I did quite enjoy the episode; the ending in particular was better than the ones in some of the more recent episodes, which consist of either the power of love or big friendly reset buttons. Power of love could in theory be done right if not overused or backed up by something stronger, but I don't know how one could properly do a reset button without it being kind of a lousy ending.
[sp]Still, I woulda liked to see Jenny kung-fu more than just a few people; if she took on a few more people, then got forced back when all of them piled in at once, that'd work, since it'd make sense to all attack at once rather than drip-feed mooks like that old action-movie cliche.[/sp]
However, I still feel that we are lacking in two-parter episodes. Not everything needs to take a single episode to resolve, and I kinda miss those episodes that were two-parters rather than being resolved within 45 minutes. It leaves fewer opportunities for cliffhangers and the like. Still, props to Mark Gatiss for this episode.
That's a wrap.
Filming on the 50th complete.
[QUOTE=ElectronicG19;40535935]Going to stream the entirety of series 6. Anyone interesting in watching?[/QUOTE]
Sure!
I don't understand the villain mentality of "I have a gun, I had better hold it to my daughter's head to stop you from following me instead of shooting you right now"... Even though they follow her anyway just indirectly
We're now on Day of the Moon. The chat is really fun!

Maybe they do it in a vain attempt to try and dissuade pursuit, performed in the heat of the moment because their plans are starting to crumble around them, believing that their pursuers don't want the hostage to die.
That's my thought on the matter anyways.
So someone who is fucking up all your plans are right in-front of you and you have a gun, and you aren't afraid to shoot your own daughter ... So you take her hostage to dissuade their pursuit instead of just killing them?
We skipped Curse of the Black Spot
So best of series 6! The Doctors Wife!
Hmmm, you're right, doesn't hold up as well. Then again, people do stupid things in the heat of the moment. Also, we should remember that the villain of the story is [sp]a Victorian-era religious extremist who made a deal with an ancient parasite in order to harvest a powerful poison to send up in a rocket, which will explode in the upper atmosphere and bring about a toxic apocalypse from which a few humans will survive.[/sp] I mean, hell, she freaking ADMITS that the power is in the wrong hands (her hands), even out of sarcastic spite.
So yeah, Mrs Gillyflower might technically be smart with those machines in her factory, but concerning her crazed [sp]genocidal[/sp] intentions she is stupid to think that [sp]wiping out life on Earth[/sp] is, in any way, a good plan.
Also, one thing I will admit is that the whole thing with Sweetville being an isolated haven run by an extreme philosophy does give off vibes similar to Bioshock, although Sweetville isn't under the sea or in the sky, and Mrs Gillyflower isn't [sp]Clara from the future having undergone a baptism after the Battle of Wounded Knee.[/sp] (spoilered because it references events in BioShock Infinite)
Been watching the new season and I like it so far. Clara is so fucking hot does any one know the actor's name?

ok
I guess I am the only one here who didn't like this episode? I felt that a lot of the scenes were out of place and forced, and the acting by Mrs. Gillyflower was awful. I don't know I can't quite place exactly why I feel this way, it seems a lot of people really liked this episode, it just didn't sit with me right. The winces when [sp]Gillyflower fell from the stairway, and when the leech was killed[/sp], made this feel like some show other than Doctor Who. The first part was pretty good, without even having the Doctor or Clara reminded me of Blink, presenting a mystery that the supporting characters needed to solve, but quickly fell apart as they entered Sweetville.

I sorta thought that once the Doctor [sp]came out of that machine and started acting all energetic and kissed what's-her-face[/sp] broke the atmosphere of the episode in a way. From seeing what goes on slowly revealing everything in a dark, yet spooky manner and then once the Doctor started moving around it felt rather quick and to the point.
Although I liked the episode and found Straxx quite funny.

Poor Diana Rigg =(
Sydney Newman's notes are wonderful.
[QUOTE]Or to think about Christmas: which seasonable story shall we take our characters into? Bethlehem? Was it by means of Dr. Who's machine that Aladin's [sic] palace sailed through the air? Was Merlin Dr. Who? Was Cinderella's Godmother Dr. Who's wife chasing him through time? Jacob Marley was Dr. Who - slightly tipsy, but what other tricks did he get up to that Yuletide?[/QUOTE]

I've been enjoying all the posters they've made for the episodes for this series. I've just finished collecting some decent resolution copies for my hard drive, and my mind is in partial work to see if I can do something creative with them in some sort of collage.
We're about to start The God Complex! Come join us for the best few episodes of S6! We're nearly there, baby!

Doctor Who V.12 - "EVERYBODY STREAMS!!"
[img]http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls37kjEzDv1r1hdnho1_500.gif[/img]
This here story relates to Doctor Who and Me.
I have always been curious to this one memory, it had the Seventh Doctor in The Greatest Show in the Galaxy, airing when I was young in Day-Time. I asked Rotanixel/Lexinator if there was any original episodes airing between 1999 and 2005 (1999 being my birth year and 2005 being the reboot). He said yes and I told him my memory and the episode, he told me the year it was (2003-2004 if anyone is curious) and after that I finally realized who was the first doctor I ever seen and episode.
The first Doctor and episode I thought I ever saw was the Tenth Doctor in The Christmas Invasion, but today the True First Doctor and True Episode was The Seventh Doctor in The Greatest Galaxy in the Galaxy.
I might get banned for this, since it can be considered a Blog post but it isn't intended to be, only a story.
Mine was peter cushing I think, not sure if that counts though.

Ah yes, the Everybody Lives line. It was kinda neat originally, but looking back the episode was still kinda resolved by power of love. Then again it probably wasn't, since apparently the nanomachines were intelligent enough to properly patch the template they got from analysing the dead kid.
Buuut that's aside the point I was going to make; in this episode the Doctor's all "EVERYBODY LIVES!", whilst at the end of the Season, Rose gets possessed by the TARDIS and killed all the Daleks with an "EVERYTHING DIES". Quite the contrast if you ask me; end of Season 1 had everybody dies, whilst 3 episodes earlier the Doctor cures everybody with nanomachines.
Finally saw the first episode of the latest series. Third shittest one ever.

I think the first full 'episode' I watched was the TV movie in about 2000, so technically my first Doctor was Paul McGann. But I knew about the series from my uncle who has been a huge fan since the mid '70s. So I was super excited when I saw Sylvester McCoy in the movie and thought "yay! it's one of the old ones!"
and then he got shot :<
Watching The Wedding of River Song with G19 on his live stream, and only now I realize that Charles Dickens is played by Simon Callow who also played him in The Unquiet Dead (S1 Ep3).
Join stream now for best episode ever
Watched the second episode of the latest series. It was better than the first one.
G19, you're such a beast providing the stream, even though I missed half the episodes.
Been messing with paulstretch plugin for audacity:
