I don't really care about explanations in Doctor Who - the "science" has always been rubbish. Just say a nanogene did it and be done.

to be fair that was a good episode.Doctor Who isnt Voyager, expect for that one episode that was all about nanogenes.I don't really care about explanations in Doctor Who - the "science" has always been rubbish. Just say a nanogene did it and be done.

"Nanogenes" is the most elegant version of the term for these tiny gadgets that I've heard - others being "nanites," "nanomachines" etc.
Yeah, that's a bullshit explanation. Why would the nanogenes recognize the basic "Human" template rather than the specific "Injured Little Boy" template then instead of any of the other five million Humans they'd encountered?
Let's face it -- it was just a "power of love triumphs" moment, just like in "Victory of the Daleks." The one in "The Doctor Dances" was just more emotionally effective.
Not going to read the whole thread, so apologies if I repeat anything.
I had fun watching that episode. In the third season I was starting to get tired and annoyed at the Daleks, but from Journey's End to now, I think they've become cool again. The reactions to the doctor were great and funny.
I voted excellent, but there were some things that I wonder. For one, the whole bomb thing seemed to lack urgency needed to make that scene more dramatic. I know it was a race against the clock and stuff, but the whole thinking about love and stuff like that was a bit off. Also, I did read about the crack and the possible connection with Amy not knowing about Journey's End. It's interesting, and another question to be answered as the season goes on, but hopefully they do it in a cool, nonpredictable way. I agree we don't need to see the crack every episode. Also, last week I actually liked when they connected the two episodes with the Churchill call. Pity they couldn't do it this week with maybe something from River.
As for River, interesting promo for the next episode. Blink meets Silence in the Library. I love it.
Overall, great fun episode, nice to see new Daleks, and I really liked the music (Which does seem toned down a bit which is a plus).
One other thing, Amy looked a lot better this week dressed rather than in the Night Gown. Hopefully we don't see the Night Gown again.

That's where I've seen the actor who played Churchill before. He looked very familiar and I knew I had seen him before. He was Fulton Greenwall in Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. That's awesome.
According to IMDB, Ian McNeice will also play Illyrio Mopatis in Game of Thrones.
The "bomb" didn't turn itself off because it can love, it deactivated because it had something to "live" for.
Yeah, I saw that - it's probably quoted in a post somewhere in this forum.
Fans who've complained about a number of differences in attack between nuWho and oldWho are just going to have to detach from the fact that Moffat has no intention of undoing the basic rethinking of the show that Davies did at the start. The direction is changing slightly, if at all, in refinement of the 2005 resurrection.
I don't miss him so far. Moffat usually plots stories somewhat better and his episodes have been among my favorites of nuWho.
Some already are, claiming that the show has lost it's heart and soul, and that RTD could write characters so beautifully well, while this season so far has failed to do so.
Which is pretty much tosh as far as I'm concerned. I went back to watch "Midnight" recently, seeing as I'd missed it first time around and there were quite a few people raving about it. It's quite a decent ep, and certainly is pretty tense, but the characters are more characatures than people.
This much is true.
I don't know that this is, however. Out of three episodes so far, one - "The Beast Below" - is at least what we in the Colonies would call a triple if not a home run, IMAO.
Finally saw this one a second time, and I have to admit I DID enjoy it quite a bit more.
The plot is still pretty ridiculous and nonsensical of course, but somehow... I didn't really mind as much. Once you accept it as just a crazy adventure, it actually kinda works.

Isn't this kind of the epitath for DW in general?
Heh, I can see how some would feel that way. But for me it's more the exception than the rule at the moment when it comes to nuWho.
