The "New" Doctor Who

[The Englishman]

So is anyone looking forward to the new Doctor Who series in march cos i can't wait.
Whats eveyone looking forward to seeing and what does eveyone hope they will see in this new series?

:up: :batman:

[Flame on!]

I'm looking foward to it, but I'm a little dissapointed in Ecclestons attire. Not eccentric enough for me. Although the movie was a bit rubbish, McGanns outfit would've been cool to use.

[The Englishman]

Yeah Ecclestons clothing is a bit "ordinary" fron the preview pictures that i've seen.
1 thing that i would like to see is Paul McGann regenerate into Chris Eccleston.

:up:

[Flame on!]

That's yet to be confirmed. I'm beginning to think that we won't see that....well, not in the first episdode anyway....unless it's the worlds best kept secret.

[Superhobo]

What's all this then about a new Who ?

Is it the same concept as the old show, with updated same characters...
or is it whole new characters and such?

[The Englishman]

Theres going to be 13x45 minute eppisodes in march but alot of it is still under wraps.... But The Doctor as a new assistent called Rose Tyler and Christopher Eccleston takes over from Paul McGann who was the Doctor in that dreadful TV Movie from a few years back.......oh and The Daleks are back, but these beasts have Rocket boosters so they can go up stairs now.:up:

[The Englishman]

Here's a new picture.........

oh and The Daleks are back, but these beasts have Rocket boosters so they can go up stairs now.:up:

HA! :up:

As a kid I couldn't help but laugh because nothing so slow could really feel like a threat.

[The Englishman]

I think that they have been updated so that they are now a threat.

[The Englishman]

Heres a good website to get all the up to date news

WWW.Gallifreyone.com (http://www.Gallifreyone.com)

[WallCrawl]

I think that they have been updated so that they are now a threat.

Do you know how much they've been updated? I'm guessing they've been completely redesigned, since that seems to be in keeping with the direction of the new show.

[Goldenage Batman]

Who the hell is "Dr.WHO"....?

[taku]

Who the hell is "Dr.WHO"....?

I actually just became a fan of the show just recently...he's The Doctor. :D

[Goldenage Batman]

Well what's he do...?...

[maxwell's demon]

Well what's he do...?...

he's The Doctor.










and he's a time lord.

[Goldenage Batman]

Well what is it that makes him so great....?....Is the show like E.R....?...

[maxwell's demon]

no.

[Goldenage Batman]

So he's just a Doctor...?....and does what then....?...

[maxwell's demon]

no. he's a time lord.

[Flame on!]

Do you know how much they've been updated? I'm guessing they've been completely redesigned, since that seems to be in keeping with the direction of the new show.
Actually, they're pretty much the same except they don't wobble as much.

And for the record, the Daleks have been able to go up stairs ever since Remembrance of the Daleks with Sylvester McCoy.

[WallCrawl]

Hehe, that's going to be hilarious.

[The Englishman]

And for the record, the Daleks have been able to go up stairs ever since Remembrance of the Daleks with Sylvester McCoy.

Yeah i know but thats just a running joke people use to say that the Daleks were not much of a threat.

Super Saiyan 2..... He's a Time Lord but he could proberly do as good a job as Noah Wyle does..:p

[spydermixx]

[The Englishman]

Peter Davison and Tom Baker were the best.:D

Blayton don't know when it will be on over in the states, i mean it's not even on over here in England yet.

[taku]

Pertwee!

[The Englishman]

Does anybody remember the villains called The Autons; villains who look like shop manaquins but alot more deadlier from the John Pertwee era?? Well i think they are going to be the villains in the first episode...Brillient!! :D :up:

Sorry, I posted part of my message by accident.
Silly me :rolleyes: .

[Lighthouse]

I'm an American Doctor Who fan, and I'm really excited about the new series. My jaw dropped when I heard it was coming back, cause honestly, I really never thought they'd do it. It sucks that they haven't announced an American viewing start date, but I get BBC America, maybe they'll show it on there. I really hope they bring back the Master as a villian. I always liked their Holmes/Moriarty relationship.

As for his attire, I was kind of put off by it at first, but each Doctor is supposed to heavily contrast the others, and that outfit is certainly different from the past.

