I am, of course, referring to the new series.

Despite Arron's protests during series 1 it is the same Doctor

More to the point, isnt it odd how they all tend too more or less come from our time

Adric.

Speaking of whom: for those who haven't seen it, the original ending of Earthshock.

Adam.

Adam was dropped before taking on Jack (from the 51st century) and Mickey.

That new hybrid seems awfully exposed and defenceless without its armoured shell and zapper.

Yeah. Colour me very unimpressed.

Along with half a bazillion Cybermen, the rest of the Daleks and a few Torchwood staff. So where are they then?

Did anyone think this at the end...

What are you on about? The Cult were hiding in the void with the Time Lord Prison ship. They came out of the void at the end of Army of Ghosts but escaped being dragged back in at the end of the last episode by using an "Emergency Temporal Shift".

So what have the Cybermen and an Army of Daleks got to do with it? Everyone but the Cult is still in the Void and the Cult have only been there once.

No, no, no, no, no. The void ship, carrying the four Cult of Skaro members and the Genesis Ark, came out of the Void dragging the Cybermen and some of the resistance from the other universe in its wake. Everything in this universe that came through the breach was sucked back into the void aside from the Cult of Skaro, which had initiated an emergency temporal shift to 1930 (a few years before their landing on the Empire State Building in the Doctor's past). Do keep up.

EDIT: Alternatively, what HGFB wrote.

And they actually fed that to us in the episode, rather than relying on us to work it out? I must have got lost during the "screaming and zapping" part then

I thought the episode was alright really. It was worth screwing my TV aerial back on for. It was cool seeing an actual Dalek since I've not seen one since one episode in the 80's. I am wondering just how a mutated Dalek is going to be able to scream "exterminate" at people with the same amount of effect though.
