[Mr. Negative]

You guys gotta remember, the time he actually TRAVELED with Jack, Jack wasn't Immortal.


When Rose/Bad Wolf Entity made Jack immortal, The Doctor promptly dumped him and ran off.

Jack showed back up when 10 and Martha went to Cardiff, and only stuck around until the end of the Harold Saxton story. He showed back up during the Children of Time story.

The Doctor and Jack really didn't "travel" together.

 

[Mr. Negative]

and on this last ep.... Maisie killed it.

And yeah, I didn't get why The Doctor wouldn't take Ashildr with him at first, either.

But The Doctor needs mortals around him. All of his "long term" companions know it. River knew it. Clara knows it. Remember "Listen"?

Clara: " how long have you been travelling alone!?"

I suspect it's the real reason River never stayed in the TARDIS, but always urged him to find companions.. She was already psychotic with very little regard for life.

12 mirrors this, which is why he doesn't want someone too much like him hanging around... uh... himself.




The look he gave Clara at the end of this ep was very damning.

Jack wasn't the first immortal to travel with The Doctor though.
The First Doctor traveled with his granddaughter Susan Foreman and Four traveled with Romana who another Time Lord. As a matter of fact he kept Romana around long enough for her to regenerate.

First Doctor had issues. I'd like to think he's the reason The Master is so hung up on them being "Friends". Dude laughed like a maniac at the thought of Rome burning... then laughed again when he realized Nero was gonna burn down Rome on his inspiration.



Susan was very much his "morality pet". First Doctor didn't give a shyt at all.


Four was high on Jelly Babies.



But no, really.... It wasn't about the fact that she was Immortal. It was the fact that she had outlived her compassion. The Doctor has traveled with plenty of killers. As long as he had someone around to remind him what right and wrong were. To care about the little people.

I mean, really... if you wanna be technical? Rory was the oldest person to travel in the TARDIS.

They are making a K-9 movie:

K9, the World's most famous robot dog traverses the dimensions of space and time to become the latest robot star of the big screen!

Having made his TV debut nearly forty years ago in the 1977 Doctor Who TV serial "The Invisible Enemy" K9 went on to become one of the most iconic characters from the BBC series.

A new look high tech K9 for today's cinema is being prepared for film stardom.

The film "K9-TIMEQUAKE" has been written by one of K9's original creators; Bob Baker, a renowned writer of classic Doctor Who serials. Bob went on to co-write with Nick Park the Oscar and Bafta winning Wallace & Gromit series of film shorts as well as the feature film Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

The new K9 will be appearing in a Multi-Million Dollar movie which promises to be a great action adventure set in deep Space. The film will be full of dashing heroes and heroines, Androids, monstrous Aliens and an ultimate foe who will also be familiar to Doctor Who fans everywhere; the megalomaniac OMEGA.

The film is to be a UK co-production with exteriors filmed overseas and studio work planned for the UK.

K9 is the perfect character to star in a movie with a whole new bunch of action heroes making this a home grown Star Wars come Guardians of the Galaxy style cinema must see film.

The film is currently slated for release in 2017 which will be K9's fortieth birthday!

Doctor Who News: K9: TimeQuake

I think Bob Baker created Omega too and has some type of cvreator rights deal that lets him use Who characters he created separate from the Doctor Who show on BBC.

To be fair they kept Jack busy with his Torchwood business so traveling with the Doctor wasn't a top priority with him

Looking back dem early doctors were goons

[Mr. Negative]

I wasn't expecting to like this episode, because I don't like Zygons.

I was wrong.

This ep felt like a dark and claustrophobic political thriller. Alien Syrian refugees running scared from Alien ISIS insurgents.

Had those hostage videos with prisoners reading off demands and shyt....

I enjoyed Osgood's Doctor clothes (7th's sweater and 5th's questionmark collars), but I don't like alien dissonance non-goofy Osgood. Ah, well.

I enjoy The Doctor's glasses and guitar playing, whereas before? I couldn't stand either.

Evil Clara

I'm really enjoying the callbacks to older Doctors. Hell, the unexpected flashback to The DoctorDonna a few eps ago damn near made me cry. Nostalgia flood.

It's amazing how heavy this series feels when it pulls from it's overall history. I really have been watching this shyt all my life? wow.


And I mean, of course The Doctor isn't dead. He prolly wasn't even on the plane. How he reacts to Clara being "dead" again next episode though.... Like right now he's developed this EXTREME fear of losing her. However she "leaves" at the end of this season, it's gonna be ugly.

It's crazy how "natural" the show feels now as opposed to how..... "awkward" it felt last season. Like last season capaldi was an actor playing The Doctor, this season he's "The Doctor".

 

[Still FloW]

the weeping angels still scare the hell out of me...

river song can get it still

 

[Grifter]

And the BAFTA goes to Peter Capaldi.

 

[Mr. Negative]

And the BAFTA goes to Peter Capaldi.

oh my fukking god, breh. He just had his moment.


But.....

" Longest month of my life."

PLEASE tell me he was just being facetious. But that look he gave her (again) is REALLY starting to make me wonder if we're getting the whole story.


And that dude with the glasses in the preview.... Ive seen somebody that looks like him before...... Outfit and all. I can't put my finger on it though.

 

[Grifter]

brehs I love these kind of endings.

 

[Mr. Negative]

brehs I love these kind of endings.

If they would've kept that "Next Time" preview off and just rolled the credits, it would have been perfect.



I got a friend who says Doctor Who is the only show she's ever seen that tries to make you scared of everything. Diet pills, blinking, statues of angels, water, dust in libraries, dreaming peacefully.

I watched this after working all night, went to rub my eye cause I'm tired and stopped myself without thinking about it.


You catch when The Doctor repeated himself when talking about Clara dying? "To die, to die"