While I like all of the Doctors, my favorite was Tom Baker. He was just really funny and eccentric. I also really like Patrick Troughton, and its a damn shame most of his episodes are gone forever.

The Doctors attire is a bit low ket but im liking it now.This Doctor is abit of a "working class" and definatly "Northern" version which should be cool..

[P. Cushing]

Eccletsone? Bah! Toby Stephens or Richard E Grant both would've been better! I'm glad to see the Daleks back. Maybe they can give the other Doctors cameos. Tom Baker as a politician, Sylvester McCoy as a pedestrian who gets hit by a bus...

[SLYspyda]

tom baker's the best, im getting goosebumps thinking about all those episodes of dr. who i watched as a child. didn't they like bring someone back from their "dead" sort of state every episode. and what about that nasty crawling thing that oozed stuff

[Lighthouse]

I always thought Raph Fiennes would make an awesome Doctor.

Grant did play the doctor. Two times. He played him in the Comic Relief episode and then at around Christmas 03 he played him in an animated webcast. But I suppose they don't count. But Eccleston is a really good actor. I've got faith in him.

[The Englishman]

He's going to put a new spin on the character. He's going to be a more Grittier Doctor. :D

[P. Cushing]

Grant did play the doctor. Two times. He played him in the Comic Relief episode and then at around Christmas 03 he played him in an animated webcast. But I suppose they don't count.
The parody doesn't count, but Scream of the Shalka was in continuity and has Grant as the official 9th Doctor. He's been retconned out by the new show.

[The Lizard]

One of my favorite toys I had as a kid was the 6" talking Dalek toy made by Palitoy that I ordered from a sci-fi mail order catalog. Since most of us American fans had nothing toy-related to choose from over here, it was quite a thrill.

[The Englishman]

I remember that toy. I also had a corgi T.A.D.I.S toy, cant remember many other toys??

[Lighthouse]

I want a real TARDIS.

[P. Cushing]

Has anyone here heard Tom Baker's reading of his autobiography? It's fantastic. Hands down the best audiobook I've heard.

I've just finished watching it, and I liked it quite a bit. I can't wait to see more. Oh man, just hearing that music again was the shiznit. And it helps that Rose is a piece of chunky hotness, with fabulous bj lips. :up:

[taku]

I just finished watching. I don't think I have the words for what I feel right now, but I'll give it my best. I think it's euphoria. Whichever jackass on AICN that said this wasn't Doctor Who can go suck a urinal puck, as he was dead wrong.

Spoilers may follow...

The Doctor was funny, and an absolute joy to watch. Eccleston really made the character extremely likable. Rose is a babe, plain & simple. :) The story was the best Autons story I've seen, and really moved at an enjoyable pace. I loved the Nestene in this episode. Sure it wasn't a glowing orb that sprouted tentacles, but damn did it look badass. Same can be said of the Auton invasion: badass. The chaos of it all was really great. For once an Auton invasion actually felt like an invasion. I'm not too sure if that was explained in an old episode, but what's the deal with the Doctor not being able to save the Auton's planet? Is this something new?

I'm gonna let it sink in, watch it again tomorrow, and come back with more thoughts. But my initial impressions: 5/5 DALEKS!

[P. Cushing]

I can't find it anywhere! Does anyone have a link to a torrent site that has it?

Meh. Its okay. I think they should just clean up the original version and use that.

[P. Cushing]

I liked the version they used for Scream of the Shalka. They should just recut that.
I'll post my thoughts on the first ep soon as I am about to watch it.

I don't like it. The one on the leaked episode is a lot better.

