"As someone who remembers the old Davros and Sarah Jane/Tom Baker years and loves Torchwood, I did not mind all the fan service.
I do agree that Rose was a bit of a limp noodle this season and her presence unfairly overshadowed Donna's big finale.
I am seriously hoping they somehow go back and revisit Donna's character because ending up as she did (back at square one) seriously ticked me off."
"I enjoyed the episode if only just to see a bit more Torchwood (post season 2).
Rambo Rose seems to be acting out of character this season and my biggest questions is where is Mickey during all of this, since I don't think he would be letter her run off on her own without going with her.
I am also wondering if the Bad Wolf thing means she is somehow still connected to the Tardis (she seems much smarter about technology and time travel and such things from when we left her in season 2.
Wondering now if Donna has some connection to Romana or of the possibility that this whole thing is still a bug dream (that she never really woke up from the last episode, she only imagined she did)."
"I don't really see how China taking over Hong Kong and leading to a (minor) exodus of directors and stars to Hollywood has anything has much to do with an altered sci-fi landscape."
"Oh this movie takes me back...it reminds me of another film that came out the same year I think called 'Prophecy' about mutant bears (not to be confused with Christopher Walken's 'The Prophecy' trilogy).
I remember being freaked out by both films at the time and retreating back into the re-releases of Star Wars later that year."
"One of the reasons I think film adaptions of games don't work is that iconic characters for some of these newer titles now have voices associated with them.
In GoW for example John Dimaggio does the voice for Marcus Fenix, but he would never really be able to physically play the role...and likely someone who looks the part may not sound the part, etc.
It would be like trying to do a live action Simpsons...it would be like building the franchise from scratch and many fans would not like it because of that change."
"I liked the fact that we are seeing a doctor who does not even realize his own potential and we get to see that there are things even he doesn't understand.
But does this mean from here on out he is gonna be a snappin' doctor?"
"@moff: I always thought that was something people used at the horse track....
I do on occasion get white guilt from eating too much white chocolate.
But unseriously, if Bruce Banner kills people as the Hulk does he then have green guilt?"
