  3. Hello, new to all this, but I did notice that Passenger 57 was listed here. It was also a movie with Wesley Snipes from 1992. IIRC he is an agent of some govt agency on a flight that gets hijacked.

    Nice connection there i guess

  6. When was Grey mentioned? In the next time trailer? I must have missed that bit.

    It could of course be nothing to do with Doctor Who at all but there was a connection last year so...

    Oh! Speculating is fun!

  8. Yep the link was fine.. I also found a preview of the same episode where we learn that Gray is Jack's little brother...

    Interesting.

  9. gray is jack's brother -which he let go of in the war in the boeshane peninsula. check out the other trailer where he talks about it - its on the torchwood site under vids and behind the scnes on adam'

    ReplyDelete
  10. Yes that is true. However, since we now know that a Sergent Grey is appearing in episodes 4 and 5, I somehow doubt that it'll be the same Grey as Jack's brother.

  11. maybe red eye is what makes the oods eyes go red

    ReplyDelete
  12. Maybe Redeye is that big claw machine thing on the Planet of the Ood section!!

  13. Enid Blyton was a famous childrens author. She wrote the Famous Five, the Secret Seven and hundreds more that kept me going as I grew up

    ReplyDelete
  14. I think Red-Eye will be the name of a rebellious Ood, the one that leads the others against slavery!

    ReplyDelete
  15. The adipose we know, Foss street was where that marble guy lived, Major Domo was listed in the credits on the BBC site for episode two, and the Sibylline Orcacles and Spartacus are obvious. As for red Eye i think it is a disease or something from the ood episode, it is mentioned in the synopsis.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Spartacus is what the doctor and donna called themselves in the fires of pompei. Majordomo is in that episode too and so are the sibylline oracles.

    ReplyDelete
  17. where was major domo again? I don't remember him.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Red eye will be used in PotO. A review somwhere said that donna uses the noble corparation joke in here too and obviously the sense-Sphere will get a mention.

  19. I thought it was staal the undefeated. And the other one is called Skor.

    "The Red Widow?" Wasn't Lucy Saxon last seen in a red dress (with red painted nails)? Since the Master apparently died, she is a widow.

    Could "The Red Widow" be a missile? Military people somwtimes give big missiles names. This could be one of the.

    i reckon the red widow is a UNIT thing, they seem fond of colour names (operation bluesky, project indigo, code red etc.)

  32. I believe when Gary Russell made that list of references to S4, Tom McRae's script was still to be used, and neither Steven Moffatt's episodes nor the finale had been written. So the references we don't recognize are obviously from McCrae's script, and no longer valid. Despite the gushy comments RTD made about it, I doubt very seriously whether Steven Moffatt will use it for Series 5.

    Well, we still have the Christmas Special, which has Cybermen in it. If they come through as ghosts again, then the Doctor will probably say something like 'I'm the Spectre Inspectre', and SPOILERS AHEAD it seems there is someone in a red dress in the teaser for Special, most probably called Miss Hartigan . Mr Scholes is probably that guy on the teaser too. And who knows, one of the comfirmed ones might pop up again ;)
