[Official] Doctor Who Thread


Recommended Posts

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...

Timeywimey Wibble Wobblie

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.

A Town Called Mercy airs at 7.35pm on Saturday 15th September on BBC One. To whet your appetite, here are ten teasing lines of dialogue from the episode...

? "When I was a child my favourite story was about a man who lived forever."

? "We're like buses."

? "Why would he want to kill you? Unless he's met you..."

? "They could build a spaceship out of tupperware and moss."

? "He wants you to respect his life choices."

? "Oi! Don't swear!"

? "Welcome to my world."

? "Thank the Gods my people weren't relying on you to save them."

? "You see now, why I fear death?"

? "Susan!"

? "He's not following the plan."

and more

? An unseen (so far) adventure with Henry VIII is referenced.

? Religion rears its head.

? Someone is looking for the Doctor.

? The Doctor definitely crosses the line in this episode.

? They're not going to sing the song are they???

? A Madonna song is mentioned.

? The Doctor reveals a new fact about himself.

? A BBC Radio 4 show gets a namecheck.

? The Doctor shows off his language skills.

? Fans of Mork & Mindy will raise a smile.

    • Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.
    • The AI data centers need it more than us so...let them gobble it all up at that price!
    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
