Thought I would set up a new thread for the latest Dr Who series which starts tonight on BBC1 at 6:20PM.

According to dictionary.com, one of the various meanings is:
'a report or account of a matter'
Therefore, yes your very brief version of the episode does constitute a story :P

The losers were the audience. RTD still think hes writing a soap opera, the BBC is still hiring actors but not requiring them to act, and production values are still on par with an episode of Neighbours from the 80s (maybe explains RTD's writing).
And the sad part is, alot of this wont get ackowledged because its Doctor Who. As long as its got the brand attached people wont care.

Does "Daleks are going to destroy reality, Donna flips a switch. The End" really constitute a story?

after last week i was a bit disappointed with the way that the daleks were defeated. or maybe just the way that they were humiliated. other than that, a great episode.
Apart from "everything" what didn't you like about the episode? David is still the Doctor, Donna is still alive and Rose has her man. Everyones a winner, except maybe Davros but I have a feeling he'll be back.

Need you ask? The nostalgia trip has firmly worn off now, I really dont have any interest in watching it anymore.

So what did you all think of the series finale?
Come on Garin, wasn't it the best Doctor Who episode you've ever seen?

Interesting to read all the news coverage. Alot seem to be convinced that David Tennant leaving seems to be a real possibility. Despite him claiming he'd signed up for the specials.
oooh. Tomorrow.
It all started because of the discs.
The Daleks in the comics back in the 70's had discs to fly on. Obviously the series didn't have the budget or means for convincing flying daleks and only managed hovering at the end of it's run in 89.
RTD remembered just what a response that got at the time and wanted to repeat it with the first Dalek story, but looks like he got a bit carried away with subsequent stories.
Still, we'll have a reset button special on Saturday, no doubt, then some specials next year (hopefully with guest writers) and the great Moffat can take over.

I agree, I don't mind them levitating, this makes sense for simple obstacles. But the way they're shown lately to be nimble and energetic in the air sucks!
