[peteyt]

Really looking forward to it.

Here's some stuff I've Heard

The Silence isn't a person but a race, one than can live outside of time and space

We will learn about Riversong's past - Interestingly SM (Producer) has asked the question to viewers, how did Riversong remember the doctor when he we deleted from history - she went and gave the book to Amy

[Circadia]

Can't wait i love dr.who, i've also heard that we learn about Riversong's past

[Inseriousity.]

OMG SRSLY O: I dunno if i like it being in two parts but y'know

[Moh]

I can't way! It's one of the only things I actually watch on TV ^_^

It's a shame the first and second episode are grouped, will mean we'll have to wait an extra week for the ending :(

[Gibs960]

How many episodes will be in the series, because for me that's the deciding factor whether it's a good or bad thing being split into two parts.

[iBlueBox]

7 Part One
6 Part Two.

I dont think the end of the series plot will be big, the main plot will be the episode before the split and will continue to part two.

[peteyt]

Yeah apparently there is going to be a "Game Changer" in the middle. It could work, depends really.

[Chris]

The first two episode titles have been revealed.

The Impossible Astronaut
Day of the Moon

Also, dont forget the comic relief short thats on friday. ^_^

[dbgtz]

The comic relief seemed a bit sexual? Rory looking up Amys skirt, id like to be him.

Wondering if Arthur Darvill actually saw up her skirt-cave.

So jelly.

Can't wait! Looks pretty creepy o.O

Oooer a prequel, thats a nice surprise. ^_^
Looks quite creepy, that monster looks like those things from starwars. :L

[Niall!]

It looks like Slenderman..

[dbgtz]

When he said hello he sounded like solid snake.

Anyway I would like to issue a complaint to the BBC as that monster is to his right not behind him and it will grossly mislead children and dim teens and adults. Lol jk.

Anyway preview looked cool, is the episode normal length? Or is it an hour? Either way I can't wait, didn't think the american one would be the first episode tbh and the series just seems to be getting stuck straight in :D

[iBlueBox]

Is it sad that I actually find the alien ( might be a silent ) in a prequel very scary,
first time i seen it i actually screamed,

[Niall!]

As I said before, they must have got some inspiration from Slenderman, tall creepy guy wearing a suit?

Still, if this is the first episode I can't wait. Looks like it's going to be an amazing series.

[Circadia]

That alien is pretty freaky, by the way the girl was saying 'look behind you' i thought something was going to jump out x] Can't wait :)

[Fez]

First story is a two parter, with River Song.

Can't wait.

[dbgtz]

First story is a two parter, with River Song.

Can't wait.

She must be a bit of a regular this series if shes in it in the first episode.

I guess that makes sense considering this series is kind of about her

[Fez]

She must be a bit of a regular this series if shes in it in the first episode.

Nope.

She comes back at the mid-series point, just before the 'break'. Her identity and shizzle is revealed.

[iBlueBox]

She must be a bit of a regular this series if shes in it in the first episode.

I guess that makes sense considering this series is kind of about her

Whole of Series 6 is about, River and finding out who she is,

Also, in The Prequel, Is it just me , or does it feel that The President knows the monsters behind him,

I think it looks more like a classic american rosewell alien more then anything,

[Niall!]

NEW TRAILER

YEAHHHHHH Looks amazing.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48hM83hN-SU&feature=feedu

[Chris]

*Jaw dropped*

Omg that trailer looks EPIC.

[Jordan]

Wow that trailer is amazing, I cannot wait!

[lawrawrrr]

ooo looks like we got some scary monsters back... was getting a bit predictable and soft before imo!! (apart from the angels.. .they were terrifying.)

[iBlueBox]

David Tennants TARDIS is 36 seconds in :D

[Fez]

David Tennants TARDIS is 36 seconds in :D

WHAT IS GOING ON MOFFAT.

[Shar]

*Jaw dropped*

Omg that trailer looks EPIC.

My reaction exactly. Can't wait!!!!!

[Niall!]

I never even noticed the former TARDIS

Jesus christ, is david returning?!? Could he be the silence? Maybe he's pissed off at dying and decided to take it all with him? SO MANY POSSIBILITIES

[peteyt]

Looks amazing

[iBlueBox]

Don't really thing David would return even for one scene in the next series, As its onlys matts second series, it needs to stand alone, The first series was all about introducing The new Doctor and seeing what he'd be like, The second will be, Getting into The New Doctors Character and exploring him more. If David would return, more then likely for the 50th anniversary.

[dbgtz]

Trailer was bloody epic, I can't wait. I'm glad I saw no dalek.

[sophiethenerd]

I have my suspicions about river song.Cannot wait to see what happens

[iBlueBox]

Trailer was bloody epic, I can't wait. I'm glad I saw no dalek.

