SuaveStar Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Question about series 3 boxset of Dr Who. Did the box come with a slip cover, like the rest of the series's? Series 1,2 and 4 have slip covers, but series 3 doesn't have this. Is mine just missing the cover, or is that how it is meant to be? Also, I was watching series 3 again, and I have to say, I don't hate Martha as much as I used to, she is still my least favourite companion, but watching the show again, I like how she grew through the series, and how she got passed her infatuation with the Doctor, which was when she really grained on me.

Well, apart from the fourth series where Rose is just plain annoying, I prefer her, as she had more time to develop, and was the first companion, so she was something special.

SuaveStar Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Good episode. Nothing spectacular, but an enjoyable episode. Like the rest of the series, the last few minutes just felt forced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damndirtyape Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I thought it was one of the more enjoyable episodes of the series and a refreshing change of pace. Loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mull Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I actually thought it was abit of a meh episode actually, nothing really got progressed in terms of building for the finale soon apart from the odd few lines of dialogue. And I expect next weeks to be more of the same sadly with James Corden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 That was a cute episode. Yeah, it was filler, but after last week, we needed a bit of a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothian Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 That was a cute episode. Yeah, it was filler, but after last week, we needed a bit of a break. Richard Curtis was always going to write a cute episode. Still, I very much enjoyed it, despite the inclusion of Athlete on the soundtrack. The worst 11th Doctor episode is the Dalek one, although I don't hold out much hope for the James f'n Corden one on my birthday. FUCK YOU, CORDEN!

Koete Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Captain Jack is back — and Starz has him! The cable net has acquired U.S. television rights to the next installment of Torchwood. The 10-episode cycle is slated to air in summer 2011 on both Starz (in the U.S.) and BBC One (in the UK). Several new characters are expected to come on board, joining franchise vets John Barrowman and Eve Myles. Russell T. Davies, meanwhile, will be back as showrunner. The new episodes will take on more of an “international scope,” says Starz, adding, “The new series will allow Davies and his writing team to tell a more explosive and global story, one that takes advantage of the unlimited narrative opportunities of a premium television service like Starz.” The news comes several weeks after Fox passed on a U.S. version of Torchwood.

Venneh Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Did Lady Gaga's futuristic fashions land her a Doctor Who role? Lady Gaga on Doctor Who, sporting one of her trademark bizarre outfits and possibly giant alien eyes? It almost sounds too awesome to be true. But that's what one magazine is reporting. OK! Magazine is reporting that script writer Gareth Roberts has a few ideas for a Gaga-centric Who episode. He was quoted as saying, "She is no stranger to dressing up and would be more than a match for the Doctor. It would be a great coup to get her." Plus Roberts already has come up with a storyline for Gaga's appearance. Let's just hope it's more interesting than Kylie Minogue's "sheltered French maid" character. Lady Gaga is more than just another one-off companion for the Doctor, if you know what we mean. We fully expect the queen of the monsters to be a mysterious sovereign of the sensationally dressed lizard people, or something of that nature. So get to it internet. You put Betty White on SNL, and started a Donald Glover for Spider-Man riot, now get Gaga on Doctor Who... pretty please. Source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I think I've reached the point of ambivalence with this season. I don't hate it or anything, but something's missing and I don't even feel like going through the minimal effort required to watch it anymore. At the very least, I think I'm going to skip the next few unless something epic happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least, I think I'm going to skip the next few unless something epic happens. The thing is, the episodes start out good, and then somehow they lose their way, and fall apart. Also, the next two are the last of the series I think. If your up to date Dubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuaveStar Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I think Smith is awesome as the Doctor, his delivery is always top notch, and he comes out with cracking lines, like this week. The only problem is, his episodes so far haven't given him anything special to go with, episode wise, nothing memorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 And apart from the moments with The Doctor, and the last scene, this episode was entirely miss-able. I can't call it filler because of the end, so I'll call it an episode. Best comparison to me is the season 2 episode with the alien that absorbs people that was played by Peter Kay.

Venneh Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 It was decent enough filler that's leading into the finale, which is looking quite intriguing, especially as River shows up again! And we actually saw a fair bit of it in the trailer for the season originally, which, in turn, is fairly surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Not a great episode, but certainly a great performance from Smith, well worth watching. Corden was ok as the straight man to the madcap doctor. Felt like a mature well-written version of Love and Monsters from season two. Next week looks very interesting.

I think that's going be one of those random things that are introduced and then never mentioned again despite being useful about a billion times before and after this episode.
