Was anyone else really annoyed by the fact that

The doctor now seems to be in favour of genocide, getting everyone to kill the silent, despite everything he has previously done

He'll take any solution besides that if he can, but I didn't see any other possible solution. They were not going to leave with just a request, so he had to give them an incentive to leave. They won't all die; they'll escape somehow, but they certainly won't come back to Earth.

The Curse Of The Black Spot' airs on BBC One at 6pm on Saturday 7th May. In the meantime, here are some teasing lines of dialogue from the episode...

? "There are worse ways to go than having your face knocked off by a dodgy mermaid."

? "I've seen your father gun down a thousand innocent men."

? "It's a big club, we should get t-shirts."

? "There's a stroppy homicidal mermaid trying to kill all."

? "Space can very lonely."

? "Ignore all my previous theories!"

? "Cuddle me shipmate."

? "A green singing shark in an evening gown."

? "I suppose laughing like that is in the job description."

? "Humans, second rate, damage too easy. Only a matter of time before you all get bruised."

Here's a theory:

Okay, so the silents have ordered their destruction. Seen as now in this universe, this means that the Silents won't be able to interrupt the flow of Earth's future. Now, let's recap how we got to the Silent's destruction. The doctor from 200 years later comes back and invites his current self, amy, rory and river to 1969. Up until this point, no one was going to go to 1969 and do anything - clearly the Tardis crew remember the silents and so if this had happened previously, this would have been common knowledge. SO, 1100 Yr old Doctor gets everyone (inc. 900 Yr doctor) to go to 1969 to trigger off the events of what happened during the past 2 episodes, which would be to offset the course of the future. Now that's happened, a couple of things have now happened - 1) the fact that the doctor has been shot and killed is irrelevant, in 200 years he'll never need to go back in time and die ergo he lives on past 1100. 2) The future of the doctor will now change and will be different to what happened in River Song's book, so the part where the doctor and river should have become "more then friends" so to speak will never happen (not at that point, anyway), hence why it was confusing for River when she wasn't aware it was the first time she'd kissed him. Essentially, River's book of the Doctor's future is completely useless.

Regarding the Rani

It has been confirmed that it will be impossible for the Rani to return in the revived series as the character's creators have not agreed to transfer their copyright of the character to any of the new producers, though it may happen one day where the copyright will be taken.

I didnt think the Doctor could cross his own time line without causing a paradox and the end of the universe?

I still stick by my theory that

Amy is River's mum.

I dont think so unless they writers want to dabble in a bit of incest considering the Doctor is the father of the child and the child grown up to River is now kissing the doctor and fancies him.

Where are people getting that River is The Doctors daughter?

It's quite obvious surely that River is going to end up with The Doctor at some point, or possibly has done in some alternative time line, but considering what we have been given I don't know where people are getting that Amy's future child is The Doctors as well who then ends up as River and then gets it on with her own father.

Doctor Who?s 50th anniversary is still a couple of years away, but rumours of a multi-Doctor story have been doing the rounds for a while now.

David Tennant has previously hinted at the 10th Doctor returning, but Christopher Eccelston seems pretty adamant that the 9th won?t be back. Asked if he would return for the anniversary in an interview with Graham Norton on Radio 2, Eccleston replied, ?No, never bathe in the same river twice.?

?My intention was to make the show a success so that the next few series could follow, but I?d done what I wanted to do.?

Eccleston also added that he thought The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances (written by Steven Moffat) were the best episodes of his series.

Feck him. I hate self important asshats like him people that get too big for the show then leave thinking they are going to get amazing roles and end up doing bit parts in various TV shows.

Peter Davidson, David Tennant and Matt Smith would be good. I LOVED the Time Crash Children in Need special.

One idea I had was that the small girl who regenerated may have stolen the Doctor's regeneration powers before she killed him.

So she travelled forward in time in the suit, killed The Doctor while stealing his powers, went back in time, seemingly escaped the suit and then regenerated?

Christopher Eccleston was one of the worst Doctors ever. What terrible casting! Completely unsuited to the role.

I'm so glad they got rid of that weirdo.

    • 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.
    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Case_f · Posted

      My problem with these smart scopes is that IMO they're not really an entrance into astronomy, they're an entrance to looking at pretty(ish) pictures that you take by essentially pressing a button and letting the scope do the work. I still maintain that getting some binoculars or a solid dedicated telescope (which doesn't have to mean expensive) and actually spending time learning the night sky and using a telescope is a much better way to actually learn. But, granted, the learning curve is a bit steeper (as it tends to be).

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By Legend20 · Posted

      The perception of Microsoft Edge is unfortunate as it's a world class browser. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best browser I've ever used with its feature set, speed, reliability and advanced security. Running the extension Ublock Origin is a must though to deal with advertising and trackers.
