didn't River Song say Tennant's Doctor looked younger than the one she knew tho?
― Aqua Teen Cunga Force (blueski), Tuesday, 21 July 2009 12:04 (fourteen years ago) link
Think she said he WAS younger, not that he looked younger. Maybe she can SEE INTO HIS SOUL or something.
Tennant looks younger than Smith, weirdly, despite being what, ten years older?
― Desmond Decca Aitkenhead (Matt DC), Tuesday, 21 July 2009 12:06 (fourteen years ago) link
It's the slightly anvil qualities of Smith forehead that age him so.

Does not have giant lips and leprosy scars.

Also he looks like an Easter Island head with floppy hair.

I was just coming here to comment on his Easter Island-like forehead, but Matt has beat me to it.

After Eccleston and Tennant, it's odd seeing an actor playing The Doctor who looks like he should be in a physics lab.

Also, the new pictures of the tardis make it look like it was made out of legos. I haven't decided whether this is a good or a bad thing.

The recent shots got me to watch Silence In The Library again, in preparation for the Moffatt era, and... holy crap it's creepy. I can't imagine how much the data ghost plus the skeleton in the suit would have freaked me out as a kid.
― Desmond Decca Aitkenhead (Matt DC), Wednesday, 22 July 2009 22:10 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah and the bit where the shadows were creeping up on them.
i think Blink would've terrified me more though - inanimate objects coming into life and turning into monsters was always my biggest fear as a child.

The Forest of the Dead was cracking as well, that bit when Donna ceases to exist to her "children" when they closed their eyes...

I'd forgotten that River Song dies - that's a hell of an undercurrent for her time in future series.

RTD & Tennant were at SDCC, and here's some news:
http://io9.com/5322961/david-tennant-tells-us-why-his-doctors-so-sorry-and-whats-to-come
http://io9.com/5323195/doctor-who-and-the-end-of-time-tennants-last-moments
Someone asked David Tennant if the new Who is a reimagining of the old show, and he responded: "It's the same show and the story continues. I'm playing the same man tht William Hartnell was playing. I just have a slghtly different wig."
Someone from the Guinness Book Of World Records presented the show with an award for being the most successful science fiction show of all time, and Davies happily accepted, making jokes about Star Trek. ""Eat that, Supernatural!" He shouted, followed by "Eat me, Supernatural — oh I didn't really say that, did I?"

Why does this thread say that there's a post by MattDC at 11:11, but it's isn't there? Has it fallen into THE RIFT?

I deleted it because I suddenly realised it contained a massive spoiler that people might not want to read.

He can't possibly fuck it up any more than creating a separate fuckbuddy for Rose.

They'd better show us the fucking Time War, otherwise Rusty seemingly invented it and destroyed Gallifrey and dangled the whole story in front of us for five years purely as an excuse to make the Doctor a bit emo.
― Desmond Decca Aitkenhead (Matt DC), Monday, 27 July 2009 13:27 (fourteen years ago) link
they can't show any Time War stuff without McGann/Eccles. RTDN has devalued it with subsequent "epic" Dalek battles anyway.
am much more bothered by his continued penchant for "killing off" characters just so he can bring them back for one last pointless hurrah. he also said this week that Torchwood would be returning and that Jack is an integral part of the show (implying Barrowman will still be in it). GNUUHHH...
― unban dictionary (blueski), Monday, 27 July 2009 13:46 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, he's terrible for that kind of shit. I loved Donna against all odds, but her story is over as far as I'm concerned.
― chap, Monday, 27 July 2009 13:48 (fourteen years ago) link
The Time War was invented back in the BBC Novelization days, the first book of which is Interference (published in August 1999). Gallifrey was destroyed in The Ancestor Cell (July 2000).
I guess I should have kept reviewing these on The Brown Wedge.

Doctor Who has been turned into a cartoon featuring David Tennant in a special animated adventure. The six-part series, titled Dreamland, will premiere on the Doctor Who website and via the BBC Red Button service in the autumn, before being broadcast on BBC Two as part of CBBC.
