I'm so bored by the new series that I've stopped watching it altogether. I caught the 2nd half of last weeks episode and I just thought LAAAAAME. It just doesn't do the old episodes justice.

That Satan was pretty cool.
The two parter was mostly a dissapointment. It wasn't a "real" planet, more of an asteroid. The cool thing about alien planets in the old doctor who is that you got to see an idea of a whole new culture in their homeworld. That was just a bunch of humans their Ctuhlu look alike slave aliens.

Come to think of it, how do Daleks eat? They have biological compnents after all. As do Cybermen, for that matter.

You don't need to physically eat to be nourished.

OK the fact that people are now discussing potential eating habits of baddies in Dr Who concerns me.

Dalek...? Bread? Additionally, I also laughed when Kay's character said 'avante'. |

That Satan was pretty cool. The two parter was mostly a dissapointment. It wasn't a "real" planet, more of an asteroid. Tell that to Mercury. I thought it was an excellent alien planet -- it actually felt alien, not like a quarry just outside Slough on a drizzly Thursday. Even though, you know, it probably was a quarry just outside Slough on a drizzly Thursday. Forgive me for being so blunt, but there's an emoticon for that: "  " You're well within your rights to use it -- but I think you're being a bit naive. I wasn't the one who ended the episode on an oral sex gag! |

When Elton said that he and Ursula have some kind of love life now... does that mean he has oral with the talking pavement slab???

Yes. Precisely that. I have no idea how that even works.

It's a talking paving slab.
I believe the exact details on how it gives oral sex are a bit extraneous.

Overall the series isn't leading anywhere. THe last series had the Bad Wolf thing.. Series isn't leading anywhere? So, the fact we have a spin off called 'Torchwood', and about a dozen references to 'Torchwood' couldn't possibly mean there's a connection could there? As in leading to something.. |

Maybe these latest episodes are the calm before the storm?
Like they keep things low and simple so that the final episodes hit harder and really blow the audience away.
I do agree that emotions between episodes do seem a little disjointed, but maybe we are meant to assume that there are spaces between episodes where things happen that we don't see. Like by the time the next episode comes around events have already happened to help Rose or whoever get over an emotion from the previous episode.
All of the episodes entertain me there is no denying that, but none of them blow me away. Girl In The Fireplace was rather good though.

We have the Torchwood refs, but they don't really seem to be building to anything. The organisation doesn't seem to be doing anything really.
I think S2 would be more interesting if Rose had departed at the end of Age Of Steel instead of Mickey, and it'd been Mickey continuing with the Doctor & getting focus. That'd kick the status quo up the arse and be generally interesting.

We've learnt that somehow Torchwood has files on aliens, The Doctor, Rose, and they even have some aliens of their own, otherwise The Ood wouldn't have been there, probably some more stuff we've learnt, but I'm late for college..

Elton, Ursula and the Doctor are very sick people. The Doctor, for bringing Ursula back as a concrete slab. Ursula, for not wishing she were dead after becoming a concrete slab. And Elton, well...
I thought it was funny seeing the Abzorboloff chasing Elton. I mean come on! Fat, ugly, sweaty, mostly naked freak running around like that, hilarious!

Speaking of Torchwood and Bad Wolf, what was with the Bad Wolf virus that eliminated data on Rose?
I mean, disintigrating Daleks, fine. But eliminating data she knew nothing about?
Maybe the virus the Doctor gives Mickey in World War 3 happened to be called Bad Wolf - but you'd expect them to have made reference to that in the build up last season.
And on the subject of said build up, aside from Bad Wolf being all over the place it wasn't really leading anywhere until episode before the finale 2-parter when the Doctor and Rose (with a bit of hammy acting on Billie's part) realise that Bad Wolf has been all over the place.
I hope they leave the Torchwood thing until the finale though, don't see where it could possibly fit in next week's.
Also, if they don't include Take on Me as a theme in the background, i'll be very disappointed.
