[Official] Doctor Who Thread


Recommended Posts

I have no idea where people are getting this "Series 1" stuff from. Everywhere I've been says that it's called Series 5.

oh and all of these haters are hilarious, I don't see how you can judge a character from a rushed 15 second scene and a minute or so trailer, but then I guess it's the same whenever something "new" replaces the old.

Because "Series 5" is a reboot; new cast, new crew and new writers (being recorded in HD this series too) even has a brand new logo:

To the "haters" comment, firstly we humans are creatures of habit we don't like change (always find excuses to cling to the past) and secondly the same "hate" occurred when David first took over. After Matt has done a few shows (or a series) I'm sure most of the haters will be fine with him by then :)

never! she needs to return! :p

She'll probably cost to much now though :( with her being all golden globe nominated :(

She probably will too, the weeping angels are set to return (along with the Daleks, don't these guys get the hint? :laugh: ) and considering she's had experience dealing with them before, *maybe* she is called on to deal with them again but that could be just wishful thinking! :p

I don't mind the Daleks personally. I mean they are the primary villain and the episodes they have been involved in have mostly been good. Cybermen, not so much. Personally find them useless. At least the Daleks are strong and clever, not completely thick bare metal bones like the Cybermen.

One of the best regenerations stories ever. I loved how he got to visit all his friends one last time. I always thought Tom Baker's show was the best until now but I'll have to say that this one ranks right there beside it.

One thing I didn't get is what happened to the Master? Did he get sucked back with the rest of the Time Lords?

And I see why the Doctor is so scarred by the Time War. He had to turn against his own people there are the end.

I think the Master did get sucked in there with the Time Lords, but I'm also sure we'll see the Master again down the road :D

BTW, did any of you guys see the Catherine Tate show's Xmas special? With David Tennant as the "feminine" ghost of christmas present lol just awesome.

This. Every episodes that involved the Daleks, thus far, were quite epic, that had me on the edge of the seat. I'd definitely want to see more of the Daleks.

No, do you have a link to it plz ? Thx.

Was pretty epic on the classroom special last time too ;)

I've a question, after the doctor regenerate does he remember his life before he regenerated or does he forget everything?

He does remember everything, tho he might not know who is the new himself.

I dont think he got sucked in, Im sure he used the last of his lifeforce to finish them off, and just vaportated?

I love how he was refusing to regenerate though, Im guessing thats why his regeneration was so damaging to the tardis?

If he remembers why was he so upset and in tears when talking about it to Wilfred? :unsure:

Because that "persona" will die, and never come back (kinda) so in essence he dies as well. Plus, as an actor he was probably asking to make sure that kind of scene was emotional and all. I don't blame him since he was a major fanboy of the show to begin with :D

The Unicorn & The Wasp, The Shakespeare Code - Didn't like either of those, made the historical characters too simple and there was no real depth to anything.

The Unquiet Dead, The Idiot's Lantern - Better than the two above but uses zombie like characters for a chase in awkward moments. Good stories though.

    • I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.
    • It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
