thought the doctor would regenerate into the new doctor as the 11th doctor but it too late now because he kept his body to not regenerate so he will die when he is the 12th doctor not the 13th doctor I m sorry beside david morrisey will not played the 11th doctor in the next doctor christmas

2008-07-01T01:25:00.000+01:00

"I'm calling Donna becomes the Tardis as of right now. Not as in Rose looks into the Tardis and becomes bad wolf, but that the timey wimey stuff in the tardis' heart IS Donna in some form, and she gets sent back to the creation of the Tardis or replaces the Tardis' heart somehow."

Why does that not create a paradox, then?

I'm calling Donna becomes the Tardis as of right now. Not as in Rose looks into the Tardis and becomes bad wolf, but that the timey wimey stuff in the tardis' heart IS Donna in some form, and she gets sent back to the creation of the Tardis or replaces the Tardis' heart somehow.

I'm going off of the fact that donna wants to travel with the doctor forever, plus the "you're something new" comment. PLUS Rose telling Donna that they had to have the two of them, Donna and the Doctor together.

I was not expecting this episode to come together ...

2008-07-01T00:09:00.000+01:00

I was not expecting this episode to come together so nicely, but fortunately I was pleasantly surprised. With the whole time team of past companions coming into play in the ultimate Dalek show down you might have guessed that I was expecting it to be a tid bit overdone, or maybe at least crowded? However, I can happily state that it was neither those two things.
When I first heard how many characters RTD was planning on stirring into the finale I thought that it would never work out. I was actually a little bit disappointed that the last episode aired until 2010 would be a blowout 60 minutes consisting of all the main characters having a serious talk about the the end of the universe and a whole bunch of crying. Oh, and throw in some Daleks and good old fashioned exterminations for dramatic affect. I can't believe how totally wrong I was. What I was expecting is no where near the conclusion I came to after watching "The Stolen Earth."
The tone was just right. Not too soap opera, yet still it came through as a grave episode. The way they introduced each companion and what they were doing separately all over the world instead of just having one chance "I was never expecting to find you here!" meeting was brilliant also. And finally, the Doctor's and Rose's reunion was exactly what it should have been. RTD gave it the right feeling without getting too sappy. Although I sort of wish they could have at least had a conversation before he, well, died, you know, in the time lord way. Or is he regenerating into a new doctor? Can I just say: What a cliffhanger!?
So, long comment short, I think the episode was put together very nicely. I was pleasantly surprised.

:) EXTERMINATE!

"(the smallest ones) would've been immediately ripped apart by tidal forces being at such close proximity to giant planets."

the doctor said they were all in perfect balance

Yeah, the Doctor's been wrong before, hasn't he? :)

Yes, they might be in balance, but to get to balance you need to move them farther apart. Like, Earth for example: we do have tides from the Sun, not just the Moon, but they're very weak, because the Sun is so far away.

And, btw they really set the record in this episode with how much science they got wrong! If they have science consultants, they're terrible!

But hey, it's all Dalek technology and it works :) so I just close my eyes to all that and enjoy the story!

did anyone else pick up that, when the donna heartbeat thing happened when the lady talked to her she said "there was something on your back, YOU ARE SOMETHING NEW" and when Donna came back to reality in Turn Left the fortune teller said "you're too strong... what will you become" so maybe that beetle has made donna become something else but she doesnt know it?

@chris
"How exactly can you open a FOB ring though? I mean, the FOB watch was opened to release the timelord essence back into the human form, but not really much you can do with a ring?!"
Easy it has a hinge on it and flips up.Didn't you ever see a movie or show where the bad guy drugs someones drink and has a ring that opens up and they dump some powder in someones glass?
I noticed she does have a big ring on,and they have different sonic devices(screwdriver,lipstick and pen)plus the Masters laser screwdriver,so why not a F.O.B. Ring?Plus at the end of LOTTL someone picked up Masters ring(I think it was Harriet) maybe he was saved to his ring?I don't think Donna is the Master,but a Time Lady.

