Was very good! I wouldn't be supprised though if Tennant left though as this is the end of the RTD era and all the characters are gonna move on, sort of like a clean sweep. A question though what happened to the other member of Torchwood as I never watched the last series. Did they die?

Yep, Gwen even said something along the lines of "We'll go out fighting, like Owen and Tosh."

I am I would be very sad to see the 10th Doctor regenerate and not exist anymore, however regeneration aside that was a brilliant episode.

anyways mine from another forum

oh man seeing the cast of all 3 shows together, that was just brilliant, and this regeneration man thats going to be interesting, and thank god those romours about Harriet Jones being the red Dalek are untrue.

meanwhile Cann temporal shifting back to the Time War seems to pretty much explain why Rose can come back, her not being in the loop was good.
I just have one question, how on earth are the citizens of the Whoverse going to forget that all of this happened, like so many alien invasions before

Could Donna have been the one that picked the masters ring up seeing as she was hearing the drums.......?

I'm hedging my bets Harriet picks / picked up the ring - after all, we didn't see Harriet get actually zapped, plus she had technology that seemed to have come from nowhere. What's the "Mr. Copper Foundation?" by the way? Finally she seemed to have a great interest in meeting the man- well, timelord- who destroyed her career.
 
I would of loved to see more of the battle with the Valliant ? from what I know that ship is supposed to be a tough and the Dalek never broke sweat it seems.

What is that device Martha had but was told she cannot use ?
 
I think the hand will force the regeneration into forming the same body again, therefor Tennent gets to play both the tenth and eleventh doctors.

Which would be sweet.

Oh RTD, why do you wait until your time is up to start writing so well?

yes would have liked to have seen more of that as well, guess they had to cut costs somewhere, im just pleased it got featured. Same goes for Harriet Jones being exterminated, we didn't actually see that (dont think im not wondering if there is a reason for that)

it sounds fimilar I just cant place it.
 
Nobody seems to have mentioned the part Donna has to play. She is "something new", about to have a loss, and apparently very necessary in the events about to unfold. My suspicion is that she will dive towards the Doctor thinking he's dying (nobody's explained the regeneration to her), and I think she might get zapped with regeneration energy (Cpt Jack was very insistent that they back off). What could happen to every single cell in her body if she were exposed to all that regenerative energy?

Oh, and has anybody tried phoning the Doctor's number?

I don't think the BBC can afford to show us a big space battle no matter how much i would like to see it i think they have spent there money on F1
Is it true the budget for BBC drama has been cut from £240m to £200m for next year?
 
I heard a great theory (Not true so don;t worry about spoilers) about the regeneration being screwed up due to the 1 second delay thingy that Davros has created to hide the planets and the 9th Doctor will return to then be made back into the 10th once the delay thing is undone...

Not true but still a nice idea though I do wonder if the way to beat the Daleks is to trap them in this region of space so there beaten but still around ot use for the future.

I don't think we've heard it before, I'm thinking it's gonna tie in to the specials, or next series.

They did tell her that he regenerates and his body changes.
 
Wait a minute when Harriet said MR.COPPER foundation ain't that...

The old man from VOTD who had millions of pounds at the end.
 
Well, the Judoon were 'police-for-hire' in their original appeareance. I was a bit surprised the Shadow Proclamation wasn't apparently one of the "Time War aware" powers.

Anyway.. it was Fantastic. Especially Davros! Technically, the last time we saw him he was in an escape pod fleeing from the Seventh Doctor, but his story was nicely summed up. And I do love those very lyrical descriptions we always get of the Time War (The Child of Nightmare or whatever it was, that sounds fantastic). And the Doctor tried to save him! That's very Doctor-ish, awesome!
 
I thought that was odd, in an all out war why would he try to save Davros, I can just about understand his actions with the Master, but not trying to save Davros
