Doctor Who: Season 4

Ok, I was wrong before, it wasn't Turn Left, but I've just checked the episode guide in the Radio Times and the next episode is actually called River's Run, so all of us were wrong!!! :cheese:

But at the end of the episode it says 'Forest of the Dead', doesn't it?


Anyways, I agree with the aforementioned statement regarding the cheesy 'infection' of proper dave.
 
River's Run was the working title that was changed back in about March.
 
The doctors daughter is hot. I'm betting there going to kill off David soon and we all know Time Lords can only regenerate ten time's and why look at that this is the tenth doctor. (btw I'm a Yank in yankton central so I haven't seen the actual episode yet, so if she's not really his daughter don't spoil it Euro people)
 
But the Master got more regerations somehow, didn't he?

Forgot to mention this before, but the episode reminded me of an episode of the old Silver Surfer cartoon. The Surfer and a bunch of other people arrived at the Watchers' library which had been overrun by slime creatures.

"EVERYBODY LIVES" again

The master has been cheating death ever since the doctor met him

The time lords gave him a new set of regenerations.

Just watched the new episode on iPlayer and I really enjoyed it :)

Not as good as blink but I would say this two parter was easily the best part of this series so far.
 
Next weeks looks shit though, budget saving episode as we get every season
 
It might not be too bad, it looks better than the doctor's daughtter that's for sure (but probably not hard)
 
Eurgh, didn't think much of the second half at all. Matrix this, horribly cheesy monsters that. I say it again: Moffat, why did you have to take an interesting creation and turn it into a walking rigid skeleton that repeats ridiculously corny lines that do nothing more than make me cringe. I was actually quite afraid of Blink, but these, eh... rubbish.

Poor show. I waited 7 or so episodes in anticipation only to be let down. Oh well, still Davros to look forward to.

He reached his 13th and final regeneration and was slowly reaching the end of that regeneration's natural life (similar to how William Hartnell, the first Doctor, dies) so he tries to steal the symbols of Rassilon, the President of the Time Lords; an act that would give further life but bring about the destruction of Gallifrey. So he flees and takes the body of the Tremas which gives him new life (haven't seen those episodes so I'm a little unclear).

Then, the Master helps out in The Five Doctors and the Time Lords grant him 12 new regenerations. This Master somehow escapes a planet that blows up and begins trying to artificially extend his life even further (despite being at the start of a brand new 13 bodied life - talk about greedy) and so is put to death by the Time Lords who leave him at the mercy of the Daleks as one of the acts of the Time War. However, beyond this point, the Time War gets a little shaky so they bring him back to life once more from the Matrix but he flees to the end of the Universe and... you know this bit.

Yay Jenna lives!

*edit*
Why didn't her apprence change when she regenrated?

Jenny. :p

The terraforming sphere brought new life. She was right next to it when it smashed. She inhaled a lot of the gas. It brought her new life too.

That's what most people reckon. It's left pretty ambiguous for Steven Moffat to pick up on in 2010 (after all it was he who asked for her to come back to life).

Early reviews say it is possibly one of the best of the series so far and the "shit-looking budget-saving" setting gives it a real sense of claustrophobic terror. I'd rather have a good budget-saving episode and then get a grand spectacle like The Fires of Pompeii and Forest of the Dead than two episodes with the same budget spread thinly over both.


For the record, I thought this two-parter was the best story Doctor Who has EVER done. I cried. I laughed. I pondered.

And it set up so many plot-strands for the Moffat-era, it's untrue.
 
I thought that episode was good. It certainly gave a shock on more than one occasion, but I still don't think it was as good as Blink.
 
ZOMG!

Leaked, low-resolution picture of Davros:

A lot of the sites that have the image hosted are having the image deleted. If it disappears, give me a PM and I'll do my best to show you.
 
I can't imagine anyone worse to be honest. Apart from maybe Timmy Mallet.

I reckon Julian Bleach will shoot to fame following this role.
 
Can't wait for a pic like that in high res
 
"Spoilery" title of episode 12 is:

The Stolen Earth

I like it, but I'd hardly say it was spoilery.

If fits in with a lot of stuff spanning all four series involving several species losing their planets.
 
So Earth will be threatened. Potentially by someone with vast powers. Which would imply it was a being other than human. Potentially alien.

So an alien race will threaten Earth.

Hm... how "spoilerish".
 
How the hell do you keep finding out all this info, Reg? have you got some spy on the inside leaking all this stuff to you or something???
 
No, I'm really David Ten... what? :O

I just keep my nose to the ground, finger to the grindstone and my ear on the pulse.
I just know these things. :p
 
You are sober, aren't you? :p That would make all the difference!!! :cheese:

Davros hasn't changed a bit. I am so ****ing thankful of that.
 
Those pictures are wow. Tonight's episode was wow. Tonight is DoctorWhogasm night.
 
I was suprised by tonights episode...pleasantly.

I was expecting a shitty episode, what I got was quite possibly Tennents best performance as the Doctor, and a quite intense final 15 mins.

Really good.
 
Episode was seriously excellent for the first half hour, but it soon resolved into a constant sense of climax/danger that kind of got a bit wearing. I just felt the pacing, rather than building and falling skillfully, just kind of went up pretty high and stayed there. Plus, unless I failed at understanding something, the creature or thing was a little vaguely handled. The final few moments were great.

Who wrote that one? I missed the beginning.
