Doctor Who Discussion Thread

The final battle will involve Fisher Price.

Oh yeah. I forgot that Amy didn't recognize the Daleks.

In the BBC America commercials for Doctor Who on its Series Five premiere, sponsored by BMW, Steven Moffat stated, "There is something that intrigues The Doctor about Amy and the cracks in the walls and he knows something's just not quite right about Amy."

Do you suppose that's the memory loss, or are we going to experience something Donna Noble-adjacent.


Also:

In "Victory of the Daleks" the TARDIS de-materialises, revealing a crack in the wall. When the TARDIS scanners reveal the presence of the Dalek craft behind the Moon, the small shape representing the mothership distorts into the same crack, and then back again in a few seconds.

Didn't see THOSE, did you Petros? :P



I think there might be something more subtle going on as well. In Season Four, right the way up to the episode "Turn Left", every time the characters went left down a corridor or something, they hit disaster: several times they had to back track and go right - like in the "Silence in the Library" arc. Also, the ATMOS satnavs kept barking at people to "Turn Left".

No I didn't see them, and that's exactly my point though. That's the way it should be, little subtle hints and nods, when you've got something like that, why have the blatantly obvious pointed out too? It just makes it more annoying because it's like they're saying "Duuuh... incase you didn't see it when we did it the clever way, we're going to shove it on your face so you get it"

I think there is going to be a revision of the "story arc" motifs we've been seeing.

Look at all of the scripts Moffy has produced over the last five years: All of them revolve around subtle phrases, misdirection, and subversion of our expectations.

Take "4022 saved", for an obvious instance. I think what we think we're seeing is not what it appears to be.

 

[Ellie]

Can't wait for tonight ;o

 

[Ellie]

Massively impressed so far. Plus, :fap:

 

[Incognitus]

Hmph!

Some of us had to work!

(The cliffhanger resolution was obvious though!)

I did some messing around with anagram solvers.

Only two interesting possible coincidences:


http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Susan

Susan English Foreman is an anagram of "A shameful sinner, Song"




Russel T. Davis is an anagram of "Tardis Vessul"

 

[Ellie]

Hmm. If none of the past actually happened, then there's a chance they'll bring back Rose (boo), Martha (boo), and Tate (yay) again.

 

[Incognitus]

I think Amy is very important in an "Adelaide Brooke" kinda way, and was supposed to marry either "Delete-your-internet-history" Jeff or Rory... but the fact that The Doctor crash-landed in her back garden has dramatically changed the course of history leading to DISASTER!!!!!

(You don't suppose Amy could be one of River Song's ancestors? :haha: )

!!!!

It takes all the horror out of the Weeping Angels when they do the Macarena!

 

[Petros]

One of the more fun internet rumours going around is that Flesh and Stone had two Doctors in it. Remember when he tells Amy that he'll be back then walks off his voice growing distant. There's a few seconds when suddenly he returns, he's also wearing the jacket and is more comforting telling Amy that she has to start trusting him. Interesting no?

 

[Incognitus]

I assumed that was just a continuity error.

If not, then that's BRILLIANT. Especially seeing as we've now established that there is something about Amy, and the Doctor has to "fix" her. Fix her good and proper.

i'm very interested in why the doctor looked pleased that time can be re-written ;O

Just as long as he doesn't start carping on about the bloody Time War again...
