Series 6 To Shoot In The US!

To drag this back onto topic again, it looks like US shoot is going to be much the same as the Dubai shoot, just a few days exteriors then the rest done back in Cardiff. (Various UK based American/Canadian actors CVs have them already working on the episodes.) So top marks to Moffat for keeping RTD's Hype Machine in full flow.
 
Who cares? It's still Matt Smith as The Doctor in America! I'm thrilled! :techman:

Lol

Eh, I didn't expect much more anyway. Certainly not in Utah.

EDIT: Is it just a question of fighting desert locations in the UK? That seems to be the only reason they have to travel.
 
^ Well, there was no desert in sight when they went to Italy for the Pompeii episode, nor the city that stood in for Venice.

I guess I'll amend an ...or Italy to my thought ;)

Where did they go for the filming of Venice?
 
That's right. No second chances. He's that kind of a guy.

Unless you're the Master, or Davros...in which case have as many chances as you like!!!

:lol:

Alright, so maybe he wasn't really that kind of a guy. But it sounded good.
If you're into the new Who version of the Doctor where he talks like an arrogant action hero. Like the Daleks called him the oncoming storm. I mean, do Daleks talk like that? More like we have to be told how amazing he is all the time because writing plots where he's genuinely clever or brilliant is too much like actual competence.
 
Yeah, it does seem a little poetic for a species that, before and since, generally says, "IT. IS. THE DOCTOR. EXTERMINATE! EX-TERMINATE!"

Maybe one of Davros' less noteworthy Dalek experiments was Dalek-Poe:

Dalek-John: IT. IS. THE DOCTOR! ALERT! ALERT!

Other Daleks: ALERT! ALERT!

Dalek-Poe: THE DOCTOR -- THE. ONCOMING STORM. BEFORE WHICH. THE DAISIES BOW!

All Other Daleks turn to face Poe.

Poe: WHAT. DID. I. SAY?

John: YOU. ARE. SUCH. A. HER. BERT!

:guffaw:
 
Hadn't he made up enough of his own complete rubbish without borrowing other peoples'?
 
You know, when it was Eccleston being called 'The Oncoming Storm', I could buy it. He was dangerous. But, Tennant? The Oncoming Tantrum. Smith? The Oncoming Gentleman... ;)
 
The oncoming storm concept is actually something RTD borrowed from the books/comics.
Ben Aaronovitch coined the term "Ka Faraq Gatri" (Dalekese for "Bringer of Darkness" or "Destroyer of Worlds") for his novelization of "Remembrance of the Daleks." Paul Cornell then used it in Timewyrm: Revelation, and it crops up in work by Steven Moffat ("Continuity Errors") and Lance Parkin. "The Oncoming Storm," though original to RTD, would be in a similar vein.

And Davros did call the Doctor "The Destroyer of Worlds" so it's kind of fitting.
