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

[Captain Clarkie]

It's all just a build up to Rory, who treats death as a familiar and minor inconvenience.

[Paul McEnery]

Gah. I found her character to be rather annoying - ranging from useless to insufferable. Arrogant, quick tempered and I really don't think Tate is much of an actress at all.

Hmm, you hate down-to-earth redheads with a temper who are very sure of themselves.

Are you sure you're living in the right country?

[Captain Clarkie]

I think Forest of the Dead is an excellent example of Tate's good acting. That and all them plays on the west end and such.

[Charles RB]

Considering how I did not like Donna at all the first time she turned up*, the fact I loved her by Journey's End says a lot about her acting (and the scripts she got in S4 because I bet Janet Fielding, Bonnie Langford, and Carol Ann Ford would've killed for Turn Left).

* I saw what RTD was going for with her, it was just rubbish

Her best acting is when she has her face on the node and saying "Donna Noble has been saved".

Yeah, she's pure dead good at it and everything in those ITV dramas what she did.

Och veery funny.

For some reason Planet of The Dead is the only special not on Netflix. At least of the current stuff. So I'm watching Waters Of Mars. Lindsay Duncan (Adelaide Brooke) reminds me of a slightly older Rebecca De Mornay

Donna wasn't as annoying as I thought she'd be. She was most intertaining when she was channeling David at the end of the season.


I didn't find that season's Doctor Light Episode nearly as intertaining as the last two seasons.

You should also watch the sarah jane adventures episodes with the trickster before the Matt Smith season.

"Whatever happened to Sarah Jane ?" served as a prelude to Turn Left as it was there that the trickster learned about the doctor from Sarah Jane's timeline and set the trap for Donna.

"The Wedding of Sarah Jane" episode featured the tennant 10th doctor as he raced to prevent the trickster from claiming Sarah Jane. That's about the last appearance of Tennant before the end of his last arc.

Sarah Jane would also meet the Matt Smith Doctor much later on in "Death of the doctor" episode.

The Trickster also used his Brigade to smuggle the brain parasite that Jack destroyed in the current season of Torchwood.

The Trickster seems very powerful with a lot of minions (The Trickster's Brigade). I wonder if he'll figure into the Doctor's 50th Anniversary event.

Unfortunantly they aren't on Netflix for streaming either. Torchwood is. Damn why was season three only 5 episodes? For that matter what was with the year with out Dr. Who where they only did five specials If you count the two parts of End Of Time?

Lindsay Duncan is a cool actress-she's also well known as Servilla in the Rome series and has done some work with Matt Smith lately. Also she has a small part in The Phantom Menace as the voice of the silver protocol droid.


Water of Mars also name drops the classic monster known as the Ice Warriors (and the cracked mouths of the zombies do resemble the Ice Warrior makeup), which despite the multiple mentions of Mars in the series they've yet to appear in the revival. (Although some who comics and novels have featured them lately). They actually haven't appeared at all outside of flashbacks since the Pertwee era! (Although there were plans to bring them back in the 80s).

She's a bit better known for her theatre and TV work like GBH than the handful of genre parts shes done.

Matt Smith as a character is slowly growing on me in terms of character in the first episode alone but he is still as fugly as Scott whats his name who played Jason Street in FNL. At least Tennant was fetching.

Amy Pond is super attractive. Yay me.

[Dark_Master]

I don't know what I find weirder, that you think Scott Porter is fugly or Matt Smith fat (the ugly part I can get though... he does look kinda weird at first)

For some reason Planet of The Dead is the only special not on Netflix. At least of the current stuff.

then be grateful because PotD was horrible. Easily one of Tennant's worst episodes (if I didn't hate "Daleks in Manhattan" so much I'd probably say it's the worst one)
