Doctor Who: Season 4

TSS was actually awesome! :E I wasn't expecting too much from last week's trailer and the new design, but they turned awesome. They grew on me more than any other enemy in New Who history I should think.
 
I quite enjoyed that episode, actually, if just for the Sontarens. I'm not sure why, but I quite enjoyed their British stiff-upper lip attitude and found them quite humourous. The chant at the end was cringeworthy as hell, but still, I liked it.

I know what it is I so hate about the new Doctor Who, though - the bloody art direction. Why does every secret lab or high-tech base have to have neon purple and green lights hidden behind machinary or computer terminals that consist of big white buttons that flash meaninglessly in the background? Eugh.
 
I liked the episode except for two things:
A: The Strategum goes against their code of honour so much, what the hell?
B: Why doesn't the Doctor use the screwdriver (or a rock) to break the windscreen?

what is their code of honour?

That's what I thought, for a smart guy he doesn't have much common sense :dozey:
 
So basically here's what i thought up about this season

Sontarans Are potatoes and are not as cool as they used to be.
The Ood did not deserve their own episode but it wasn't that bad.
I never saw the Pompeii episode but it did not look entertaining
Little balls of fat that somehow come to life makes a great first episode
i am eager to see what Steven Moffat has to come up with this season anyway I'm positive it will be better than what Russel T Davies came up with.
Donna Has gotten better than she was in the Christmas Episode.
ROSE MUST COME BACK
And I want to see davros this season or it will be fail.
................
That is all

Badly phrased. I mean that they seem to be very direct and have the mentality of always facing your enemy and they believe entering into battle is wonderful and seem to want to meet everything head on. But then they have this sneaky plan to infiltrate and kill by trickery, which seems to be against their general attitude.
 
Oh right yeah I thought that was quite odd even the doctor mentioned it o_O
 
Oh God. The Doctor's Daughter looks cringe-worthy. I expect that we'll see Rose before Martha gets the chance to return home and have a super happy fun episode with all three assistants.
 
Damnit, I hope they don't bring Rose back, saw her on that TV in the Tardis and I think that's a glimpse of things to come...

Liked the ep though, best in the series so far.

Agreed

Definitely. It just looks very generic with the sort of alien control and rag tag rebellion and the love interest with some guy and the daughter. Also why has she never been mentioned before? We knew about the granddaughter but wouldn't that mean the daughter is really old?

Uh... this is a show about time travel. She's really Young and really old and everything in between.

Erm...she's a Timelord....You know, regenerations and stuff :upstare:, and don't say she's not a timelord, the Doctors hand was bubbling, it only does that when a Timelord is near.

Where the hell have you been, that's been the focal point among fan boards since it was announced, and she appeared in Ep1 of the series.

She is coming back.

His hand bubbles when a Timelord is near?
 
She's probably a Gallifreyan but not a Timelord.

Of course. Doesn't the same thing happen to you when someone from the valleys is near?
 
Well, I'm going by the idea that all the Timelords are supposed to be dead. Then again, all the Daleks were supposed to be dead but the Doctor can't go a few months without running into an army of them.

I don't think she's a timelord I think she is just gallifreyan. Do regenerations still apply for them or is it just time lords?

Unless they've used a DNA machine of course.

If the supposed 'Three Companions' episode happens, perhaps they'll go back (or forward!) 30 minutes in the schedule and pick up Captain Jack. Saturday night is currently referred to as 'John Barrowman night' in my house, even though he isn't actually in Doctor Who. This is probably because whilst an entire evening of Barrowman's camp antics are only vaguely offensive, five seconds of Catherine Tate screen-time makes you wish that the television would explode and fire razor sharp glass into your Jugular. Better still, we should be able to vote companions off the show after an evening of cabaret performances, then the fourth series Doctor Who villian turns out to be a giant Barry Humphries slobbering over the younger companions before his climatic defeat speech that will contain the words 'four', 'Fagin' 'i've' 'times' and 'played'.

And why the f*** wasn't Ashley in the sing-off?

Same difference, as long as they both have regenerations, if not, then she must be a Timelord to be so young.
 
Cool. Davros.

EDIT: Brace for episode 8: it's a Moffat episode. Hoorah!
 
Russel T. Davies has said that the monsters in this story are even more frightening than Moffet's last monsters the Weeping Angels.

Hell Yeah
I best be seeing some mondasian cybermen for christmas
 
Dooo dee dooooo.

Thought I'd throw in my two cents worth of Doctor Who.

I've kept more up to date with this series than I have with any others, but I might miss it this week.

Catherine Tate is surprisingly less annoying than I thought I might find her.

Catherine Tate isnt bad you just have to remember that her character is supposed to be annoying.
Have you seen any of the old episodes?
 
A bit late on my update this week, but I thought The Poison Sky was fantastic! And I am greatly looking forward to this week's episode.

Having said that, if she really is a Time Lady, why didn't the Doctor's hundreds of "magic brainy scan things" shortly after the Time War - where he can sense other Time Lords - find her? I reckon there is more to her than meets the eye. Plus with her attractiveness and Ten's penchant for young girls, things may get a little incestuous.

To answer questions further up this thread, Time Lords are Gallifreyan; Gallifreyans aren't all Time Lords. They are chosen and initiated as shown briefly in The Sound of Drums. Upon their initiation, they are granted 12 regenerations (13 bodies). Further regenerations can be granted but it's never been revealed whether it's a controlled genetic trait, a psychically created mechanism of the TARDIS or something else. It's just taken for granted.
