British Neo-Imperialists with access to Extra-Terrestrial technology... Well I guess the Suns never set on the Union Jack

I prefered UNIT though. Bring them up to date with modern weaponry and put a member of the Lethbridge-Stewart clan in charge. "Jenkins. Chap with wings there, five hundred rounds rapid" (21st Century UNIT Trooper with Minigun opens fire)

This was a mixed bag for me. There were a few minor bits of dialogue that were predictable, and yet it still retained a wonderful, dramatic and camp quality.

Spoiler alert!

Select to view spoiler:


I loved the opening v.o by Billie Piper. It's the darkest this series has ever been. It was a good piece of drama!

Great to see Mickey back in action! I never saw it coming. The pulse rifle was massive! Talk about packing some major heat! 0.0

The 3D glasses were a touch of comic genius! I also liked the part where the Doctor claimed that Jackie was Rose.

The Torchwood Institute is an interesting concept. I've got mixed feelings on this one though. Yvonne seemed a bit weak for a baddie. She sidled up and smiled at the Doctor which was great, but Torchwood seemed a bit clumsy for a powerful enemy. O.o

I look forward to the Torchwood series though.



Bring on the series finale!

OH. MY. FREAKING. GOD!

*Collapses*

I don't want to sound cliche, but it can't be avoided.

There are no words to describe the hour of telly that I have just witnessed. NONE. It's more an emotional feeling than anything that can be put into words.

Although in saying that, the series 2 finale dragged last year's finale into the void. It kicked its arse! I was drained after watching it. There was so much going on.

The best line ever had to be:

Select to view spoiler:


Dalek Supreme: "This is not war. This is pest control."



There are so many other great moments and lines, I can't fit them into this response..

Select to view spoiler:


I was pleased that Yvonne had some decent lines and moments. I found her a bit annoying last week, but man, did she get a decent comeback! "I did my duty for Queen and country!" Excellent!

I was so glad to see that Rose got back with her parents and Mickey again. It was beautifully wrapped up.

*Sigh* Oh man.. I'm getting goosebumps.

The Dalek/Cybermen face off was bloody excellent. The action scenes were well done. Great to see Mickey be the action hero.

I'm not sure how to react to the closing moments. It seemed to spoil the dramatic tone a wee bit, but it was quirky, and made me laugh a bit. The Christmas special is gonna be a weird one.



Anywho, I'm seriously looking forward to series three now..

oh, I know what you mean! I don't think I breathed for the last ten minute.

The whole conversation between the Daleks and the Cybermen was classic. Even found ourselves doing the 'mi-ow!' thing several times.

I almost cried, I don't cry at things, but there was a hint that i might get a lump in the throat.


Oh, that was good.

The ending did annoy me, but only cause I absolutely detest that woman, even more than i hate that idiot who played the azorbawotsit and the two pillocks from little britain. But, it can't be that bad. Roll on Christmas!

Edit - on the comment for last weeks show - the one thing i did like about that is the fact that I thought I knew what the Torchwood series was going to be like, and now having seen that, I have absolutely no idea how they are going to treat it. We know its going to be a lot darker that what we sae there, soi I have great expectations.



Your robot reminds me of you. You tell it to turn it stops. You tell it to stop it turns. You ask it to take out the garbage it watches reruns of Firefly.

Bloody hell! Great episode. Dear lord the Daleks had some good lines.

But the ending... when she showed up I honestly thought they where going to break the fourth wall. Why her?

Who do you suppose is in there?

Doomsday...

...was pretty much exactly spot on, I'd say. Hard to pick any serious flaws really.

And who knew the Daleks were so snippy with their foes? Or maybe it's just those particular Daleks... loved that idea, by the way. Glad they explained the touch-a-Dalek thing. And the 3D glasses, of course :)


Yeah, pretty much perfect, really. Nice one.


...Catherine Tate. Well, maybe she can do 'proper' acting and wants to do more of it. And why should she not have the opportunity to?
