Which reminds me' IF my dvr doesn't automatically record what ever specials might air I hope people on here will post in advance so that I can set my dvr. For now my dvr only records new episodes of the show and recorded the special since it was listed as part of the main show.Originally Posted by DoctorDodge
FANTASY EMPIRE #1 JULY 1981
Very cool covers, nt, although Davison doesn't look anything like he does on screen.Still, that's the cool thing of seeing stuff like that - it helps give an idea of when the stories that a number of fans now know by heart before they even watch them were brand new.

*ahem* Interesting news...
Any thoughts on the new ep? Personally, I liked itI'll review it once more people have posted.
Just finished watching it, and really enjoyed it. A nice introduction to the new companion, and really liked how different Clara was not just to Amy, but also to Oswin and the Governess. The revelation of the client at the end was pretty cool.
Spoiler:
As for the announcement - yes, I heard about that. My reaction isn't as bad as Pond's, in fact, it's rather hopeful - yes, Ten and Rose isn't exactly one of my favourite pairings, but it does prove something: at least one of the past Doctors and companions have lied about their apparent lack of involvement in the 50th. It makes me wonder greatly just how many more announcements have yet to come, especially since we are, after all, still so very far away from November...

Regarding Clara, my one note I have is, atm: Did anyone else notice her music theme? I find it to be gorgeous. I like it better than Amy's...
GREAT episode! 5/5!
And as much as I loved Rose (don't shoot me, lol), I think I could love Clara/Oswin even more. Fucking gorgeous.
Did anyone notice the book they showed twice in the episode? I thought it was interestingSpoiler:
Does whatever a spiderman does.
I loved this episode. I did see the book and the author and did I imagine a nod towards chapter 11?
I think I am going yo love Clara, the relationship seemed almost paternal, more like doctors of old. Him looking after her (jammy dodgers bless) but mire specifically when he patted her head when she was unconscious. Brilliant!!
Also the bells of st John - genius!
There's so much more, was the girl in the shop rose - her lead in to the 50th or did the tardis reroute the call?
In regards to 10 and rose coming back, I am ok with it. Would have preferred 8 and a story in the time war, but as long as we get more than 10 and rose I'll be happy. Its a shame that the fan girls have started to turn me off 10 and my first thought on the news was 'here we go again, again squealing girls demanding Matt stand aside fir David. I have a lot of faith in moffatt that he won't turn it into a David centric episode though .
Oh, you know me candy, I'd LOVE an 8th Doctor/Time War story. But hopefully, we'll get something interesting. Agreed on the fangirls actually putting me off Ten and Rose a little, though. Speaking of which...
One thing I love was the "blink and you'll miss it" subtlety of the reference. It made it clear that while the DoctorSpoiler:miss them, the show is far more focused on ultimately moving on and telling a brand new story with the new companion. Not like Rose, when every episodes after she left seemed to have the Doctor mentioning how incredibly awesome she was to Martha.

Regarding the phone call, there's a fan theory that maybe it is Sally Sparrow...? After all, she did work at a video store. It's entirely possible that it has since been converted to an electrical store because of the downfall of video rentals. She is a blond who knows the Doctor. I think it'd be cool. She needs to be in the 50th
I've never painted Easter eggs before, and we had JUST finished watching the newest episode!
My other egg, lol:
That's great work, Shannon. Oh, and agreed on your earlier point of how gorgeous Clara is. Jenna-Louise Coleman has really impressed me, as well. I liked her in Asylum, but I prefer her character a lot more here. Looking forward to seeing how her story develops over the coming weeks.
Re-watching latest ep right now, actually. "Seriously...he can do that? He can seriously, actually do that?"My god, he may wear a bow tie, but the man's still got style.

Oddly enough, regarding the bow tie...my favorite outfit in this ep was the monk on. His hair was fabulous
I also love seeing people describe Jenna as gorgeous, because the first thing my friend texted me while watching the episode was "Wow, Clara is basically you - looks and love of tea and everything
did yall see the preview for next week. It looks like it will be awesome but am a little worried that he gave something he shouldn't have....we will see next week.
a note on the 50th anniversary, I hope they bring in The Doctor's Daughter. I would love to see a story with her in it.
Does whatever a spiderman does.
The Doctor's Daughter would be ok, but I didn't think her story was that interesting, tbh. The Doctor's Granddaughter would be much more interesting, especially for something as big as the 50th, imo.

Bring back the doctor's wife! I loved loved loved that episode.
"I wanted to see the universe so i stole a timelord."
She was great, wasn't she, Shannon? Then again, she's still with him, in a way. She's just unable to talk.I'd love a way for her to make an appearance, maybe as a brief hologram or something as a warning. Be a great way to kick off an epic story and show just how desperate things are about to get, imo.

It's obvious what my answers will be so I'll just pose this questions to everyone else: If you had to pick 3 companions to return, who would you want?
Ian, as one of the first ever and an important character who arguably, along with Barbara, really taught the Doctor to have some humanity.
Ace, to see how much she's changed and matured since her "WHO ARE YOU CALLING SMALL?!?" days.
POSSIBLY Romana. Idk, she'd need to be written well I think. Really unsure, though.
(For the record: if Elisabeth Sladen and Nicholas Courtney weren't dead, they'd have been so in my list. Yes, Sarah Jane has appeared several times, but she's such an important character, the Brigadier equally so. Still shocked at the lack of balls RTD had for not bringing him back into the series. Even when he appeared in the Sarah Jane Adventures, it was as a last minute replacement for Freema Agyeman, who was busy at the time. Still burns me that that's what it took for the bastards to bring back one of the most important characters of the mythos - a fucking last minute replacement for a new series companion. The man deserved more respect, imo.)
What about you, Pond? Who would you want back? I know Jamie's one of them, but what other 2?

Well, Jamie...
But I agree with you on Ace, and I really would want Grace from the TV movie but I know that won't happen. It'd be cool to see Romana, but I'm partial to Romana I, and that can't happen. I'd also like Charley, Hex, or Jo Grant....? I could go on. I just really want to see some Classic companions, really, regardless of who they are.
Another announcement has been made regarding the 50th anniversary:
