Just remembered the other thing I really loved about this episode that no-one has mentioned (I think)... The bloody great big levers controlling stuff. When it could all have been done with a simple mouse click I'm sure. But no, we get proper levers. Lovely.

I don't think there's much chance for spoilers for the last episode. As far as I know the BBC haven't sent any review copies out and there's no press screening.

This day and age, any mouse-click is likely to be sent via a Microsoft OS, with no guarantees of timely arrival. Anything buggering about with the Walls Of Reality(tm) I'd prefer controlling with honking big levers, myself.

Think of it as a Health and Safety issue...

Well like I said I thought the episode was OK. I thought Yvonne spoilt it for me and I was really surprised by the Daleks. I didnt hear anything in the press about it.. I would place it worse than Impossible Planet/Satan Pit but better than Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel

Anyway here is my theory about rose

In some way because of Bad Wolf - Rose is connected to the Daleks that and the DNA they got from the episode Dalek. They want to build more of the ROSE/Daleks so they put her in a machine called the Genesis Ark. Either that or its Davros in there...

That's been there since early last week.

That was a line Jackie said in the episode we just watched. While they were in the Tardis helping the Doctor be a ghostbuster. The BBC website used it out of context to get the fanboys excited.

I loved it all, but the best thing about the whole episode was the Doctor's 3D specs.

Absolutely ace.

Jack's back baby. Series 3 for the win!

Torchwood snippets:

Jack's going to be a bit darker because he's angry at the Doctor and Rose for leaving him behind when he'd changed himself to be like them, and sacrificed himself to save them.

He's going to be a bit more mysterious because the Torchwood Team isn't going to know where he comes from and he has to keep that secret.

Something from TCI is going to figure in Torchwood because John had to watch the ep to know about it.

The Torchwood base (the Hub) includes a morgue that's cgi'd.

Asked if his arse will make an appearance - John just said that we'd see more of Jack (big hint that his arse will be featured).

We will find out about Jack's missing 2 years.

Even though he's darker than in DW, Jack will still be witty and wisecracking.

Doctor Who snippets:

Captain Jack is in the 3rd series (cos he's just signed the contract) Hurrah!!

He'll start filming once they've finished Torchwood in October, with a break for his stint in Panto in Cardiff. So presumably he won't be in all the eps.

He won't be kissing DT.

The Doctor is not necessarily going to be glad that Jack has been brought back to life on general principles.

Jack may not recognise the Doctor because he doesn't know he's regenerated

Anyone else here seen the Tardisode for this one? Very dark.

Best Tardisode of the series. The rest have been most very weak.

I hate the way they wasted the potential of the whoisdoctorwho website this series. In series 1 it was an excellent place to go for background and odd consipracy stuff. This series it's been nothing but a method to get people to play some very crap flash games.
