I enjoyed this a lot tonight. The science was dodgy but that`s par for the course with Who ( classic and new ) but it was a tense, exciting 45 minutes

Rubbish. The science in the original series was for the most part plausible whereas in the new series Gayviews has totally ignored the laws of science altogether and talked complete crap because his conception of the original series is based on popular parody rather than on reality.

You have to be joking. Exactly how often did Pertwee have to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow before anyone with an ounce of science education realised that scientific accuracy wasn't a priority?


of family drama. People claiming it to be a rip off off Sunshine are off the mark as this was almost certainly written before the writer had any idea of that film ( which has only recently come out ). No CGI monster, just a man in a mask which is what many were asking for afeter the last episode, a tight well paced script that, although cliched, compares in style to the Hinchcliffe era.


No it doesn't. Its a lame attempt to copy ST TNG and 24.

In what sense? Plot? Character?


A sun that`s alive...sure it`s stupid but if you`re looking for hard SF you should have given up on Dr Who when you were 8 years old and started reading books.

Rubbish. Hinchcliffe would never have contemplated such an idea without explaining why a sun, which is nothing more than a nuclear fusion reactor could develop not only intelligence but supernatural powers to possess peoples minds and bodies. Even stupider than that, why should it give a stuff about people scooping up its hydrogen when hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and one atom of it is not different to any other, its like getting pissed off by the water company recycling your urine.

So remind me. What was Hinchcliffe's scientific explanation for the life-force draining cabinet in "Talons of Wen-Chiang"? Exactly what was the scientific basis for the time corridor in which Sutekh perished?
