Also, here's the fully written out version of the nursery rhyme in the last episode. I wonder if we can get anything out of it?
[quote]Tick tock goes the clock
And what now shall we play?
Tick tock goes the clock
Now summer’s gone away? (Missing from video)
Tick tock goes the clock
And what then shall we see?
Tick tock until the day
That thou shalt marry me
Tick tock goes the clock
And all the years they fly
Tick tock and all too soon
You and I must die
Tick tock goes the clock
We laughed at fate and mourned her
Tick tock goes the clock
Even for the Doctor
Tick tock goes the clock
He cradled her and he rocked her
Tick tock goes the clock
Even for the Doctor…[/quote]
This is probably a stupid question, but like after the Doctor saves everyone from the aliens or whatever, do the people he saved just forgot about it? Like every time aliens come to earth everyone's all like "oh no aliens, never seen that before". And also Amy didn't recognise the Dalek in the episode with Winston Churchill
I want another Dalek civil war so badly.

Weren't the army at the end of the first part of this season all people who's lives had been interfered with by the Doctor?
The Next episode reminds me of that Yu-Gi-Oh episode where they all get trapped in a video game

No they remember it usually, if you've only just started series 5 or whatever, Amy not remembering the Daleks gets explained.
I think the only time they don't actually remember anything is the Series 3 finale.
[QUOTE=Marlamin;32107388]John Barrowman (Captain Jack) has a [url=http://twitpic.com/6fwrk7]dalek[/url] at home. Do want![/QUOTE]
At my dad's work there's a guy who has a life-sized Dalek at home :v:
While I agree with you guys about how there's no actual danger involved in these episodes, on the other hand, Moffat has always struck me as more of a master of suspense and tension rather than outright danger. He writes scenarios that cause your imagination to go wild in fear rather than showing the actual danger on screen. I think the dramatic scenarios you guys have thought up are really good but the question is, how do you get out of them without pulling a RTD?
Moffat's episodes are more focussed on the Doctor and his companions rather than the Doctor and his sidekick. Back in series 1-4, the companion was sort of just there, they were only useful a few times (which sort of makes sense, seeing as it's called Doctor Who not the Doctor and his Companions). The thing is, one death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic. If the UK or even the Earth gets slaughtered, you think, "My god, someone needs to stop them!"
But when a character you have an emotional detachment to gets killed, ala Rory, you have so much more fury towards the killers. The kid gloves come off and you know that something is going to go down because the Doctor is going to destroy his enemy.
I don't think a little bit of balance between one and a million deaths would go amiss either.

I thought the idea brought up was that you didn't get out of it, it was a victory for the enemy. Dunno what would follow, an all out war maybe.
sorry to mix guys, but does anyone watch torchwood? i think its pretty good, and a bit darker than doctor who.

Don't worry, we get a lot of Torchwood talk in here.

Is it bad to get really annoyed when someone calls him "Doctor Who" ?

Why? He's been called it before..
[QUOTE=Alex_grist;32126801]Why? He's been called it before..[/QUOTE]
I think it's more meant to be used in the situation when he introduces himself to someone, or someone just tells someone else about him and they only name him "The Doctor", the other person replies "Doctor who now?"

Fun fact: It's a Doctor Who spin off.

I couldn't stop smiling as a small part of me believes that's actually The Doctor
My dad used to have a dalek in the window of his record shop
my grandma used to host dog shows and one time the bbc was sponsoring one or something and she has a picture of her dogs with a dalek :v:

Exactly, and people go all;
"There's this show called Doctor Who and the main character is Dr Who" etc.
and that's what annoys me.

Just realised how shocking flabby Torchwood Miracle Day is
[QUOTE=Dan2593;32113592]UK in the far future. Whole episode is the Doctor trying to save it when he ultimately realises it's a fixed point and has to escape. Not before saving a few people. And looking solemly back as a future London skyline burns under relentless Dalek fire. [I]In Part 1[/I]. In Part 2 The Doctor forms an uneasy alliance with somebody like the Sontarans and then plays them off against each-other so they wipe each-other out. He saves the earth but the UK is a mutated wasteland.
End with a sort of "This is just the beginning" speech from The Doctor. As he looks at his screen and sees hundreds of planets giving distress calls from Dalek attacks. Then he looks back at the earth and says something slightly uplifting like "Humanity now falls into a decade of fear of the universe. Yet a decade of complete peace. Even good can come from the Daleks". Or stuff to that affect.
I always like The Master timeline because EVERYTHING got fucked up.[/QUOTE]
Quite so. I think maybe later episodes in the "modern era" should have more "lasting effects", events that shake the very foundations of the Earth and leave lasting effects; like for example alien refugees ending up trapped on Earth akin to District 9, or the Cold War Going Hot and the Earth is a scorched radioactive desert world comparable to Tuchanka.
It'd be amazing, even if it was in a sort of "Infinite Elseworlds" storyline where the TARDIS ends up falling through a load of parallel worlds, with the Doctor having to perform powerful yet primitive "plane-shunts" to kick the TARDIS into other dimensions in an effort to travel back to his own universe, where some great cataclysm is about to occur. Hell, he could even pick up some Elseworld companions like a sort of Legion-esque android (for he is many) or a retired Judoon trooper, and on that note the Doctor should have more non-human companions; shake up the show with different moralities and suchlike that aren't left behind when the TARDIS departs, giving more of a lasting effect.

Eh, I can't see a story like that being very good. Sounds a bit too convoluted, as well as the fact that parallel universes have already been done. And you can't really have a story where a bunch of different, unrelated things go wrong, because it'd be too confusing and feel too rushed to have in one episode, and there wouldn't be room for a specifi halfway point to make it a two-parter. Well, in my opinion anyway.
And the reason we don't get many non-human protagonists - and basically no non-human companions - is because it's easier to relate to other humans, or at least "aliens" that pretty much look exactly like humans. Good alien characters are fun to see once in a while, but any more than that and they become either boring or annoying.
Besides, Humans are one of the Doctor's favourite species :v:

He probably already has.
