I liked this last episode personally. I think all the Clara, and Mr. Pink stuff is supposed to be getting old. That way we don't miss them when they leave the show.

 

I still miss Karen Gillan....

 

I think this is the case, it's time for people to get ready for Clara to exit and I'm fine with it, heck I hope it'd happen sooner rather than later.  I also like this new side to the doctor.  No hand holding, tell it like it is.  Like the ep said, time to take the training thrusters off, or w/e it was.

So I watched the Moon episode yesterday, giant space creatures that humanity wants to harm/kill is a storyline that gets really old for me (God damn I hated the space whale episode)

Not to mention everybody on Earth would have died at the end, ehh.

The orient express episode was better, the costumes were quite good. Loved the engineer character, even if he did think the TARDIS console was the engine.

Its kinda weird seeing the doctor change someone for the darker rather than trying to make them better for once though. Rather good episode though. it was done well. dont forget to checkout the Doctor Who Extra episode for it on youtube.

I really like his line to Clara, when she says she was a good Doctor in his place or something, and he basically said "You were a good Doctor, Clara. But it wasn't because of goodness" Yeah, darker for sure on that one (to me anyway, he was obviously referencing all the crap he's done over his lifetime etc I assume)

if the concept of the episode was cool for you check out the book Flatland, it is public domain so you can probably get it on Amazon Kindle or Barnes and Noble Nook as well as Google Books for free.

Well, she felt good at the end but it's not like everyone was saved, and the doctor did have to kill (he said not all of them, if any, will make it back to their 2D dimension), so he's spot on, no goodness in this, lives were lost.

Exactly, it's the way he lives. He sometimes has to sacrifice some (or many) to save many (or all) in many cases. So, goodness wasn't it, it was necessity or...something darkerrrrrr. Because you know, he's dark and broody now. :D

 

Also, those 2D invaders were an awesome idea. I hope they revisit at some point. I came up with a Star Trek script like, 20 years ago basically like this episode lol

The story lines have been very weak mostly. If this carries on I will find myself stop watching or should I say not care if I miss one.

I'm with you, I used to be impatient for the next episode, but now I find myself less and less interested

I'm the opposite.  The last two doctors (I only watched a few episodes each season for various reasons) were too gooby/kiddy for me.

 

I like the darkness creeping in.  I grew up watching Tom Baker and Peter Davison, it was dorky from a production perspective mostly but the storylines were more serious back then.  This season seems like a return to the seriousness. It's possible I missed all the "serious" episodes from the last two doctors.

 

The reason I decided to give it a proper chance this season is because I saw some potential in some of the Matt Smith episodes, I hated what I saw during Tennant's tenure because it reminded me of why I hated Torchwood so much, so much facepalming was done.  I didn't watch Ecclestone because I didn't like his hooligan FACE.  So now the time is right.

Love the last episode!

 

Is it me or did the locked down tardis look a bit like The Pandorica...?

 

I noticed that too!

 

I enjoyed that episode, last couple of episodes have actually been good with a half decent storyline.

What annoys me is the amount of the people who gets a ride in the TARDIS

 

Completely agree. At one point, only the selected companion would, now it seems its like there is a 'Welcome All' sign on his door.

    • Windows 11 in 2026: Are you fully on board, or still holding back?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.

Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation.

Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker. Project files are stored in XML format. An archiving feature allows exporting a project among all assets into a single folder or compressed archive.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

      People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
