Owen Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 But at the same time, while she was nice to look at - and should have been wearing a space-bikini - the acting was terrible...until she died. But then, she's in the cast for next week. So we'll see. The acting was not too bad, she played an idiot well. Quote
Laramie Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 My 8 yr old announced at the end - When we go to the library can I take my torch? *laughs out loud* bless! At least s/he has not been scarred for life by the episode XD Quote
Mia Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Just some David Tennant trivia... Apparently he is now dating Georgia Moffatt, who played the Doctor's daughter! Also, he is on Derren Brown's show again on Friday. Quote
Laramie Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 heh cool. ooooh cool is it a new one or a repeat? Quote
Mia Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 It's not a repeat - for the final show of the series he is gathering together everyone from this series (including Tennant!) and playing some kind of trick on them. It should be good, especially watching how DT interacts with members of the public. Quote
Laramie Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 ooh cool i shall have to look when it is thanks! Quote
Michelle Posted June 7, 2008 Author Posted June 7, 2008 Well, before I start wandering around forums etc, getting the good and bad responses, I just wanted to say that I LOVED that episode! Quote
Inver Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Totally confused and mixed up with tonights episode!! Kenny says it could have been better. Quote
Michelle Posted June 7, 2008 Author Posted June 7, 2008 Possibly a little too confusing for younger viewers.. I'm not looking forward to explaining this to my 9 year old (who's watching at her nan's)! Quote
Mia Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Ha! It was too confusing for me, never mind a 9 year old! But it all became clear at the end. Hold onto your hat Michelle, 'cos I loved that episode too! I thought the whole concept was very clever. Stephen Moffatt is probably my fave Dr Who writer, and I'm glad he'll be taking over from Russell T Davies. The bit with Donna in her virtual world was quite unsettling, the way everything moved on in a flash, but excellent. I love it in films etc when the character finds themselves in a weird place and knows everything's not quite right, but they can't find out how. It was such a shame at the end when Donna just missed seeing her perfect husband and he couldn't shout to her in time because of his stammer! Nooooo! I'm glad River Song was "saved" as that was a bit sad and she was very brave. Loved the bit of humour about the handcuffs! Quote
Michelle Posted June 7, 2008 Author Posted June 7, 2008 Hold onto your hat Michelle, 'cos I loved that episode too! We've been brought together by Moffatt! Quote
Janet Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Kudos to Katherine Tate (of whom I'm not normally a fan, although I've loved her as Donna from the start). Her portrayal of Donna's misery when her children disappeared was heartrending - I was crying along with her! Great episode - if a bit confusing in places. Quote
Michelle Posted June 8, 2008 Author Posted June 8, 2008 Oh absolutely.. but I get the impression that Moffatt is a huge fan of books, so he's probably read it, and wanted to use the idea. It's being discussed on other forums, so maybe a few Dr Who fans might now pick up the book. Quote
Owen Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 I suppose she had the pout down to a t, its something to hold onto Quote
vampirebloom Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 wow... that's what i call and episode... 10/10 best of the series so far, i'm really looking forward to next week's Quote
Guest Sedgewick Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 A good script from Moffat, let down in some places by his use of repeated tropes, especially his 'The Doctor Dances' cry of everybody lives, the get-out-of-jail card that was a trapdoor leading to...er, nowhere...to aid the Doc's escape. The second part was also a bit predictable but still contained many good ideas, notably characters conscious of scene continuity, in the case of Donna in the hard drive. I doubt we'll meet River Song again, at least on TV, as it's an interesting bit of speculation that should last and last and last, if you believe Moffat in Dr Who Confidential. Overall, though, it was the strongest of the season so far and will probably remains so, especially since it's all Davies epsodes from now up until 2010. Quote
Mia Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Overall, though, it was the strongest of the season so far and will probably remains so, especially since it's all Davies epsodes from now up until 2010. Is it? That's rather disappointing. I don't mind Davies, but I prefer Moffat's writing. Quote
Guest Sedgewick Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Is it? That's rather disappointing. Yes: For this season: Midnight Turn Left TBA Journeys End And then the four specials next year. Quote
vampirebloom Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 wow...that was weird ... noooooo next week Quote
Laramie Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 OMG! I loved Midnight! It should've had another part, though. They should've condensed the Sontaran pair into one and given this one another one, with it running around the thingy where Donna was. Quote
OnyxAngel Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 I have really loved the last 3 episodes and can't wait for the finale it looks great! Yeah I agree DWMG Midnight should have been a 2 parter Quote
angelofboox Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 I thought the premise was really good but the second half of the episode seemed very compressed and...somewhat anti-climactic (?) in comparison to most Dr Who episodes. I thought the boy was cute. On researching him I have decided I am not secretly in love with him. *shifty* Quote
