I'd imagine it's that red Dalek that Davros creates. But, who knows.

*Edit* Wait wait, that Dalek is in chains, wasn't that in an episode of the 2nd series "Dalek" when Rose touched it and it came back to life pretty much? That looks way to familiar. Perhaps it's just a pic from that episode that they never used?

thats pretty much what i was thinking. probably a promo shot or something.

as for the episode...wow...incredible episode. donna is finally coming around. took ong enough. hell i hated martha too for so long. this was easily one of the best episodes of the entire new series. cant wait for the next episode cause it looks even better!

Was a really good episode.

While nothing exciting or out of this world happened, it was nice to set the story and get things moving for the final of this years series.

Nice to see rose properly in an episode, but my god, its like a super special guest episode next week of every main character in the Doctor Who universe, lol.

Looking forward to it. :D

well werent these originally going to be the last of the new series until tennant signed for another season? i think thats why they have everyone back. its going to be quite epic. question will be how will season5 be able to match it?

The Q&A underneath contains a few spoilers as such, but ....

There is certainly some good news concerning Donna in the Q&A under the blurb, well it's good for me :p

Are they seriously gonna nuke Donna already? I can't believe that. I mean I hated her at the start also, but I really warmed up to her now. Sigh.

Also, I really, really hope Alex Kingston returns as a companion in Series 5 (the woman from the Forest of the Dead, aka ER chick) because they really left that hanging, and it was pretty obvious she was a companion from this future (duh) but that would also mean David wouldn't return, since she obviously was another Doctor's companion. Bleh.

Some more juicy spoilers for you....

The Doctor is shot and 'killed' by a Dalek at the end of 'The Stolen Earth' and undergoes an unusual 'regeneration' which will see two doctors appearing in the series final 'Journey's End'. What will become of Doctor number 2? Will Rose get to hear those unspoken words that she was meant to hear back at Bad Wolf Bay?

Donna does indeed 'die', but the Doctor intervenes and travels back in time to save her and asks her grandfather 'Wilf' to ensure that she's never made aware of the events that happened to her. This is particularly reminiscent of when Donna asked the Doctor at the end of the 'Fires of Pompeii' episode to save just one of the doomed family that were to be killed by the erupting Mount Vesuvius. The Doctor can make a difference!

The new Davros reveals just how little of his original Kaled body is actually left (only spinal column and heart) after years of DNA experimentation in trying to farm the Dalek race.

Both 'Martha Jones' and 'Mickey Smith' join Captain Jack's 'Torchwood' team for the much shorter series 3.

R.I.P. Harriet Jones (Flydale North MP and Ex-Prime Minister)

4 'TV Specials' to air in 2009, 1 at Easter (April 2009) and a 3-Parter to be aired during Christmas\New Year. Actors 'John Simm', 'Brian Blessed' and 8th Doctor 'Paul McGann' to appear.

Series 5 - Old foe the 'Sea Devils' make a welcome return.

Do you have sources for any of this? I have heard some of them before but...

Possible, but I think if he were shot by a Dalek, he would stay exterminated (unless the Red Daleks have different weapons??)

I think she does die, but I'm not sure about the Doctor saving her from a previous timeline - depends if she was the winning sacrifice or not...

The new Davros reveals just how little of his original Kaled body is actually left (only spinal column and heart) after years of DNA experimentation in trying to farm the Dalek race.

Well, we do know that he lost a hand / arm last time we saw him... I expect that he has turned a little more insane since then so he may well have been replacing parts left, right and centre!

Both 'Martha Jones' and 'Mickey Smith' join Captain Jack's 'Torchwood' team for the much shorter series 3.

Not confirmed, as far as I'm aware...

R.I.P. Harriet Jones (Flydale North MP and Ex-Prime Minister)

May not be seen on screen - not confirmed in cast lists yet...

I hope that's only for 1 or 2 episodes and not as the big bad...

I can't and won't reveal my source as his job at the BBC would be at stake. Preview tapes of episode 12 (with the ending removed) were shown to the press last week. If anybody has any specific questions I'll try to answer them as accurately as possible.

Oh well I am not sold but all will be revealed over the coming weeks :)

What part of the storyline are you not sold on Rappy?

2010 is a way off I know but the BBC are keen to keep David Tennant on for a 5th Series:

Can't wait for the next episode. Just caught up with Series 4. Had to go back and finish watching Runaway Bride, couldn't sit through it the first time around.

Regarding next year's Specials, it's interesting that they're planning the 3-parter at Christmas. I thought it was going to be a 4 episodes spread throughout the year. If the spoilers are true, that is. They must be going for something truly, er... special.

Also, since Tennant is busy for the rest of the year, will there be a 2008 Christmas special?

      It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
