Official Doctor Who Thread

read back a few pages, this has already been disscussed.

well no one is any wiser to be honest and we got at least 10 weeks till we get official news so i guess its ok to comment on Saxon

and lifes too short to scroll through that lot again

sorry for the double post
i did go back and read some of the past posts and timed out

is there a clue in the Saxon episode being titled LAST OF THE TIMELORDS
we know that the Dr is supposed to be the last but is this an indication another arrives on the scene to challenge the Dr and fail leading to the title of the episode being relevant
whats the point of naming the finale after something we already know

One thing about the season premire and I know it's a small point and doesn't in any way take away from it being a fantastic episode.

If you have the majority of blood drained from your body. CPR will not help you.

Assuming that a Time Lord's physiology works the same as that of a human, of course. Which we already know it doesn't in several ways, and something like this could very well be another.

Perhaps two hearts means two separate cardiovascular systems? Maybe having one drained was enough to make him go into shock. And Martha managed to restart the heart in the second system. Which, if you think about it, makes sense, because the Doctor's behavior at that point is very similar to someone who has lost a great deal of blood.

The point is, the Doctor is an alien. The double hearts, living for a darn long time, the whole thing the Doctor did with giving up a bit of his life force to power the TARDIS, regeneration, etc... why would you expect his physiology to be exactly the same as a human's?

One thing I noticed, they haven't mentioned in this incarnation about Time Lords running out of regenerations. I wonder if RTD is going to eliminate that. If so it could explain how the Master could be back. Allot of people think he's Saxon, but I'm not sure.

I think that's not been mentioned simply because it's an awkward and arbitrary thing to explain. RTD hates too much chit-chat like that.

and vintage- irritating as it may be, those 'grounded' epsidoes have done better, viewing wise, than the hard sci-fi ones. Really, no-one of any note is going to argue with RTD's methods; he's just been doing too darn well.

well i hope it pays off in the long term
the general uk viewing public are an MOR bunch as it shows for them liking their Dr Who episodes to have a splash of Soap
lets not forget they are fickle too and have the ultimate POWER
THEY are Dr Whos greatest enemy..screw the Daleks
8m opening episode.....hope it lasts

Which Doctor Who villian that has not been seen in the new series would you like to see brought back?

Well of course The Master
failing that id like to see The Sea Devils,The Sontarons,The Zygons,maybe Davros or Omega from The 3 Doctors

and sorry for being too obvious and i know itll never happen but id love Ecclestone and maybe McGann to come back and help out Tennant for an episode to take one of the above on

i cant believe that bitter ITV have put Harry Hill..probably the only decent thing other than WHO on Saturday ...on at 7.10

good job ITV now is pretty much a repeat channel nowadays

A so-so episode this week, you can not expect them all to be great. 😉

But it did kill 45 minutes.

What did you find wrong with it? I thought it was a great episode.

it was fantastic
9/10 only let down by the woeful cgi witch creatures at the end

I liked it a lot, though Shakespeare and witchcraft is a combo where it's more or less guaranteed I'd like it 😛 the Harry Potter references amused me a lot as well.

Caught Harry Hill after Who in ITV 3. He has some funny Who reference there.

Anyway, yes, that was one of the silliest episodes ever, but none the worse for it, and very funny indeed.

i thought Frema was great in this Episode as well
2 stories in and shes got me

Is this weeks one a double bill of the Daleks? As episode 4 is called Daleks in Manhattan and the doctor turns up in New New York in this weeks episode Gridlock, could I be right?

No, that's later on.

This week's one seems to be about New New York's equivalent to sewer crocodiles.
