and have you seen the writing in some previous episodes... I wouldn't put it past them.

and have you seen the writing in some previous episodes... I wouldn't put it past them. Well, yes, they have taken many liberties with the idea of time travel, but they have been largely acceptable for science fantasy. If it was science fiction then everything would have to be at least theoretically possible. It's not a matter of taking liberties with time though, it's making the biggest mistake any writer could make. 'It was all a dream' is one of if not THE biggest no-nos in the business. Moffat is no hack

well Skaro was brought back for this episode which I believe was destroyed in the time war during the older series of Doctor who, and even if they had some excuse for its resurection they still neglected their own plot devive about the entire time war being locked in a bubble. So surely the people who watched those episodes were annoyed to learn that the events they saw did not happen either and that a planet they thought was destroyed survived? Surely it's the same principle as learning a characters fate was not as we thought? but erm... with a whole planet. Oh well... time will tell.

Twisting theory is not the same as finding out it was all a dream. In the scenario you described it DID happen, but an alternative reality was written in which it didn't. With the scenario I described it didn't happen at all, we jut thought it did. There is a big distinction there.

Well maybe your right, they already did the false fate thing with the Doctors death last series... you know... how we all thought he was dead in the events that we saw but it turned out to be the tessalecta. I doubt they would use the false fate plot device two series in a row.

I doubt they would use the false fate plot device two series in a row. I'm not saying they won't do what you described, I'm just saying that it's unlikely. This will probably be written by Steven Moffat and he's very consistent with the universes he creates.

To be honest it doesn't matter what either of us think, it has already been written and nothing we can do will change that. I guess after some episodes *cough* last christmas special *cough* I've lost alot of faith in the writing. I did like the asylum episode but I can't help but feel they will take a cheap way out of the Oswin twist they created.

It wouldn't be the first time an actor has played a different part before getting a larger role. Karren had a part in the Pompei episode, Freema played a scientist that died in the series 2 finale and Colin Baker played a minor character the year before he got the part of the 6th Doctor.

David Mitchell and Robert Webb robots... doesn't get much better than that. It doesn't get much worse either. The series started with a bang, but this episode was a whimper. It's up there with the worse I've seen and I'm fearful of the next to be honest. Too many characters, too much happening and too little time to do it in, has always been a recipe for disaster.

Well I did say the writing would go downhill again, had to look for some redeeming features and I'm a huge fan of Mitchell and Webb. but yeah, there was too many cheap plot points... like how they couldn't cancel the missles with 30 minutes to impact that had only locked on and not launched? what sort of rubbish missles are those? I liked the concept of the silurian ark but once again the execution could of been better... didn't need an egyptian queen for instance... she could have been in a totally seperate story.

They introduced too many new characters which left them no time to flesh those characters out in the story. I didn't like the puerile innuendos either. It had everything in this episode that I absolutely hate about mainstream film making: shallow character, blundering robots, cute dinosaurs, pointless one liners, manipulative plot line, shoe horned in jokes and no time to examine deeper into the story.

Well here's an idea for a way to pass the time till next weeks episode... If you had to keep the silurian ark plot point, how would you have made the story go? Lets see if the central community can collectively beat Moffet's efforts.

Lets see if the central community can collectively beat Moffet's efforts. I wouldn't have changed the story at all to be honest. I would have removed three character, the cute dinosaur and replaced the two amusing robots with one functional, none funny robot and I would have explored the mindset of a guy who would commit genocide for profit (a mindset that would reverberate well in America)

2012-09-09 17:06:00 Author: GribbleGrunger Posts: 3910

I'd have gotten rid of the I.S.A. and that stupid missles plot point... and in turn expanded the whole alien black market thing, I'd also of had the Doctor's tardis become the dealers new target... cause when he said the Doctor brought something precious on board I was convinced it was his ship. In turn the robots, Queen and hunter would not have been needed... well maybe not the robots... but they would need to be more cold and calculated... as much as I like Mitchell and Webb they didn't suit the role and could of been put to different use, maybe as black market dealers? However I did quite like Rory's dad tagging along but hated the bloodline controlled spaceship... felt like a forced plot point.

2012-09-09 17:20:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414

Agreed, the Tardis would have easily replaced that 'precious' thing. I just found the whole episode really manipulative.

the bloodline controlled spaceship... felt like a forced plot point. It does fit in with the technology being Silurian, as a species that lays multiple eggs they will have a much higher number of individuals that are related which is a reasonably good security measure.

I don't understand entirely why the Doctor was identified as worthless.

2012-09-11 22:16:00 Author: Kern Posts: 5078

---

Cause the people who wrote the "pricing" program were unaware of his existance? Let me elaborate. He was officially assumed dead in 2011 Utah and since it was a known "fixed point" (source: Tesselecta crew member) it might devalue the product as it would be guaranteed to expire (e.g he has to die there, if they, say, froze him in a museum he would be quaranteed to escape and still die in Utah) hence since they don't know he "survived" past that date in his own timeline he is considered worthless. Well that's my theory at least... at lot of new Doctor Who is filling in the gaps yourself which to be honest is acually better when creating a mysterious character and universe.

it might devalue the product as it would be guaranteed to expire I'll try that arguement next time I'm at Tesco.

2012-09-11 22:45:00 Author: Rabid-Coot Posts: 6728

---

You could try =p I simply meant in a collector sort of way, like that one guy in the Ecclestone episode "Dalek" who had his collection in the underground museum, he wouldn't want that cyberman head going off and falling apart after paying lots of money for it.

2012-09-11 22:48:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414

He might lack value as a collectors item but he would hold value for other reasons.

