UK Legend Killa Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 It was a pretty decent episode with a curveball thrown in for good measure (as usual with RTD). Better than the Kylie episode at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue 3 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I enjoyed it. Better than the last 2 xmas specials for me. Morrisey was good - I thought there was some great banter between him and Tennant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripsbacks Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I really enjoyed it! I think it was better than last year's Christmas special. David Morrisey was a pleasure to watch. If he actually gets the part it would be very exciting indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue 3 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Yes, I also thought Morrisey was a good Doctor, and hope that he gets the nod to replace Tennant. I liked the sequences early on when Tennant was being Morrisey's companion and asking all the questions. The comment Tennant says when he's trying to find out how he dies to become Morrisey's Doctor was good - "No wait don't tell me! I just home it's not embarrassing like me falling over or something!" Very enjoyable episode. No preview of the next special, but it was called "Planet of the Dead" and according to the fountain of knowledge that is Wikipedia, features UNIT.

Tank Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I don't think Morrisey will be the next Doctor-- they clearly said that he wasn't the next regeneration, just a man who was imprinted with the Doctor's history from the info-stub.

Transducer X Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I don't think Morrisey will be the next Doctor-- they clearly said that he wasn't the next regeneration, just a man who was imprinted with the Doctor's history from the info-stub. And undergoing a psychogenic fugue due to the unbearable grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue 3 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Yes - that was very clear. Obviously I wasn't talking about his character from the xmas special - I was attempting not to give anything away to those who have not seen the episode yet. Doesn't stop the actor from becoming the next doctor. Colin Baker played a different character that shot the 5th Doctor, before eventually becoming the 6th Doctor. I enjoyed his performance alot (Morrisey not Baker!!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripsbacks Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Speaking of the new Doctor, doesn't production for season 5 start in the mid summer? I assume we should know something within the next several months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.CAllen Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Eh. I liked it a little but couldn't be bothered to watch it all the way through to the end. Apparently I missed some sort of giant Cyberman mecha filled with orphan children smashing up London town so I might go back and look at the rest of it sometime in the faraway future.

I see....hopefully that means a plot with not a single thread connected to Rose! Cool if Martha returns in this story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyGuinevere Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I enjoyed it. Yeah, it wasn't the most amazing episode ever, but it was good fun. Although I enjoyed his performance, I hope David Morrissey isn't the next doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the trumpet player 2 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 It's rumoured the new Dr might be black. I've also been told from a friend of Morrisey's that he has been offered the part for the next series and he hasn't made a decision yet. Then again this same person also told me he got down to the last two choices for Bond. I think an older Dr would be better, someone like Tom Baker. I can't watch Tennant, I think he's totally crap in the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justus Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I can't watch Tennant, I think he's totally crap in the role. Really? Curious, what did you find so bad about Tennant? Personally, I thought he was a major improvement over Eccleston, who portrayed the Doctor as some petulant, sexless troll with athiestic leanings--making him one of the worst since Colin Baker and the TV movie's Paul McGann.

the trumpet player 2 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I've seen Tennant in other roles and it's not that he's a bad actor, he's just so unnatural in his performance as the Doctor. (So was Eccleston). His facial expressions are really way over the top and annoying. It's like he tries to smile the way Tom Baker does etc... I'd like Doctor Who if it had a decent production value, it has the potential. I think overall it's badly directed, badly lit, the music is awfull, and there is no excuse for how bad the CGI is. They should go with someone atleast over 50 for the Doctor, and stop aiming it at kids and make it more for grown ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuckinarut Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 That Confidential show was well put together, hyping up past Doctors and building to it. Felt strange how they had the producer talking and then went straight to Smith. I haven't seen any of his work, but he looks a decent actor. Hopefully he'll be a pretty good Doctor. He needs a haircut first though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue 3 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I know. Real surprise. He has that odd look about him that works, but 26? Looking forward to watching some of the shows he has been in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
