Doctor Who Series 8

I WANT MOLLY FLANDERS TO COME BACK

seeing Alex Kingston paired up with matt smith (my age) pushed all kinds of buttons with me
 
Only managed to watch the last two episodes today. I enjoyed them both. Clara was seriously good in the second and quite beautiful in the first. I'd like Skinner to turn up from time to time, a bit like Rory's dad did. Overall I'm still enjoying the series.
 
Yup.

Talking of mistrust, I had a horrible moment of suspicion when whats-her-face said "I chose you well" about Clara, and prayed "please don't let whats-her-face be an evil future incarnation of The Doctor, complete with "unique" dress sense!" :eek:

Oh god.

If she is, then Moffat can say "look, there's your female doctor, now shut the fuck up."

NO NO NO NO NO.

:mad:
 
Not sure if costume error, red herring, or deliberate, but the Doc was wearing a wedding ring for a while last night.

He wears it every episode. It's Capaldi's wedding ring and he refuses to take it off.

Edit: actually, he wears his own wedding ring 'under' the ring in DW. The DW ring is a specially moulded one there to hide his normal one, which he refuses to remove.
 
He wears it every episode. He wears it in every show he does apparently. It's Capaldi's wedding ring and he refuses to take it off.
really? that's... that's incredibly romantic and I love him for it - but having been an actor and being a teacher of acting... well it's quite shocking. There are lots of incredibly 'important' reasons related to what acting actually is as a process, that render that a very strange decision.

of course - he's an amazing actor, so that shows how much bloody Stanislavski knows (knew)... but it is shocking.

I edited to remove the bit about him doing it all the time. I read an article that suggested as much a few months ago, but I think they got it wrong. I just found an interview where he said he did it during Who because of the long, busy filming schedule, and he didn't want to lose it if he kept taking it off. Looking at pictures of him from other things, seems like he has taken it off before.

ahh, ok.
 
That was ace. Original, funny, bizarre, gripping, on the side of da kidz agasint the man and proper scary monsters as well. A whole generation of children are going traumatised by this for the rest of their lives = which is exactly how dr who should be. And the whole 'sounds like shes on the job' phone call to teacher boy was very cheeky and hilarious.
 
Effects people seemed to have had fun with the CG challenges thrown up by the concept. One of my favourite episodes so far this series.
Star Trek did the whole two dimensional aliens thing in an episode. They decided the best thing to do with the concept was to have counselor Troi lose her powers, cry for twenty minutes and chat to Whoopi Goldberg for a bit.
 
Post apocalypse who...

I don't know who played unpleasant asbo-supervisor-man but he was brilliant. I've seen him in other stuff before, he's really good and has a face like Admiral Adama, it's seen a hell of a lot of life.

I'm sure he was born with that weathered look, as I rememnber him looking just like that 30 years ago in Aufwiedersen Pet.
 
There was a bit in this where they said "Killer graffiti...I'll have to find a better name than that". Then at the end, the Doctor said something about naming them, but it was drowned out by the background music.

Did anyone catch what he called them?
