Title: *SPOILERS* Doctor Who Season Finale
Post by: Mitsu on June 29, 2008, 05:00:31 am: Well, Series 4 has been my least favourite so far... No, I take that back, I didn't like Eccleston at all. But anyways, the finale was looking really good from the teasers, though I was kinda hoping for something not Dalek related(they've been in every season of the new series and in the finale of three of them). Davros being back is neat though.

Anyways, I hated the cliffhanger at the end 'cause I like David Tennant as the Doctor. Though, I'm inclined to believe that something will go wrong with the regeneration... or something strange so that Tennant stays and I say this because that girl from the library episode knew him from the future, and it seemed to be the same Doctor 'cause she recognized him and commented on how young he looked. So if we do get a new Doctor we have continuity issues, just like in the finale of Eccleston's season.

Post by: Pyru on June 29, 2008, 09:49:59 am: Series 4 isn't a least liked series of mine atm, but series 3 was definitely better. No Catherine Tate, and Freema kicked frikkin' ass. The finale's looking good, though... this wasn't the worst way to bring back the Daleks (series 2 finale already did that one) and it does help explain why the Doctor can't just go back to the start of the Time War and save everyone.

I don't think there were continuity issues with Eccleston leaving - he'd always planned to leave after a single series. :/

Anyway, I'm tempted to believe that the regeneration will be undone with a Deus Ex Machina at the end of the episode - the whole Earth being invaded in the present time frame by Daleks is a bit too extreme, and the series - including Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures - have tended, to a lesser extent, to fix these kind of issues with some kind of time paradox (Okay, I dunno about SJA, but it happened at least twice in Torchwood and once in DW). I'm thinking some special effect of the Medusa Cascade maybe?

(If you think about it, it's kinda supported with how likely Gwen, Ianto and Sarah Jane are likely to die in the next episode... there will be more series of both Torchwood and SJA, so they can't really have their flagship characters dying in a different series first)

If I recall, Tennant's already been signed to do the Christmas Special and the next three specials after that... but I'm not sure if he's on to do Moffat's first series. Either way, he's staying, don't worry.

In other points: Christ, almost the whole gang's back now: all that's missing is the guy with the opening-up skull from series 1, Mickey, and Martha to get her ass back to the Doctor.

I think the Daleks have been downgraded somehow - they got hit by both bricks and a paintgun ball. Normally their shields protect them from just about everything, even if it shouldn't be a threat. So maybe Gwen and Ianto do stand a chance against a lone Dalek?

And Jack's got his teleporter back, but I'm guessing he's lacking time travel still. That's frikkin' awesome, but I'm guessing it's gonna be undone by the end of the next episode, so he won't have his 'port in Torchwood.

Also, does anyone else think that Rose's teeth look damn ugly right now?

That's not what I mean. When he escapes the Big Brother house, at the time you think it's a disintegrater ray and so the reason the Doctor didn't get zapped was because they wanted him alive. So he gets through the white room. But, later you find out it was actually a teleport ray, so why didn't the Daleks just teleport him to their ship? And he wouldn't have had that lovely shield he has when he rescues Rose. Not a big continuity issue, but it's annoying.

Yea, I noticed that about the Dalek shields. It didn't bother me too much, but I thought it was odd. It was actually kinda funny when he says "MY VISION IS NOT IMPAIRED!".

I was hoping for another finale as epic as the season 3 finale with the Master. But I don't think it's going to be that good.

Post by: King Tetiro on June 30, 2008, 10:42:51 am: Im glad I was right with the Time War theory. It was that someone would try to do something with it. Dunno what. Also, I had always thought that it would be awesome for all the Doctor's friends to ally. That happened. Seriously, do I have sightseeing? But anyway, somehow, I think that Donna interupts the regeneration as Rose said that Donna will die. I hope that this theory isn't right.

Anyway, I loved Billie Piper's acting with David Tennant's hold as the Doctor. I hope Rose fully returns :D (And maybe Sarah Jane?)

Post by: SlimmyG on June 30, 2008, 10:54:29 am: I loved "The Stolen Earth" and cant wait to see the finale. I love Rose and Jack being back, they`re my 2 favourite characters aside from Tennant. I dont think he`s going to leave as hes scheduled for the 2009 specials. if you look on the BBC website (I think it was the BBC...) it has Mickey Smith and Jackie Tyler in the credits.
I love the whole, everyone joining together thing, I think It genius.

Personaly I want the return of Rose. She was great, Doctor loved her, and has had time in the parallel universe to mature and become smarter. And ahe worked great with Jack.

Post by: King Tetiro on June 30, 2008, 11:01:46 am: New companion and Rose (Oh and Jack). That would rock!

I don't know. I'm quite fond of the current doctor and also the previous one (he was awesome).

Anyhow, did anyone see the planet thing coming? I missed all three references to missing planets/moons in the series... I'm so ashamed of myself for missing it. I figured out the master thing for the last season three episodes in.

Oh, and I love how the daleks talk a lot more this time round.

I didnt see the planet thing coming, I guessed the master in S3, and I noticed all the Torchwood references in S2. the Bad Wolf was made obvious...

I liked Chris Eccleston (or however its spelt) but after seeing Tennant do it, I look back and think hes not as good as when i first saw him doing it. He was great though.

Post by: Hoffy on July 01, 2008, 07:00:40 am: You guys are already at the finale? We just got the first episode with the Titanic and Christmas and all that last Sunday.

But yeah, by the looks of the preview I got, this season didn't look too amazing. The first two seasons with Rose were probably the best.

This series has its amazing moments, and the end has been/is looking amazing.

Post by: SlimmyG on July 05, 2008, 10:50:20 pm: Oh My God.
That was such an amazing episode.
Kind of upsetting too, at the end...
But i loved it and im probably going to watch the whole series through again tomorrow.
So amazing...
Show content
Maybe his next companion will be a younger version of the woman he met in The Library?

Donna already died in episode 11, she died so that she could change the past which led to her not dying.

Title: Re: *SPOILERS* Doctor Who Season Finale
Post by: a Hint of Lime on July 06, 2008, 08:56:07 am: Hm...

I'm a HUGE doctor who fan, but I felt a little dissapointed at the last one-- donna is no longer going to be a companion, and I quite liked her. The rose storyline is completely over for the most part. Basically the finale was a HUGE fanservice, bringing back every character possible-- but leaving quite a mediocre feeling episode.

The things I'm happy about:
David Tennant = still the doctor
Mickey probably headed to torchwood >:D

Things I don't like:
Martha headed to torchwood? :(
Donna Gone

Post by: King Tetiro on July 06, 2008, 09:04:19 am: Shame that rose is gone forever :'(
Title: Re: *SPOILERS* Doctor Who Season Finale
Post by: Mitsu on July 06, 2008, 05:52:04 pm: I was really excited about watching it, but then it turned out to be a pretty lame episode. I'm glad Donna's gone though, she's the most irritating, Rose comes in second, and then Jack. Didn't really like any of them. Martha was awesome though and she was hardly in it! Urglsticks. Quite frankly, it wasn't as epic as it should've been.

Oh, and I really doubt that the lady from the library will be his next companion seeing as she said he was in his very early days.
