i would like to see two or more companions next year though. i think that's what they were setting up with Donna. Rose and Martha played it like a lover's fling but Donna has made the companion a sexless position like it used to be. I really enjoyed when Jack or Mickey was along for the ride.

Did Davies rip off a Moffat concept for this story?
"Hey, Blink was a really good episode that a lot of fans liked. What if I just tweaked that whole 'living off stolen time' idea that Steven came up with. Yeah. That's fucking brilliant."
whomod said: I generally don't like it when people decide to play by the rules against people who don't play by the rules. It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness. This is true both in politics and on the internet."

maybe the core concept but obvious the methods and consequences were different. although the Doctor did say that Donna was special enough to warrant a new universe but most people were just adjusted for (like in Blink).
though the more I think about it, the more I wonder. the Doctor mentioned the library which was a Moffet script, and he tied this story to that one.
I do think this series is my least favorite. No matter how good the finale turns out to be, the series as a whole has not been as good as prior years. The Doctor-light episodes are normally among my favorites (Love and Monsters, Blink).
I like Davies but it's time for him to go and for Moffet to take over.

Hey, I just saw the "Impossible Planet" one, and let me say it pissed me off. A planet CAN orbit a black hole. It isn't against the laws of physics. Cygnus X-1 is part of a binary star system; the other star still orbits it. also, there are PLANETS orbiting that black hole. Black Holes aren't magic.

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=16967 In the popular Doctor Who novel “The Eight Doctors,” writer Terrance Dick, of whom Tony Lee is a great fan, re-visited previous incarnations of the Doctor in the midst of adventures from the original series. In IDW’s “Doctor Who: The Forgotten,” Lee decided to take the alternate route and create all new adventures for the classic Doctors. “Although it's always nice to revisit old friends,” Lee told CBR News, “I think we can give more 'forgotten tales' in these short flashbacks. We have the First Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Susan meeting Egyptians; we have the Second, Jamie and Zoe meeting space lizards; the Third, Jo and The Brigadier (and pretty much most of the UNIT regulars) defeating aliens on Dartmoor; the Fourth and Romana (two) in millennium Paris; the Fifth, Tegan and Turlough facing a more recent addition in a Village cricket match; the Sixth and Peri in a courtroom; the Seventh and Ace in an alien war torn city; the Eighth alone in a Count of Monte Cristo setting; and the Ninth and Rose in the trenches of World War I. And every single one of them has been an utter joy to write.
“Oh and of course we have the Tenth and Martha,” Lee added, “in a strange museum being hassled by gun happy waxworks, giant familiar spiders, robots and a mysterious and familiar bearded man."
Fans might be wondering if the Doctor will actually get to meet some of his previous incarnations in “The Forgotten,” or if their appearances will just be contained to flashbacks. Lee kept tight lipped on the matter but he did tease, “Let's just say that there is a two-page double-spread panel in one of the later issues that will make all the fans excited. And by this point you'll also know exactly what's going on. I told the ending to a longtime friend and massive Doctor Who fan and he spent the next hour a gibbering wreck.”

Fucking AWEsome!!! I will definitely be getting this. This is exactly the kind of Doctor Who comics I've been wanting. I don't want "the further adventures of the guy that's on TV right now". I want all new adventures for past Docs. Of course, I REALLY hope to god it's not that shit-ass 'Madurea-type'cartoony art they have going for the 10th Doc comics...

I mean, look at that shitty "Magneto" pose they have given Pertwee.
And the Troughton/Tennant pose is straight out of an Impulse comic!

I agree that the artist is shit. I do like a lot of the ideas he has. He just doesn't pull them off well. For example, that Hartnell pick would look pretty fucking awesome if someone with talent had drawn it.

When I was reading comics, shitty art could stop me from enjoying a comic book.
A good example was the short lived Hex series.
I actually really enjoyed that book, but could not get into the final issue(s) because of the art.
Normally, I like Giffens art, but on that book it was fucking awful.
For all I know, the wind up on that series was great, but I totally zoned out on the story as the art was so distracting (in a bad way).
Its kinda like films.
The story and script can be ground breaking, but if the camera work and acting is terrible, the good things cannot be enjoyed!

Once again, I concur. The Pertwee pic is a perfect example of how bad this guy is. Not only the pose stiff, but is he standing on the seat of the car? It's like the guy decided to add in the car at the last minute. Pertwee should be interacting with it, hand on the windshield or steering wheel, and not standing so damn high in it.
