I think the people who put videos on youtube like "OMG1 David Tennant IZ Teh SEX" probably fainted when than saw that.

So, does anyone think the Doc2 character was written for Chris Eccleston? I mean, RTD practically beats you over the head with it at the end when he spells it out for Rose. Also, watching his performance throughout the episode, Tennant really seems to be slightly mimicking Doc 9. Maybe that's the point? But, do you think he wrote this with the idea in the back of his head that he could try and get Chris back in for one finale? Watch Doc2's scenes and just replace him with Eccleston. Not to mention, the way he dresses. I don't know, am I reading too much into it? Or am I just reading something terribly obvious that no one has bothered to mention?
I didn't notice that till I rewatched the episode and I think you're quite right. The darker Doctor that was born from bloodshed is considered among fans to be the 9th Doctor when he destroyed both sides in the time war. By the end of series 1 that Doctor became 10th who was still a little Dark but not the way he described himself in the season 4 finale. He had gone past that and it was the 9th that Rose met first. Interesting stuff.

It's possible RTD considered this then changed his mind. I read that an idea for showing Davros before his accident was scripted too along with the Doctor giving his clone a piece of Tardis coral to grow his own TArdis.
 
Ah, that's what I was trying to get to! If a race can manipuilate black holes, then flying a shielded planet across the galaxy is peanuts.

Towing the Earth over a vast distance at faster than light speeds? My brain simply won't accept it. That scene will make me cringe until the day I die.



Errrm, so towing the earth is stupid and makes you cringe...?


Your watching a regenerating 900-odd year old alien travelling through time and space in a blue box thats bigger on the inside and a different dimension than the outside, who battles aliens, monsters and wierd stuff and can change his entire body upon dieing. :techman:

There are salt and pepper shakers from hell and Dame Thora Herd as their creator, hes responsible of Pompei disaster, hes changed history in alomost every episode, battled dodgy rubber Dinos, dodgier looking spiders and even other time and space travelling aliens and even steered a replica of the Titanic from ramming Buckingham Palace to shit on Christmas Day.



Ill leave it with ya. :techman:

Your watching a <THE SAME FUCKING ARGUMENT AGAIN>.

Change the record guys. Seriously.
 
As I said in my post I took it that the Human Doctor was another incarnation of the Ninth simply in the form of the Tenth because of the regeneration mishap or whatever it was called in the episode (I can't remember the exact term). I wouldn't be surprised if that role was created for Chris Ecceltson and I did notice that the Human Doctor acted with a sort of glee at times but I just took that because he had a little of Donna in him.
 
Look, it's simple, change your opinion, and they'll stop...

Well, I'm usually a pretty open minded, willing to be convinced kind of guy. But their constant whinging has only strengthened my resolve.

You know what? Towing the Earth was stupid, and so was Christopher Eccleston's face.

I dunno, doesn't bother me in Doctor Who... it probably would if it were in Stargate or something though. So I can understand it.
 
The only thing about towing the Earth that bothered me was that I think Earth should have been shaking even more than it was. Although its possible that there was somekind of stablizer produced by the tractor beam device that the Tardis was using to keep it from shaking totally apart. I can understand how some people could be bothered but the physics but this is science fiction and its designed to suspend belife!
 
the earth should have been shaking more?

All life should have been wiped clean from the planets face and a couple miles of crust towards the core for every second the TARDIS dragged the planet across the galaxy.

Inertial dampeners

The Earth should have been shaking less or not at all.

And why didn't the moon run away? They go to the trouble of mentioning a moonbase (well pending.), but they don't allow for any parallels with Space 1999... of course they could have been talking about the Moon Base from the tenth Planet.
 
That was my thought.

The Tardis being as large and advanced as it is, should have very advance tractor beam technology. Such as intertial dampeners. But then , saying that, that tardis an half rocks around the block sometimes, so whats up with that.

Therefore, as has been said, the earthlings shouldnt even notice the earth moving at all, unless they look up.
 
Yeah I was thinking of inertial dampners...thanks guys. I wondered where the moon was, all we saw was the planets. Perhaps their moons (if they had any) weren't important to producing the energy needed for the reality bomb.
 
Luna was waiting for Terra like a lost kid in a shopping mall totally unchanged from it's last position... maybe the doctor put the earth back into the same time locus it was taken from too? because if the earth really was taken out, then every other planet in the solar system would have adjusted it's orbits to find a new equilibrium.
