This mostly cocerns the new series.
If you haven't seen it, find some way to watch it, period.
Finally got a chance to watch last week's episode - pretty brillient I say, for once I honestly don't know how they're going to get out the situation they're in. (Of course they do, but I can't figure it out.)
The new Cybermen designs also look quite Bad Arse, and not "Cheesy" as the old designs did. Neat.
Looking forward to tonight's episodes.
GFHFFGHFJFSDGFH I missed today's episode!
Darn you constantly shifting Time scedules!
(will have to watch tomorrow)

I MISSED IT AND I HAVE NO SKY.
That makes a total of TWO bloody episodes of this series I have caught (The first, and last weeks)
< Well pissed off.
I watched todays episode and as far as the new series of Doctor Who, this one was pretty creepy at some parts (I won't point out for the obviouse reasons) and pretty sad at the same time. Oh and the inclusion of Trigger as John Lumic was brilliant! XD he makes one evil villain certainly.
Though next weeks episode doesn't peak too much of my intrest but I'll still watch it anyway.
Just been searching you tube for the previous few Doctor Who episodes and heres New Earth. Quality isn't amazing but I suppose if your not to fussy you can watch it. The episode is sperated into certain amounts of parts of about 10 minutes. Now no one has an excuse of not seeing the new doctor who, unless you have dial up.
New Earth
Part 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BQSXEaav84&search=doctor%20who%20new%20earth)

Part 5 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OBxsV7AqAw&search=doctor%20who%20new%20earth)
Blargh I just noticed that the other parts of the episode are next to the video, well this makes my job faster.

I'll leave it up unless the BBC specifically ask for me to kill those links. Altough they'd probably kill those files rather than here.
Girl in the Fireplace was rather cool, the Clockwork Robots were pretty cool yet cheesy yet kick-ass for villians. (Kinda like the Darleks)
Anyhoo, gotta go watch the Age of Steel, which I missed last week. ¬_¬;
Wow, it's like watching American television!

Watched Age of Steel.
Pretty cool episode, though the start of the program confuzzled me a bit. (mostly because everyone assumed he used the sonic-screwdriver, despite it never doing anything like vapourizing people before.).
Still, great episode, the scene with the "Bride to be" Cyberman was both sad and upsettingly creepy. Skin crawler.
Tommrow's looks interesting, i'll have to make sure I catch it.

Ok, I've missed far too many episodes to bother watching it now, and the amount of stress curing fags I have smoked to cure Dr Who Missing Induced Stress (DWMIS is a very well known medical affliction) has reached ludicrous levels.
Well done BBC, you and your lack of showing repeats (I dont have sky) have increased my chances of getting lung cancer!
Pity I aint American, 'cause there's probably some stupidly cretinous lawsuit possibility here.

And idoit's lantern was a great episode, although it didn't get me as quite as much as the previous Doctor Who episodes have, none the less it was a great episode. Espically liked the part when the Doctor got all serious to that kid's dad. Can't wait for the episode with the black hole, that one seems very intresting.

Sod that, it's either on my big telly or not at all!
"And the beast shall rise from the pit..."
Great episode that one, that part with that Trevor guy (okay I can't remember his name actuall) and the beast's voice telling him to not look book, yeah, spooky and very cool. Must be my third or so favourite episode of the Doctor Who new series.
TO FEED TO FEED TO FEED TO FEED...
*Title Squence suspence!*
..you. Care for some refreshments?
I don't care what anyone says, butthis is the best TV Sci-Fi ever. Everything else is shit next to this, espceially those boring American ones like Stargate that were always on before the Simpsons when it was worth watching every Sunday, as Sara Cox on Room 101 (R) pointed out. Why did the cute chick have to die though? Kill the ugly one!

Good episode, but I can't help but feel Funamentalist arseholes are going to ruin the fun for everyone and "complain". Sod them though, it was a good episode.
Great episode, actually fantastic episode, one of my favourite (or perhaps my most favourite!) in the series, although it wasn't the darkest in the series, oh no "The age of steel" and "Rise of the Cybermen" was far more darker then this one, still that didn't make the episode any less brilliant.
And did anyone else feel sorry for Mr Jefferson? poor guy wish he lived...
Nice to see an odd reference to the Daleks and also does anyone suppose Rose may meet her fate any time soon as the beast mentioned? (I hope she does mind you, started to dislike slowly as the series progressed)
Anyway next is Peter Kay! (I guy I never found funny mind you though...)

