@jbq: Agreed. Where the heck is Martha... or Gwen Cooper for that matter, if you have Jack? I could understand it if they weren't going to be on Earth, what with Jack going all Hitchhiker's Guide and all, but they're going to be on Earth, int he UK... she should make a cameo too, like the last season end!
I know a lot of people are tired of Rose and don't like her. But I really liked her. She was inquisitive and up for any adventure and sort of a nobody, just a shop girl. I could really relate to that. If given the chance I would be right there dragging the Doctor through space and time to see every thing I could.
I didn't like Donna because she just seemed to whine too much.
SPOILER ALERT: Here's a recently updated list of who's supposed to be writing what during Season 5 of Doctor Who, along with a few highly spoilery episode titles.
Keep in mind, these are working titles only, and based solely on information found in a couple of actor's CV's.
@bluehinter: Oh, and for those keeping count, it looks like our TARDIS travel itinerary for next season is:
Present day Earth, alien planet with time monks, WWI with daleks, alien planet with weeping angels, 1580 Venice with vampires, ??? (possibly TARDIS-centric story), post global warming future with Silurians, 1880's with Van Gogh, ???, ??? (but likely present day Earth)
Looks like we're getting a pretty decent assortment next year, with lots of historical adventures and only a couple set during the present day.
@Kishi: Yeah, I'm not 100% sure how the Cybermen rumors got started.
It seems to be coming from a fellow with a hit and miss record when it comes to spoilers, but another individual (who generally knows far more than he's telling) said, "He's kind of right, but in some aspects WAY off."
That's led to much speculation that it may be Mondas Cybermen, Cybermen controlled by something else, or perhaps humans who are trying to use cyber-technology for their own ends.
@martin.blackmore: For a long time there were rumors that the second episode was one that took place entirely in the TARDIS, and concerned weird simian aliens that the Doctor had previously trapped, but broke loose during the TARDIS's "regeneration"
This now appears to be false, or perhaps shifted to a later slot in the season.
Waters of Mars was awesome, and it makes the wait for The End of Time even that much more unbearable. I am taking the stance of absolute hatred for the eleventh Doctor until I see the first episode because David Tennant is just so good. Hopefully his departure from Dr. Who will give him time to do other movies because the only one I recall seeing him in is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
@Makidian: Easter Island (Matt Smith) might not be so bad, but it will be hard to top DT's run. I have a lot of faith in Steven Moffat, so hopefully he saw something in Matt Smith the rest of us just haven't seen yet.
@Nicolarz: I think I hate his hair more than anything else
@shrynx: I went over to imdb after I posted this comment to see what he would be doing and saw this and looked it up. It sounds very promising but they must let him keep his accent, either hi natural or Who but if the American him up the show will fail.
@cooliehawk: I know can't wait to see what he does with it. Ever see Hamlet 2, that movie was fucking weird but funny.
I'm really annoyed by Ryan keeping his true lizard-y nature from his finance. He's putting her life in danger; she has the right to know. How does having no clue what's going on (including that she could be a target of the V and should be careful) protect her? If they find out about her not having a clue what's going on isn't going to stop the V from using her to get at Ryan.
I like the character of Ryan but it annoys me how anytime she asks questions he literally kisses her doubts away and tells her not to worry. She should be worried and she should have a say on whether or not she gets involved with any of it.
@RandomFrequentFlierDent: If the writers have a clue they will have Ryan's fiance get suspicious. In the real world if someone acted like he does it would be VERY suspicious.
R'sF: "What's this mysterious note left here on our mantle?"
R:"Mmmm kiss kiss look at the pretty butterfly.. mmmm"
R'sF: "But doesn't this mean someone WAS HERE IN OUR HOUSE?"
R: "These aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along"
R'sF: "Someone broke into our house! Doesn't that concern you?!"
R: "You are feeling sleepy. Very sleepy. Your eyelids are heavy. So heavy you cannot keep them open. When I clap you will awake refreshed and won't remember the mysterious note"
R'sF: "You'd better start explaining or I'm out of here"
R: "I'm a lizard"
R'sF: "That's it, I warned you." (storms out)
Sure, they LOOK human, and I can believe that one could infiltrate a government agency - fake blood tests and so - with little suspension of disbelief.
But that you could sleep with one and not know, that stretches my belief far too far.
[just to clarify...I just don't like the suggestion that they feel exactly the same as humans even during copulation]
@theblazeuk: I've been assuming they have some sort of jerry-rigged biological system to *ahem* simulate a human sexual response. Establishing intimate relationships with humans was part of the plan as Tudyk-V (I have no idea what the character's name is) was married to someone he obviously didn't care for as part of his cover.
I'm also hoping they don't give the V a mode of copulation similar to human (let alone making them biologically compatible). They are supposed to be aliens after all.
@RandomFrequentFlierDent: Oh, there's gonna be a hybrid V-Human baby. That was a pretty big plotpoint of the original, and I doubt they'll let it go. Who doesn't want to see a baby-V?
Can you really have evil people in Fringe? The story is about two universes trying to prevent their own side from being destroyed. It's not exactly a villainous cause. #lost
@mekki: Well said.... but I've always thought that someONE has caused this war, and that is what defines the evil, even though both sides view each other as an evil oponent.
Everything boils down to Walter.
WalterP(rime) stole WalterO(ther)U(niverse)'s son, and WalterOU is obviously pissed, so he starts a war to destroy WalterP's universe in order to get his son back.
right?
Kinda messes with the audience and I like it. #lost
@Tomb: R.O.A.C.H.: They probably cost so much for those first couple Who episodes the BBC wants them to keep using them, to get their money's worth. #lost
