Tah-dah!
Still, a little odd that it took 40 years or so for them to explain it!
That would have been odd, if it were true. Actually, it only took them eleven or twelve years or so - the Doctor explains why Sarah can understand Italian in "The Masque of the Mandragora" (and that's a clue to her being taken over by Evil, because normally she'd never think to ask such an obvious question)

I'm still pretty ton about the Big Finish Day thing.If possible, please go to the forum and complain about it in the thread 'June 2011 Sales', as I'm sure if they realized they'd be losing such a profit that they'd carry the downloads thing. In case that happens, I'm not going to be off spending my miniature fortune (roughly a hundred dollars is more money then I'm used to being able to wave however I want) until after the event passes.
...and The people at Qwertee have confirmed the Doctor Pooh shirt will be up within the next few slots, after they decide on coloring for the female design. So, there's some other use for your monies.

but seriously how hard would it have been to have this happen in the 2nd episode when they meet the cavepeople
Barbera: Oh My! Doctor how can we understand what they're saying
Doctor: It's all too much for you inferior mind to understand
Susan: It's the TARDIS that does it
you'd think that two schoolteachers would think to ask that question...
it also is kind of unnerving when the two female characters scream bloody murder at every single thing that happens... I swear Susan would scream her head of if they encountered a planet of fuzzy kittens playing with yarn...

ooooooOOOOOOoooooooo can't wait... now the question is, is mel a woman who screams bloody murder at cute kittens with yarn, or is it a planet with cute kittens with yarn... =P

I believe that after the first story went out, people wrote in to complain that the cavemen spoke English, and had experienced the dawning and passing of the Ice Age within their lifetimes. The production team had to explain that a certain dramatic licence should be allowed, as pitting the Doctor against a cast of characters who just say "ug" doesn't really go anywhere....

Pfft, if I was in charge of the complaints department, I would just have asked for definitive proof that the cavemen didn't speak 1960's english.
I'm so happy, and at the same time saddened. Because I'll be done with six/evelyn and Charley/Eight 1-50 due to this sale, and therefore will be onto the expensive audios. Le sigh.
Hard choice of the month: Lost Stories Season 3 (6x2 disc, 2x3 disc) for $70 but not all out and no bonuses other then it being cheaper to buy it now or Doctor Who subscription (6 2 disc releases) for $75, but comes with extras such as scripts.
Also: I just realized that because of my impending subscription to the monthly range thanks to my bug-squashing, I get 5 dollars off any non-Main Range subscription starting in October. yesh

I thought the scripts and stuff only was available with the 12 serial releases? I don't think I got it with my 6 title one. Although that was download only, and still in the first 50.

I quote from 'The Television Companion - The Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide to Doctor Who':
The first letter ever to be received by the Doctor Who production office from members of the public was written by two correspondents, Miss Johnson and Mr Priddy of Wimbledon Park, London, SW19, immediately after transmission of Cave of Skulls [The second episode of what would later be called An Unearthly Child] on 30 November 1964. They criticized the episode on the grounds that it:
- Depicted a tribe without fire in an era when fire had already been discovered
- Assumed that the tribe would have a patriarchal society, although archeological evidence for this was slender
- Showed an articulated skeleton when this was anatomically impossible as there would have been nothing to hold the bones together.
Story editor David Whitaker replied on 10 December 1963 [presumably a typo that should read 1964], refuting some of these points and justifying others on the grounds of dramatic license.
So clearly people were just as nerdy about Doctor Who when it first started as they are now!

Script comes with any subscription, but is only available after release 120 (ie, just around when the trilogies started)
LOL I just heard the best Doctor Who reference ever... It was on the radio drama "adventures in Odyssey" Volume 51 an episode titled "For the Birds" one of the characters named Wooton, a scatterbrained mailman, is telling the parker family about a bird he once found and raised
mattiew: You raised a baby bird Wooton?
Wooton: Oh sure! when I lived in Alaska, he was a great horned owl named Doctor What!
Mr. Parker: Doctor What!?
Wooton: Yeah exactly! Doctor Who would have been a better name but I think it's trademarked
he then does his tradmark laugh/snort and everyone else laughs to, and the adventure continues
I thought this cliffhanger was the game changing cliffhanger! the fact the big one hasn't come yet means they got a big one to surpass now.
I saw it coming. Well, I read a fan theory a few weeks back and it was pretty much spot on. And it was reasonably heavily hinted throughout. If you rewatch it, you'll kick yourself.
On another note, the episode was excellent. Although my mother decided to start quizzing me on whether I needed new socks during a key scene. And then she couldn't work the site towards the end, at the scene with the door. (yeah, i'm too lazy to use spoiler tags. Vagueness FTW!). The episode definitely improved the first. The pain is that now when the boxset comes out and I start rewatching it, I'll have to watch these two episodes and the next two together, as they all link...

I'd seen close, implying that it amy remembering past events, with the midwife trying to break through a sort of coma.
And there were SO many awesome quotes in that episode.
Particularly David Tennant's
line, and the response from Matt "Oh let it go, We've moved on!
Personally, I didn't see it coming. They didn't exactly scream it at you about it leading up to the reveal like they did for the ending of last week's episode.

Well, in the BBC America trailer for the season you can see the Doctor telling Amy, to her face,
'WERE GOING TO FIND YOU'
, which was a pretty big giveaway that I haven't mentioned because it was a huge giveaway to a monumental twist.
Though I haven't watched the episode yet. I am amazing at this spoilers thing.
Also: Picked up E-Space Trilogy today because I have a disturbing lack of Tom Baker.
I was a bit surprised that they didn't use more of the
eyepatch lady
in the Rebel Flesh episode, when I learned that this two-parter is written by Matthew Graham, who created Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes, two shows that both made extensive use of
... that sort of thing
. Now I get that they probably didn't want to overdo it and give away
that twist
. I admit I didn't make all the connections until the Doctor started making them explicit. Very cool cliffhanger. Also cool to see Marshall Lancaster from those shows,
I wonder if they will have an older Doctor after the next regenoration. Or do they think they need a young Doctor to bring in younger audience.
Apparently the original plan was to have the 11th doctor as an OAP.
But Tennant wasn't exactly overly young either. He's 40 now, after all. An older one would be pretty cool though.

He might be 40 but he still looks young and sexy and young and hot
I forgot what I was saying hehe but serioulsy there are loads of older gentlemen who make good Doctors just to make a nice change.
No one sees that they could have Matt Smith play the part for 25 years, turning him into an old man who plays a very old man convincingly? I'd find it greatly ironic if he were both the oldest and youngest person to play the doctor. Althoguh that'd take 30 years. :P

Befor Matt Smith was the Doctor Peter Davison had that acomplishment when he played the Doctor in Time Crash.
Comments
But the doctor has seen starwars, so can imagine how powerful he is.
Plus, he's like a space Gandalf.
NOTHING! Apart from appearing as a ghost and relaying a bit of info to Luke (and telling him to go to Dagabah) he does absolutely nothing!
What does the Doctor do when he's killed? He regenerates! And god only knows how many times he can do this.
I rest my case. Ketsuron.

Ah yes, it's coming back to me now!
The Cradle of the Snake Part One (ie, the third Mara story) (still not listening to these anymore :P)

Drowning her doesn't even stop her!

And Doctor Pooh over at Qwertee goes on sale Monday Evening (finally!). Hooray!

First two minutes of Day of the Moon.
*slaps*
Moffat hates you.
T_T
I am sad. I shall repent by responding to anything I can with random Doctor Who quotes.
Well BBC if you rly need a younger guy I am younger them Matt Smith.:D
