900 Going On 11th Incarnation - Doctor Who

[Reply #360 on:]

The phone in the TARDIS is the same one used at the Torchwood Institute in Army of Ghosts.

Also, this series needs more pretty one Rory! Oh, Rory.

TOTP What? There's nothing here.

[Reply #361 on:]

So Doctor Who finally have a Twitter account! =P

Hm, that ep was very strange indeed, a Castle in the middle of the Ocean that recieves Solar Storms and works with clones and acid? Sweet. Was a good ep, looking forward to next weeks. =P

[Reply #363 on:]

I think that episode has 2 parts (the one that aired today)

[Reply #364 on:]

It had better!

[Reply #365 on:]

Um, didn't you watch the Next Time preview? Didn't you know it was confirmed to be a 2 parter months ago? Didn't you know that they aren't retarded enough to just end a 1 parted episode like that?

Also, 23 teasers for 'The Almost People'! And these are spoiler free, but as I said, some of you can't tell the difference between a spoiler and a teaser, so spoiler tags it is! ¬_¬

Show spoiler

1. It’s a compelling, solid action/adventure episode, with a few irritating moments that don’t quite gel and some lapses in logic. If anything, it feels a little small scale and never really steps up a gear to a level you’d expect from a two-parter, but at least that means it can deal with its themes a little more thoroughly and concentrate on the characters.

2. The denoument is character based rather than technobabble based

3. The last couple of  minutes are riveting.

4. The Doctor has a great John Culshaw moment

5. There’s some new footage – not just “story so far” clips – before the opening credits

6. Random words from the script: “Breathe” “Yowzer” “Mirage” “Bad boy” “Bisucuits” “Burnt onions” “Pop”

7. There’s a very Dali moment

8. The Doctor appeals to someone’s better nature

9. Rory makes a mistake

10. There’s a lovely reference back to “The Doctor’s Wife”

11. The Doctor is very scary at a couple of points

12. Amy voices something that may have been on the veiwers’ minds if they’ve been following the series

13. The theme of prejudice and the nature of the gangers are explored in a number of effective dialogue exchanges

14. The Doctor once won a bet in a very unusual fashion

15. The Doctor asks Amy to do something he also asked her to do in the last series

16. Some waste product has a profound affect on Rory

17. There are some very icky FX

18. Somebody has a big mouth

19. The music at one point is very Blade Runner

20. The TARDIS makes a very unusual landing

21. By the end of the episode you be left trying to work out when something that clearly happened actually happened

22. There’s a very random balloon

23. The TARDIS is better medically equipped than in “Curse Of The Black Spot”.

Like does a Teaser Trailer for a movie spoil the plot of the film for you? No. So teasers aren't spoilers.

[Reply #366 on:]

Well, yes: Teaser Trailers for movies do spoil them for me to some degree.

[Reply #367 on:]

How, some teasers show absolutely nothing to do with the main product, for example the Dead Island teaser.

[Reply #368 on:]

Also, 23 teasers for 'The Almost People'! And these are spoiler free, but as I said, some of you can't tell the difference between a spoiler and a teaser, so spoiler tags it is!

You're revealing details that wouldn't have been known otherwise until we'd watched the episode. Therefore they are spoilers.

Big, fat spoilers. Teaser = spoiler. Spoilers are information about the future.

Well Teasers aren't Spoilers, but some of you can't tell the difference...

Anything that gives away information relating to the plot is a spoiler. Anything that gives away information about the arc or leads the audience to a certain expectation is a spoiler.

Teasers are spoilers - albeit fragmentary ones. Get off your high horse, and go register at Outpost Gallifrey, if it's still going.

If you want to discuss episodes in advance of their airdate, I sugges you do so at a Doctor Who forum where this sort of thing has its own sub-board.

[Reply #369 on:]

Not really, if it says something like 'THE DOCTOR DIES!' then it is, but these are vague spoilers, like fragments of dialogue and random parts of the ep that make no sense without a back story.

[Reply #370 on:]

Not really

No, really. Please stop being a humongous tool. Please. It's not helping anybody, and it may actually be hurting people. A spoiler is a spoiler is a spoiler. For fuck's sake, take the goddamn hint and stop posting them. I really, really, really want to punch you in the face right now. Hard.

[Reply #371 on:]

Anything that hasn't aired as part of an episode is a spoiler. This includes "Next Time" previews, adverts, web sneak peeks, whatever. If it's not in the main body of the episode, it's a spoiler. This is seriously not hard to understand.

You may not see it that way, but it's the agreed-upon definition, so please respect other fans' feelings and leave those things at the door. Even posting them behind spoiler tags may lead to discussion that accidentally spoils something for someone. It may seem overly-sensitive (and in truth it's not a huge deal to me) but there are plenty of places that eat up spoiler talk and it's often kept separate from general discussion for a reason - different people like to consume their media in different ways.