2008-06-30T08:27:00.000+01:00

This is rather out there, but I was pondering earlier and thought that perhaps the death of the Doctor's "most faithful companion" turns out to be the death of himself (as in, he regenerates and "splits" or whatever and one of him dies)... after all, when everyone else "withers and dies," all he has left is himself. :P

Yeah, crazy... and I dunno if that would make for a good story or not, but... thoughts?

2008-06-30T08:25:00.000+01:00

One thing that struck me as odd was that the Supreme Dalek called Dalek Caan "the Abomination". The Dalek Emperor (or his daleks, cannot remember who actually spoke) in The Parting of the Ways called Rose the same thing when she returned to kill them. Clearly there is no link, but a a bit weird for RTD to use that twice.

Me too.

2008-06-30T08:06:00.001+01:00

How exactly can you open a FOB ring though? I mean, the FOB watch was opened to release the timelord essence back into the human form, but not really much you can do with a ring?!

Definitely something going to happen with Donna. And I cannot believe they had just about everyone in this episode but not K9!

2008-06-30T05:55:00.000+01:00

Hey guys! Im gonna throw something out their! The big thing is that someone is going to die. dalek caan said it was gonna be his most loyal companion. And who has been with him from the beginning? The Tardis of course! Maybe it is just my hope that none of the cast really dies but do i sound crazy or is this plausible?

2008-06-30T04:41:00.000+01:00

wasn't it implied in last year's finale that regenerating was optional? the master chose not to regenerate in the face of death...so why is it seemingly involuntary now?

the hand that was cut off was the right (if i remember correctly) but the dalek blast caught him on the left side

what does all of it mean?

not a freakin' clue

2008-06-30T00:54:00.000+01:00

completely random comment... but wasnt it so nice to see ten smile a proper true happy smile! (even if it did get cut short...).

However my cruel mind has now thought that RTD has the perfect get out clause for not giving rose/ten closure ... as a "new" ten (if the botched regenration happens) will he still have those same feelings for her that he has had before ... or will he (finally) be able to move on? That WOULD be the best thing as far as wiping the slate clean for moffat .. but seems a little unfair... mmm

2008-06-30T00:24:00.000+01:00

That and the "sound of drums" tempo is a fairly common tempo. It's a very standard, even-paced four-beat rhythm.

2008-06-29T23:00:00.000+01:00

@n.t.
If you are correct and she is on the Doctors side then I still don't think she is dead.They will take her prisoner and maybe turn her into a Dalek.Maybe that is where all the Harriet as the Supreme Dalek rumors came from?I still think she is working with/for the Master.

mygod, even though ive already thought of 63456754567898765678 different ways to kill russel t davies and my tv is still recovering from me yelling / swearing at it for 5 minutes solid after last nights episode;that was a bloody good episode and the edning although painful, it was also excellent.

now we got that crap out of the way, onto next week's epidsode theories.

i totally think all the previous theories mentioned are plausible but realisticly we're not gonna find out 'til next week.
HOWEVER there is abook called journey's end.....could this hint to the plot...or could it be a coincidence and im going crazy. probably the latter. typre journeys end in to wikipedia to find out more.

laters,

p.s. wtf was all this darkness s**t about, was it just the darleks or is there yet anotherbucket of shizz coming our way?

@vawhovian -

"I haven't seen this posted yet, but didn't the Doctor say that they were "one second into the future" when they were sailing through the Medusa Cascade to earth? Wouldn't that have some significance to the regeneration?"

Holy crap, you might be on to something!

@nancy -

"I noticed the subwave of henriete jones was sponsored by the cooper foundation (cooper foundation another word for dalek? dalek are made of cooper?"

Copper, not cooper - and Daleks are made of Dalekanium! Mr. Copper was a character in Voyage of the Damned. (But you knew that.)

@combom -

"the doctor isnt regenerating, hes been tagged by a dalek and is being teleported onto the crucible."

What?