And we have a new Doctor. Gee, unless what we got was something that popped up in the middle of the ninth doctor's run then this regeneration of our favored time lord didn't last all that long. Pity really since I absolutly loved the actor's rendition(and to be honest I'm a bit luke warm at the moment about what's looking to be the tenth doctor).
Other than that, great epesode, we got to see the Daleks again!
Jeric: I presume you're watching the previous series (well, the end of it) on American telly, where they're quite far behind?
Jeric Hikari
12-06-06, 18:38
Sadly yes. making a point of not getting upset over that since, to be honest, its good that we started where we did since it allowed for a fair bit of explaining to be done about the doctor, the TARDiS, ect ect....
But it still gets on my nerves.
My favorite Doctor Who episodes were the ones featuring the fleet of Dalek ships attacking Satellite 5.
Also, who can name all of the actors who have played The Doctor.
Bonus points if you get the names in order.

That episode was great but only one problem (note this is a big spoiler) when Rose destroyed all the Daleks, it was rather anti-climatic and the whole Bad Wolf reference went down the drain...
And David Tennant is a much better Doctor IMO, Eccleston had a problem were he would get into a fit and then become all happy and marry again.
And all the doctors? William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant. Now where is my points.

That's actually a quality I rather enjoyed in Eccleston since wouldn't you kinda expect somebody who's seen and done all our good Doctor has done to be just a tad....off?
By the way, you lot can keep the scarf. I want the Doctor's jacket(as in the one Eccleston always wore)!

A tad off is all great, but it looks extreamly dumb when he was talking to the Daleks and his various enemies and then goes to being happy again, his switch between emotions sometimes ended up looking...crap. When Tennant gets pissed, boy does he show his authority far better then Eccleston and doesn't end up looking like a fool, as seen in "The idoit's lantern" and "the Chrsitmas invasion" plus, he just ends up looking cooler then Eccleston.
And how dare you insult the scarf, its a legendary Doctor Who item!
Tonights episode was bloody brilliant, dispite the completely different format of it at the start, that almost looked like it was going into a clip episode (but didn't, just for a few minutes). As expected Peter Kay was supreb, too. Yet another great episode. The next one seems to be set in London again (Groan. Of all the places in the universe they always end up there), but now they're in 2012. Big old British Olympics pluig, for sure, but there's a kid that brings drawings to life (read: 2D animation!) in it. Can't wait, and I haven't been disapointed by an episode yet, expect maybe that conclusion to the Daleks.
Also, did anyone else notice the one scene with that werid teethy creature rear the start seemed to be one big cartoon tribrute? Distracting a monster with mat, then running back and forth through random doors? HA.
Well the last two episodes of Doctor Who did disappoint, but this one, well you know what?...IT WAS BLOODY BRILLIANT! I won't say much since there are major spoilers here and there. Did anyone else find the scene with Peggy Mitchell and Den's ghost extreamly funny? I suppose it was just me XD
I can't wait for next weeks episode, this one was great and so was its end. Now hopefully Davies can end this one better then the last season finale.
Oh HELL yes. Tonight's episode was epic. The cliffhanger had be screaming at the top of my lungs "HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!"
That was truly magnificant.

Who saw the news broadcast telling who the next companion was?
I'm not quite sure how it is going to work either.

The Doctor's campanions are always bimbos (the women at least) to some decree, its Doctor Who policy so this one won't be any different (plus she appeared in Cross Roads (that doomed ITV programme) so that's telling you something) although I know Captain Jack be back to. Just hope they don't steal the limelight as Rose has been recently, such as in "Fear her" but hey if shes a success with the kids, must be a good thing.

My my, where have you been? Jack was meant to be in series 2 somewhere in the middle, but due to Torchwood, he never did thanks to conflecting scheduling and so he may appear in series 3, I say may because his schedual with Torchwood may effect his apprence along side the Doctor again since the filming has been delayed again into summer 2006 (the same as Doctor Who series 3 filming) also the actor playing Jack, John Barrowman, said that his character is apparently searching for the Doctor in the Torchwood series, so a meeting up with the Doctor again is more then likely.

