Dog Rose to the rescue!

She's looking a bit ruff, though.

I'm in the US so i haven't watched any of this series yet. I did watch all of series 1 - i find tenant to be a bit better than eccleston, although most others will disagree. I didn't like the direction dr. who took with colin baker onward - less serious, more comedic... i much prefer tom baker style and even early peter davidson to say... the 7th doctor, whatever his name was, sly something. I feel this episode, while still too over the top for me, has some of the elements that made Dr Who cool in the first place.

I wish the cyberman voice didn't sound like such a prick tho.. they were more menacing back in the days when adric was killing them with his gold star...

I know what you mean, i keep expecting the C-Men to call the Doctor "Dave"....

(any fools and horses fans will get it, dont worry merry cans)

[IPAndrews]

So they've picked that black technician girl as the replacement for Billie Piper. Erm? Why? Apparently she impressed them with her acting ability during filming. What? Smiling and looking a like a mind controlled zombie? Hardly King-****ing-Lear. With that kind of attitude towards casting I don't know why they didn't just grab someone from the nearest bus stop.

[Colonol Dekker]

Thats what the doc does generally right? Whe one partenr expires/retires he grabs the nearest bit of fluff he can find, Look at that old cavegirl one, i would as well mind you.... 8)

[IPAndrews]

I'm not disagreeing with that but they could have - you know - planned ahead? Inserted someone decent into the episode to become the new bit of fluff? I mean Jesus. Talk about winging it.

[Colonol Dekker]

Point taken, on another note, How do you think Roses mum will react, and will the doc keep his testicles when she finds out?

Let's hope she dies with her.

Not a fan then Fiona?

I reckon the munter from eastenders whos in charge of Torchwood would probably be better than the black girl...

Some teasers are up on the website. http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/  Absolutely fantastic wallpaper as well.

Not in the slightest, she needs more slaps than even Rose does, it's just a good job she's not in every episode so I don't have to endure her all the time.

At least stacey slater isnt on it, Moody biatch would get thrown to the daleks mid-timeshift.......

I wish I could have written the episode.

"TOGETHER WE COULD UPGRADE THE UNIVERSE.."
".. YOU PROPOSE AN .. ALLIANCE?"
".. NO!" *zap*

It's hilarious when I visualise it.

[aldo_14]

"Together we could upgrade the universe"
"You propose...an alliance?"
"No, tech support at PC World is hiring"

[IPAndrews]

Not long now? Excited? No? Didn't think so.

[Fineus]

I am

[aldo_14]

Hrmpph.  going to bloody miss it thanks to dinner out going.

[an0n]

Well, that was pretty ****ing good.

I was starting to expect it was all a big scam. And apparently I know enough Norwegian to have twigged to the name of the Bad Wolf Bay right off.

I guessed the Genesis Ark would be a prison, but I thought Davros would be inside - even after it was made clear these Daleks followed the Emperor.

And it was ****ing nice to see the Black Dalek do the smart thing and use time-travel to retreat.

Excellent episode.

[Fineus]

Yeah, I gotta say I was pleased to see a Dalek survive. I kind of appreciate the fact they showed that rather than explain "oh so that's how one got away!" later on..

..Billie Piper pulled out some good solid crying at the end. Glad she made it... sort of. That said - there is one thought - if there's a parellel universe then surely there's a parallel Doctor to go with it. Heck - if they were so inclined they could say the Time Lords won the Time War and were happy and well in that Universe which is why the Daleks didn't try to overthrow that Earth or something.

One other thing... why were the Cybermen fighting alongside the humans from the parallel dimension? I thought they'd be busy trying to Cyberfy them rather than forming an alliance.

For all that though - a great end to the season.