2012-09-11 22:54:00 Author: Rabid-Coot Posts: 6728

You have another theory Rabid? I'm just glad they didn't pin it on Oswin influencing more than just Dalek memory loss =p

2012-09-11 22:59:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414

---

You have another theory Rabid? Only that the writers are being told to put things like that in to help establish that the Doctor is no longer the most famous person in all of time and space and that we'll get a rushed but sort of good explanation when the plot reaches its conclusion.

I disagree with your last point, i think there's too much to fill in, the plot holes are gaping and there are some horrific plot twists added in because it's becoming more like a children's story.

Next episode looks mighty weird. o-o Considering Doctor Who's had a pretty good track record though with it's oddball episodes, I've got my fingers crossed for the 'Power of Three', despite it's ridiculous name.

ok then... so what did y'all think this time round? personally I think once again it could have benefitted from a 2 part extended story, cause the cimax was pretty short and lacking a bit. There could have been lots of development of the "enemies plot" why did they want to erradicate humans again? and it could of been interesting exploring new Unit... also where did their red berets go? would of been a good opportunity to continue the standing joke "it's a beret, I wear a red beret now... beret's are cool" I like the idea of a slow invasion by cubes but feel it was too rushed (for a year long story) and didn't really show the Doctor adapting to a stationary life at all... like I hoped, they could have done more. I miss two parters but I'm guessing we might get one next week?

Either way, I like how they brought in Rory's dad again. As far as the Angel episode goes, it'll just be one episode. Fun Fact: All Doctor Who episodes this season have ended with a spaceship/pod blowing up.

Well in that case it'll probably be another dissapointment, the trailer seems to indicate quite a lot going on and they'll rush it just so it fits into 45 mins. =[

As far as power of three goes... I really didn't like it. The ending was so rushed and basically came down to a, 'reverse the polarity' type thing. And it seems that the 11th Doctor spends a lot of time being 'normal'. Looking at the Tenant episode, the dream one (the village bits anyway), second episode with Craig and now this. What are your thoughts on this? Also, more lights going out (though this time due to cubes. Unless...)

What are your thoughts on this? I don't count Tenant as his incarnation had a different personailty and Smith's current examples have been too short... it would have been good if he stayed the whole year, we saw his last 4 days before cracking and then he dissapeared until the end of the year. anyway, as to the angels... in the trailer the Doctors says "you just died" this better not be Moffats announced main character death cause didn't he promise a proper death this time? He spent so much time twisting the angels from "nice" killers (blink) into pretty violent ones (flesh and stone / the time of angels) to go back on that development now... however I did prefer the nice time travel death... but for consistancy they should remain developed... or else we'll have another fake death from the writer. Thoughts?

I too wasn't too keen on episode 4. Too much build up for the whole thing to end so quickly. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but was it ever explained why the ship was abducting people?

Your not wrong, originally I assumed that is what the cubes were counting down, like they needed 7 people but then the Doctor confirmed it was minutes and I was like :sadface:

ah.. where to begin... At first I thought it was an ok episode... until: 1. they set up the detective character at the start and did nothing with him... what a waste. 2. Rory should not be able to translate the vase as that is what the Tardis does when it is in the area... not a passive effect passed to passengers. 3. the book said "the doctor breaks it" but it's actually River that breaks her own wrist 4. they had no explaination as to why the statue of liberty was at the "farm" other than it looks cool. 5. totally called the "nice" death and that Moffat would chicken out of a real one 6. no... just no... if a paradox happened and erased time there would not be one angel hunting only Rory... not to mention the Doctor said it was weak and if we look back to the other damaged angel in the episode it was incapable of causing time travel...

Spoiler Heavy I kind of wanted a scene where the Doctor goes to Rory's Dad and explains what happened. (Not other family since they don't know about the Doctor). And for Rory's Dad to thank the Doctor for giving them a great experience and each other. I mean, is nobody going to care that they've disappeared? And why can't the Doctor meet them a few years later in a different location? It's not like they'd stay in NYC the rest of their lives. I did like how Rory just exclaims, "When don't I!" when Amy questions whether he'd come back to life. Anyway, I'm curious as to how Oswin is going to come into the series as we've seen her die already. But I doubt they'd do that since they've done it already with River. But also, they won't have the Dalek Oswin be a relative since they've done that with Gwen (Torchwood) before too. Thoughts?

Aww, I would've loved a dalek companion :[ Although the TARDIS would have to support wheelchair access more efficiently. I would have loved a little story arc where they had to restore her humanity. Something like crossing her timeline to acquire a DNA sample without causing complications in one episode and another about stealing cloning technology from the sontarans/new aliens depending on budget and dumping her mind into the new body.

(I know cybermen don't as much but if I remember the old series had them convert other species too)

Yeah fair enough, though doesn't Doctor Who have a habit of setting up characters only for them to be killed by the monster in the intro? 2. Wait what? When was this stated? 4. Yeah the Statue of Liberty was wasted. I thought I heard them mention something about angels being able to turn any statue into another angel, but it should've been more than that one line. 5. Not sure what the problem with this is. 6. TIMEY-WIMEY. Also, that last angel wasn't physically damaged, so I'm not sure what the comparison is. Overall great episode, and I'm not ashamed to say that I got a little teary-eyed. Can't wait to see the new companion! I'll be interested to see if they try and make her the same character or if they just decided to cast her as the new companion after doing such a great job in Asylum of the Daleks. While I'm posting here, just want to say this: After the Doctor became "too loud" I was hoping the show would become much more cerebral and methodical, with the Doctor purposefully trying to stay in the background while still saving the world. I understand that would've been a lot of work to keep the writing and tone really good, but the way it is now seems to render that particular plot point meaningless.

