Wow, I remember that from back in the day! I watched that on PBS (like all the old DW) one night at like 3 am and was all wibbly wobbly :D

True. Same with Martha Jones and how she "died" in Doomsday but they explained it away that it was her cousin who was in that episode (a twin cousin??? lol). Yuppppp.

No -- remember other realities-- you know other timelines-- as long as the Dr. Gets someone back in their proper timestream everything works out...

You know kind of like he meets himself.....

He could go and get the girl in red before she crashed -- travel with her -- then drop her off moments after she "left" .... You know...

The close up shot of the face at the end is Smith's face, but it made me do a double take because I thought it was Eccelston.

Wasn't particularly a fan of the Sularian episodes last season, and given this episode was written by the same guy... well, it was fun, but some of those lines made me cringe. Not the type of lines the writers usually go for... :p A bit out of character for the Doctor too there at the end, though I must say the CGI was surprisingly good for a Who episode.

Loved it, good fun although I'm not sure how they'll get away with some of the more innuendo-ish lines without complaint from the Mary Whitehouse brigade.

Is it me or didn't the Mitchell and Webb robots look like the aliens in The Fifth Element? :)

They should have put feathers on the raptors, in accordance with current fossil evidence.

If they would do that they should also have changed the script as pterodactyls do not exist. They are pterosaurs.

I'm not talking about pterodactyls though, current fossil evidence suggests velociraptors had feathers also, just like a flightless bird.

I understand that completely, I was stating that if they are going to change that they should change the other as well.

and more

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      The consumer ESU is ending in 4 months. LTSC isn't now, never has been, and never will be for consumer use, it is for OT usage - plant machinery, medical devices, manufacturing equipment etc. LTSC requires a Microsoft EA. You can't legally obtain LTSC to run on your PC at home.

      Hmm actually looks decently interesting!  
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      Being on GitHub doesn't make something safe. Like any unofficial scripts to do x or y this caters to people with just enough knowledge to be dangerous. If you want to do what this does, and you actually know what you're doing then write your own script (or maybe just add the reg keys yourself) if you don't have the ability to read and understand what a script is doing, and especially don't run it with elevated privileges. Or in this case just use an MSA, sign up the normal route, and stop trying to push water up hill
