Doctor Who - Discussion Thread III (no untagged future spoilers)

Was nobody else a bit uncomfortable with the resolution?

1) Everyone's souls are uploaded into the cloud.
2) Their bodies for all intents and purposes are dead.
3) They will be buried and decomposing.
4) When they are downloaded back to their bodies they will wake up underground and **** knows if they were cremated.
5) Therefore the Doctor has essentially just sent thousand of people to horrifically slow 're-deaths' and/or created zombies

I am very bored of 'hacking' scenes in the media in general. Watching a character randomly bash keys very quickly is not my idea of fun.

Hi everyone,

So I'm really curious, I've been watching the 2005 series from the start again and have reached the Doctor and Martha's stage. Is it just me or does anyone else not like her? I think it's more Freema Agyeman than the actual character of Martha Jones but she ruined it for me, I hated her.

Thoughts?

The thing I disliked about Martha, and most of the New Who assistants is the fact that they all seem to fall in love with him. This is why I was so fond of Donna - she had none of that "unrequited love for the Doctor" crap and just got on with it.

Having said that, my absolute favourite series finale has to be Utopia/The Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords.

I don't get why they decided to give Clara an internet skills package? I can see why the GI would want clever minds, but I don't see why it would want clever minds with computer skills?

I think it was that everyone uploaded shares the collective hive 'memory' when integrated rather than them deciding specifically to give her computer skills. Bear in mind too, they weren't expecting her upload to be reversed

Written by Amelia Williams.

More interested in the dialogue during that though..

Clara - What chapter are you on?
Kid - 10
Clara - 11 is the best. You'll cry your eyes out.

Foreshadowing? I worry for 11 now.

I know but think about it, realistically, a hot guy with a space ship turns up on your door step telling you he can show you the whole of space and time, you'd deffo fancy him at least. Rose it wasn't unrequited, Martha like a crush, Donna was just a friend and Amy just wanted to get him into bed, river was married to him, although I see what you're saying I think all the assistants had a very different relationship with the doctor

They said to splice her a computer package or something.

I don't really think Matt Smith can be described as "hot", but point taken.

The thing is, do we really need to see EVERY assistant fancy him and fall in love with him? It's just boring now.

Even though I am more than happy with the last two companions due to the extreme eye candy, the series could probably do with a male one as a full time companion and absolutely zero women taking one of the two lead roles. Obviously this won't happen as the BBC would be accused of being polictically incorrect, sexist and/or the embodiment of evil but the 'bromance' genre is pretty huge right now and it could really switch up the dynamic.

There's also the possibility of having more than one companion. I know Amy and Rory travelled together, but they were married to one another. In the past there were often several companions, not necessarily connected to one another, and not necessarily human. It made for more interesting dynamics between the Doctor and the companions, and it was less predictable. You could have a male companion picked up from another planet travelling with the Doctor and Clara, giving the show a bromance element without needing to get rid of Clara altogether and avoiding accusations of sexism etc...
