Missy Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I'd say New Earth. Sure, Cassandra is human, but come on. Everyone else is a clone, a cat, or an alien. (The ending, where we see Chip / Cassandra go back in time, could disqualify it. But I thought I'd toss it out there nonetheless.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donomark Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I liked it alright. I heard people didn't so mebbe I went in with low expectations. It wasn't bad, but just sorta there. The last act though was awesome. LOVED Matt Smith's speech at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damndirtyape Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hmmm still not convinced by this half of the series. Just when I was starting to like the first ten minutes or so, we were whisked away on another average story with more monsters of the week that looked good but had no substance.

Stavros Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 It was a speech for the sake of a speech. A very good one but it wasn't really built to or meaningful in the larger context of the series. Plus Dr Who just feels wrong when it tries to do the Mos Eisley Cantina setup, it feels derivative. I'd say New Earth. Sure, Cassandra is human, but come on. Everyone else is a clone, a cat, or an alien. (The ending, where we see Chip / Cassandra go back in time, could disqualify it. But I thought I'd toss it out there nonetheless.) But so much of the episodes traces ancestry back to humans and earth. This was something with no relation to humankind. I do think that The Doctors Wife is the only one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonC Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Jemma Redgrave is returning as Kate Stewart for the 50th. Yay! Can't have a Doctor Who anniversary episode without a Lethbridge-Stewart! But why are there no other Doctors cast yet? It's the fiftieth; we should have some classic Doctors too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I have to admit, this made me more than a little excited. I find it interesting that Smith is in his first costume, and not his updated one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Sorry if this has already been posted, but Jenna-Louise Coleman was on the Nerdist podcast and let it slip that in a future episode titled "The Heart of the TARDIS" or "Journey to the Heart of the TARDIS"(I can't remember which) we will get to see a bunch of the rooms we never get to see.

Badhead Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 There are Moffat haters, who are now saying that Moffats who is full of forced sentimentality, the end of the seasons are always a cop out, the episodes are all about the companion and the 11th doctor mopes too much and cant move on when his companion goes. They say that none of that happend under RTD??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Did anyone else notice the car that almost hit Clara's dad looked pretty familiar? It ties two characters together, and I really want to know who is driving it and what the deal is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 That reminds me. Someone told me recently that younger versions of Rose, Jackie, and Mickey are in the Bells of Saint John minisode. The kids are visible right as the minisode opens for a split-second, and Jackie is talking to Clara's mom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badhead Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 At last, a good stand alone story. No stuff about disappearing bees, the doctors hand or cracks in the wall. Cold War is the best we have had in a long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damndirtyape Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Now that was a Doctor Who story. Gatis has brought the show back on track. Lets hope they keep it up for the rest of the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davedevil Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I liked it. Had a nice Alien and Predator vibe to it. The face reveal at the end was a bit disappointing, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 That was terrific. Not a classic, but a good, solid, old-school base under siege that took a (to be honest) kind of goofy monster and made it properly threatening. I didn't love the realization of his face, but it worked well enough and was VERY glad we never got a good look at his body. Mark Gatiss has written some wonderful episodes (The Unquiet Dead, Night Terrors) and some less successful ones (The Idiot's Lantern, Victory of the Daleks). However, he has a really good voice for the show, and based on Cold War, and if he's tapped to take over after Moffat, as I've heard more than once, I would be okay with that.

Dan Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 And yes, once again, Nick Briggs did the voice. However, I actually forgot it was him. He sounded great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
