Doctor.... Who? Spoilers! Really, don't read if ur not up to date.

[Hemingway Jones]

I'd like to see that. Was Bradley the actor that played Hartnell in the BBC drama about the origins of the show? (I've yet to see that myself, but I hear it's good.)

Yes, he was and it was quite good, surprisingly good. I enjoyed it immensely.

After I read the internet rumor about them possibly filming lost episodes, I began to think of the possibility of recasting former Doctors rather than creating a new one. So, instead of a 13th, go black and begin the season with a new Fourth Doctor, or Third, or First! Sacrilege, yes, but interesting.

Superb writing on this season's episode. Listen was stupendous and The Orient Express-one (name escapes me) was also quite good. The writing has been solid and less showy.

Still, there is something off... It could be the companion interaction. I'm unsure.

Dude! Great costumes, all of them. "Where is My Mummy" is my favorite, but little David Tennant is a close second. :eusa_clap Very creative with the Dalek costume! Just awesome.
And who are you, Dale? A Weeping Angel?

 

[dh66]

Thanks Harv. The baby is the weeping (crying, more accurately) angel of the bunch. After going to every thrift shop in central Alabama hunting for parts for costumes for everyone, I didn't have energy or $$$ left for myself. Maybe I can scratch up something by Friday.

 

[1mach1]

Ah, I see the Weeping Angel now!
Perhaps you could go as The Master? Easy enough costume, although, you might not be recognized as such.

 

[LizzieMaine]

You wouldn't even need a costume. Just tell them you've regenerated.

LOL....easiest costume ever!

I always wanted to do a party themed on the idea of the "next" Doctor.... i.e. come dressed as how you would dress a new Doctor. Could be fun...

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Is it just me or does the lady who was in charge of paradise look like the eye patch lady who stole Amy baby / baby River Song?

They're obviously building up to a big reveal as to who Missy is. My money is on the Master, but Moffat has been known to change things fairly last minute just to try and find something that people haven't guessed (always a bad idea. Sometimes thed reason noone has guessed a particular option is because it's especially stupid and ruins the show; for paradigm examples, see Rose = Badwolf, and the ending of Life on Mars USA). It's possible it'll turn out to be something ridiculously convoluted that makes no narrative sense but gets included to stroke Moffat's ego in yet another "me so clever" ruination of something in which he's involved. I should be more hopeful than that, but Moffat has form.

This week's episode - the London jungle - was, overall, nice (notably, another one not written by Moffat), but I wish they'd cool it with having bloody kids all over the place. They're even more grating than Clara, and that takes some doing.

Ready for Halloween.

You are doing it right.

 

[dh66]

Thanks Dixie, but I can't take the credit. The empty child, little David Tennant, and my wife cooked it all up. Believe me, Rose Tyler there took a lot of hard selling from her brothers not to be Elsa from Frozen.

Agreed! Getting tired of the kids everywhere too. I get it, they're teachers. Enough already.

Am I the only one hoping Paradise will turn out to be the computer "Cal" from Silence in the Library? Kinda hoping River would show up. That'd be a surprise!

 

[Edward]

It's a distinct possibility.

 

[1mach1]

I had a feeling that she was The Master.

 

[Formeruser012523]

Just watched "Dark Water." To avoid Spoilers I'll just say I was disappointed. :mmph:hwell:

 

[Edward]

I had a feeling that she was The Master.

That's the blindingly obvious option.... though that said, being blindingly obvious isn't necessarily bad. It's when they go out of their way to surprise us and thus pick something noone will guess simply because noone will guess it that they go wrong.....

I liked Dark Water a lot. I just hope they don't ruin it by jumping on the easy "happy" ending. I've got my fingers crossed for Clara's untimely (only in the sense that it should have happened long, long ago) death. Daren't get my hopes up, though, with Moffat still around. They can make episodes like this that hint to a return to former glories all they like, but until Moffat is out, it'll never recover quality.

I had a feeling that she was The Master.

Bingo!

So the path has now been cleared for the next Doctor to be a female. Which goes against all the laws of time and space.
