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.

    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By excalpius · Posted

      Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.

      "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
