Doctor Who 2014

[Tonyblack]

Erm . . . I don't have a TV, so I haven't seen any of the trailers. This was the first I knew of it.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

Ah. I'd forgotten about that!

Sorry.

 

[David Brown]

Ah. I'd forgotten about that!

Sorry.

And likewise.

 

[Tonyblack]

Wow! What an incredible climax to the radio series!! To The Death.

 

[The Mad Collector]

Erm . . . I don't have a TV, so I haven't seen any of the trailers. This was the first I knew of it.

I don't have a TV either but

Spoiler

was aware of the Cyberman appearance from other sources, it's been a bit tricky to avoid if you follow the Doctor threads anywhere. The re-use of imagery from the first cyberman invasion of Earth back in the 1960's was brilliant.

Very dark episode much better than I expected but like Jack

Spoiler

I was expecting The Rani

actually quite disappointed that it wasn't, it would have been yet another link to the series history. Of course bearing in mind this is Moffat at his most convoluted it may yet be.....

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Dark Water the best episode yet.

 

[Jack Remillard]

The standoff between Clara and the Doctor was so tense! Brilliant television.

 

[Jack Remillard]

It is too early to speak for the finale, but for me this season hasn't been particularly low on re-watchable episodes that I've really enjoyed compared to other seasons. I think it has definitely improved towards the end.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

I've been very disappointed by this series, and feel sorry for Peter Capaldi, as he's had some utter crap to work with (IMHO).

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Got to agree with you Bouncy most of them have not been that good, with the exception of the last week's Dark Water which I thought was very good, I hope this week's is just as good and faith will be restored.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

I thought the bit about

Spoiler

the dead screaming "don't cremate me"

was a little disturbing, but am interested to see how Moffat sorts it all out.

There's a guy on BBC POV boards who won't have a thing bad said against the show, and is incredibly arrogant and rude to people who have differing opinions to him.

I believe it was Mirandashell who told him that he'd watch a pile of elephant poo if Moffat sculpted it!

I said on POV:

I'm watching because I've loved DW since I was a kid (Pertwee era), but I'm really not feeling the love for this series.

I'll still continue to watch (coz, let's face it - there's buggre all else on!), but it pains me to say, that I'm not particularly enjoying it.

He replied:

That's OK. I'm enjoying it, and so are most of my friends and family. I don't much care if anyone else is, though I still think the majority are. It's always the minority who dislike things who are the most keen to make themselves heard.

 

[mirandashell]

It's amazing how self-centred and yet self-unaware he is. Bless him.

:-D

 

[Bouncy Castle]

I know. Astonishing.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

That's a bit like saying every single book that Pterry has written is absolutely brilliant, while a lot are excellent there are some that I think are just OK IMP (without the humble bit)

 

[Bouncy Castle]

In Your Pinion? :whistle:

Yes, that's exactly how he thinks. Doctor Who/Moffat/Whoever can do no wrong, and we are all stupid if we dare to think otherwise.

 

[Jack Remillard]

I think this is an issue where there isn't an absolute right or wrong. Lots of people thought it was good for various reasons, and lots of people thought it was crap for other reasons. I don't think anybody's stupid for feeling either way.

 

[David Brown]

I think in some ways it's been a better series than the last one or two, "The Day of the Doctor" being ignored as not part of a season. Some episodes have been a bit silly, but they've been stylish and have had underlying serious themes, regardless. And it's not as though silly is a new thing on the show. Anyone seen "The Web Planet" lately?

 

[Molokov]

I'm just wondering why the Doctor hasn't been actively trying to seek out Gallifrey's location? After all, it was made a big point in Night of the Doctor that Gallifrey hadn't been destroyed, it was locked away, and then they magically gave Matt Smith a stack more regenerations, but as soon as he turned into Peter Capaldi, the quest to find Gallifrey totally slipped his mind and it's just off on more adventures with Clara...

 

[David Brown]

Maybe he doesn't know where to look. Or it genuinely has slipped his mind. He seems to have forgotten a lot in his new body. How to fly the TARDIS, although that came back pretty quickly... which one is Clara and which the short bald one in space armour... the clockwork androids... the Cybermen... the ability to spot not only a Time Lord, but which Time Lord, even after a regeneration... The list goes on.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

It has been a challenging series for me to watch so far but he seems to have settled a bit into the role, hope the rest are as good as last weeks episode.
