    Which season you talking about? I dare not look!

    SPeaking of Dr Who, I was thinking about something.

    Star Trek often sufferes from bad cases of Deus Ex Machina which bugs me to no end. Dr Who's plots are also very much driven by Deus Ex Machina devices, yet I love the series and am not annoyed by it (example: see Rose what she did at the end of the 1st season of the 9th Doc-Tor). I can not figure out why I have two different reactions to the same literary device. Do you guys feel the same or am Ijust whacko?

    In other news I got the DVD set of the first doctor for my dad. We're watching the daleks now (they really were plungers!). Quite a contrast. It seems like these first eps were done live. I totally love them anyways.

    @ Mundane, yeah, can't wait until next week... fortunately we get torchwood in fall, and then the christmas special to bridge the time until series 3...

    @croxis: The funny thing is, i thought the same yesterday after watching episode 12 of season 2.
    I think that has multiple reasons: Dr.Who often seems to be more about the characters, and you are much more involved with them. Also, the series doesn't take itself as serious as TNG. And since there are fewer episodes, you get less tired of it ;)

    Spoiler: I actually hat totally forgotten about the daleks beeing in the season finale, and almost expected the master to come out of the ball :)

    Spoiler: Worf and I are betting that the next series will end with [i]three[/i] old enemies: the Daleks, the Cybermen and the Master. :D

    Living under a rock we are? Doctor Who of course!

    I'm rather liking David Tennant, infact, I think I prefer him to the Christopher guy now....
  • WORFWORF The Burninator
    I think most people do.

    Spoiler: i'm thinking they might actually [i]regenerate[/i] Rose.

    1) you have all the foreshadowing that she's gonna die from previous eps.
    2) Rose is doing the opening narration on Army of ghosts. Normally dead people don't talk any more
    3) There's what Jackie said to Rose: that if she contiues travelling with the Doctor, one day she won't be rose tyler anymore.
    4) We don't know what effects having the Time Vortex inside her really had. What the Doctor did in Parting of the ways seems awfully easy (just sicking it out of her with a kiss...).. there are bound to be some side-effects.

    Or, they just kill her...

    What? Ecclestone was PERFECT.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    That's what I originally thought. But I find I'm actually liking Tennant in the role more.
  • croxiscroxis I am the walrus
    What was the change for anyways? Did Ecclestone not want the part anymore or was it a plot thing?

    If so they need to be careful -- there can only be 12 doctors!
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Eccleston apparently didn't want to get typecast.

    Spoiler: I'm sure the very same comment has been made about every previous companion. Who, by the way, all lasted on average 2 or three series.

    That's what [i]you[/i] think.

    And, as I understand it, there can be 13 Doctors. (12 regenerations, but the first Doctor didn't take one up with his birth (or equivalent thereof) so it's 12+1).

    I was going to post that... :P

    it doesn't say much, nothing i would consider a spoiler:
    Spoiler: basically it just states the name of the character, a bit about the actress, and that she won't be seen before next season (she won't be neither in the next episode, nor the christmas special

    Grilliant!

    The Dalek/Cybermen exchange was just brilliant :)

    There was a line like
    "Daleks have no sense of style" - "We can see that"..

    all in all i think this was one of the best season enders i can think of...
    and the end... such a tear jerker...
  • MundaneMundane Elite Ranger
    Yeah, quite good ending
  • MundaneMundane Elite Ranger
    When does Stargate starts again? I only got The 4400 to watch now :(
