...NEW DOCTOR WHO TONIGHT, 16/4/05, ALIENS OF LONDON...

[ARRISARRIS]

...here we go again the official Dr Who 2000ad discussion thread, so what did you think of this weeks episode, and what about the cliffhanger?...

[The monarch]

Well don't want to be a foward thinker but with next weeks title being World war three...

[Buddy]

I, of course, will not be watching...

[Leigh S]

Ump - we get it already!

Honestly, you're missing a treat, but I'm sure the Beeb will be appropriately miffed at your protest! :)

[Quirkafleeg]

Bah, spoilertastic preview in the Guardian!

[Carlsborg Expert]

Cannot wait to see reactions to big Ben getting it!

[Carlsborg Expert]

When are they going to the Carribean?

[The Amstor Computer]

Not quite as good as last week, but great fun.

But which fucking idiot thought that showing a trailer that *featured every damn character surviving* was the best way to maintain suspense? Completely knackers suspension of disbelief...

[paulvonscott]

Well, Dr Who is an unparalelled joy for me.

I really enjoyed this, so many moments of pure fun, I can overlook any faults.

This was the first episode where Ecclestons manic grinning actually entertained as opposed to put me off.

Fabbo.

What was good:

The Slitheen
The fake pig alien
Most of the performances
UNIT
The SFX

What wasn't so good:

The overuse of the fart gag. Cut back a bit & it would have been amusing, but not ridiculous
Some of the alien model effects (a couple of Slitheen shots showed the suits up *as* suits)
The arse-head who decided to run that trailer

[dgsub]

 Good in general but aliens a little bit cheesy no I lie mega cheesy.Good to see it in more than one episode to build up suspense.Coming back to the aliens how could one pig make such a noise but the pig is a personal favourite.The silveens looked like rancor`s crossed with a giraffe.

[The Amstor Computer]

Heh - Pig-Alien is going to be a personal fave for a while, and the Doctor's angry reaction when he realised what it was was nicely done. The CGI Slitheen in the trailer look pretty well-handled, and I'll look forward to seeing them in action.

(Aarrggh... that trailer! All the direction and build-up to put all of the main characters in peril, buggered :-( )

[Carlsborg Expert]

I thought the fart gag was interminabley composed to become more and more sinister.

Until it was no longer a joke.

More an invasive prodding into the nerves.

And then the line.....









Silent but..

[paulvonscott]

One of my favourite bits was where the doctor told his sonic screwdriver to shush.  It was amoment of real childish glee for me.

[dgsub]

Whoa! Pig Yeah
