Ashley Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 Discovering Laurie's habit was so very disappointing because I'd always presumed that Facebook was for the thick, sad and lonely Amazing. Anywho. That Doctor person...?
Sec Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) Ya davies didn't do terrible episodes jus ones that wouldnt stick in the memory for what is a) a season opener and b) over a hour long episode where im sure many different things could be happening i.e multiple storylines? Singer Lily Allen used to use Facebook but has since kicked the habit Funnier than the Onion nearly Edited April 5, 2010 by Sec
Grazza Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 ...did we watch the same episodes? Oh come on, how could you not love Season 1 and 2's finales? He only started fluffing them in Season 3, when he turned the Doctor into a little imp and everyone chanting his name gave him super powers! BUT, part 1 of that was good and Utopia is my favourite episode of all-time. Derek Jacobi showed what a true master thespian can do for a programme! Wasn't too keen on Season 4's finale either, but I loved Tennant's very final episode. As for Season openers, 1 and 2 were good, but 3 and 4's were masterful comedy capers. I'm not too sad Russell T Davies has left (after all, he wrote a lot), but I don't think anyone will match his best work.
Coolness Bears Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 Watched this the other day. The new Doctor is a douche. I love it. I prefer his scruffy look though. :p (I may contradict myself in the next sentance) Although through the episode I was like "Why isn't he wearing a bowtie, why isn't he wearing a bowtie." Bowties are win, so I approve of that! Eyes in the sky? Reminds me of something but I don't know like a low budget Sauron gone mad. Or a videogame. Blah it's annoying me Spikey eyes are not use enough anyway! Prisoner 0 was pretty lame, not very menacing but I think it was a bit throwaway just to get the new Doctor started. He impressed me and Amy did as well. I feel like there is a good connection there. lol at her wandering of the night before her wedding. BIG TIMES. I think she will be a good assistant. Also Big Lulz at her being a stripper gram. The whole episode made me want to eat apples.
soag Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 I really enjoyed it, was scared that this Matt Smith person would mess it all up, but he seems great so far and I hope it continues. Cant wait for the next episode .

BUT, part 1 of that was good and Utopia is my favourite episode of all-time. Derek Jacobi showed what a true master thespian can do for a programme! For me that whole imp part really pissed me off, it seemed he wrote himself into a situation that he actually couldnt figure out how to get him out of, and fucked together some halfassed solution. Jacobi was fantastic as the master great powerful performance from him.
Cube Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) Doctor Who -The Adventure Games The BBC has announced the production of four new 'interactive episodes' of Doctor Who which will be available from the official website, bbc.co.uk/doctorwho. These four new adventures will take the form of downloadable computer games available for PC and Mac, in which players assume control of The Doctor and Amy as they embark on new adventures which complement the new TV series. The games have been produced by a team drawing on the very best talent from TV and gaming. The interactive episodes are executive produced by Steven Moffat, Piers Wenger, Beth Willis and Anwen Aspden from BBC Wales Interactive, alongside Charles Cecil, one of videogaming's most revered creators. The games are being developed by Sumo Digital, one of the UK's best game designers. Stories and scripts are by Phil Ford, who co-wrote The Waters Of Mars and James Moran who has written for Torchwood. The project has been commissioned for BBC Online by the Vision Multiplatform team, headed up by Simon Nelson, and is being driven by BBC Wales Interactive. Matt Smith and Karen Gillan have been digitally recreated in-game, and have provided full voice-overs. Music has been provided by TV series composer Murray Gold. An additional cast will portray original characters and classic enemies. Steven Moffat, executive producer, Doctor Who, says Children don't just watch Doctor Who, they join in. They make up games, invent their monsters, create their own stories. Now, there's something else – now, they can be The Doctor in brand-new episodes. By developing these games alongside the new TV series, we've been able to weave exciting narrative strands with the very finest game design to create a new kind of Doctor Who, which can be enjoyed by the whole family. Piers Wenger, Head of Drama, BBC Wales, and executive producer, Doctor Who, added There aren't 13 episodes of Doctor Who this year, there are 17 – four of which are interactive. Everything you see and experience within the game is part of the Doctor Who universe. We'll be taking you to places you've only ever dreamed about seeing – including locations impossible to create on television. Simon Nelson, head of BBC multiplatform in Vision, saidd A few years ago, we couldn't have dreamt of commissioning such an innovative form of drama. By integrating the creation of these 'interactive episodes' with the development of the TV series, we've been able to create amazing two-hour dramas, in which you control the