Part 2 of that one was what did it for me.
Fracking scarecrows freaking me out.
Meh, I get random and adventurous dreams all the time. Just the other night I dreamt an alternate route for me and my girlfriend ending up together, that we met in a giant castle and we went for a walk across a giant bay to a small hamlet that sold DVDs.
Anyroad! See the Doctor has this image of being pretty much invincible, playing a super vulnerable and scared human was a really good change. I thought his fear was better than his omnipotence. Shame we won't see him like that again
RANDOMFACT- He was in "Who do you think you are" and it turns out his family descends from the Isle of Mull. A place I'm fond of myself.

Interesting to see that. I'd always assumed that Paul McGann was classed as sort of outside of the main story, like Peter Cushing. But there he is in the middle of the journalCan't say I do myself – but if you're having bizarre dreams then maybe you should start a journal about them...

In which case The Master was pulled into the Eye of the TARDIS and can't be Mister Saxon. Or can he?
There was a bit of a debate in fan circles about whether or not McGanns Doctor is canon a lot of people got rather excited when they saw him in that journal, as it now means hes all official and everything. However, theres no room for Peter Cushing it seems.Interesting to see that. I'd always assumed that Paul McGann was classed as sort of outside of the main story, like Peter Cushing.

And Im sure that if theres a way to escape, the Master will find it. It appears to have cost him his goatee, though.

I dreamt that the chinese had kidnapped the doctor for some reason and I had a tank which i drove into china and went into this building to check the place out, there were a bunch of people in there who freaked out when they saw me and told me to leave now, so i went back outside and saw that my tank was gone.
I just knew it was the cybermen.
Where did you find that picture Jaffa? I loved that part of the first episode, even though it was only for a split second! They never showed the whole book though, so I'm curious where you found that. Furthermore, I'd love to actually read that journal if it actually exists, as it looks as though a decent amount of effort was put into it!
What I find truly interesting is the dark turn taken by the Doctor as portrayed by David Tennant. The latest incarnation has very little mercy for his opponents. In the past, this was not always so. I for one, am quite pleased by this. As for where it will eventually lead, I will not yet speculate.
Yes, I like it as well. I realize Doctor Who is technically supposed to be more of a "family show" for the kids and so forth, but it is nice to see a little more seriousness in this respect. I know it's not fair, but I compare Doctor Who to Battlestar Galactica and in terms of dark, serious, dramatic sci-fi, there is no comparison.
So I'm glad to see it and I hope they continue with it. I always thought it was a shame we didn't get to see more of McCoy's Doctor, as there was a lot of potential there as well - he was showing tendencies of being a "darker Doctor" as well but unfortunately the series ended and we never were able to explore that more. You could tell the writers were definitely incorporating mroe of those elements though...
And along those lines, if I recall correctly, Colin Baker initially wanted to play a darker Doctor as well but the producers wouldn't let him.
I think he wanted to be a little more jaded and complicated, and I believe he even pushed for wearing an all-black outfit, along the lines of The Master - kind of funny to think about when you see what he ended up with for a costume in the end.
It's a still from the front page of the BBC Doctor Who website they had an animation which flicked through the journal. Unfortunately, it only repeated a couple of pages at speed to give the effect of the complete book.
And now you can or at least, you can peruse a collection of screengrabs from Mr Smith's Journal Of Impossible Things. There are some wonderfully whimsical comments in there which I rather enjoyed, I especially liked his reference to K9 which I've swiped for my current sig...I'd love to actually read that journal if it actually exists, as it looks as though a decent amount of effort was put into it!
I know that I owned a dog, but I kept giving them away or losing them. So I decided to protect it by making a kennel on wheels that covered it...
It's certainly a lovely looking journal, and it's been a big hit among fans if the internet reaction is anything to go by. They ought to make a replica ready for the shops in time for Christmas, I reckon they'd make an absolute killing.
As he said back in School Reunion...
I'm so old now. I used to have so much mercy... You get one warning.
I agree with you, I like my Doctors to have a hint of darkness.
Here, perhaps?
Is that the Valeyard? Doesn't look like him from what I remember.... that was a long time ago though...
Yep, it is indeed the Valeyard (or Doctor 12.5, if you prefer). He's not got his little skullcap on in the pic I posted, so that might be foggying your memory a little.

Ah yes, I now see that if I mouse over the image it is titled "valeyard.jpg" - d'oh!
Yes, it has been a while...
A whole generation of kids are now going to be terrified of statues! Brilliant episode, really creepy... on a par with The Empty Child for me.
Same writer, of course. It's a shame that Steven Moffat can't write more episodes.
That makes sense then. Some of Mark Gatiss' (spelling?) work is pretty good too... but I think Russell T. Davies is overrated even if we have him to thank for bringing the Doctor back to our screens.
Yeah, I've found nearly all of Russell T Davies's episodes to be disappointing, with the exception of Gridlock and possibly Smith and Jones. I can't help but think that the current series has benefited from less RTD-scripted episodes, although the few that he has written so far have been much improved, presumably because he's been able to spend more time refining his ideas.
Mark Gatiss wrote The Unquiet Dead (episode three of the first series), which was generally well-received, but he also wrote The Idiot's Lantern, which was possibly the low point of series two, along with Love & Monsters.
The Idiot's Lantern was quite disturbing... the faceless victims were a particular high point for me, even if the episode overall was disappointing.
Love and Monsters sucked for two reasons IMO: 'Celebrity' appearance by Peter Kay, the least funny comedian to come out of the UK since Jimmy Tarbuck, and the slurring, geezer-wideboy Marc Warren.

Well that was fantastic, easily my favourite of the series so far, it even made me jump a couple of times, a very enjoyable, clever and somewhat frightening episode. I've never liked Angel statues ( and thanks to Doctor Who I never will ) they've always creeped me out, glad I haven't got any kids because I think they would be having nightmares tonight.
