The 11th Doctor

[Webster]

Not quite. There was no new series of Doctor Who in 2009 but there were five specials between series 4 and series 5:

The Next Doctor (UK tx: Christmas Day 2008)
Planet of the Dead (UK tx: Easter 2009) - I didn't like this as I hated the character of Lady Christina.
The Waters Of Mars (UK tx: November 2009) - excellent episode IMHO!
The End Of Time (Part One, UK tx: Christmas Day 2009)
The End Of Time (Part Two, UK tx: New Year's Day 2010).

If you jump straight from series 4 to series 5 you won't know why the Doctor has regenerated.

Thanks for the info.
I've already seen "The Next Doctor" (Love the definition of the TARDIS. My kids were laughing when the new Doctor shows it) and Planet of the Dead. So I guess I'll see the others next.

Cole, I have to disagree with you. I really enjoyed planet of the dead, Michelle Ryan. The opening parts were much more interesting, but the ep was very good.

Regarding the regeneration thing, I must admit, that is confusing abit. I mean, I thought you had to be inside the tardis for its true effects because there seems to be evidense that the doctor(s) and the tardis are "linked" somehow.

This new doctor like to play with his hands, i notice he like to roll them up in ball, sort of exciting to theorize, being the doctor and all, I mean.

Personally, I think her character is way too similar to the the character played by Catherine Zeta-Jones in the movie "Entrapment (1999)".

It's an episode that I am going to have trouble watching again because there is so much wrong with it. When I first saw it I knew it was on to stony ground when we had virtually the entire Metropolitan Police armed wing chasing after one un-armed thief. There are other plot holes in this story that you could drive a double-decker bus through (excuse the pun).

AS for Lady Christina, I found her arrogant and self-obsessed. She wasn't even portrayed as some kind of Robin Hood; she just stole because she could. I would have been able to stomach the episode a little better if the Doctor had brought her down a peg or two and let her get arrested but, no, the Doctor releases her from the Police so that she can, presumably, carry on being a common thief again. Maybe this wouldn't have been so bad if Lady Christina was even remotely likeable.

What does redeem the episode is Lee Evans' Malcolm. I hope we see him again.

I don't know. I think its just me. I like a program for what it is as its playing. I try not to analize them or else I get lost expecting the realizm. I just want to laugh and enjoy.

But I agree with you, there are lots of holes in these ep's but can't spend my time counting and examining them or else i loose my interest in watching tv--i leave that job up to you and others, and come here to read them to make sense of all this--you guys are great for this, and do depend on it, keep it up! thank you

Lee Evans, didn't know who he was nor his contributions, though I see him listed in one of my favorite movies, The Fifth Element.

yeah, i am trying to work out the issue with directv. I have to admit, their (video) quality has improved a bit and don't want to loose it. And i'm lazy, i do love the dvr, its a plus. Plus, I really do miss watching the disney channels.

Well, I got my directv back. If I was only 1 hour earlier making it home, I could of cought the weeping angles sequal. They had a short marathon of the first four ep's, they seem to to this with every *new* doctor. Oh well.

-vhelp 5385

Well, I just finished watching Weeping Angles, finally. All I can say is, it was great!

There are some plots that seem to have holes in them although they did delve a bit deeper in detail about the angles. They are creepy, I'll say.

The doctor says, time can be re-written, so he seems to realize now. So, I wonder how the two connect:

1. when Amy was left alone (with the three solders) to keep her eyes closed, as the solders went to investigate the area around the bright light ( the "crack" ) one by one they were being removed or should I say, re-written out of time/existance.

2. I am wondering how is it that the doctor still knew about them, their names, etc.

3. If time was being re-written, and the those solders were wiped out, only Amy was to remember them?

And last, Amy is becomming stubbernly annoying !@!@!

All I can say is all will be revealed at the end of the series.

As for Amy being annoying; I am right with you there.

[vhelp]

curious, I was wondering exactly what was the interfering add/graphics that people complained about saying it ruined the ending of this episode ?

My dvr recorded it, and I also captured it to my external hdd the other day. I want to see if it is on my capture..thank you.
