Thank you momma-mo[:D]

You see, I have no problem if the episode is "different", as I've loved the different episodes...like Hush, I believe it was named. Or the episode about the support group for people who have met the Doctor. I just have problems with it being a rip-off of a movie...that reminded of of Sliders. Remember how it started out as a really original show, then in the last few seasons every episode was a rip-off of a movie?



manda59 -> RE: Dr Who is coming back (4/4/2008 3:03:51 AM)

No I don't, never watched it.

And personally, I don't mind at all if they use parts of other story-lines. I'm usually way too busy enjoying the characters and the clever lines, and looking for the throwaway remarks.

And I am WAY looking forward to Saturday!!

agapetos, remember "The Family"? My son does the head thing perfectly and he and my daughter will often break into a brief skit between two "family" members, lol.

Does anyone think that Jack is the future Bo on Doctor Who?
(Bo is the big giant head thing far into the future on Doctor Who.)

so manda whatcha think?



manda59 -> RE: Dr Who is coming back (4/4/2008 1:55:49 PM)

The Doctor said so himself, didn't he? So it must be true![:D]

I couldn't remember...I do remember an episode that implied it, but never stated it as such.

Cool...so Jack lives forever because of him being left behind with the cylons...

errr, I mean the klingons

errr, sorry I meant to say daleks?
[8D] too many sci-fi enemy groups

Or what? I just can't seem to piece together what I've seen in a sequence of events.



stateofgrace -> RE: Dr Who is coming back (4/4/2008 2:30:46 PM)

I thought Jack was immortal because he was killed on that space station and then revived by Rose's opening of the eye of the TARDIS.



doinkdom -> RE: Dr Who is coming back (4/4/2008 2:53:50 PM)

Could be...dunno

I'll go ask in the doctor who thread and see if anybody over there knows.



doinkdom -> RE: Dr Who is coming back (4/4/2008 2:54:57 PM)

duh...this IS the doctor who thread
[:D][:D]

i'm so very confused now [8|][8D]

Sorry! My bad! I meant to say Jack said so himself, lol.

He said that the modelling agency he had worked for called him the Face of Bo. [;)]

I missed that quote...I just remember subtle hints but nothing said out loud.

cool

and was it being left behind with the daleks or looking into the heart of the tardis that made jack unable to die?

Yes. [;)]



doinkdom -> RE: Dr Who is coming back (4/4/2008 4:18:20 PM)

[:D] oh no!!!!

it was an either/or question not an inclusive one...

[&:]

[8D]



manda59 -> RE: Dr Who is coming back (4/4/2008 4:28:02 PM)

I know, lol.

Jack was brought back to life by the power of the time vortex in Rose.[:)]



doinkdom -> RE: Dr Who is coming back (4/4/2008 4:45:05 PM)

well Rose really was and is just sooooooooo special [:)]

Is the actress that portrayed her doing anything else?



manda59 -> RE: Dr Who is coming back (4/4/2008 7:36:24 PM)

She was in some historical drama whose name escapes me, that I didn't watch (sorry! not fond of those)

I gather though that she makes an appearance in this new series at some stage!! [:)]



manda59 -> RE: Dr Who is coming back (4/4/2008 7:54:44 PM)

agapetos

Did you see David Tennant and Catherine Tate on the Jonathan Ross shw tonight?

Mansfield Park? It was shown about two months ago in the US, as part of Masterpiece Theater's Complete Jane Austen.

BTW, I just turned on Battlestar Galactica on SciFi a few minutes ago (they're showing a repeat before the first ep of the new season) and there was a promo for The Doctor!

All new season! All new attitude! April 18 on SciFi



manda59 -> RE: Dr Who is coming back (4/4/2008 9:28:39 PM)

hi stateofgrace

No, not Mansfield Park (I'd forgotten about that).

There was "Ruby in the Smoke" and its sequel, and then also "Secret Diary of a Call Girl". [&:][8|]

Nope, I was curled up in bed pretty early last night because I was so tired... I wonder if it's repeated at all... I've got freeview now[:D], it could be on that.

I'm looking forward to tonight. I was awake relatively early this morning and have been busy rearranging and tidying up (I bought a tv stand yesterday and put it up last night, so had a table to move and I've got to clean the kitchen out because my new freezer is going to be delivered on Wednesday[:D] ~ John Lewis phoned at 8.30am[&:] this morning to confirm that!).

Billie Piper is also going to be returning to Dr Who this series for at least 1 episode. Not sure which though ~ but she does seem to be keeping pretty busy with different things ~ she's a good little actress.



manda59 -> RE: Dr Who is coming back (4/5/2008 8:31:34 AM)

I *think* both she and Martha are going to be in the one with the Daleks.[:)]

Torchwood is now officially another thread!

I loved the Christmas episode. We watched it on-line....don't know where from. My hubby found it.



I thought I found it, mom!!!!![&:]



I'm looking forward to the new season of Doctor Who! Although, with Catherine Tate, I think it will probably be pretty corny. [:'(]



manda59 -> RE: Dr Who is coming back (4/5/2008 2:47:29 PM)

agapetos,

So, what did you think?

David Tennant was as fabulous and wonderful as I'd hoped, and then some [sm=heart.gif][sm=biggrin.gif]

Overall it was a good story (won't give it away - even though watching Wossy last night had given it away to me!). It also had a cuteness factor and provided a few laughs. I LOVED Bernard Cribbins as Donna's grandad (and the bit at the end gave all of us goosebumps! even my daughter, who hasn't "grown up" with Bernard as we have). Bernard was so utterly convincing and lent his own "magic" to the part.

Sarah Lancashire gave a convincing performance and IMO did OK. (I wonder how much her two henchmen got paid for apppearing but saying nothing! lol)

I found Donna annoying. Very annoying. She was more annoying than I thought she'd be - I honestly thought she might be all right. But to me she kept sounding like 2 or 3 of her characters from her comedy show and that for us really detracted from what was going on at the time. I felt too that she was overacting - I know she is meant to be a bit OTT and wacky, but personally think she overdid it.

(Was it me or was the woman playing her mother different from the one in the Christmas special?

And did you notice the "extra" who was a William Shatner look-alike? lol )

In the end I decided to just focus on David (not difficult) [sm=heart.gif][sm=icon_smile_idea.gif] and make her (Donna) minor and incidental. And that was much better.[sm=biggrin.gif]

Spoiler in white:

Woo hoo! Wasn't that just so cool at the end! I wasn't expecting that at all. hehehe

Ummm... if memory serves correctly, not all platforms have a white background... not that you really gave anything away (but yes, it was cool!)...

I watched Dr Who Confidential on BBC3 after (or most of it cos I fell asleep[&:]) and it was really interesting.

The Adipose kinda remind me of Star Trek's 'Tribbles' ~ there are just lots of them and they're not bad, just a nusiance! It was a fun episode though. Donna wasn't quite as bad as I thought she would be ~ though I haven't seen her comedy shows which may or may not help... I thought there was a striking resemblance between the reporter and Martha ~ but then I was really tired so maybe that influenced me... I shall watch the repeat tomorrow afternoon though (hopefully awake!) and consider it all then.
