Get rid of Moffat already he is completely ruining Dr Who.

I feel the same, the show has definitely lost its shine for me. I keep watching, hoping, that it will come good again but I just can't see it happening. At the start I disliked Smith as the Doctor but I feel he's grown into the role. The stories however have a lot to be desired IMO, it doesn't feel like Doctor Who at all to me, just a show with Doctor Who in it if that makes sense,

But for the episode, I quite enjoyed it until the end with what happened to the Ponds, will be interesting to see where they take it now with the new companion

I want the 11th doctor to degenerate back to the 10th doctor, and make Donna his companion again. :(

Made me sad :( will miss them. I hope that they come back for one more adventure in future (though unlikely, it has happened in the past).

Karen hinted she wants to be part of the 50th anniversary so I hope she does but he said "he could never see them again" but anything can happen! :p

Well, if you think about it-- They kind of left it open... after all tell the little girl who waited on the raggedy man the story... That does leave the possibility of avoiding the whole thing. But then again - he said they are becoming a fixed point in time.. makes one wonder...

Is just traveling with the doctor a fixed point and the rest can be changed???

Like I said -- previously-- about the lady in red... he could always grab her before she was changed and then make sure she is put back before that point in time just a lifetime later..

That is what I assumed they were going to do. Just pick her up before she went on the trip. However, if that was the case she would have recognized him unless he did another mind wipe.

No --actually the daleks would have done a good job of that where she only concentrated on her being human..... plus the doctor did say that he was going to save her-- or she may have been on a planet the doctor had yet to visit in her timeline.

Though even Doctors were on previous episodes as other people too....So she may be playing a different character.

But then again it is quite possible she didn't recognize him because that had yet to happen.

You and I both...

Same here guys...

Concering Oswin case: i think that Moffat will have to devise a plot twist to bring her back alive. If Doctor didnt transport her before explosion of Asylum, then in preview of Christmass special we have same thing as with River. He met her younger version and not despite of her clothing :p.

Since when does the Tardis need painting and a bulb replacement? The Tardis is neither wood or a real Police Box with a Lamp.

but it feels like wood to the touch, and to the daleks, it is the same as wood to their weapons... the writers just took it a step further and some poetic license.

:shifty:

Creativity this show has gone up a few notches, I really love this season so far. It is a mega shame that Amy had to go, I just hope the new companion will continue to do justice to the Doctor :)

I just can't believe that Rory is dead.... again.

They had set up in a previous episode that they were considering not traveling with the doctor again. It just seemed unnecessary to kill them off.

Three times in one episode and finally, he is permanently dead. Moff finally decided.

:(

Actually that would be a regression, not a degeneration. It ain't going to happen at all either! The only likelyhood

of The 10th Doctor ever coming back would be an appearance in whatever's lined up for the 50th Anniversary.

The only way The Doctor degenerates is when all his cells are dying, and the actual regeneration is triggered.

regression

[ri-gresh-uhn] noun

The act of going back to a previous place or state; return or reversion to

an earlier or less advanced state or form or to a common or general type.

degeneration

[dih-jen-uh-rey-shuhn] noun

1. the process of degenerating.

2. the condition or state of being degenerate.

3. Pathology: a process by which tissue deteriorates, loses functional activity.

I tried to get back into Dr. Who, as I stopped when Tom Baker left.

Then it was going all right till 'Catherine Tate' appeared. I just could not take it seriously any more. I was expecting her to start a deluge of urine extraction and blunt gags.

      If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.

      Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.

      Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
