The Lodger (3111/511)

Couple of things:
The ship wasn't necessarily a TARDIS. The doctor said it was a Time Engine. Also, the Emergency Hologram (nice Voyager nod BTW) appeared to be human. I'm thinking perhaps the Time Agency that Jack belonged to. And the hologram said the ship crashed, the crew was killed, and the engine couldn't be restarted without a Pilot/Captain. So it wasn't somebody building a ship, it was an existing ship that just happened to crash there. Something about the Time Ship's architecture reminded me of the Dalek Emperor from Parting of the Ways.
And is it just me, or are Perception Filters gaining wider use? Seems like everybody has a perception filter this season.

2. Craig, I suppose was allright as a representatve of 2010 humanity.
3. Hang on, did Craig somehow recognise the Doctor? Have we just busted the 4th wall?
Solid enough ep - but what the hell is Amy going to make of the ring?
I didn't notice him have any recognition of him until he did the memory transfer and he realised who he was.

The interior also did not even compare to the current one.

I did think that too. Perception filters do seem to have been a bit of a theme this season. I wonder if this itself might have something to do with the pandorica as well. Not sre how though.Please do me a huge favour and help me be with the love of my life.

Yeah, I know, I'm stretching this a bit too much...And now it's time for one last bow, like all your other selves. Eleven's hour is over now... the clock is striking Twelve's.

So Amy starts to remember Rory and the time crack widens? Possible connection between the two or is it just Rory coming back through? Hmm.Originally posted by Craig Charles"And the 'replicator' has just entered Sir Killalot's corner and Killalot is...urm...wait a minute... Sir Killalot has just been eaten by the 'replicator' and now there's two of them..."

I'm sure Amy thinks the Dr is going to propose!
What did people think of the cyberman heads with tenacles in the trailer?Dalek: You are an associate of the Doctor. Records indicate you will show mercy.
Song: I'm River Song, you better check your records again.
Dalek A moments pause: Mercy!
Song: Louder!
Dalek louder: Mercy!
Song: One more time.
Dalek panic: Mercy!!!
Dalek dust drifts away.

Well I am a fan an I want to see the Tardis go boom, or at least temporarily lost. I am fed up them promising a lot an then giving us nothing in the end or a lame get out clause. Seeing the Tardis destroy would make my day. Plus the set just looks better than the current Tardis, way better. An anyway it more of the image of the police box that stays the same rather the Tardis. A few tweaks to the perception filter an you got your police box back.
An yes the ship was a version of the Tardis, doctor said so, a incomplete unworking version. An no it most likely not built by humans. Simply because is needed a species with bigger brains an it kept frying our brains. An no matter how far we seem to go into the future one thing is always seem to remain the same, the humans continue to be stupid an have fairly small brains. I like the idea of it belonging to the time agency, but I suspect that Russell T. Davies creation an Moffat seem to be trying to take Doctor who in his own direction an away from Russell ideas. Plus even a trillion years into the future it seem that the humans still were pretty primitive compared to the Time lords.
Through I did find it strange that the producers hid the identity of the hologram an never let us see it in light which does suggest that may be there more to this story to be told.
I personnally would gave up the football team to learn where the doctor got 40k from, an also where he got the ear piece from to. But that me.
I hope we do see the doctor return to the house, may be after the Tardis is destroy he can hang out there for a while.Last edited by knowles2; 15 June 2010, 06:43 AM.

I did like bits of the not-TARDIS in the lodger, though not enough to want to see it adopted as a new console room.And now it's time for one last bow, like all your other selves. Eleven's hour is over now... the clock is striking Twelve's.

And I somewhat hoped we'd get away from the scratch-built TARDIS console, with taps and whatnot used as controls. But each to their own.

Regarding the other TARDIS...we never did find out what happened to the Master's TARDIS after he made his escape from the Time War. Maybe it found its way to Craig's house?
Then there's the Rani's TARDIS. On last sighting the Rani's TARDIS console had circular touch sensitive-controls which is similar to what we see in this story. Maybe the TARDIS we see is hers?

In this ep, the Doctor says "someone's attempt at building a TARDIS"...so could that line in itself be somewhat telling? Who has the know-how and need to build something that approximates a TARDIS?And now it's time for one last bow, like all your other selves. Eleven's hour is over now... the clock is striking Twelve's.

I believe it is an attempt by another power to build an artificial TARDIS. Or a least a none living one.Please do me a huge favour and help me be with the love of my life.

Originally posted by Sealurk View PostYou know, I actually hadn't thought of the TARDIS interior being a reflection of the good Doctor's own personality. Obvious, when I think about it (especially since they're telepathically linked), but I just completely overlooked it!
The fact that he had to nab the Doctor's (unless it was just closer and more fun to torment his old foe with) at the end of the Universe, and still only had the one despite at least one return trip suggests it is neither there nor here...literally. Presumably it was destroyed or abandoned during his escape from the Time War. Of course, that's speculation, and until such time as he is resurrected - again - we probably won't know. Unless we get an ep dealing specifically with the Doctor finding the Master's TARDIS...hmm, I wonder if they accept freelance scripts...Please do me a huge favour and help me be with the love of my life.
