Paid Members Surf Digby Posted August 14, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 When you look at the locations, Bessie, the Who-mobile, and so on, it's clear that the budget and it's standing within the BBC was considerable. However, when I think of Pertwee, I just remember the scene where he's demonstrating how he communicates with aliens who speak with their eyebrows or by blowing raspberries.

The Natural Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I thought the first Matt Smith series was much better than the second one. I liked tonight's opener to Matt Smith's third series. I'd like to watch it again and see if a second viewing makes me like the episode more, the same or less. The only Doctor Who episodes of Matt Smith's I've watched more than once since the return of the series: The Eleventh Hour, The Time of Angels, The Doctor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted September 1, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 Episode 1's supposed to have every design of Dalek ever, as if that wasn't obvious from the picture. Fucking prick tease. Â I spotted the special weapons Dalek, and at one point there was an old head on what looked like a Eccleston/Tennant era body, but no signs of Necros Daleks or Daleks with the power dishes on their backs. Why they'd incarcerate them with the vehicle shells anyway, I'm not sure about. Mutants in jars would make more sense. Â Zombie Daleks? Fuck that. I'm getting increasingly bored of nano-technology being brought in to cover plot holes or cover lazy writing. It's similar to how John Nathan-Turner got rid of the sonic screwdriver as it could seemingly solve every possible problem the Doctor encountered. Â Overall, quite a disappointing. Not enough Dalek action, and too much blubbing from Amy. And from a fucking Dalek. Nobody wants to see a Dalek cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members chokeout Posted September 1, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 Am I right in thinking that the dalek woman was the new companion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Up Chuck Posted September 1, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 That was the big thing for me. Was convinced it wasn't her til the credits rolled. Amazing that they managed to keep that under wraps and I can't wait to see where it goes! Â The Daleks were a bit of a let-down, yes, but I still enjoyed it. It didn't blow me away like the last two openers did but the companion stuff is enough to keep me very, very interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamp Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I really liked this, the ending was a little cheesy, but everything else was pretty good. Looks like a step up from the last series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Up Chuck Posted September 2, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted September 2, 2012 It's cool that people who didn't enjoy the last series seem to be liking this, generally. I loved the last series, but the show won't hurt itself by winning back some viewers who didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Cyfer Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 think they will end up doing something like the Adric Story where he will end up letting her join up and boarding the ship Alaska. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I still don't get how they were hearing a subconscious, essentially, throughout the episode... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Up Chuck Posted September 3, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 They mentioned Daleks having a psychic network, they mentioned her being a genius, and the asylum had a PA system. She's hacked into *everything* from inside there, it's just that she thought she was tapping away on a keyboard, whereas she was actually just operating with the Dalek psychic network.

d-d-d-dAz Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) No, I get that. Â I get how she was communicating, what doesn't make sense is why they were hearing a female voice when at the final meeting they made clear that whilst she thought she was communicating as a human it was actually a subconscious construct and she was outwardly communicating as a Dalek. There is no logic behind them hearing a womans voice. She was a Dalek. Â I usually detest people that pick up on small flaws, but that was pretty huge. Â Less so, but another annoyance was five minutes after deriding the Daleks for being scared, The Doctor telling Amy to cling on to the feeling of being scared as it wasn't a Dalek trait. Â Other than that, it was a fun episode. Â I'm a Moffat mark, though, and as this essentially was an episode that harked back to a time before Moffat I wasn't the best audience. Still tremendously acted, though, and the show will suffer when the core cast are disbanded. Edited September 3, 2012 by d-d-d-dAz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