Daleks aren't in the next series according to moffat, They're having a break,

Though, theres been highly rumours and speculation of them returning for the Christmas Special,

[Chris]

Ooo a Christmas episode with the daleks would be a good one. ^_^

[iBlueBox]

High rumors of Omega will return, If you freeze in the trailer in the part of Davids Face you can see a sort of like face,

Picture: http://www.flickr.com/photos/43707468@N03/5577347266/ - Also the force what took control of The TARDIS could be Omega as he is one of the only superior beings in gallifrey that can control other TARDIS's He's the one who fire produced The TARDIS's he known how to get the Time Lords to travel in time ect

Also This is suppodsley a picture of what The Silents ( The Silence ) look like! http://www.flickr.com/photos/43707468@N03/5576823709/

[Chris]

That all makes sense, especially in the trailer when that voice is discussing timelords with the doc. The Silents look scary. :(

[dbgtz]

In the screenie with Omega, is that rory? Also stexual did you mean if you froze in Davids TARDIS? :L But yeah that does look like Omega. Tbh I just want to see how River links in with all of this, I mean we know she doesn't die and this probably isn't the last time we see her as in the trailer she knows about him and what's happening, I wonder how she meets him for the first time.

I read somewhere the silence was an actual race that lived outside of space and time and a new monster. Although the explosion would make sense if it was Omega who is made off anti matter

[Nuct]

Looks like this series is going to be good.

Although, how many TARDISes do they want?

First (current): http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/9448/tardis1.png
Second (Eccleston's/Tennant's): http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/8430/tardis3.png
Third (perhaps one from the extra floor of Amy's house?): http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/45/tardis2l.png
Fourth (looks a tad like the one from The Lodger): http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/6943/tardis4.png
Not entirely sure about the fourth one, however it also appears to show either two Silents (referring to image of a Silent on the previous page) or two of some other species.

[dbgtz]

The 4th one is probably the thing from the preview.

[Chris]

The 4th one is definitely the one from the lodger, I think it was in another trailer too. :D

[luce]

i used to love it when bille and david where in it.. well basically billie i have the box sets from then but when she left i've just been watching it on and off not religiously like i used to. Although i think Karen is a good assistant and i'm warming to matt so i think i might watch a bit more of this series. I'm looking forward to it :-)!

Amy's Cubard's are blue I think?

On the subject of TARDIS's Can't remember what episode, but an episodes called The Doctors Wife.

If you think of it, The TARDIS is the only thing whats always stayed with The Doctor, he talks to it, strokes it, probably does more, Anyway, Suppdosley An episode is when, The TARDIS lands in a junk yard, and Amy and Rory are trapped, thats why in a trailer there was an ood chasing Amy and Rory in A TARDIs Corridor, Anyway Its been highly Rumoured that The TARDIS's Soul or w.e Goes into a human called a Character called Idris, ( the character name has already been confirmed )

[sophiethenerd]

][/QUOTE]
Or, Idris might have a little name change, to river. Lol. It would certainly clear up a few things. Like why the doctor is fond of her. The doctor is very fond of his tardis.

[iBlueBox]

Another NEW Trailer for BBC America! :D


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVAgyBOe84w

It feels that, ever really since Series 5, especially with Series 6 there trying to grow its popularity in america,

[dbgtz]

america gets it at the same time? what a rip :(

anyway their trailers always suck compared to the british one imo.

[Niall!]

SO EXCITING! I wanna it to happen now.

If this has already been posted then oops but I didn't know

Someone is going to die (A MAIN CHARACTER)

One of the main characters from 'Doctor Who' is set to die in the new series, its creator has revealed.

'Doctor Who' head writer Steven Moffat said in Doctor Who magazine that the character due to leave in the opening show will be either the Timelord (Matt Smith), Amy Pond (Karen Gillan), Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill) or River Song (Alex Kingston).

He commented: "We're not lying, we're not cheating. One of those four people is going to die. The Doctor's darkest hour is coming. Shows like ‘Doctor Who’ should have big colourful, memorable moments that make you go, 'What the hell?' Well, this is one of them."

And while it’s still unclear which of the show's regulars will bow out, here’s what we do know so far about the upcoming series…

Speaking at a launch event at London's Olympia, Moffat revealed that the opening episode of the new season will be the darkest and scariest one yet.

He said: "We've been pretty dark before in 'Doctor Who'. But we're coming in from the dark side just because we haven't done it that way before", adding, "First of all, you make 'Doctor Who' frightening to appeal to children. It's the children who find it frightening, not the adults, and children absolutely rank 'Doctor Who' stories in order of frightened-ness - that's what it's about. You put the jokes in and the silly bits in for the adults and you put the scary bits in for the kids."

The new series, which kicks off on BBC One on 23 April, will see the Timelord head to 1960s America together with sidekicks Amy Pond, Rory William and River Song.

