The Dr Who thread

I rather enjoyed that. Everything bar the last ten minutes seemed a bit tepid, but then it properly turned around, and my eyes were distinctly prickly when the Doctor started telling Martha the truth.

It was nice to see the transition from "just this girl" to someone he actually gives a stuff about.

The thing with the roof? I'm pretty sure that was the Doctor getting 90% of the way there, with just not quite enough residual power left over - which the Face of Boe supplied, rather than "it all being Boe". But it's so wide open to interpretation that it's really what you feel like beleiving. For me, having two concurrent episodes where the Doc's actually just supporting cast (to Shakespeare last ep, to Boe this time) would start to erode my opinion of The Last Time Lord.

And I don't want to do that, so I'm interpreting it that Boe provided the last little shove required to make it work.

That's now two BBC series' who've had initial bulk of "meh" followed by ten minutes of "RAAAHHHH!" (this and the LoM finalÃ©), so I'm hoping that our bit of Sek's Action next week will be more full on.

In the preview-glimpse, I did like the emerging bitterness in the Doctor's voice that the bloody things keep turning up. I do beleive he's starting to get a bit of a persecution complex where the Daleks are concerned. Having your entire species wiped out, and it being apparently for nothing will do that to a feller, I suppose...

Bloody well should be most of the Doc's work.
Its bad enough they need too call him out just too open a sun roof, it will be even worse if they called him out *for the idea* of opening the sun roof

Incidentally, I have too confess the view that Boe could have done it at any time, and waited for the doc purely to give him his last message makes sense. But thats a bit too dark for me :p

Maybe it needed a skilled pair of hands to sort out the wiring. Something Boe conspicuously lacks, and probably not Hame's forte.

Important public service announcement:

Unless you want a twunting huge spoiler staring you in the face, do not under any circumstances look at the cover of the new Radio Times.

Got a link to the cover? A cursory google yields only old Doctor Who RT covers.

Ouch. That's a cunt of a spoiler (I already knew that one but had never seen the image).

Don't click that link unless you want Episode 4 ruined for you (Or you don't care)

Ah yes, now that is a spoiler.

The only bigger spoiler would be if they did a cover of the Chumblie War Fleet just before episode 12 airs.

And we all know what that means, as has been mentioned before on this thread.

Also another point, Boe said he was the last of his kind as well. Coud he have been a Dalek?

I know he has helped the doctor, but it was how he said Doc-tor near his death, that made me wonder.

Aye! Certainly don't think my 4 year old son will be getting much sleep on saturday night!

He might be alright as long as the Doctor doesn't almost die again!
