Grizz you're creepin

Woah, woah, woah, to what degree has the context been taken out of that post!? :P Been there, done that, met her, got the autograph and the guide book to prove it. Anyway, it's officially "Doctor Who News" day! A new DWM cover ahoy: [img]http://doctorwhotv.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/dwm-451.jpg[/img] A new mini-series ahoy: [QUOTE]Featuring the Doctor, Amy and Rory, this five-part mini-adventure premieres on [the official] site at noon on Monday with parts 2-5 stripped daily across the week. Written by Chris Chibnall and directed by Saul Metzstein, the omnibus version of Pond Life will be shown on the BBC’s Red Button on Saturday, 1st September. Chris Chibnall commented, ‘Pond Life provides us with a lovely opportunity to catch-up with Amy and Rory since we saw them at the end of the last series. It opens with the Ponds at home and gives us an insight in to just what happens when the Doctor drops in and out of their lives. Travelling with the Doctor is one of the greatest things you can do, but it’s fun to spend a few moments looking at the chaos he can also bring.’ Caroline Skinner, Executive Producer, said ‘Chris has written a beautiful, heartfelt and wickedly funny piece about the adventures the Ponds have been having with the Doctor since we last saw them on-screen. It’s not long till the series itself will be back with a vengeance -- but in the meantime, Pond Life is a truly heart-warming piece about our best-loved companions and their madcap relationship with their raggedy Doctor.’[/QUOTE] A new trailer ahoy: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNHEEZ_I74U[/media] An absolute confirmed air date ahoy: [QUOTE]UPDATE: BBC America have confirmed they will air Saturday, September 1, 9:00pm ET. It’s been a long and frustrating wait but now, finally, the UK airdate for Doctor Who Series 7 has been confirmed. The opener, Asylum of the Daleks, will kick off Saturday 1 September at 7.20pm on BBC1. It is scheduled in a 50 minute slot.[/QUOTE] Now relax guys, before you have me arrested for something crude and smutty.

not creepy at all, new companion is fit as fuck new trailer looks awesome can't wait hi everyone

Why do Americans get better promotional material than us? It's like they're making Doctor Who an American show or something.

[QUOTE=ElectronicG19;37359958]Why do Americans get better promotional material than us?

We British do what we do best with our advertising - subtly. I do still prefer our non VO'd ads.

I can't wait. Well, I can, I guess. But not for very long.

[IMG]http://images.doctorwhonews.net/image.php?pid=6764[/IMG] [IMG]http://images.doctorwhonews.net/image.php?pid=6765[/IMG] These were promotional materials made for BBC worldwide. Probably going to be used on action figures and merchandise. [editline]22nd August 2012[/editline] I don't like The Doctors one too much. [editline]22nd August 2012[/editline] Watching that trailer back gives me the impression the Amy in the Weeping Angels episode is younger than the Amy in the first few episodes. Maybe Amy and Rory leave the Doctor and he goes back to pick up an earlier version of them as he refuses to let them go and inadvertently causes their deaths and changes history.

So I'm watching all of Torchwood right now, loving it, but at times I can't figure out if it is bad writing, or that no one working on the show can keep a consistent idea of whether everyone knows who they are or that they are super secret and nobody knows. Also, Jack it might be time to tell everyone who the Doctor is, he is kinda the single most important entity to your organization.

Wait a second, is that the old logo? Holy shit it is!

[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;37370358]Don't watch Miracle Day it's a load of bile[/QUOTE] I think Children of Earth is one of the best stories to ever be told in The Doctor Who universe. Yet Miracle Day could've been better, it just was far too drawn out. Honestly went on forever rand half of it (especially the very needless sex scenes) could have been easily cut out. But I did't mind the revelation that [sp]Jacks blood is what makes him immortal. As far as I'm concerned if Jack has been made immortal by Rose we have no idea how it works biologically. He can get totally incinerated and still grow back so I have very little arguments with the idea his blood is still immortal when removed from his body. Excited to see what happens with the immortal black guy too[/sp]

[sp]Having immortal blood in your veins probably could make you immortal.[/sp]

I always figured he was immortal [sp]Because he's outside of the time stream, Bad Wolf made his death null and void, turning him into a universal constant, can't be destroyed as he constantly returns to his original state.[/sp]

By that logic [sp]Jacks blood is also outside of the time stream so can't be destroyed either[/sp]

imo children of earth was torchwood at it's best; it did really well portraying the horrors and violence of the doctor who universe in a way that doctor who never could due to it's family nature.

