6x04 The Doctor's Wife(Grading/Discussion) (SPOILERS!!)
- Thread starter Samurai8472
- Start date
so is Neil the next fans favouirte for Doctor Who showrunner because over at G.Base they are in love with the episode.
For the old series, yes, but RTD's Sontarans needed the original... "Martha Jones is keeping you alive!"
I'd forgotten that - haven't seen it since the DVDs came out!
Damn you sir! It has a UNIT colonel laying a verbal smackdown on the Doctor and then a literal one on some filthy alien scum. It should be on constant loop.
The fact that it has Freema Agyeman bathed in alien goop is just icing on the cake.
What was his involvement in the production of Neverwhere? Just the writing?
lets just have a christmas episode written by RTD/Moffat and Neil...the universe should explode soon after
Christ on a cross, is this what passes for Doctor Who now? Some fanwank, some nonsense...completely unengaging. At least I could be bothered to hate the RTD stuff. The Tardis becoming a woman is the kind of idea a 14 year old would write in their fanfic read by about 3 people. I thought Gaiman was an author, or something.
On the upside, Matt Smith was marginally less jarring than his dreadful Jar Jar performances from ACC onwards (really, it's like he's an 8 year old with learning difficulties who's dressed up from his grandad's wardrobe), and I think Rory's death-o-meter just ticked over 5000.

He and Lenny Henry put together the proposal and sold BBC2 on the series, and Gaiman wrote the scripts. The reason the novel exists is that Gaiman was so disenchanted with the realities of television production and what had happened with his vision that he felt that he had to get the story told his way before the BBC ruined it, hence the novel.
^ oh, great. you're back...
it was fan-TAS-tic, brilliant and COOL!
i loved it. apart from not hearing all the dialogue in some of it, YET again...

I liked the first episode a lot, even though the Doctor going full on Binks has me missing Tennant. All the others have been shite.
Looking at some of the almost religious ecstasy reactions to it, I have to say, though - it was great, but it wasn't the all-conquering, all-new reappraisal of the show's nature which popular hype had it. It will be overrated in the immediate future, but probably suffer a bit after a while when people realize that although it was, well, 9/10 it wasn't the 10/10 they gave it, if you see what I mean.
Great atmosphere, concepts and characters, but... well, the actual plot is a little thin. Not *bad* - far from it - just very simple and designed to leave room for that coherent atmosphere and character exploration. Which is what makes it great, but I suspect that die-hard plot-centric fans will develop a backlash to it...
But still - 9/10 and the best episode since Vincent...

Douze points. Magic. 
Pity he makes so much money from his day-job or I'd be nominating him for Showrunner.
