Quote:No, what the Doctor was saying, was that it took billions of years of evolution whilst living next to the untempered schism to produce the Time Lords. A single generation of flying through the Time Vortex wouldn't have a huge effect on someone, but it would open a door, given them a head start.Originally Posted by Tenzhi
Did he? The way I understood him, a fully formed person couldn't be mutated in the short span of a lifetime exposure to the Time Vortex (as it normally takes billions of years), but when the likelihood of the actual conception having occurred in that environment was pointed out to him he had an "Oh crap!" moment that implies such an event could result in that unique mutation (1/2 timelord DNA). And such hybrid DNA gives Them (nebulous bad guy pronoun) a headstart on full Time Lord DNA. -
Quote:I'd say this is more likely, although I expect it won't be from the Doctor, but one of the other Time Lords that are almost definitely still out there, like the Master, the Rani, Rassilon or Omega... or maybe the MonkOriginally Posted by starphoenix
If River didn't have Time Lord DNA from the start, then it would require Time Lord DNA from another source so the bad guys might have injected the Doctor's DNA into her. She would be more susceptible to Time Lord DNA compared to a regular human fetus.
Besides, if it had been a natural mutation, it wouldn't have made her part Time Lord, it would have made her something totally different. -
Quote:Ah, but the Doctor said that it doesn't work that way, conceiving a child on the TARDIS doesn't make the child any part Time Lord, what it did do was give the bad guys a head start, something they could work from.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
This was discussed. Conceived onboard the TARDIS, in-flight through the time vortex. Mutation, and probably one of the functions of the TARDIS (stabilizing life functions of passengers (see: Castrovalva).

Quote:I wonder if people listen to themselves. Doctor Who might not be your average family show, but I don't think it's in the realms of Oedipus levels of incest.Originally Posted by The_Spad_EU
Yes, that makes perfect sense and explains why he was so excited about the prospect of further romance *with his own mother*...

Guys, we saw her mother and father at her wedding after the Doctor rebooted the universe.

The reason River didn't regenerate in Silence in the Library, aside from the fact that who she was probably hadn't been established, was that she said if the Doctor used himself as a connection it would have killed him outright too. I don't see why it'd be different for any River.

There are some people out there who have been doing Doctor Who slash fiction. Amy/River to be exact. I wonder if this episode will make their brains go boom. -
Before we get any further, I'd like to say:
AMERICANS BEWARE!
We are not talking about the second part of The Reble Flesh, we are talking about the mid season finale, A Good Man Goes to War.
You are a week behind the UK.
This thread will likely contain spoilers for both episodes! -

They proved you can get to altitude with it, and parachute safely from that height, but there remains the issue of low altitude failure, where the parachute wouldn't have time to deploy and slow you properly.
A 200ft fall is potentially just as deadly as a 2000ft fall. -
A lot of games require admin rights. CoH is hardly unique in this aspect.

Quote:Just listened to it on iPlayer, you are correct.Originally Posted by Shagster
I've seen a lot of other websites say it was David Tennant's voice saying "I'm the Doctor" a bit after the Tom Baker dub line. I'll have to listen closely on next viewing of the episode.
-
I call bull!
I can't see Tennant coming back this quickly, especially after his farewell and Moffet trying to forge his own style in the show. -
I'm pretty sure the only one that changed was Tom Baker's line.

SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quote:Okay, so a pile of twisted rotting Flesh that's still sentient, still awake isn't scary?Originally Posted by Tenzhi
I didn't notice that it ever got scary. When did that supposedly happen?
What about hyper elongated mouths?
Walls filled with eyes?
Giant freaky monster that's giant and freaky?
Woman about to give birth in a small perfectly white box with just a hatch in it?
Really? -
Anyone else think this episode might have crossed a line with it's scariness though? I mean... there was some real nightmare fuel in this one.
That episode was so good though! SO GOOD! -
First of all, I know that our American friends won't get to see this for another week, if you are reading this thread I say to you, do not get spoiled. Avoid spoilers like they are the plague... just... stay away.
This thread will have HUGE SPOILERS!!!! Stay the HELL away! Just stay away if you have not seen this episode.
No joke.
*ahem*
SPOILERS:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHH! THAT TWIST ENDING!!!!

Quote:Well, they already have HD 3D TVs that don't require glasses. The only problem is viewing angle and price.Originally Posted by starphoenix
Have to agree with this. Give 10 years and we might see 3D TVs without the glasses.
Price will come down naturally as time goes on, so it's all about that viewing angle. -
Quote:Yet. Technology will improve. Many companies are working on it.Originally Posted by QuiJon
If the 3ds is any indication of a TV or movie screen using a direct no glasses 3d model it would never work for a large crowd or audience. Its just to personalized to having to hold it or view it at just the right angle. Dont get me wrong the 3ds works, but it couldnt be the main tv in your home in a neutral spot for multiple viewers.

Quote:Colour and Sound were both accused of being gimmicks when they were invented.Originally Posted by Panzerwaffen
Probably because 3D is nothing more than a gimmick.. It's not about improving the film, it's about improving the bottom line for the theater..
Just because we haven't seen 3D used properly yet (which is debatable, Avatar had amazing 3D), doesn't mean we won't.
The biggest problem so far is that most "3D" films aren't filmed in 3D, but converted... poorly. This is the equivalent of making a silent film and then dubbing in other actor's voices or making a black and white film and colourising it.
If you do a good job, it'll be fine, if you do a bad job it'll be horrible. Bad jobs are cheaper. -
Quote:Colour too. And Sound. All these silly fads.Originally Posted by Unknown_User
I think that 3D should be done away with all together

Pretty sure that the spot in Africa refers to Gorilla City. (Gorilla Grodd, and all that).
Simply labelling it "Under Grodd's control" would have removed all controversy. -
When was the last one?
Anyway, I really loved this episode, it was really creepy and had great atmosphere.
SPOILERS!
And when she had a worm neck and and was coming towards the camera was just AMAZINGLY freaky! I bet some kids ended up behind the sofa! -
Randy Savage was a wrestler that defined an age in wrestling, he was one of the big three, up there with Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant and it's a shame that he's gone.
