^ Your friend has waaay too much free time

Indeed.

But I kind of like the idea of

Spoiler:

Philip Glenister playing the Master.

Spoiler:

"I am the Master, an' I'm havin' 'oops!"

Very enjoyable episode.

I notice many people liked the kittens, ahhh. Oh oh really?

Brannigan said they were 2 months old, that is when hell on new earth starts. I actually do have five 3 month old kittens plus mum. No doubt about it they are cute when all cuddled up together sleeping, but the thought of being stuck in a small van with them is mind boggling.
The writers obviously do not know how much 6 cats eat and as a consequence how quickly they can fill a stinking litter tray. My god with all that pollution on the motorway you could not breath inside or outside. Then there is the manic running, jumping, climbing and fighting.

I love my cats but if it was a choice between living with them in a tiny van or jumping down to be macra fodder I would jump.

I'll be sure and pass that along.

If it's in a magazine it isn't "common knowledge," no matter how much you want to believe it is. Thanks for remembering spoiler tags this time. I know I'm not the only one who appreciates it.

Ok, fine. No need to beat me about the head with it.

Brilliant! So ambitious and spectacular! I agree that David Tennant is a master of his profession and a great credit to the show. Martha is shaping up well (though she really needs screaming lessons). Love those lesbian grandmas! And the black cat with the two girls... creepy.

A few of you have spoken of a flimsy plot, I hardly noticed, but for one gaping annoyance that also struck me in The End of the World and New Earth, and that is that the year is around 5 billion... that is RIDICULOUS! I've never been to the future, but I can tell you that if the human race survives that long (which it won't) there's not a chance in hell it would be anything like this. All the characters, the designs, the physiology, the language, everything simply is wrong. To me, the year would be more suited to be around 3000, much more credible. But 5 billion? Truly, what were they thinking?

On a happier note, we weren't in London! Nor will we be for the next two eps, hoorah!! But after this next appearance of the Daleks.. it should be their last.

I don't appreciate being laughed at nor do I like the implication that my concerns are imaginary and that y'all are only playing along to humor those imagined few individuals who aren't aware of the "common knowledge."

Well, if the Brannigans have a set-up like Martha's kidnappers then their waste gets recycled as food. So having kittens producing a lot of waste would produce a lot of food.

Can we drop this please? Skydiver's request for spoiler tags was hardly onerous, and it was certainly reasonable, and since anyone who's been here more than a few weeks must surely have sussed our spoiler policy, there's no need to discuss it.

(But in case anyone's unsure, we have NO "unless you think everyone else knows / unless you think that since you know everyone who matters knows / unless you read it in a magazine with a high circulation" clause in the rules.)

Any questions / comments, they can be asked / made in the Ask the Mods thread or somewhere else that isn't here.

[BruTak]

I refer the honorable Mods to my previous post.
Point taken, lesson learned - as far as I'm concerned the matter is at an end.

Hey! The episode...
Don't think I could've coped being the Brannagans, I'm allergic to cats