[Reply #372 on:]

in summary, you suck, now shut the hell up!

Doctor who is now too scary to be a kid's show, but they keep telegraphing the "twists" so hard so it still counts as a kid show right?

[Reply #373 on:]

Have you ever met a kid? They love this sort of thing, the macabre little terrors.

[Reply #374 on:]

Jesus Christ, it's all been posted in spoiler tags. How about you don't click on them.

Thanks for those posts Danny. I enjoy reading the teasers, it's fun to watch the ep afterwards and have those "Oooooh!" moments when you realise what they were hinting at.

[Reply #375 on:]

I understand that some people enjoy the teasers as it helps whet their appetite for the eps and that's great.  As long as they're hidden in spoiler tags it's no skin off my back.

[Reply #376 on:]

Yes, but this entire discussion re; spoilers has arisen because Danny doesn't seem to think that these particular spoilers should have to be in spoiler tags.

Which is irritating me to the point of wanting to give him a good smack. I don't want to have to avoid this thread.

YES! Finally some of you understand!

[Reply #378 on:]

The issue wasn't you posting them in tags or not. The issue was you were saying they were "teasers" and thus didn't need tagging.

You have promise as a poster, but your youth is showing. Please think before you post.

[Reply #379 on:]

I do think! And even the site that posted these 'Spoilers' says that they are spoiler free!

I have promise as a poster, pfft, I've been here for 2 years on and off now!

[Reply #380 on:]

Is speculation permitted? 'Cause this latest episode is chock full of indications that the Doctor knows exactly what he's doing here. Even down to wanting to drop off Amy and Rory before going ahead with it.

[Reply #381 on:]

I wouldn't risk it Xanfor, even if you mention the word 'Spoiler' you'll get told off... ¬_¬

[Reply #382 on:]

Speculating and "teasing" are two separate things entirely. One means you don't know anything, the other means you know something.

There was something funny about the Doctor's reaction to the technology. Are they something we've already seen?

[Reply #383 on:]

I think they're something that the Doctor has already seen, certainly. Perhaps forerunners of the Autons?

[Reply #384 on:]

No, the Flesh is an entirely new concept. But, the Doctor does know about it, and arrived intentionally in order to do something. (Possibly to create his own ganger?) Watch him closely and listen to what he says. He went to that island on purpose, and doesn't want his companions to know this.

[Reply #385 on:]

Think the ganger might be what got shot?

[Reply #386 on:]

That is a possibility, although the Doctor wouldn't have created the ganger to simply take his place like that, not with the respect he has for life. It could be that the ganger ends up dying by accident, whether killed by the astronaut or not, or... The original Doctor does die, and the ganger, identical in every respect once stabilized, takes over the show.

Or maybe one of them dies, but we never actually find out which was the duplicate.

[Reply #387 on:]

I think the Doctor that got shot being the Ganger is a bit too obvious, and as many people have said, Mr. Moffat isn't like that.

[Reply #388 on:]

does this forum have a "hide user" function?

[Reply #389 on:]

Who do you want to hide?

[Reply #390 on:]

This season has been a lot of fun so far.

Just had a thought about the little girl fromt the first two episodes, which I am sure has already been shot down as an idea.

Show spoiler

but did we ever find out what happend to the Doctor's daughter from season 4, I know when she died and came back she did not really regenerate but it could be her.  Granted I am not sure why she would regenerate to a child but it is just a thought.

[Reply #391 on:]

I've wondered about that myself.

[Reply #392 on:]

Well, there is

Show spoiler

a girl in Episode 7 called Jenny, but it could be the one from Rebel Flesh and Almost People...

Also, they've just released 10 more teasers/spoilers for tonight's ep, but I'm not even going to bother mentioning them. Ignore this.

[Reply #393 on:]

How many parts does this episode have?

[Reply #394 on:]

Was I the only one willing Rory to say "now, now, perfectly symmetrical violence never solved anything"  ?

[Reply #395 on:]

At least 3.

I would have if it had even crossed my mind. I was so absorbed in the episode and talking to SoS I didn't even think about it.

[Reply #396 on:]

Was I the only one willing Rory to say "now, now, perfectly symmetrical violence never solved anything"  ?

Me too!

[Reply #397 on:]

the episode only has 2 parts the end was just a cliff hanger for the next 2

[Reply #398 on:]

It's technically a 3 parter, but the storyline and setting for the 3rd part is different.

Anyway, loved last night's, not gonna enjoy the long wait for Episode 8 through Summer after next Sat...

[Reply #399 on:]

Yeah that sucks that they are making us wait. Why are they doing that?
