RE: Dr Who - biggles - 30-09-2015 21:16 Comedy Daleks would go along with most of them since DT's Dr. RE: Dr Who - Doddle - 02-10-2015 13:19 Been a new spin-off series "Class" announced, to be premiered on BBC Three in 2016, written by Patrick Ness, set in Coal Hill School. So, pretty much a Sarah Jane Adventures sort of thing, and about as welcome. RE: Dr Who - biggles - 02-10-2015 14:52 I quite liked the Sarah Jane adventures - anything with Liz Sladden in was worth watching. Jenna Louise Coleman for Class then once she finishes on Victoria for ITV? RE: Dr Who - M-L-L - 03-10-2015 16:00 Wasn't intending to, but accidentally caught the end of the 2nd new Dalek episode on the BBC 3 repeat. I mean, I'm just a curmudgeon that's predisposed not to like new Who, and I could well have totally misunderstood it, given that'd I'd not watched episode 1 or 95% of episode 2 ... BUT... Spoiler Clara inside/becoming a Dalek ? Have we not done this to death already ? Matt Smith episode ? Asylum of the Daleks ? and Spoiler The Doctor goes back in time and saves a boy, presumably supposed to be Young Davros, so that Clara can be saved in the future ? Show mercy to Davros, and that gives him the vital clue to know it's Clara inside the Dalek ? I think that's supposed to be the idea anyway. I assume it was set up in the earlier episode to show the Doctor deliberately abandoning the Young Davros and leaving him to die, so that - along with needlessly pretending to kill off Clara and the Mistress(? no idea what are we supposed to call it/him/her now ?) the season opener could give an impression off, like, "cool - darker Doctor - everybody dies - right on". Now OK I have a general problem with the concept of a "darker Doctor" generally, I'm not sure it works as he still essentially needs to be the hero of his own series imo; but also : I think making this the Doctor's motivation for changing his mind and rescuing the Young Davros is way off and way too "human" and selfish and "dumbed down" . It negates Tom Baker's more philosophical position from Genesis of the Daleks which I believe these episodes had the temerity to resurrect in a clip at one point as if to show they were expanding this legacy ? Surely the whole point of Tom Baker Doctor's argument was you can't visit punishment on the innocent when they haven't committed evil yet : and also as a Time Lord he ultimately can't pre-judge the Daleks and commit genocide : "Out of all their evil must come some good". Now, the message seems to be : Peter Capaldi's Doctor would be quite happy to leave a boy to be killed, because he thinks he knows his future and has prejudged him to become irredeemably evil ; but then the Doctor changes his mind because he realises his decision is going to affect the life of one human he happens to have as as his companion ? That's way too selfish imo and not what the Doctor should be about at all ? If you want to have a supposedly unsympathetic and darker Doctor, how about him not giving a damn if his companion dies if it's the only way he saves the universe; and not the other way around as seems to be the position in the new series now Rant over. RE: Dr Who - Doddle - 04-10-2015 06:48 #seenitallbefore RE: Dr Who - biggles - 04-10-2015 09:16 I thought last nights episode was pretty good - felt like alien/aliens at times - dark corridors hunting the monster then being hunted... Anyone else spot the alien spaceship looked like a Stargate Puddle Jumper? RE: Dr Who - lovebabes56 - 04-10-2015 12:09 I wonder if they'll seize the opportunity to put out the first two episodes out on DVD as a full movie or not? RE: Dr Who - munch1917 - 04-10-2015 15:05 Two things to note about this story. First, I dozed off part way through, which says a lot about how good it was! Secondly, it is now set up for the second part to be all about Clara out-doctoring the Doctor. How original!! I was going to post a guess about next weeks episode, but the spoiler tags are no longer working, and I don't want to risk giving anything away for anyone who hasn't watched this weeks yet, so I'll keep quiet for now. Either I'll be right but no-one will believe me, or I was hopelessly wrong and I've avoided looking like a bigger dick than usual RE: Dr Who - Doddle - 10-10-2015 20:29 Oh dear, a shaggy dog story with a massive anti-climax of an ending. RE: Dr Who - Rammyrascal - 17-10-2015 20:14 Probably best episode of the series so far this evening. Think dr who bosses are setting up Maisie Williams to be next companion |