I can't wait for Sunday. Doomsday is going to be great. Daleks vs the Cybermen vs the Humans. 'Tis gonna be great. But one shot on the Confidential for Army of Ghosts it looks like the Cybermen and the Humans are teaming up... so it makes it even more of a wanna see it feeling.
--Me
Pinkie Pie
06-07-06, 22:48
Well for all intents and purposes, the Cybermen ARE basically human...
So if any team up happens between them and the humanity, its because they cannot Cyber-Convert Darleks, but can Convert the humans at a later date.
Unless this discussion has already taken place - thus far my favourite episode was Age of Steel. It was definately the most chilling episode - that scene with the Bride-to-be could've brought tears to people's eyes and definately disturbed me.
Yeah Cybermen would more then likely join up with humanity, as its their more logical choice, for example, lets review the Dalek and Cybermen part again.
Cyberman: Cybermen and Daleks, together we could upgrade the universe!
Dalek: You propose a allience?
Cyberman: Positive.
Dalek: Screw you mu'fu, I'm a damn Nazi, I kill anything different!
Okay obviously the Dalek won't say that last line, but since the Daleks hate anything that is different from them, they'll probeley just avoid entering a allience with the Cybermen, who wish to upgrade the universe, while Daleks wish to exterminate the whole universe.
And on the mater of favourite episodes
2005 series - "The Unquiet Dead", "Dalek", "The Empty Child" and "The Doctor dances"
2006 series - "Tooth and Claw", "The Girl in the Fireplace", "Rise of the Cybermen" "The Age of Steel" and "Army of Ghosts" and more then likely "Doomsday" after they air it as long as it doesn't have another bloody Dues Ex Machina I'll be happy.

Woo - second Doctor!
So Doomsday then... Cybermen should win in an all out fight really, Since they have pure number and the power, we have no idea what a Dalek's gun will do to a Cyberman though... This Genesis Arc the Daleks have looks dodgy... Genesis as in beginning... Something to do with messing with time, which is never good unless a Doctor is doing it.

Daleks have force fields that can neglate any attack other then a direct hit to the eye, but that was last season. And their guns have the ability to fry and blow up Cybermen apparently, so Daleks are superior in power, mobility and intelligience.

07-07-06, 03:41
But the humans have to win, it just makes sense. All the classic episodes with the "President of Earth" and such proves that humans have to win. Just let the cybermen kill off the daleks and I would say throw golddust at all the cybermen, but that would be a lot of gold, and I doubt that would happen... well have the cybermen kill the daleks and have the humans somehow beat the cybermen.
garethfurbank
07-07-06, 11:34
Well, interesting little bit - in the 'next week' trailer bit at the end of Army of Ghosts, Rose says "You didn't have to kill him!" to which the Dalek replies "Nor did we need him alive" with the camera panning over Rose.
So is Rose somehow part of the Daleks scheme? She did wipe out their fleet beforehand, and did kinda eat the TARDIS heart... maybe theres a bit of time magicness left over in her that they want for the Genesis Arc - whatever that does.
Pinkie Pie

The Alternate Dimension Cybermen apparently have no such weakness unlike their Dr Who Dimension counterparts.
That said, I'm pretty sure the normal Dr Who Dimension Cybermen don't have the weakness of having their emotional chips being connected to one super computer and being detactivated by a simple code. :p
(Alot of people seem to ignore that the Cybermen of this series aren't the Cybermen of past series - this means the Dr Who Dimension ones still have to make an appearence in the new Dr Who. They might appear in series 3? No idea, but it would be fun having both sets of Cybermen in an episode.)
Great great great great episode, their were some things I'd like to pick out but they were easily forgetten by the end of the episode...
"Er?"
"What?"
"Who?"
"What?"
"Where I'm I? take me home right now"
Now another long wait...
We have to wait till Xmas to see what that random women in the brides dress was all about? Doh XD
Watching he Daleks and Cybermen duke it out = Priceless.

I kinda agreed with you, it ruined the whole mood with Catherine Tate appearing out of no where, then again I suppose this is what Davies meant with the cliff hanger, but in doing so messed up the whole seriousness of a companion departing. But I suppose Davies wanted to give off that wierd and comic relief feeling Doctor Who sometimes gives off.
Daleks used time warfare in the last great time war when they retaliated with time machines when the Time Lords began their war against them. They've probeley used it somewhere else to, although not so sure on this.

Well, at first one survived, then an army, then 4 + prison, then an even bigger army. Next time? something like 10 of them, then a whole double army... in fact, let's go to Skaro again! Since they love the Daleks, I think the new series needs a bit of background about the history of Daleks.
The old series did this, what with explaining about the Kaled race beign all mutated by Davros and whatnot. A huge majority don't know about the Daleks past - so I vote we go to Skaro again.

In fact, the rest of the episode more than makes up for the crappy ending.

Are we positive Skaro got destroyed too? Well if it did surely they could just pop back in time to find it.

Well the original was destroyed in the Seventh Doctor's peroid but if the the trail of The Master was taken place on Skaro then this could mean that there were indeed a second Skaro or it took place before the events of the Seventh Doctor's adventures. I believe the first and the Doctor did state that both sides were destroyed. Also the Doctor cannot go back in time, his already part of events there, then again an excuse to bring in an army of super unstoppable Daleks could easily over look that rule...

But don't you think that the Time War would wipe the existince(sp) of Gallifrey and Sakrro out of time, only making it possible to visit, when it was already visited? It's just a big problem that we might see solved in the future.