So, the Rolls Royce plaque the Doctor uses as a mirror used to be on one of these: http://www.flickr.com/photos/londoncamera/4019871535/ So it is just a reference to an actual blue police phone box. When Amy's afterword told the Doctor to go back to young Amelia I was a little thrown. Turns out that at the end of 'The Eleventh Hour' Amy is dreaming of the night he did this. It's a very short scene but Amelia hears the Tardis and looks up, then Amy wakes. Seems that these 'circular timeline' events are getting pretty common. Wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey.

It's a very short scene but Amelia hears the Tardis and looks up, then Amy wakes. Seems that these 'circular timeline' events are getting pretty common. Wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey. Actually, according to a ton of people on reddit, it is from the model of plane that was flown by Danny Boy. It was a real plaque that was on the engines during shipment back in the day.

Hey Rabid, is that canon? cause didn't Amy say in Asylum of the Daleks that she couldn't have any more children due to experiments on Demon's Run?

Did you really listen? They adopted. Also, yes it is cannon because they wrote and storyboarded it but never shot it.

So, how do you people think the next companion is going to do? I personally have high hopes for her. No, I don't want to spoil a thing to those not interested in spoilers, so I won't tell you her name if you don't know it already. Just tell your opinions, if you know who I'm talking about.

I've found that the love for the previous characters can sometimes blind judgement for the new characters until we actually see them on screen, after which the result is often that they're pretty awesome. So that's what I'm thinking will happen here.

Very true! It was similar to all the hate aimed at Matt Smith or Martha Jones when they came. Matt was not liked because he wasn't Tennant, and Martha wasn't like because she wasn't rose. I cried when Doctor regenerated to be honest... From Christopher to David, I mean. He was my favourite Doctor then and he'll always be, even if he is accompanied with the Eleventh Doctor later, since he's the second best I've seen. Nothing wrong with Tennant, though, I just didn't like his incarnation of the Doctor as much as the others, while the actor is brilliant.

Speaking of which, I had an awesome moment tonight. My mom used to call me and my brothers nerds for watching Doctor Who. I started to get her into it, and then one day she wanted to start at the beginning and watch it all. Tonight I had to hug and console her over the regeneration of David Tennant into Matt Smith.

Yeah, I can't wait, I feel jealous of those of you that are in U.K and USA, because you get to see dr who earlier than us in n.z. Don't u find it weird that the actor that is going to play the new companion was in Asylum of The Daleks and was a totally unrelated character? But the series is going well I think.

For the first half of the season I was able to live stream from BBC1 and so we had Doctor Who parties. I don't live in Europe, so I'm pretty sure the stream is available worldwide. I'll go look up the link to give to you. EDIT : This page (http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/doctor-who-livestream) is the one to bookmark. When the season is going, it'll have a link to a justin.tv channel that streams live. That's how we watched Who six hours before it premiered here. Might be on at a weird time for you, but that's where to watch it live anyway.

I kinda like the Tardis with lots of doodads and whatsits. It fit with Matt's Doctor. Hopefully there's still some of that going on. Oh, and a pool.

If I have never watched Doctor Who before, and I want to start, where do I start watching?

If I have never watched Doctor Who before, and I want to start, where do I start watching? A television is usually a good place to start... but in all seriousness, anything from 'new who' being from Doctor 9 (Christopher Eccleston) to Doctor 11 (Matt Smith - avoid watching his 2nd christmas special) will get you caught up on the basic backstory. For the full experience you would need to hunt down the really old episodes from the days of black and white tv and watch from there, but its not easy to get those anymore.

Series 5 of the New series is a good start, you get the clean slate of a new incarnation of the Doctor, a new companion and a new production team. You could also start at the first series of the new run if you have more time to spare for catching up. Classic Who can easily be skipped over, it's only really worth going that far back if you become a serious enthusiast.

I called it! The new assistant is the girl who was the Dalek!!! Just announced on the Graham Norton show Yeah, not that surprising, I want to see how her character's story goes. Will the Doctor figure out who she is? Will he do some timey wimey stuff to try and save her? But most importantly; Will she be a good companion for the Doctor?

http://static.bbc.co.uk/programmeimages/608xn/images/p012mpp4.jpg Can the Doctor escape from this one? Earlier this year we asked who you would like to see the Doctor meet in a future adventure. We were delighted by the huge number of responses and the enormous breadth of your suggestions. The most popular ?nominees? ranged from Florence Nightingale (http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/nightingale_florence.shtml) to Nikola Tesla (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19503846) with writers, scientists and soldiers all having their champions. We were forced to discount characters who were fictional, so Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson had to be left in Baker Street and similarly, people we?ve already seen the Doctor encounter were eliminated, which meant figures like Shakespeare were barred. In the end, Doctor Who?s Executive Producer Caro Skinner sifted through the most popular suggestions and picked the person from history whom the Time Lord would meet in our seasonal short story? It's the master escapologist, Harry Houdini! And so in the 2012 Adventure Calendar?s festive tale the Doctor will encounter Houdini? The short story was written by Joseph Lidster and is called Doctor Who: Houdini and The Space Cuckoos. It's available to download and read, exclusively from this site, starting tomorrow! http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/tv/isite-downloads/doctorwho/masks_and_makes/stories/christmas-2012/Houdini-and-The-Space-Cuckoos-Part-One.pdf http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/tv/isite-downloads/doctorwho/masks_and_makes/stories/christmas-2012/HTSC/Houdini-and-The-Space-Cuckoos-Part-Two.pdf http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/tv/isite-downloads/doctorwho/masks_and_makes/stories/christmas-2012/Houdini-and-The-Space-Cuckoos-Part-Three.pdf http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/tv/isite-downloads/doctorwho/masks_and_makes/stories/christmas-2012/HTSC4/Houdini-and-The-Space-Cuckoos-Part-Four.pdf

I've got to say what an excellent episode this was! Sublime reinterpretation of the Dr Who series, topped off with another reworking of the original score with that oh so memorable Moog feeling. Loved it.

