First - AWESOME episode. I loved it, and can't wait to see how it ends this Friday.

Secondly, uh, isn't Jason Statham like, American? I mean, sure that isn't such a problem if he can do a Britsh accent, but come on, Doctor Who is British for god's sake. Unless I'm wrong and Jason is actually from the UK (or Europe in general and can do the accent properly?)

I just honestly cannot see anyone replacing David. He's been the best doctor yet by far, even more so than my former favorite Mr. Scarf man himself. I just really can't see anyone else in the role now. Then again I felt the same way about Pierce Brosnan as Bond (not that he was awesome in the role, but I liked him) and Casino Royale was a damn fine Bond movie. (Plus, I thought Timothy Dalton was an awesome Bond, but what do I know?)

No... he was born in London he's actually played some great roles in English(London) based movies :woot:

Plus I have not seen a translator anywhere and really its not important to the episode at the moment, take it on face value they were going to attack Doctor and Donna but didn't when he quoted that so its like a password or passphrase.

I have a feeling it will be Rose as Dalek Caan predicts death to "The Doctors most faithfull companion" and I see no reason why that would be Donna.

Surely the most faithfull companion is K9 (a Time Lord's best friend!)?

The wasn't the last episode of the season was it? Seems odd he's regenerating mid-season.. unless he's not going to show up next episode.

Not the first time there has been a mid-series regeneration - The Tenth Planet was the second story of series 4 and saw the First Doctor's renewal into the Second Doctor...

They put him up there because of how quirky he was in Jonathan Creek.

Which is rumoured for a comback this Xmas - he may be too busy to take over...

...He's been the best doctor yet by far, even more so than my former favorite Mr. Scarf man himself.

Sacrilege! Tom Baker is the best doctor, ever :(

LOC may have meant Sylvestor McCoy who also had a scarf... :p

Remember that another David, who also shares a pretty similer name as a Neil from Men Behaving Badly, stars in the christmas episode. Now I'd love him as a full time doctor.

Alan Davis won't be bad, the xmas ep for his show is probably filming at the moment. He could do a run for a few years.

Just watching some show on BBC2 with Graham Norton, and James Nesbitt more or less confirmed that he won't be the next doctor.

Catherine Tate said that the Doctor is definitely regenerating at the end of the last episode.

I wish they would stop airing Weakest Link that and Deal or No Deal they have now well past their good times.

    • Motrix Next 3.9.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.4 changelog: Motrix Next 3.9.4 promotes the 3.9.4 beta cycle to stable. This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields. Magnet and ED2K lifecycle support — Added task lifecycle handling for magnet and ED2K links. History cleanup for deleted tasks — Deleted tasks can now remove matching history records. User-Agent management — Added user-agent management and improved related network preference controls. Browser extension documentation — Added the Firefox Add-ons link for the Motrix Next extension. Improvements Engine binaries — Updated bundled binaries for supported architectures. Task Detail readability — Long task names, URLs, tracker values, and copyable metadata now render more clearly.

      NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.

      TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.

      Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
