Well, the Hath don't have mouths, and I don't think Martha understood them just fine, she seemed like she was picking up on movements and context clues the whole time. As for Jenny, she's definitely Gallifreyan, but I don't know if that means she's a full-on Time Lord. Depends if she's all mutated by the time vortex or not. The regeneration might have just been from the source and not from a Time Lord/Lady's ability to regenerate. I'd like to see her come back. She's too gorgeous not to. You know, when she's done having David Tennant's baby.

Perhaps, but it seemed like they were understanding one another pretty well. But there wasn't Tardis translation, at least not that was shown. I'm still intrigued as to the ramification of there being another Gallifreyan wandering about the universe is going to have. And The Source causing the regeneration is a good point. Though the wisp of energy that escaped her mouth seemed very much like The Doctor during Christmas Invasion when he was still undergoing his regeneration cycle. But I'd been assuming so far that regeneration had something to do with The Tardis. Which she didn't have access to. Meaning it might have been the Source. I really don't know. I'll be the first to admit I don't know nearly enough or as much about Doctor Who as the rest of you.

Well, pre-revival Doctors have regenerated outside the TARDIS before, so I don't think a Time Lord has to be inside a TARDIS to regenerate.

Actually, now that I think about it, Jenny can't be a full Time Lord. Eccleston explains to Rose that he would be able to feel it if there were other Time Lords in the universe. So if Jenny were alive, the Doctor would have sensed it, and given his emotions during that episode, I see no reason why the tenth wouldn't fly back there and pick her up.

I don't think a Doctor actually has regenerated outside of the TARDIS... although, one very nearly did.

Sorry for double post.

But I just watched the library two parter and I am shitting a half a metric ton of bricks right now. And the other half metric ton? Also bricks.

I just. Fucking. Jesus christ. That episode was just so...Doctor. It was wonderful. It was heart wrenching. And it was kinda confusing. I kept asking my friend Brandon (who watches the show religiously) questions about what was going on. He refused to actually tell me. Other than these few things.

1. Everything is connected in this show.
2. Everything is connected in this show.
3. Shit gets real in season 6
4. Pay close attention to everything.
5. Steve Moffat is a fuck.

I'm just kind of in a state of blissful ragey happiness. Fucking love this show.

This kinda shiz is why I massively envy you. There is nothing like watching Silence in the Library for the first time. Absolutely stellar. I had a moment the other day when I realised you hadn't met River Song - ohhhh, just wait. The best is yet to come.

I'm watching all of Doctor Who with some friends and just finished Dalek from season 1. In the beginning, I swear there's a thing that looks just like prisoner zero in one of the glass cases.

Hmm. But he didn't notice The Master. Granted The Master was in hiding and his essence sealed in a watch. But wouldn't he have felt the watch? But wouldn't he have felt The Master while he was masquerading as Saxon? Or was that cancled out because of the paradox shenanigans?

That was such a great two parter. Fucking. Just. This show. Even if all that episode was was the 30 second clip of him snapping his fingers to open, and then close, the Tardis I'd have been happy. That was just so fucking cool

I seem to remember hearing some theory about the TARDIS being part of the process, so I figured they were all within. Come to think of it, though, 4 into 5 is definitely outside.

And, of course, there was the er... viciously aborted regeneration, not to give too much away.

So, I finished the second series yesterday and I agree that overall, it is pretty weak compared to series 1, 5 and 6 so far. But I'll keep watching, since you guys are saying great things about the third and fourth series.

Three and four are absolutely sterling.

3's a slow starter but a stunning finisher. 4 is absolutely tip top all the way through. One episode I don't like (Journey's End, for anyone who knows the titles), but even that's got plenty to love about it.

Ohhhh, and the specials. 4.14 - 4.18. Brilliant stuff.

3 episodes of Sherlock a year! Come on now! Maybe we'll get a 2012 season full of specials like 2008/09/10. Maybe without Rory and Amy. I think I'd be okay with that.

Sigz · « **Reply #888 on:** June 16, 2011, 10:12:02 AM »

robwebster · « **Reply #889 on:** June 16, 2011, 10:50:07 AM »

More likely to just be another split-season, seeing as the next thing commissioned is a full series of fourteen episodes.

They need to start filming nine months in advance, if they want to get the episodes done in time for broadcast. However, they can't start filming in a month's time as is traditional, or they'd give away a crapload of secrets. So they'll be filming more likely in January, in time for an October broadcast.

Seven eps late 2012, seven early 2013. Plus a shortened gap between series-halves, giving them time to film another series for late 2013.

Or that's what makes sense to me, anywho.

ariich · « **Reply #890 on:** June 16, 2011, 01:31:10 PM »

My thinking is the same as Rob's. A split season across 2012-13. And that means possibility culminating with some kind of epic special in 2013 to celebrate DW's 50th anniversary!!

Time Loop, by Gerald Riley

In the constellation of Kasterborous,
There lies a special place.
Locked in time through the spoils of war,
One survivor - who changes his face.

He’s lived for over nine hundred years,
But perished after four knocks.
His name is heard throughout the universe.
This mad man with a box.

So whenever you travel in time and space,
Through the stars so wild and dangerous,
Listen for the echo of two beating hearts,
In the constellation of Kasterborous.

Just watching the end of Series 2; I'd forgotten how bloody brilliant the scene is with the daleks and cybermen slagging each other off.

"OUR SPECIES ARE SIMILAR, THOUGH YOUR DESIGN IS INELEGANT"
"DALEKS HAVE NO CONCEPT OF ELEGANCE"
"THIS IS OBVIOUS"

"YOU ARE SUPERIOR IN ONLY ONE RESPECT"
"WHAT IS THAT?"
"YOU ARE BETTER AT DYING"

Marvellous.

I don't know about the greatest scene in sci-fi TV history necessarily (although I'm not arguing!), but it's absolutely pitch-perfect. In every respect. Particularly the music. Oh, The Eleventh Hour, I love you so dearly.

The Impossible Astronaught/ Day of the Moon. I love The Silence as enemies, and The Doctor's speech at the end of Day of the Moon was EPIC.

In the episode "Flesh and Stone" has anyone noticed that when the Doctor tells Amy to remember what he told her when she was 7, he has his jacket on? When about 5 minutes previously he had it taken off of him by an angel?

Maybe something for a future episode? Or not?

So I've tried watching some classic Doctor Who. To be honest, I didn't find many of them all that great. I found myself liking Peter Davison the most (I've seen one Baker, one Hartnell, one Davison, and one McCoy story each) but I've just started watching "The Three Doctors" and this is the only classic who story so far that has kept me entertained, rather than making me feel like I'm doing a chore just to try and appreciate a show I already love even more. So yeah, I guess I'm appreciating Jon Pertwee.

Logical Nightmare · « **Reply #909 on:** July 12, 2011, 05:04:35 PM »

So I finally got around to watching it. I and my boyfriend just watched the two first episodes of series 1.

I don't understand why I should not have started there (as you said), because I have to tell you, I was in complete love within 20 minutes. IT'S BRILLIANT.
