Doctor Who thread III: Mad men in a blue box. Everything Whovian. (SPOILERS)

[Vidocq]

I liked seeing his face in the nebula, it was a nice touch; I just wish we saw the other Doctors faces as well, that's the only thing keeping the new sequence from being perfect in my mind.

But those intros are supposed to have the face of the current Doctor only, not of all of them. It's a throwback to the classic series, and you didn't see Tom Baker's face in Sylvester Mccoy's intro.

I saw the special last night, the plot was kind of blah, and Jenna was nice as Clara, part of me hopes she dies everytime she sees the doctor, because I think moffat would do something like that to make him seem tortured.

I know, but I think it would be perfect if it had them all.

That will be too much .

I seem to remember it being given as a reason why it was down a bit last year, plus a later timeslot just doesn't make sense.

But it's always had a later timeslot in the past on Christmas Day and rated just as well - usually better. The BBC just didn't have a great day in general last year.

The part of with Strax and the mindworm had me laughing out load. He would make a perfect companion for a few episodes.

I also do like that they have gone back to a more classic style Tardis control room. That last one was just and eyesore after a few episodes.

[Captain Jim]

Put me down as one who thinks that a show about Vastra, Jenny and Strax would make an interesting spin-off.

Maybe they'll do it for the big anniversary? That would be a keeper.

I want Strax (Mr. Potato Head) The Sontaran and Mind Worm as companions! Someone make this so!

I think Moffat's considered the idea. Confidential's canceled, Torchwood is in limbo, and SJA had to come to an end after Sladen's death so maybe there's a chance of a new spinoff at some point. However, Moffat has his hands full, hence the seasons of WHO being delayed and split and Sherlock being delayed (Although that might also be due to Cumerbatch in the Star Trek film). So if there is a spinoff it'd probably be in somebody else's hands (Chibnall? Gatiss?). I suppose it could work as an audio or novel series too.

And Stan Marsh could pop up and say "You Killed Clara...You Bastards".

SyFy showed a bunchof K-9's episodes during the Special. Is his show still going or did it get canned already.





And I agree. Kill Oswin every episode. it would be a nice tribute to that character that Arhur Dent keeps accidentaly killing in the Hitchhikers series.

To be fair I expected a lot more build to throwing a companion so quick at the Doctor. I was expecting there to be awhile before Clara would team with the Doctor. It surprised me they went for it from the start and had her follow him.

Yeah, that part was a bit rushed. As was giving her the key after he'd only known her for five minutes. I mean I can't fault his taste, but don't come across quite so desperate, dude!

Are my posts fookin' invisible or something?

She's gonna be like the Doctor Who version of Kenny. She'll die at the end of every episode, then be fine again at the start of the next.

The Eighth Doctor had a Christmas Special two years ago with Carole Ann Ford returning as Susan (He finally ''came back'' earlier on the audio series) and Big Finish is having a sale on it for download at £2.99. It's pretty good, if anybody is interested.
