RSS Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 "The angels are coming for you. But listen: your life could depend on this. Don't blink. Don't even blink! Blink and you're dead! They are fast! Faster than you can believe! Don't turn your back! Don't look away! And don't blink! Good luck." That's right, we're talking about "Blink," the awesomely wonderful episode of Doctor Who.

Missy Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Thank you, Chris, for demanding we watch this episode of Doctor Who! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Wow, cool ep!! It's hard to believe just how big Dr Who's become. It always used to be popular until around the mid-80s and the then-controller of the BBC, Michael Grade, cancelled it because he didn't like sci-fi. Then the BBC had a survey about what show they wanted to bring back, when Grade was the chairman, and it was Dr Who. And now the BBC can't get enough - there's two sub-shows devoted to the main show and two spin-offs, as well as BBC Shops being packed out with toys and merchandise!!! Funny old world! One point: It really is ECCLEstone, rather than EGGLEstone. But I prefer him too. Not because Tennant is bad or anything, but because my girlfriend fancies the pants off him! Mike, I finally feel your pain over suave British people!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Edge Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Actually, it's EccleSTON. Glad you enjoyed - I'll be listening to this shortly. I've had a huge amount of crap going on recently, and it's finally all sorted itself out. Now I have a mic, and a phone to the US, if you ever want to do more Doctor Who stuff, I'd be totally interested in helping out. How about a catch up on the previous series, Q&A style stuff?

Missy Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 When / If we do another Doctor Who episode, you'll definitely be joining us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Shaper Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Great epsiode of Dr Who and it's good that we only had it show on TV here in the last few weeks! It has to be my fav episode of the new Dr Who so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Good, show, I'm glad you liked the episode. There are three episodes left this season and they are all pretty damn good. Dr Who is a very patchy show and Tennant isn't as good as Eccleston (although theres an element of annoying writing to consider) but still, these last four episodes saved this show. Before that we were treated to pure crap like "The Daleks in Manhatten". Watch these last three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Edge Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Huh - I'm halfway through, and coincidentally enough, I'm re-reading and rewatching a bunch of Sherlock Holmes stuff as well. I actually bought all the Basil Rathbone episodes yesterday in a boxset. And it's SALLY SPARROW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 And it's SALLY SPARROW. Give it a little more time; Jenny remembers partway through the conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mull Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Speaking of Eccleston, I never rated the guy when the first series aired in the UK as I always thought he was too over the top with his cheesy grins, it wasnt until recently when I rewatched an episode or two that I finally came to like the guy and his over acting really really suited the role for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holacik Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Speaking of Eccleston, I never rated the guy when the first series aired in the UK as I always thought he was too over the top with his cheesy grins, it wasnt until recently when I rewatched an episode or two that I finally came to like the guy and his over acting really really suited the role for him There's a really good reason as to way the Doctor's smile is soo cheesy. It's fake, just a mask that he uses to try and cover the massive amount of guilt that he feels for killing two races. It's the reason why he quickly helps the Gelth when he found out that they were destroyed by the affects of the time war. It's the reason why he had some much anger towards the Dalek in the episode 'Dalek'(Which is the best episode in that season. There's a bunch more examples of it in throughout the season.

Darque Edge Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 For me, the high point of his entire run was The Doctor Dances. Knowing what we now know about what happened to his people, his complete, total joy. 'Everyone lives, Rose! Just this once, EVERYBODY LIVES!' Beautiful. I'll come back shortly with more feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Edge Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 This was a lot of fun, I enjoyed it. Would have been nice if you'd checked some of your stuff beforehand - there were a lot of '...I think''s and 'I'm not sure...'s, but since you're in another country and all, it's understandable. If you want a hand with anything, just email and ask, for future Doctor Who related stuff. It should be coming up to season end right now too. The two of you have really grown into it, and it's nice to see Jen has taken more of a role than in earlier episodes (I don't listen to it often, because I genuinely don't have much time).

Holacik Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I know this seems late but I couldn't download this to hear it, it's not compatible with aol or some such nonsense, so is there an alternate way of downloading it or a script I can read as Doctor Who is one of my favorite shows and this one of my favorite eps, i'd really enjoy to hear your thought on it.

Missy Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 You can't download MP3s? If that doesn't work, you can always use iTunes to get the episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Did you ever finish out the season? What did you think? I loved this episode, and it was smack dab in a run of seven or eight really good, strong episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Assuming you mean Doctor Who episodes, no. We didn't get to see any more from the same season / series as "Blink". However, as soon as I have the cash, I'll buy said season / series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as soon as I have the cash, I'll buy said season / series. Understandable; British TV on DVD tends to be prohibitively expensive. IMHO, totally worth it, although I'm biased as a Whovian fanboy from way back. And Blink in particular was a highlight, despite being this year's Doctor-lite episode (although the writer, Steven Moffatt [Coupling, Jekyll, scads of other really good TV] actually turned that into a strength of the episode).
