I just heard David Tennet and Billie Piper are returning for the 50th anniversary. Interesting.

I wonder how?

If Moffat is writing then maybe through the power of love or something.

Possibly a flashback. More probably a timey-wimey hypercrisis.

No, it'll be to do with the alternate universe tenth doctor and rose from season 4, remember?

Also it isn't uncommon. Every anniversary so far has had past doctors returning. Didn't anybody watch The Five Doctors/The Three Doctors/The Two Doctors from the 70s and 80s?

Latest episode was disappointing. It suffered all of the same problems as the rest of this season in an unsatisfying ending. Also, other things. Why didn't the TARDIS translate for that dog person? Why did that last song have to be so tacky after the rest were so tasteful?

At this point it's easy to say I've lost faith in the series, but I'm hoping for a diamond in the rough before it's over.

I really didn't get the storyline. I was lost about half way in.

It's the bloody writers not to mention the acting at times really slips. For some reason everyone on the writing team is obsessed with pseudo-everything. Pseudo-science, pseudo-technology, it's like they don't really understand the things they talk about but they don't expect anyone else to either. It's like the wi-fi episode last week. I mean, what?

I'm just waiting for the cybermen episode, I doubt I'll watch next weeks, trailer looked boring.

Still look better than the other ones, it'd be nice if they brought some back from the normal universe though, end all this pussy footed parallel bull shit. I want to see some Telosians.

Not Telos. Telos was the second planet, they're actually from Mondas. And the new Cybermen are ones from this universe apparently.

Aye but Mondas blew up, the ones from the later series are Telosian, i.e. they came from Telos.

They're still known as Mondas Cybermen, though.

My dad said the same thing. I must have blinked, since I thought it just turned back into a normal late-M dwarf or whatever the hell it was.

No, it literally just collapsed in upon itself and died. Not only would that create some sort of mega supernova most likely...even if it didn't, how the fuck are those planets going to get heat in the now empty nothing of space?

Well I watched the new episode, and I know people with disagree with me, but I thought it was amazing. Best episode since "The God Complex", and very remeniscent of Alien and Predator, like combining the two.
But not Aliens Vs. Predator. Never Aliens Vs. Predator.

They did throw in an alien reference. I fucking love the Ice Warriors though so that made the episode for me.

The scientist who likes Duran Duran was a nice touch. Surely that is some form of betrayal of the motherland?

Now that I think of it, how do the Ice Warriors of Mars square with the virulent Waters of Mars? I wish this show would establish a consistent mythology, especially for repeat locations like Mars. And Earth.

We've gotten quite a few glimpses of the future of mankind, but any sort of coherent timeline? Nope.

Copied from my weekly Facebook post about Doctor Who that I've somehow fallen into making. People seem to always agree with me, so I keep going to feed off the reliable well of gratification.

"Doctor Who has done it two weeks in a row!

Nice setting, nice pace, fantastic monster. The only thing that really grated me was the scene at the very end. I understand why they felt the need to include it, and I almost feel that the episode was better for it, but I wish they didn't show the monster's face. If nothing else they left it exactly where they needed to.

I have high expectations for the next episode for the first time in a while."

I thought the end was shit. They genuinely had a scary setting and a scary monster that could have been a very good villain but then, hurr hurr they love each other.

No, he couldn't have been a good villain. He could have been a good monster. I would have felt pretty crappy if they'd left it at that scene with The Doctor saying how afraid he was of it, then escaping. Also, they needed to explain the creepy thing that wasn't a ghost creeping around in the background of the entire episode.

But yeah, too much love in my Doctor Who right now.

e: That's not to say the Monster of the Week missing his girlfriend makes him a good villain.

Just watched the latest episode and I thought it was pretty good. The pictures of the ghost were pretty terrifying.

The next episode looks really interesting, I hope it's going to be good.

I loved both the antagonists in the new episode, the ghost was creepy and the monster was pretty disturbing.
Next episode definitely looks cool.

Well I have no idea what to think about the new episode. It was certainly interesting, and I did enjoy it, it seems we're getting closer to finding out who the dick Clara is. I just didn't understand what the hell happene d ,and I'm usually pretty good at figuring out Moffat's retarded time science. Overall I did enjoy it, save for the Jeremy Kyle-esque brother story, it would've been better without it. Not really excited for the next episode, I think it'll be another one of those silly series 6 ones. But anything's better than series 6.

Also, I really do like the season 7 theme and title sequence, definitely the best one of the 2005 series, probably the best overall.

I thought the latest episode was good. Finally we get a sense of scale of how big the TARDIS is on the inside. Good villains, good characters, great air of mystery and curiosity. One of the best so far I think.