So I've been watching Doctor Who for the past three days. I started on season 1 (2005) and I just started season 3. The Doctor is jelly of my hair. That's right, I am ginger. ;D Anywho, here's the link to the site I've been using to watch.

http://static.bbc.co.uk/programmeimages/608xn/images/p00tm1qn.jpg We can confirm that Doctor Who returns to BBC One during the Easter weekend on Saturday, 30 March, 2013. The Doctor is back in a fantastic adventure written by the show’s lead writer and executive producer, Steven Moffat. The episode - the first in a run of 8 - is directed by Colm McCarthy whose previous credits include Hustle, Spooks and Endeavour. Later adventures in the run include episodes written by Mark Gatiss (Victory of the Daleks (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00s56d2), Night Terrors (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b014983t)) and Neil Gaiman (http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/articles/Confirmed-for-2013-Cybermen-and-Stellar-Cast). Steven Moffat has promised us that in terms of Doctor Who, 2013 will be a ‘tremendous’ year and we’ll be bringing you more about the forthcoming adventures soon. But if you can’t wait for the TARDIS to return on 30 March, you can take a brief look now at what’s in store for the Doctor, Clara and some familiar friends… and foes!

I know this is a little early and a tad bit off topic, but it's about Doctor Who. Me and some friends are going to make our own episode with me as The Doctor. It'll be a while until we finish it because I only came up with the idea a few days ago, but with my friends, we will do it and it will be great. We're going to make a new TARDIS interior, new sonic screwdriver, new companion, and of course a new Doctor (with new catch phrases). ;D We already have the basics of the story down and we have locations for filming and for where to build the TARDIS interior (inside a silo of all places xD). Me and one of my friends are too much of perfectionists to let this episode suck, so don't expect it to be some lame clip thrown together by children. I want to share so much about this, but I don't want to spoil anything. EDIT: I even have the sonic mechanics mainly done. I took a battery, small piece of wire, a button ripped out of a mini handheld radio, and an LED to make a working little circuit. I'm still trying to figure out the sound. I have a small speaker from some headphones that works with a little audio player from one of those Hallmark greeting cards. I can't change the sound on the microchip, but I might be able to use a recordable greeting card. If I use a greeting card chip, it'll be too big to make the screwdriver the size I'd like. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to any.

If anyone cares, I saw Steven Moffat wandering around St James's Park sometime last year. I also bumped into Boris Johnson the same day but I don't think he has as much to do with Doctor Who. As you were.

New... news! http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/articles/Doctor-Who-to-Return-with-The-Bells-of-St-John-First-Official-Picture In a nutshell: The next episode's name has been revealed to be"The Bells of St. John" and the episode itself comes out 30th of March (this month, by the way) and is told to contain a never-before-seen alien-race "Spoonheads" as well as "something sinister lurking in the Wi-Fi." As for the rest of the new series, we'll be seeing new alien races and some old ones, including a cyberman redesign as well as a new design for my personal 3rd favourite Doctor Who villains, the Ice Warriors (in a ssssssssubmarine). It has also been confirmed (as if it wasn't clear enough already) that for the show's fiftieth anniversary, the series finale will answer the question that is in the title of the entire program itself. Also, there's a new, sweet looking wallpaper with four of the new series' villains shown in it. Check it out! It's awesome! Now, this is my personal reaction and it's my own opinion: I don't think the Doctor's name should be revealed in the series-finale. The question itself is fun to see pop up every now and then (like in the end of Empty Child) and if they decided to reveal it, it would take the mystery and constant secrecy out of the character of the Doctor and possibly the entire show itself. As for the rest of the news, I CAN'T WAIT for the new episodes and as I always has been hoping, the writers seem to have grown a few pairs and finally take the show to some interesting directions. All in all, I am hyped, but a bit concerned. Edit: There's also this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZGFVP1VXJ0&list=PLvMGq_h9khwUg6uRlzZM_VSsBo0L38FFx&index=2 Not long but it's something.

Brand new! http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/galleries/p016fx8z New screenshots on four new episodes have been released. As we already knew, the first episode is Bells of Saint John by Steven Moffat. Hopefully it will be as brilliant as it looks. It will feature new aliens, known as "Spoonheads" as well as "something sinister in WiFi." The second episode "Rings of Akhaten" will take place on an alien planet and looks, surprisingly enough brilliant and a bit scary too, in my opinion. The third episode and the episode I have been looking forward to the most, titled "Cold War" will feature the return of Ice Warriors, in a Russian ssssssssubmarine! And the latest episode (4th) to be revealed is apparently a horror, titled simply "Hide." Don't know about you but I think it looks awesome and... I am afraid. Check out the awesome screenshots!

