@dentarthurdent  This is one of those episodes that I watch quite often because I like seeing the Doctor off the Tardis and out of his comfort zone. A fish out of water story. The difference between the comedy on the first floor and the horror on the “second floor” makes it very chilling. And that killer black mold growing on the ceiling is…[Read more]

@missy You’re right, because the sun was like an entity on the ship trying to punish them for stealing from the sun.  I kind of remember now.

@dentarthurdent A little off-topic, but I wonder if a day will come where we make ships that can come into contact with a sun.

@dentarthurdent I’m surprised these episodes made you lose interest in the series back during original run.  I remember when I watched the Pandorica episodes at the end of the season I felt like it had a cop out ending sort of, but Idk how I would feel about it now.  I kept on watching through season 6 I know, but then kind of stopped for a w…[Read more]

So I’m going to talk about The Hungry Earth, which is part one of this episode.  Go figure this second part has 2 threads…

So the Doctor & Co were going to a beach but wound up at a graveyard.  The people in the Graves have been going missing, as does the crew member for a drilling team.

The Doctor and Amy examine the drill team’s building a…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent You made an interesting observation about this being one of the first times the Doctor seems powerful, sitting in the throne andvtalking to the fish person.  I’m not sure if I agree or disagree, but now I wish I could have noticed.

I totally missed mentioning the Rory eunuch joke.  See, this episode was straight up funny!

@dentarthurdent I recall at one point they mentioned that these weeping angels seemed to have devolved a bit, and lost some of their angelic appearance, which is why they weren’t so easy to recognize as weeping angels early in the two-parter.  Something about they had no energy to feed on, and then at one point they found an energy source and…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent Thank you, you made some sense of that whole plot!  I guess I missed the part where the angel had crashed the ship, and kept getting confused about whether the beginning scene was related to this Stormcage Jail.  I still wonder why she was allowed to act alone for such a big part of the mission.

hey everyone 🙂 how are you all 🙂

this cheered me up soo much 🙂 I was telling my friend about my comment and was checking back on this page and was like hey where is what I was refereeing to before the previous comment ?

Turns out as I was writing my 2 or 3 confusions @Rewvian the review champion I believe now posted his ideas while I was…[Read more]

hey everyone 🙂 how are you all 🙂

I was reading the previous lovely review, at the part talking about the Bishop being River’s warden and something struck me and yes its soo early on the 2 parter that I could hope onto IPlayer and check but since I’ve just thought of this now and never before and sort of broken my pretty good enjoyment of the ep…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent I had completely forgotten about River being able to fly the TARDIS better than the Doctor at the beginning of the episode, but I thought that was a great scene.  Apparently the TARDIS makes its familiar noise because he leaves the breaks on.  The scene with the “homing box” and the writing in Gallifreyan suggests early on that R…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent This remains my favorite episode of the Chibnall era. Just when I thought he couldn’t pull it off, he did. So this was a really nice surprise for me. Now, if you like the Flux, then I’m going to have to rewatch it. For me, it was “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing” (the impression many of Chibnall’s episodes have left on me).

@dentarthurdent I think you analyzed and summarized that whole aspect of the episode much better than I was able to.  I think the part about choices not being clear-cut was probably right on the money.  Amy could have very well destroyed the humans to save the Star Whale, but fortunately it just so happened that wasn’t what the Abdicate button d…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent You made some good observations about how polarized Rory and Amy are.  I guess I wasn’t looking for that as much but they really had opposite personalities.

Also the Artraxi were like the Judoon.  I wonder if the Atraxi ever show up again.  Probably they wanted some alien race in the skies for the Doctor’s rooftop co…[Read more]

@devilishrobby I can understand the business side of it. But, from my own fan’s perspective, I’m … well, not a fan.

@dentarthurdent I checked our library system’s Doctor Who collection, which seems to be quite extensive. So I think I will go that route. This seems to work for you; I will just have to be patient. It will be hard to wait and try…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent

I always figured these powers came from the Master’s botched revival.  His need to consume people as well as the superhuman jumping and electrical surges seem to all stem from this energy dependency his body has since he is kind of undead.  I wonder if any of the Master Race had this problem, but apparently not.  Who could they ev…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent

I don’t recall if the term Moment was used or not, but the Time Lords did mention how the Doctor would take out the Time Lords and the Daleks to end the war.

I also thought it was farfetched having the Doc jump from the spaceship through that glass ceiling and land on the hard floor.

The old people did manage to track down the…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent

@janetteb

I will try to remember to check out Night of the Doctor and The Last Day when I get to Day of the Doctor.  I may need some reminding closer to that time, heh.  o_o

And Dentarthurdent don’t be so sure, I am not sure I’ll be able to keep up the pace I’ve been going at with the first 4 seasons and the specials.  I have Th…[Read more]

@rewvian I echo what @dentarthurdent says. Definitely watch Night of the Doctor and the follow up mini-sode, The Last Day which is designed to lead into Day of the Doctor. They are both well worth watching.

cheers

Janette

@dentarthurdent I didn’t see Night of the Doctor, but if there was anything shown in the Day of the Doctor then I probably forgot it over the years.  I have seen brief clips of McGann from that scene, in other things.  I would say at least the 8th Doctor got more exposure than the War Doctor.

@janetteb Since the Doctor made the whole Cyber King v…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent I’ve seen brief clips of McGann’s scene where he becomes the War Doctor, but not this entire short apparently.  If any of it was shown in the Day of the Doctor then I really don’t remember.  It will be a while until I get to rewatch that one.  I guess the 8th Doctor still got more exploration than the War Doctor.

@janetteb My gu…[Read more]
