Here's a thread about Doctor Who Series 8 for TK if you like

The Saint said:
Haven't seen this week's yet -- got it downloaded an' all, just haven't got 'round to watching it -- why the hell haven't they got on to letting Danny Pinky girl in on the fact that his girlfriend is a time traveler?! Fuck's sake, why hasn't he figured it out for himself yet? Are we to believe that he's fuckin' stupid as well as unmanly?

He met Clara when when he was knee high to a tampon fuffuxakes!

Exactly why they are not feeling the need to explain why she loves him I gather, but at the same time they had to hit us over the head with who the doctor is, does Clara know him and who Vastra, Jenny and Strax are in episode 1.

I haven't watched last night's episode either. Probably will sometime today so I can skip the commercials.
 
Just watched it -- it was okay, and I'm glad they finally had Pink-boy get told who/what The Doctor really is, but they still need to knock it off with him being a damn wimp.
 
Clara is always quite hot.

One thing that bothered me, thinking back on it, about them finally telling Pinky-boy about time travel:

How the fuck did he not already know?! "Oh, right, I met you both when I was a tot!" 'Cause he did! Granted, he was a kid, but -- what? Did he have drink a big glass of Milk Of Amnesia between then and now?!
 
Because when you see someone who looks like someone you met when you were a child, you think "that person looks a bit like that person I met when I was a child" and not "THAT PERSON IS OBVIOUSLY A TIME TRAVELLER".
 
I'm pretty sure the Doctor said he did something to young Danny's mind so that he wouldn't remember that any of it happened in Listen.
 
OK I watched yesterday's episode finally! I actually enjoyed this one better than the ones prior so far. Pink manned up a little bit and we'll see how his character develops. Clara was even fun again like she was with the Matt Smith doctor.

Nah, I'd think the latter thing. I'm contrary and weird like that, though. :)
 
Good, plus Clara swore at the Doctor, only bloody though, with the post watershed conclusions I was half expecting her to tell him to fuck off.
 
It was a good idea for an episode but maybe not as well executed as it could have been? Like the part about should Clara press the button could have been better if there had been more thorough arguments. But in the end it was just luck really that not killing the creature didn't result in the Earth being destroyed. And then we only saw the creature for a second and then it layed another egg that looked exactly the same as the moon and was just as big(?) as the moon. So that was lucky too.

And also the science was really bad. I know it's Doctor Who and that the science isn't always important, but if the moon was an egg all along why did the gravity only change when it was about to hatch? (And I'm pretty sure all life on Earth would end if the moon disappeared, not that we'd just lose our internet or whatever Clara said.)

The scene with the Doctor and Clara at the end was very good.
 
Saw a documentary on this a few nights ago.

Without the moon there would be nothing from stopping the earth from tipping over, so the poles would be where the equator is now and visa versa, all the creatures that had adapted to living in the cold would die in the heat, and all the creatures that had adapted to living in the heat would die in the cold, plus all the ice at both poles would melt in very short order, raising the sea level all over the world by about 30 meters.

Some humans would probably survive, but life would be a struggle depending on where you live.
 
I liked the idea that the moon is an egg a lot, but they solved it all too easily, which is probably to be expected. ANYWAY, I did like it.
 
"A trader from Qarth once told me that dragons came from the moon," blond Doreah said as she warmed a towel over the fire. Jhiqui and Irri were of an age with Dany, Dothraki girls taken as slaves when Drogo destroyed their father's khalasar. Doreah was older, almost twenty. Magister Illyrio had found her in a pleasure house in Lys.

Silvery-wet hair tumbled across her eyes as Dany turned her head, curious. "The moon?"

"He told me the moon was an egg, Khaleesi," the Lysene girl said. "Once there were two moons in the sky, but one wandered too close to the sun and cracked from the heat. A thousand thousand dragons poured forth, and drank the fire of the sun. That is why dragons breathe flame. One day the other moon will kiss the sun too, and then it will crack and the dragons will return."

The two Dothraki girls giggled and laughed. "You are foolish strawhead slave," Irri said. "Moon is no egg. Moon is god, woman wife of sun. It is known."

"It is known," Jhiqui agreed.
 
I wish I knew what the forum was then I could visit it and make lots of mistakes and The Tomtrek would think "Ho Ho, that headvoid really is a funny japester"

Yes, I'm sure he would like that.