DOCTOR WHO ANNOUNCES ALL-STAR CAST FOR 50th ANNIVERSARY David Tennant and Billie Piper to return for blockbuster celebrations with John Hurt also confirmed. The BBC has today revealed some of the all-star cast that will mark the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. David Tennant and Billie Piper will join current Doctor and companion, Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman, while John Hurt (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Alien, Harry Potter) will also co-star. Last seen as the Doctor on January 1st 2010, this will be the first time Tennant has reprised his role as the Tenth Doctor. During his reign as the Time Lord, Tennant appeared in three series as well as several specials. He was first revealed as the Doctor in the 2005 series finale, ‘The Parting of the Ways’. Meanwhile Billie Piper, who played companion Rose Tyler for two series following the reboot in 2005, will appear in the show for the first time since featuring in Tennant’s last episode, ‘The End of Time’ in 2010. Also confirmed to join the cast is John Hurt who will also co-star in the 3D anniversary special that will form part of blockbuster celebrations, set to take over the BBC. Produced by BBC Cymru Wales for BBC One, the 50th anniversary will be written by Steven Moffat and Directed by Nick Hurran. Filming for the 50th anniversary starts this week. Meanwhile a brand new series starts on BBC ONE today (30 March) at 6:15pm for a run of eight epic episodes, which officially introduces the Doctor’s newest companion, Clara Oswald, played by Jenna-Louise Coleman. Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/articles/DOCTOR-WHO-ANNOUNCES-ALL-STAR-CAST-FOR-50th-ANNIVERSARY Looks interesting... EDIT: Just saw "Bells of St. John," and I think it's a great episode! Not the best or anything like that, but I really liked it two bits. Best of the series 7 so far? There was "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship," so I can't clarify that, but it was a welcome return by the Doctor and great introduction to the new companion. See it when you can!

Anyone else notice the author of the book that Clara grabs off the kid 4 minutes and 32 seconds in? Amelia Williams... yay for references. I havn't actually got any further in the episode yet... so hopefully this isn't thrown in the audience's face making this post useless =p

sell merch sell more merch I really like the new Doctor Who and I kind of have to disagree with you there. Actually, there seems to be LESS Doctor Who stuff available at the moment - they're abandoning the 5-inch figure range and releasing pointless stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with the series. 'Trans-Temporal Sonic Screwdriver' and 'Anti-Dalek Spacey-Timey-Wimey Gun (or whatever it's called)' spring to mind.

Aside from flashbacks these malevolent shape-shifters have only appeared once before, threatening Earth in the Fourth Doctor adventure, Terror of the Zygons. Despite the fact that their solitary outing was over thirty years ago they remain a popular old enemy and in the 2010 episode, The Pandorica Opens (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00stv7m), they were amongst the massed aliens said to be gathering above Stonehenge. Later, in The Power of Three (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01n2tmc), we learnt that Zygons had one of their ships under the Savoy Hotel in 1890 and apparently replaced half the staff with imposters! But this time they really are back? We?ve already confirmed that in the anniversary special (http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/articles/DOCTOR-WHO-ANNOUNCES-ALL-STAR-CAST-FOR-50th-ANNIVERSARY) Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman will be joined by the returning David Tennant and Billie Piper. Screen legend John Hurt is also in the cast and earlier today we revealed that Joanna Page (Gavin & Stacey, The Syndicate) would also be appearing in this eagerly anticipated adventure. We?ll be bringing you more news soon! http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/articles/The-Zygons-Return-for-the-50th-Anniversary-Special

I never really loved Zygons... Well, I only saw the story "Terror of the Zygons" last year, so there's that, but I am surprised on how suddenly they have started remaking old monsters. I mean, the Great Intelligence, the Ice Warriors and now the Zygons? I'm not complaining or anything, but I am pretty sure that 50th anniversary special is going to be about more than just a simple Zygon-invasion. Well, we'll just have to wait and see... PS: Why are people not allowed to have discussions about opinions on threads anymore? I even asked to get a reason for why my posts were deleted, but no message came to me.

I don't think that the Zygons are the main bad guys. I think they might have something to do with Ten and Rose. Maybe we start the episode mid-way through their adventure and the Zygons sort of get pushed into the background later on.

Lol if Moffat just screws everyone over by having the zygons appear as ten and rose for a couple of minutes and then that's it.

Oohoo, yes. That was awesome. Just a couple o' things, though: How come Clara went home at the end? Because she hadn't decided if she wanted to come. Like Martha, it was a one-journey thing for now. And if the planet god went boom, then surely all the asteroids will just float off into spaaaaaaaaaace? Maybe it condensed into a black hole. If the earth were able to condense to a black hole it would be the size of a marble but the moons orbit would be unchanged. Doctor who, saving seven planets by turning off the sun; GENIUS. Yeah, that's the real problem. Not the gravity, the heat and light issue. No idea how that gets fixed.

Wasn't a huge fan of the CG on the Ice Warrior considering how good DW's make-up department is (looking mainly at the sylurians). Good to see a model being used for the sub. The ending was kind of a let down in comparison to the rest of the, otherwise, excellent episode. Thoughts?

2013-04-13 18:56:00 Author: Jedi_1993 Posts: 1518

I didn't think Skaldak getting out of his armour was necessary - Ice Warriors are incredibly strong, he didn't need to get out to escape the chains. Apart from that, the rest of the episode was amazing.

Ooooh doctor who was good tonight; surprisingly I also liked how the entire episode was symbollic of the cold war, right up until that 'button pushing' scene. Much love for Gatiss <3 <3 Next week looks pretty scary though >.>

I agree with falmingemu. It was without a doubt the best episode since... I don't know, Girl Who Waited? The only things that really took me out of it a bit were the unnecessary CGI and, as flamingemu mentioned, the button-pushing scene. Also, two things: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOg5VxrRTi0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-SN09lw3yU

Oh my god... Hungry like the WOLF. BAD WOLF. That's why rose is coming back, because the dalek clara went on to become the evil dalek overlord at the game station (satellite 9) and so when Rose scattered the particles across the world multiple claras appeared; that's why there's all the references to the wolf and Rose.

Oh my god... Hungry like the WOLF. BAD WOLF. That's... actually an interesting point. I was wondering about the use of the song in the episode. Alluding to Rose makes sense. But linking the Satellite 9 incident to Clara is maybe a step too far. Mainly because it would be a pretty weak plot point. Still, nice idea with the song!

