Ulysses Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I thought it was a enjoyable episode actually bits of it did remind me of Impossible planet but other than that it was good, also nice to see this mr saxon thing building up as well!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antilles Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Yes it was rather a good story, very Alien, very Event Horizon (in location at least). It was fast paced and exciting enough to keep me awake LOL But the good story (and effects) aside it was the underlying Mister Saxon storyline thats got the hard fans drooling. To be honest I didnt think wed see any links to the story arc this week but we did and it was excellent, very Men In Black and mysterious, sinister too. We just know this Mister Saxon aint a good guy! And of course next week, the Scarecrow story, i just love creepy lookin scarecrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Typical good episode. It did seem a lot like Impossible Planet, I guess that's why it was just rather ordinary. I wish they'd change the formula up some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalith Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 yeah gotta admit the trailer for next weeks looks great. 42 reminded me a lot of Planet of Evil (Tom Baker) where they encounter the Antimatter creature in the furthest reaches of the universe. as i said tho i must have missed 15 minutes or so from near the end :( lol i am getting to old for all night parties lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorunNova Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 It could be just me, but it seems like they're drawing from the classic Doctor Who formula in this particular episode... not that it's a bad thing. ^^ I have to admit I'm pretty curious about who Mr. Saxon is... and what were they trying to do in the back there, trace the call? It makes me wonder if this Mr. Saxon's a time traveller... *visions of intense Mr. Saxon = The Master discussions in the future come to mind* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Satan's Pit....only better! ;D I just loved how the Doctor was so much more active in this episode - he acted heroicly (sp?). I also thought this was a good episode for Martha as she was a lot of good scenes in this for her. SFX were stunning! Always nice to see on Doctor Who. BUT the best bit of all had the be Mr Saxon's team! Oh that was cool. I love build ups like this and i can see it being somthing really special! And yes, next weeks looked superb as always!

Nawww The impossible planet & Satans Pit was one of the highlights of the last series, I did like lastnights but to say it was better than Satans Pit must mean TFMF must of been on the voddie lastnight lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 TFMF must of been on the voddie lastnight ::) Anyway, well i'm not sure. The Impossible Planet did have that "oh wow" scare factor, but 42 was just great...hmmm maybe i need to rewatch Satan's Pit/Impossible Planet.

Antilles Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Funny you should mention the Sea Devils Megalith, I was just looking at this picture... and for some reason the reminded me of them, perhaps its the string-vest, shabby shirt connection! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flicky1991 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 An OK-ish episode, not great. Most intersting part = Mr Saxon reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Yeah, I agree with all the Satan Pit/Impossible Planet references... but then, wasn't this from the same time period? I think it was probably just the claustrophobic environment and the fact we had someone with a voice similar to Satan's... for a little while I thought we were going to find out that the Beast had escaped or something. This one made the science in "Sunshine" look plausible though... as if your greatest concern when hurtling toward the sun is actually crashing into it. Still, not bad... it's always good to get a break from Earth. Even if it is only the inside of a spaceship... the Sun looked pretty cool though as did the WHITE LIGHT. Burn with me! Sounds like the name of a heavy metal song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
