<p>I did. Sense-sphere, Ood-sphere; the two species seem to be related in some way.</p><p>Moving on to the next two episodes, the ones with Sontarans - they are very good.&nbsp;Christopher Ryan was excellent as the leader of the Sontarans, General Staal.&nbsp;Ryan played 'Mike' in the '80s cult show 'The Young Ones'; he has had a few good roles since then, but this is probably his best.</p><p>I like the concept of the Sontarans; a clone race from a high gravity planet, they were all cloned from a famous warrior and are therefore equally skilled in warfare- and they love it. Thay are also very strong- and all are five feet tall. As clones they all act alike, and in battle they all move as one; some are older than others, and these tend to be higher in rank.</p><p>&nbsp;A shame we don't get to see the Sontaran home world. With a higher gravity, the planet probably has a denser atmosphere, and may retain substantial amounts of helium- on their homeworld, Sontarans might speak in high-pitched, Donald Duck voices, but that's just my idle speculation.</p><p>Another piece of idle speculation concerns the problems CSI teams have on Sontar; after all DNA tests are useless there. "Your DNA has been found at the crime scene, mister!" "I'm sure it has- but don't forget it's the same DNA as everyone else on the planet, including yours."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>---------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>http://orionsarm.com  http://thestarlark.blogspot.com/</p> </div>

Jonathon Pryce has also been frequently rumored as a possible Doctor, but is probably too expensive even for a guest appearance.&nbsp; (He appeared for free in this one, along with everyone else.)&nbsp; Julia Sawalha had been considered for a companion previously, but the series was cancelled before that could happen.&nbsp; (She was to follow Ace.)&nbsp; Atkinson has also been rumored as a possible Doctor, and has expressed interest in the part. </p><p>The whole thing was composed of in-jokes.&nbsp; They run up and down obviously identical corridors (the same set used repeatedly).&nbsp; One lethal trap ("the spikes of doom") is replaced by "the sofa of reasonable comfort", a reference to how children were always said to hide behind the sofa when Doctor Who would come on.&nbsp; Whenever something improbable requires an explanation to cover the total lack of suspension of disbelief, the Doctor merely says, "I'll explain later."&nbsp; The best send-up of the latter is when Emma asks the Daleks why there are chairs on a Dalek ship anyway, to which a Dalek replies, "WE WILL EXPLAIN LATER."&nbsp; The language is usually very melodramatic, from the tautological title (how many deaths aren't fatal?) to the Master's grandiose language.&nbsp; I won't give away all of the gags, but really, the whole thing is priceless.</p><p>The quality of the acting is what really makes it shine.&nbsp; Moffat turned out a brilliant script, but it could've been screwed up very easily.&nbsp; It was the sort of comedy where everybody has to be perfectly serious -- the characters must not realize how hilarious the whole thing is, or they'll just come across as being silly.&nbsp; Pryce is able to deliver lines such as "the deadly vengeance of deadly revenge!" with total seriousness (though he chews an awful lot of scenery in the process -- but this is essential to his send-up of the Master).&nbsp; Atkinson is a superb Doctor, and would do a fine job in the real series.&nbsp; A lot of people tend to think that this electrical engineer turned comedian lacks real acting talent, probably due mostly to seeing Mr Bean and concluding that he's just a modern Charlie Chaplin (perhaps failing to grasp just how difficult physical comedy really is), but here he is neither Bean nor Blackadder -- he is the Doctor, though with the characteristic disdain that Atkinson does so well.</p><p>Really, a fantastic production, especially considering that it was done far more cheaply than Doctor Who had ever been done before -- as it was for a charity production, cast and crew donated their time and many items were borrowed from fans who had built them for their own productions (all of the Daleks, the TARDIS set, etc). </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>

<p><BR/>Replying to:<BR/><DIV CLASS='Discussion_PostQuote'>&nbsp;Calli, how could you, Rose is great!&nbsp; Best of the Companions I've seen so far anyway (the last three seasons I mean).Can't agree with you about Catherine Tate though, Matt.&nbsp; She gives new meaning to the word awful, though I will readily concede my opinion is tainted by that terrible dross she's calls her self-titled "comedy" show.&nbsp; That has to have been the worst half hour of British TV I've seen in quite some time, "funny" being it's most glaring deficiency.&nbsp; I do agree they should rest the Daleks now though ... less is more, and all that.&nbsp; I don't know that the storylines involving them so far have been deserving of The Doctor's greatest foe (or second, if you allow for The Master).&nbsp;SK&nbsp; <br /> Posted by SpaceKiwi</DIV></p><p>I liked Rose a lot at first, but in her second season she started to wear a bit.&nbsp; Mostly, it wasn't so much Rose that bothered me as the fact that they were going almost soap-opera about her relationship with the Doctor.&nbsp; It was starting to lean towards a bit of a Mary Sue.&nbsp; I think they had Rose move on at the right time.&nbsp; They couldn't go much further without seriously compromising a lot of the old rules of the series (the paramount of which was "no hanky-panky in the TARDIS").&nbsp; It is a kid's show, after all, and most under-10s aren't all that interested in love stories.&nbsp; Rather, it was something directed towards the adult fans who grew up with the series.&nbsp; And while nods to the adult fans are fun, it mustn't lose sight of what it *is*.&nbsp; This is Doctor Who, not fanfiction, and one should be careful lest one begin inserting elements simply because they are cool and not because they serve the story.&nbsp; As a for-instance, that sort of thing was beginning to happen to Ace in the New Adventure novels.</p><p>I think Rose moved on at the right time -- they got her out before the temptation became too great.&nbsp; But it could still happen, since they're bringing her back.&nbsp; We'll see.</p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>