Oh my god... Hungry like the WOLF. BAD WOLF. Clara is played by Jenna-louise Coleman Jenna-louise Coleman is in a relationship with Richard Madden Richard Madden plays Robb Stark in Game of Thrones The sigil of House Stark is a DireWOLF They also dropped The words of House Stark "Winter is Coming" into the last christmas special a few times. Referencing her boyfriend being in another show makes no sense but I really don't want Rose to e the most important thing in the plot again.

Bet we don't get to hear it. I think it would completely ruin the whole concept of the character if he was actually given a 'name' I should post in this thread more often has anyone heard the claims about John Hurt's character in the 50th anniversary episode? An incarnation of the Doctor, either an aged version of the 8th or one between the 8th and 9th that would mean Ecclestone/Tennat/Smith get pushed up from 9, 10 & 11 to 10, 11 & 12. After these rumors started, this (http://i1142.photobucket.com/albums/n607/Super001Dude/Doctor%20Who%20Series%207%205/DrWho%2050th%20Anniversary%20Special/uktv-doctor-who-50th-anniversary-filming-5_zpsbe2124b4.jpg) picture appeared which shows Hurt in a jacket pretty much identical to the 9th Doctor's.

No. He is not given a name, not one we would hear anyway. I am 99% sure and unless you are Judge Dredd, that should be enough. Steven Moffat has stated himself that the character's name will not be revealed. Sorry if I spoiled it for you, but as so many people appear to be worried, I'm just bringing it out there. For another way of seeing it, let's see the list of episodes that have done this before: -Doctor's Wife had nothing to do with the Doctor's wife. -Doctor's Daughter didn't really talk about the Doctor's real daughter. Just a genetically generated plothole. -The Next Doctor had nothing to do with the next Doctor. It will be done again in here. It's not bad, I think. I mean, the Doctor's Wife was a great episode and the name was merely a metaphor for the TARDIS. Besides, when was it ever stated that the Doctor's name will be revealed here? Never straight. It's been stated that the Doctor's secret will be revealed and the episode's name is The Name of the Doctor. It's a tease by Moffat. Surely he knows what he's doing. With the technical aspects on the side, I am looking forward to tomorrow's episode, Hide, and any possible ghost time that may come along with it. Neil Cross really knows what the show is about, as he showed in the Rings of Akhaten. However, the episode I'm looking forward to the most is Nightmare in Silver. Gaiman surely knows how to write anything in general and I believe that if someone can make the cybermen a real threat again, it's Gaiman. However the poster for Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS looks the most interesting and it's definitely a source of inspiration for me.

"Oh... Hello you... Romeo you..." Best line of the series this far. As for the episode itself, I thought it was awesome. It wasn't really scary looking back to it, but the more you think about it the more you love it. I very much loved the turn of events towards the end. Better than Cold War? Better than Rings of Akhaten? I can't answer that, they have all been great.

That was a decent episode, I think. There were a lot of jarringly obvious continuity errors which was a little distracting, but meh. Interesting that the Eye of Harmony got a mention as... It's rumored to appear in JttCotT

I watched the episode "Hide" another time... And my God... It was absolutely fantastic! I wasn't happy the first time, because it really wasn't scary, apart from the beginning. This is the kind of an episode that needs to be rewatched to be enjoyed to the fullest. That being said, it is the best story, even better than Cold War or Rings of Akhaten. However it should have been longer. If the show had a 60-minute-run-time it would be a near perfect episode, but it cries out for more time to create horror, more character development and the beginning is a bit sloppy in my opinion. 8,5/10, in my opinion.

So how did we get from pocket universe will totally kill the Tardis srsly dead in seconds to going for joyrides in it did I miss some technobabble? It wasn't in the pocket universe for long and it recharged in the usual universe, because time flows normally there. At least that was my understanding. So looking forward to the next episode. The Tardis is such a big part of the show.

I think, at least the time when the Doctor escaped from that universe, the tardis travelled through the portal opened by the psychic rather than the time vortex...or something. It wasn't made clear.

No, the REAL question is what's written in this book. http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/944x531_b/p0182l9j.jpg It's interesting that Moffat is revisiting the time war, which was Davies's thing. Kind of strengthens the theories about the 50th anniversary story, and I guess it does slightly increase the probability of Clara having something to do with Rose and the Bad Wolf. But who knows

That's a rather litereal application of the reset button. Agreed, I thought that 'thing' was going to be erased by putting it in that other 'glowing thing' but that wasn't the case. Lots of cool Time-Lord tech on display in this episode. That makes it one of my favourites. I love the ideas for that kind of stuff!

I quite liked today's episode. However, there is something rather curious... When you go to the Doctor's BBC site and check the character details on Clara Oswald, there is no information about her "First appearance." This seems to me like they're covering it for a reason, possibly because we have seen her on many other occasions before. Anyway, cool.

So... I guess we know how the cracks occurred in the universe now... either that, or they didn't expect anyone to notice that the one at the end was the same as Amy's wall... only rotated at bit... =p It was the same crack. The cracks were created when the Tardis exploded. In this episode, the time stream was in some sort of flux allowing past and future events to coincide with one another. Because of this, the crack reappeared. We still don't know what caused the Tardis to explode (and make the cracks) in the first place. To be honest I'd rather know that than the Doctor's name.

