Doctor Who

[pulsemyne]

I really enjoyed that one. I can imagine kids shitting their pants because of it.

[Hello Goaty ♥]

I'm with pulsemyne on it! Great episode I thought.

I wanted an extra scene at the end where the two things are reunited! Grrr. Minor gripe.

[Hexx]

Another good episode. Strong, and realtively simple, story. Good guest actors. Terror and warmth.

[Sidewaysbob]

I have a proper scared 8 year old to try and get to bed now.

Fantastic stuff.

[JPickford]

Finally. That was brilliant. And no saving the world.

[NecroMorrius]

I feel like they read my moan last week! That was just the ticket.

[Hello Goaty ♥]

I can't help but think the jumping on the Tardis thing between dimensions is a tool for getting Rose Back in! ( for the 50th show )

[El Pibe]

That was really enjoyable. Excellent.

How old is Scott supposed to be, though, if he was sending men to their deaths 30 years earlier in WWII!?

[Alex W.]

Nice sci-fi premise, and interesting take on the alien-ness of the Doctor.

Edit- Probably a coincidence but I liked that their pocket universe vortex looks like the one from TNG's Remember Me.

[kensei]

Yeah, they could have moved the story back 20 years and made no difference. Minor gripe though.

[Space Renegade Ulala]

I really liked that, best episode for aaaaaages.

[Commander Jameson]

Yes. That and Poltergeist, with the electronic equipment setup and the rope rescue.

A very good episode indeed. I thought Scott and Raine were excellent. The idea of the

time traveller and going through Earth's history to capture pictures

was great.

I could imagine Scott being in his early fifties and being in military intelligence in his early 20s.

[Flub]

Oh shit. I missed that when I looked at it on my iPhone.

FUCKING FUCK OFF WITH RIVER FUCKING SONG.

FUCK.

What is wrong with him? Everyone is sick to death of her.

Fucking hell. Stop ruining Who.

I really thought that we'd finally seen the back of her.

I still like her

[cassidy]

Bloody marvellous episode. Improvement again on last week.

[Flub]

Oh and for people listening to Big Finish Audios get "He jests at Scars"

[SqueakyG]

I hope some kids have nightmares tonight.

I mean that in a good way.

[FishyFish]

I liked the Planet of the Spiders reference.

Another good episode though - two in a row. Hope it keeps the momentum. Last weeks reminded me of Horror of Fang Rock, this one made me think of Image of the Fendahl.

[Pete]

Really liked that monster - it looked like something out of a nightmare at first; fuzzy, hard to define and menacing,

[HarMGM]

15 minutes late to the episode(bloody relatves!) so I had to watch it again to really see how the entire thing played out.

All in all, Mark Gatiss and Neil Cross have now both the better episodes of this season. Step up your game Moffat.

[Flub]

I just realised the woman who played Emma (Who I definitely would) is playing Verity Lambert in An Adventure in Time and Space. (Who I also would). I knew I'd heard her name before

[Dr Derek Doctors]

Ah, proper Dr Who is back again. Really great episode, that!

[Harsin]

A decent episode, guess the ropey space Egypt episode was an anomaly for Neil Cross. I kept wishing that psychic lady was the current companion, as she felt like an actual believable human character, as opposed to Clara who comes across as more of a ball of forced sassiness and affectations.

[cassidy]

Could Harsin be onto something regarding Clara. I think it's for a reason.

[FishyFish]

Apparently, the meaning of the name Oswin, is "God's friend". Not sure if that has any meaning or relevance to the show though.

[NecroMorrius]

Yeah, everyone seems to have picked up on her weird unblinking chirpiness now, even the dopes I watched this one with (parents lol). I really hope it's part of a long-game storyline and not just how she is. Coupled with the distracting hotness she simply doesn't sit right with me.

[Mogster]

Yeah, that was great. Along with everything else, it was great to have a reminder that the TARDIS has a personality.

Speaking of Big Finish, I jumped back in myself after reading the earlier posts. I picked up the first few Eighth Doctor main range audios years ago along with Circular Time, and loved the first EDA series played on Radio 4. I had no idea the EDAs went on for another three series though, so I picked up the first of the second lot, the first Fourth Doctor one (I had no idea Tom Baker had finally joined up!), and Spare Parts which I'd been meaning to listen to for years. It's great so far, and Davison is as perfect in it.

[jonamok]

Comfortably the best episode of this run. None of the awkwardness of last week, or the sheer silliness of the talking star/space egypt abomination. Dougray Scott was great, the core idea was nicely imagined and well delivered, and it was the scariest one for a while.

But...

The lovesick bone creature denouement was a slight bum note. And while Coleman does provide undeniable eye-candy, the character is starting to grate. I liked Rose, and loved Pond, but something interesting needs to happen with Clara and soon, as the perky-quirky-big-eyes thing is all too one-note.

Had a dream last night that Four and Five both met in the library at the Uni I used to go to.

Four was there already and had set a team of students trying to break through a wall with drills for some reason (there were puzzled queries from a librarian as to why they were wearing facemasks to read) when I spotted a glimpse of the white flannels.

Found the two of them guardedly assessing one another half way down an aisle of books then there was a hug.

[Captain Novaforce]

Great fun wee episode, I think they had to do that thing with the monster at the end to de-fang it a bit as it was freaky as hell. Like something out a Tool video

[Fireproofradiator]

That sounds better than new who....what happened next?

I woke up. Sorry man.
