Doctor Who --- inactive thread

I'm not sure much could be salvaged from it.
 
I enjoyed the new ep well enough. Hopefully the over-the-top quirky Dr routine is done now that he's settled in. I can do without ten minutes of him choosing food.

And thankfully, Karen Gillan's cute face helps distract from Smith's oddly cro-mag/pale Rocky Dennis face.
 
Dr Who was really very good today, my only real complaint is that I wish it was longer, I would have loved to see some more exploration of the ship.
 
I've really enjoyed the first two episodes of this series, neither have been perfect but they have been a vast improvement over anything from the last year. Matt and Karen are both great, the new tardis is growing on me (but i'd really come to like the previous console room), the only thing I really dislike is the new theme tune and titles.

The only thing I disliked about the eleventh hour was that it was another world-wide threat, but it really didn't need to be, it could have just been the village that was threatened with incineration rather than the whole world, it would have made no diference. It's just a pet peeve of mine how many times the entire population of the earth have been made fully aware of aliens.

In the beast below my only issue was that they were feeding "persons of lower worth" to the beast, including children which is evil and unnecesssary, and no one even mentioned it, and even though they knew the beast didn't eat children they continued to send them below and erase their memories! I think you can infer that these children would go on to become the winders (the half-human, half-smiler people) which would just about justify their continued child snatching but it seemed very odd that no one questioned it.
 
The new Daleks are a bit on the YMCA side for me.

Smith is excellent and Gillan steals alot of the scenes. Pleasant on the eye too.
 
Two words: Rainbow Daleks.
The Daleks episode didn't do much for me, but the first Weeping Angels episode is brilliant, I'm really looking forward to Saturday's episode.

The funny thing is, I distinctly remember rainbow Daleks being for sale as remote-controlled toys a couple of Christmases ago. I thought they were a bit odd then, and they were the first things I thought of when I saw the episode.

I've been introducing my wife to Doctor Who through the new series. She's having a lot of fun with it, as am I (I watched Pertwee, Tom Baker, and Davison all the time on PBS, and I saw Colin Baker at a convention once, but I only saw a few each of Eccleston and Tennant). We both agreed, though, that the Dalek episode, while good, was the least impressive so far. For me, a bit too much of the Doctor doing literally nothing, and the planes, while cool, felt a bit too self-consciously Star Wars/Independence Day. Also, that has to be the largest actor in history ever to play Churchill...not that he was bad, mind you, but he was sort of Churchill and a half...

Agreed about Weeping Angels, though. I love Disembodied Sacred Bob, and it was great to see Iain Glen, though it took me a while to recognize him. Can't wait to see part two.
 
The ending was a bit of a deus ex machina, but I don't think that's the last we'll be seeing of the crack in the wall.

Congratulations, Ripplin (and none). On another note i need all 3 covers so i can put them on the main site.
 
Thanks, AvP! I'll send you the other two covers soon.

Will the discs themselves be uploaded to Megaupload? I'm not sure of your method, time-wise. (Frink is interested, but not newsgroup-enabled, for instance)
 
You would have to send me the discs, i only have a few GB's left on Newsgroups and no funds to buy more at the moment.
 
Ok, we'll discuss that in the next PM. (in a few minutes)
 
Ok covers are up, have you got anything else in the works?
 
Anything else? Not that I know of. Haha.
 
At the moment yes, but Ripplin is kindly sending me the discs.
