Lots of people think it was Romana.

Eh I dunno. Seems kind of out there and totally random that RTD would bring in a companion from so long ago without any name drop or mention really. Not to mention, the woman was on the Time Lord voting block of doom, Romana wasn't since she traveled with the Doctor and all. But then again, who knows?

OH well, we may never know. Unless Moffat is planning something involving the Time Lords in the future. Rumor has it he worked with RTD on the End Of Time.

He probably did so he could get a good welcome to Matt Smith

I wouldn't be surprised if we see the Time Lords explored much more in the next series. The story and mythology is too rich and overwhelmingly cool for someone like Moffat with his track record to pass up on.

However do not forget - this is still Doctor Who; pretty much the ultimate cheesy sci fi show which prides itself on having silly moments and being funny at times while above all ENTERTAINING. The BBC know the formula that has worked, and they know damn well a dark/moody/adult/psychological Doctor which seems to be what the fans are screaming for. A generation of kids have grown up in the last 5 years with the style of Doctor Who we've had with Tennant and that aint going to change dramatically.

Saying that, a darker/psychological Doctor would be frakking awesome.

They could go that route, but then they also have Torchwood coming back which is the "adult" version of Doctor Who. At least, that's what the BBC considers it right? And SJA is considered the "kid" version of Doctor Who I guess.

They can't go to dark with the Doctor, but they can certainly hint at darker tones and what not. A perfect example from the new series would be the Christmas Invasion, where the 10th Doctor kills that alien at the end. I'd much rather Moffat explore the end of the Time War and show exactly what the Doctor had to do to stop the Time Lords/Daleks and why he's so guilt ridden over it, other than the general "I had to stop them" stuff. Plus, it'd be nice to get Timothy Dalton back again :D

Alternatively, it would be really cool to see the Doctor make an appearance in Torchwood. I would really like to know how he would have dealt with the 456 or at least a confrontation with Captain Jack's handling of the affair immediately after. Then he could really touch on much darker themes!

I would like that but I liked the fact in Torchwood they looked to the Doctor but he never came

Yes, it would be awesome. It wouldn't even have to be an entire season. Just let the Doctor get a unknown disease and it turns him all dark and moody for a few shows. Then they can find a cure.

I posted earlier, but the BBC website in their article on the Doctor Who Finale mentioned that the Doctor looked at his Mother, who would be the one who was covering her face and then lowered her hands.

Yeah I suspected it might be the mother. Hopefully that will be answered.

Rumor has it the Cybermen will return at the end of season five ? probably the real Cybermen, not the alternate-universe Cybus Industries versions. Also, this particular rumor-monger says the Sea Devils are coming back (not their cousins, the Silurians, as others have suggested. Or maybe it's both?) Also, there are a group of scary monks, but they're probably not related to Russell T. Davies' werewolf monks from season two. As always, grain of salt, etc. [Eye Of Polyphemus]

    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By sikhwarrior · Posted

      I think this will appeal to a lot of enthusiasts. If the thermals are similar to those of a single system in a compact case, many people running multiple systems may choose to combine them into one machine, provided the case footprint remains reasonable.

    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By BlueScreenJunky · Posted

      No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.

    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
