Doctor Who - Spoilers!

In case there was any doubt, clearly NOT David Tennant.

The Angels are Moffat's only good creation and he's gonna milk them for all they're worth.

It's a tried & trusted technique in TV & films....something works once or twice then the producers get carried away and batter people to death with it until people don't give a crap.

Another problem is Moffat deciding to change the rules with them every time they appear.

First they are energy beings who feed off potential energy that freeze to stone when observed, even by themselves. Simple and calssic.

Now they snap your neck and eat your body, can use dead people's voices to telepathically communicate through walkie talkies, whatever holds the image of an angel becomes one, can screw with people's minds if you look at them for too long, are still stone when they move, and can move when they are being observed by eachother.
Way too complicated to make sense, let alone be scary.

We may not agree on most things but I think this could be an exception

I can understand the need to change the odd thing as otherwise they'll become as repetitive and predictable as Daleks and Cybermen but minor tweaking isn't enough for an egomaniac like Moffat so he tries to reinvent them every time out just so he can go on Confidential and drone on about how clever he is.

It's Christopher Eccleston isn't it?

There are a few enemy's that have suffered from being over used and the Angels have suffered that despite being in only 3 episodes. I like the Silence a lot but was disappointed how the Doctor didn't even ask why his Tardis blew up, even when he had rare chance to ask the Tardis it's self he never mentioned it. Its one arc im getting bored waiting to tie up because i think its been overlooked, surely that would be a main priority considering how much he loves the blue box?

Seems to be something very odd going on with the latest pics from the next wave (next seasons) Action figures.
Most are listed with

Spoiler

Seen in the paper earlier that Donna,Martha and Rose will reunite with the doctor in the next episode.

Martha i can understand but Rose and Donna? ..how will that work?

 

[pixletwin]

Wrong.

Spoiler

They are merely old footage as hologram-type cameos... like the Doctors at the end of Eleventh Hour.

OK.

Spoiler

I'm just posting what i heard ..but that's probably how it will be.

..but Martha meeting 11 in a future episode wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility.

 

[pixletwin]

True. But of all things that could happen in Who that is way down on my list of anything I would want to see.

 

[Desamo]

In case there was any doubt, clearly NOT David Tennant.

There is too many 10th doctor fans.I am 11th doctor fan.Matt Smith will never regenerate well he have do that sooner or later eventually.

 

[rebelpig]

There all

Spoiler

of the flesh I tell you, at least River and most of the other main characters.

 

[bcm77]

There is too many 10th doctor fans

I sort of agree.

The nice ones are tolerable.

The insane "worshipper" types can _____k off.

The second of Tom Baker's new audios for Big Finish has been recorded and a familar face to Nu-Who fans is part of the supporting cast,

Ian McNeice's portrayal of Winston Churchill is one of the only redeeming things about the Steven Moffat era so it'll be intresting to hear how his character interacts with the Doctor & Leela.

 

[pixletwin]

weird. So many people liked his portrayal of WC. I didn't care for it.

It was played more for laughs than a serious, historically accurate portrayal and I thought he was funny

 

[bcm77]

Tom Vs The Master, this time for Big Finish!!!,

https://www.bigfinish.com/news/Tom-Baker-Titles-Revealed

Leela Vs the Daleks should be pretty awesome as well.

With "Colony in Space" & "Day of the Daleks:Special Edition" out on DVD shortly there's plenty for non Nu-Who fans to look forward to

 

[pixletwin]

Ooooo! Tom vs. The Master would be great. Especially if it is the yucky zombie Master.

Fun fact: Geoffrey Beevers is married to Caroline John ( Liz Shaw )

The story that's been adapted from one Philip Hinchcliffe wrote during his time as producer sounds very promising, the Amazon jungle is a perfect environment for Leela to utilise her hunting skills!

 

[Darth Caedus]

Just say this...pretty hilarious

 

[Karma]

soooo...thoughts on last night's episode?

i really enjoyed it

 

[pixletwin]

I am watching it tonight.
