1) blink 2) 42 3) daleks in manhattan Blink, as everyone said, was fantastic edge of your seat stuff. 42 also had good suspense and story. I loved the change of location in New York, the continuity of the surviving daleks, but I was disappointed in daleks pt 2, the "human dalek" was blah... and I did really like parts of utopia, derek jacobi was fantastic, but... Maybe I was spoiled so there wasn't much surprise. I'm liking the suspense eps this year I think. I was disappointed in the finale.

I don't know her comedic works, but I'll give her a chance. Martha kind of grew on me (although her immediate crush seemed kind of annoyingly schoolgirl).

bah. The Master was over the top, almost silly not scary. Gollum/Dobby Doctor was ridiculous. The Master dying in the doctor's arms... while I can appreciate that the Doctor's attitude towards the master may have skewed slightly since all the Time Lords were obliterated, all the lonliness in the world can't make up for the fact that this guy has tried to kill him umpty bazillion times, and the doctor has never been so fricking forgiving. If the Doctor could be the face of vengeance and wrath to the alien in School Days for merely enslaving one school, I can't see him being touchy-feely about the Master who enslaved the whole planet. But yay Martha and the kicking ass. Also Captain Jack.

ok, then, I'd been saving that ep so I could watch it with the last one back to back! I hate suspense! ;)

I thought the plot was somewhat lacking as well, but went with it because a) jack was back, and it was fabulous; b) liked the professor and his assistant; c) was looking forward to the master. the futureKind seemed like lame ripoff Reavers, the revived master was giddy not terribly evil seeming, more like a kid who's got away without detention. My thought on the master: He had used up his regenerations by dr 4's time, he stole a human body to use then, and from what the TV movie (treated as canon) showed us, he was still stealing human bodies, which would give him no ability to regenerate or need to hide as human. I'm a little fuzzy on how the tv movie ended him though... something about being trapped in the tardis? eye of harmony? was he released by rose? or.... What if this Master is an EARLIER incarnation? Pre-pertwee? Do we know how he used up his first 11 reincarnations? NO. I hope they don't glibly toss aside canon for convenience sake. The pocketwatch bit is contrived enough...

I thought sontaran too, but I like the new idea (for who) of alien mercenary/police. Sontarans would have been just about the annihalation.

I also wondered about the clothes, decided they'd rather martha be strange and out of place rather than be more careful. all in all it was a bit slow and the doctor was very foolish to get so close to the witch, I thought he'd learned about arrogance. However, new who is better than no who. I liked the first ep better.

hmm. nice try, but I think it has to be hardwired in, like the process of regeneration itself. Now, the Master has gotten around this several times by bodysnatching, but I think we can agree the Doctor shouldn't do that. I also thought the Time Lord offer of a whole new set of regenerations was kind of pat. I don't know why I wouldn't buy that in a show about regenerating time lords, but hey. I have zero desire to see Son of Who. I think there's plenty of other characters that could continue--Romana for instance. Susan. But for them to do any of that they'd have to reintroduce the time lords first.

well, it's gone now. I suspect someone sicced the lawyers on them. :/

it's been like that since the spring, I think... I was hoping there'd be more of a teaser up there by now.

apparently... but I like that theory. which book was it?

absolutely not necessary. If piper were to stay on, she should have stayed on, none of this spinoff business. Maybe she can do a guest on Torchwood or something.

interesting idea! nice bit of continuity if so.

I laughed. :)

that would be fabulous, but alas, I guess that whoever wrote the website was just being a bit of glib. Sigh.
