The Dr Who thread
"even had I suspected then the truly horrifying suffering and amazing loss of life that would be caused by our well-meaning enterprise... I'd have done it anyway. Only more so."

Yeah, this planet is going to be TOASTED when the Cybermen vs Dalek war is over. It's like living in Europe during WWII.Wumpus4x4 wrote:Not *that* is a match that won't be 0-0 after ninety minutes. Probably one best appreciated from some considerable distance though.
Boy: "Have you met monsters before?" The Doctor: "Yes."
Boy: "Are you scared of them?" The Doctor: "No, they are scared of me!"

In one of the old Confidentials he said he would imagine the Brigadier sitting in the House of Lords or something by now. Would be a nice twist to introduce him into the new series in such a role.daniel thomas wrote:So when does the Torchwood show go on the air? I'd hope it would be during Dr Who's off-season. UNIT with a neo-con bent...not bad. Speaking of which, somebody bring back Nicholas Coutrney for an episode next season.

Yeah, I thought that was kinda silly. "We're Torchwood, front line against the alien invaders. Our answer to securing this most vital installation, this bastion against the alien threat? The SA-80. Be careful not to bump it, the magazine release is still a bit iffy."Something else I found quite amusing about last nights episode was the fact that the Torchwood guards were still trying to use conventional guns and ammo against the Cybermen
Sheesh.

It looked like *some* of them were G36s, but there were some SA80s especially with the "honour guard" outside the Tardis on the Doc's arrival. And it's so much easier to take the piss out of the SA80 
That said, they even showed a particle gun shortly after the Doctor left the Tardilac, so where the hell are the Big Honking Space Guns, eh? Eh? Eh?
Though with Cybermen all over the planet, I think it'd take something a bit more sincere than, frankly, any number of guns unless you were willing to go the John Connor route.
*Edit* Kellog, theoretically our torchwood wouldn't know what a Cyberman was, no. UNIT might have, but UNIT doesn't seem to be too busy these days (though it was nice to see the logo briefly with the Slitheen episode (was it the Slitheen one? Or was it the Christmas Invasion?))
