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

I loved that one.

But omg, NEXT WEEK!

I bet you've been waiting ever since you started watching Doctor Who for a Robin Who episode

Hehehe, I hope they do it justice, I'm so excited

Ooh it's going to get really interesting! That's true! It's like what syrettd said too as the Dalek said "your a good Dalek" instead. It just proves how prejudiced he is as he isn't so different to them, but he's full of such hatred for them.
I don't actually like it that the doctor is darker. I think it's an interesting way to explore him but in my eyes the doctor is supposed to be a good man. I knew though from the 50th anniversary he was supposed to be the angry doctor. All he had was a second but from his one look you can tell he's different from the others. O.O

BTW, what happened to Gallifrey? They finished that whole thing with the time Lords coming back and suddenly it's like that never happened? Gah. It's being lazy.
I wish Doctor who was more simple. I have an awful memory so when episodes link back to many episodes previously, there is no way I can remember. if they're going to continue something, they should atleast put it in the next episode. Instead of creating new ideas all the time. So when they continue an old idea I'm like TF? What is he on about?

Would not be surprised (although would be extremely disappointed and pissed off) if Rusty turns up with Vastra, Jenny and Strax at some point.

Would love Rusty to become an enemy again (but a massive villain rather than a simple dalek), would hate him joining the vastra, jenny and strax coup though

Would get Rusty tattooed on my forehead, surrounded by hearts, if he exterminated Vastra, Jenny and Strax.

Haha I'd join you (awkward moment when we regret this in a few months or so)

Tbh I think rusty has the potential to be a great villain, why? because he's seen into the Doctors mind, I can't remember many daleks doing that in the past although I may have forgotten something.

I'll just keep a fringe for the rest of my life. At least we'll have amazing conversation starters

That's actually a really good point. I don't know how they could bring him back, but if they did this would be a really interesting angle for them to take. Who knows what Rusty could have seen in there? They might have to think of a more menacing name than Rusty though!

Haha ''Where did you get that?'' in response ''have you seen doctor who? ''

You know what I find interesting is it could be a plot by the daleks all along, deliberately damage rusty to then gather information and memories the doctor has had, probably to create a timelord dalek or something freaky

I like the name its simple, imagine if rusty turn bad as is about to destroy the world then capaldi just says ''Oh no rusty, I thought we used to be friends!''

Loved loved loved it. A Dalek episode that actually did something original with the whole idea?! Ace.

As for Doctor hating soldiers - that isn't new. He hates guns, violence, and only works with soldiers when he absolutely has to. It was no more extreme in that episode than before. And showing Danny Pink weeping over things that happened when he was a solider is hardly anti-military, is it?! I don't even see why this is an issue tbh.




Also, Journey Blue (Zawe Ashton) is my godsister

I forgot about when the Doctor said "crying was for civilians" could definitely have used that in my Ofcom complaint that the episode was insensitive and prejudiced about soldiers.The whole episode seemed to attack the whole idea of soldiers in a completely one sided way.I thought the episode was brilliant though(much better than the appalling Asylum of the Daleks0 and this is Capaldi's best episode(I have seen some leaked ones) Capaldi seems to be a bit hit and miss.

Yeah, I think some people (on other websites!) are overreacting about the Doctor's hating on soldiers. I remember a few times he's shown a dislike, one of the more recent ones that springs to mind being when Martha joined UNIT. I seem to recall he wasn't too happy about that.

You know Zawe Ashton? Tell her to get her butt back to filming Fresh Meat

Loved the episode. Interesting that we see the doctor save the soldier girl just before she died by wrapping his tardis around her. I think is what missy is doing when she greets people in ''heaven'' when they ''die'', suggesting that she is a timelord or at least has a tardis
