I'm kinda waiting for the "seemingly Random happenings that culminate in a huge cohesive finale" episodes. Maybe she'll come back at the end of the series to help fight some huge catastrophe?

Evidence to support this comes from wikipedia...

Doctor Who's format of stand-alone episodes allows a greater flexibility in story telling. Like the previous three series, all of the episodes are bound together in a loose story arc. Unlike the previous three series, where the arc was in the form of an "arc word" such as "Bad Wolf", "Torchwood", or "Mr Saxon", the arc for the fourth series is cumulative: Doctor Who Magazine' 394's preview of "Partners in Crime" described the arc as "an element from every episode–whether it's a person, a phrase, a question, a planet, or a mystery –builds up to the grand finale". Executive producer Russell T Davies stated in the same feature that the series finale had been planned for four years previous to its airdate.

[IronLion]

have you noticed that in almost all eps, the dr is being portayed as a god like person, most noticeable in the fires of pompeii (house god) to this ep where he tells them (and please correct me if im wrong) that he wants them to build the world as he would

[Gold Samurai]

10 bucks says Jenny will be back and have her own spin-off series >_>

[Darkfly]

I can dream :D

[TheCorpulent1]

Just saw the last episode. It started out quite good, but then it just got stupid. And that ending with Jenny... ew. What a horrendous, fanwanky, "zomg teh Doctor's got a daughter and she's JUST LIKE HIM LAWL!!!" moment. I hate this retarded artificial limit on companions where, if they introduce someone who's genuinely fun and would make a fantastic foil for the Doctor, they kill them off or incapacitate them somehow because the Doctor can only ever have one long-term companion 'cause we so and that's that. Stupid. :o

Oh, yeah, and of course we've got our obligatory historical figure episode next week. 'Cause those are always great. :dry:

Actually according to all reliable sources, I.E Radio Times, it is by far the best episode of the series so far.:o

and I like the historical figure episodes, the story's can be a bit dodgy, but the characters make up for it.:o

P.S I love Agatha Christie such a twisted mind for a well bred young woman, although I'm sure we will get the usual *****iness this week because there's a gay couple, even though that's supposed to be a tribute to a MM story.:o

P.P.S Agatha Christie = The worlds awesomest lesbian.

[TheCorpulent1]

No source is more reliable than my brain. :o

The historical figure episodes are always tacky to me. They never even attempt any sort of historical accuracy; these are stories of historical figures filtered through the lens of time, which is fine because it's unavoidable in the present, but it doesn't work for me when the concept of the episode is that the Doctor and (insert random companion here) are supposed to be standing there with that figure in that figure's native time. I can't suspend disbelief that way for some reason.

[Lord Valumart]

personally i was always a fan of the historical eps in the classic series more than the others and so far the only good historical has been fires of pompeii...which was just freakin awesome...

[TheCorpulent1]

I did like "Fires of Pompeii." But I think that's more because it's a historical situation, not an actual person.

This one is supposed to be set on the first day of her 11 day disappearance in 1926 and anyway it can't be all bad it has Fenella Woolgar (wo was awesome in Jekyll btw) in it and Felicity Kendall the only downer is Meera from Little Britain being in it.:o

yeh...where they've been going wrong is adding in historical figures and what not...it's just better when you have a historical just set at the time and then have something dr whoish happen there...like ghost light or i wanna say black orchid but it's just horrible so:huh:

I would really love to see the doctor go back to when the black death was about, no grandeur no historical figures just people painfully dying everywhere and seeing how he'd cope.:o

[TheCorpulent1]

Those make for great episodes for me. It's just too jarring for me to see a modern interpretation of a historical figure walking and trying to talk like they're the actual historical figure.

[Lord Valumart]

he did...the visitation....he started the fire of london in that also...

[Captain_BluTac]

he did...the visitation....he started the fire of london in that also...

Which Doctor? and I want them to revisit the black death, with Martha and the Doctor it could be interesting, her feeling she has to help people (being a doctor) and The Doctor not wanting to change history so trying to stop her.:o

[TheCorpulent1]

The Doctor's responsible for a lot of historical disasters, isn't he?

