Dr Who, hit or miss?

[tangerinedream]

Well there's no doubt that D Who has given far more attention to 'human interest' since it's return. - Sometimes that has annoyed me and left me longing for a more adventure/sci-fi kind of feel to the storylines, but I felt that yesterday's was one that did the whole human bit very well and as such I enjoyed it muchly. Like a few others, could really have been a three parter then the resolution might not have been too sudden.

Its a kids show that can be enjoyed by adults. Judge it on that.

It won a Bafta for best drama back in May (beating Shameless, Bodies and Spooks) so I think we have a right to judge it on those terms.

I dreamt about alien invasion last night, running from summat, Jackie and Rose where there....we had to evacuate to the countryside....Oh yeah Geminni Snake was there LOL

So it's your fault I had a weird dream last night!!

I just thought it was coz of Dr Who, but maybe not!!

They were liek the 4 daleks of the apocalypse

or something

Cyberman - " There are 5 million cybermen. How many are you?"





Dalek - "Four"

top stuff

 

[Moggy]

Cyberman - " There are 5 million cybermen. How many are you?"





Dalek - "Four"

That whole chunk of dalek/cybermen dialogue was fucking classic

 

[ruffneck23]

just watch it class :coo:


shame about rose tho

 

[tufty79]

anyone reckon rose'll pop up in the torchwood spinoff (if it ever appears?)

Agree with the too much time wasted on closeups of Billy and relatives emoting to the detriment of what could have been a specacular series finale. The way the badies were defeated was simialr lame bollocks to the last Dalek spectacular. Rose dieing to save the doctor and/or planet earth would have been much better. As it was, this time the yucky love stuff left me cold becaue it seemed so calculated and therefore pretty annoying.

RTD is great at dialouge and character interplay - but he cant write a gripping adventure for shit. The last cyberman story was far better.

Overall this series has been a bit hit and miss - but always watchable (apart from the Peter Kay one - which was crap)

I wonder how long they can sustain this level of effort - top notch writers, special effects and cast + big budget? There's another series left in it - but after that?

They could show David Tennant on the bog for 50 minutes once a week, and I'd still tune in.

Not just on the bog, like, but I was thinking of something mundane. I'd be equally happy watching him have a shower, or just lying in bed, naked... I'm not fussy.

I agree Purves looks like him a bit....

Cyberman - " There are 5 million cybermen. How many are you?"





Dalek - "Four"

"You would destroy five million Cybermen with just four Daleks?"

"WE WOULD DESTROY FIVE MILLION CYBERMEN WITH JUST ONE DALEK!"

 

[Belushi]

"You would destroy five million Cybermen with just four Daleks?"

"WE WOULD DESTROY FIVE MILLION CYBERMEN WITH JUST ONE DALEK!"

The Dalek vs Cyberrmen bitching was fucking ace

 

[strung out]

"The only thing that Cybermen are better than us at... is dying!!!"



On a serious not, I have it on very good authority (from a source close to the series) that the way that the doctor's new companion will be written into the series is that she will be the cousin of the office girl who was killed by the cybermen in part one of the finale.

On a sidenote, with regards to everyone's queries regarding the number of lives that the doctor has, the answer is 13 (we are now on 10), although considering that the master managed to have at least 15 lives that we have seen through various devious means, I doubt the death of a 13th doctor would mean the end of the series. More likely, there would just be some clever plot device to enable the doctor to get a few extra lives or something.
