Jack Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 That was fantastic. Partly because it made all the of the "It's a War of the Worlds rip-off!" people look like massive idiots. Anyone catch the pictures of some past Doctors in his book? No Tom Baker or Jon Pertwee to be seen tho! Those past Doctors in full: http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h101/DoomsdayZone/WHOWHO.gif
Tellyn Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 I caught Paul McGann when I watched it yesterday but none of the others. Did anyone think the ending was very Spider-Man? Reminded me of the bit where the Green Goblin has the bus full of children and Mary Jane, and makes him choose which one to save (or Gwen Stacey and Mary Jane).
gaggle64 Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 That episode was fantastic. So what with that little kid? Has inherited some the doctors powers now or what? A new generation of time lord that has been kept hidden by some force? This could turn the whole thing upside down.

Reminded me of the bit where the Green Goblin has the bus full of children and Mary Jane, and makes him choose which one to save (or Gwen Stacey and Mary Jane). Its a fairly conventional storytelling device, happens all over the place. Think it happened on Buffy and I'm sure on others I just can't think of.
harribo Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Rokhead not criticised it yet? It must have been good. Can't wait till next weeks.
Ashley Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Or perhaps, judging by his recent post in "Post Your Purchases" hes busy?
Tellyn Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 He's on weed, he's possibly under the illusion that he liked the episode and that he'd like to make man love to RTD.
Happenstance Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 Yeah I enjoyed it aswell. Thought Jessica Stevenson did a good job, especially since im so used to her in comedy.
KKOB Posted June 2, 2007 Author Posted June 2, 2007 WHY THE HELL did the doctor get all evil on the family's bum bums? It's not the doctor to be vicious and cruel like that. Nice ending if it wasn't for that huage oversight. Can someone explain how he can be so mean to them?
Calza Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 Don't blink mates. I really want to see next weeks episode just to understand what he was on about.
Dante Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 Blink Sypnosis: In an old, abandoned house, the Weeping Angels wait. However, when people start disappearing, a young woman called Sally finds cryptic messages bleeding through from 1969 – messages from a mysterious stranger called the Doctor. But can she decipher them before the Angels claim their prize? Whatever you do, listen to the strange man inside the TV set: DON'T look away, DON'T turn your back, and whatever you do, DON'T blink

He aims to protect life and avoid conflict, but cross him and he'll happily wipe out an entire race of beings. He's like a time traveling Dr. Tran: One step over that line and he'll fuck you up.

He's always been soooo carefully in the middle between being a no nonsense evil killer of species and on the other hand a compassionate dude. I didnt feel like it went with how his character has been portrayed during this series and previous ones.
Guest Jordan Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 Dr. Tran: One step over that line and he'll fuck you up. YES, YES, YES.
DanielTimothy Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 I have to say I thought tonights episode was fantastic. GET IT IN THE JAR JORDAN.

LegoMan1031 Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 From what i have read from the synopsis for next weeks episode 'blink' it sounds like it's one of them episodes that shows how the doctor can alter peoples lives without having him in the whole episode 'properly' like the one with Peter Kay in from the last series.
welsh_gamer Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Just watched last nights. Loved it! And I cried for some unknown reason! Rather scary (all the kids shoting the Scarecrows) and mature for the many under 10's who are big Who fans tho.

Hopefully it's not shite like "Love & Monsters" was. Moffat's doing it, so it'll probably be fantastic. Speaking of fantastic, that's what this 2-parter was.
gaggle64 Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Genesis of the Daleks says otherwise. No it doesn't. He reaches a decision where he can destroy the Daleks, but realises he would only be as bad as them, which is pretty much the conflict in a nutshell. In this instance he chose to meerly entomb them, and somehow I get the impression he doesn't feel it was the best decision he ever made. He's less forgiving these days.

Speaking of fantastic, that's what this 2-parter was. Lol. Yer this weeks 2-parter was good. I also liked how it had that kinda underlying theme of how the first world war effected the kids that had to go to war showing them crying etc. Should of given em some whisky i say! (sayin that though, 2much and they may have laughed at the scarecrows...)
Guest Jordan Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 Wow, what a fantastic episode! I really enjoyed it, suspenseful and great writing. Also Carey Mulligan (who played Sally Sparrow) fucking hot.
