Didn't think much of the story but as a character piece it was top notch. Everyone was so much fun. Clara is going to fit in nicely.

I didn't mean to give the impression that Corden was bad in his episodes. Like Tate before him, he did really well and was a nice surprise. Out of the three comedians I liked his original tv work the best. It was just he got so popular in the Uk with his show that he was suddenly in everything and became over saturated on TV. So I, like most of the public got a bit sick of the sight of him.

It's weird that Doctor Who has had this affiliation with irritating British comedians. When Catherine Tate was announced as the next companion, I was ready to give up on the show. That's how much I hated her comedy show. Then she actually turned out to be really good. When James Corden was announced I gave him a chance because of how well Donna Noble turned out but Years earlier when I realised Peter Fucking Kay was going to be a monster on the show, I knew he would be awful and he was. As for the episode its self. It's definitely bad though filled with a great cast (Peter Kay aside) trying there best.

I like it.

I agree but at some point they have to put a lid on it and call it a day or they could go on forever with the Doctor returning to a point in time to change things. What ever device they come up with to say he can't go back will always seem a bit flimsy. Keeping it vague by just saying it's fixed, lets the viewer expand on it in there own mind in whatever way they are comfortable with.

I had the same thought but

I liked there departure. Although as soon as I heard that they were going to leave on this episode, I knew this was the only way they were going to write them out.

Ha ha which were the other two? Asylum of the Daleks - Good episode overall. I don't buy the sexism argument, nor mind the divorce angle. Plus Oswyn was aweome/gorgeous. For a Dalek. Dinosaurs on a Spaceship - Fluff, although really enjoyable, fun fluff. A Town Called Mercy - Fluff. Not bad, per se. Just fluff. Power of Three - Whilst I didn't like the last line, I loved the grounded approach from the Ponds POV (+ Brian and Kate). Didn't NEED Steven Berkoff, but then he wasn't the focus. The Angels Take Manhattan - Just awesome. Although, recording with Dave a few hours ago, he spotted a line of dialogue that undid the ending for him. Still, sod that guy! I thought every episode so far (not including Angels) had too many problems for me to really just kick back and enjoy. Asylum - Didn't buy the reason for an asylum or that all the Daleks were working together, after the new ones killed off the bronze ones last time. Or that they were scared of a load of crazy Daleks that weren't going anywhere. New companion worked well with Smith though. Dinosaurs - was pure fluff but at least enjoyable but forgettable. Mercy - had nothing we hadn't seen before and felt like we were treading old ground. Worst of all they gave Rory nothing to do. Power of 3 - Nice set up and character moments but lousy pay off that left me unfulfilled. (didn't know that was Berkoff will have to re-watch) Angels - Back to form. It zipped along, great dialogue and a fitting end. Nice moment at the very end. What was the line that undid the ending?

Ha ha which were the other two?

Now that (for the first time this series) was a Doctor Who story.

Not feeling this season yet. I've only had fun with one episode and the others felt under par.Something just doesn't feel doctor who about them. Especially the power of three. The end of the episode and the reason for the cubes felt very rushed.

There is a strange tendency for films of this genre to take cues from other recent popular film designs. It's part batman, part snake eyes no Robocop. There doesn't seem to be anything fresh looking about it at all. Granted it's only one photo and it's in no way a finished product. It could be a costume that is only seen for a few seconds or minutes in the final film. The point is the original was such an iconic look, that this version seems like it needs to up it's game. Hopefully it has more to offer than this.

Your right, it's not a bad episode.

Not a bad episode but nothing we haven't seen before. Hmm...three episodes in and we haven't really had a meaty story yet.

I'm not liking that at all.

Well that was just pure fun. A big improvment on cold blood and the hungry earth.

I think it went up right after it aired, actually. I just finished watching it.

On the whole I liked it. Good solid start with some nice ideas to build on in the coming episodes. But...

There was a band called Lodestar that had one album out in 1996. The album was self titled. Wish they had done more. It was good.

The Doctor's Wife just pips it for me.

Good point. The episode is terrible but I like the idea of the tenth Doctor actually lighting the olmpic flame for real. Not that it will happen.

Any one seen this yet? http://www.petitiononline.com/Drwh2012/petition.html

01. Matt Smith 02. Patrick Troughton 03. Tom Baker 04. David Tennant 05. Christopher Eccleston 06. Peter Davison 07. Jon Pertwee 08. Sylvester McCoy 09. Colin Baker 10. Paul Mcgann (Only because of his one story, I have never heard any of his audio work. I suspect if he had more stories or ever came back in the further adventures of Doctor 8 he would go way up on my list.) 11. William Hartnell (Although I do like his version of the Doctor, I do find his performance harder to watch than any of the others.)

I fucking love this podcast. Will I love it as much when they stop talking about Tool? I hope so.