In the two-part season opener – made up of episodes 'The Impossible Astronaut' and 'Day of the Moon' – the quartet find themselves helping President Nixon chase a mysterious astronaut and fight aliens.

The new series, which features guest appearances from stars including Lily Cole and James Corden, will for the first one to be split into two parts. The first seven episodes will be shown this spring, while the last six will air in the autumn. A massive cliffhanger will keep fans guessing all summer.

Who do you think is going to leave 'Doctor Who' for good? And should the series really be darker?...

SUPER SPECULATION:

Okay... why did he say River Song's name? She already died in the Library two-parter... unless.

Hmmm.

There's only reason he'd say River's name.

It can't be Rory.

My bets on:

1/2 River
1/4 Doctor
1/4 Amy

I think it's the doctor and that ties in with the whole old-TARDIS and Moffat must have done the whole "I killed a good man" thing said by river sometime soon so yah.

Moffat deserves some writers award if all of that is actually related. I was thinking that there must be something linking the series, initially I thought that the 10 years he was gone happened because he got preoccupied, not just because the tardis was damaged.

yeah she died in that, unless she comes back? but how would that be possible..

i think it is the doctor, it would link in with the 'she killed a good man' and the doctor being held prisoner in the trailer?

but if the doctor dies.. hmm?

Yeah the whole cybermat thing isn't common knowledge so you've probably just spoiled it for someone.

There's already a picture of a cybermat, at the start of the thread, xD. Also theres only been set reports of new-who cybermen, suppdosley with out the C logo.

Bearded Doctor is in the first episode, only one reason for him being there.

Moff details "One of the main characters will die."

All adds up, along with the plot synopsis released by the BBC:


Episode 6.01 – The Impossible Astronaut
Four envelopes, numbered 2, 3 and 4, each containing a date, time and map reference, unsigned, but TARDIS blue. Who sent them? And who received the missing number one? This strange summons reunites the Doctor, Amy, Rory and River Song in the middle of the Utah desert and unveils a terrible secret the Doctor’s friends must never reveal to him.

Placing his life entirely in their hands, the Doctor agrees to search for the recipient of the fourth envelope – just who is Canton Everett Delaware the Third? And what is the relevance of their only other clue: ‘Space 1969′? Their quest lands them – quite literally – in the Oval Office, where they are enlisted by President Nixon himself to assist enigmatic former-FBI agent Canton, in saving a terrified little girl from a mysterious spaceman.

Episode 6.02 – Day of the Moon
The Doctor is locked in the perfect prison. Amy, Rory and River Song are being hunted down across America by the FBI. With the help of new friend and FBI-insider, Canton Everett Delaware the Third, our heroes are reunited to share their discoveries, if not their memories. For the world is occupied by an alien force who control humanity through post-hypnotic suggestion and no one can be trusted. Aided by President Nixon and Neil Armstrong’s foot, the Doctor must mount a revolution to drive out the enemy and rescue the missing little girl. No-one knows why they took her. Or why they have kidnapped Amy Pond…

No doubt the companions and River will have to deal with time can be rewritten versus 'not one line!'

Maybe they have good reason for the Doctor to die.

I dunno,

we're in for something.

[iBlueBox]

I haven't heard any of this stuff of 'future doc' or what ever, some one explain it all?

[Fez]

I haven't heard any of this stuff of 'future doc' or what ever, some one explain it all?

Basically, this series is all about ensuring the Doctor (beardy weirdy seen in the trailer) doesn't happen to present Doctor. My theory is it's all a ruse with River Song involved to try and turn the Doctor into doing something evil, thinking it'll prevent his death.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpe1Ywz8azM

"You're going to have to do what we tell you and you can't ask why."

Instructions from beardy weirdy to find the envelopes in the first two episodes, clones are involved in episodes six and seven. I'm pretty sure that this all points towards something spectacularly brilliant, if the whole 'Silents' is involved as well.

[merlin15]

"I think The Silence are one of the greatest monsters of recent years and certainly one of the scariest," reveals Matt Smith."They're also very clever and I love the fact they've been silently working since the dawn of time to make The Doctor come unstuck."
Matt is talking about the new breed of monster which viewers will be introduced to in the opening two episodes of the series. He is remaining tight-lipped about what viewers can expect but he does offer some insights into the story arc for this series."Steven has a grand plan and some of the seeds he planted in the last series start coming to fruition and affecting the characters in drastic ways," explains Matt."Every character is faced with the most seismic and high-stakes choices we've seen so far." this is what matt says

[Niall!]

Some people have been speculating that there has been hints of the silents being around them other than the obvious ones. For example in The Big Bang in the scene where Amy is with little Amy, there appears to be cloaked figures behind the sarcophagus (this could just be to hold it up) but when the camera is panning to the right a dark figure moves out of the way.

Other hints include characters staring off into the distance with an extremely worried look in their face in episode 1 and does the same in the Lodger.

[Accipiter]

skips forward

Alien looks barely anything like slenderman, for one he has a trilby and about 7 arms.

He looks more like anonymous from 4chan, just needs an afro.

And I would never want a Dalek in a christmas special, I actually am getting sick to **** of seeing them...

[Accipiter]

Probably not a trilby trilby, but one of those 1920's cop hats you saw in Public Enemies.

Nvm I dare say I looked at a ****** up image LMAO

Can't wait for the series, cba with cybermen, daleks, same old crap, need some new monsters, they have a tardis but they live in the past.

- Yes they still have the awful cybus design, but at least the logo has gone. There's been high speculation of there being an updated Mondas Cyberman, so that would be good.

Oh... 6pm is a damn lot earlier than I imagined.

I hate the Cybus design, even without the logo.

[Accipiter]

The cybermen actually use to be my favorite when I first started to watch, now I can't wait to get rid of them.

[iBlueBox]

Oh... 6pm is a damn lot earlier than I imagined.

Yeah, best time would be 7PM though, 6 is a bit early.

Cybus design, is the worst design ever to change a monster in Doctor Who, It made the Cybermen, not scary.
Example, Tomb Of The Cybermen, great story with Patrick Throughton, they actually scared me.

[Fez]

Daleks and Cybermen need a rest, over-used, shame really since the Daleks were so strong in Series One/Two.

Cybermen have never been that strong in NewWho, shame too given they were terrifying in the Troughton story.

[Accipiter]

I personally just don't like the reuse of monsters for whole episodes, I still think the return of the angels was a bad idea as they were such a classic monster from just that episode. Even though that episode really didn't have a feel of being a Dr Who episode haha.

[iBlueBox]

Daleks are over used, too much as a centric villain, in new who, They are over used, its why theres non in series 6.

I wouldn't say the same about the Cybermen in new who though, They've been there, but no actual good stories, I think they where shown best in The Next Doctor ( apart from the big cybermen ship, tottaly stupid )

But If the cybermen where used on a bigger scale, with more better storylines, they could work good.

[Accipiter]

I think they're just a bit useless all together haha, they're just like the way family guy defines the clones in star wars, they have weapons but always miss, they've discovered how to place a human brain into a usable suit of armor, yet the suit of armor can't run, and can't shoot for ****, it's a bit of a downgrade from a human to a cyberman. I'd be more terrified if they replaced them with intelligent chavs.

[Ellz]

When does it start?

When does it start?

23rd April, BBC 1 @ 6PM. ^_^

Cybermen scare me for some reason. :(

wooo, cant wait!

[dbgtz]

The cybermen actually use to be my favorite when I first started to watch, now I can't wait to get rid of them.

Same, I find them mega dull now. I also agree with the angels, I rather they just stayed in blink when they were somewhat scary. They were not at all in the newer ones and I find that episode quite crap in comparison to blink.

Anyway I don't get why they couldn't redesign them completely, what's the point just getting rid of the C and sticking to the same design when the daleks have changed, and for the worst in my opinion. They changed the wrong monster design lol.

I don't think the problem with the daleks is that they were every series as such, but series 1, 2, 4 and 5 finales had daleks in them and the fact every dalek story is basically the same.

[Accipiter]

And the redesign of the Daleks is so bad, they just look like the henry the hoovers now.

[iBlueBox]

And the redesign of the Daleks is so bad, they just look like the henry the hoovers now.

The new Daleks are great, but there simply amazing, if you see them in real life, much more frightening

[Accipiter]

The old ones seemed to be much more scary because they weren't branded like teletubbies

The only thing the new ones could possibly be scary at is their size

[dbgtz]

yeah the colours really kill any sense of horror they bring
although so does the plunger.

[Tom]

I so actually can't wait for this! It looks so good!

Loved the kojima reference and completely agree with that :L

Also I agree about Amy as a character, along with pretty much everything you said about characters. The material they get is bad, not the actors. The series as you pretty much said, was destroyed by the power of love somehow over powering something physical, like a bomb or a link by electric or w.e it was in the lodger.

[Fez]

Odd given we have potentially the best Doctor just walking around.

I just can't imagine either Tennant or Eccleston going "I wear a fez now. Fezes are cool."

I'll always be looking forward to Who, even if we have a complete idiot at the helm.

[Chippiewill]

...Catherine Tate’s acting chops shine oh so bright in this episode, as we’re treated to a “What if?” reality in which the most interesting things happen. The Doctor dies aboard the space-Titanic thing seen in Voyage of the Damned and we’re treated to seeing just what would happen. It’s a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful piece of acting from Tate and a true show-off of Davies’ writing ability....
I thought he died in the spider's lair thing from drowning? Pfft, call yourself a Doctor Who fan...

