The episode was way too confusing. What was that voice, why he steal tardis, what's with the different control rooms and corridors? How do you build tardis console without any power tools? Outside the universe?

A bit of that was explained in the episode... he steals the Tardis because there are no more Tardis' to lure in and eat anymore, so he has to go out to find something else to do :p The Tardis say's she archives every previous control room - and the Tardis has always had corridors (going back to the pre-2005 series of Doctor Who - the Tardis is a LOT bigger on the inside - lots of rooms and corridors). A

nd he was in a Tardis junkyard with a sonic screw driver I suppose, a sonic screw driver can do wonders :D He just picks up random pieces of old eaten Tardis', builds them like LEGO, and then sonic screwdrivers them so they play nicely.

Boring episode other than the fact that David Tennants control room was still there, the new Doctors control room looks tacky and childish compared. Its nice that the Tardis has never ending corridors with no doors in, how completely interesting.

If you watch Confidential afterwards, they really explain the control rooms much better really. The old control room reflected the darker Chris Eccelston persona (aka just nuked his own people in the Time War etc) and the new control room reflects the new Doctor's persona which is playful and a bit goofy (and certainly in a better place mentally than the 9th and 10th Doctor).

Also, in the end, it's always the Doctor and the Tardis. He loves the Tardis more than anything else in the Universe, and as it turns out the Tardis loves him (when Idris disappears in the control room, you can just barely hear her say "I love you" to him, and in confidential, they upped the volume on it so you heard it much more clearly) in fact - the Tardis stole him and not the other way around. It's literally the ultimate fantasy for the Doctor to have the Tardis take a physical form and it be a female of course.

Neil Gaiman wrote this episode, this is why the episode was so good. He's an amazing writer to begin with, and a huge DW fan. Not every episode has to have non-stop action or explain everything about the last season to be "good" as it were.

Why was it great?

I cant think of anything that stood out compared to any other episode.

This is just my opinion, but the reason I thought it was great was because the iconic Blue Box got a voice, and because of that we learn a lot more about the Doctor's relationship with the TARDIS. His greatest love and his greatest companion has been under his nose (our's too) the whole time. It's a character development episode.

A side note, I'm starting to get bored with Amy and Rory.

I enjoyed last nights episode, it was good character development for Matt Smith which I think he has been very short of tonight.

We have always known that the TARDIS goes where the Doctor is needed and it was very nice for them to actually set in stone rather than it being unspoken like it has all these years. Also iirc there was an organic humanoid TARDIS in some stories, so it felt like a nod to that in this episode as well.

That line was also great

House - "Fear me I have killed 100's of timelords"

Doctor - "Fear me I killed them all"

LOL :)

Heres hoping the next episodes keep up the standard.

also that the TARDIS keeps copies of the controls rooms is pretty cool as well :)

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft offered a look at the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake at the Xbox Games Showcase today.

The studio says that the story for these missions was written in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi author Troy Denning. "Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history," adds Halo Studios. Today's new trailer showed off the game in action, including the new missions. Catch it below. Halo Campaign Evolved is coming out on July 28, 2026.

      To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.

      KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

      "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.
