I thought the "Jesus Doctor" stuff was a fucking cop-out. And, the "old Doctor" gremlin thing was just a waste of special effects. I don't know why RTD has to bizzarro it out like that. But, for all the weakness of this episode, the preceding two before it more than make up.
And don't worry. Martha is going to Torchwood Season Two for a few episodes, and then she'll be back next season on Who...

Yeah, the " Jesus Doctor " bit was over the top, but it was still good.
Tomorrow at 7 pm my time: " The Cybermen, part 1. "
The best part about the whole Mickey thing is how the 9th Doctor always called him "Rickey", just insisting that was his name. And, while you knew he was doing it to just get a rise out of the character, there was something so certain about his insistence. And then they go to the alternate universe and there's "Rickey"...
I liked last night's episode, but agree with everyone about the Jesus Doctor bit. Watching that, I imagined that that what Prof. Frink must have felt like after his supercomputer analyzed the Flaming Moe...
"The Doctor's secret weapon is... LOVE?!? Why, you hunk of junk!"

Someone posted this elsewhere on the net. But, I had to pass it on cause it's too fucking funny (and true!)...
The Last of the Time Lords: Summarized in Pictures!
I was seeing that same scene in my head from Jedi when the Doctor set fire to the Master's body... I half expected him to turn and smile as he sees all 9 of his previous incarnations smiling at him like Anakin, Yoda, and Ben did at Luke at the end of Jedi!
What IS Davies fascination with all this lovey-dovey crap? I'm not saying that shameless sentimentality has no place in Dr. Who, but Davies can't pull it off. Moffat can, but not Davies.

Moffat earns it with tight scripts, witty dialogue, and tense pacing. Davies tries to spoon-feed it down your throat and then pats himself on the back for how "clever" he is. That's the difference...
A pity I haven't seen more classic Dr Who, especially no other than Bob Baker (#4).
"Batman is only meaningful as an answer to a world which in its basics is chaotic and in the hands of the wrong people, where no justice can be found. I think it's very suitable to our perception of the world's condition today... Batman embodies the will to resist evil" -Frank Miller
"Conan, what's the meaning of life?" "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women!" -Conan the Barbarian
"Well, yeah." -Jason E. Perkins
"If I had a dime for every time Pariah was right about something I'd owe twenty cents." -Ultimate Jaburg53
"Fair enough. I defer to your expertise." -Prometheus
your phrasing of your question to Jerry was slightly bitchy. it did seem a bit that you were taking him to task for something that is done quite regularly.

Why were you annoyed that I posed a question? I simply didn't understand exactly what you were doing, or why. That's how humans communicate, Data!
And, yeah, I know I didn't do Hartnell or Troughton. I just haven't been able to figure out a good descriptive phrase for them that fits...
I was annoyed for only a little while because it seemed a strange question to ask... You will recall how I was indifferent to the 9 th Doctor at first, and I got to like him a lot over a period of time... I'm almost as into Doctor Who as I was when I first got into the show about 24 years ago!
So, I posted that bit of qoutes from THE LAST TIME LORD because I am very impressed with the show.
If you have any more questions, such as how fast does light travel, or about Saturn's moons, or how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop, fire away!
But not about why I post stuff about a show I love...
something about squirting lemon juice onto people's genitalia, or whatever the young kids are into these days.
So he's been reading your book of poetry.

Jerry, why did you post this response to me? Please explain yourself. NOW!!!!
