The bit I don't get is - if the bad guys had the real baby the whole time, what was the point of that whole fight at the end? Why were the monks bothering to attack? (For that matter, I don't get how the eyepatch lady went from "the Doctor's prisoner" to "taunting him on video from miles away")
― Godzilla vs. Rodan Rodannadanna (The Yellow Kid), Sunday, 12 June 2011 23:05 (fifteen years ago)
Maybe the fight was to distract the Doctor so he didn't realise the baby was flesh, and to buy Eyepatch enough time to get away?

interesting graph in the observer yesterday - matt smith's 14 more episodes will put him on 49, which is more than tennant (47), eccles(13), mcgann(1), cbaker(31), davison(43)
but less than mccoy(69), tbaker(172), pertwee(128), troughton(119) and hartnell(134)

That can't be as high as 49, even allowing for Christmas specials and the last regeneration scene, surely?

2 x 13 eps = 26 + next year's series of 14 eps = 40 + crap Christmas special with Katharine Jenkins = 41. Even giving him turning up at the end of Tennant's last one, that's still only 42. Are they counting the mini thing at the Doctor Who prom and the Children in Need special and some other random stuff as well?

I still don't get how McCoy got to 69 episodes (or Davison only to 43 for that matter)
― We are Real solid sex doll AKA RSSD (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 13 June 2011 09:36 (fifteen years ago)
Are they counting appearance in the Sarah Jane Adventures as well, maybe?
(doesn't explain McCoy, I know...)
― ailsa, Monday, 13 June 2011 09:39 (fifteen years ago)
Tennant's total just seems to include the main series + xmas + specials, not the Children In Need one, not even the regeneration.
― Dust, Monday, 13 June 2011 09:43 (fifteen years ago)
Well I mean Davison was in it for what, three years? 26 episodes a year? That's just off the top of my head. McCoy was in 3x14 + Dimensions in Time + the American movie which doesn't = 69. Observer my arse.
― We are Real solid sex doll AKA RSSD (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 13 June 2011 09:44 (fifteen years ago)
69 inc 5 doctors for davison acc. to wikip + my hasty arithmetic.
― ledge, Monday, 13 June 2011 09:48 (fifteen years ago)
I just worked it out, they swapped McCoy and Davison.

Yeah, people are already jumping on this without knowing any facts at all.
There seems to be a lot of talk about rumoured on-going production chaos that's rumoured to have caused this year's split and the rumoured 2012–2013 season rumoured rumoured, and I suppose there's also the chance that budget cuts are hitting it (although this show could probably fund itself with all the DVD and toy sales).
― Autumn Alma Park Toilets (Schlafsack), Thursday, 16 June 2011 06:25 (fifteen years ago)
that is not how the funding works tho*. Who brings in more $ than anything other BBC property IIRC, and has its production budget cut year-on-year.
* same at w0rk here btw, even on [f0rm3r j0b] DVDs I compiled and sleevenoted and whatnot. sometimes got a free copy though.
― underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have pwned (sic), Thursday, 16 June 2011 07:44 (fifteen years ago)
"anything other property." to the cocktail bar!
Yeah I know income =/= budget where public funding is concerned, just thinking aloud.

This. Would it be completely insane, given that River can maybe regenerate (perhaps, if she is the time baby from early on), that she IS Madame Kovarian somehow? And thus engineers her younger self to kill the Doctor in the spacesuit while her (slightly) younger self tries to stop this from happening?
That feels too timey-wimey but Moffat loves that shit.
