[Official] Doctor Who Thread


Recommended Posts

Best Series + Finale ever! I was getting to the conclusion that was rumoured about The Doctor not coming back. And XMAS and Series 6 being just flash-backs/Amelia's Dreams etc. But so glad he's back. Can't wait for XMAS and Series 6. Really want to know who caused the Silence and who River Song Is!

I still hold the uncommon view that Matt Smith is still better than Tennant though! If this was a Tennant/RTD episode the unnecessary gurning/stupid grinning/over acting going on would have made me sick. Harsh, probably, but I will slink off now and retire before the flames. (sorry!)

I think so too. Matt reminds me of the older Doctors. I've like the writing overall this season and found it better than RTD.

yeah its the skittyness that make it, always kinda seems like he's making it up as he goes along and is surprised when things happen, like when he was flashing bk through the series.

and thats exactly what the doctor should be like, Tenant got to confident at the end

And the writing is because Moffat is just great! RTD wasn't.

Bloody good episode!

I can't wait for the next series, Season 5's writing has been far better than that of the last few seasons, I liked David Tennant, but he was always let down by the cheesefest that Russel T Davies would write.

Can't wait for the 6th series, going to be great. :D

Ah dammit, I've just realised we have to wait another year to find out why there were no ducks in the duck pond :pinch: And for some reason that was the question I wanted answered the most too :rofl:

Unless of course the crack ate the ducks, in which case, bad crack!

So who exactly was the important person returning in the episode? The only thing I can think of was Amelia as she was kinda they key that moved things along sorta. Still, can't wait for next series now that I've watched it again. Love that they didn't explain the silence or who caused the Tardis to go wonky. And ooooo River Song, more River = good.

Well after the awesome part one, I feel totally left down by this episode. I dunno why I just can't get into this new direction under Moffat/Smith. I seriously thought last episode was the turning point, I was hooked, then BAM, shot down again with this episode.

Although I will say I am hanging to find out just what/who the silence is

The first part of the season finale provided so much potential for a terrific, high octane second part, but to my disappointment it was so boring! In less than a few minutes, all the baddies in the first part just disappeared, and the explanation to why was so lame. Why did the Pandorica open so fast when Amelia touched it compared to the first part? I was hoping for those action packed baddies vs the Doctor finales, but all they did was talked and talked and talked. The only bad guy was a single fricken Dalek who died half way through!

I think I'm the only person who isn't looking forward to River being more prominent... Something about her character really annoys me, but I can't quite put my finger on exactly what it is.

Anyway, great season. Hopefully they do a holiday special or two like usual :D

    • Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