Because of this, the crack reappeared. It wasn't the same crack. The Series 5 crack was a very distinct shape and was always identical, this one was completely different. It was caused by a different explosion. In Series 5, the cracks were caused by the explosion of the TARDIS that destroyed the universe. Those cracks were completely erased by the "Big Bang 2" because the explosion no longer happened. My understanding of JttCotT was that the TARDIS's engines began to explode, but the TARDIS managed to freeze time around them somehow. The explosion had gone far enough to open at least one crack in the console room, but the explosion was "paused" so didn't instantly destroy the universe. That's what it seemed like to me, anyway. We still don't know what caused the Tardis to explode (and make the cracks) in the first place. To be honest I'd rather know that than the Doctor's name. I think the Silence/Silents caused the TARDIS to explode in order to fulfil the "silence will/must fall" thing. Maybe they just wanted to kill the Doctor to prevent him getting to Trenzalore, or maybe they knew the explosion would destroy the universe and thought that that would be better than whatever would happen if "the question" was answered.

The explosion had gone far enough to open at least one crack in the console room, but the explosion was "paused" so didn't instantly destroy the universe. That's what it seemed like to me, anyway. I think the Silence/Silents caused the TARDIS to explode in order to fulfil the "silence will/must fall" thing. Maybe they just wanted to kill the Doctor to prevent him getting to Trenzalore, or maybe they knew the explosion would destroy the universe and thought that that would be better than whatever would happen if "the question" was answered. Good point about the crack, though I still don't think we've been told what happened to the Tardis when it exploded in series 5.

Good point about the crack, though I still don't think we've been told what happened to the Tardis when it exploded in series 5. Yeah, I don't think it's ever actually been explained. And knowing Moffat, it may never be explained. So until it is, I'm going with my silence theory

When I'm thinking about good, solid Doctor Who episodes, I'm thinking of Mark Gatiss. I don't think he has written one single bad story like... Ever. Also, it looks like all episodes written by him for this show involve aliens in the past, well, apart from Night Terrors. I mean really! Unquiet Dead with the gelth in Victorian London, Idiot's Lantern with the Wire in... London sometime about the middle of 1900's, Victory of the Daleks with Daleks in WWII-London, Cold War during the Cold War with the Ice Warrior and now the Crimson Horror with... Well, not actually an alien, but alien to that certain timeline. Oh, and Strax is an alien! So yes, apart from Night Terrors, everything Gatiss has done for this show ever is aliens in the past. It's not a bad concept, but it's funny that he has almost never done anything else.

Gah! I'm late. Well, I loved the Crimson Horror and I can't wait for Nightmare In Silver.

2013-05-11 08:36:00 Author: Protoraptor Posts: 960

I think that "Nightmare in Silver" was, even with all its flaws absolutely fantastic and easily the best Cyberman-story since... Well, Earthshock which is among my favourite stories ever. The Cybermen are my favourite villains and this episode really does them justice. However there were a few aspects I felt were... Undercooked. Further proves my point that the show's run-time should be increased by 15 more minutes. For me, however, it is among the best stories this series. Here's my list, in fact: 1) Cold War 2) Rings of Akhaten 3) Nightmare in Silver 4) Dinosaurs on a Spaceship 5) Hide 6) Power of the Three 7) Crimson Horror 8) Angels Take Manhattan 9) Bells of Saint John 10) Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS 11) Asylum of the Daleks 12) The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe 13) Snowmen 14) Town Called Mercy So that's my list of personal preference. I really hope that Moffat pulls the finale off with stars, but I doubt that, even though I don't want to. Well, the time will tell.

Taken from DoctorWhoTV: 'As some of our readers may be aware, complete plot details on the Series 7 finale of Doctor Who have been revealed. DVDs have been mistakenly sent out early and right now it is possible to find out exactly what happens. While this will be great news for spoiler-hounds desperate for every last detail, Doctor Who TV believes that these moments are best enjoyed as intended on air. In light of this, and the fact spoilers are spreading like wildfire, we have decided to temporarily close comments.' Well, that stops me from googling 'Doctor Who' anytime soon.

Aye. So if there's anyone with spoiler-knowledge here, wait until the episode is over, if you could! Now, I'll stop using internet until the end of the week.

Watch out for spoilers If it is a blu-ray why does it need more than one disc? Anyway, the rumours on IMDB suggest that this "leak" was an intentional lie by Moffat to create hype. I'm inclined to agree as curiosity led me to search for any plot details, just to see if the rumours were true, and thankfully I haven't found anything outside a couple of lines (the kind of vague thing you would find in a tv guide to advertise it). So don't be too worried about spoilers... there are not many... if any actually going about. Of course it's possible that those with the content are just nice people too =p

Aye. Thanks to the people who have seen it, if it wasn't a lie. I haven't seen anything. Still a few days to go, but I haven't seen anything yet and I hope it days that way. I am hyped for this episode! Moffat's last few episodes... Not a big fan, well, Bells was good but the earlier stuff since Good Man Goes to War hasn't really been very good. However this looks like something Moffat has been looking forward to himself since Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead (still one of the greatest stories ever) and if it's even half as good as that two-parter, it'll still be great.

Matt Smith has confirmed that he will continue to play the Eleventh Doctor in Series 8. In an interview from Saturday’s edition of The Sun’s TV Magazine, Smith says: “I’m on a break for a couple of months while I’m in Detroit making How To Catch A Monster.” “We come back and shoot the Christmas special over the summer, then we go on to the next series, which will either start filming at the end of this year or at the start of 2014.” So there you have it, straight from the horse’s mouth! Interestingly, back in March The Sun claimed he was leaving at Christmas .

If he was regenerating this year spoilers would be hard to avoid because the news would be out there everywhere well before his last episode airs. There's space for a surprise regeneration next year if they do it at the end of a normal 13 episode run that starts at Easter because that'll get through all it's episodes before we get set reports of a new actor.

