Some of us suspected as much anyway.

One of the best episodes of Ross that I've ever seen, IMO.

What drugs was that ex-model woman on?

Actually, what ones *wasn't* she on?

I suspect that she was not on any major depressants.

Because of Regina Spektor.

That clinging on to the tardis stuff looks shit, I know he can do it and all but wouldn't it have been better if he'd died, and Torchwood didn't star him, and he never returned to Who, or maybe did so in a couple of seasons, for an ep or two?

The character really doesn't have the mileage in it, hopefully the dosage overall in Who this series will be restrained enough to focus on quality over quantity. Perhaps this episode shall be called "Curse of the hammy indestructible bumlord"?

Why, I wonder, does the Doctor not seem happy to see him?

Because as far as he knows, Jack's dead and meeting him earlier in his life wouldn't be the best idea?

Oh shit, yeah... time travel.

I always forget.

I can't stand the character either - my sneaking suspicion is that he's RTD's wet dream ..........

...And now there's a huge spoiler in here. Cheers, goatboy.

How is it a spoiler if the season preview tacked onto the end of the last episode showed all but the final clinging on section, thus making it utterly apparent that that was what was going to happen?

If you didn't have advance knowledge of the event I suspect most people just saw Jack taking a dive. It's a bit of a stretch to go from that to the actual spoiler with no advance warning.

The progression seems to be as follows.

Someone posts a spoiler and labels it as such so people can avoid it if they want to.
Someone that has read the spoiler makes reference to it, but tries to talk around it so as to not spoil it for others.
Finally someone decides that it is now safe to talk about openly and spills the beans for all.

It happened when Rose left the show. It happened for the Dalek/human hybrid image. Seems like it's happening again. Time to sign off the thread for a while.

Ah, bugger... <checks listings> no, we're ok, they've got a bit of a clue this week and put in a filler programme ("Just for Laughs"). According the the EPG on Sky that has now been removed from the schedule. So after the news everything's back on time.

I enjoyed that a lot. Classic base under siege stuff by the guy in charge of Torchwood.

I liked the sudden silence as the escape pod jetisons.

Now that's more like it.
