So, what did you think? I think this deserves a brand new thread?

So, the Judoon, a lot more like Sontarans than I thought. Logical and a bit stupid, but more like ... say ... The Metropolitan Police than the Army.
He broke his Sonic Screwdriver sad Yay, he got it back!
He took his tie off and then showed her neutral And he didnt remember! (skip to end)
The Doctor Has a brother?
The doctor talking about Whashisname ... Benjamin Franklin? They thought he was crazy, but we learn more about his past. Did he meet him or one of his Past Incarnations?
Silly martha ... you can't have Earthquakes in london ... there are no Fault Lines because no Tectonic Plates meet there!
Upwards rain ... what shall we call it? Unrain? What's the opposite of r? Tain? or maybe we should just call it Urain ... xd GEt it, Urain sounds like Urine xd
The TARDIS got left behind sad But they went to it!
Hippocrates ... Benjamin Franklin ... who else?
That hospital is better than the one on New Earth - It has a shop! We know the doctor loves his shops in Hospitals, it's not a big one, but it's there biggrin
Evil Vampire "Plasmavore" Granny!
Rhino Police!
Leather Slab thingies XD
They mention Mr. Saxon already!
The "Genetic Transfer" ... wha'ever
Lame-a** party.
Same "Travels in time" trick to get her in, but just so she wouldnt be late xd
Adeola at canary wharf, I wonder why the doctor doesnt mention that he met her ... could it be that he kinda killed her?
He crossed her timeline! Just for "Cheap Jokes"

I guess there is more, but I dunno, it would take a while to pick everything out, but that's what discussion is for!

In the confidential, David says he thinks that the Doctor has been away since the end of The Runaway Bride.

Oh yeah, did anyone else think that the Jones Family is just a little bit too Eastenders for Doctor Who?

Man, the Doctor must have a cupboard full of those Sonic Screwdrivers!!! xd
So, does the rain really go upwards on the moon??? blaugh
Where is the Tardis???
BLOOD SUCKING GRANNIE!!!!!?????
I think the Judoon/rhino monsters were like evil/good, there inspecting the hospital, by SENDING IT TO THE MOON??!!
What next, school fire drill practice by sending them to MARS!!! xd
Also, did you notice that Martha did just about the exact same thing as Rose, when she saw the inside of the Tardis in the first series!! sweatdrop
Go in, go back out!! xd sweatdrop
So if the Doctor was away in between The Runaway Bride and this episode, where did he go??? sweatdrop

Well, Donna did that too, but they also changed it. She was more assertive, and the doctor was Miming her saying it xd I like Martha more but I dont like her family.

The TARDIS was left just outside teh Earth-site of the hospital the entire time.

I think he went off in time to get another screwdriver, assuming he didnt get it from the place he turned in to a Banana Grove.

They sent it to the moon so that

a) The plasmavore couldnt escape
b) They would have less people to search, since they knew she was in the hospital.

I think it would be a natural thing to go in and out of the TARDIS the first time you see it, I mean, it is impossible for humans to make something bigger on the inside.

I think the Doctor might have been out and about, nothing big. Maybe he restocked some TARDIS stuff? I am sure there needs to be food xd

I've only just watched it, and it's late, and my brains kind of melted, so all I have to say for the moment is:

A Judoon Platoon upon the Moon.
PostPosted: Sun Apr 01, 2007 2:50 am


psst, one 'd' two 'o's' Judoon Platoon on the Moon (see the double o's all the way through wink )

It repeats today at I think ... 8pm, I'll have to check!

-looks for the ratings for last night-

Wheeee! Just watched it.

I thought the Judoon were fantastic. I really hope we see them again. I liked that they weren't definite bad guys or good guys - just 'guys' - well, troops.

I had to giggle at the Doctor when we first see him too - just says something random to Martha, pulls off his tie and walks off. We had to rewind that a couple of times, we were all laughing so much (I had a couple of people around for it razz ).
The Doctor was awesome, I loved it how he was always pre-empting how Martha would react to things...like "it's bigger on the inside"...LOL

The special effects were fantastic. I loved the moon, it was so brilliantly done.

Martha was good... Acting - great - but it's the character...I guess she'll take some getting used to...she's not Rose, but I didn't expect her to be Rose...most people will like Martha better than Rose, I'm guessing, since she seems just so much more intelligent on the whole.
I want to see more episodes before I entirely make up my mind about Martha...we have the 'complicated family' background again.
I'm wondering if they're going to do a repeat of going on one trip, coming home and it's like a year since she left?

I guess my main problem is they didn't distance Martha's character far enough away from Rose's. Eg - my one major gripe about that episode:
"Run". *grab hands*
That was just not right...

I'm glad we get to see the Shakespeare episode next week, since we've been hearing about that one for so long.

It's so exciting to have new Doctor Who episodes finally, though!! I can't wait til we get further down the track and Jack comes back!

Well, i'll probably watch it again on my tape!!

Also, the only thingi wanna say at the moment is....

HEYO CAPTAIN JACK!!!! xd

I think the doctor and Jack might share a kiss ninja I wonder what the Judoon reader would read if it scanned Jack! :O I wonder if Jack has a Judoon scanner, I wonder if he knows what a Judoon is!

Apparantly Jack's wrist thingy gets broken and the Doctor Fixes it xd

The "Run" thing is just something the doctor always does, except when he hops, but when you are being chased by a leather golem and a troop of Rhino Aliens, you kinda run XD

I dont know if they will do a repeat of that, I know that we refer to her family a lot in this series, but I dont think the doctor will even give her a mobile upgrade, seeing as I think she might be a bit relieved to not have to handle her families problems.

Also, I think the whole miming thing at the end was awesome, because he hears it every time ... "It's bigger on the inside" but Martha is the only one I think to say it's made out of wood XD No one has actually mentioned the Coral inside xd I wonder if once Tennant inevitably leaves, we will get a remodeled TARDIS?

Hehe, I can't spell at half eleven at night after I've been running around all day. One of the reasons I have to keep redoing homework.

I loved the miming thing. And when he goes up to her and takes his tie off. At first I was thinking WTF? And then at the end I was 'Oh..'

Did anyone else hear the banana reference?

Just thought I'd report on the ratings for last night! Doctor who, of course, beat Harry Potter. Here is the breakdown from outpost gallifrey (www.doctorwhonews.com)

Quote:
Unofficial overnight figures show that the first episode of the new series was watched by 8.2 million viewers, a 39.5% share of the audience.

The programme was the most watched on Saturday, beating the second placed Any Dream Will Do by 1.5 million viewers.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on ITV1 was watched by 4.7 million viewers.

The programme also had the highest audience share of the day.

The five minute breakdown shows the audience grew by over 2 million throughout the programme to peak at 9.1 million between 7.35 and 7.40.

Doctor Who was also top of the Children's Top Ten with 1.6 million viewers between the ages of 4 and 16. This was more than double the number viewing the second placed Harry Potter which had 0.7 million children watching.

On BBC3, Doctor Who Confidential was watched by 790,000 Viewers. It was the second most watched programme on multi channel TV, being beaten by Ford Football Special on Sky Sports 1.
