Board 8 > Doctor Who Discussion Topic

(+) Yeah! (+)

Because, why not? I just watched The God Complex and I thought it was great. I can see what some people are saying that it was a little to jarring to go from The Girl Who Waited to that, but I didn't have a problem with it. I'm pretty sure The Doctor's room had a newspaper with the headline "Russel T Davies returns to Doctor Who"

Yeah, she gets better and better as the season goes on.

Well, if I'm being fair I absolutely hated Rose at first, so if Donna improves as much as Rose did, I'll be her biggest fan by the end.

Martha gets too much hate. Rose gets too much love. Most people seem to like Donna and Amy regardless. Obviously, Rory is the best companion.

Also, there's a Doctor Who social board.

Rose is 'okay' when the Ninth Doctor is around. But once the Tenth Doctor rears his backpfeifengesicht, she's intolerable.

Rose was at her worst when she wasn't on the show, and everybody kept referencing how special and wonderful she was.

Rose was at her worst in that one episode where Billie Piper forgot how to speak or have a face.

Having sworn fealty, must I spend my life in servitude to Applekidjosh?

So tonight is the season finale, which feels pretty weird. This season has had a lot of great episodes, but it tried to do both a long-stretching narrative and a bunch of stand-alone episodes which I felt didn't really mesh well together. I know these episodes have been shown out of order a bit, so I would like to seem them in their intended order.

--

this season has been a mess tbqh

probably my least favorite since it has returned

I've enjoyed the episodes on their own, but put them together and it is sorta a mess.

--

Ehh? I thought the finale was next week?

And yeah, this season has been, by and large, pretty bad. Gaiman's episode was one of the absolute best since the revival, and I really liked the first two episodes, but the rest mostly range from ehhh to ugh.

--

Besides the jumbled part of it, I just don't like the fact that it has been a lot of focus on Rory and Amy and the doctor has seemed like just a sideshow. I still have enjoyed it, just not as much as before.

This is the 12th episode, and they are advertising it as the finale. If I'm wrong then I'm glad to be because more doctor who is always great

It is next week. GANON got it wrong.

Anyway, on an episode by episode basis, I feel that this series is certainly the best. The quaality of each individual episode has been mostly very high, with only the pirate episode being kinda iffy. However, I agree with GANON that put together, it just doesn't feel as cohesive as other seasons.

Still good though, if you watch it with episodic entertainment in mind.

Oh huh, I am wrong. I was about to say, I thought it was odd this season was going to end on an episode that looked like it had nothing to do with the overarching plot.

--

the fact that it has been so episodic is also one of the things I don't like as much. I have always liked big picture storylines over 'of the week' type shows, for the most part.

--

Take back what I said about not working as well as an overarching season with the last episode. The way that handled The Doctor's character development was brilliant, and it really worked in the context of the rest of the season and the overarching themes. And of course, the last five minutes of arc stuff worked brilliant.

Not amazing as a standalone story, but I really, really liked the episode in the context of the season.

I get the feeling next week is just going to be another cliffhanger, and the whole thing about the Doctor's death isn't going to be resolved at all.

There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out

Word of God is that Doctor Who is a ripoff of Inspector Spacetime since IS started in 92 and Doctor Who started in 93.

Also Abed mentioned K9 in another episode before.