[The Englishman]

I Cant wait for this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spydermixx]

ok i settled down to watch this episode after being hyped for most of the week, and BOY was i disappointed! after all the controversy about the current writers not being able to garner some of the more memorable aspects of the old series until media intervention (daleks anyone?) i can see why.

the writer takes everything sacred about the good ol doc and has spun out what is essentially a dumbed down version for the younger generation. i grew up watching the doctor in the early evenings after school, and although they were accessible enough to young viewers then they also had the broader appeal to the adults whod grown up years before me watching the show.

after watching this it just seems to me the beeb are targeting a young audience and not bothering with us oldies (and i use that term loosely :) )who have been long term fans of the show. a lot of this episode made it seem ideal for kids tv in that slot just after newsround and before neighbours.

now i can hear the clamours its only the first episode and that it is just a rough cut according to some sources and i admit i am more than willing to see some good come out of this and i hope i can be proved wrong throughout this series!

i wasnt sure on the choice of actor for the doctor and the initial promos for the show gave a hint of a dark somewhat grittier direction for the good doc which has yet to be realised so far. ATM hes just not the doc in my eyes, i can tell he is trying with his different characteristics (e.g."Tom Baker’s mad grin and sudden command, Jon Pertwee’s physicality, Patrick Troughton’s impish side") but he seems to be spreading himself too thin Rose, im not too sure about yet, she comes across as a bit.... meh... so we'll have to see, although the latest rumours have her asking the writer to pen a musical episode in the vein of a buffy episode.....

in the case that the series continues in quality, id hope this series would be retconned by having the real TARDIS land on this so far "fake-ass" doc :P

Don't flame me for this but
Is that the girl from BBC's Coupling?

[P. Cushing]

No, but Coupling's main writer is writing some Who eps.

[Flame on!]

I kinda liked the new theme...had the sci-fi elements of the orginal combined with epic nature of later themes...

And it will probly sound better when heard in context, ie. with the visuals.

Promising start for this new series...you can see that they rushed to get eveything set in motion (the new Doctor, what a TARDIS is, new companion...etc). Now everything is set, the stories should really kick off...

Here's a new tv ad that the BBC has been running. One word: awesome.

[The Englishman]

The show has been commisioned for a Second series and a Christmas special!!!!! WOOOO HOOOOOOO!

[Lighthouse]

Holy crap! Christopher Eccleston is quitting after only one season!!!! The Doctor is running out of regenerations. We need another Tom Baker, badly.

[P. Cushing]

As an Eccleston replacement, I'd lilke:
Clive Merrison
Ian Richardson
David Warner
John Moffatt
Richard E Grant
Efrem Zembalist Jr.
Stephen Fry
Jeremy Northam
Hugh Laurie (if House gets cancelled)
David Suchet (He can overcome the height)
Nicholas Courtney
Sean Pertwee
Michael Kitchen

Tough..........................David Tennant has been offered it already.

[The Englishman]

I was warming to Eccleston as well, i thought he had the potential to be 1 of the best Doctors. David Tennant would be a good choice but i think the most interesting one i've heard is Sean Pertwee, that would be good. Another actor who i think would make a good Doctor is Anthony Stewart Head (Giles from Buffy) if you did'nt know who he was.

[The Englishman]

Im going to start watching Cassanova on monday night BBC one to watch David Tennant perform a more eccentric role. I've seen him before in the BBC series Blackpool (which i loved by the way) and i thought he was good but he was playing a normal Bloke.

[Super_Child]

Can't wait for tonight, THE END OF THE WORLD! WOOT!

[Super_Child]

Well it just finished, and it was awesome. Bring on next week :)

[Kevin Roegele]

I'm glad Eccleston has quit. He was almost playing a pantomime version of the Doctor. Although he is a great actor, he plays the character as a working class, matey bloke who would rather be down the pub than exploring some alien world. And it's not really due to the writing; the Doctor has always been written the same, from the 60's to the present, it's the actor's take on it that differentiates them.

[Union Jack]

the doctor has always had a different type of personality from one change to the next,look at colin bakers doctor...nasty almost...
as for eccleston,i really like his doctor,he is cheerful and happy...almost eccentric with it too,but as seen in the end of the world he has a serious streak when he killed cassandra at the end she blew up in a sticky mess
its a shame he isnt coming back.

[Mr. Thing]

*sniff*

The Moxx of Balhoon, he's *sniff*...d,d,de... *burst out crying*

[OtepApe]

As this is only my second episode tonight, I have to say I enjoyed it. I liked the serious posistions that he was found in tonight, especially when talking about his home planet.

[Danalys]

the second ep was so much better.

