Doctor Who, Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures...

[The Crazy One]

I am really looking foward to how this wraps up this Saturday. It was a realy good episode, but I fear it could be a let down at the ending.

The Finale was super, as usual!

I'm very happy they kept Amy and Rory with the Doctor. It seemed too little screen time for the pair of them in this series!

Anyway, I see they set up something else for the next series! Riversong sure is mysterious.

[Lord Arjay]

Finally did anyone notice the doctor's magic coat? At first the angels grab it and the doctor is seen without it, then it suddenly re-appears (during his chat to Amy about remembering something) then it disappears again! Plot error or intentionally there?

Oh yes I realise that. I've just got this feeling that next episode will go back to young Amy and that this alliance is merely treated to a cameo. Don't quote me on that as it's just guesswork.

Give me a medal. NOW! Anyway good episode though the dalek begging for mercy was a bit out of character. Nice that they left Mr Big Bad a mystery even if I was hoping for some sort of clue. Yay Rory got to stay! So egyptian god on the oriental express in space for christmas. Maybe post in more depth later.

[The Crazy One]

Loved the episode, and I am so happy to see Amy and Rory stay with us. Will comment more later.

I have mixed feelings about the finale, really. It didn't have the storyline of a master piece of a DW episode. I guess the usual end of series reset button, 'Oh dear! Here comes the Daleks' (serously, those things are overused!) thing can get predictable, and I get tired whenever 'DW sciences' comes into the equation.

I also think that the writers could finish there steaks when it came to this series, and that numerous things have just been left till the Christmas special, even the Big Bad of the series has been left largely ambiguous.

On the plus side, I look forward to more River Song next year!

So egyptian god on the oriental express in space for christmas.

Well a few Christmas's ago we had a Titanic in space, so lets assume it's too outlandish.

EDIT: Maybe the goddess is one of the Catkind we've seen in New Earth and Gridlock.

Wow, that finale was incredible! Too much to describe, I honestly loved it, so much! Can't wait fro the next one!

Here's a couple of pictures I thought you might enjoy of myself as the good Doctor:

I'm also about to nip down the shop to grab some custard for my dinner - yep, you guessed it, FISH CUSTARD!

I dunno. I thought that was a pretty terrible finale. It sacrificed all the amazing things that The Pandorica Opens had, and whole swathes of it were just stupid.

- The most secure prison in the universe, built specifically to trap the Doctor, mentioned as being deadlocked in The Pandorica Opens, can be opened from the outside just by sonicking it?

- Every extraterrestrial thing on Earth outside the Pandorica is petrified by the death of the universe except for Rory. What?

- The Pandorica actively heals its occupants? It must have been designed by the Ogrons, considering all these flaws

- Despite being at the heart of the rebirth of the universe, the Doctor doesn't exist in it. Instead, he's brought back by the sheer specialness of Amy [explained as her sleeping next to a crack, but the cracks don't even exist in the new universe]

- Also, Amy hitting on the Doctor, in front of Rory, at their wedding. Why?

- River Song. So spectacular [and Moffat-created] that Daleks are afraid of her. The same Daleks that can't kill the Doctor with a direct shot, and apparently carry a database encompassing the whole of creation inside them.

I am however very pleased that Rory'll be a full time companion and the fez was the greatest bit. Wait. Amy remembers the fez. Maybe it'll return...

Oh, look stuff.

Xmas Special trailer:

Poster:

Space Shark

We've also missed an entire series of Sarah Jane Adventures and the S5 DVD/Blu-ray release.

[The Crazy One]

So, what do we think of the upcoming special. I saw Amy in her kissogram outfit and Rory in a roman outfit. Interesting...

I'll let you know when i see it They're on their honeymoon and they have a weird costume fetish or something.

[The Crazy One]

It was okay actually. Bit strange, but then again it Doctor Who! :P It was better than the RTD era ones though.

Coming soon: Woah! Very spooky.

The Pandorica was designed it to be easy to open from the outside and hard to open inside, like any prison.

The death of the universe wasn't instant, it was slowly dieing, closing in to the Box, also Rory was kinda invincible as he is made of plastic..

The Pandorica was a torture machine, they wanted the Doctor to feel pain for internally

The Dalek needed its blaster to charge before he could attack again, thats why he was merciless

I think the Big Bang was fantastic.

Anyone saw this?

Series 6

Edited December 26, 2010 by ceroknight

[Forresto]

Alright this is what I saw in the series 6 trailer.

- There is a "dangerous" prisoner that must not be gone near in Area 51. Doctor anyone?

-Nazis and maybe either a POW camp or a concentration camp.

-A ruined city?

-more of the inside of the Tardis? It's when Amy and Rory are running down a corridor and there are the same TARDIS bumps on the walls.

-The ood are back and they've got green eye

-I read in DWM that the opening two episodes are set in 1960's America. Which could mean it involves Kennedy's assassination.

-The alien at the end is wearing a suit and bears a resemblance to the Grey's in real life.

So Neil Gaiman is writing an episode (he wrote Coraline, Stardust, etc...)that is going to be set inside a dollhouse. That's probably what those creepy doll looking things were for. It's also a horror episode.

[Drathalieo]

I don't think the Ood will have a big role. Probably the same as the Stone Dalek did.

[Forresto]

Ya never know. The Ood haven't been done by Moffat yet so it could be interesting how and where his team takes them.

Much like the "zombie" Cyberman, look at it's role. :P

[YG-49]

Just watched A Christmas Carol fastracked from the UK.

One thing I noticed: In Father's Day, Rose holds her baby self and causes a paradox.

Whoever Michael Gambon was playing hugged his former self, and nothing happened.

What?

[Batbrick]

What?

Timey Wimey. Doctor Who has never been about consistency or scientific accuracy. Just good stories and fantasy.

[The Crazy One]

Meh, who cares. The reapers were awesome but the concept on which theta appear would make them more common than the daleks. But I think they appear when time is suddenly changed, and drastically. Like when Rose gave his father life that he shouldn't have. Once a major incidence has happened, they can feed through on all the smaller events. If there isn't a drastic event they probably can't be bothered.

[Peppermint_M]

The reapers came because Rose saved her father's life. That was a major alteration to time (it caused the cycle on the street corner, where the events kept occuring to the point he should have been killed) and attracted the attention of the reapers. Holding her baby self allowed them more power as it was a further paradox on top of the first major paradox. In A Christmas Carol, there had not been any super major alteration to time, such as the act of increasing someones lifespan, so he could interact with his younger self without the reapers coming. Now, if the child had stayed much longer, or he had gone into his past for some reason, that probably would have alerted the reapers.

[Forresto]

Like what those above said, the only reason in Fathers Day it was an issue, is because it was attached on top of a major paradox. In on itself it's probably not too bad to meet yourself but only for a brief amount of time.

Michael Gambon's character was also already aware of the time Doctor's ability to time travel so that may have dampened the paradox's effect

[Drathalieo]

Nearly cried when Gambon hugged his child self.

[Stegoceras]

Just watched 'A Christmas Carol', very nice episode, well written by Steven Moffat and I must say Matt Smith is getting better and better at playing the doctor, I really enjoy seeing him as the doctor, hope he sticks around for a few more seasons.

Preview for the new season looks very promising too.