Agatha Christie was married twice and had a kid. :huh:

Do you mean Miss Marple? She was just presented as a spinster with no interest in romance, but I'm sure RTD will make the tired claim that she was supposed to be a lesbian in this episode.

However, Hercule Poirot = cake boy.

I watched this documentary about her last year and people have concluded that she was gay for various reasons and they said it also explained her love of gay characters.:o

[chamber-music]

I like this game of debating which dead people where gay. It would make a great board game!

I'd like him to go back and witness a time like that, but minus the aliens/monsters for once. It'd be interesting to see him not cope with the usual threat.

[the_ultimate_evil]

i don't mind historical figures, but i think they're stretching with this upcoming ep, why not in 10 or 20 years(real time) have him meet steven king or jk rowling

[union_jak]

He'll probably meet a young Stephen Hawking at some point, and 'inspire' him with knowledge.

[Captain_BluTac]

They can't till he dies according to RTD, he said if he was to visit anyone from modern history they would have to of been dead for 10 years +.

That is an excellent avatar.

[04nbod]

he did...the visitation....he started the fire of london in that also...

the fire killed the big black death event in history

of course the black death as a disease didn't go away

[regwec]

The Great Fire of 1666 wiped out an outbreak of Bubonic plague in London, and prevented its return by clearing the tightly knit medieval streets that aided the spread of the disease, allowing for Christopher Wrenn's redesign.

The major Black Death was the outbreak that killed around 30% of England's population in the 14th century.

You're right that the Plague still exists- it is a highly coveted biological weapon, cultevated in secret all over the place.

[TheCorpulent1]

Whoa, what? :huh:

[04nbod]

Whoa, what? :huh:

he's being pedantic:oldrazz:

[TheCorpulent1]

No, I meant about the plague still being a sought-after biological weapon.

[regwec]

No lie.

[TheCorpulent1]

Freaky. So there was never a cure found for it?

[regwec]

It can be treated easily with antibiotics, but a lot of countries don't have easy access to the relevant medicines. It's also a disease with a considerable psychological impact. Imagine the headline "Terrorists bring Black Death Plague to New York". Hurm.

[Captain_BluTac]

Freaky. So there was never a cure found for it?

He's either insane or being sarcastic.:o

[The Squirrel]

Actually I think it's true. I don't think there ever was a 'cure' found, and I know it still exists today. Just not as wide spread.

[04nbod]

There is a vaccine, but it was taken off the market a few years ago as it had terrible side effects so they decided intravenous antibiotics would be much more helpful to the patient.:o

[BlackLantern]

Just wanted to pop in and say I like the new variation on the opening theme....I know some you, probably LV, that are mad they aren't still using a kalediscope for the open...

[TheCorpulent1]

I like the new theme music a lot. It flows better than the previous music, and it gives the show a grander feel.

[regwec]

The theme music is fine, but the over use of orchesteral crescendo at vaguely climatic moments of each episode is really jarring, like a kind of heroic laugh track.

[SpideyLad]

I prefered the version from Series 1-3...

Also, that episode wasn't really that bad..Certainly better than last weeks.

I completely forgot about Doctor Who today cause I was completely encapsulated in Crysis all day, mind boggling good game, then I had to get tea & realized it was 7pm. Does anybody know when its repeated on BBC3.

The show needed a little boost and that was it.

[Lord Valumart]

you know...i saw the episode and it's not that i didn;t like it...more that i was indifferent to it in every possible way:huh:

Great episode- lots of fun. The only problems with it that I could identify were some strange issues with colour saturation and the resonance of dialogue over music. The music has been a constant niggling problem throughout this series, and I hope it is rectified.

Oh, and "The Unicorn" was the finest female yet to feature in a Doctor Who episode. I demand that she return as a beautiful and useful assistant.

I doubt she will, she doesn't get much time off, cus she's in a soap, but it's possible they did give her time off to play Zoey in Cape Wrath also she was better as Ethel Hallow in The Worst Witch!:cmad:

[TheCorpulent1]

Sally Sparrow was really cute, too. And Martha only lasted one season. I think RTD has something against really hot companions.