[P. Cushing]

I've just finished listening to Death Comes To Time and I realise now that Stephen Fry is the best choice for the 10th Doctor.

[Captain Villa]

I've just finished listening to Death Comes To Time and I realise now that Stephen Fry is the best choice for the 10th Doctor.


No,never,nein,nope.

[The Englishman]

Liked this Episode. Good Aliens, good story. I don't remember Gallifrey being destroyed and the war with the Time Lords...When did this happen and during which Doctors era?? One thing that i did,nt like was the fact that it was The year 5 Billion and they are still listening to Britney Spears...give me a break!!! People now aint even listening to Britney Spears. If they were going to put some classic earth music why not some Beatles or Elvis? I just feel that at times so far it's trying to be "Too Hip", anyone agree??

[OtepApe]

I think that maybe when it said classic earth music and then played Britney, I think it was meant as a joke. mean we all know Britney's crap and it was just a bit of fun.

[Vapor]

I saw all but the last 15 mins of Episode 2 cos I went out. I thought it was ok. Billie Piper was more annoying in this one than the first, maybe cos she seemed a bit whiney. The spiders reminded me of the Replicators from Stargate.

As for a new doctor, I think Sean Pertwee would be ok and I've also heard people suggest Alan Davis and Hugh Laurie...

[Captain Villa]

Anyone read the NOTW today ???

BBC bigwigs want PAUL McGANN to return !!!!

That would suit me.

[The Englishman]

But how would they revert back to Doctor no# 8??

I liked McGann.

[Union Jack]

i suppose they could just bring mcgann back and pretend eccleston never happened.
or it was a dream...thats always a favourite!!

[Hollow Wood Director]

But how would they revert back to Doctor no# 8??

I liked McGann.


Plenty of ways.

Just tell past stories from Doctor no 8.

Create a temporal paradox so that the Paul McGann version of the Doctor can continue the further adventures.

Create a storyline that has the Doctor come up against a technology that reverts him back to his previous regeneration.

[Red Mask]

i suppose they could just bring mcgann back and pretend eccleston never happened.
or it was a dream...thats always a favourite!!

The Dallas excuse is no longer a hip solution.

[P. Cushing]

McGann could be brought in as the 10th Doctor. Just have him wigless and in a different costume and stick in a comment about how his body looks familiar.

[Flame on!]

So Eccles is the last Time Lord then, huh? Am I right in assuming that Gallifrey operates outside the normal realms of time, otherwise what's to stop the 9th Doc going and rescuing fellow Lords? It would go a long way to explaining why none of the other Doctors never noticed that his planet had gone bye bye when he visited the far flung future...

McGann coming back is easy. Eccleston sacrificies himself in a sort of cosmic rewind that restores Gallifrey and reverts back him back to McGann.

[Lighthouse]

But if they did the cosmic rewind wouldn't he turn back into Eccelston when he dies?

[Lighthouse]

BTW, Austraila and New Zealand are now going to start getting Doctor Who....but nothing for the states. *shakes fist in air*

Dunno....isn't every regeneration specific to the circumstances surrounding the 'death'? Or am I making that up...

Dont worry, your not missing anything.

I don't remember Gallifrey being destroyed and the war with the Time Lords...When did this happen and during which Doctors era??

Yes but it lacks something.

It is now glossy yet childish and tacky.

The 96 movie hit the nail on the head.

[Hollow Wood Director]

Liked this Episode. Good Aliens, good story. I don't remember Gallifrey being destroyed and the war with the Time Lords...When did this happen and during which Doctors era?? One thing that i did,nt like was the fact that it was The year 5 Billion and they are still listening to Britney Spears...give me a break!!! People now aint even listening to Britney Spears. If they were going to put some classic earth music why not some Beatles or Elvis? I just feel that at times so far it's trying to be "Too Hip", anyone agree??

Galifrey didn't explode in another Doctor's era as far as we know. It was something they wrote into the current script with Eccelston, to create an ongoing storyline that will be slowly unveiled as the series progresses.

Why not Britney? Some of us listen to classical music, and some of that is over a century old. Perhaps there were other musical artifacts stored away, but we happened to drop in on a scene where Britney was the listening choice of the day.

