KevinG Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Finished the new Torchwood today. Jesus, WTF. Yes my god. Though I think it sets up Jack meeting the Doctor somewhere in space and is this the end of Torchwood? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yermom Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yes my god. Though I think it sets up Jack meeting the Doctor somewhere in space and is this the end of Torchwood? I think he's definitly going to meet the new Doc and probably flirt with him. If there's more Torchwood lined up, I haven't seen anything about it yet. Seems tough to pull off...Ianto!!!

KevinG Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Matt Smith's costume are relieved in this short segment from the BBC. interview with Benjamin Cook and Lizo Mzimba For those of you who don't want to sit through 7 mins of Brits talking Doctor Who, here is one of the pictures. What you can't see is his shoes which are shown here: And for fun, here is Matt Smith and the Sonic Screwdriver (which is new as well). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jack. Yeah sounds weird to me too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I liked the Torchwood special a lot, and I'm looking forward to the last couple Tennant specials. I like shows where its a possibility that the main characters can die, so I respect the decision to kill everyone off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nurfherder Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I finally watched the last Torchwood season here in the US. I think Gwen and Jack have always been the heart of the show, so as long as they're alive (well, Gwen at least) there's always the possibility for more Torchwood. Plus, in the "Special Features" section RTD said he thinks its possible for Jack to have more in him, so I'm fairly sure there will be another season. Plus, didn't they set it up for Lois and Micky to join at some point? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And RTD said in an interview that there is no way Torchwood can continue without Jack. Mickey was and Martha where supposed to be in Children of Earth, but scheduling didn't work out I guess. Who is Lois? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lois Habiba was the temp at the Home Office who helped out Torchwood by wearing the contacts that recorded everything and then confronted the Council about the plan. When she was meeting Gwen the first time Gwen said something to the effect of "after this is over, come see me about a job." So it seemed like it might be a setting up for her to get into the show.

Right-o. I kinda forgot about her. She would be good in the show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Having been set up to do so by the conclusion of their storylines in "Journey's End", Freema Agyeman and Noel Clarke were due to reprise their roles as Martha Jones and Mickey Smith respectively, but were unable to due to "scheduling issues". Davies explains that Agyeman was cast in Law & Order: UK before Children of Earth had been officially commissioned. Because Law & Order offered her 13 episodes a year, she went with that over Torchwood which had been reduced to 5. In response, Davies created the character of Lois Habiba, played by Cush Jumbo, to be a "kind of a Martha figure", one with added innocence who is out of her depth. Agyeman doesn't rule out returning to the show at a later date, however. Should Agyeman's career permit, Davies might like to have her back in a hypothetical fourth series. In the third series, Jack and Gwen explain Martha's absence by saying that she is on her honeymoon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Waters of Mars was fun. I watched it with the lights off by myself and I thought those were some of the creepier baddies theyve had in the new series. The ending was a little odd. The mad-with-power doctor seemed strange to me, and even though it stemmed from his desire to save more people, it didn't feel 100% right. Perhaps they are setting something up for the series finale though - something about him paying for trying to mess with time or sacrificing a regeneration to not be the last of the timelords. Overall, a solid little piece though nothing substantial.... I'm not looking forward to Tennant leaving. P.S. I loved the Ice Warriors namecheck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Overall, a solid little piece though nothing substantial.... I'm not looking forward to Tennant leaving. P.S. I loved the Ice Warriors namecheck. Overall loved the episode. It was classic Russel T Davis, great idea for a story, but the execution had some major flaws. The Dalek thing was interesting but it didn't make sense if you think about it, for too long. On the Timelord Victorious thing, I am surprised it took the Doctor this long to finally snap. I mean his entire race has died and the Daleks just keep coming back. I'd prolly go off my rocker. It showed that he needs a companion to keep his ego and moral in check. Though one would wonder what Donna would have done in this case. Needless to say I can't wait until Christmas. The preview looks badass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yermom Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 The Christmas preview does look totally badass. Maybe the Timelord Victorious thing is supposed to help us let go of Tennant, if they can make him go a little whack here at the end it won't hurts as much to see him go? I'm gonna miss that silly looking fox so much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OOO Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 That was one of the better episode endings I've seen. (And I've seen every Dr. Who episode available) I thought Timothy Dalton was going to end up being the Black Guardian and the old lady in the television was going to be the White Guardian, but the Time Lords reborn is even more exciting. Maybe the Doc is going to have to kill off his race to save the humans. Wouldn't that be fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