[union_jak]

If it were up to RTD the Doctor would have really hot male companions and all the girls would have a fate like Kylie.

[regwec]

I dunno. Pretty young ladies help the broad appeal of the programme, and Donna is the only companion so far that hasn't really fitted the bill. I would love The Unicorn as a companion, though, not only because she was yummy, but because her personality would have clashed nicely with The Doctors, and her thieving skills could have proved a handy plot device.

[Lord Valumart]

if the origonal show hadn't been cancelled McCoy was gonna have a smart upper class ledy theif as a companion...that would have been way better than having the unicorn with tennant...

[regwec]

And you know that how? Why is a completely unknown quantity definately superior to something we have glimpsed?

[Lord Valumart]

i know that it would have been more interesting due to the dr mccoy was becoming when compared to the dr tennant has become. fair enough the unicorn was barely in the episode and had little to no actual character and could have been fleshed out in possibly fantastic ways, and the 4th series of mccoy is pretty much lost in novels with ace...but in the end it comes down the the dr...

[Bastila]

If it were up to RTD the Doctor would have really hot male companions and all the girls would have a fate like Kylie.

lol thats why we have Jack lol.


I liked last nights episode wasn't that bad, Donna made me laugh when she kept saying things she shouldn't have.

And the part at the end when they are getting to who the killer is, Donna's watching it like its a film lol.

[Captain_BluTac]

[The Squirrel]

It was a good episode, but I enjoyed last weeks more.

[Manic]

I was with the episode right up until the vicar turned into the wasp. Not because I didn't like the revelation, but because of the way it was portrayed. Was it really necessary for the actor to make buzzing noises? Wasps don't actually make buzzing sounds with their mouths or anything; the flapping of their wings creates the buzzing noise. If we had simply heard a wasp's buzzing noise as we saw him transform (without making "funny" faces, mind you), this episode would've retained the slightest bit of eeriness toward its ending.

I did love that they bothered to make a parlor scene. It's my favorite murder mystery cliche.

In a way, it did seem pretty obvious that the vicar was the wasp. I didn't make the illegitimate son connection, but it did strike me as pretty odd that he was the only character who we didn't know was hiding anything. When the Doctor and Agatha were interviewing everyone, we (the audience) saw their lies, but we didn't see the vicar's. The classic "most innocently protrayed character" trick.

Between last Saturday's episode pointing out all the running so much and this episode showing it again, I think I'm going to see if I can find any RTD episodes where the Doctor and/or his companion doesn't run from something.

By the way, I like it when someone points out how unreasonably happy the Doctor gets when he's in danger.

[04nbod]

STEVEN MOFFAT IS NOW THE OFFICIAL SHOWRUNNER!

he will begin in 2009 for he 2010 series - http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/s4/news/latest/080520_news_01

and the new comic cover for Doctor Who: The Forgotten is amazing- http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0805/19/doctorwho1.htm

Its due in august

[Lord Valumart]

meh...atleast rtd gone..

and i posted that cover ages ago when it was first shown...it was my msn pic for months...

[union_jak]

So RTD is gone then? Hopefully his insistant clichés will go too.

[regwec]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7411177.stm

I think Moffat is likely to take the show in a more legitimately sci-fi direction, but that he might not give it the same mass appeal. Could somebody recap which episodes he has directed?

By the way, Mark Gatiss for the 11th Doctor!

[TheCorpulent1]

Yay, Moffat wrote "Blink"! Maybe Sally Sparrow will come back. I hope. Please?

[chamber-music]

sweet glad Moffat is taking over as long as he keeps James Nesbitt as far away from Doctor Who as possible I'm Happy.

Is RTD still in charge of Torchwood?

[regwec]

Nebitt would be pretty good as a regenerated Master,

[chamber-music]

Nebitt would be pretty good as a regenerated Master,

The only thing Nesbitt is good at is torturing his niece in Yellow Pages adverts.

