Aren't you jumping the gun a little here? It hasn't even been shown yet!
That said, it does look like it should be quite interesting, what with being in real time and everything. They certainly do seem to be trying to keep things varied.
On the other hand, the whole thing might just be an excuse to get in another Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy reference.

Not sure yet...I'll have to watch it first.
Do you have a TARDIS? Did you watch it then come back and boast about seeing it before everyone else and how good it is?

I admit that I was scared....not of the other dudes who became sun-posessed...just when the Doctor became all scary and "Buuuurn with me Marthaaaaaa"
I want to watch it again now....my mum taped it so I will tomorrow.

EPIC FAIL!
it was soooo cheesy! So many clichés in one ep made me cringe. When a 9-year-old special-needs girl knows whats gonna happen next... stare
on the other hand, at the beginning he was all sweaty... and wearing three layers! WTF?!

Yay! It's back!
Yeah, the doctor-possessed bit was freaky. And it's nice to see that the Doctor isn't so invincible as he's seemed before in this series.
(And if that doesn't make sense, I'm ill and losing it a wee bit.)
And Martha did the screaming maiden part, which could have ruined it except she pulled it back with the actual helpful-ness she occasionally showed.

We had to wait two weeks for this? Ugh, a Eurovision re-run would have gone down better.
And after all the crap-science complainery of previous episodes I do hope people were paying attention to the 'hugely' plausible concepts on display here.
1. A spaceship that can't muster the power to escape the gravitational pull of a conveniently placed sun and yet can still manage to conjure up a magical magnetic field that can draw back an errant escape pod.
2. A massively flame-retardant spacesuit to match a massively flame-retardant doctor.
3. An alien virus that switches between killing and possessing people seemingly enitrely at random as the script deems necessary to help it along.
4. A Martha who somehow knows how to work a cryo lab.
5. An escape pod that takes so much time to jettison you'd likely die of whatever it was you were escaping from long before it blasts off.
6. A needless and frankly pants faux-death scene in said escape pod.
7. A mysterious and entirely uncredited force that changes all the questions on the security locks on the ship to tricksy twentieth-century stumpers.
8. An obligatory pointless death to round off the episode.
It was The Impossible Planet meets Ridley Scott meets 24 and it failed to convince on every level.
Quote of the day goes to Miss Jones for this (slightly edited) peach.
Martha: (to captain) 'Get off your fanny and help me get the doctor to the med lab, b***h!'
They duly arrive in the med lab.
Captain: 'Here, let me help you.'
Martha: 'Did I ask for your help? Get the hell away from me, b***h!'
Seriously, that stuff was gold >.>

6. What would you do if you were about to be thrown into a sun?
7. The questions were chosen by crew members. You know, maybe they had HISTORY LESSONS?
8. It wasn't pointless, she needed to die, otherwise the ex-husband-monster thing would KILL THEM ALL

That episode has to be good, because my friend, who, whenever watching doctor who falls asleep scream , watched THE WHOLE THING!!
And...they're STILL making references to Rose!! This was quite a lot like the impossible planet/satan pit, and there are loads of other reasons which noone else agrees with so there's no point in posting them here.

Seriously, that stuff was gold >.> And you yelled at me for saying you always hate new series episodes stare . Anyway, I thought this was really good, not as good as the Lazarus Experiment, but better than Gridlock. The real time element really gave it a sense of tension (if thats the right word) and the thing with the captian and her more or less dead husband was quite a nice in story like Lazlo and Tallulah in episode 4 and 5. I think that even if no-one else does. I do have one problem though, how did the ship not crash if it had no fuel? That is one of the few things that didn't make sense. On a slightly related note, why is everyone so picky about the bloody science!?! Doctor who's science has never made sense, so why does everyone on this bloody guild condem an episode to the dustbin just because it's science has a tiny problem with it? It's like this with every Goddamn episode! Everyones going DNA cannot be passed through lightning therefore this episode is a pile of horse kidneys! It's enough to make a perfectly sane person CRAZY! *Hits Jettrick with a spanner*

+==+==+moo+ I complety agree with everything you just said Moo. Suck on that Jetty Oh, suck on it I will. And not only because you physically abused me a few posts back eek 3. I know HOW the creature switched between people. My issue is not with its preferred method of transferrence between host bodies. My issue is with the fact it starts out by first murdering crew members then suddenly seems to decide it wants to play bodyswap. Why doesn't it just take over all the crew this way if it amounts to the same thing as killing them? The answer seems regrettably to be because 'the story wouldn't be as dramatic if it did'. Which is just plain lazy. 4. And I suppose she read this manual whilst simultaneously keeping her murderous timelord companion from escaping the chamber and helping stop the ship from piloting them all into fiery oblivion -.- 5. Then these are clearly very special escape pods indeed. Perhaps put there for the special children while the rest of the crew legs it into the proper ones rolleyes 6.Again, it's not the content here I have issue with-it's the fact that such a scene was included in the first place. *Any* Doctor Who story can have a cheap 'companion in peril' subplot tacked onto it-but why waste something as innovative as your first realtime episode on this cliche? 7.It was alluded in the episode that someone had CHANGED the questions, as none of the avaliable crew at the time knew the answers to them. Presumably the sun alien could have done this but that begs the questions how does a parasitical ball of molten gas hundreds of years in the future know the first thing about Elvis Presley? 8. Not so. The monster would have presumably departed just as it did from the doctor when it realised its precious sun particles had been restored. Via the distinctly dodgy process of having the ship DUMP A GREAT BIG TRUCKLOAD OF FUEL INTO THE HEART OF A SUN. There are *no* levels upon which such an ambitious scheme should ever be considered feasible o_o Now if we're all clear, I'm going to bed >.>

I though this episode was pretty bad, if I'm honest, though Mr Tennant's acting was amazing, even for him.
