Doctor Who

Yeah her grandad was good but you've kind of got to dislike him a bit for killing the Doctor. The Doctor told him about "he will knock four times" on more than one occasion but then when he wanted to get out did he knock three times? No he did it four. Kind of like he was trying to kill him off;)
 
With Rassilon pulling everyone's strings I more felt sorry for the old man than hated him.

Been watching Voyage of the Damned this whole time.

You were right, I was thinking of the teleport sequence at the end for Astrid.
 
Don't get me wrong, I've never hated the guy. The fact that he took a gun with him to try and save the doctor but never used it says "what a nice guy to me". It was just one of those "did he really just do that?" moments. Does facepalm still work in the Doctor Who universe.
 
Yeah voyage is good. The joy of living here in England at this time of year is your get all the Christmas specials in quick succession so you're never short of your Doctor Who fix. I wish they'd show the other "special" episodes that Tennant did in his final year though. I've seen the Mars and Planet of the Dead episodes mentioned lately so maybe watch one of those for me.

I found that gloriously ironic, while emphasising that The Doctor really isn't master of his own destiny.

Btw, Bernard C was in the 1966 Peter Cushing film 'Daleks: Invasion Earth' which is a far greater crime against Dr Who. ;)

It tied in with the master's "rhythm" too i always thought. But it was excellent how they tied it all together with that last knock.

What was the episode with the space Titanic, where he met that gal but she died? (I think she sort of evaporated.) I was sad at that, I thought for sure that was going to be his next companion while I was watching it.

Thanks! Quite a backstory on her character on Wikipedia for that episode, guess I wasn't the only one expecting it.

Going to re-watch that episode today, not sure how I got her death so confused.

I have it crossed over with some trans dimensional being, obviously from another episode.

But yeah - her too!

Still hating Donna Noble after all these years. :p

PS - I know no Donna in this one, exactly why I'm looking forward to watching again. :D

Donna's granddad is in it
 
Being the reason 10 has to regenerate, I was a bit irritated at Wilfred.
It's like those times when someone tries to help and then buggers everything up :p
 
Oh, I was far more irritated by 10 being fatally injured, regeneration imminent, but still having time to do an extended last tour of all his old friends (and the lazy retcon with Martha and Mickey - Martha was engaged to Tom Ellis, you don't throw that aside just to fit Mickey in within the length of the episode!). Or indeed his regeneration not being triggered by the fall, which looked rather higher than the one which saw off Tom. I sometimes require more internal consistency than Russell does.

Actually I was fine with Wilf's little error. The Doctor had faced down Rassilon, saved the world, and then gave his life for one "unimportant"(*) individual. Not a heroic end in the Hollywood sense, but definitely so in the human one, and very much in character. And Wilf got himself into that situation saving someone else. No, no problems there.

(*) the point being that there are no unimportant people.
