Thought I would set up a new thread for the latest Dr Who series which starts tonight on BBC1 at 6:20PM.
What did you think of tonights episode?
What did you think of tonights episode?

Ah I think I understand now, well except the whole time locked thing but then to udnerstand it I'd have to be a timelord. :) It's like the clone war only much more interesting and I'd really like to know what happened. I wonder if we'll ever find out.
thanks pb.
thanks pb.

The Doctor uses the same code as the rest of the Timelords, not getting involved unless the fabric of time was under threat. The Doctor annoyed them though, because he tended to meddle far more. The Timelords were the keepers of time, that was their main role.

The Time War was 'time locked' (or at least, that's what the Doctor thinks) which means that it doesn't matter when it happened, it eradicated the Timelords and most of the Daleks from the whole of time.

If you kill the Doctor now it won't matter, as his past is still his past. It would be his future timeline that you'd be removing, so if, say, the 11th Doctor came to visit, that timeline would be eradicated.

So is this still our Davros then pb or could it be one from another universe?
I don't really know much about the Timelords, were they like the Doctor and would get involved when space and time were being messed around with?
Here's an example. I'm a timelord from 2006 and Davros is messing around big time in 2008 but the time war happened in 2007. Is it still possible for me to go and stop him or does anything the Timelords did beyond the war no longer happen.
Or if I was to kill the Doctor now, he'll still appear with Rose 5 billion years later on Platform One to watch the Earth finally be destroyed.

Very nice.

Come now, impending inevitable doom that promises to wipe out the Earth? How else will someone like RTD get around this? :P

My bet is that Ms Tate will become a Dalek, mainly going from what the lady said at the end of the episode just gone.

There's a rumour that one of them is Harriet Jones. But it's not from a very trustworthy source...

There's a rumour that one of them is Harriet Jones. But it's not from a very trustworthy source...

Very good. It was a simple idea but very well executed. One of the best RTD stories to date. Love the fact that they mentioned the fate of Torchwood's team, Sarah Jane and the kids too.

It was The Trickster, a character with no face from the Sarah Jane Adventures. At the end of Sarah Jane she met the trickster when trying to save herself and he mentions The Doctor and what fun it would be to see what would happen if he wasn't around, that leads directly in to this story.

Badwolf was Rose's warning to herself and to The Doctor, but then became more of a description of her. As Tennant says in Confidential it's like "the Batsignal".
Next week's promises to be great, but let's hope we don't get the usual RTD cop out of a big reset button at the end of the next one...

There's a new 10 sec trailer out for the next episode, just showing the new Daleks.
I think one of them is Dalek Caan.
