I thought they overdid it with the flying bus.

"He will knock 4 times".

That could mean one of 3 things:

1. The Doctor is going to meet future self possibly?

2. The Master returns.

3. The previous 4 Doctors turn up for a party.

I thought it was win personally.

Reminded me of the magic bus childrens tv program they had a few years back =P.

I'm hedging my bets on the master returning.

Next special looks good though =)

Something tells me that Moffat has got a story in.

MLeo · « **Reply #223 on:** April 11, 2009, 06:07:21 PM »

I've been thinking it over, possibly "he will come knocking four times" could refer to the Master.
One knock at the end of season 3, and we still have 3 more specials to go this season, say the Master is in there in each special?

I was just looking on the Dr Who wiki site, and they seem pretty adament there that the 4 knocks thing is refering to the "Midnight Entity" seen at the back end of S4. I think it's more likely to be the return of the Master though. At the end of S3, after burning him, his ring was picked up by someone (also, apparently there are shots with Catherine Tate wearing a similar ring, and there were hints about a connection between her and the Master, so you never know!). Also read that there were rumours that Patrick Steward was approached about playing another renegade Time Lord, "The Monk"!

If Patrick said "Make it so" in who

It would make my century.

I heard he was approached for the 11th Doctor. If he's not 'The Monk', then i hold out hope for the 12th Doctor =P

There are Comparisons of Donna's ring and the masters, they are quite different.

Hmm Patrick in Who? That would be interesting.

Dalek · « **Reply #227 on:** April 12, 2009, 09:14:33 AM »

Yeah, the Masters ring has green inset with the Gallifreyan circle thingies. Donna's ring is a big diamond.

And if Patrick does "The Monk", then Marina Sirtis is "The Rani". I think she'd do it perfectly.

There is one thing that keeps nagging me about last nights episode...

Why did the Tritovore (sp) have to die? The Doctor could have taken them back to their homes in an instant after returning to Earth. And helping the Earth via a contract with the Tritovore for waste processing!

Vanguard · « **Reply #229 on:** April 12, 2009, 07:27:40 PM »

Because the wierd cyber stingray ate them, after he offered to take them with him =/, and he saw it, meaning if he went back and saved them afterward it would cause a paradox because he would see himself and then the galaxy would explode or something.

Anyway, i figured out something, i think The Master making a comeback is true, see:

(ignore the second part)

But, listen to the drum beat

Dum dum dum dum
dum dum dum dum

Then, in the episode "He will knock four times"

MLeo · « **Reply #230 on:** April 12, 2009, 07:37:36 PM »

I was refering to the writers, I mean, there was absolutely no point in letting them die. I mean, yes, we already got it that the swarm beings are terrible! No need to eat those two Tritovores as well, we got the point. (this is me yelling at the writers)

Vanguard · « **Reply #231 on:** April 13, 2009, 08:05:52 PM »

Well, i would of liked at least one of them to survive...

The commander was too stubborn though =(

I think it was to further emphasise the point he makes at the end, that everyone he knows and who trust him, invariably die.

Or run off in flying buses.

Lol, I have to agree, pretty poor this time.
And ripping of The Langoliers as far as the plot went.

Disappointing.

If the Doctor returned to the 1970's and the Time Vortex decided to have a slight change to fit the time period...would this suit?

The only time that the Time Vortex changes is during the direction that time travel is directed.

Past = Blue
Future = Red

I have a sneaking suspicion that 'Waters Of Mars' is intended as a sequel to Tom Baker's 'Pyramids Of Mars'.

Dalek · « **Reply #237 on:** May 02, 2009, 08:18:29 AM »

I never said it would change. I was just messing around and that Vortex bares some resembalance to Tom Baker's slit scan Vortex.

I also fail to see why the Waters of Mars would be a sequel to the Pyramids of Mars. From what we've seen, its like the episode with the Vashta Narada. The water is "alive". *werewolf howls*

I'm guessing no-one wants to see my movie version then?

Dalek · « **Reply #238 on:** May 29, 2009, 12:07:35 PM »

*wipes off a few layers of dust*

Gee, someone needs to clean up a bit. NEW INFORMATION!

New companion

10th Doctor appearing in spinoff.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8068435.stm

I'm liking her already.

Meanwhile, Doctor Who may be heading for the big screen after a spokeswoman for BBC Films confirmed that "a script is in development".

*Is happy* If only it were DT.