Well, I just hope that the next series would start at spring, but apparently, based on what you've written, I suspect it won't. The finale was without a doubt one of the best episodes of not only this season, but of the entire renewed Doctor Who altogether.

An interesting episode. Even if most of the plot hadn't been leaked weeks ago it was still a little predictable. But I liked it anyway. I wonder if we'll see the Doctor and Clara escape from the time stream thing in the 50th, or if it'll remain as another Moffat mystery. Did anyone else notice that the Asylum version of Clara was standing behind the 10th doctor? That was obviously before she went off in the spaceship so why didn't she realise the 11th was the same person? Or did she? Who knows?

Pretty long post with lots of theories and spoilers etc. So, that prophecy: On the fields of Trenzalore, at the fall of the Eleventh (A literal fall from space to the planet), when no creature can speak falsely or fail to answer (Not sure about this bit), a question that must never be answered will be asked: the first question, hidden in plain sight. (Great Intelligence asked it, Doctor Who?) And then: Silence will fall when the question is asked. Silence must fall (Better Translation). - So... is this silence the stars going out before Clara intervened? The Silence is a religious order that regard themselves as 'Sentinels of History'. Sentinel meaning Guardian and the like. Could they have been trying to kill the Doctor prematurely to prevent this? (As opposed to 'falling' themselves) Other things: River wouldn't have been buried, she's in the Library. We still don't know how River learns the Doctor's name, or how she got that Sonic Screwdriver. (^Related?) Does Clara remember the Doctor's name now? Clara is linked to the TARDIS, River is linked to Clara. How can the 'echo' of River be there if Clara is dead (And the TARDIS is shut down)? Spoilers. Who blew up the TARDIS in Pandorica Opens? Great Intelligence maybe? Though we didn't see anywhere that Clara would've 'helped' there. Who was the person who gave Clara the TARDIS phone number? I thought it was River but she didn't recognize her. And the Doctor's name was revealed! To be a promise. A promise that 'that' person broke. Finally, John Hurt. A brilliant actor. But what is his 'Doctor'. He's credited and labeled as 'The Doctor' yet we're told he broke 'the promise'. Could be: Doctor before he was the Doctor ^Personally what I think as the 50th anniversary could delve into his origins more. Valeyard - The G. Intelligence mentioned him (Had to google that one, haven't seen the classic who episodes, sorry) Apparently this is somewhere between The Doctor's 12th and 13th regen and is a pretty bad apple who has come up in the Doctor's past. ^Unlikely as Hurt has a beard, Valeyard doesn't from what I've found. A secret 'Time War' Doctor between 8 and 9; making Eccelston 10, Tennant 11 and Smith 12. I don't think those 3 Doctor's ever said which incarnation they were. Cyberplanner said he'd had 10 rejigs but there was a mental block so there could be another. ^Not a fan of this theory as it messes up the numbers. Edit: Scratch that last one, 10 says he is apparently. Edit: Read a new theory that Hurt is an older 8. 8 was in the Time War and we never saw him regen into 9. Could this older 8 have killed all the timelords in the name of peace and sanity but not in the name of the Doctor? ^New fave theory. Because it fits and Hurt is kinda dressed like 8. And why he is named in the Time War book (Center of the TARDIS) but not as The Doctor. Hurt is confirmed to be in the 50th anniversary too. Come on November!

Clara was explained. And so was the Doctor's secret! You see, it's not his name that's the secret, it's John Hurt's incarnation of the Time Lord (and if you paid attention, you know it's not "the Doctor.")

And why he is named in the Time War book (Center of the TARDIS) but not as The Doctor. There have been rumours floating around that Paul McGann has been shooting some kind of mini episode that includes his regeneration. Given that Eccleston chose not to return for the 50th, it would make more sense that, if 8's regeneration is going to be shown, he will regenerate into Hurt's character. This would still explain the costume - he kept 8's clothes but started wearing a leather jacket, and by the time he became 9 he had ditched the fancy dress stuff but kept the jacket. That goes against the Doctor's usual "new body, new personality, new clothes" style, but would be a good idea in terms of production to make it clear to the viewers that Hurt is between 8 and 9. We never saw 8's regeneration because RTD thought it would be confusing for new viewers, like 7's appearance in the TV movie was. Using this unseen regeneration to insert a new incarnation into the mix would be a great idea on Moffat's part, and definitely something I can see him doing.

Good point. I'll discuss it with my friends before we start filming. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas about what the story of the episode could be. I can't think of anything good. As much as we would like to do a story including a Dalek or a Weeping Angel, we don't want to do something obviously predictable. Any suggestions would be great. c;

If you can afford a small tricycle, some large cardboard boxes, a plunger and a whisk you could probably put together a Dalek. Only enough for some face paint? Some humanoid creature I suppose. None? Better get creative with the plot I guess. Maybe something microscopic like with the gas mask people. ("Are you my mummy?") Probably the best example I can think of and they turned out to be some terrific episodes! But, it will probably be more fun to come up with your own creature/s.

I'd say the accent of the Doctor isn't particularly important. The 8th Doctor was played by an actor from Liverpool who kept his original accent, the 9th Doctor's actor was from the North of England (as pointed out in the episode 'Rose' in series 1 : "If you're an alien how come you sound like you come from the north?" "Lots of planets have a north.") So instead of putting on a fake English accent, just speak with your regular accent and I doubt anyone would mind much! (We don't want any repeats of **** Van Dyke in Mary Poppins..) [also, first post in ages! Hi everybody! I see some fresh faces and some familiar ones. ]

The Doctor does seem to adapt his language to where he is, so why not accent too ^w^ [also yay plasma's back! ^^]
