An unearthly thread. (Doctor Who).

[Reply #160 on:]

That special was quite formulaic.

But, then again, this is Doctor Who...

[Reply #161 on:]

I need to rewatch it and actually pay attention. To it.

[Reply #162 on:]

I liked it, it filled me with happy. Matt Smith is always enough to make me happy but it was a feel good episode and I can live with that.

Plus the ending was soppy as hell and I always love the way Matt carries that off.

[Reply #163 on:]

Almost thought I was over Doctor Who after this last season (it wasn't bad, but I thought maybe I was just tiring of it all), but perhaps the break was all I needed. I actually really enjoyed the special, lots of amusing bits and witty lines from Smith. Just some good light-hearted fun, which is what I needed. I even liked the ending, as sappy as it was...the Doctor finally feels like he has a family. How sweet.

If I have one complaint, it's that there should have been more Bill Bailey and his crew.

[Reply #164 on:]

I quite liked it. Even if it didn't have enough Bill Bailey.

[Reply #165 on:]

It would be cool if that team showed up in future Doctor Who episodes. We didn't really learn much about who they were at all here.

[Reply #166 on:]

They were there to investigate the arrival of intruders on their tree farm. That was pretty clearly established.

[Reply #167 on:]

I guess I just wanted a little more. When they first showed up it seemed like they were going to be a bigger part of the special. Then they just teleported away.

[Reply #168 on:]

It seemed to me as though they wanted to do two things. Firstly, give Madge a cool toy to break. Secondly, to give Bill Bailey a cameo.

Would be nice to see that team again in future episodes.

[Reply #169 on:]

Finally got round to watching it.

Was good. Ending was touching too. I'll post more about it tomorrow when I can be bothered...

One thing though, everything seems to be rushed. Madge just seemed to help the Doctor as if he was an old man wanting to cross the road. Really?

It's World War II. An explosion, A BOMB LIKE EXPLOSION, goes off right next to you, and instead of getting up and running away in a panic, you just look up slowly and think "I'm gonna go look at that possible bomb site where the bomb could still have a risk of exploding..."

And then, a spacesuit... Now, weren't scary sci-fi spacemen stories popular in the 40s and 50s? I would of shat myself. Not gone over like "Are you okay?"

Third, would you really ask that? A man just fell from bloody space and caused an explosion like impact. "My first thought: ask him if he's okay..."

Okay I could go on about this one scene, but I'll do it another time...

[Reply #170 on:]

I think that was the whole point though....that any other person would have been terrified out of their wits, but for some reason she wasn't and had absolutely no problem with it whatsoever, treating it like it was any other day. It was meant to be humorously bizarre, and part of her character.

[Reply #171 on:]

I now have this.






I'm very pleased with the way it's turned out.

[Reply #172 on:]

I really like it. Nice work.

[Reply #173 on:]

I want it! How much money would I have to give you to get it?

[Reply #174 on:]

He can give you the link tomorrow. I gotta see all the shirts there were a couple that I want.

Awwww, look at all the cute daleks.
Although, I'm bothered by the first one a little- wouldn't the plural of "fez" be "fezzes"?
Oh who cares. Cuteness!

I want the Daleks too!! Someone get them for me quick!

* SGB prepares for harsh hurricane storm of angry posts from loyal Doctor Who fans...  

I never really saw much of Doctor Who. I've seen at the most 10 minutes... I plan on getting to it someday, as it is said to be a classic! And who's to argue? If there have been multiple references on Futurama, it must be worth a shot! I promise I'll get to it someday...I promise.

Inspector Spacetime is better.

Star Trek TNG meets Doctor Who
(Post is a tad too big)

Show spoiler

Launching in May, STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION/DOCTOR WHO: ASSIMILATION2 will feature fan-favorite villains the Borg and the Cybermen as they create an unholy alliance resulting in potential disaster for all humanity. Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise find themselves joining forces with the Doctor and his companions, with the fate of the galaxy hanging in the balance.

This eight-issue series will be written by Scott and David Tipton, the authors of critically acclaimed Star Trek: Infestation, with a helping hand from longtime Doctor Who writer Tony Lee, and will feature fully painted artwork by J.K. Woodward (Fallen Angel).

Fans are encouraged to ask their retailers about the rare wraparound photo cover. Plus, artist Joe Corroney (Star Trek Ongoing) will provide a variant cover featuring the Doctor and friends aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise.

Featuring The Doctor, Rory, Amy, Captain Picard, Worf, Data, Geordi LaForge, Deanna Troi, Will Riker and the rest. And that this art, featuring the Doctor, Rory and Amy on the bridge of the Enterprise is a cover that will be used in the series.

Doctor Who has never engaged in any such officially sanctioned crossover outside of the Doctor Who universe before. The closest was Dimensions In Time, a much derided charity telethon show which featured characters from the BBC soap opera Eastenders. Then there was Death’s Head who kinda popped in and out. Star Trek has also seen comic book crossovers with X-Men and the Legion Of Superheroes. But this is the first time that two such major competing TV sci-fi franchises have been allowed to merge in any way before.

It's been done before.

Double post but:

I only just noticed. But in the top left, is that that thing I got you?

[Reply #188 on:]

I believe it is. I have a red one for her around here somewhere. I don't actually know if they come in all the new colours. Somewhat disappointingly, they all say the same thing.

[Reply #189 on:]

Yes it is SoS. The Tardis is also there somewhere. They like to go off randomly. I get a lot of weird looks when the Dalek starts yelling "Exterminate!"

[Reply #190 on:]

I might just be being stupid, but I don't get it. What's the connection to Harry Potter beyond the Harry Potter logo stuck over the top of it?

Edit: Are they the house colours or something?

[Reply #191 on:]

Yes they are the house colors

Left to right: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin.

Speaking of Harry Potter meeting Doctor Who..

Show spoiler

Doctor Who series 7 filming began today at 2am, and on set was Mark Williams known most for his role of Mr Arthur Weasley in Harry Potter.

At 4:44pm yesterday the Doctor Who filming crew where beginning to set up and prep for filming down Church Road, which is used as Amy and Rory's house.

However Several reports stated they started filming at 2am down a totally different street, and was due to finish at 9am, however they was behind schedule and finished more near 11am. (TBC)

Because of the nature of the location of the filming and the clothes Mark was reported to have been wearing on set, it is starting to become a very big rumor that Mark Williams will be playing Rory Williams's father.



Mark Williams who has been seen on set of Doctor Who series 7 took a photo with someone called Grace Jenkins earlier today, and it allowed us to see his costume.

[Reply #193 on:]

Spoilers you fucking asshole.

Edit: Thanks Xanbro.

[Reply #194 on:]

Why would it need spoilers?

[Reply #195 on:]

It tells us what actor is going to be playing an important character we've never met before. What if the show writers try to introduce him on the show as that particular character in a surprisingly misleading way?

Anything about content of future episodes must be in spoilers.

One of those better late than never replies:

Yes it is SoS. The Tardis is also there somewhere. They like to go off randomly. I get a lot of weird looks when the Dalek starts yelling "Exterminate!"

This pleases me.

[Reply #197 on:]

The TARDIS going off is even more funner. Too bad not enough people out here watch Doctor Who.

[Reply #198 on:]

So the new companion is going to be played by
