I know I'm a rabid fanboy on this, but canonical sense would be appreciated. If you change the dynamics of the story weekly, then the basic history falls apart.Wasder said:People, this is Dr. Who, it's not meant to make proper scientific sense. Or be particulary good, but we love it anyway. And Lee Evans was brilliant.

Guys, that's the master. Remember, New Doctor Who, Series Three? Y'know, "Dudududum".

dont you remeber the one where the daleks and cybermen invaded earth they just shoved it on the back of a van then as well.The_root_of_all_evil said:How could UNIT move the TARDIS when Bad Wolf shows that it needs a removal van to even pull a lever?
A wizard did it.The_root_of_all_evil said:Ok, so far
No, I didn't like it.WHY THE HELL DIDN@T SHE STEAL THE CRYSTAL FOR A START? She's a thief, that's a crystal from another universe bigger than her head!
Why did she run through the museum in the opening scene?
why did they not have a laser grate above it?
why did they leave it under a breakable ceiling
why is an AV clamp needed to be around a crystal
how did UNIT get back up to full strength
why do the words SHOOT ON SIGHT not be understood?
who exactly will be court martialled in UNIT
how did they know what the Tenth Doctor sounded like?
why UNIT, who have fought aliens, were gawping at a flying bus?
Why are fly people coprovores when they feed off sugar, why have they lost their wings, hairs, cold kills insects, how have they rigged a ONE WAY telepathic communicator, why do they shrug for don't know, why is another alien race killed when meeting the Doctor
Why isn't anyone aware of this swarm that devours a planet annually?
Why AGAIN do we have someone point a gun, not fire it and then forget about it?
Why is a truck mounted cannon firing seeking missiles and what are they seeking?
Why does a metal manta ray not smash when it falls?
How come the Doctor didn't radio to close the gate AS SOON AS HE WAS THROUGH?
How come the Sonic Screwdriver works on EVERYTHING?
Ten Mile Hole : Already said
Why do they need a ten mile hole?
How do they fly if they're made of metal?
Why do we have the Stupid Copper/HyperIntelligent Thief combo right out of SMokey & the Bandit/Live and Let Die?
How come there just happens to be a low level psychic on the bus?
How come the Lottery didn't work out that someone is winning exactly the same amount twice every week in the same place?
How do bullets work against a metal manta?
Why does a spaceship drive need gold?
Where did the gold go?
Why was there a big red button next to the security grate?
Why couldn't the FLY people climb down there?
How does a telepathic translator tell the truth?
How do you turn metal into sand?
Why didn't anyone think to check if there was anyone on the top deck?
Why wasn't anyone on the top deck?
Why did the line "They're going to die" have to be said above the "No smoking" sign that's visible on the OUTSIDE of the bus?
Why is an antigrav clamp down the bottom of a massive tunnel on a worthless crystal?
How do Manta Rays get sucked into spaceship jets?
If they go dormant when it's cold, surely arriving on a cold planet would kill them?
If they can create a field by travelling at 33mph (100 miles in 20 minutes), why don't our motorways create temporal warps?
How come the Manta Rays weren't DIRECTLY behind the bus when it came through the gate?
Why didn't the Rays eat something on the Earth side, or fly off?
And AGAIN, we have some lame ass riddle primed to get the internet talking about four knocks, which he'll then overstate again and anti-climax it
I was ranting. Still, there's enough satellites up there to do similar.dombot said:erm 33mph is 33 miles in one hour, 300mph is 300 miles in an hour hence 100 miles in 20 minsThe_root_of_all_evil said:If they can create a field by travelling at 33mph (100 miles in 20 minutes), why don't our motorways create temporal warps?

It wasn't that bad.The_root_of_all_evil said:Worthless pile of trash. I'll be sitting in a corner, crying.
You mean the remade daleks with emotions and the alternate universe cybermen? That put the Tardis on the back of a van despite only one of them having hands? And the TADS?Spacewolf said:dont you remeber the one where the daleks and cybermen invaded earth they just shoved it on the back of a van then as well.The_root_of_all_evil said:How could UNIT move the TARDIS when Bad Wolf shows that it needs a removal van to even pull a lever?
as for the all the motorways not creating a rip i suppose its because all of the billions of humans arnt moving in the same direction
See, that's the best people can say about it. In the hands of a proper writer with that budget and that time slot, it should have been awesome at least.Spyalt said:It wasn't that bad.The_root_of_all_evil said:Worthless pile of trash. I'll be sitting in a corner, crying.
from the adverts it looked really good and i actually wanted to watch it. it seemed to be one of those occations where they showed all the good bits in the advertisement. if you're a fan (which TenthGeneration seems to be) then it's well worth watching. if not, watch it if you have nothing better to do.The_root_of_all_evil said:See, that's the best people can say about it.

More or less. Especially the ending (it actually made me shout out loud the word "WHAT?"). If the next series remains the same, I'm going to find Mark Thompson and punch him in his gob. Dr. Who should not be subject to this kind of poor treatment.The_root_of_all_evil said:Worthless pile of trash. I'll be sitting in a corner, crying.