Perhaps the new show is trying to be hip, but it's not the first time this has happened. Dr Who shows have always been a product of their time drawing upon contemporary themes, and popular culture. K9 was created to be the Doctors equivalent of R2D2, during the hey day of the Star Wars phenomena. Jon Pertwee's Doctor knew Venusian Karate, which just so happened to be a time when Bruce Lee, and martial arts films were the next big thing. James Bond was also hip, so Pertwee got all manner of gadgets to use in his shows.

I guess some of you missed the joke, or what had happen previously in the episode.

When the Lady Cassandra, the last human on earth, was introducing the ostrich egg she mentioned that, "legend has it that it had a wingspan of 50 feet and blew fire from its nostrils." And the jukebox, according to the archives, was an, "Ipod, storing classics from humanity's greatest composers."

*cue Tainted Love.*

Thus there's irony and humor in lifeforms from different glaxies gathering for a ceremony to witness a great celestial artistic event while listening to what is believed to be a classic tune, when it's actually ***** on a stick.

I thought it was fairly obvious that the future inaccuracy of human history recording was being played for a larf.

I'm really peeved that we can't get to see Doctor Who in America, been a long time fan of the show for decades.

Not bad. Definatley one to put the kids hiding behind the sofas again.

If it fails anywhere, it is making stories fit 45 mins instead of 4 episodes.

[P. Cushing]

I prefer this format. Too many of the old stories were just padded to fill the length and concentrated more on building up to a cliffhanger than telling a good story.
I loved the latest episode. Callow was fantastic and Gatiss is officially the best Who writer since Bob Holmes (as well as being the best Master)!

I'm sure the Master will surface again. He is to the Doctor, what Moriaty is to Holmes. His equal, and opposing force who shares a history with the good Doctor.

The last time we saw the Master was in the Paul McGann TV movie, he was sucked into the "Eye of infinity " inside the Cloister Room of the Tardis.

[P. Cushing]

Yeah, but Moriarty only appeared in one story (he was mentioned in a couple of others) and he was killed off in it.

The last time we saw the Master was in the Paul McGann TV movie, he was sucked into the "Eye of infinity " inside the Cloister Room of the Tardis.
Who says we have to see that incarnation of the Master. What about all his incarnations between Delgado and Pratt (The Deadly Assasain). He's a time traveller too, so what's to stop him from meeting up with the Doctor during one of those lives?

Good point, perhaps a bad comparision, maybe he's the equivalent of the Joker to Batman or perhaps Luthor to Supes.

This is true, we may see some kind of story that completely side steps the events in the McGann movie, and introduces us to a previous incarnation of the Master, maybe a version of the Master that is yet to be assuming the Master can still steal lives like he did in the Movie. I'm pretty sure they will bring back the Master one way of another.

Has anyone else here read Tom Baker's marvellous autobiography (the quote in my sig comes from there)? It's hilarious and very well written.
I think the BBC should give Tom his own half an hour show were someone asks him a bunch of ordinary questions and he just gives out his usual types of answers. It'd be rediculously entertaining. For example, this is from an interview a couple of months ago:
Q) What book are you reading at the moment?
A) The Bible. I adore melodrama.

That's cool it's never good to be too fanatical about anything in life. I was wondering the age range of Who fans on the Hype. I know there are hardcore fans who have followed the show for years like myself, but maybe the new series has captured a new fan base who are only just finding out about the Doctors history in all forms of media.

Are you a new devotee or been following Who for a while?

[Captain Villa]

Im 33, UK based and always watched it. however my childhood preferences were Star Wars & superheroes. I watched Dr Who every week but it was way down my priorities.

I enjoyed it up until Peter Davison left.................then found Colin Baker irritiating.

The final nail in the coffin though was Sylvester McCoy. We Brit kids knew him as a rather lame, unfunny kids TV character in a poor show called "Jigsaw". He was crap in that and when he took on the Dr, you knew the BBC were barrel scraping.

Make no mistakes, yes the BBc scrapped it BUT the producers killed it really with poor stories, sets and a massively bad choice of Dr's in C.Baker & McCoy.

