[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.

    • What? They aren't removing the disc drive and charging $800 for questionable performance upgrades? How outrageous!
    • Bummer it's only 1TB instead of 2. I had one of those - the "Halo Special Edition" OG Xbox. This looks like a cool update.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.3 is out.
    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
