[Official] Doctor Who Thread

So. Which of you cried too? Started with the poem for me and then got progressively worse right 'till the end. That surprise appearance pretty much turned me into a complete emotional wreck / pile of tears :p

 

(I am so glad we get BBC HD here in Belgium!)

I really teared up when that person appeared and Matt was giving his last speech!

Erm what? Will there be a part two to finish up this story line. I know most doctor who episodes end with plot holes but this was worse than most. Overall the ending got a poor reception in my house.

 

What plot holes, from what I understood it resolved everything from Matt Smiths time as the Doctor.

Well, I thought it was absolute rubbish. Who has gotten progressively more cheap looking and more nonsensical under Moffat's tutelage.

 

Tonight's episode was a good example of this, lots of flowery language that ultimately makes no sense, plots that went absolutely nowhere and the damn daleks again, is it possible for Moffat to write an episode now where the daleks don't make an appearance?

 

I can't wait for Moffat to leave and someone else with more imagination to take over because Moffat is just churning over the same stories now.

I thought those buildings looked familiar :p

 

It was a nice episode, but in general I've liked the last few years of Who a bit less than 9 and 10's. Those storylines were both more complex and simpler at the same times. Less easy fixes and better reasons/explanations for things. But it hasn't been bad, I still love it.

i do not want to sound to critical however, i honestly thought the episode was rather boring. and Moffet kept promising to close story loops and not really much of anything happened in the episode.

The actual regeneration looked really good.  I hope they take the show in a new direction with Peter Capaldi because they do tend to rehash the same storylines over and over again.  I also hope his Doctor is a bit more serious and a little less frenetic than all the other portayals have been since the reboot.  Something more like Jon Pertwee's Doctor would be great.  A character with a bit more depth.

What plot holes, from what I understood it resolved everything from Matt Smiths time as the Doctor.

 

Do the time lords have the ability to open and close the cracks at will? Have they given up trying to re-enter this universe? What about the remaining Daleks around Christmas? Only one ship blew up on screen? What about the desolated planet the Doctor met the great intelligence at in the future?

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
    • "...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...". Three names that all refer to Windows Update. Does the author even understand what he is writing about?
    • and somehow windows is the only one with issue every patch tuesday is a mess, android macosx have all that and it never had issues locking people out of their own data.
    • It's the ol': I told my kids I was older than Google and they thought I was joking. For me I was born the same year as the internet