No, no no. He is immortal, every part of his body is immortal and that's why his blood is immortal. It's not what what makes him immortal.

The action figure I've always wanted.

Woo! September 1st! I'll have 4 days to play guild wars 2, then go out and get some popcorn. My life is sad.

So me and my dad was reading doctor who's tardis Wikia, and we found something about the cybermen. As some people might know there are two types, the Mondas Cybermen from the original series. [IMG]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060319084634/tardis/images/7/7e/Tenth_Planet_2_001.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101009121636/tardis/images/1/1f/Attack_3.jpg[/IMG] And Pete's World Cybermen from the reboot series. [IMG]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100812191118/tardis/images/1/14/41631814_cybermen3_416bbc.jpg[/IMG] Anyway, when the reboot happened the Mondas Cybermen stopped showing up. Their last episode before the reboot was Series 25: Silver Nemesis. When the pandorica opens episode aired, you guys might remember the cybermen with the head inside it. Now my dad watched the older series and remembers that the Mondas Cybermen didn't cut humans for the cybermen, the humans was inside the Cybermen. [IMG]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120409212534/tardis/images/1/1c/Cyber-conversion_A.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120214135954/tardis/images/7/72/Conversion_Fail.jpg[/IMG] And when he said that, I realized that the skeleton in Pandorica Opens was in the Cybermen. [IMG]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100702121441/tardis/images/6/63/Cyberface2.jpg[/IMG] So when we got back to his place I went to Tardis Wikia and went to [URL]http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Cybermen_(Mondas)_-_List_of_Appearances[/URL] and [URL]http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Cybermen_(Pete's_World)_-_List_of_Appearances[/URL] (Note: This was yesterday). As I was looking at Pete's World Cybermen, I saw their last Appearance was Series 5 "The Big Bang" which then made me remember Series 7's episode with Craig and the cybermen, if they weren't Pete's, then they must of been the mondas, and I went to the List of Appearances for Mondas and saw their new latest Appearance saying Series 7 "Closing Time". Since they basically now have the same style of Cybermen, I went to look at pictures. [img_thumb]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110722094236/tardis/images/5/58/Cybermen-series-6.jpg[/img_thumb]Look on their chest, see the round circle where the Cybus logo should be? If you go back to the top image with Pete's world Cybermen, they have the Cybus Logo. Apparently those without the circles are the Mondas. Don't believe me? Says it right there on the mondas page. [QUOTE=Mondas Page (Tardis Wikia)]"By the 52nd century, the Cybermen, organised into Cyber Legions, were a major power in space. They had at least twelve fleets. They resembled the Cybus Cybermen physically, [B]but their chest logo featured a simple circle instead of the Cybus logo.[/B] The Twelfth Cyber Legion was devastated to blackmail them into giving intelligence to the Eleventh Doctor in the build-up to the Battle of Demon's Run. (DW: A Good Man Goes to War)"[/QUOTE] If you still don't believe me, it says on the Cyber-Conversion page [URL]http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Cyber-conversion[/URL] [QUOTE=Conversion page (Tardis Wikia)]"The Cybermen of Pete's World, instead of replacing body parts, [B]transplanted living brains into metal exoskeletons[/B] sustained in a cradle of chemicals and threaded together by an artificial nervous system"[/QUOTE]

Sorry man you're kinda late. The writers said before the episode even aired that they were The Mondas Cybermen. Infact the Cybermen in the free Adventure game are Mondas too as they lack the C logo too and make use of the cybermat. The reason the Cyberman in Pandorica has a whole head is because when the Daleks arrived The Cybermen needed to speed up the conversion progress so started to convert whole humans to help fight them. The problem with this is a lot of Cybermen didn't get finished and you get halfhuman Cybermen as seen in Torchwood.

apparently they're also remaking the cybermen in series 7, should be interesting.

Wow, I never noticed they were Mondas Cybermen, normally I pick up on this sort of stuff, that awesome! Could of been better if they looked more different to Cybertron Cybermen then just a changed chest plate. Would be awesome if they both meet up and do what Cybermen do. (get defeated by the doctor) My mind is still blowing.

I think the ending with the Doctor accepting his "death" would've been better if he'd caused harm to people he cared about, like how he left the Ponds in the previous episode for that same reason.

Yeah; it would've made the episode so much darker. Sure we woulda lost an enjoyable character, and Craig's family would've been in pieces, but Doctor Who probably needs more of that; more real consequences about the Doctor's actions and the shadow of death that follows him, more lasting impacts that aren't so easily resolved, that kinda stuff.