;p

Side-note: Personally hated that episode

Yeah but you can't compare as Tennant is far superior at the more serious scenes. I can imagine Eccleston saying it, but it doesn't sound good in my head and Tennant, not at all can I imagine it.

I dunno, I think Eccleston's timelord with a deathwish is better than Tennant's Timelord without Rose. I love both of them, but Eccleston just gets to me more when it comes to the serious scenes.

Rose is just useless in Series 4, shoved in because the fans wanted her back and it retconned the whole of Doomsday. Shame. They killed Ianto in the Torchwood Mini-Series, Children of Earth, and that was a damn good bloody good damn show. There's been shouts from fanboys to bring back Ianto but Davies has learned his lesson and not bringing him back, so to preserve the effect of Children of Earth.

Third bloggins up later today.

[Inseriousity.]

I've read your blog, you seem to hate all the episodes I like lolol.

As for Amy, yeah I've never liked her that much but on rewatch, I've grown a bit more tolerant towards her. Donna is my favourite companion so far and that probably led to a lot of unfair comparing I think. :)

[dbgtz]

I think the thing that ruins amy the most is the fact she hits on the doctor when shes married... OK I dont mind the short skirts and anything else ****** clothes wise, but her coming on to the doctor is just god awful. I don't think I will like any form of doctor romance for a while since series 2. I like series 2 when I completely ignore the events of series 4.

[sophiethenerd]

Amy for me was always a bit over rated. I find the character rather annoying if I am honest.
However the acting and the plotlines were really good.

[Chippiewill]

I dunno, I think Eccleston's timelord with a deathwish is better than Tennant's Timelord without Rose. I love both of them, but Eccleston just gets to me more when it comes to the serious scenes.
After reading your blog yesterday I decided it would be a good idea to watch some of Eccleston's episodes again and I am inclined to agree, (I actually forgot how good those episodes were) I've also watched a lot of films with him in it recently and actually forgot who good of an actor he is (Bloody magnificent actor by the way, especially when you can hear his accent properly... sexy accent that is).


Rose is just useless in Series 4, shoved in because the fans wanted her back and it retconned the whole of Doomsday.
I mostly hate the fact that they added a kind of super heroesque kind of feel to the character (Although they always do that every-time they bring a character back, the only time they've done it properly is with Sarah Jane. It might be because they try desperately not to portray them as the Assistant again because they're not taking permanent residence) and then spent tons of scenes of explaining to other characters who she was which was just a painful waste of time. That and Billie Piper is a terrible actor.


They killed Ianto in the Torchwood Mini-Series, Children of Earth, and that was a damn good bloody good damn show. There's been shouts from fanboys to bring back Ianto but Davies has learned his lesson and not bringing him back, so to preserve the effect of Children of Earth.Ianto was one of my favourite characters (In fact Torchwood is one of my favourite series from the BBC because it's basically Doctor Who with more sci-fi and less dumbed down stuff fro children) and was always one of those slightly less important characters that always outperformed the more important characters.


. He also decides to base some episodes around Amy Pond, a plot device,
Series 1: Rose was used as a plot device at the ending
Series 4: Donna was used a a plot device at the end as-well (And even Martha was used a Plot Device sort of in the first of the episodes she was in)


She’s dumb when the plot demands it, emotive when the plot demands it and clever when the plot needs it.It's been that in every series (Except the second) because the Assistant has to start dumb and progressively get smarter, although I will say that they were slightly sporadic with the smartness dumbness spread with Amy which made it slightly more obvious (Like with the Space Dolphin episode, dumb for the entire thing except for the last 20 seconds)


OK I dont mind the short skirts and anything else ****** clothes wise
I don't think there's a male on this planet who doesn't mind the short skirts.


I don't think I will like any form of doctor romance for a while since series 2.
I wish they'd played out the romance thing with River Song a bit more myself, I think it could have worked out quite well, especially if they keep this theme of her not being on the Tardis the entire time (Don't want them cluttering up the episodes with loads of scenes of kissing).

[Fez]

Ianto was one of my favourite characters (In fact Torchwood is one of my favourite series from the BBC because it's basically Doctor Who with more sci-fi and less dumbed down stuff fro children) and was always one of those slightly less important characters that always outperformed the more important characters.

Personally I hate all of Torchwood pre-Children of Earth and cannot wait until Miracle Day.


Series 1: Rose was used as a plot device at the ending
Series 4: Donna was used a a plot device at the end as-well (And even Martha was used a Plot Device sort of in the first of the episodes she was in)

I felt when Rose became a plot device, it was more effective given her ties to the Doctor and him knowing what was going to happen. She was a device, and he couldn't stop that.

Series 4's finale is just one big massive joke to the fans. Martha was just awful in the first half of Series 3.

