I'm loving it although I found the third episode to be much better than the Slitheen two parter. A nice subtle moment with SJ and Bea when Sarah saw a possible future for herself. Nice mention of the Sontarans. Great use of psycho nuns.

Bea in her befuddled state seemed to think Luke was one of the "Colonel's friends". Going by the time frame it seems possible that a certain Colonel Lethbridge Stewart might have fought the Sontarans before he took on the Cybermen in the sewers :)

Me too, in part due to the absence of the Slitheen, which are not a classic Who monster much as RTD would like them to be.

To be fair they're apparently very, very popular with the young-uns.

At least we know why the Sontarans got a mention on Monday :)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/news/cul ... 9473.shtml
Monster role for Young Ones star (Series Four spoiler!)

Christopher Ryan, best known for playing super-cool Mike in the classic comedy series The Young Ones, is set for a guest-starring role in an upcoming Series Four adventure.

Ryan will play a Sontaran leader in the story, due to begin filming in the next few weeks.

"I'm absolutely delighted to be appearing in this new Doctor Who," Chris revealed. "The last time I appeared in Doctor Who was in 1986, Colin Baker was the Doctor and I was still a Young One."

The story in question was the Trial Of A Time Lord, where Chris starred as the slug-like Mentor Kiv alongside Trevor Laird, who played Martha's dad in 2007.

If you know your Who lore, the Sontarans will need no introduction. If you're a newer viewer, however, you may not know that the Sontarans are amongst the greatest villains from the classic series of Doctor Who.

A military, warlike species, able to clone vast armies of themselves, the Sontarans are locked into an eternal struggle with their enemies the Rutans.

Nobody knows yet. Two years ago we had a short couple of minute interlude after the regeneration but before the Christmas Invasion.

Last year we had a 90 minute concert of Doctor Who music. God only knows what they have planned for the two Doctors.

In the spirit of RTD's minor obsession with people's "non-standard" sexualities (see Torchwood), when the Doctor meets himself, he decides he quite fancies the look of his other selves and, throwing "the laws of time" away with gay abandon (pardon the pun), has it off with himself.

Philosophers are still debating whether this actually qualifies as gay or is just an elaborate form of masturbation, and whether it could even qualify as being incestuous or not.

Luckily this didn't happen sooner when the Doctor was made human by the Chameleon Arch or it'd be even more confusing, as to whether it also technically qualified as bestiality as well.

This is partly why the Time Lords instituted the "must remain the same gender when regenerating" rule, to avoid the even more brain-rotting concept of the Doctor getting himself pregnant and being his own father and mother simultaneously.

Not that any of this has a patch on the fact that the Master is, in fact, the Doctor's son by his affair with the Master herself, when she eventually regenerates in the body of her own previous wife, Mrs.Saxon. Which pretty much ticks all the boxes of every time paradox imaginable in one go.

You see, that's what you get when you go around messing with the "the laws of time". Deeply confusing impossibly self-fulfilling plot lines that no-one understands.

Never mind. It's for Children in Need. That's not "canon", right? :lol: :wink:


p.s. No, I'm just making this all up. It's not really going to happen. :D
