A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
And Debet, one of my favorite moments in the series is the Doctor freaking the fuck out of the Daleks by telling them he has no idea what he's going to do, that is how pissed off he is.
LOVE all the themes at work in this season, and this moment was a confluence of several: Protecting Family, What You Do When There's Nothing Left, The Difference (and similarity. Who is the Big Bad Wolf, really?) Between The Doctor and, well, I guess, The Daleks counts as a theme by this point, and How Different the Doctor Is From What He Has Ever Been Before (he would have had a plan, which he would have largely executed on his own)
The contast between Rose/Rose's Mom/Mickey and Rose/The Doctor/Jack, and the different versions of protecting Rose. Rose's Mom takes a supremely passive view, while the Doctor's, while not always super-active, does have an active plan behind it. Okay, maybe not a plan, but, at least A Way.

Everyone died. Or something. Pretty much.
JenP,
they should get their own SciFi Original Movie.
Hee.
Except, apparently not.
More, it's that I want to know...exactly what it was he thought he had to do that caused the death of what he thought were all the Daleks, and, I assume, the Time Lords. What got them to that place?
And how is it that they're all dead, in all times, or whatever?
PC, I wholeheartedly agree with:
I realized that I didn't really have a clue where the episode was going, and I liked that.
A big weakness for me in Ep 2.7 was that
as soon as Rose got sucked, it was obvious that the Wire would be defeated and everyone would be restored. This time around we've had one senseless death already and who knows how many others in the pipeline. And that's much better. I agree that this ep revived my enthusiasm for the series.
One thing I love about the Tenth Doctor is
his bubbly enthusiasm for the human race. Also the way he has apologised to various victims.
In 2.8, did the music in the
scene where demon-writing!guy was outside and broke the window remind anyone else of Firefly?
One other thing I loved was
the security guy reciting poetry. The fact there was no comment or attribution really sold the moment, I thought.
Oh, I have a question. Have we (by we, I mean the Doctor Who audience) ever seen a companion die in the course of the show?
At least two companions have died, Katarina, and Adric.
P-C,
I would totally watch that
!
Anne, someone mentioned noticig the same thing about the music upthread. I have to rewatch to see if I catch it.

Yes! I loved the
OK, I'm going to hug you now bit with the interim captain. So fun
.
One thing I love about the Tenth Doctor is
Is he so different from the Ninth Doctor in that aspect? Nine shared that sentiment pretty highly, from what I recall. Perhaps not so ebulliently, though.
Anne, I really liked that moment too.
