*BRAND NEW Doctor Who Geeks Thread

[KayHarker]

Thought I'd kick it off so we have a new thread for the final leg

Old Thread for the people what likes it all neat 'n' stuff.

It is. It's the Doctor's old hand from when he first regenerated, cut off by the Sycorax leader.

blue suit doctor and brown suit doctor? parallel doctors? botched regeneration?

hand growing a whole new doctor instead of the other way around (once they take it out of it's pickle jar...)

Donna wouldn't necessarily need a fob watch - if she's a lady-time-lord then she would probably have a locket or some such - might be possible, but she is 'normal' in her humanity, not brilliant like jacobi-master (although everyone keeps saying she is brilliant) and wouldn't the drums send her nut-soh as well? having stared into the vortex, void thing but then that would explain why the doctor can't smell the raaaaaaaaaaaaaaneeeeeee!!

i read somehwere that joan collins was playing the rani though - was that just a rumour?

The hand was kep tby Captain Jack as his "Doctor Detector" - as seen bubbling at the end of Torchwood 1st series and "swtiched" acorss to the end of the last Docotr WHo series. Having made his peace witht he Docotr, he then left it behind in the Tardis.

We're dangerously close to making this a waaaayyy big spoilery thread, m'dears...

'twas only the Master that went mad after looking into the untempered schism (which is, quite co-incidently, the name of my street ). That doesn't happen as a matter of course, the Doctor doesn't have drums etc.

But I'll have whatever it is you're having, PS

Kay, You live in Untempered Schism Street?!!!! Wow, I'd love an address like that.

I don't think we're having a Rani this year. But if we ever are, I'd like her to be played by someone rather more hot and sultry than Joan Collins. Maybe Stephanie Leonidas (I can but hope...)

So hot that 'The website declined to show this page'.

Really?! It's only a head-&-shoulders shot - fully clothed and everything!!

Her?

Not the best pic of her...

? (bit soft-focus, or possibly just blown up too big)

ooh bugger, i don't mean to be spoilery, i'm just speculatory. I have absolutely NO foundation for any of these silly ideas!

did i mention started watching from season one again? On reflection, eccleston was a lot more brusque than tennant wasn't he? always going on about bloomin' 'umans, masking the fact that he loooooves us silly mono hearted bipeds with the opposable thumbs.

Yes, Eccleston had that appealing and very Doctorish "distance" that Tom Baker had. Tennant is more "human" like Davison. JN- yes, that's her.

But not as 'human' as Doctor Eight, eh?

what's a rani?

Evil!Timelord (or lady, but I think Timelady sounds pants tbh) from Classic Who, that a lot of fanboys want back - speculation was that the hand picking up the Masters ring was The Rani rather than his wife.

The Rani

I'm sure the Doctor has mentioned Miasimia Goria, as I'm too young to really remember the first time around (although I do remember I loved it, I think I'm quite similar to Ace in a way so maybe what drew me to it, I remember I liked her) so I don't think it's in my memory banks from the past. Can anyone remember when or why he's mentioned it?

I'm starting to think that the rani just got a bad press because she's an intelligent woman and she's actually quite nice - like the wicked witch of the west in wizard of Oz Vs the 'wicked' witch of the west in 'wicked'.

I don't know if this has been linked to before, but the beeb has put up clip for 'The Stolen Earth' I really liked it - great foreboding

That looks ACE!!!

Oh wow! I've shivers watching that!

wow sent shivers down my spine

wish Gwen and Tosh weren't in it though. There'll be loads of talking over it by ds2, 'who's he?' 'who's she?' 'How do they know Captain Jack?' Actually I might brief my ds's before it starts - how sad is that!

Not Tosh - Ianto.
