The Dr Who thread

Someone Else's Problem indeed.

Although I was thinking more Granny Weatherwax's "invisibility" from Terry Pratchett's novels during the program.

I do not think that any of the other Torchwood members would be suitable for this audience.

Yeah, there all too boring, this audience likes interesting people.
[/easy shot]

Still, if Torch wood season2 starts with them going on a wild goose chase in the Himalayas it could be fun.

Still waiting for them to explain the tardis appearing at the end of torchwood, and capn jack getting in - as opposed to jack running after the tardis in cardiff and catching it.

Awesome episodes recently by the way - the really pulled out all the stops for the back ond of the season

Blimey - it must have been fun at the Sunday School you went to

Didn't you see Ms Mulligan in "the Amazing Mrs Pritchard"? The vicar most certainly would not approve
Incidentily does anyone have that as Xvid?

I tried torrenting it but I only could download episode 2 to 5 from demonoid. The first and last episode were missing.

Well I saw the second and the third episode of "The Amazing Mrs Pritchard" tonight. Man that Carey Mulligan is *HOT*.

The story was also quite interesting since it was about an inexperienced outsider getting into power and becoming PM. Something like that might have happened to us in the Netherlands in 2002 with Pim Fortuyn (although he was more conceitedly self assured than Mrs Pritchard was) if it wasn't for Volkert's bullets.

I have never ... in my 37 years in this world ... ever seen a single episode of Dr. Who. All I know is ... the name ...

The TARDIS didn't appear (in the sense that we didn't see it) at the end of Torchwood - we just heard it. And we certainly didn't see Jack getting in.

It must be on one of the channels in the US, surely?

Another great episode - I wonder who the aliens are? I hope the Doctor does 'save' the Master and he doesn't 'die' (again).

Yes, the Sci-Fi Channel.

really enjoyed this one, I love John Simm's Master. Looking forward to next week so much now, but not looking forward at the same time too - its the last one!!!1

Another good one that.

Loved all the little fan references and also the use of the drums tapping away here and there. Also very pleased to see some proper science/engineering going on making the perception filters rather than just waving the sonic at the keys and them being ready.

Good moments for me, but it never hit GREAT. Bonus points for the Gallifrey segment.

This was the (relative) quiet before the (oncoming) storm (and darkness), dealing with most of the exposition relating to the Master's plan and history while positioning the pieces for next weekend's finale. Despite the repeat of a, "Wow, what a lot of them," cliffhanger I expect some proper battles (due to the presence of Jack) with the main story being focused upon Doctor's relationships with both Master and Martha.

Not sure about next week's episode - Martha Jones Freedom Fighter?

Still - it was nice to see Cloudbase in there. And I liked the flashback as well - a Cardinal in full garb and the sight of the Panopticon - bring a tear to a glass eye, that.

I think that Jack will be doing most of the fighting. Martha will just do what she thinks is necessary. Then things will change.

Indeed.
The question is more was there a way out from that room to the surface?
(cant remember myself).