This myth that James Nesbitt is a talented actor created by ITV and the BBC has got to end. It was funny at first but now its getting out of hand.

[regwec]

Interesting point. I don't really think he is a great character actor, but I do find that his shady looks and seedy persona suit certain roles anyway.

I don't think Moffat has directed. He's written 'The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances', 'The Girl In The Fireplace', 'Blink', and the series 4 two parter 'Silence In The Library/The Forest Of The Dead'.

And, as much as Gattis as the 11th Doctor would be good, I can't see it happening. He was Professor Lazarus in Series 3, although Doctor Who does have a history of re-using people...

And, as much as Gattis as the 11th Doctor would be good, I can't see it happening. He was Professor Lazarus in Series 3, although Doctor Who does have a history of re-using people...
The first four are some of my favorite episodes from the new series. :)

[04nbod]

meh...atleast rtd gone..

and i posted that cover ages ago when it was first shown...it was my msn pic for months...

well i haven't been on msn for months. I tried to reinstall it on my new laptop but it didn't let me. I'll try again tomorrow. I want to test out my new webcam:wow:

[regwec]

hey there is nothing wrong with the northern irish accent:cmad:

many find it cool and sexy:woot:
Maybe, but it doesn't work for everything. Union_Jak is right that every character James Nesbitt has played has been a version of James Nesbitt.

David Tennanr deserves a great deal of credit for developing a Doctor Who voice that isn't his own.

[Captain_BluTac]

And the new cover for Doctor Who: The Forgotten is amazing- http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0805/19/doctorwho1.htm

Its due in august

That's now my Comp wallpaper.:o

Well, every character Sean Connery has played has been a version of Sean Connery, and look where that got him. ;)

[regwec]

I'll never deny that you can make a very successful career from playing yourself. Sean Connery actually broke out of his own persona to play a brutal policeman in "The Offence"; Michael Caine, Jack Nicholson, Bill Murray, Clint Eastwood, Christopher Lee and dozens of others have made fortunes from being perdictable, however.

[livrule]

This is nothing but good news ...

The show is still strong but has fallen into a pattern that could become stale over time.

Hope Tennant stays for at least another year or two but when he does go his replacement will need the same mass appeal he has ... the show will depend on it. Someone like Gattis would be a crazy choice.

[chamber-music]

I haven't seen any of those. He kind of scares me, to be honest.

His only a good actor when his doing a Brooklyn accent e.g Bugsy Malone and Band Of Brothers.

His had roles in every Guy Ritchie/Mathew Vaughn flick as his friends with them and small roles in alot of movies no ones seen like Doom, Below, Topsey-Turvy, The Man Who Knew To Little and Tristian + Isolde

I wouldn't mind Rufus Sewell as The Doctor. He looks slightly crazy

[chamber-music]

What about Hotel Babylon and why is no one as disgusted with this idea as me?

I try to aviod prime time BBC 1 as much as possible. It makes me wonder why the hell we pay for a licence fee.

[TheCorpulent1]

Nope. I suspect I'm not disgusted with it because I haven't seen anything he's been in. If you're talking about his looks, well, frankly, I wouldn't mind a kind of skeevy-looking Doctor after Eccleston's slick, sophisticated Doctor and Tennant's goofy, cheerful Doctor.

[Captain_BluTac]

[JustABill]

Are the comics even official to the show at all?

Also I'd be a-okay with Sally Sparrow being the next full time companion. :up:

[TheCorpulent1]

I hope Moffat does it. God, I'd love to see Sally Sparrow as a companion. Self-sufficient, intelligent, hot, and not annoying... she's almost too good to be true.

[Lord Valumart]

sadly, yes and they really are horrible in everyway...

but the forgotten arc looks good even if it sounds meh...

Dexter Fletcher? No more license fee, BBC.

A whole planet of acting talent ..... surely he would be about No.987 on the New Doc list!!

[union_jak]

Why do the tv people feel they owe Dexter Fletcher a career? An 80s child star, now he's back and won't go away.

