Awesomeness. Great episode, left you with mysteries right up until the very end. I'm still not sure where the shadow baddies went off to or who Doctor Moon really was.
Lies make baby Jesus cry, bitch.

Read it right after watching the last episode.
FUCK YEAH LACK OF DONNA.
FUCK NO RTD.
Key To Time starts on UKTV Drama on Monday. They're on at 5AM, so you'd have to tape them.
Of all six serials, only The Pirate Planet is a must see, because it's written by Douglas Adams and has a completely ridiculous villain, who's like half robot, half pirate, and shouts things like "by the beard of the sky demon!" and "moons of madness!"

I was still hoping for Romana. Then I remembered that while anyone who brings back original villains is a hero, people who bring back original heroes have so many opportunities to cock it up that they don't bother.

Romana wasn't even a very good character when Mary Tamm played her. She was only good when it was Lalla Ward. I couldn't picture anyone else playing her. Ward was really good, though. One of the best companions.
Her pink version of Baker's costume in "Destiny of the Daleks" was well ace, too.

Yeah I didn't quite get that either. I was reading on wiki though and I assume The Doctor just left the Vashta Nerada in the library (Their forest) after everyone was evacuated. Which is a little dumb since there appears to be no food on that planet...
Also, bit weird how that guy turned out to be real. No doubt he'll turn up in the finale, get killed and cause Donna to make the ultimate sacrifice in his name to destroy the Daleks/Sontarans.
So when will we find out who River Song is? Will this be another Face of Boe style thing which lasts over three series, or will we find out in the finale?

I don't think Sontarans are in the finale. If so, they can't use Skorr as we saw him being shot down by Colonel Mace, and I don't think Staal could have escaped. Also, if the Daleks can trash Metal cans the equivalent of 40k Space Marines, the Sontarans have no chance.

I reckon if we don't find out this series, it'll just be dropped and never mentioned again.

I'd very much doubt they would be. It'd make Davros being there feel less important.

Never heard it mentioned. They change why he doesn't say his name all the time. Spin off material says it's because humans can't pronounce it, and on the series it's just deliberately vague.

Agreed. That was a pretty awesome serial in general, the cliffhanger where you just see Davros' eye begin to glow pleased me in a special place.
Failgrounds.
Oh and before I forget - turns out Surfthechannel have a crapload of Doctor Who episodes I've somehow overlooked up until now:
Failgrounds.

She would have to be The Doctor's future girlfriend. It's pretty heavily implied. I would be surprised if Moffat didn't write her into season 5 though.

But isn't it almost a rule that the introduced classic monster of the season be in the finale? (Daleks season 1, Cybermen season 2, The Master season 3) And it was leaked that the TBA episode was called 'War on Skaro'. War = Sontarans. And as for the Skaro bit well that could just mean war against all Daleks.
I don't think Sontarans are in the finale. If so, they can't use Skorr as we saw him being shot down by Colonel Mace, and I don't think Staal could have escaped. Also, if the Daleks can trash Metal cans the equivalent of 40k Space Marines, the Sontarans have no chance.
They aren't the only Sontarans in the universe. And they'll probably have upgraded weapons.
Posted on /tv/. Can't find it on the site who's name is written on it.
Looks legit, Daleks in old Davros episodes didn't have the big "ear" lights, they had the little circular ones.
Also, Red Daleks rumoured for finale. Dalek Supreme plz.

That's pretty ace, loads of good episodes up, but I'm not keen on watching streaming stuff. Rather wait for the DVD, or torrent it.
I might watch a few of the Pertwee ones, though. It's only lacking Inferno (which is awesome, because it's got evil parallel world Lethbridge-Stewart, who wears an eye patch) and Day of the Daleks.

BBC has confirmed the penultimate episode is called "The Stolen Earth", not "War on Skaro". War on Skaro was assumed for the same reason Davros was assumed to be the villain, the people who make the Doctor Who toys named their new line "War on Skaro".
The summary on the BBC website would suggest we find out what the Shadow Proclamation that The Doctor has talked about a few times actually is.
Oh DR Who is cool, i remember seeing this or reading something about it awhile back, glad to see there is a good following.
~X~
My buddies at Geek Boy Press have been putting out some super cool doctor stuff lately! Good prices too, pickituppickitup!

Episode was shit. Nothing happened for the first half, and then the second half was dull and predictable. Wouldn't expect anything else from RTD, though.
The episode was average, I guess. However, in my 13 years of movie, series, TV and Video Game experience, that was the undisputed WORST ending I have ever seen.

Indeed.
The fact that this one didn't contain any of the overblown set pieces and CGI that RTD usually uses just illustrated how bad his episodes are when they rely on script alone. God his dialogue sucks.
Davros looks sexy though, glad they've kept him identical to the way he was in Genesis of the Daleks.
Failgrounds.

Even when they tried the whole "lol we dno wat it was" was just terrible. Cliché at best.
RTD clearly wasn't paying attention when learning about unseen monsters. You're supposed to give hints as to what they are, catch glimpses of them for a split second, have them leave clues behind like scratch marks or slime or something, not just give no closure whatsoever. It's almost as bad as having an invisible baddy.
Get fucked, The Queen, you've got shit taste in telly.
I don't know what you're all moaning about. I thought midnight was a pretty good show, if a little anticlimactic. I liked how the Doctor didn't figure it out and how when they all ganged up on him he was a bit fucked.
It showed that he's not God and it's a nice little break from "Oh no, monsters! How am I going to get out of this? Oh wait, I'm really clever so I'll just do this. Day saved".
I still can't comprehend what the Doctor was even doing taking a shuttle bus though.
"Some kilometers SOUTH of Dublin, under more control of
the IRA, there is a vast farmland. I'm SUPER cereal"
CAST HIM OUT!
(weakly) cast him out...
Out he goes!
:(just as weakly) out..... he.......goes.
Bit anticlimatic. I remember sitting there thinking "What, that's it?"
I still don't think sontarans are in the finale. However, I am now fully convinced about Davros.

Yeah, I remember looking at the clock when they all started ganging up on him and I thought 'Ten minutes left? I wonder how on Earth this'll get resolved in ten minutes?'
Then some shit went down with a black lady tackling someone and I was all like 'Huh?'
BBC confirmed next season of Torchwood is moving to BBC1, and it's only 5 episodes, that form one continuous story.
That could be pretty ace, it'll be like the old epic Doctor Who serials that would reach 8-10 parts.
Mind, RTD is writing at least one of the episodes, so expect lots of EDGY GAY KISSES, because not only is everyone in the future gay, so is everyone in Wales.
