The End Of Time Part 2 - Comment & Grading SPOILERS

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Didn't the actress wind up dating Tennant for a while?

Didn't everybody wind up dating Tennant for a while?

Really, Jenny is the answer to "what happens after 12 regenerations?" Well, then they do the series about Jenny.

We don't know at what rate Timelords age - the Doctor has always aged at the same rate as the actor who plays him, after all.

The Doctor is not the best judge of that. After 1 it seems his incarnations die before their time. The average Time Lord probably lives for millennia.

Yeah, I think he got with her after getting with Madame du Pompadour.

I thought Tennant was already dating Sophie Myles before "The Girl in the Fireplace"

Sophie also stood in for Catherine Tate when she was unavailable for the first read through of "The Runaway Bride"

Tennant's a blond chaser.


I brought this back through the darkness. I thought it was funny.

In those 20 minutes the doctor will be bombarded by "MURRAY GOLD!!!! MURRAY GOLD!" music

Oh, Christ, I hadn't thought of that until now. I fully expect him to throw subtlety and restraint out the window in exchange for "DAAAAA DAAAAA DAAAAAAA CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS MOTHERFUCKERS DAAAA DAAAAA DAAA DAAAAAAAA THIS IS MOTHERFUCKING DOCTOR WHO DAAAAA DAAAA DAAAAAAAAAAAAA DAAAA DAAAAAAAA DAAAAA DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AND I AM MOTHERFUCKING MURRAY GOLD!"

I agree. The first Doctor spent a good deal of time on Galifrey before running off to go on wild adventures. Those same wild adventures are usually high-risk ones that involve angry aleins that wouldn't mind killing him. If the Doctor would have just stayed put he probably would only be at like his third regeneration by now.

I know I did.

Question - How was the White Point Star diamond thing able to escape the time lock and be sent to Earth?

I can maybe understand how the 4 beat heartbeat signal got through, but how where they physically able to send the white point star if they are in a time lock that nothing can get in or out?

anyone?

 

[Nerys Myk]

Wibby-wobby, timey-wimey stuff.

 

[Samurai8472]

Dalek Sec being a Dalek went insane.

The white point star was small enough it fell through the cracks between the time lock.

Now I have wonder at what point are the timelords at?

So do they go back into the lock with the Master striking down Rassilion and continue on?

Or does the master get reverted back to Derek Jacobi and repeat his actions(fleeing the time war and landing on Malcassairo)

Fantastic!

Thats just made my boring lunch break.

 

[Starkers]

Yeah, that's what the Doctor should have done to Jack in that alien bar!

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Also great to see an older man being seen as cool and hip is a slap in the face to all those, you couldn't have an older Doctor, characters need to be young or the youff won't accept them etc etc.

I agree. The idea that theold can't be enjoyed by the young is idiotic.

I especially loved how (old series reference) in "Paradise Towers" when the 7th Doctor first encountered the Kangs (a kind of teenager gang in the future) that they actually really liked the Doctor, and said his fashion was "ice-hot!"

We get so stuck up on this mentality that the only was to reach 17-29 years olds is with 17-29 year olds. No offense to Matt Smith, who I am sure will be great, but I would have loved an old Doctor again if only to prove young people and children would still get excited over him and think he was ice-hot!

Or "rad." Yes, I believe they are all saying "rad" these days.

I absolutely agree. I know and understand why (even if I don't agree with) why this won't happen, but I really want to see an older actor play The Doctor. Bill Nighy, Eddie Izzaard, Stephen Fry...or hell, even Ian McKellan!

The idea that any sort of teenager could find the seventh Doctor's getup "ice-hot" is patently absurd.

Rubbish! I've always thought The Seventh Doctor's outfit was awesome.

I was going to write a thoughtful and slightly angry riposet, but frankly I've been there too, I've done the negative 'he'll be rubbish before we even see him' nonsense. When Daniel Craig was cast as Bond I really went to town...and a year later I was proven 100%, embarassingly wrong. I have issues with the Craig films, but Daniel Craig himself is not one of them. Brilliant casting and I fully admit to being wrong.

I wonder how many of the smith naysayers will do the same? (probably quite a few seeing how many people went from Catherine Tate will ruin the show to best companion evahh! )

I freely admit to be one of those people who feared Catherine Tate's addition to the show but was pleastantly surprised. In fact, I've noticed more Tate naysayers have admitted they were wrong than Craig naysayers. But maybe that's just around here. *shrug*

I liked Simm so much as the Master that I wish he could play the Doctor.

I wanted Simm's The Master to become a series regular. He was great in that role, and I loved the dynamic between him and Tennant's doctor.

When The Tenth Doctor suggested The Master become his companion, I had deeply hoped that Davies actually had the guts to follow through with it instead of going with the ol' fashioned safe route of killing The Master off.

Wonder what ever became of Jenny?

No. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Too bad she'll probably come back.

I just keep thinking about 10b with all the Doctor's memories living in a parallel dimension - a bit of pseudo-science and the walls between worlds can come down again and out pops Rose and 10b; this probably won't happen of course, but it allows for an easy two doctors story in the future without having to worry about walking all over the Doctor's personal timestreams etc. so 10 hasn't actually gone...from a certain point of view.

10b always seemed to be designed as Tennant's way to reappear on the series as much as he would like to in the future. If I understood correctly, 10b will age at the same rate a human does; so 10b will look like Tennant as Tennant grows older.

My pet theory is that 10b becomes "Doctor Who" from the Cushing movies. Has a few kids with Rose (and grandkids) builds a TARDIS and goes off and a few adventures. Tennant might age into looking like Cushing did in the movies.

Ooo...I like that idea! It probably could fit considering we don't know what the Dalek's look like in Pete's World. The Cybermen look drastically different, so there's a presedence...

I liked Simm so much as the Master that I wish he could play the Doctor.

If the current incarnation continues, it might be nice to see him try his hand at being a goodie.

Well luckily my Tate naysaying lasted all of 30 seconds before I realised she was gonna be Tegan mk2...then I releaxed

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Yeah, when you pointed that out, I began relaxing a bit. I wasn't fully convinced until "The Fires of Pompeii," however, when she directly channels Tegan from Time-Flight.

 

[John Picard]

Finally saw it last night. I rated it as "Good". Thought the Time Lords would be permanently returning and it looks like The Master is now gone. It was ironic that Wilf was the one who knocked four times.

Matt Smith's arrival, post regeneration, was brilliant.

 

[Mr Awe]

Question - How was the White Point Star diamond thing able to escape the time lock and be sent to Earth?

I can maybe understand how the 4 beat heartbeat signal got through, but how where they physically able to send the white point star if they are in a time lock that nothing can get in or out?

anyone?

A bigger question for me is, who started the heartbeat signal? It wasn't the High Council, they had to figure it out that they could use it. It wasn't the Master, he was the vicitim. It obviously wasn't the Doctor. So, who started it?

It appears that there may be another party at work here that arranged the "convergence." Something arranged for the alien tech to be placed and used on Earth that allowed the Master to create so many copies of himself and amplify the signal.

Or was that part a coincidence? Something was sending the signal though, intentionally.

Mr Awe

 

[David cgc]

No, it was the High Council. It was an ontological paradox. They were always the ones that sent it out to the Master, even though they only got the idea to send it out from the fact that they'd sent it out in the future.