[regwec]

He's actually okay as a supporting character in Hotel Babylon, but as Doctor Who? Ridiculous, particularly given that he follows two legitimately talented actors in Eccleston and Tennant.

[TheCorpulent1]

You know, based on what I'd read of him, I thought Tennant was actually just a Doctor Who fanboy who got lucky. I had no idea how prestigious a career he had before Doctor Who.

http://community.livejournal.com/doctorwho/3000522.html?view=48135882#t48135882

Is this like that Ten Doctors fan comic that one guy is doing?

[psychocheeseman]

STEVEN MOFFAT IS NOW THE OFFICIAL SHOWRUNNER!

Awesome News, Moffat is a true fan with an awesome sense of humour, I'm probably bias cause he did such a good job on "coupling".
Also hope Mark Gatisse has more to do with the show in the future, not only cause i was a "league of gentleman" fan, but also cause he wrote some of my favourite Doctor who Novels. Don't think he could really pull off the whole doctor thing, especially as he's already been a character in an episode.... (although Colin Baker was before he became the doctor so...)

I think Dexter Fletcher is kinda cool, but i can't imagine a Doctor being all "Guns for Show, Knives for a pro!" Which is pretty much what i think every time i see Dexter so... .

Oh, and "The Unicorn" was the finest female yet to feature in a Doctor Who episode. I demand that she return as a beautiful and useful assistant. She was hot! Would make an awesome assistant to contrast the doctors goodliness.

Both her and Jenny (Georgia Moffet) are both very much needed to return to make the show more appealing to us red blooded hetrosexual male fans. Only just found out she was Peter Davidsons daughter.. Can anyone think of a better way to marry into a doctor who family?

[Manic]

After watching "The Unicorn and the Wasp" again (I like watching/reading mystery stories twice to look for all the clues), it hit me that they told us that the vicar was the guilty party at the very beginning of the episode. I mean, like, before the intro even started. We saw the professor drive up in his jalopy, immediately followed by the vicar on his bike. The butler told them that drinks were about to be served. The professor said he was going to the library to do some research. The only people who heard him say that were the butler, the maid, and the vicar. No one else even knew the professor was there yet.

[chamber-music]

Why do the tv people feel they owe Dexter Fletcher a career? An 80s child star, now he's back and won't go away.

He will always be babyface from Bugsy Malone to me :o

They may as well get Carl Weathers to be The Doctor!
He was in that other BBC show :whatever:

[TheCorpulent1]

Carl Weathers as the Doctor would be awesome.

[SpideyLad]

Is this like that Ten Doctors fan comic that one guy is doing?

Nah, it's from the IDM Doctor Who comic that's out in America.

[TheCorpulent1]

Damn you....:csad:

[The Englishman]

Great episode- lots of fun. The only problems with it that I could identify were some strange issues with colour saturation and the resonance of dialogue over music. The music has been a constant niggling problem throughout this series, and I hope it is rectified.

Oh, and "The Unicorn" was the finest female yet to feature in a Doctor Who episode. I demand that she return as a beautiful and useful assistant.
I agree, Moffats first job needs to be making The Unicorn, Jenny and Sally Sparrow asistants...:cwink: Excellent :up:

He was in Bones and he used to meet up with Lurie for lunch.
Atleast get Emma Thompson on there shes hilarious.

The unicorn and the wasp was alright though, not great however. The writing is just so lacklustre and frankly bad, opting for the worst possible plot turns and lingering on the wrong moments.

Hopefully with the 'rubbish man' now going, it should pick up a bit!

I'd say this batch of episodes has the advantage of not having a crappy Dalek 2-parter in it. Plus I'm enjoying the way Tennant and Tate comedically play off of each other better than Tennant and Agyeman.

Yes im actually enjoying this first half of the series better then last series first half. After Eurovision last year thats when the series really picked up, hope this season stays at the same standard or better.....

[TheCorpulent1]

Donna is definitely a funnier companion than either Martha or Rose. I've been enjoying her much more than I thought I would have. It's nice to not have the obligatory young vixen, too; makes the Doctor seem a little bit less like a creepy abducter of comely young women.

