NEW Doctor Who Geeks thread

[MrsWho]

old one

Have not been able to log on until now. My quick thoughts

plot: Bit too twee on the whole, I liked the 'miming' bit but need much more Stephen Moffatt stuff.

CT: could have been worse though did lapse dangerously once or twice (bit near the end about 'mating' in particular - I winced). Still not happy about her but we'll see.

Rose: jumped up and down and squealed like a five year old

DT: Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i agree, it must be difficult to say 'er, Rusty, this plot doesn't really hang together, ya know? what's the big deal with the pill, everyone's happy aren't they?'

Sphil something in Times about that too!

The Times! Blimey...

Must be true then

dtm is now off to cardiff for the w.e given how DT has split fomr his new GF! lol.

is it me thou or not only was that first ep rather weak, but also there was far too much music, & it wasn't really the music that fitted in.

hoping they don't try to get to epic with it all like the xmas special.

even the rose bit returning didn't get me so excited

oh it was definitely weak imo, no question. no real jeopardy.

The first of the runs always are though. You know new assistants settling in etc. Next week it will be oohh look were we can go, and then the assistant will realise that with great power comes great responsibilty ect (soory nicked that of Spiderman )

lol. dunno thou I loved the first one wiht rose/DT. that one was good, but yes I guess you're right didn't think so much of martha's first one.

i can't actually remember the first eps. oh no, hang on, martha's was the hospital on the moon? it was okay...

It'll hot up soon enough. And now that we know that theres usually a theme running throught the series that will lead to the climax we can try and work out what is significant and whats not.
And anyway, when we where kids the costumes and sets were creeky and a bit rubbish at times. Now its the plot that a bit creeky. It wouldn't be Doctor Who without a bit of creekiness somewhere

apparantly this years theme is a bit who/what/where/when rather than a 'word'

Metella in atrium sedet!

tonights was pretty bloody awful as well. household gods indeed. don't get yourself in a lather - hells bells, it's not comedy! (especially with la tate) when will it pick up!? whennnnnn?? Rusty you are ticking me off.

in happier news - the doctor who exhibition is coming to Kelvingrove museum in Glasgow next year, in March. it's a year away and we're already very very excited in the snape household. it's my sons 11th birthday the week after it opens - we're having birthday picnic in kelvingrove park with all the small boys, then off to see the daleks!

Does it mean 'Medella sits in the atrium' by any chance?

Oddly enough it does... see, I retained Latin.

Never thought I would see the characters from the latin books in an episode of Dr Who

yay!!!!! cambridge latin course!!!!!!
caecilius' family was the dullest ever... I guess the joke is that this is their secret story which they were not allowed to mention to anyone ever.....

but that was the only good bit of the episode really. otherwise I think the adipose episode was much better.

Did you watch Confidential? Apparently both Russell T and one of the producers used the same textbooks at school.

What are the chances of Diogene the little saussicon-chien from O-level French cropping up on Dr Who, though.

Terrible episode in all other respects

Missed confidential - will find it later

I was wondering what on earth I'd done to upset you for a moment there persephone!

I remember the Cambridge Latin course! - in fact we were the first school to use it - it hadn't been propoerly published yet & it was in little orange pamphlets.
I haven't actually seen this episode yet as DS was watching West Brom on sky - is it repeated tomorrow or will I have to find it on Iplayer?

rusty you're just fine with me --- unless you happen to write/direct/cast the darn thing in which case you shall have a hard stare....

cath tate was terrible. So annoying. She can't act at all!

I wish they would get Catherine Tate a sports bra 'cos her bouncing tits when she runs are very annoying.

Household gods bit at the end was something a 10 year old would think up. Silly ending.

I wish Tate would stop lapsing into her other characters when ever she gets into a spot of bother, she sounds like bloody Nan virtually every time she gets in trouble

That's all she was doing though - her characters. It really doesn't work. Think they've made a big mistake casting her