I agree. I just don't think Amy progresses at all as a character and is... ungrateful when she has Mr Cool Rory AND the Doctor, yet she happily just jumps around and flirts and then becomes smart and I love Rory etc.

Even if she IS the TARDIS, that still doesn't live up to the level of intrigue that Moffat has pushed through after literal years of Who. Personally I think she's the Rani, but that's just speculation.

Also, glad you're enjoying going back to enjoy Eccleston's time. I want to go back and re-watch the Series One finale, along with Boom Town, one specific detail (namely: Mickey) has got me wondering about a certain writing technique Davies uses in every single series.

@your blog, i think eccleston could have quite easily done tennants clip, something from the waters of mars would have been better imo.

Also a bit random, but I just watched the trailer again on BBC 1 and damn I still love it so much, I hope its so epic.

Tennant's Doctor felt empowered by evil, Eccleston's Doctor never turned towards it. He was dark in himself, not in his actions.

I don't think he could do the Gridlock clip given how open the 10th. Doctor is open about things.

[Chippiewill]

Your blog post just reminded me of how funny this scene was:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu1_AguulJ8

[Accipiter]

Ecclestons best acting I've seen is in Amelia, I loved it, he seems to be typecast as a criminal half the time though haha.

I loved eccleston, but my favourite series has to be Cathrine Tates, they worked so well together.

[Fez]

I just noticed something.

Series One: Ecclestone goes away
Series Two: Rose goes away
Series Three: Martha goes away
Series Four: Donna goes away, Rose goes away (again)
Specials: Tennant goes away
Series Five: The Doctor goes away twice, Amy goes away twice, Rory goes away twice, River Song goes away.

Away = die/leave, including all the sequences in Amy's Choice and Cold Blood.

Once people die so often, it loses the effect, like the atomic bomb sequence/character death in Call of Duty 4 repeated three times in MW2. Might be why I don't like Series Five at all.

Well the series 4 one is kinda incorrect, cos rose goes away again as he "patches it back up" the thing between the universes

Also by the character death thing what does thou mean? Bit off topic but who cares cept mods.

For the COD example?

In CoD4 you get bombed by an atom bomb and get shot in the head at the start, in MW2 you die as Roach, the Astronaut, the American (who comes back), the undercover American and Soap (who comes back).

Completely disagree - Moffat in my opinion has saved the series

[Lost_Addict]

I enjoyed (and mostly agreed) with your ramblings about the dr. who episodes up untill this instalment, i believe you are completley wrong about torchwood in everyway possible. With torchwood its more about connecting with the characters, i can never connect with these characters (on Dr. Who) as they never show any emotion nor is there a fear that one of them will die (no main character in dr who has ever died) wheras in new who, you generally fear for a characters well being. There hasn't been a more emotional scene IMO in new who / torchwood or jane adventures that when tosh and owen die, tosh doesn't want owen to know shes been shot and they die without getting that date that the storyline was leading up to.

So ya, i agree with your opinions on the dr. who episodes but you went off the ball when you rambled on about torchwood.

[Tom]

Hmm, just had a though. Professor Riversong. Maybe she may be the silence? No-one knows who she is blah blah blah. I dunno? Stupid Idea but maybe :P

EDIT:
ORRR, she may be married to one of the silence...................

[Fez]

I just couldn't get into the show, the acting was fine, just the way they presented the general 'seriousness'.

[peteyt]

Torchwood could have been great if it worked out the difference between adult and teen/mature teen.

YEY!

I love river song. She is such a mystery and its fun to have someone who knows the doctors future around to make us all wonder what will happen.

The Christmas episode was a bit sentimental but I liked the idea of someone's past being changed right in front of there eyes and how you would end up with two "pasts" .
My favourite episode was flesh and stone. Mainly just for A. Epic weeping angels and B. THE DIFFERENT SUIT PLOT THAT WAS JUST SO EPICALLY AWESOME!

[Cwmbran]

Anybody know if the Daleks are going back to the regular ones? Not the crap brightly coloured ones?

[dbgtz]

I hated the Christmas Special, it one of the worst, if not, the worst.


Would it be better with a giant cyberman roaming the town...

Also why would the daleks revert? They spent a whole episode converting them and spent money to buy at least 5 new suits they might aswell use them. Also they're probably a bit nicer for operators as theyre probably more spacious.

[Cwmbran]

If there was enough complaints they would revert them regardless of what they spent on the costumes or if it was more spacious for the operators. Everyone I've talked to about them really dislike the brightly coloured ones.

[Accipiter]

We don't care about work environments :l we want good daleks! LMAO

And personally I thought the last christmas special was the best christmas special.

[Cwmbran]

They arent even scary anymore. Not that they were that scary to begin with, now they are like all brightly coloured and like scene kids. I'm actually gonna call them scene daleks from now on.
When they were a dull brown colour they were so much better.

