number 8 :woot: so Hartnell and probably Troughton again?

I can't remember him saying that this series since the first episode

He said it once in The Beast Below, and that's it for this series so far.

My guess is the phrase will either be "Bow ties are cool" or something to do with bow ties :D

Thought this was a great ep. The ending gallery scene was really good :yes:

Same... it's probably my favourite episode of the season so far, followed by the first episode. Sulustrian story was too strung out, Dalek episode was just a let down at all corners, first part of the Weeping Angels was weak. Heck, apart from this weeks episode there's nothing else that particularly sticks out as special in my mind, and it did have the women in my family well up in tears which was nice :) A lot of the reviews marked it down for being too "Richard Curtis" - but I don't think anyone outside of the reviewers cares, for a Doctor Who episode it was probably the most emotionally touching episode out of the season (dare I say more emotionally touching than Tennants Ending), it was something special and actually made me want to find out more about Van Gough, and brilliant acting all round!

And bow ties are cool :p

Russell T. Davies 'loves new 'Who''

Russell T. Davies has said that he "loves" the new series of Doctor Who.

The former showrunner admitted that he now enjoys watching the show as a fan without having to worry about the "hard work" that goes into it.

"The greatest responsibility the Doctor Who team has now is getting me a disc every single week out to Los Angeles, which I sit and watch every Saturday night and love," he told the BBC.

"I don?t miss it actually. I?m a viewer now. I watch the episodes and, apart from loving them, my overriding thought is, ?Oh, that?s hard work.? So part of me is very glad not to be sweating over that Tardis again."

Davies praised the performances of Matt Smith and Karen Gillan, adding: "What a glorious new age. It?s the show that?ll never die."

He later joked: "The only thing I?d change is I?d make 20 episodes a year. I?m sure they?ll be glad to hear that. More Doctor Who, that?s what we need."

5.13 "The Big Bang"

The Doctor is gone, the Tardis has been destroyed, and the universe is collapsing. The only hope for all reality is a little girl who still believes in stars, as this series of Doctor Who concludes with an episode written by Steven Moffat.

The Doctor is played by Matt Smith and Amy Pond by Karen Gillan.

Damn you Rappy for making me read those spoilers...

This episode on Saturday - The Lodger, confuses the hell out of me the more I see of it. We appear to be moving further away from sci-fi each week and I really really want to see an episode where they visit a goddamn alien planet instead of constantly following English Humans all the time.

Rant over.

Well you learn something new everyday... Smith wanted to be a professional footballer, guess he did play his own football in that clip :p Looks there's going to be a nice fun character story here, probably a rubbish villain.

Dammit I want REAL cybermen!!

I agree. Unfortunately it seems the classic Cybermen have been forgotten in favor of the "Pete's World" Cybusmen. I'd love to see an update of the real thing, preferably kicking Cybusman rear.

I have been quite open about my dislike for the story lines of the latest series however I must say that I actually enjoyed tonights episode, and last weeks. The characters have really made the last two, and a lack of Amy ponds stupid remarks in this episode really made it enjoyable.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
