Dr Who

Looks like the finale is going to big, Cybermen (with space ships?) Daleks, Nestene, should be interesting.

I haven't a clue what the pandorica is but I'll be turning my phone off on Saturday night..

From the little i saw in last weeks preview, i'm guessing it's a Tardis or some other piece of Timelord tech ( like the Genesis Ark ).

Lots of tidbits here

Episodes 12 & 13

I am getting into the new season. Matt Smith is finding his way but his first episode makes up for that awful trailer and the brief appearance he made after the regeneration took place.

I detect some serious Davison vibe from him, ( tho he dresses like a younger version of a Troughton Doctor). He is very physical like Pertwee. I love Amy. She is a very strong female character. Are Scottish women the type that take no guff from anyone? I could listen to that accent all day.

The Psychic paper and the Sonic Screwdriver are over-used and for things they are not needed for. The new Daleks are too fat for my tastes and their simplistic design is too old school for me. Keep the armoured, military green look. That's damn cool! Supposedly the Cybermen will be revamped this season as well. Perhaps they will be this universes Cybermen and not from the alternate one?

The Psychic paper and the Sonic Screwdriver are over-used and for things they are not needed for. ?

It's funny thinking JNT got rid of the sonic screwdriver because he thought it was overused back then.

Today, the Doctor constantly has it in his hand... I never thought i'd hear myself say this but I wish he would lose it.

Everytime I see Smith pull it out I roll my eyes and say -- who writes this crap, a 10 year old ?

They had a funny bit in the last episode where he was trying to figure out how to turn on a regular screwdriver.

But what was up with the psychic head-butting?

lots of people hit their head to shake a thought loose....or maybe that's just me

[jds1911a1]

I thought that too.

BTW, they're called Silurians.

I hate this new design. I will just call them homo reptilius the Silurains were WAY cooler (at least in the pertwee era)

[devonp]

I have to disagree, I am loving Matt Smith as the latest incarnation, and am enjoying the new series so far, and like Amy as a companion too!!

>I hate this new design.

I wasn't a fan either 'cos they're kinda generic looking and WAY different from the original.... but the Doctor did refer to them as a different branch.... Silurians and Sea Devils are pretty different too, but related. Maybe "Silurian" is a generic term for several different species that evolved from dinosaurs?

Yeah but to go from totally reptillian looking to human with scales, that's a big stretch.
I could see the reptile silurians despising these for being too " ape " like in appearance.

I actually reminded me of a 3rd Doctor Missing adventure ( scales of injustice ), where some Silurians and Sea Devils cross bred.

I used to think the Sea Devils were based on Iguanas ( like the ones you see swimming in the Galapagos islands ) but i think the face looks more like a turtle.

[Anarchy]

Dude i was just thinking the same thing even tennant was using it to often they really do need to get rid of it for awhile

I think the sonic screwdriver gets used way too often. He needs to loose it for a few episodes. I kind of like the dimensional rift story line...

[jwyblejr]

I have to admit I liked the celery joke.

[jwyblejr]

I personally think this was the best episode of the season. Just something about Vincent van Gogh.

[Boris71]

for me the van gough episode was the worst, It didn't seem to have any purpouse but to be the episode with a famous guy in. but in the final two episodes it does make some sense, but I still don't like the episode, even though nill nighy is in it
