jester1470 Posted June 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 I think it was. There seems to be some amount of self congratulation over at DenOfGeek for spotting that the Doctor was wearing his jacket in the scene when he shouldn't have been and they all guessed it was intentional rather than a continuity error.I have to admit we were sad enough to have that conversation in our household too, I'd have liked to see the Dr go back into some past episodes from other Dr's some Tennant and Ecclestone, and maybe even some McCoy and McGann Just to cg him over an outtake or a scene where he could just observe would have been very cool... I really like most of the episodes but it does show how much the budget has been cut when he fought the giant Chicken in the otherwise excellent Van Gogh episode.I was also saddened to see that the ratings were so much lower for this series, which, with the exception of the terrible dalek episode was generally pretty good - I hope interest in matt Smith as the Dr mgiht be renewed after the x-mas episode. I think a lot opf people didnt watch just solely because he wasnt Tennant which i think was a shame. Looking forward to the inevitable Tennant/Smith crossover episode though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oedo 808 Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 We need to get someone in to be Hartnell and do a prequel episode to explain why he stole the Tardis in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Von Mondragon Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Nah, in classic style we need, The Ten Doctors episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester1470 Posted June 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Nah, in classic style we need, The Ten Doctors episode.Maybe a storyline in place that explains that Colin Baker ate the first 3 thus explaining his dimensions and the lack of the first 3... foof for thought...

Alan Cynic Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 I think David Threlfall would make a decent William Hartnell. Who would do Patrick Troughton? (His son David, maybe?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(His son David, maybe?)David's too big to do Patrick troughton I think though facially very similar. Sean Pertwee in a wig to do his father ?

Paranoid Android Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Very good ending. Much better than the over the top endings by RTD.Matt Smith has been awesome the whole series. Made me completely forget about Tenant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oedo 808 Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Best episode I can think of in a long time. In fact, that might just have raised the bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester1470 Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Great episode, very disappointed they did a dedication to Lis Sladen and not Nick Courtney which seemed a bit of a slap in the face for the companion who has acted opposite the most Dr's - for those interested: Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, and Sylvester McCoy (he also played a different part opposite William Hartnell, and had acted in Dr Who audio's with Colin Baker and Paul McGann, and a UNIT audio with David Tennant. Looking forward to next weeks episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOX Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 they did a dedication to Lis SladenI didn't see this... Was it a picture and date of birth after the credits? I assume it was.Anyway, great episode, genuinely scary but still very enjoyable viewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oedo 808 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 It was right at the beginning. It was simply her name, birth and death date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester1470 Posted April 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 SPOILERS--------------------------So do we reckon the little girl is Amy's daughter, who may also happen to be River Song... Hence the killed the best man she ever knew... though quite how she could do it as a little girl and still become a well known Dr etc I'm not sure if she gets jailed for it...

Paranoid Android Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Um, wowsers.So lots of weird stuff, leaving leaving lots of unanswered questions. Overall I think it's been a great start to the series, with Moffat taking the show even further in his own direction away from the RTD era. That said I'm quite disappointed it looks like we've got one of those sillier episodes next week which will have almost nothing to do with what we've just seen. Almost every moment in that orphanage was bloody creepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOX Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Well that was bloody fucking awful.It was supposed to be a filler episode, which might explain it; not really sure why they bumped it up to episode three.Really nothing to that one, and to show it off the back of two frankly excellent Moffat episodes was utterly stupid judgement.

Paranoid Android Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Apparantly they switched it with another episode because the one it was switched with was too dark to come straight after the opening two parter.I don't mind fun silly Who. But that just had so many bizarre plot holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that just had so many bizarre plot holes.Ahh. I'm going purely off rumour though.Neither do I, but that episode was just... I don't know. No real relation to the first two in the slightest, didn't seem to be going anywhere (the CSI-style Dr Who eps are really monotonous and I'm not too pleased to see them again) and the full-stop ending just seemed... weird.Can't wait for another Moffat, but it looks like the next one will be at least three episodes away ): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