[Accipiter]

I'd rather they actually, really, really, really, really, finally, ******* killed them. They're always crawling out of ******* no where, Rose imagined every single one of them dead yet they all still survive :l WTF MAN

Is it just me who doesn't see the big dealio with Dr Who? My dad loves it, me not so much.

It's probably not only you.

In all honesty if I saw the new one irl i'd probably end up stacking them to make a yellow house with a red roof.

I've seen the old ones irl, even if they're small they're still scarier than the epilepsy gang.

[Moh]

I think a lot of it is due to the fact a lot of kids watch it too. Moffat said in an interview that this series is going to be more scary, so hopefully it's going to be good :)

Will be interesting to see who River Song is, I can't see her being the doctors wife as that's too obvious and there's always a twist.

Apparently one of the main characters is going to die, but Amy is in the following episodes, Rory had died already and we already know how River dies and it wouldn't be Doctor Who without the doctor.

I wonder what this is, looks similar to regeneration :P

[peteyt]

Dam and I was having such a good day.

I've met Elisabeth a few times at some conventions, before the new series had started, even have a picture of me and her. She was great, a down to earth person. I was really young at the time like and only was there for one day didn't stop a night, but she was having food and drink with all the fans.

It would poo up the line of events. He can never find out who she (Or it even) is until the time is right or they might not even meet which would most likely Really screw up what has happened. Amy would be dead ( River teleported her to safety in flesh and stone.) God knows what would happen in the big bang episode . River would not have exploded the tardis so,complicated stuffs would happen.
I think River does not kill the doctor. She says she kills the best man she ever knew , well the doctor isn't a man,he is a timelord. As for what river is well I have no ideas! Lol

[Inseriousity.]

I just noticed a plot hole (kinda). The Doctor wants to know who River is every time he meets her.. why doesn't he just go back to the library and look at her diary? :P

He could've found out who she was at the end of The Big Bang cos he had her diary. I think there's a part of him that quite likes trying to piece the mystery together. That's basically what the Doctor does every episode :P

I hope they let us know at the beginning of the series, otherwise the whole "Whos is River Song" is going to get boring. We need something new xD

If they give it all away, like too much, then it will probably ruin the series as there needs to be something that keeps people hooked e.g. the cracks got people wondering what was going on and people watched throughout to find out.

I think if you revealed all of it, it would be too much at the beginning. We simply need hints throughout the series building up to a big finale/reveal

Story arc's we have em every year, I dont think we'll find out who River is in the beginning, more then likely, the midd-season finale.

I don't think we'll ever completely find out who river is, I think it will be just one of those things that stays unanswered. I love them mystery of who she is.

I think we will find out what she is to the doctor but as for what she really is, I don't think we will ever find out.

The Van Gogh episode wasn't half bad in my eyes, it's just the choreography of the show seems to have went a bit down hill in parts like fighting / running / defending.

They need to lay off the CGI too it's cheap and tacky, Dr Who is known for its bad ass costume designs, so stop taking the easy road you lazy *******s.

[sophiethenerd]

Van Gough was not about the alien. It was about his depression and how the mind is very complex.
I found it one of the best episodes and I admit in the museum in the end I had a little tear.

[Accipiter]

They could have created a much better monster for him though, maybe like the one that was in the 2012 olympics episode would have been more suited lmao.

I didn't find anything about that monster special. Look at Doctor Who with RTD you had the big CGI lazarus. I think the new series of Doctor Who feels so dam fresh

[Accipiter]

It seems to just be spitting far to much high contrasts crap out atm, in the new angels episode it just seemed to be far to prop heavy & colourful, even the tardis is bluer, like what the actual **** lmao.

I want to see them putting more effort in, the vampires episode would have been a **** load more scarier if it was in the dark, but they decide to shoot such a monster during day light :S Kind of makes the whole im versing a vampire thing void when you have daylight on your side

But liam you idiot, they were giant fish!
Anyway I read in the sun (yes, bad source but still) that each episode costs 1m, I mean blimey. They have to get lost of merchandise cash to pay for it but this confuses me when bluray discs are mega expensive but they packaged 5 or 6 into last series box set.

Also what are they doing to tribute Liz? I heard they were doing something but can't remember what. Also in the Sun again was Tom Baker writing a tribute article to her, he looks well weird compared to the younger him.

[Fez]

LOL The Sun.

Don't believe "£1million" for a second. You wonder why they had to hire some young pretty looking actors and actresses to fill the boots of Tennant and company? Smith is being paid half of what Tennant earned and Karen around half of what the average companion would get for three series. The series itself has had its budget cut and cut throughout the years and I'd expect it to carry on getting cut. The likes of Midnight and Boom Town were written and filmed to save moneys. Last series it was the same with the Van Gogh episode, which is one of my favourites of all time.

