Doctor Who

[NEG]

When I say best season in years mind you, I'm simply speaking script/story-wise. Whilst Capaldi is good in the role, it's not him that's making 2014 good, in my opinion. Same way I enjoyed Matt Smith's first season and then it became an increasingly complicated (or simply crap) mess.

Tennant's obviously had his time, but I'd happily have him in these episodes. Same for Eccelstone. Or Baker.

How many people have re watched Blink since it was first shown? It's on Netflix. It's still very good but there's plenty of clunk in there and it's not quite as good as I remembered it.

[Mr Cochese]

I instantly hated the main woman in Blink, so there's that.

I watched it in April and, if anything, it was EVEN BETTER than I remember it.

Perhaps more so because the Weeping Angels went to shit afterwards...

[El Pibe]

The bit with the DVD really was excellent.

[Davros sock drawer]

Yeah, I watched it again recently. Totally stands up. Probably the best Nu Who story.

[Commander Jameson]

I watched it as part of the Human Nature/Family of Blood trilogy and couldn't take my eyes off it.

[SqueakyG]

I remember there was a period of time when everyone was hoping the companion after Martha would be Sally Sparrow. She would have been awesome... but I suppose Carey Mulligan got too famous/legit around that time.

I rewatched Blink recently and I thought the male character was a bit of a proto-Rory.

YOU FUCKING TAKE THAT BACK

[HarMGM]

Again, i'm not someone who loves Blink as much as other. But i'd be lying if I said Carey Mulligan didn't look dead sexy in it.

[NEG]

Midnight and Family of Blood are better for me, but Blink comes damn close.

Edit: and I love the Titanic special, too.

[Guest]

You love the titanic special?

[Sprite Machine]

Somebody has to.

[Comrade]

Tennant's regeneration is also one of the worst. His tantrum-y, "I don't want to go!" is excruciating to watch.

Moffat's pisstake of that in the 50th special was amazing, possibly my favourite single moment of nuWho.

[NEG]

You love the titanic special?

For me it's just the right blend of adventure, peril, cast and Christmas. It's length makes it feel more like a movie, too.

Nothing sophisticated or too meaningful, I'm a time lord scene is a bit cringey now, but it's one of those episodes that's just perfect family faire, like bumping into Bond movies on ITV on a bank holiday.

Just watched Flatline. Fantastic episode. New bloke has penned by far the best two eps of the series. Both cleverly conceived, nicely self-contained ideas. With loads of great character moments and dialogue in each. Looking forward to more from him.

And Capaldi is just owning it at the moment.

[gospvg]

Doctor Who cancelled for tomorrow then?

[NEG]

Regeneration probably fixes that.

no expense spared

London seems awfully empty of people. I'm not sure trees popping up overnight will keep everyone indoors.

[Mr Cochese]

X-Factor is still on the other side.

[SeanR]

kill it with fire

[Bacon Horsemeat]

"Because I don't want to be the last of my kind"

OUCH

[Hexx]

Eurgh. This is really duff.

[SeanR]

fucking trees...

[Bacon Horsemeat]

Reminds me of that episode when David Tennant called the world for that... something... and the collective power of them saying something....can't remember.

[Bacon Horsemeat]

Maeve's mother is the teacher who fucks the kid in Skins

[SeanR]

wait, who's Annabelle?

[c-cat114]

Well. That was rubbish.