[TheCorpulent1]

Hmm, interesting stuff. Commando Rose is kind of silly at first glance, but I guess it makes sense in the context.

[Captain_BluTac]

If the stars are going out, does that mean they are being destroyed?

It means they were destroyed thousands of years ago, which would lead us to believe they are being destroyed by someone with timetravel technology, take into account that the doctor burnt out a star to communicate with Rose in S2E13 and I'm still not sure what's going on.

She's probably still got a hint of Huon energy in her. The light put into Donna by Lance was the exact same light Time Lords give off when they regenerate, and the same light Rose had when she absorbed the time vortex.

My little theory is that Davros is intending to convert Earth into Skaro II with a new breed of Dalek (like in the Dalek 2 parter from last year) using Harriet Jones as his in (an ex PM will still have some sway) and as such Harriet Jones will inadvertently lead to humanity's doom when all she ever wanted was to keep humans safe, she will end up being converted into this hybrid thing (notable for being the first woman Dalek) Rose will of somehow get wind of this and use a TARDIS (or something similar) and burn up hundreds of stars to use as an energy source and break down the barriers between the two dimensions and then some other stuff happens... LOL

Also screen caps for Davros, the red Dalek and glowing Donna.

I never said she was regenerating, I just said it appeared she was giving off a similar light, and also if it is supposed to be lights being shone on her, dear god the SFX are getting ****e why is it the light is only on her face and hands, and her face is extremely bright ect

I always figured that the reason Romana was able to pick her next regeneration was because she had plenty of time to regenerate and was able to do it at her own pace. The Doctor, on the other hand, has always regenerated in moments where if he didn't do it quick he would have died, so he didn't have time to tailor it to his liking.

I always figured that the reason Romana was able to pick her next regeneration was because she had plenty of time to regenerate and was able to do it at her own pace. The Doctor, on the other hand, has always regenerated in moments where if he didn't do it quick he would have died, so he didn't have time to tailor it to his liking.

this is logical also...i beleive a mixture of both allows us the best answer

Jenny and Sally Sparrow for season 5 companions. :up:

[04nbod]

The Daily Star reported it, and I doubt that it's true...

that may come back to haunt you...

[SpideyLad]

that may come back to haunt you...

It can and probably will......I really hope it doesn't.......

[Golgo-13]

Martha's not coming back. :csad:

[Manic]

OMG best band ever!
I believe in a thing called love

[SpideyLad]

Martha's not coming back. :csad:

She's back for the finale

[TheCorpulent1]

Is Jack coming back for this season at all?

He's in the finale....Pretty much everybody is.

[TheCorpulent1]

Ah, so the finale's basically a companion bonanza? A companionanza, if you will?

So far, we know of (I'll put this in spoilers, just in case)
Rose
Jackie
Mickey
We'd better have Pete...:cmad:
Martha
It's rumoured the rest of the Jones's will be there
Jack
Ianto and Gwen are rumoured
Sarah Jane Smith, and maybes K9
And, Jenny is rumoured as well.

[TheCorpulent1]

Damn, that really is a companionanza. :wow:

[SpideyLad]

Damn, that really is a companionanza. :wow:

Tennant did say in an interview that "The TARDIS is gonna be pretty full!"

Wonder if we'll get anymore joining them....

[TheCorpulent1]

I hope Jenny sticks around. If there's only four specials over the next year, it wouldn't be a huge commitment.

That wouldn't be bad...

It'd work really well if you consider the string of companions so far from a relationship perspective. First we had Rose, whom the Doctor liked but couldn't admit that he liked (blurg); then we had Martha, who liked the Doctor but the Doctor didn't like her; now we've got Donna, who doesn't like the Doctor and whom the Doctor doesn't like, but whom everyone assumes the Doctor is coupled with. With Jenny, we could move away from the romantic relationship angle and examine the Doctor as a hesitant father, which could be very interesting.

I agree the girls and guys (Captain Jack) lusting after the Doctor is getting pretty old.

No K9 they released a statement thingy saying K9 would not be appearing in any of the Doctor Who canon until his spin off series is over.
