[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

    • Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky      
    • Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