action. We've all imagined what it would be like to come face to face with some of the universe's most terrifying monsters – now, viewers can find out for themselves. Establishing new forms of drama is exactly what the BBC should be doing. By aiming these 'interactive episodes' at the broad audience of the TV show – unique in British television, in that it encompasses at least three generations – we're aiming to encourage the family to gather round the PC or Mac in the same way they do the television. Driving computer literacy is a keystone of the BBC's public service remit and we expect Doctor Who – The Adventure Games to be hugely popular in the homes of Britain this year. Only the BBC could produce such an innovative slice of new drama. We're offering two-hour original Doctor Who episodes to production standards on a par with the TV series, working with the very best creatives within the UK. We're hugely proud of Doctor Who – The Adventure Games, which will establish new standards in interactive drama and allow families the country over to enjoy Doctor Who stories in unique and innovative ways. Anwen Aspden, executive producer, BBC Wales Online, concludes: Doctor Who – The Adventure Games will offer the chance for Doctor Who fans to visit places they've only dreamed of, facing off against monsters they've previously had to imagine. Players will visit places which have never been shown on television – and these will go on to define the look and feel of future TV episodes. The exact titles of the four episodes are being kept secret for the time being, but the four original stories will take players on a journey throughout time and space, including one location from the Doctor Who series which has never been seen before on screen. Players will encounter new and original monsters, in stories which form part of the overall Doctor Who canon. The first episode of Doctor Who – The Adventure Games will be available to download for PC and Mac from bbc.co.uk/doctorwho in June 2010. Its title will be revealed at a special press event on 21 April in Sheffield. What they don't mention is one of the main guys on the project - Charles Cecil - is the guy who created Broken Sword. I think it sounds like they're going to be Point & Click games, and the first on is free. Hopefully they pull them off well. Edited April 8, 2010 by Cube
K-project Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 I think you mean Broken Sword? Looks like it could be fun though. I think I'd go for this more rather than the proposed Wii game that's on it's way.
Happenstance Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Well after watching tonights episode ive decided I dont like Matt Smith's "dramatic" acting at all.
Mike Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 I'm still really impressed with Matt Smith, and Stephen Moffatt pulled another corker of an episode out of the bag. I still prefer Donna to Amy as far as companions go, but apart from that, this series is far from disappointing me. Looking forward to Daleks again next week - it looks like they're doing something different with them for a change!
Raining_again Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 I'm still a bit on the fence as to whether I like his acting or not... Probably a case of missing Tennant.
Serebii Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Amy. Wet nighty. Enough Said A+++++++++++ Seriously though, it was a good episode. Not the best but good. Liked the references to the Doctor's past encounters with the monarchy and the twist at the end. Was shocked that the Doctor was so willing to just send Amy home after that.
gaggle64 Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Matt Smith is superb. Don't get me wrong, Tennant was the sex in all meanings of the word, but he already seems like a distant memory by this point. Amy. Wet nighty. Enough Said A+++++++++++ Vomit encrusted nighty you mean. Honestly, you and your fetishes.
Dante Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 This episode shows the differences between RTD and Moffat.
Daft Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 THIS ISN'T WORKING ON iPLAYER YET?!?!!! WHY GOD WHY?!!!?!?!?!!!
Raining_again Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 THIS ISN'T WORKING ON iPLAYER YET?!?!!! WHY GOD WHY?!!!?!?!?!!! I was watching it live on iplayer! Odd..
Daft Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 It says try again later and I've been trying since it ended pretty much. I would have watched it but the end of the football overlapped a bit and I didn't want to miss the beginning.
Ashley Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Up now according to the batshit crazy people on Digital Spy forums.
Retro_Link Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Matt Smith didn't half deliver the line about the Timelords in a wierd bad way!! Didn't like that bit at all! I went from liking him, to not liking him quite a few times during that episode... started off well, but I found the Tower of London scene a bit odd. Nice concept to the episode though, which overall I enjoyed. And yes, a further reference to the greater storyline right at the end... guess Serebii noticed it!... everyone else notice it?

Daft Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Really enjoyed that episode. Matt Smith was excellent. I think he's my favourite Doctor (As long as he keeps that whole mood swing thing and I-know-everything thing thing going.).
