The Dr Who thread

Another thing, I felt the Master should have aged the Doctor by more years than he did. 100 years isn't very much in Time Lord terms; Hartnell's Doctor was much older than that, yet didn't look as old as Tennant did at the end of this episode.

[Governmentyard]

We can pretty safely assume Tennant was aged more rapidly than the first doctor. That must have some sort of extra business attributable to it, such as Tennant's complexion.

[Harlequin]

Perhaps each regenerated body visibly ages more rapidly due to the accumulation of past lives.

I liked the hopelessness that this episode left you with. More so than the past two series penultimate episodes.

I've come to the conclusion that time agents are much better prepared for this kind of thing than time lords.

Whilst the episode had some minor annoyances, already mentioned in previous posts. (pop music as the 'rift' opened, occassional overdoing it by the master,etc). I really enjoyed the fact that the Dr has been increasingly put in situations that he can't solve straight away.
Previously, its become a series of obstacles, that are despatched fairly rapidly and without too much headscratching.
By the end of the episode my heart was pumping so much that I thought it would burst out of my chest.
The aged Dr would have had more impact had we of not seen a version in "The family of blood" though.
Interesting to see if there is a familiar foe inside those spheres, although how the Master would have made contact with the limitations that the Dr put on the Tardis, would limit possibilities I assume..

What, anywhere in the universe, any time between 18 months ago and 100 trillion years hence? Not too much of a limitation...

I took that to mean either now-ish or 100 trillion years in the future, as the Doctor said it to Martha when she said the Master could go anywhere now he had the TARDIS.

I loved that the Master supplied his own soundtrack for the dramatic bit. Normally we get that sort of thing as the soundtrack but the characters don't get to hear it. I thought it was excellent that the Master wanted music while destroying the human race

Not sure as I haven't rewatched the episode but I was thinking only earth-bound trips and that was probably his only trip. Tardis wasn't exactly parked close by was it?
Next time I'll have to rewatch it on my own without visiting my parents , without my 8 and 10 year old sons and my hard of hearing father asking me questions all the way through.....

[Harlequin]

The Doctor fused the coordinates so that the TARDIS could only travel between its current location (at the end of the universe) and its previous one (contemporary London).

Frak me.

I say again - frak me!

Frak. Me. Ragged.

Thank you, LANsy. I knew that - in my darkest hour - I could count on you

[F-ZeroOne]

I've had a thought about what I think the spheres are, but I'm not saying anything until after next week in case I turn out to be right...
