Ryn Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Just left the panel at Comic-Con. I'm very confident that the show is in good hands. Spoiler! --Click here to view--They showed a longer promo for the Christmas episode. The rumor bears out that the words "The Return" refer not to the Cybermen but rather to the woman in red shown just after those words. She is featured far more prominently. So. . . The Rani?

Ryn Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Oh, and during the Q&A one person had attended a Neil Gaiman reading. Gaiman had mentioned/hinted at/wished to write with Moffat. Moffat didn't dismiss the opportunity. (I can't recall exactly how it was phrased. Sorry.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I ******* HATE THE SCI-FI CHANNEL! Last week, they show the Doctor regenerating during the preview of this week’s episode and after tonight’s, instead of just the “To be continued,” they show Doctor Ten running around being the Doctor. Combine this with the horrible edits they have done (still no word on the length of the finale), I truly hope Doctor Who finds a new home in time for the 2010 series. It’s quite obvious that those in charge of the programming have no respect for this show. I’ll say it again, I hate the Sci-fi channel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire73 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I hate 2 admit it, but I was crying like a baby at the end of the show. I thought Tennant was a goner, and I was not happy about it. I was happy to see he will make it, but pissed they blew nxt week's epi for me. Glad I wasn't the only one cheesed about that. That's what I like about BBCAmerica showing Who. They may edit the heck out of it, but they don't spoil the following episode for ya. Ho well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue 3 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Oh man - gutted for you guys. That was a massive cliffhanger and there was literally no hint on what was happening the next week. The press had not had any preview copies, and even "The Stolen Earth" episode that you have just watched, stopped on the press copies before the regeneration started.

Sapphire73 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 It was a downer already knowing, but I was still able to enjoy the epi. I can understand why they madeSpoiler! --Click here to view-- Doctor Two It gives the Spoiler! --Click here to view--Rose/Doctor shippers what they want, and gives the writers a reason not to ever drag that character back again. It seemed like a family reunion episode, but it did have it's good points Spoiler! --Click here to view--Pros 1. The effects are still a lil' cheese, but they are improving 2. Mickey kissing his gun, loved it 3. Rose and the Doc recognizing Gwen. Thought that was a nice touch 4. Tosh lending a hand from beyond the grave 5. Davros. Never had seen him in previous incarnations, but I found him quite effective if not a bit underused 6. Daleks speaking German!!!! 7. The Doctor as Donna and Donna as the Doctor. Oy! 8. Knocking Daleks on their a**es 9. Donna all over Cpt Jack. He is a hottie, isn't he? And last but not least..... The brilliant performances from Tennant, Tate, and Bernard Cribbins as grandpa Wilf. I loved that character, and I'm gonna miss him terribly!!! Cons 1. The Rose storyline. Didn't seem it necessary except to wrap her story arc and bring Mickey back. 2. Osterhagen (sp?) key bit. Again, was it needed? 3. Towing the Earth home? Ugh 4. Everyone steering the TRADIS? Kinda lame, especially when Martha looked right into the camera 5. Daleks ONCE AGAIN part of the finale 6. The regeneration bit. I know why they did it, but still a cop-out And the worst part of all..... The end of Donna's storyline. She and Tennant played it beautifully, but I still didn't think it was fair. All her adventures, everything she did for the Doctor and for the universe, and she'll never know. I'd rather have seen her die happy as a hero with the Doc than see her back to her ordinary life. She has been my favorite companion so far (and I thought I was gona hate her LoL), and I thought she deserved better. I've probably left out alot, but that's what's on my lil' mind at the mo.

Tank Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I'm sure we haven't seen the last of Donna. After all, Rose was on another world TRAPPED OMG FOREVER NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN. and yet there she was. In the world of sci-fi there's always a way.

Justus Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I'm sure we haven't seen the last of Donna. After all, Rose was on another world TRAPPED OMG FOREVER NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN. and yet there she was. In the world of sci-fi there's always a way. There's a way...but even sci-fi can stretch things to silly or unnecessary levels. For the sake preserving Donna's effective, dramatic arc, the PTB should leave well enough alone...or at most, have the Doctor learn (in a passing comment or whatever) Donna moved on with her life in a positive way, but please, no second acts. Oh, and though it was great to see what could be called...The Justice League of Gallifrey (technically, only one is from the planet, but...) no more big team-ups for at least another 4 series. Its funny. I know a lot of Rose fans, but if I had to rank my favorite companions, Donna and Martha are sort of tied for 1st place, with Rose coming in a somewhat distant second; Donna & Martha were just more earthy and insightful without the sweeping, dominant romantic plots of Rose, Mickey and the Doctor....it was well written here and there (ex. The Age of Steel, Boom Town, etc.) but i'm glad the Rose Book of Romance is closed. ..and regarding Billie Piper's comment (paraphrasing) that we may not have seen the last of Rose? Please. No more.

Sapphire73 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I agree. I don't want her returning here and there. You should have stayed put! Just go back to hooking, and leave Who alone!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justus Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Now, if Donna can't handle being a Time Lord where's that leave Ace? Are you talking about the audio drama Death Comes to Time? If so, from what i've heard, Ace did not go through some drastic "upgrade" of the mind with Time Lord knowlegde never meant for humans as in Donna's case.

Ryn Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Anyone have anything new? (But the show starts again with the Christmas Special, right?) I'm going through withdrawals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justus Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Anyone have anything new? (But the show starts again with the Christmas Special, right?) I'm going through withdrawals. Aside from the Christmas special, we will have to go cold turkey until Tennant's return (from stage) in 2010. There was a rumor about another special or two for '09, but I have not read anything confirming it. I just hope the next series will be worth the wait (meaning no more Rose or Jackie, damn it!!).

There are to be four specials, the first of which is Chistmas 2008, and I think the others are at various points in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the trumpet player 2 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I've expressed before how much I hate this show, I think it's piss poor in every department except for some of the writing, so I won't troll. Anyway, I know the next Doctor, I don't just mean I know who is playing him, I actually know the actor who is playing him in the xmas special. I think he'll really suit the part too.

Transducer X Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 So how do you know Dave? Because it's old news that the xmas special is called "The Next Doctor" and is starring David Morrissey as a man pretending to be the Doctor in Victorian England. See here for more info/spoilers. EDIT - Oh, I misunderstood. Yea, how do you know him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the trumpet player 2 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I've met him at a networking event, and I'm currently doing some work for a client who is involved with his film company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 It's official-- Tennant is out! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7698539.stm I won't lie-- I'm bummed. I think the guy is awesome, and is by far my favorite Doctor. But that said-- I ALWAYS feel this way. I was super bummed when Eccelson left, and didn't know Tennant from Adam when he started and was prepared to dislike him. He won me over, just like the rest did. He's on for the four specials next year, meaning he's leaving the same time Russell Davies is. With all his storylines tied up, that really gives Mr. Moffat a blank slate to work with, which should be cool. No idea if the "next Doctor" is actually the Doctor Moffat will use, or if he is meant to be further down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justus Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 This SUCKS. He was at #2 on my all-time favorite Doctors list. I would almost rather see the series end than a replacement.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Anyone else want to throw out Doctor ideas? I think Kevin McKidd would be a cool pick if they wanted somebody on the dark side. If they wanted an older Doctor, Bill Nighy would be really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
