The Dr Who thread

[Kronos]

was a good episode, i think might have made a good 2 parter if they fleshed it out a bit though, but not bad actually yes

i think musics gone a bit doo-lally now tho or is it just me ?

[Wibble]

I did notice that when he came out of the Tardis with the part he needed that there was a scart connector on the end

Yup, spotted the scart lead too.

Well.. he -did- invent Betamax . Scart isn't that farfetched

I think of Gallifreyan's as similar beings to the wizards in LoTR. Human-looking but far greater. Pity about the line being removed about falling off another radio tower in a past life

Yeah, I spotted the parallel. As he was climbing up the mast, I thought "ooh, he'd get a nasty graze if he fell off this"

And yeah, I spotted the SCART lead too. Given I was posting a massively weak-lemon-drink entry before, I didn't really want to compound it by pointing that out then...

McCoy could out sinister a left handed person though.
Thats not too sophisticated a joke for here is it?

Quite dextrous, I thought.

[Snakey]

Lipman was good. But she did get on my tits after a while with her constant little shop of horrors line.

Otherwise, wasn't too impressed to be honest...

Don't mean to sound like a moany old git, but I'd have probably enjoyed this series a lot more if I hadn't seen the last series... It's just nowhere near the same quality - one episode excepted.

Liked the Kylie joke though.

Someone made a funny suggestion earlier in the week on the OG forums. They said it would have been a good joke if the Doctor had fixed the chameleon circuit at the end of the Age of Steel. Then when they land in 1953 it blends into its surroundings and becomes a Police Box. At which point the circuit breaks again

That would have been fantastic

[offyoutoddle]

Really wasn't too keen on that one myself. Lots of hammy acting cockney stereotypes all round, and intrusive music put me off what was however a reasonable story.

Yay! This week's show is my favorite of the year! After the whole Cybermen debacle, I was beginning to lose faith in Dr Who. But this one brought me right back. Now that's how you write a great episode.

Now you see why I don't have a TV. Bad things can only come out of it.

[Viscount Charles]

I'm with Snakey. Whilst it was OK, it's not up to the level of last year. Having re-watched the Cybermen last week, I actually preferred the two-parter to this week; can't quite put my fingeron why, but little details seemed absent (like doing something with the fact that there was a police box where it was meant to be).

Not a great fan of the camera angles used in the episode (i.e always lop sided) but was a great, fun Doctor Who ep that sets us up nicely for next weeks two parter, which seems to include a guest appearance by Doctor Zoidberg.

I've finally completed my collection of the current range of action figures. Woolworths had the Moxx and Cassadra when I was there today

Why is Rose trying to emulate the Fonz in that picture?

Why are there two K-9s?

Why are there two K-9s?

Mark I and Mark III

[HGFB]

Why are there two K-9s?

Two different packs. One came with Rose and K9. The other came with the Doctor and a remote controlled K9
