I think this episode was not one of my favourites. (Clara was great though!)

The Architect twist could have been cool, if they hadn’t rushed the explanation so much. Personally I think this episode is the worst of Peter Capaldi yet, although that isn’t really saying much as he’s been a fantastic Doctor. I did like that there were two creatures, and I really liked half-cyber guy (can’t remember his name :P)

I definitely don’t regret watching it, but I think there were some wasted chances to make this episode even better.

(Ragged breathing) too… much… paradoxes to contain at once… blurgh (Faints from over-Doctor Who-ey-ness)

 

Alright, slightly over dramatic, but still, this episode is awesome! Fairly anticlimactic and a bit higgledy piggledy, but a good episode nonetheless. I loved the ‘why do you need three mirrors’ bit, and I think having Clara influence Rupert/Danny Pink’s future is so adorable/creepy! One quick thought… who brought in the ‘fear is good’ thing? Because the Doctor told Clara, but then Clara went back in time and told young Doctor, so who told who first and where did it originally come from?

Yay! I finally watched deep breath! Alright Peter Capaldi, I apologise for thinking I wouldn’t like you… very good episode, although it felt a tiny bit…. un-doctor-who-ish. I dunno. I loved the bit where Vashtra was ‘painting’ only to be working on their crime investigation! The only bit which really confused me out of the whole thing was the end, with the ‘promised land’ and that creepy lady who seems to know the Doctor. hmm…

oh, okay, thanks for clearing that up. But the movie wasn’t rubbish! It was pretty good in fact!* (personal opinion, I know, but it really was quite good (except for the eye-keeping-open device, that was just weird.)) Sad to hear that Doctor Who was once cancelled… Good thing it started up again!

 

* this may or may not be because I quite like Paul Mcgann’s hair and voice. And the motorbike riding.

[VashtaNerada @replies]

Woohoo! Just watched the Doctor who movie, so now I’m able to blab about it! Paul Mcgann is a good doctor. A lot of people I know who have watched the classics don’t like him, but he’s nice and fits the characteristics of the Doctor. He has very nice hair as well! Too bad he didn’t get more episodes, although he does have all those audiobooks.  Does anybody know if  there was a reason for making a movie instead of the normal episodes?

[VashtaNerada @replies]

Just a quick question- where would I go if I wanted to blab my heart out about the Doctor Who movie, which I have just recently watched? I’ve probably skim-read the link about 50 times, but I just can’t find it!

that’s one incredible time you must have had! Just going on amusement park rides is more than enough terror for me for a month! Hope the finger gets better soon… or you could just chop it off and throw it into the shadows, my friends would much appreciate the snack 😛

@craig

 

wow. Okay. Don’t die. I wouldn’t have that much courage!

[VashtaNerada @replies]

Well, I think I’ll just jump onto this topic and pour my heart out! 😛

 

Donna is probably my favourite Doctor. I dislike the romance companions such as Rose as it really puts a halt to friendly fights and I sometimes felt that Rose was too…. how do I put this… mushy? Not the word I’m looking for, but still. Donna was loud, fierce and capable, and she questioned and helped the Doctor in times of need. Martha is probably my second favourite; she also was very capable of looking after herself AND the Doctor, which she did several times when they were in hiding or stuck without the TARDIS. Amy Pond and Rory I also like a lot because instead of loving the Doctor (okay, she kind of did) she had a husband. And with the timey-wimey stuff with River Song….

 

I have to say, my least favourite has to be Rose. Nothing to do with her acting, she’s great, but I simply don’t like her as much as the other companions. Susan is also one of my least favourites, also for the same reason, as well as Peri.

Thanks, I think I will definitely see how Capaldi develops as the Doctor. I tend to dislike new Doctors for a few months, then absolutely adore them and hate it when they regenerate. I’m sure he’ll be  a great actor, and I’m really interested to see if they will explain the fires of pompeii in one of his episodes.

[VashtaNerada @replies]

My favourite Doctor is David Tennant (It isn’t ONLY because of his hair…. that’s about two-sevenths of it),  with Matt Smith a close second. I admit I haven’t watched many of the classics, alright, I’ve watched five of the classics, but one of those was the caves of Androzani and according to lots of people that’s the best one ever, so….

 

Anyways, getting slightly off topic as usual, I think i’m not going to like peter Capaldi as the Doctor very much… Sorry Capaldi, barely know you and already don’t have high hopes! It may just be the shock of Matt Smith leaving, but I….. I just have a gut feeling. I don’t mean to offend anyone, please don’t nuke me! 😛

[VashtaNerada @replies]

Oh look, I’ve found my way home!

 

I absolutely love this episode… The terrifying repeating of the last sentence you said, the fear of darkness and shadows, and the introduction of River Song! I really like how they introduced her in the tenth doctor’s time line when really most of her interaction is with the eleventh (although I do have a little theory up my spacesuit that she may have an encounter with the twelfth.). Fear the Vashta Nerada…….!!!

 

Fear the Vashta Nerada.

I haven’t actually seen deep breath yet, and will have to record it since I’m busy when it screens on TV. Thanks about the image! *smiles darkly* yes, yes, be afraid!

@revrabon

One of the best places is the TARDIS core, a wiki specially for Doctor Who. And with the question of what order to read/listen to/watch things, I would suggest to look out for tell-tale signs like Companions and Doctors that show where the story is parallel to the TV series. Not very helpful but it’s what I do 🙂

[VashtaNerada @replies]

way to make me sad tennantlove 😛 just kidding, but still brings a tear to my eye. My thoery is when she sayd “and the baby” and quickly replies “It’s Mums” she’s actually lying, she’s the one who is pregnant but she knows if the real doctor knew this then he would rip apart the time vortex to be with her and would ultimately destroy the universe.

Midnight is probably my second favorite tenth doctor episode, after silence in the library as you might have guessed, because the monster is unseen. That really adds an aspect of fear because you aren’t quite sure where it is at any time. And like the angels and the silence  you directly interact with it- with the angels you have to look at them or they move, with the silence you can’t look away or you forget they even exist, and with the Midnight monster, you talk to it and it consumes you. I was really moved by this episode, and I have to say I spent the rest of the day thinking about it and doing the whole “what if?” thing in my head, but that’s what I love about this episode. It makes you question how humans think and how far we will go to save our own skin.

Hello! I’m new here… don’t really have a clue what’s going on, didn’t find an introduction page and thought I’d pop in here instead! I’ve watched all of series 1-7, and some old ones such as the caves of androzani so I like to think I know at least a bit about Doctor who, so hello!