However my somewhat small "love" was rekindled when Paul McGann did a great job in 96. He really should be brought back for a 2nd chance.

Thanks for the insight into your background. I quite agree with your assessment of the show. The quality of the stories, and the acting went downhill in subsequent seasons from the Colin Baker era ending in Sylvestor McCoy. It was good that they called it quits at that time. The wait was well worth it in the end. A new generation of good writers came onboard, and now large scale special effects are possible on a tv budget. I hope the Star Trek producers take note of this, because that franchise really needs a rest till somebody can breath new life into it.

Don't forget Sylvestor McCoy also got his first break on TV on the show "Vision On" which was a precursor to "Take Hart" and "Hartbeat". He was the resident clown. He chased a furry snake like creature around the studio floor, and up and down the furniture. Judging by those performances I always knew he would go on to become the greatest Doctor of all time. ( sarcasm )

I too would like Paul McGann to reprise his role, but somehow I think he may turn down down any offer they give him now after being snubbed, and side stepped by the Beeb who prefered to go with a new actor in the role instead.

[Captain Villa]

[P. Cushing]

I liked McCoy once he got settled in. He's said since in interviews that he wasn't sure what to do with the part at first, but when then realised he wanted a darker Doctor. I think this is proven by his performance, which improved greatly once he acquired Ace and lost Mel. Compare him in the dire Time and the Rani with the wonderful Curse of Fenric. Or better yet compare his performance in Death Comes To Time or the Big Finish productions with any of his earlier TV stuff. Huge improvement.

Huge improvement, but he still lacked something the previous Doctors had, and that was screen presence. He never owned the role like Pertwee or Tom Baker did. They were totally believable because they were strong personalities, confident in their choices, even when it came to script ammendments.

Pertwee, and Baker had a slippery start, but even those embrionic perfomances outshone anything McCoy did. The writing had turned campy, and one dimensional. Even McCoy's best intentions couldn't have overcome those obstacles, no matter how much he became one with the character he portrayed.

David Tennant Is... Doctor Who!

http://images.gallifreyone.com/newsgraphics/davidtennant2.jpg

David Tennant, a rumored candidate for the role for the past several weeks in the wake of Christopher Eccleston's highly-publicized departure, will play the tenth incarnation of the Doctor for the second season of Doctor Who, as revealed by the BBC Press Office on Saturday morning in an official press release.

[Hollow Wood Director]

David Tennant confirmed as the tenth Doctor Who

David Tennant is confirmed as the tenth Doctor Who, it was announced today by Jane Tranter, BBC Controller of Drama Commissioning, following the recommissioning of the second series.

Tennant, whose recent credits include BBC THREE's critically-acclaimed drama series Casanova, BBC ONE's Blackpool and He Knew He Was Right, will star alongside Billie Piper who returns as Rose Tyler.

Julie Gardner, BBC Head of Drama, Wales says: "Christopher Eccleston has given an exceptional performance as the ninth Doctor.

"David Tennant is a great actor who will build on the excellent work already done by Christopher in establishing Doctor Who for a new generation."

David Tennant says: "I am delighted, excited and honoured to be the tenth Doctor!

"I grew up loving Doctor Who and it has been a lifelong dream to get my very own TARDIS.

"Russell T Davies is one of the best writers television has ever had, and I'm chuffed to bits to get the opportunity to work with him again.

"I'm also really looking forward to working with Billie Piper who is so great as Rose.

"Taking over from Chris is a daunting prospect; he has done a fantastic job of reinventing the Doctor for a new generation and is a very tough act to follow."

Executive producer/writer Russell T Davies adds: "Christopher Eccelston's wonderful Doctor has reinvented the role, so that it now appeals to the best actors in the land.

"I'm already writing David's first new adventure on board the TARDIS!

"Regeneration is a huge part of the programme's mythology, and I'm delighted that new, young viewers can now have the complete Doctor Who experience, as they witness their hero change his face!"

A new 13-part adventure and Christmas special begins filming in Cardiff in the summer for transmission on BBC ONE.

[Captain Villa]

I liked McCoy once he got settled in. He's said since in interviews that he wasn't sure what to do with the part at first, but when then realised he wanted a darker Doctor.


