Weeping angels were a Moffat monster since the start, he created them.

And as the creator, he destroyed them. Which makes it worse. Sure, I died a little when he ruined the Daleks - and then later in his defence said that the Daleks were merely 'props' (no Moffat. A Monster is a character, and should be treated with just as much respect), but I have no idea how one can completely miss the point of their own creation....

Re: The Doctor Who Discussion thread(SPOILER ALERT!)

I know..

I mean, when I first saw the weeping angels, I had this idea that they were these.. Strange.. Horrifying phantoms when you weren't looking, but to know they just look the same but move kinda sucks.

And I agree, The Doctor Dances/The Empty Child were brilliant. But even that annoyed me, I mean, welding together a fence with sonic waves?? mini/confused

Re: The Doctor Who Discussion thread(SPOILER ALERT!)

Just watched the trailer for the new series. It looks OK, but then again, almost ANYTHING looks good in a trailer...

Anyway, many people in the comments pointed out this:

Is that David Tennant within the old TARDIS? Because the new one looks like this (there are more pictures you can scroll through at the side), and its definitely not Rory because Rory does not have sideburns (and from what I can see he hasn't grown them since last series)

Lazy editing? Or does this mean something...

Re: The Doctor Who Discussion thread(SPOILER ALERT!)

The trailer looks more like a trailer for an epic movie.
Maybe the old doctor is in it cause the current one was going back to save himself from that voice that claimed it had killed thousands of timelords??? mini/confused

Re: The Doctor Who Discussion thread(SPOILER ALERT!)

Woah.

WOAH.

BEST. DOCTOR WHO TRAILER. EVER.

If that is Tennant, then this is going to be fantastic...

And we don't even have to wait much longer!!!!!!!!

Re: The Doctor Who Discussion thread(SPOILER ALERT!)

Actually, looking closer at the controls and the thing that goes up and down, it does look a bit like the new TARDIS. And that looks like Rory's nose. Doesn't really make much difference, it still looks good

Tricky tricky Moffat.

It is Rory because he wears the same clothes as he does earlier on in the trailer

Re: The Doctor Who Discussion thread(SPOILER ALERT!)

Yeah I just realised it's Rory. mini/confused

Meh.

Ah well, still gonna be epic.

Re: The Doctor Who Discussion thread(SPOILER ALERT!)

But what are they doing in the old Tardis? Unless its recently grown those spinny-pillar-things that were not there last series...

My favourite comment for the trailer is:

Hasn't the Doctor already had like 5 darkest hours?

I love it when people point out the writing flaws for me...

Oh, and the guy who says "Fear me: I've killed hundreds of time lords" sounds almost bored, and the line is so un-threatening that the Doctors Response isn't the slightest bit intimidating either. Its just a bland exchange that makes me cringe every time I watch it.

But, other than these minor nitpicks, I actually kinda look forward to the new Series - and will do my best to go into it with a fresh view. I never walk into anything wanting it to suck, if anything, I really want to say that Moffat has improved greatly and has managed to re-capture the emotion and excitement that was was in his previous works and that they have finally given Matt Smiths Doctor an interesting and defining character.

I rather liked that exchange. It would have been very easy to simply go for an over-the-top delivery on either part, but the restrained menace is much more interesting, in my opinion.

Can't wait for this season. 'Twill be the first that I've watched as they air.

Cancer sucks.
I'm excited for the new season!

The news genuinely shocked me. It was only recently she appeared in a series of The Sarah Jane Adventures (which, from what I saw, were pretty good - and I'm not just saying that), and 'Untimely' would be a bigger understatement than 'Caner Sucks'.

I was shocked too... also it was a whole spin-off with like 4 series. I don't know whether they will show the bits of the last series that they filmed.

Anyway, I saw another trailer (doctor who), focusing on the next episode. Wanna see?

Re: The Doctor Who Discussion thread(SPOILER ALERT!)

Well...

That was.. Interesting.

I watched the new episode "The Impossible Astronaut".

It was could be good, it could be bad, but that all depends on how they wrap it up in the next episode...

I'm sure I'm not the only one who was left thinking "What the heck?!" but still, hopefully the next episode will have a few of those "Oooh, THAT's what X was about" moments.

The monsters were awesome! Very well thought up, although their means of killing are a bit.. Meh worthy.

And I lol'd at seeing

Oh, and the

was soooo painfully obvious that I wanted to kick a midget.

Those spoiler tags are there for a reason. DO NOT highlight them unless you want to spoil the episode.

And no, I will not translate this post into Elmer Fudd speak.. It's too long for that..
