Doctor Who - Spoilers!

The Master news has got me so pumped. I showed my son that picture and his eyes lit up, he then ran upstairs and grabbed his Laser Screwdriver! When he came down he says "So The Master kills the tenth Doctor!" to which I replied, "but what if they're not fighting? What if they team up? They are the last of the Time Lords, afterall." to which he said "The Master is a bad guy! Are you crazy?!?"

No. Just a softie...

I know Dave doesn't read this thread because of spoilers, but that image makes a good case for allowing images in the spoiler tags...

Whilst sitting here writing yet another review, I just saw the trailer again, defo looked very 'Pitch Black' without the darkness... if that makes sense, the funny thing is the bus they were all sitting on looked liked the one I go to work on every day?

Ding, ding... tickets please!

The guy who took the pic (alun vega) also said as the cast were leaving there were two women with coats pulled over their heads.

Anyone wanna guess who they were?

My guess Lucy Saxon and Donna Noble.

Nice to see the BBC have found a way to improve Donna's appearance,now they just need to shove a load of socks in her mouth and it'll be like she's not even there

Wookster,
A Pitch Black vibe? is that a reference to the Void that Tennant's "acting" disappears to when he's trying to be serious?

 

[Memnoch]

We know you don't like the show as it is now.. but it's starting to come off as just trolling.

OK,

The specials will be the best Who stories ever,Tennant will get an exit that befits the greatest Doctor of them all and in general the whole thing will be another masterpiece from the genius that is RTD.

Is that more like the type of comment you consider acceptable?

 

[Memnoch]

Nope, not in the slightest, but when there's nothing of substance to add than whats been said by you ad nauseam, why not just bow out?

Because I keep hoping to find something,anything about the new episodes that could persuade me to give it another chance and be more positive about it again.

I really wish I could "get" why everyone else seems to think it's been so great over the last couple of years and it's frustrating because prior to that Nu-Who was one of the only things on TV that I considered worth watching.

Having all the 2nd-4th Doctor stories that have been released on DVD is great but it'd be nice to have some all new stories in my collection beyond series 1 as well.

It may be just me, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that was

Corect-o-mundo.

 

[Memnoch]

Bittersweet as it hurts what I think was one of the better moments of last series.

 

[pixletwin]

I don't.

Donna's "exit" never felt like an exit. The dialogue between Ten and Sylvia always suggested to me that there was going to be more.

 

[barbelith]

Of course there was going to be more. This is RTD Doctor Who. Nobody dies, and nobody leaves forever. There was always going to be a big reunion in the end, and the very same episode Donna gets her memories erased is a major example of this.

 

[pixletwin]

Well I actually think Wilf will die.

Bittersweet as it hurts what I think was one of the better moments of last series.

I would tend to agree with that. The heartbreaking moment just lost some of its magic

 

[Memnoch]

I honestly think her character was the best full series companion we've seen since the series was revived. She had a clear, well defined change and then you saw it taken away and put back to where she was before the Doctor. Despite what anyone says about the personal tastes, I think she really brought something special to the show and hope they can do it again in bringing her back.

It's funny, at first I considered not watching season 4 because of Catherine Tate, yet I would tend to agree that she was excellent. Rose was sort of a doey eyed child looking up to the Doctor, while Martha was never what I thought she was going to be (there really was no point to her being a "doctor" herself if they never really allowed her to show how smart she really was). Donna was the one companion who really wasn't in "awe" of who the doctor was or what he could do.

Totally agree 100% I could not stand Donna from the beginning. Series 4 took me on a journey that slowly made me change my mind and just when I joined the Donna Noble fan club, they took it all away.

Such wonderfully tragic storytelling, I hope it doesn't get spoiled.

I felt the same with Rose. The ending to Doomsday was absolutely perfect and it was ruined by series four.

I agree. I hated her in The Runaway Bride but in series four she was brilliant.

 

[pixletwin]

Ditto. Didn't like her in Runaway Bride but did a complete 180 during series 4.
