I think C is on the fence on this one! I think it will bring some of the newer viewers deeper in and encourage retracing steps to see how it all got to *that* point. ( Read more... )
I thought it was bloody awful. Towing the earth? Daleks once again defeated by a few button-presses, even though they were previously so dangerous defeating them cost the lives of all the other Timelords...
Martha is wooden as hell and annoying, she's had her go... I reckon they'll bring back his clone-daughter.
And they didn't even kill the annoying people off. Or, in fact, anyone... Whole thing was a massive, massive cop-out.
Like the regeneration. The idea is that the whole body is replaced to cheat death - he gets a new not-knackered body. Not, as they implied, that they heal the body _then_ change it. Total bunch of cockery. They made up a faux-cliffhanger and got out of it with a stupid "I'm magic, I can do anything" movement. Gah.
It wasn't that it was commercialised at all - it was just bollocks.
The "meant to die" thing was just Donna I think - in that he loses his companion by her losing the memories.
Davros is _always_ meant to die. And for some reason they keep bringing him back even though he is seen by the Daleks as impure.
RTD just cannot write sci-fi, and definitely can't write things that don't contradict his own fictional universe. It sucks balls that it's going to be two years until Steven Moffat takes over and makes it un-shit.
Also, how could they forget that The whole Medusa Cascade was half a second out of sync with the rest of the universe and simply dragging it back to it's previous position wouldn't fix it?
RTD wouldn't know science facts if they came up and bitch slapped him. Making characters that your average Joe on the street can bond with and love, he appears to excel at.
I STILL want them to bring back Sally Sparrow to be his new companion. SHe would be awesome. Also her boyfriend was a looser. :P
I had to go check your user info to see if you watched Trek or not, it's not listed as an interest, but after watching Voyager (and believe me while I was a TNG fan, I had to be forced to watch Voyager) the idea of being out of sync is a lot easier to swallow that a planet being towed

Maybe it was Davros that was meant to die? Or did they just mean the part of Donna that was 'doctor donna'?
I need to watch it again... I was having a hard time following with hubby and baby making noise!
I didnt follow half of what was said during the bit before they towed the earth...
