triforcemario Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Great episode, perhaps the best Dalek episodes of the new series (2005/6/7) so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triforce_keeper Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I warmed to Dalek Sec's character Yeah he was a nice Dalek haha :P But how cud the Doctor hold on to that pole for all that time? Super glue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Doctor Glue, he's magic like that. Can't believe he dropped his screwdriver though, amateur! You'd think he'd have learnt something simple like holding onto it at a crucial moment given the amount of adventures he's been on and how long he's been around! Silly doctor. As for the episode, I liked it. I was never a big doctor who fan before this recent revival(i can only remember the 1996 telemovie, and barely) and I haven't watched it religiously(i did rather like torchwood though), I tend to not like the dalek episodes, for such a deadly race the doctor seems to live alot, and they seem a bit pants like. I dunno, maybe it's just me. I did like how today's ended though, also like that last dalek basically giving the doctor a big 'fuck you' and teleporting away, classy.

Mr. Bananagrabber Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Ugh, that was pretty painful to watch for the most part. I quite liked the Hybrid, but almost everything else seemed a bit off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokhed00 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I now await Rokheds enraged banter. At least Martha got to use her medical training, even if the extent of it was knowing one end of a bandage from the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 The Doctor takes Martha back home to her family to allow her to complete her medical studies. Meanwhile, Martha's sister Tish is working for Dr. Lazarus, a 76-year-old scientist who develops a device that alters his DNA and de-ages his entire body. However, trouble arrives in the form of the villainous Lady Thaw, who tries to steal the de-aging device and obtain immortality for herself. But it is soon clear that the kindly Dr. Lazarus is more than meets the eye, and human DNA begins to twist into monsterous form...Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the Doctor, the wheels of a deadly trap have been set in motion.

Ashley Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Actually, it's "Dalek-Caan". I still presume, due to the pronounciation, its meant to be a p.c.r. Or at least thats how im interpretting it. Oh dear mighty (or something like that) reading what Dante just posted looks like we're in for another fantastically crap p.c.r. next week with 'Lazarus'. Yeah I don't really watch the show for the narrative, just to pick about these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rokhed00 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I was hoping for The Doctor to scream "Caaaaaaaaaaaaaan". Don't think Tennant has the emotional range to pull it off, his attempts at anger so far have been very unconvincing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus was re-born, this guy is making himself younger which is near enough a rebirth. From the trailer it seems that he is doing it to feel young again, thus to be re-born into your younger self.

I had a coupla Jehova's witnesses 'round on Saturday. I told them they weren't my dad. Anyway... David Tennant is a bloody good actor, even if Dr. Who is just mediocre, no-brains telly.

rokhed00 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 David Tennant is a bloody good actor I don't agree, his emotional range is extremely stilted, at his most angry/hateful he doesn't look like anybody has done anything worse than spill his pint, I mean glass of wine, despite being scottish he doesn't look like he could drink his way in to a wet paper bag.

Mike Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Bad news - next week's Doctor Who (the episode after Lazerus, that is) has been delayed by a week, just so we can all watch Scooch come last in Eurovision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Apparently ratings always take a dip when there's an early start. The Dalek ratings weren't that great to begin with, so I don't think they want them any lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dalek ratings weren't that great to begin with, so I don't think they want them any lower. So what about the repeat, Dr Who Confidential, Totally Doctor Who and the Doctor Who Magazine. All of which are dependant on the episode getting shown on time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
