Armageddon = Complete waste of MY time.

As to Apophis and 2036, let me just say that ....The end is nigh! So why don't we party like it's 1999?

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 was hoping for at least a Doctor's Daughter type ending where she recovers (don't much care how).

Looking at the potential Tochwood lineup with Ianto, Gwen, Mickey and Martha, I am still undecided on how this will play...(needs more Owen me thinks).

I do have to admit though, that the times I did go, there were very few people waiting. And not being closer to the strip was likely also a disadvantage to get the casual tourist to go there.

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).

Of course we may get to see Hong Kong transplant Edison Chen in The Dark Knight, but for anyone who is up on Hong Kong news, then you have likely seen far too much of him already. ;)

I remember being freaked out by both films at the time and retreating back into the re-releases of Star Wars later that year. ;)

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.

Perhaps I only felt that way because of the overall slow pacing of this season in general.

I also felt the ending was too Planet of the Apes-esq for my liking, but it does beat a 1980s earth and ties in with the "it's all happened before" theme of the show. For a moment I was wondering if they were lost and ended up on old Caprica.

The main thing that irks me is them calling this a 'mid-season' finale while we have to wait a year. Just call next season 'Season 5'.

But does this mean from here on out he is gonna be a snappin' doctor?

Given what we see in the finale I am just interested to see how they explain (replace) all that burnt flesh and hair. Cosmetics can only do so much.

Am I wrong in thinking that this has never been released on any of his DVD collections? (I assume it is still a Disney property).

Spoilers:

I did not have a problem with the ending in the spaceship. She asked for a wish (as a reward) and it was granted...unfortunately for her she couldn't handle it with her puny human brain. Indy even warned her about being careful what you wish for....

I did not like the ending shot however with Shia just standing in there combing his hair while credits roll....I felt it was a weak way to exit the narrative.

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?

@beelzebuddha: Long hours with Zork and Hitchhikers Guide...oh man I'm old.

So this kid is special why? Because of his daddy or becasue of his Midichlorian count???

I am intrigued about River Song a bit, but I found the Doctor's reactions to her a bit odd. (like his reaction to her Sonic Gun...which was quite different from the reaction to the same gun Captain Jack had.) Also I hope this is not a diversion from his past (Time War). Now we have a big mystery in both directions. Let's clear one up a bit more before starting down another road.

@Chuck Lawson: Agreed, Coupling was a great show and I think a combination would work nicely, but much will depend on who the new Doctor is. For me Coupling wasn't the same after Jeff (Richard Coyle) left.

As to the rumors of the Lizard, I hope so as he was the first villian of the first Spidey comic I ever read, so I have a fondness for him as enemies go. That being said, I am not sure he would make for a very dynamic villian after the last threesome of Spidey 3. But maybe another 3 way of classics, like Lizard, Electro and Vulture.

A female transformer? ummm...Why?

I don't really recall any robot on robot action in the toons.

Give me some freakin Dino-bots! ;)

Having just recently watched Doomsday and with the Fallout 3 game a few months away it seems like the PostApoc genre is on the agenda, so I might as well give this one a go as well.

@ngallion: That is true. What this tells me though, is that people wanted to see it depsite the mixed reviews it was getting. But I guess the real point of decision as to if people really like it or not will be the DVD revenue when that comes around.

Well, for all the Indy haters out there, that was a $311 million dollar 'mistake' so far (globaly) . So it seems the world does not agree...

@Angryrider: Ummm, no. I live in an Asian village and none of the girls look like that....

@robbie158: Seconded, I was hoping Sallah might show up at some point....and was really hoping for Short Round too...but despite both Ark and Crusade references, they seem to want to disown Temple of Doom.

oh, wait....

Having just re-watched all 3 films earlier this week, I was glad that this story did have a sci-fi twist to break away from the 'religious/magic' angle of the last 3 films. I liked the references (like Atomic Cafe) and the bit of fan service they put in for people who watched the Young Indy TV series.

The thing that really seemed odd was the very end, the camera just hangs there for a while and credits roll...seemed like they really did not have a solid way to go out.
