cyberdrunk Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 The Doctor didn't die in the TV Movie, if you watch it, only one of his hearts fails after the doctors didn't realise that he had two and attempted a procedure that killed one of his hearts, so they thought he 'died'. When he regenrates (which he must have started whilst on the operating table) he even says that the anesthetic slowed down his regenrative process. That's basically why Timelords regenrate, as the 9th Doctor says - "to cheat death". In the case of The Master, he was indeed killed and proved that the regenative process is self inflicted as he 'refused' it. If the 7th Doctor did die in the TV Movie, he would be dead like The Master is at this moment in time. Although he'll have a trick to come back of course! On a similar theme, I went back and reminded myself what caused each Doctor to renegrate, I just hope that the Tenth's won't be long and drawn out. But I bet it will be! 1st Doctor - Collasped through exhaustion/old age 2nd Doctor - Punishment for breaking the laws of time 3rd Doctor - (Radiation) Poisoning 4th Doctor - Fall off a tower 5th Doctor - Posined (My favourite one!) 6th Doctor - Michael Grade/something that The Rani did/nobody's really sure, not even the writer! 7th Doctor - Shot 8th Doctor - ???? Time War, maybe???? 9th Doctor - Absorbed the 'energies of the Time votex', poisoned if you will. 10th Doctor - Trampled by hoardes of hard-up women/girls?

hamburger Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I loved the specials. But what's really bull*beep* is, that Doctor Who fans from all over the world can't watch the extras on BBC's website. Everything is UK only... That's annoying because we can't watch a trailer, the extras, the news... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberdrunk Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 That's because people in UK pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheViolentMessiah Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I'm surprised by all this positive feedback, I thought The Next Doctor was apalling bad, it made me almost switch off I was so bored, the one that followed it was equally as dull, neither of them really had "Special" material, Waters of Mars was acceptable but despite him being amazing I'm thankful Tennant is leaving, it feels like he and Russel T Davis have just given up.

Tanith Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Well in my opinion David Tennant has been fantastic at portraying The Doctor. The older series is a little before my time so didn't really get into Dr Who until the latest series. To me whenever I think of "The Doctor" I will think of Tennant. Will miss him when hes gone. Not to sure about the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosfer2 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 To be honest, I was a bit disappointed with the most recent special. The Waters of Mars was billed as the scariest episode yet, but to my mind it was nowhere near as scary as Blink, for example. It was also a shame that the Ice Warriors didn't make an appearance.

TheViolentMessiah Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Blink seems to have set the bar too high, at least for anything Russel T Davis has his hand in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EOT sounds like a rehash of LOTT and JE mixed together to me, but simm is a fantastic master so looking forward to that yep agreed im happy tennant and rtd are leaving (should of bowled out after JE) , moffat and smith are gonna be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Host Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 For me I think the specials have got better with each one don't care much for David Morrisey anyway and missed the original showing as I was away in Florida for 3 weeks the 2nd one was much better and felt Michelle Ryan was a far better assistant just the right side of the 70's Dr Who ham!!!! Waters of Mars was another step on back to the serious side of the Doctor and we have seen him now spiralling towards his death to say the worse episode was the one that starred the iconic villian just proves what a lot of people have saying for a while that we are bored of the Cybermen and Daleks Moffat is going the right way trying to set up new icons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
