Dr Who Spoilers!

Ok here are some new spoilers but keep them secret, they arn’t meant to be shown yet!

One Christmas special maybe?

One of the specials next year is probably going to be set in Elizabethan times since in the Shakespeare code, Queen Elizabeth calls the doctor her sworn enemy … none of the episodes in season 4 are set in Elizabethan times and if their going to do it they’ll have to do it while Tennant is still the doctor because otherwise Queen Elizabeth wouldn’t have recognised him.

Extra Christmas Special?

A little more info about the Christmas Special. Dervla Kirwan is now pretty much confirmed as being in the Christmas special, being as she has been seen filming a scene with the two Davids. Her character is called Mrs Hartigan, or Hartinger or something of a similar sound. His assistant for this story may be called Rosita.

A scene has been overheard with a Cyberman saying he does not match their visual records, does this mean they are NOT Cybus Cybermen I wonder?

Later episodes? From Season 4…

Maybe some sort of huge bee?
For some reason the doctor breaths out this sort of cloudy substance…?
For sure Rose Tyler comes back (last seen when Donna tells her something(car keys), wears blue coat)!
Daleks come back fore sure also!
Captain Jack Comes back.

This is all for the Dr Who in 2008 and christmas, maybe more. I’ll try and keep you updated!

KLC, Torchwood is already on region 2 dvd, which you should be able to play on your PC.
—
It’s no secret that the Sontarans are back for this one, and other adventures are going to include meeting Agatha Christie and a visit to Pompei on the eve of the eruption.
Plus Donna, Martha, and Rose all making trips in the Tardis. Two weeks until Torchwood 2 (with James Marsters and Martha), and three months until DW4.
Whoot, whoot!
–
BTW, how come PZ gets better billing than Phil?

Christmas Special will probably be aired when Sci-Fi channel airs Season 4 as the first episode. That’s what they did last season.

Now what I really want to see is the Children in Need special. Five and Ten team-up! I must see this!

And are they ever going to put Torchwood on DVD? I need more Capt. Jack but I don’t have cable and can’t go to my parents’ in the middle of the week to catch it on BBC America.

Sergeant Zim, I’m an old whovian who also loves the new series. My wife pretty much just rolls her eyes at the old, but really enjoys the new.

I watched the new episode.

I liked it very much, because after a such long time without the doctor, this glorifying of him gave me orgasms.

Also, I was high.

I’m a classical Whovian who loves the new Who. My wife used to despise the old Who, but I managed to get her to watch a few episodes of the new Who, and now she’s hooked (she still can’t stand the classic).

The news that Rose is coming back is, as Christopher Eccelston used to say, “FANTASTIC!”.

PZ ought to love the Ood; I have to wonder, though, do the Ood follow the teachings of the FSM????

Phil wrote “But a lot of people find this blog searching for the show too,”.
I actually found the BA site after I saw an article in the official Doctor Who Magazine. They were looking at ‘the fact in fiction’ of the 1966 story ‘The Tenth Planet’, and mentioned this site as giving some proper scientific background as to the idea of an additional solar planet. I’ve been a regular reader since.

There’s a slightly better quality teaser at the Beeb’s own website.

Kimpatsu, I just watched DW’s first season. I will watch the 2nd season next week. I’m really enjoying Doctor Who. I Hope I like these Ood.

Sorry for the bad english.

I thought the Christmas special was the weakest episode since the last series started, despite being a big ratings success with about 13 million viewers.

It started well, but then began to look like a cross between the Poseidon Adventure and Blakes 7. No real tension, lots of lame self-parodying jokes and a weak script. Lots of missed opportunities for good character acting in the bit parts too.

I’m also a bit concerned by the somewhat overblown image the Doctor is developing into. Put Steven Moffatt in charge of scripting and stick to original tight scripts.

I spotted Percy from Blackadder in the teaser!

A DW Christmas Special is never going to be 2001 or Solaris, Phil. It’s a family show on steroids, an adventure that has to tick off checklist items like “comedy”, “romance”, “tragedy” and about a dozen others, because it’s designed specifically to appeal to a roomful of people slumped in front of a tv after a day of non-stop pigging-out and Baileys drinking! Think of a film like Shrek – slapstick for kids, romance for some adults, smart-ass quips for others… and all coated with a generous layer of cheese. A “Blink” would go down on Christmas Day like a bad case of wind in a spacesuit – too much thinking needed to enjoy it with a tummy full of turkey. So yeah, it was a bit of a pantomime (oh yes it was!) but that’s the idea, because RTD understands that although the wobbly corridors, sparkler special effects and held-together-with-flour-and-water-paste sets have all gone, there’s still plenty of FUN left in Dr Who.

Can’t wait to see Martha return in Torchwood too.

I just watched it with the family.

Um. Yeah.

Parts of it were really good, but it was, well, just a tad bit overdone. Or actually, hugely and grossly overdone. I got my cheese quota for like a year.

Still, there were some fun parts; he does get in some great lines. I’m looking forward to the Ood. And I recognize those eyes… it looks like one of my favorite alien enemies is coming back.

Dadgummit, I can’t figure out where to find the Christmas special so I can watch it. DirecTV and TiVo do not appear to be providing the winning combination. Have I missed out entirely?

Who’s the woman with the sonic screwdriver? I don’t think it’s Mrs. Saxon, but the Rani, perhaps? O.o I saw the special this morning. No spoilers, but I laughed; I cried; it was better than Cats. If it weren’t for the fact that we could see the eyes at the end, I’d almost say that was Davros. Oh, the suspense is killing me. *iz ded*

Never got into Dr. Who myself, though I did thoroughly enjoy season I of Torchwood.

Renan, the “squid-like aliens” are the Ood, from the Season 2 two-parter The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit.
Also, the bespectacled hottie who’s seen holding a pil lshe calls the “spark of life” and then seems to be using a sonic screwdriver–would that be the Master’s ex-wife from season 3?
Oh, and catch the new Torchwood trailer–it includes James Masters.
British SciFi rocks!

Wow, Evil Cultists and Squid-like aliens? The fourth season seems a bit Cthulhu-ish, don’t you think?

Okay, That fact that it was the highest rated episode since the new serires return should mean something. and remember The video preview from the Xmas episodes are always only for episodes 1-5 at most. The show is strong. What we need to remember is the show IS different from the original series, and The Purists(old whovians) are resistant to change.

It’s new Who for a new generation. Classic Who = apples, New Who = Oranges.