[Accipiter]

But they weren't vampires

Fair play

But it's still a bit of a cop out when you name the episode after vampires, and they end it with them well, being not vampires. It's ****** writing in all honesty.

The BBC give them £700,000 per episode, but they cost £1 million to make. So they need to sell merchandise to get more money. Every series there's been an episode that doesn't have more than one location or lots of props or had great CGI. Moffat said he could spend Avatars budget easily.

Although, it's the budget that cause the team to be creative. They only made the tardis a police box to save budget in the original.

It wasn't one of the best episodes and maybe Vampires would have been better but in a sense it did give something different. I found it hilarious when people claimed on IMDB after seeing the next week trailer, it was a rip off of twilight. Today's youth eh

[Accipiter]

******* Twilight, do they have to pick the ****test vampire movie that comes to mind?

They need some new monsters, they need costume monsters that are creative, new, maybe a whole new enemy for life. Would certainly be something to revolve a series around.

[Michael]

Todays the day Doctor Whos on! (Yes I know its 00.56am but its saturday now, right? :D) Looking forward to it, but first I need to go to sleep..

[lawrawrrr]

I can't believe I'm actually spoiler free for tonight... this is like the first time ever. Seen the trailers but nothing else! Supperrr excited!!!

[Accipiter]

I'm actually not that clued up on this series haha, I usually am.

[Cwmbran]

[sophiethenerd]

I am actually really excited the nerd that I am. So many spoilers that arnt on the doctor who website and then confidential after. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEY

[dbgtz]

Just get a bed sheet with her body printed on it.

[Chris]

Just 10 more long minutes until it starts! Ive been waiting all day for this! :D

[Moh]

3 more minutes!!

[sophiethenerd]

I am on Iplayer.
LET THE DOCTOR WHO FEST BEGIN!

[Moh]

Bless my mummy, turning her music off for me :P

Awww, In memory of elisabeth sladen

[sophiethenerd]

MIND BLOWN

[lawrawrrr]

anyone else totally confused??


still love it.

[Jordan]

same laura, it will all make sense in the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Circadia]

I'm confuseeeeeeeeeddddddd and that alien is freaky :(

[sophiethenerd]

Actually scared.

[dbgtz]

did anyone notices the reference to the first time we saw river, when she was like she cant bare when the doctor doesnt know her and she thinks itll kill her.

im officially announcing amys child is mine, congrats welcome

[sophiethenerd]

I found rivers speech incredibly sad.

[Jordan]

i dont get it

oh its 2 parts nvm i never knw that

[lawrawrrr]

some idiotic boyfriend called me so i missed the last 15 minutes... i'm watching it again later.


watching elisabeth sladen tribute now.

[Accipiter]

Think i've got a sense of whats going on

Who kills him
Amys child, or Amy, i'm guessing it's a companion.

What happened at the end there
Amy shot one of the Aliens? Seeing as the killing of kids in banned in any format.

[Circadia]

I'm confused :( But I swear that thing inside that vault which river and Rory got into was used in 'the lodger' as that space ship which needed a new pilot..

[Moh]

wow!

Wonder if Amys child has anything to do with anything? Girl in the suit? River song? Who knows o.O

When the doctor was messing around with the helmet thingy, I thought maybe he kills himself? Amy tells the doctor he's going to die, the doctor goes and kills himself to prevent a paradox?

[Fez]

Someone just explain to me what the hell happened.

I find it funny how Amy is now a consistent character, it only took a marriage and a scary alien.

I'll forgive you Moffat when you tell me RIVER IS AMY'S CHILD AAHHHHHH. AND THE DOCTOR KNOCKED HER UP YO.

That would be totally awesome if that happened :L!

[Accipiter]

If river song was the Doctors child, wouldn't he recognize her name?

Unless he turns up on Jeremy Kyle next week to explain why he doesn't know his own childs name

[dbgtz]

if you saw the preview you will see she cracked the thing, thats all

[Accipiter]

Link to the preview

Because i'm pretty positive the killing of children is banned, unless the child is a monster taking a form of a child, which then its ok to show.

[Moh]

Didn't see the child die..

[Accipiter]

Nor is there a crack in her Sun Shield, just watched it there, I actually forgot to watch that bit LMAO

[Fez]

Thought: I can forgive Moffat when he pushes the show in the way of LOST ("TUNE IN NEXT WEEK CLIFFHANG CLIFFHANG CLIFFHANG ETC.") when it's not a massive mystery or something that's just outright teasing.

EDIT: Watching the Lisbeth Sladen tribute on CBBC, choking up, saddening. I want to re-watch The Sarah Jane Adventures now and go back to Pertwee.

[Accipiter]

Could never get into lost, looked like I'm a celebrity get me out of here with creepy perverts.

As you can tell by that you probably know I didn't watch many of them.

[Chris]

Great episode. A bit confusing but Ive got a week to get my head around it. :P