Thing is though, his primary audience , The UK, knew him as a failed comedian /actor and were prejudiced from the start. He could never win.

[The Red Skull]

Tennant's a great actor. I'm sure he'll do the role proud.

[Mr. Thing]

Guess what, Eccleston will die at the end of the series. Then regenerate in the Christmas special.

[The Englishman]

I like this choice, I think he looks more like a Time Lord than Ecclestone. I liked his work in Blackpool and Cassanova. :up:

[Mr. Thing]

Tonights ep was amazing. Some classic monsters there.

[Lord Valumart]

the only thing that scared me was that the BBC have beatten Lucas at sci-fi, this is a bad day for SW fans, but then again...

The Tardis doesn't always work properly, so it's better for the good Doctor to solve the problems right there, and then while encountering them.

[P. Cushing]

they don't think to perhaps try again, and get to the right date.
Impossible. Did you notice the Doctor's mad dash to get to Rose before she came into contact with her mum? This was because once she was seen by someone here she had impinged on this timeline and any attempt to go back to the right time would cause a paradox.

[pdb781]

last saturday's episode probably was the most flawed. fart jokes. rose calling the doctor gay. no explanation of why they didn't just go back a year. and i thought the aliens could have been better, too. the big ben thing was good though, and the pig. that guy was so cute!

[P. Cushing]

tonights (23/4) episode was an improvement on last weeks in my opinion. i'm really glad they played down the whole fart thing.

I loved the bit in the pretitle sequence where the Doctor rips off his security pass and attaches it to the Sliveen.

[Lord Valumart]

the phone bit was brilliant.:):D:)

[The Englishman]

What phone bit??

[Lighthouse]

Does anyone want to see Nicholas Courtney make a cameo? Not a big part but just a quick recognition between him and the Doctor.

[P. Cushing]

Yes, yes, yes and yes! I would've loved it if before the Doctor decided to bomb #10, he called up General Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart (Retired) and got him to stop the UN from handing over the codes.

[Doobie88]

Well this kinda sucks, all you guys are a week ahead of us Canadians. I just saw the first episode with the farting aliens last night, and you're all discussing the next episode.. Oh well.

when the aliens are waiting on the phone ringing, "ring damn you!"

[pdb781]

at least billie piper didn't call the doctor "gay" again. that was terrible.

[Lord Valumart]

i think they were trying to be "up-to-date", cause thats what people would do now a days if some one annoyed them

it just seemed so wrong.

well, i haven't seen that much of the Doctor, just the odd Tom Baker ep, so as far as i knew they were still screwed if the Doctor hid in an office three steps off of the ground.

4. (i lied, sue me)Simon Peeeeegg, Simon Peeeeeegg, wayhayay, wayhayay

apart for those flaws good ep:up:

1. The Darlek absorbed roses DNA pattern to survive/re-engerise it self, so of course it gained her emotions over time, hence why it understood "the blackness" at the end. my guess is if darleks suffered such amount of damage and survived they would use there own dna for the purpouses of re-engergising

2.Bruno sucked!
3.They better make it into the next series that and the master ...

I found it quite funny that this episode "Darlek" gave the Darleks more depth and character in 45mins than 50+ hours of Darlek episodes :D with the exception of those which Davros was in, but even then this episode was a 'perfect' conclusion to the Darleks...

And by the way, I'm too lazy to go searching. Linky linky ...

[Danalys]

well at least the dalek realized it should kill itself.

[Bat Brain]

How many more episodes do we have to endure with Bruno Langley? One was bad enough.

Otherwise, great episode. My sister, 17, is now a Doctor Who fan because of that episode. She said that the Dalek actually scared her.

W00t! Simon Pegg as The Editor. I can't freakin' wait.

Wow! This ep surpassed The Unquiet Dead and is now my favourite ep of new Who. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is the first time we've seen a Dalek in it's pure form, without the metal casing.

[Rob Al Ghul]

Well P. Cushing I swear in one of the episodes Tom Baker gets strangled by one of the 'pure form' Darleks, but we never get to see its body just one those tentacle's ...
