My problem was that the Wedding of River Song treated it as an afterthought rather then something significant - we all knew it was a cop out, but we literally only get like forty seconds of explanation before we move on.
Barnes and Noble has 50% off all British TV. My wallet!
Agreed. Only replacing one word would have been better. Like "the lion, the witch and the TARDIS", with the lion being a metaphor for the brave doctor. Or something.
BBC Worldwide today released the first details of a major new gaming development for the Doctor Who brand. Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock will be the first of a series of Doctor Who console games developed by BBC Worldwide Digital Entertainment and Games marking a significant movement into gaming for this business. Two further Doctor Who console game titles are planned to follow this release with details to be announced next year. Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock is being created in full high definition for digital download platforms and is set for release in early 2012, initially on Playstation 3 ®; Playstation Vita ® and PC platforms.
Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock will immerse gamers in the universe of Doctor Who, allowing them to take on the role of the Doctor and River Song as they travel across time and space to save the Earth. Gamers must learn to master the complexities of time travel with exceptional time based game play, changes made in one time will impact another creating multiple possibilities and challenging players to solve puzzles across the centuries.
A wholly new storyline has been developed especially for this new Doctor Who console game franchise, written in collaboration with the BBC Wales team. Photo-real graphics, television quality scenes and highly realistic characters will bring the world of Doctor Who to life immersing fans completely in the twists and turns of an action filled plot. The stars of the series Matt Smith (the Doctor) and Alex Kingston (River Song) have recorded full voiceovers for their characters inDoctor Who: The Eternity Clock and motion capture has been used to create in-game characters that are incredibly realistic providing the ultimate Doctor Who gaming experience.
I've grown tired of River Song as a character. If you want me to expand on that, I'll happily do so.
Out of Matt Smith's first two series, she's appeared in 9 episodes (10 if you count the end of The Lodger). Wee bit too much for my taste, considering she was essentially written as a one-off character for Silence in the Library. As her role has gotten bigger and bigger, I think her dialogue has lowered in quality, I've grown very tired of her cocky attitude and Alex Kingston is becoming a rather irritating part of the show for me.
It's mostly an extension of my dissatisfaction with the direction the show has taken under Grand Admiral Moffat's reigns. But having to share a game with a character I've gotten tired of? Not a particularly big draw!
Well, there's this character, right? And she's been in it a lot. And some of us are fed up with her. For being in it a lot. And being annoying.
I'm hoping that her story is pretty much over, and that she won't be popping up quite so often from now on. I mean, they got rid of Captain Jack, so why shouldn't we be lucky a second time?

Actually, I'm glad you brought up Captain Jack, 'cause it means I get to ask:
"What happened to Captain Jack's missing three years?"
He mentions it exactly once in The Doctor Dances, and then nothing. It's never brought up again and for all Torchwood's time-travelling shenanigans, it's never explained. Did the writers just forget about it?

I think its an aborted ark because RTD didn't know he was going to make him immortal or in Torchwood at the time of his creation.
Jack was supposed to be the big companion for Series Two, as the original plan was the main arc being Doc 9 and Jack searching for a cure to Rose's TARDIS Energy Demigod-ness. Sounds far better than the series we got.
I watched "Time and the Rani" again this week, and I may like McCoy. His run is awesome. Also, river song is awesome. I'm hoping for her to have half a series or so as a proper full-time companion, if only to explore the concept of the doctor being married a bit more. She reminds me a bit of Romana, and I think that now she's married, and both characters know it, her character can tame down a bit, to be more agreeable to those that hate her.
Also, what was rose supposed to be doing for the whole of that alternative series 2 then? Just sitting in the Tardis, burning the BBC's SFX budget?

I believe the Doctor would have somehow toned it down and they would have treated more like a terminal illness throughout series two with Rose still being around. So there's a chance we missed a whole series of Nine/Jack/Rose!
Well then. I just bought The Key to Time, The Dalek War, The Space Museum/The Chase, and Kinda for $80 total from Barnes and Noble. Due to my theory every story is good when watched episodically and therein watching an episode each weeknight and never more then that, I'll have enough classic Who to last me 10 weeks. Add to that Invasion of the Dinosaurs and the Android Invasion which come out in the interim and that's another two weeks, which brings me to the week after the release of the Sensorites nad Caves of Androzani, which then carries me into the release of the Revisitations titles, and that'll last another three weeks, and then I'll be free. At the end of March. In time for my Birthday. OH GOD ITS TOO MUCH.
Maybe one of the lost episodes reveals a secret about The Doctor.
It's only the visuals that are lost. All the soundtracks were saved by fans putting antideluvian tape recorders up against the TV, so there's probably not much scope for surprises of that nature.

Ah, but we will be shocked to learn that towards the end of Galaxy 4 the entire cast got completely naked!
(Incidentally, just to rub it in for you non-subscribers, "The Five Companions" is superb!)
Nah, it was good, not superb, though. Very clever with regards to placement, but Polly felt like she didn't belong without Ben (which is something, as Ben/Polly/Jamie are my favorite TARDIS team!), although that one scene with her was very good, though. Sara and Steven and Ian were all excellent, though. I hope we see Older Sara and Steven together at last recounting adventures together in the Companion Chronicles (if The Anachronauts does not use this as a framing device, I'll be somewhat saddened!).
A radio interview with Moffat & Smith. It's actually really awesome, and pretty funny. Plus it features audio only clips of the christmas special. The closest we'll get to a BF 11th doctor audio play any time soon!
Oh, and Hornet's Nest is now on the iplayer (radio). It's not that great. More like a book then a play, with Tom literally describing everything he's doing in immense detail.
I bow to your superior pictures of cute cats, as well as your magical ability to drag threads back onto topic. Clearly you are far more powerful than anything I could have imagined.

I wouldn't go so far but I agree that it doesn't flow well at all
2) We know nothing about it besides the name (The Eternity Clock) and what it'll be on (PC, PS3 and PSVita).
3) I've pretty much had enough of River Song.
I do not understand.

Thanks ^^

I think one of the missing episodes of the Moonbase has him sign his name as 'Dr. Who', so that counts as something.

Vicki held up a sign saying River Song is
Hey, that's the one with the Drahvins, right?

I saw that on BBC 3 60 second news.
Sorry. Here's a cute kitty to offset the absurd level of sarcasm in that.
Oh and the sun is the holy gospel?
Love the cute little distraction! LOVE IT!
Cute enough for you?
