I'm going with Heroes because we can watch Doctor Who on CBC.ca. Plus, the dvds come out soon....in November, I think.

Of course it just has to happen that these are two shows that don't get repeats.
Not to mention the season premiere of Corner Gas is also on, so I guess I'll have to miss that altogether.
It's disappointing that they're doing this- one of the things that I love about Doctor Who is the anticipation for the next episode, and because the seasons are so short, it just feels.....wrong, to air two on the same night.

Originally posted by ShadowMaat View PostDepends on how long the "anticipation" is forced to last. A week? No problem. A year? That's a little more touchy. And I'm thinking more in terms of the proposed year-long break for BSG's final season than the year-long siesta for DW.

I mostly enjoyed it, except for most of the Futurekind crowd scenes, which felt like they were in desperate need of a choreographer, or at least an acting coach. But because I did enjoy so much of the episode, I resented being repeatedly kicked out of the drama by the annoyances:
Some of the editing was bewilderingly crude. Hopefully that was because it was the Sci-Fi Channel version?
The music. Ugh! It would have been a much more involving episode if there hadn't been any music. Instead, the mood kept getting spoiled by "42" crashing in at peculiar times.
I rolled my eyes when Yana, menacing Chantho with a sparking cable, identified himself. It cut into the suspense and turned the scene into a cliche. I rolled my eyes again when he named himself again later for no good reason. And when it got to the "Say my name!" scene I yelled at the screen "We know already!" Talk about sabotaging the drama. Why they didn't go with that scene alone as the great reveal? Sheesh! The audience who didn't know the significance would have been delightfully shocked that the Doctor knew him, and those that did know would have been cheering. Instead it was repetitive and felt like filler.Wordsmit2

But a year? I'll have forgotten why I was interested by then. For example, I missed the first three episodes of the current series of Doctor Who before I happened to have a free hour that coincided with a broadcast.Wordsmit2

Thank goodness for the last 5 minutes, otherwise this episode was nothing special at all. It's good to see Jack back but i felt the Doctor was unnecessarily cold towards him. So are we to believe that out of the entire universe and the entire length of the time-line, the Doctor just happens to land on a planet just in time for the Master to reappear? Just seems to me that it's pushing the believability factor way too much, even for Sci fi.

It's something that's continued in the new era. For example, it was supposed to go to London in the 1860s, but headed for Cardiff, because there was weirdness afoot; it was supposed to go to the 1980s but missed by 50 years, drawn by the Wire and the faceless people.
If the Tardis was, for some reason, to go forwards in time a little fast, it'd be more likely to end up heading for where the Master was than for any other specified place, I reckon.

"Oh crap! Captain Jack! Must escape!
*TARDIS begins heading for oblivion......passes by Yana*
"Ooooh maybe he'll kill them instead."Please do me a huge favour and help me be with the love of my life.
