Antilles Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 Sorry, couldnt make it back in time to unlock! Never mind! Quite a typical 2nd parter really, no great surprises, Martha seemed to take meeting her clone rather well I think, Id have been freaking out LOL. Donna just had one silly moment but it was quite funny, "Back o' the neck!" But THE funniest moment that had us reeling was when the Doctor had his gasmask on and asked "Are you my mummy?" Brilliant. Now it was REALLY quick on screen, but did anyone else notice Rose's face appear on the TARDIS monitor when Donna was in there on her own and in communication with the Sontaran ship? Is she trying to get through to the Doctor somehow? Next weeks looks great though, "Hello, Daddy!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 mmm this was watchable but this season is starting to disappoint abit I guess once the time war story comes in to play then thing will get a whole lot better, this story was weak in my mind....but there was some good one liners (classic one from doctor dances season 1).

TetsuoShima Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Ow, I missed the "mummy" thing. It was better than the 1st part, but still no highlight of creative story writing though. Next week, the doctor's daughter eh? Could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halmir Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the Valiant (flying aircraft carrier thingy) a plot blunder? As I recall from the Master as Harold Saxon, he said he designed it - but then when the paradox machine was removed from the tardis, I thought everything that the Master had done was removed and never happened? PS great episode, but I wonder if they'll write in loads of people on earth with nervous breakdowns - if I had to live through all the global catastrophes that have been visited on Earth of late, I'd be going barking mad also! (some say it's too late...!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amnot Borg Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Not everything was removed. The U.S. president died on that flying ship. But, the major stuff afterwards was changed. For instance, the death of billions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Yeah, I spotted Billie. I wonder how that's going to go... To be honest... I think that this could have been a single episode... it felt there was unnecessary toing and froing. Some nice action though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time only reverted back to the moment that the paradox machine was activated. The Valiant was in existence well before that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I didn't like this episode as much as last weeks. That damn American kid was beyond annoying - far more so than Donna's ever been. I also felt that the poison smoke was a bit...weak, in the end it didn't really do much. It was quite cool when the Valiant came down and started kicking ass, though. And of course - Billie Piper's split second appearence was quite cool. The Sontarans really weren't the best villian. They are small! :p And they just don't seem threatening. Now next weeks episode.....wow. O_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 The Sontarans really weren't the best villian. They are small! :p And they just don't seem threatening. Yet you fear Queen Spock... I think the problem with the Sontarans was - as the Doctor said - they were sneaking around and not being very warrior like... Also, their armour was pretty disappointing. You'd think that they'd have managed bullet proof if they can do interstellar travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Yet you fear Queen Spock... You haven't met her! O_O And yes, the problem was that they seemed all powerful in the beginning, but once you could fire at them, they fell like any human would.
