A terrific video about Rose...

All the regeneration scenes..

Blink

I didn't like it at first but I did as I got into it.

It was a great change of pace episode.

I love how the very end bit is what brings the Doctor into it.

it was very taut and suspenseful. nicely done.

They decided to do these almost Doctorless episodes when the special Christmas episodes were added to the schedule btw.

Great episode. The Weeping Angels were probably the scariest aliens they've had on Who since the new series started.....

Listen, Blink is an episode that absolutely demands a commercial-free DVD viewing. I highly, highly suggest checking it out again without commercials. The tone and pacing is so tense, the difference versus Sci-Fi's version will blow you away. I absolutely adore Blink. Once again, Stephen Moffat (The Empty Child/Doctor Dances, Girl in the Fireplace) proves that everything he writes is pure fucking gold.

Next week, the first episode of a three-part season finale begins. I would stay away from any previews, mind you...

I've watched it five times now, and Utopia still fucking rocks...

Yeah, that was pretty goddamned awesome. I like how they pulled together elements from the past 3 years for this one story.

Utopia

This one was FUCKING BRILLIANT!!!

Loved the bit with the watch.

And Jack.



I will watch it again and tape it later!

What's truly cool is how, when the Professor is hearing voices, it's sound bytes from the past actors that have played The Master! I looooove the little details like that.

The Flight Controlled Tardis is now available for purchase. It makes all the Tardis noises, light up windows & the little lantern top. Doors open with light up interior-very cool. I picked up the interior playset a while back & while it was nice it was also really huge. This will fit on the bookshelf with the Doctor & companions!

Now they just need to get Chris Eccleston and Tom Baker to do voices in Tennant's head.

By the way, I loved seeing Jack say "Fantastic!"

I just love seeing Jack again, period!

It was funny when the Doctor kept telling Jack " NO!" every time Jack said hello to anyone.

And I did hear the voices of previous Masters' actors.

I wonder if that burnt out time gizmo on Jack's wrist will play a part in getting the three stranded time travelers back to the Tardis?

...here come the drums...

And, now I guess my previous avatar is finally understood...

I want that!!!

I always thought that was a pic of you with a nasty hangover... ?

I'm watching it again and recording it...

That would be so cool.

Profageus, is the master a past character? My Who Knowledge is limited to the last three years so to me he's new.

Yes ma'am, The Master first appeared back during the 3rd Doctor's era (David Tennant, the current Doc, is the 10th Doctor...if that gives you a bit of insight into how long The Master has been around). Like The Doctor, we don't know a lot about him. We don't know his real name, either. It has been suggested in the show that he calls himself "The Master" as some sort of taunt or stab at our hero calling himself "The Doctor".

In fact, the next episode will actually go more into detail about all of this than the series has in the past forty years. So, I won't say any more about it until you've seen it. However, below is a pic of all of The Master's on-screen incarnations (like all Time Lords, he has the ability to have at least 13 bodies during his lifetime, but we've only ever seen the ones below).


(In Order of Appearance)
(L. to R. - TOP - Roger Delgado, Peter Pratt, and Anthony Ainley
L. to R. -BOTTOM - Eric Roberts, Derek Jacobi, and John Simms)

Roger Delgado was the first and IMO, the best Master.

He first appeared during the Pertwee era ( 1970 - 1974 ) in 1971 in the episode called " Terror Of The Autons. " He allied himself with the Nestene, but later helps the Doctor thwart the materialization of the Nestene monster on Earth.

Roger Delgado died in a car wreck in 1973.

The crispy critter Master who appeared in an episode or two was supposed to be the Master in a failing regeneration. He appeared in the late 70's and in The Keeper Of Trakken.

Anthony Ainley took up the role in 1981, winding up on Trakken and taking over the body of Tremas ( Anagram of the word Master. ) to gain a 13 th regeneration.

Tremas was Nyssa's father. Nyssa was a companion to the 4 th and 5 th Doctors.

Anything after that, I am shakey on, but I do know that Eric Roberts played the Master in that fine 1996 movie starring McGann as the 8 th Doctor.

On an unrelated note, I just bought the 12" tall 10 th Doctor ( Tennant ) figure on Ebay. I was gonna buy the Sound effects Tardis, but I have a few Tardis's already and the figures that accompany it in the same scale are small - only 5".


I wanted the current Doctor to stand out on my shelf and at one foot tall, he certainly will.

My 12 inch tall 10 th Doctor Who figure ( David Tennant ) arrived yesterday; here is a pic of what it looks like:



It looks very realistic. Facial resemblance is uncanny. Figure comes with a sonic screw driver. Outfit is real cloth, not plastic. I highly recommend this Tennant figure.

"YOU'RE INSANE!"

The Sound of Drums prt 1

That was freakin' intense!!!

I can't wait to see how the Doctor, Martha, Jack... and the entire planet get out of this one!!

The Girl In The Fireplace

Is on BBC America right now.

Awesome episode!

Glad I am taping it.

That would be the most awesomest thing EVER.

I also liked how we FINALLY got an origin for The Master after all of these years. Not to mention, finally seeing a gorgeous shot of Gallifrey itself...

Just as I knew that Jack's wrist gizmo would get the Doctor, Martha and Jack outta trouble last week, I am predicting that the drums have to do with the Doctor defeating the Master next week.

Yeah, now we know that the Master isn't the Doctor's father, brother, or second cousin's ex roommate from his academy days.. I want to know more about the Master though.

I expect we will, in time...

and it was indeed awesome to see Galifrey again...it was beautiful.

I missed it, but that Gallifrey shot is fucking gorgeous. easily one of the best things about the new Who.

I got this 11" Tardis ice bucket today, but it is on my shelf and I will not be putting ice or beverages into it:



It is in proportion with my 8.5 " Talking Tom Baker and talking K- 9 figures.

Last Of The Time Lords

That was weird.

But pretty damn cool.

And that bit with Jack near the end......

I miss Martha already...

and the end... !
