I really like the eyepiece contains a picture of a Silent theory. That's a pretty ingenious way of resisting them.
Actually that makes a lot of sense.
The doctor has to die for the silence to be defeated
How did you reach that conclusion?
Magic.
But it was just speculation based on Shanadeus' spoiler.
I still don't get how one leads into the other.
I'm also really interested in seeing how Moffat justifies keeping the companions around next season given everything that's going down. I honestly feel like the answer to that question is significant in terms of the continued creative health of the show.
Rory and Donna are both among the better companions Dr Who as a whole has seen, even if Donna's send-off was awful.
In fact, Rory is arguably the best male companion since Jamie. (Turlough might qualify, too)
... Turlough? Seriously? he came across to me as an arrogant jerk most of the time.
I dont know what they thought they were accomplishing by interspacing M/F sex scenes with M/M sex scenes in last weeks torchwood. Other then totally confusing peoples boners (cause the woman is hot and im sure any gays watching the show wasnt interesting in seeing the woman).
In the recent trailer, anyone notice that @ 31 seconds in, there might be an appearance of one of Moffat's Clockwork Robots? I know the face is different, but the clockwork noise as it moves it's head is very distinguishable.

Be honest, if you were an actor and someone said "hey do you want to be in a GI Joe movie?", would you or would you not sign on sight unseen
being honest, i would not because i would be a picky bastard and i don't it for the money.
in other news, torchwood was much much better this week, murray gold still sucks though, what happend to his good stuff from the recent run of doctor who?
You know what they call people like that in Hollywood?
So, finally got around to watching the second episode of Torchwood on iPlayer. It didn't get any better.
Watch "Random Shoes" from torchwood. Its...different.
Yes, "Random Shoes" is gold. Also, "They Keep Killing Suzie" and "Small World" (the fairy episode) are quite nice. "Cyberwoman" is the worst. The season finale is also great.

Christopher Eccleston finally reveals more on his reasons for leaving the show:
“I left Doctor Who because I could not get along with the senior people. I left because of politics. I did not see eye-to-eye with them. I didn’t agree with the way things were being run. I didn’t like the culture that had grown up, around the series. So I left, I felt, over a principle.
“I thought to remain, which would have made me a lot of money and given me huge visibility, the price I would have had to pay was to eat a lot of shit. I’m not being funny about that. I didn’t want to do that and it comes to the art of it, in a way. I feel that if you run your career and– we are vulnerable as actors and we are constantly humiliating ourselves auditioning. But if you allow that to go on, on a grand scale you will lose whatever it is about you and it will be present in your work.
“If you allow your desire to be successful and visible and financially secure – if you allow that to make you throw shades on your parents, on your upbringing, then you’re knackered. You’ve got to keep something back, for yourself, because it’ll be present in your work. A purity or an idealism is essential or you’ll become– you’ve got to have standards, no matter how hard work that is. So it makes it a hard road, really.
“You know, it’s easy to find a job when you’ve got no morals, you’ve got nothing to be compromised, you can go, ‘Yeah, yeah. That doesn’t matter. That director can bully that prop man and I won’t say anything about it’. But then when that director comes to you and says ‘I think you should play it like this’ you’ve surely got to go ‘How can I respect you, when you behave like that?’
“So, that’s why I left. My face didn’t fit and I’m sure they were glad to see the back of me. The important thing is that I succeeded. It was a great part. I loved playing him. I loved connecting with that audience. Because I’ve always acted for adults and then suddenly you’re acting for children, who are far more tasteful; they will not be bullshitted. It’s either good, or it’s bad. They don’t schmooze at after-show parties, with cocktails.”
Sooo ... I finally caught up on all the episodes. Just watched "A good man goes to war" ... too bad I spoiled myself on the final twist a few days ago. Still was an awesome episode. But ...

The Silurians/Sea Devils have been on Earth for millennia. We've seen a few instances in the old series and the new where groups of them have awoken. Presumably there are other instances we haven't seen or have yet to see.
The Silurian in A Good Man Goes to War was not intended to be one we've seen before.

Ah .. makes sense. Espcially since the actress in A Good Man Goes to War is the same as in last years series ... that's why I got confused.

They recycle actors all the time though. Eve Myles even managed to go fom supporting cast on Who to main on Torchwood, assuming you consider that a step up...

Karen Gillan was part of the strange face-painted group in the Pompeii episode, the lass who played Martha was also in the Cyberman episode at the end of the previous series.
Away from principals, Doctor Who is a lot like Casualty - nearly every British actor will end up in at least a walk on part at some point.

Heck they even made it a plot point that Martha's 'cousin' (or was it sister?) was killed in the Canary Wharf incident so she was not really unaccustomed to this sort of thing in her life. Except, like so much on that season, this little factoid was immediately forgotten never to be heard from again...
You know, while Blink is a great episode, I wouldn't put it on a list of "episodes to watch to see if you like Doctor Who" on account of the fact it's really not a 'normal' DW episode. The Doctor barely even appears in it.

I'll give my opinion on what's good to watch for each season.
Stuff marked for continuity means someone/something introduced in it becomes relevant later. It's not always good but it's not always bad either.
Season 1:
Rose
The End of the World (for continuity)
Dalek
The Long Game (for continuity)
The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances
Bad Wolf/The Parting of Ways
The Christmas Invasion
Season 2:
New Earth
School Reunion (for backwards continuity)
The Girl in the Fireplace
Rise of the Cybermen/The Age of Steel (for continuity)
The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit
Army of Ghosts/Doomsday
The Runaway Bride (for continuity)
Season 3:
Smith and Jones
Gridlock (for continuity)
Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks (for continuity)
Human Nature/The Family of Blood (for continuity)
Blink
Utopia/The Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords
Season 4:
Partners in Crime
Planet of the Ood (for continuity)
The Sontaran Stratagem/The Poison Sky
Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead (for continuity)
The Stolen Earth/Journey's End
The Waters of Mars
The End of Time
The Idiot's Lantern (S2), The Lazarus Experiment (S3), 42 (S3), Voyage of the Damned (S3), The Fires of Pompeii (S4), The Doctor's Daughter (S4), Midnight (S4) and Turn Left (S4) are all fairly middle-of-the-road standalone episodes that aren't awful or amazing. Watch or skip at your leisure.
...and of course, as always, Kill Hitler.

You got the Random Shoes and Cyberwoman part backwards. Actually, I hated Small World, and like Countrycide instead. Cyberwoman and the season finale are among the finest pieces of television ever created. Cherish them.

I've seen the third episode and it doesn't get any better.
Instead there are two sex scenes that come out of pretty much nowhere.
I dont know what they thought they were accomplishing by interspacing M/F sex scenes with M/M sex scenes in last weeks torchwood. Other then totally confusing peoples boners (cause the woman is hot and im sure any gays watching the show wasnt interesting in seeing the woman).
I think he's going to reuse them:)
only the ones who dont give 110%.

Stevan Moffat is officially the architech of evil.
It included Blink and the like. . .sort of stand-alone episodes.
He lives off the fear of small children.
Why I fear the ocean.
I have seen interpretations of it ranging from "Eccleston was overworked beyond imagination" to "Eccleston didn't like working for a gay guy".
I thought for sure that she made a reference to her dead sister...
The problem anyone has with RTD isn't that he's gay.

OOh lemme guess! Is it because his writing is completely uninspired?
