...wait a secondSpoiler, click to toggle visibiltyWhen Missy is asking for snipers, she says she needs "3 for each heart"3.Time Lords only have 2 hearts.Was it an error or deliberate?
No ? I don't remember that particular line, but it's normal. If she claims that she needs "three for each" (somehow), then with two, that makes 6.
I'm barely five minutes into today's episode, and Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltyoh wow, it feels like Missy actually would make a great Doctor.... uuuhSpoiler, click to toggle visibiltyso much WHAT THE FUCKALL THE WAY THROUGHSO MUCH EXPLANATION OF ANYTHING AND EVERYTHINGFOR NO REASON, FUCK YOU HERE'S SOMETHING YOU NEVER KNEW YOU COULD WANT TO KNOW (OR REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW)WHAT

Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltySonic Sunglasses. I don't know if that's the dumbest thing I've ever seen or if I love it just for the sheer ballsiness it must have taken to actually write that into the episode and run with it.I was actually kind of hoping they'd ditch the magic wand for a while and let Twelve go 'hands-free' like Five, Six, and Seven.
I must to say this is the best opening to a season since Ninth Doctor's one. I've stuck on my seat the 2 episodes and it was great, I really felt like I was watching Classic Who episodes. And Missy... wow <3 I cannot wait for the next episode, totally Spoiler: Also, I leave you this (click to see content)
http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/10/01/doctor-who-is-getting-a-brand-new-spinoff-class-for-bbc3/New spinoff, Class, in the school where Clara works. I have no idea what to expect, I can't imagine it being like Torchwood and I never really cared for Sarah Jane and it talks about dark stuff and monsters and evil aliens and grown-ups. Might link to Clara working with UNIT ? But it's based around the school...
I'm more concerned about that rumor of a reduced 2016 Dr Who First I heard of that. Hope it's not true. I sorta liked Torchwood. Loved s3 and I never figured out if I liked s1&2 :pNever got into Sarah Jane either. I'll probably wait for some reviews before I give this a shot.
Meh, Who often has funding issues, so a diminished series wouldn't be too strange (they "split" one of Eleven's series like that already) and waiting isn't new.On Torchwood, I liked the actor Burns Gorman (forgot the character's name), and his S2 arc where he's unkillable. Wasn't too fond of the "children" season, I thought it was pushing it a bit with the scale and trying to have a bigger impact than Who, plus continuing the trend of killing off the whole team after Tosh and Burns (not to mention I cringed super hard when Jack went "I'd sacrifice anything, anyone, to stop you -- no nononono not my boyfriend please no nooooo !" that was awful). S4 was pretty novel in the base concept, but it was much too American and it simply vanished without a word.I tried a few Sarah Jane episodes, and it's basically kids having wacky adventure with a Zordon computer intelligence and lots of asspull tech and asspull investigation because lol. So nope. But the atmosphere felt close to the Tennant Doctor, that was the better part of it.I'm hoping for something that focuses on the unnatural / supernatural, mystery and investigation, without trying to hard to be edgy, Torchwood was fun but it tipped a bit too often to that dark side of tryharding.
The biggest trepidation I have with that concept is that with Danny dead and Clara on the way out of Who the only established character they have left with ties to Coal Hill school is Courtney Woods and she is such a goddamn teenager that I can't see a show starring her being any good.
Yeah I liked Owen Harper's story too. There was a lot of good in S1 and S2 that's for sure. But there was a lot of bad too I guess we have a bit different tastes though with S3. But I can see your issues with it for sure. It felt very final to me. So much so I have yet to watch S4 because I like the ending so much and don't want to ruin it with S4's new "vision".I missed the S7 split with Matt Smith by coming in late. But I read about it. I accept it but that doesn't mean I want to go through it hah!

This doesn't sound too appealing though. Kids! Darkness! We Kingdom Hearts now! (Unless they bring back Ian and Barbera)I miss Torchwood. Whatever happened to it? I know Miracle Day didn't get that many views or something.
It wasn't doing very good and it was out of money (it's hard enough maintaining Who), it was bought by the US and they drove it into the ground and it didn't work and it went out of money again and they lost interested. Despite the giant sequel hook at the end (where S3 seemed pretty easily final).
Hahahaha flash cards to respond with appropriate empathyGod damn it they're going to do these two-parters with insane cliffhangers all season, aren't they.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltythis season is all about important characters dying right off the bat except they don't actually die- the doctor prepared his will becasue he was sure he was going to die except he didn't- clara was killed at the end of the 1st episode excpet she didn't- missy turned out to be alive after being pressumed dead and was apparenlty killed but wasnt and later left to die except we know she won't- davros was going to die but then didnt and was later apparenlty killed along with a planet full of daleks excpet we know they won't- the doctor apparenlty died and turned into a ghost by the end of the 3rd episode but we know his not dead... maybe. but even if he is he'll come backis rory writing this season?also, i'm calling it that the doctor will be inside that suspended-animation chamber or at the very least it will be relevant to his survivali'm really liking this season so far
Oh god, I fucking loved that last episode. It was absolutely a quintessential example of what you'd see in a classic-era Doctor Who serial. The 'secluded base' setting full of tight, non-descript corridors, the looming horrors killing ancillary characters left and right that are nowhere near fully explained in the first part, the impossibly dire cliffhanger at the very last second. Just brilliant.In other news, the War Doctor is back! In audio form! Big Finished just announced that John Hurt is on board for a new series of audio dramas starring the War Doctor and set during the Great Time War.
